NHTSA Complaint #11372738 — 2017 FORD EDGE

I WAS TURNING LEFT FROM A STOP SIGN ACROSS TWO LANES OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. WHEN I WAS CLEAR I PRESSED THE GAS AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO MOVE. PRIOR TO CLEARING THE TWO LANES OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND WOULD NOT RESTART. THIS LEFT ME SITTING IN THE MIDDLE OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND UNABLE TO GET OUT OF THE WAY. I WAS NOT HIT THANKFULLY BUT THIS COULD BE A SERIOUS ISSUE IN ANOTHER SITUATION. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES WITH THE CAR STALLING BUT THIS IS THE FIRST TIME WHERE THE SITUATION LEFT ME IN DANGER. THIS STALLING IS DUE TO A MISFIRING CYLINDER BECAUSE ENGINE COOLANT IS LEAKING INTO THE ENGINE. FORD HAS STATED THAT THE LONG BLOCK NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND THAT IT WOULD COST APPROXIMATELY $9,000. AS THE PROBLEM OCCURRED RIGHT AFTER THE 60,000 MILE WARRANTY ENDED, THEY REFUSE TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE DESPITE THE ISSUE BEING A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. SOONER OR LATER SOMEONE WILL BE HURT OR POSSIBLY KILLED BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. IS IT GOING TO TAKE SOMEONE DYING TO GET A JUSTIFIABLE RECALL ISSUED FOR THIS PROBLEM?
