NHTSA Complaint #10946720 — 2007 FORD EDGE

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE WHEN I SUDDENLY LOST POWER. I MANAGED TO SOMEHOW GET MY CAR OFF THE ROAD AND EXIT THE HIGHWAY (I WAS JUST ABOUT TO THE EXIT WHEN THIS HAPPENED). IT WAS LOOKED AT BY A FORD DEALER WHO SAID THE PCM DIED AND TOOK OUT AT LEAST THREE COIL PACKS. TOLD ME IF I DROVE IT ANY FURTHER IT WOULD LIKELY CATCH FIRE. UP TO THIS POINT I HADN'T HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR. IT WAS RUNNING FINE. THIS ALL HAPPENED SO QUICKLY AND IN SUCH A DANGEROUS LOCATION THAT IT COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. UPON RESEARCHING PLACES TO FIX THE ISSUE, I NOTICED A RATHER LARGE AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE AND THIS SAME MAKE MODEL AND CAR YEAR. EACH COMPLAINT SAID THIS HAPPENED ON THE FREEWAY. *TR
