NHTSA Complaint #11122034 — 2013 FORD EDGE

VEHICLE WAS RUNNING FINE AS I PULLED OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY ONTO A STATE HIGHWAY. ONCE I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE THE VEHICLE STARTED SPUTTERING AND ACTED LIKE IT WAS GOING TO DIE. AN ORANGE WRENCH APPEARED ON MY DASH AND SAID "SEE MANUAL". I WAS ABLE TO TURN THE VEHICLE AROUND AND GOING ABOUT 2 MILES AN HOUR MADE IT BACK INTO MY DRIVEWAY...IT CONTINUED SPUTTERING AND KNOCKING TILL I PARKED IT. ONCE PARKED THE VEHICLE IDLED FINE BUT IF I WOULD PUT IT BACK INTO GEAR IT WOULD START THE SPUTTERING/DYING PROCESS AGAIN. THIS IS THE 2ND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING. THE FIRST TIME I FILED A COMPLAINT AS WELL BECAUSE THE FORD DEALERSHIP COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND THERE WASN'T AN ERROR CODE. THE FIRST TIME I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH WITH THE CRUISE ON AND IT COMPLETELY CUT OUT AND I HAD TO MANEUVER MY WAY TO THE SHOULDER. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND IT SEEMED TO RESET IT. AGAIN THE DEALERSHIP COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG OR DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, EVEN THOUGH THEY SAID PROBLEMS LIKE THIS HAD BEEN REPORTED BY OTHER FORD EDGE OWNERS.
