NHTSA Complaint #11166787 — 2009 FORD EDGE

I WAS SLOWLY DRIVING THROUGH A NEIGHBORHOOD WHEN I COULD NO LONGER ACCELERATE WHEN MY VEHICLE WAS IN DRIVE. I EVENTUALLY CAME TO A STOP. THE TRANSMISSION WAS NOT ENGAGING. I KEPT TRYING TO ACCELERATE BUT I WAS UNABLE TO GO ANYWHERE. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK, THEN BACK TO DRIVE AND IT STILL DID NOT WORK. I THEN RESORTED TO TURNING OFF THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON. AT THAT POINT THE VEHICLE DID OPERATE AS USUAL. SINCE IT HAPPENED I HAVE READ COUNTLESS REPORTS OF THIS SAME ISSUE IN THIS VEHICLE WITH MANY COMPLAINTS. THIS IS A POTENTIALLY DEADLY ERROR FROM FORD AND THEIR TRANSMISSIONS IN THIS VEHICLE. I BELIEVE IT IS RELATED TO THE SENSORS ON THE TRANSMISSION. A RECALL NEEDS TO BE ISSUED IMMEDIATELY BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE THEIR CAR COMES TO A TOTAL STOP ON A BUSY INTERSTATE. FORD KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND HAS NOT ADDRESSED IT.
