NHTSA Complaint #11390253 — 2013 FORD EDGE

HAD TO HAVE TRANSMISSION REPLACED AT 48,000 MILES. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND ALL OF A SUDDEN IT JUST SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. I WAS ON A CITY STREET DRIVING ABOUT 40 MPH. I HAD TO CALL THE LOCAL POLICE DEPARTMENT TO HAVE THEM COME PARK BEHIND THE CAR BECAUSE MULTIPLE PEOPLE ALMOST HIT ME WHILE STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. OIL PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON FOR A SINGLE SPLIT SECOND THEN WENT OFF. RIGHT AFTER THE TRANSMISSION GAVE OUT AND ENGINE SHUT OFF AS A WAY TO PROTECT THE MOTOR. I WAS ALMOST HIT BY SEVERAL PEOPLE. I STARTED THE CAR AGAIN AND IT IDLED FINE. AS SOON AS I SHIFTED INTO DRIVE IT SHUT OFF AGAIN. THIS COULD HAVE GOTTEN ME AND MY GF SERIOUSLY INJURED. REAR CROSS TRAFFIC WARNING SIGNALS GO OFF WHEN NOTHING IS AROUND. IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME AND IS SUPER ANNOYING.
