Consumer Description

2012 FORD EDGE RAPIDLY LOSES ACCELERATION AND COMES TO A STOP. THE ENGINE REMAINS RUNNING, BUT THE ACCELERATOR WILL NOT INCREASE SPEED. IT CAUSES A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD AS THE CAR WILL GO FROM 60 TO ZERO IN SECONDS. DRIVER MUST FIND A SAFE PLACE TO PULL OVER, (SOMETIMES IMPOSSIBLE) TO STOP ENGINE AND RESTART TO CONTINUE ON. PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT. REPAIR AT FORD SAYS THROTTLE BODY IS THE PROBLEM AND IT IS HAPPENING ON 2011-2105 FORDS. FORD DOES NOT CARE AND WILL NOT PAY FOR THE REPAIR IF YOU ARE OUT OF WARRANTY. THIS HAS HAPPENED FOUR TIMES IN THE LAST TWO WEEKS. VERY DANGEROUS.
