NHTSA Complaint #10967549 — 2011 FORD EDGE

DRIVING IN MIDDLE LANE ON HIGHWAY DURING RUSH HOUR AND SUDDENLY LOST ACCELERATION. THANKFULLY I WAS ABLE TO AVOID BEING REAR ENDED AND COAST TO SHOULDER OF HIGHWAY. AFTER TURNING THE CAR ON ANF OFF A COUPLE OF TIMES, THE CAR RESPONDED WHEN I PUSHED ACCELERATOR. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE A 1/10 OF A MILE TO A LINCOLN DEALER AND LEAVE MY CAR THERE. AFTER GOOGLING THE ISSUE, I SEE MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE WITH FORDS, SOME HAVE BEEN RECALLED, SOME HAVE HAD WARRANTIES EXTENDED TO FIX..(EVEN A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT EXISTS!) BUT, I RECEIVED NO NOTIFICATION FROM FORD THAT THIS COULD BE AN ISSUE. I ALSO DISCOVERED THAT QUITE A FEW PEOPLE SAY THEY WERE IN ACCIDENTS DUE TO THIS ISSUE.THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND I NARROWLY ESCAPED CAUSING A MULTI CAR ACCIDENT!! FORD NEEDS TO BE FORCED TO FIX THIS ISSUE IMMEDIATELY AND TO NOTIFY ALL THOSE IN DANGER BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED!!
