NHTSA Complaint #11354893 — 2012 FORD EDGE

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK WHEN MY CAR SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND STARTED TO SHAKE. I WAS DRIVING ON A SUBERBAN STREET AND WAS LITERALLY AT A ACTIVE RAILROAD CROSSING WHEN IT HAPPENED. SO I STOPPED THE CAR. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT SLOWLY TO A SAFE PLACE TO PULLOVER. THE CAR WAS SPITTING OUT FIRE CHUNKS OUT OF THE EXHAUST. I HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS HAPPENING. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO EXPLAINED THE POWER TRAIN CONTROL MODULE MALFUNCTIONED WICH CAUSE IT TO MELT/SEIZE THE COILS IN 3 IF THE CYLINDERS. I HAVE A POWER TRAIN WARRANTY BUT WAS TOLD NONE OF IT WOULD BE COVERED? WHEN RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE IT SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL OF VEHICLE. ITS NOT ONLY A SAFETY ISSUE, BUT IT'S A KNOWN DEFECT WITH FORD VEHICLES, NOT JUST MY MAKE AND MODEL. I AM EXTREMELY UPSET BCZ I CAN NOT AFFORD THE COSTS IT WILL TAKE TO REPAIR. I OWNED THIS CAR FOR LESS THAN 2 YEARS. I TAKE IT IT AND HAVE IT ROUTINELY SERVICED. THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD HAVE DONE TO PREVENT THIS. IT'S A DEFECT AND IT IS A UNSAFE DEFECT. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING AND IT JUST HAPPENED OUT OF NOWHERE.
