Consumer Description
I have on my car for about a year now and when I first received it about a month into it I noticed this first issue. I would be driving and all the sudden I would loose acceleration. All dash lights that could come on did. This includes BLIS system failure. Transmission failure. Engine coolant temp failure. Traction control failure. Etc etc. The vehicle enters a limp mode I believe, and in doing so it very harshly shifts down through the transmission gears as I am slowing down. This happened a second time a month after the first incident as I was entering a highway between a bridge where I only had half my car width of space to pull over on both sides. In a blind bend, in a very dangerous place to pull over. I switched to 93 octane in hopes this would fix the issue, and for 6-8 months I haven't had that issue again. Until yesterday. I went to try to pass somebody in a passing zone when my vehicle did exactly as listed above. At this point I firmly believe it has something to do with the ECU, the brains of the car as I think this is the only thing that can tie all the errors together (itβs literally every warning I can think of). Ive taken it to Ford twice now for this issue, and will be inquiring about this again when I get my inspection on Saturday. They stated there is absolutely no data that points them anywhere when they check the stored codes. Even though there was a check engine light. This even further leads me to believe its an ECU issue, as it maybe errors out and is unable to store any codes. Over all its a serious safety issue that no ford dealer is able to diagnose for me. Googling leads me to the FordEdgeForum where other people are experiencing the same issue but without a full solution as its such an intermediate problem and cannot be easily duplicated.
