NHTSA Complaint #10995569 — 2013 FORD EDGE

VEHICLE WAS BOUGHT NEW AND NOW HAS 60000 MILES. WE HAVE HAD NO PROBLEMS BEFORE 06/14/17. DRIVING TO WORK, THERE WAS A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER, ACCELERATOR WOULD NOT FUNCTION AND SPEEDOMETER QUIT REGISTERING. THE YELLOW WRENCH CAME ON INDICATING THERE WAS SOME TYPE OF POWERTRAIN FAILURE. VEHICLE WAS ON A TWO-LANE BRIDGE AND HAD TO LIMP TO THE OTHER SIDE TO SAFELY PULL OVER. WAS NOT ABLE TO TRAVEL MORE THAN 1-2 MILES PER HOUR. PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TURNED OFF THE ENGINE. WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND DECIDED TO RESTART THE CAR. VEHICLE WORKED NORMALLY AND WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE INTO WORK. CONTACTED FORD SERVICE AND MAKE APPOINTMENT TO BRING IT IN THE NEXT MORNING FOR DIAGNOSIS. TECHNICIAN VERIFIED CONCERN, TRIED TO PULL A CODE, WAS NOT ABLE TO GET ONE, BUT DETERMINED THE PROBLEM WAS WITH THE THROTTLE BODY INTERNAL FAILURE AND REPLACED AND REPROGRAMMED PCM. A SIMPLE GOOGLE SEARCH REVEALED A RECALL FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM AND PART BY FORD BUT NOT FOR THE EDGE. HOWEVER, IT APPEARS THAT THERE ARE MANY EDGE OWNERS WHO HAVE HAD THIS SAME ISSUE. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND CORRECTED BEFORE SOMEONE DIES OR IS SERIOUSLY INJURED.
