NHTSA Complaint #10935943 — 2010 FORD EDGE

DEC 17,2016 A SEVERE JERKING WHILE DRIVING ON A VILLAGE MAIN ST. WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. I STOPPED CAR, GOT CAR MANUAL, SAW THAT IT WAS POWER TRAIN PROBLEM. I BEGAN GOOGLING AND WILL SEE MY MECHANIC ON MONDAY. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED ABOUT 3WKS AGO I LOST DRIVING POWER AND DROVE MY WIFE TO WORK ON IDLE POWER. WHEN I GOT HOME I SHUT OFF CAR AND STARTED AGAIN AND IT WORKED OK (EXCEPT FOR MILD JERKING) UNTIL NOW (3WKS LATER). MY MECHANIC SAID (AFTER 1ST INCIDENT) THAT IT WAS A THROTTLE PROBLEM, ALTHOUGH HE FOUND NO CODE ERROR. MY WIFE AND I LOVE THIS CAR AND SO DO OUR LITTLE NIECE AND NEPHEW, BUT IT IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. WE JUST GOT BACK FROM TEXAS (4000 MI) BEFORE ALL THIS HAPPENED AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE. MY NEXT STEP WILL BE TO WRITE TO OUR AUTHORITIES BECAUSE THIS SEEMS TO BE A DANGEROUS NATIONAL PROBLEM. ALL THOSE AFFECTED SHOULD DO THE SAME.
