NHTSA Complaint #11063376 — 2012 FORD EDGE

AFTER PULLING OUT IN TRAFFIC ON 1/15/18, GOING ABOUT 50 MPH, MY 2012 FORD EDGE SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND THE WRENCH WARNING LIGHT APPEARED. I HAD TO SHUT THE CAR DOWN AND RESTART IT SEVERAL TIMES TO SLOWLY GET IT OUT OF TRAFFIC - EACH TIME THE WRENCH WARNING LIGHT APPEARED AND THE VEHICLE LOST POWER. FINALLY, AFTER GETTING OUT OF TRAFFIC I SHUT IT DOWN AND LET IT SIT FOR A FEW MINUTES, RESTARTED IT AND THIS TIME THE AWD WARNING LIGHT APPEARED BUT MY CAR IS NOT AN AWD VEHICLE. THEN THE WRENCH LIGHT APPEARED AGAIN. HAD IT TOWED TO THE LOCAL DEALER. THEY COULDN'T FIND ANY COMPUTER MEMORY RECORD OF WHAT HAPPENED AND HAD THEIR TECHNICIAN DRIVE IT HOME TO SEE IF THE PROBLEM DUPLICATED ITSELF. IT DID NOT. AFTER 3 DAYS AT THE DEALERSHIP THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE AND I PICKED IT UP AND DROVE IT HOME. I SHOULD ADD THAT MY VEHICLE HAS ONLY 26,000 MILES ON IT. IN READING THESE COMPLAINTS MINE IS NOT THE ONLY COMPLAINT ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND FORD NEEDS TO FIGURE OUT AND REPAIR THOSE VEHICLES AFFECTED BY THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE!
