NHTSA Complaint #11115134 — 2011 FORD EDGE

I TOOK A LEFT TURN TO GET ONTO THE INTERSTATE ON 7/30/18 AT 7:45 AM. WHEN I STARTED TO ACCELERATE TO MERGE ONTO INTERSTATE WITHOUT WARNING MY CAR STALLED AND I WAS NOT ABLE TO ACCELERATE. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER THANKFULLY AND TURN MY EMERGENCY LIGHTS ON. MY CAR STARTED TO "JUMP" AND WAS BASICALLY STALLING OUT. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND THEN AFTER 5 MINUTES I WAS ABLE TO TURN THE CAR BACK ON AND IT RAN FINE. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY KEPT IT FOR TWO DAYS. THEY TRIED TO RECREATE THE ISSUE BUT WERE UNABLE TO AND SAID THEY COULD NOT READ THE ERROR ON THE COMPUTER BECAUSE IT HAD BEEN "WIPED" OUT WHEN I RESTARTED MY CAR. THEY TOLD ME TO COME BACK WHEN THE CAR STALLS AGAIN. I FEEL VERY UNSAFE DRIVING A CAR THAT CAN STALL OUT AND LOSE POWER AT ANY MINUTE. I DRIVE A 24 MILE BRIDGE WITH NO SHOULDERS DAILY AND INTERSTATES. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY SON AROUND IN THIS CAR. FORD WILL NOT DO ANYTHING FOR ME UNTIL THE CAR STALLS AGAIN. THEY TOLD ME NOT TO TURN IT OFF AND "LIMP" IT TO THE DEALERSHIP(DRIVE IT SLOWLY).
