NHTSA Complaint #11075149 — 2016 FORD EDGE

DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT 80 MPH IN MOTION WHEN THE CAR STARTED TO GO INTO 'LIMP MODE.' THE DASH STATED THERE WAS 'LOW OIL PRESSURE' AND 'CHECK AIRBAGS.' WITHIN THE NEXT THREE SECONDS THE CAR STARTED TO LOSE POWER AND POWER STEERING WAS SHUT OFF. THE CAR STARTED SLOWING DOWN AT A DRAMATIC RATE LEAVING ME STRANDED. AFTER THE CAR KILLED THE ENGINE I WAS NOT ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR. THE CAR WOULD TURN OVER, BUT NOT HOLD POWER IT WOULD DIE IMMEDIATELY. I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO START THE CAR AFTER WAITING 10 MINUTES. THE CAR WOULD START AND HOLD POWER. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND AIRBAG LIGHT WERE ON. I WAS ONLY ABLE TO DRIVE A MILE BEFORE THE PROBLEM WOULD START ALL OVER AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS AVERAGING ABOUT EVERY 2,000 MILES. IT HAS HAPPENED IN BLIZZARD CONDITIONS, RAIN, AND ON A 50 DEGREE DAY. ALSO WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH AND ON A HIGHWAY GOT 55 MPH. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR INTO FORD AND THEY TOLD ME THERE IS NOTHING WRING WITH THE CAR. WHEN PLUGGING THE CAR INTO THE SYSTEM TO LOOK FOR THE PROBLEM THEY STATED NOTHING SHOWS UP, EVEN WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON.
