2011 FORD EDGE Engine Problems

ABOUT 2-3 WEEKS AGO, WHILE DRIVING IN THE OUTER BANKS, NC, I HAD A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER IN THE VEHICLE AND AN YELLOW WRENCH SIGN CAME. LUCKILY, I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD AND SHUT THE CAR OFF. ONCE RESTARTED, IT WORKED OK. I WENT TO CAVALIER FORD DEALER AT PORTSMOUTH, VA AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. SINCE THERE WAS NO RECALL OR MENTION OF THIS PROBLEM FROM FORD, I WAS TOLD NOT TO WORRY ABOUT IT. TODAY, WHILE DRIVING WITH MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER, I HAD COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER WITH THE YELLOW WRENCH SIGN AGAIN. I HAD TO PULL ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH HAZARD LIGHTS ON. AGAIN, WE WERE LUCKY THAT WE DID NOT GET HIT. WHEN RESTARTED, I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE BACK HOME AND TAKE MY WIFE'S CAR. I AM TAKING THE FORD EDGE TO THE DEALER...

VEHICLE LOST POWER WHILE ENTERING FREEWAY. WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON, ENGINE WAS SHUDDERING BALDY. ENGINE HAD JUST BEEN STARTED AFTER SITTING FOR 90 MINUTES. HAD TO LIMP ACROSS TWO LANES OF TRAFFIC TO GET TO THE MEDIAN. ENGINE HAD TO BE SHUT DOWN AND RESTARTED AFTER TWO MINUTES. COULD HAVE CAUSED A BAD COLLISION.I DO NOT TRUST THIS CAR. IT IS DANGEROUS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE AWD AND CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER TO THE EMERGENCY LANE. THE CONTACT SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE AND WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE ENGINE, BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 33,800.

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ON A SURFACE STREET WITH OUR INFANT BOYS IN THE BACK SEAT. WITHOUT WARNING, THE 2011 FORD EDGE LOST ALL POWER AND THE ENGINE VIBRATED INTENSELY. IT COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS COLLISION. SHE RESTARTED THE CAR AND TRIED TO MAKE IT HOME SAFELY AND SLOWLY. IT HAPPENED AGAIN ON THE WAY. THE NEXT DAY (7/20/15), WHEN WE DROVE THE SUV TO THE DEALERSHIP, IT HAPPENED A 3RD TIME. GALPIN FORD (N HILLS, CA) DIAGNOSED IT WITH A FAULTY THROTTLE BODY, NOT COVERED BY OUR 7-YEAR POWERTRAIN LIMITED WARRANTY. THIS IS A CERTIFIED PREOWNED FORD EDGE THAT WE PURCHASED A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AGO. THROTTLE BODIES SHOULD NOT FAIL WITH 45K MILES ON THE CAR. AND, IT SHOULD BE COVERED BY THE WARRANTY, OR BETTER YET...IT SHOULD BE A RECALL. THE LOSS OF POWER IS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM THAT FORD SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR. *TR

CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED 2011 FORD EDGE LIMITED AWD. PURCHASED IN NOV. 2014. ON MONDAY, JUNE 8, 2015 AS I WAS DRIVING AT 55 MPH, A LIGHT CAME ON ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE LIGHT SAID "AWD OFF" AND HAD A LITTLE WRENCH SYMBOL ON IT. THE CAR ABRUPTLY LOST POWER AND I JUST COASTED OUT OF THE WAY OF TRAFFIC AND ONTO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BECAUSE THERE WAS NO SHOULDER. I TRIED TO PRESS THE GAS PEDAL BUT NOTHING HAPPENED--THERE WAS NO ACCELERATION. MY VEHICLE ESSENTIALLY "DIED" WITHOUT WARNING IN TRAFFIC. WEATHER CONDITIONS WERE SUNNY ABOUT 85 DEGREES. THE RADIO AND AC WORKED, BUT THE GAS PEDAL DID NOT. THE VEHICLE SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS GOING TO STALL OUT AND WAS SPUTTERING AS I COASTED. I PUT THE VEHICLE IN "PARK" AND TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF. I WAITED SEVERAL MINUTES AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE....

THE FIRST TIME THE PROBLEM OCCURRED I WAS DRIVING DOWN A STREET AND HAD SLOWED TO MAKE A LEFT TURN INTO A RETAIL ESTABLISHMENT. JUST AS I MADE THE TURN THE VEHICLE SHUDDERED SLIGHTLY AND IMMEDIATELY LOST FORWARD MOMENTUM - IT WAS LIKE THE VEHICLE WAS IN NEUTRAL - I HAD NO ACCELERATION. A WRENCH APPEARED ON MY DRIVER'S DISPLAY. I WAS ABLE TO PULL TO A STOP AND I SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF. AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES I ATTEMPTED TO START THE VEHICLE. IT TOOK SEVERAL SECONDS LONGER THAN NORMAL FOR THE VEHICLE TO START BUT IT DID. THE SECOND OCCURRENCE HAPPENED IN MY WORK PARKING LOT. I HAD BACKED MY VEHICLE OUT OF MY PARKING PLACE AND JUST AS I STARTED TO ACCELERATE THE VEHICLE SHUDDERED SLIGHTLY AND I AGAIN LOST ANY ACCELERATION. I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTED IMMEDIATELY. AGAIN, IT LOOK SLIGHTLY LONGER THAN NORMAL FOR...

OUR FAMILY WAS DRIVING ON A HEAVILY TRAVELED BRIDGE AT 40MPH AND THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY LOST ALL POWER AND IDLED ROUGHLY, FORCING US TO TRAVEL ON THE BRIDGE AT JUST A FEW MILES AN HOUR WITH OUR FOUR-WAY FLASHERS ON UNTIL WE REACHED THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. A WRENCH APPEARED ON THE COMPUTER SCREEN WITH THE MESSAGE AWD OFF. MY HUSBAND TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND THEN BACK ON AND IT RAN FINE UNTIL WE DROVE IT AGAIN AND SAME THING HAPPENED. WE ARE FEARFUL FOR OUR SAFETY AND BEG FORD TO RECALL. I VISITED SEVERAL WEBSITES AND SAW WAY TOO MANY CONSUMERS WITH THIS SAME SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. WE ARE GOING TO GET IT EVALUATED BY A MECHANIC TOMORROW AND PRAY THAT WE ARE ABLE TO SAFELY DRIVE IT TO THE GARAGE.

CAR STALLED TWICE. PREVIOUS COMPLAINT FILED BUT I CALLED AFTER FINDING RECALL NUMBER 10S14. CLALED FORD AND THEY TOLD ME NOT COVERING MY VIN EVEN THOUGH SITUATION IS THE EXACT SAME HAPPENINGS. YOUR REP TOLD ME TO FILE A NEW COMPLAINT BECASUE HE COUD NOT UPDATE THE ONE PREVIOUSLY SUBMITTED; ODI NUMBER 10715241. HE STATED THAT THEY WOULD INVESTIAGE AND PSOSSIBLE ADD MY VIN TO BE COVERED UNDER THIS RECALL.

CAR STALLED THREE TIMES. POWER WENT OFF AND I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED. TOLD IT'S THE THROTTLE ACCUATOR STUCK OPEN. ERROR 2111, PICTURE OF WRENCH AND NOW ENGINE LIGHT ON. EVEN THOUGH I FOUND THIS ON YOUR WEBSITE FIRD REFUSED TO COVER. MAY OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS ON ALL SOCIAL MEDIA SITES. FORD GAVE ME CASE NUMBER [XXX]. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

ON APRIL 11, 2015, THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY ON THE ENGINE OF MY 2011 FORD EDGE FAILED WHILE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AT HIGHWAY SPEED ON A 6-LANE HIGHWAY. I WAS TRAVELING IN THE INSIDE LANE WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THERE WAS NO POWER TO THE ENGINE, AND I COASTED QUICKLY ACROSS 2 LANES TO A RIGHT TURN LANE. FORTUNATELY, EVERYONE REACTED POSITIVELY TO MY EMERGENCY FLASHERS AS I DECELERATED. ON MONDAY, APRIL 13, THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP REPAIRED THE CAR. AFTER RETURNING HOME, I CHECKED THE INTERNET FOR INFORMATION ON THIS FAILURE MODE AND WAS SURPRISED TO READ THAT FORD HAD A COUPLE YEARS EARLIER SETTLED A NHTSA COMPLAINT FOR SEVERAL FORD MODELS THAT EXHIBITED THE PROBLEM MY CAR EXPERIENCED. THE FORD EDGE WAS NOT PART OF THE SETTLEMENT. FURTHER RESEARCH REVEALED OTHER FORD EDGES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AS MINE. APPARENTLY, FORD WON A PARTIAL SETTLEMENT ON THE THROTTLE...

I WAS DRIVING MY 2011 FORD EDGE ON A BUSY ROAD AND LOST ALL ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. THE ENGINE JERKED, THEN STARTED SHAKING, WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON THE DASH BOARD. I WOULD PUSH THE PEDAL AND NOTHING WOULD HAPPEN. HAD TO ROLL ALONG WITH FLASHERS ON UNTIL I REACHED A PARKING LOT ENTRY TO PULL INTO, AS THERE WAS NO SHOULDER ON THE ROAD I WAS ON. MEANWHILE, CARS WERE SPEEDING UP BEHIND ME AND PASSING MY CAR INTO ON COMING TRAFFIC TO AVOID COLLIDING WITH ME. ONCE IN THE PARKING LOT, I TURNED OFF THE CAR, AND IMMEDIATELY TURNED IT BACK ON (LESS THAN TWO SECONDS LATER), AND EVERYTHING WAS BACK TO NORMAL. TOOK THE VEHICLE DIRECTLY TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD BY THEIR SERVICE TECHNICIAN THAT I NEEDED A NEW THROTTLE BODY AND WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY (VEHICLE HAD 57,000 MILES). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2011 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH INTO THE DRIVEWAY, THERE WAS SMOKE AND FLAMES ERUPTING UNDERNEATH THE HOOD. IN ADDITION, THERE WAS SMOKE IN THE CABIN. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. A POLICE AND A FIRE REPORT WERE FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000. ...UPDATED 04/08/15 *BF

I WAS DRIVING VEHICLE UP A SLIGHT GRADE AT 30MPH. ENGINE POWER SUDDENLY DROPPED TO AN IDLE RPM. IT FELT LIKE IT WAS RUNNING ON 1 CYLINDER AND VERY ROUGH. I WAS ABLE TO "CREEP" THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF ROAD. PRESSING ON THE ACCELERATOR IN NEUTRAL OR DRIVE HAD NO EFFECT. A "WRENCH" WARNING ICON APPEARED ON THE INDICATOR PANEL. SHUTTING OFF AND RESTARTING THE CAR ALLOWED US TO DRIVE HOME. THIS OCCURRED TWO TIMES WITHIN 2 MILES. THE CAR WILL BE TAKEN TO THE DEALER TODAY FOR REPAIRS. THIS SAME SCENARIO (LESS THAN 270 MILES PRIOR) OCCURRED AS MY WIFE ACCELERATED AWAY FROM OUR HOME 3 WEEKS PRIOR. THE OWNERS MANUAL INDICATED IT WAS AN AWD ISSUE. MY CAR DOES NOT HAVE THAT FEATURE.THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO INDICATED IT WAS A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM COVERED BY A SERVICE BULLETIN AND REPROGRAMMED THE TRANSMISSION COMPUTER....

I WAS DRIVING AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE VEHICLE STARTED IDLING HIGH AND SPUTTERING. THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE ENGINE JUST SHUT OFF. LUCKILY THERE WAS NO ONE BEHIND ME. I COULD HAVE BEEN REAR-ENDED. THIS IS THIRD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I TOOK IT TO FORD AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NO CODE TO TELL THEM WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT. THEY REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY SENSOR AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS GONE, BUT A FEW HOURS LATER IT CAME BACK ON AND IT STALLED ON ME AGAIN. I WASTED A COUPLE OF HUNDRED DOLLARS TO END UP RIGHT BACK WHERE I WAS BEFORE WITH A VERY UNSAFE VEHICLE. IF I COULD AFFORD TO GET ANOTHER VEHICLE, I WOULD. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURED OR KILLED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. NO REPAIRS WERE MADE TO THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 53,435.

BASE MODEL: IN FIRST WEEK OF AUGUST 2014, IT EXPERIENCED SUDDEN LOSS OF SPEED AND SEVERE VIBRATION WHILE DRIVING ON MAJOR THOUROUGHFARE STREET. IT WAS UNABLE TO BE DRIVEN AND COULD NOT BE MOVED OUT OF THE WAY. THE "WRENCH" SIGN CAME UP. AFTER TURNING IT OFF AND WAITING FOR ABOUT A 2-3 MINS, IT DID START LIKE NORMAL. WE BROUGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP THE SAME DAY. FIRST WE WERE TOLD THAT IT JUST NEEDS COMPUTER RESET AND WOULD COST $75, THEN THEY ULTIMATELY DID IT FOR FREE, WHILE PERFORMING 30K MILES SERVICES SAME DAY. THREE MONTH LATER I STARTED EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE AGAIN. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD TO BRING IT IN. I DID NOT HAVE TIME FOR ABOUT A WEEK DUE TO TIGHT WORK SCHEDULE, BUT DURING THAT WEEK IT KEPT OCCURRING AGAIN, HAPPENED 3-4 TIMES. FINALLY WHEN IT WENT FOR SERVICE AT THE DEALERSHIP,...

DURING DRIVING MY 2011 FORD EDGE THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE STALL OCCURRED AT AN APPROXIMATE DRIVING SPEED OF 30 MPH IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROADWAY. A LIGHT DEPICTING A WRENCH SHOWN ON THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DISPLAY ALONG WITH A MESSAGE TO CONSULT MANUAL. AT THE TIME THIS HAPPENED, I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND RESTARTED IT TO SEE IF I COULD GET IT GOING AGAIN BEFORE I GOT HIT BY A CAR. THE CAR DID START AND THEN DROVE NORMALLY. I LOOKED IN THE MANUAL AND FOUND THE WRENCH ICON TO INDICATE A POWERTRAIN DEFECT. SINCE THIS WAS A DRIVING HAZARD, I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE ONBOARD COMPUTER WAS ACCESSED AND THE CODE C-P2111 WAS DIAGNOSED. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS A DEFECTIVE THROTTLE BODY AND THAT IT WOULD BE REPLACED. A NEW PART WAS INSTALLED AND I HAVE DRIVEN THE CAR APPROXIMATELY...

CAR ALMOST SHUTS DOWN, YOU CAN DRIVE IT AT 1 MPH OR RESTART & IT WORKS FINE. ENGINE LIGHT DOES COME ON. HAD IT TOWED TO DEALERSHIP & THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. WE ARE BOTH HANDICAP, IT'S ARE ONLY CAR & SHUTS OFF DAILY. DEALERSHIP CAN NOT DO ANYTHING UNLESS WE BRING IT, TAKE A MECHANIC WITH US & IT HAPPENS WHILE HE IS IN THE CAR!! *TR

ENGINE STALL, LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT COMES ON AND LOOSE STEERING CONTROL AND BRAKES.....VERY UNSAFE AND DANGEROUS!! I AM VERY UNSATISFIED WITH FORD RIGHT NOW. I HAVE SEVERAL ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE RIGHT NOW AND AM NOT HAPPY!!!! *TR

WHILE DRIVING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION, VEHICLES STALLED. "AWD FAIL" LIGHT EXHIBITED. TURNED OFF IGNITION AND RESTARTED. SECOND EVENT, SAME CIRCUMSTANCES, AGAIN HAD TO COAST TO SIDE OF INTERSECTION TO RESTART. SAME INDICATIONS. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP AND DIAGNOSED AS THROTTLE BODY FAILURE. HAD TO BE REPLACED. CONCERNS: (1) SAFETY (2) THROTTLE BODY SHOULD NOT BE FAILING WITH THIS FEW MILES (3) FORD FORUM INDICATES THAT THIS IS A RECURRING ISSUE WITH OTHER FORD EDGE VEHICLES. BUT THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL OR EXTENDED WARRANTY. *TR

THE CAR LOST POWER. WHEN I TURNED IT OFF AND TURNED IT BACK ON, IT STARTED AND RAN FINE. IT HAPPENED AGAIN AND I TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP. THE QUICK SERVICE TECHNICIAN SAID IT SOUNDED LIKE THE THROTTLE BODY. IT HAS HAPPENED A COUPLE OF OTHER TIMES SPORADICALLY. IT HAPPENED 4 TIMES THIS PAST SATURDAY. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND JUST FOUND OUT IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY, WHICH WILL BE REPLACED FOR $622.59. MY CAR IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY AND THERE ARE NO RECALLS FOR THIS THAT THE DEALERSHIP CAN FIND. THOUGH REPAIR PAL INDICATES THERE WAS A RECALL (HTTPS://REPAIRPAL.COM/FORD-EDGE-RECALL-10V659000) AND THE NORTH CAROLINA CONSUMER COUNCIL HAS FILED A PETITION FOR AN INVESTIGATION INTO THIS MATTER. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS AS IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS FOR YOUR CAR TO JUST COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN ON YOU WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING. FORTUNATELY, NO ONE HAS BEEN...

DRIVING ON MAJOR HIGHWAY, 55 MPH, ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR JERKS, SLOWS DOWN AND I CANNOT CONTROL THE ACCELERATION. I HAVE TO QUICKLY PULL OVER ONTO GRASSY AREA OUT OF THE WAY OF TRAFFIC. THE AWD SIGNAL CAME ON AND A WRENCH SIGNAL. I QUICKLY TURNED CAR OFF AND RESTARTED AND IT WAS FINE. THIS HAPPENED OVER A MONTH AGO AND DID NOT HAPPEN AGAIN UNTIL YESTERDAY AND THEN AGAIN THIS MORNING. ALL 3 TIMES MY 2 YEAR OLD HAS BEEN WITH ME AND I HAVE BEEN ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY. THIS COULD HAVE HAD DIRE CONSEQUENCES. THE CAR SLOWS DOWN SO QUICKLY THAT IF ANYONE WAS CLOSELY BEHIND ME THEY CERTAINLY WOULD HAVE REAR-ENDED ME. LOOKING ONLINE THIS SEEMS TO BE QUITE THE ISSUE, YET THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL?? THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE! *TR

WHILE MERGING ONTO FREEWAY SUDDENLY LOST ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. WRENCH ICON CAME ON DASH DISPLAY. WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY. TURNED CAR OFF, TURNED BACK ON AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR NORMALLY AGAIN. I AM HOPING THERE IS A FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM AS IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

I WAS DRIVING 25 MILES PER HOUR ON A MAJOR ROADWAY AND FOR NO REASON THE CAR LOST ACCELERATION. THE ENGINE BEGAN TO SHAKE AND GASP. AFTER I LOST POWER TO THE ENGINE I COULD ONLY DRIVE ONE MILE AN HOUR TO TRY TO GET OFF THE ROAD IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. I DID NOT GET IN AN ACCIDENT BUT IT COULD HAVE EASILY HAPPENED. A YELLOW WARNING WRENCH ICON APPEARED. I TURNED OFF THE CAR. I RESTARTED THE CAR AND THE PROBLEM RESOLVED. I TOOK IT TO A REPAIR SHOP AND THEY CLEANED THE THROTTLE BODY BECAUSE NO ERROR CODES WERE FOUND AND IT WAS DIRTY. IT HAPPENED AGAIN ONE WEEK LATER WHEN I WAS TRAVELING 50 MILES PER HOUR. I TRIED TO DRIVE TO A DEALERSHIP TO KEEP THE WRENCH ICON ON BUT THE CAR STALLED. I RESTARTED AND THE PROBLEM RESOLVED BUT I CONTINUED TO A FORD DEALERSHIP....

WAS AT A LIGHT MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN SEEMED TO HAVE LOST POWER. ENGINE WAS ON BUT STEPPED ON GAS AND VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO. ALMOST GOT HIT BY ON COMING CAR. THIS HAPPENED A COUPLE OF TIMES BUT HAS NOT DONE IT IN A WHILE. VERY DANGEROUS! *TR

I BEGAN TO ACCELERATE AT A INTERSECTION WHEN MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT WARNING LOST POWER TO THE WHEELS. THE ENGINE REMAINED ON BUT BEGAN TO SPUTTER. A YELLOW WRENCH APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD SAYING THAT THE AWD HAD TURNED OFF. I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF AND IT RESTARTED WITH SOME DIFFICULTY. A FEW DAYS LATER THE SAME ISSUE OCCURRED AGAIN BUT NOW WONT RUN MORE THAN A FEW HUNDRED YARDS WITHOUT RECURRING. *TR

I HAD JUST PURCHASED MY 2011 FORD EDGE SEL DRIVING IT FOR THE FIRST TIME AFTER DRIVING IT HOME. I WAS DRIVING ON A TWO LANE HWY WHEN I LOST POWER, A WARNING CAME UP ON THE DASH AWD OFF WITH THE LITTLE TOOL BESIDE IT. I HAD TO COAST OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND THANKFULLY THERE WAS A PLACE TO PULL OVER. I WAITED A FEW MINUTES THEN RESTARTED THE CAR AND IT DROVE FINE UNTIL 1 WEEK LATER WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE IT DID THE EXACT SAME THING, THE CAR SHUT DOWN AGAIN. I DID MAKE IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD THIS TIME IT DID NOT WANT TO START SO I WAITED ALITTLE LONGER AND TRIED AGAIN AND IT DID START BACK UP. I PULLED OUT AND LESS THAN 1/2 MILE DOWN THE ROAD IT SHUT DOWN AGAIN. I MANAGED...

WHEN DRIVING MY FORD EDGE DOWN THE HIGHWAY, IT SUDDENLY LOSES POWER AND HAVE TO PULL OFF ROAD. HAS HAPPENED 3X SO TOOK TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY WANT $900 TO FIX! REALLY CAN'T BELIEVE A THROTTLE BODY GOES OUT AFTER 3 YEARS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, THE SERVICE ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SHOOK AND VIBRATED VIOLENTLY. THE VEHICLE OPERATED NORMALLY ONCE IT WAS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,600.

WAS DRIVING IN BUSY RESIDENTIAL AREA AND THE CAR STARTED TO SHUDDER AND EVENTUALLY LOST ALL POWER TO THE ENGINE AND THE DASHBOARD DISPLAYED A WRENCH SYMBOL. IT SEEMED LIKE IT WAS GOING TO STALL. I WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I THEN TURNED THE ENGINE OFF AND UPON RESTARTING WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE SHORT DISTANCE TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER PERFORMED A PCM REPROGRAM. PER THE DIAGNOSTIC NOTES, AFTER GETTING A CODE OF P260F THEY REPROGRAMMED THE CAR TO THE LATEST CALIBRATION, TEST DROVE IT (APPROX 9 MILES) AND NO SIGN OF THE PROBLEM. I PICKED THE CAR UP ON FRIDAY, SEPT 5. TODAY, SEPT 7, 2014, JUST 2 DAYS AFTER "FIXING" THE PROBLEM, THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED. SIMILAR SPEED, CAR STARTED TO SHAKE AND UNRESPONSIVE TO ACCELERATOR. FORTUNATELY, I WAS AT NEARLY THE SAME LOCATION SO I WAS ABLE TO GET...

WHILE DRIVING MY 2011 FORD EDGE WITH 59K MILES THE ENGINE CUT OUT ON ME. AFTER PULLING TO THE SHOULDER AND SHUTTING OFF THE CAR IT RESTARTED AFTER A FEW MINUTES. THIS HAPPENED ON 3 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER. AFTER TWO DAYS THEY WERE ABLE TO TELL ME IT WAS A FAULTY THROTTLE BODY AND NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. HOW CAN THERE BE RECALLS FOR OTHER FORD MODELS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM BUT NOT FOR THE EDGE? RIDICULOUS AND COMPLETELY UNSAFE!!!! *TR

I AM A 55 YEAR OLD WOMAN AND JULY 27, 2014 HEADED FOR ST. LOUIS TO THE AIRPORT. ABOUT 35 MINUTES INTO MY TRIP, ON A VERY RURAL MISSOURI HIGHWAY, MY CAR HAD NO POWER ACCELERATING AND THE "WRENCH LIGHT" CAME ON. LUCKILY, A CHURCH PARKING LOT WAS NEAR, SO I COASTED THERE AND SHUT OFF THE CAR. I STARTED IT, IT WAS RUNNING OK AND THE LIGHT WENT OFF. I MADE THE REST OF MY TRIP. WHEN I GOT BACK HOME, I LEFT THE NEXT DAY ON AUGUST 6TH TO HEAD TO AURORA, MO TO HELP MY DAUGHTER. ABOUT 1 1/2 HOURS INTO MY TRIP, THE CAR DID EXACTLY THE SAME THING. NO POWER, WRENCH LIGHT ON. I WAS SO NERVOUS SINCE I WAS ON INTERSTATE 44 WITH HEAVY TRAFFIC. I GOT OFF THE INTERSTATE AND RESTARTED THE CAR AND MADE IT TO AURORA. I TOOK MY CAR TO...

TRAVELING DOWN ROAD. CAR JUMPS AND SEE MANUAL COMES ON. IDLES FUNNY AND WILL GO NO FURTHER UNTIL YOU SHUT IT OFF AND BACK ON. TOOK IT TO DEALER. SAY THEY HAD NO IDEA. DONE IT 10 TIMES YESTERDAY IN 6 MILES. AM FED UP. GOING TO END UP IN A WRECK!! *TR

THIS IS MY 2ND COMPLAINT ABOUT THIS SAME DEFECT AS IT HAS OCCURRED 2 ADDITIONAL TIMES (3 TOTAL INCIDENTS). THE 1ST INCIDENT OCCURRED ON 4/11. THE 2ND INCIDENT OCCURRED ON 6/2 WHEN MY WIFE WAS TURNING RIGHT FROM AN INTERSECTION. AT APPROXIMATELY 20MPH SHE LOST THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE AND HAD TO QUICKLY CHANGE LANES AND COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHILE AVOIDING TRAFFIC. SHE PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF. ONCE SHE TURNED THE CAR BACK ON, THE CAR OPERATED NORMALLY. THE 3RD INCIDENT OCCURRED ON 6/3. MY WIFE ACCELERATED FROM A RED LIGHT INTO AN INTERSECTION AND LOST THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. SHE WAS STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION WITH CARS SWERVING AROUND HER. SHE AGAIN STOPPED HER CAR FROM COASTING, PUT IT IN PARK, AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. SHE RESTARTED THE CAR AND IT OPERATED NORMALLY. I...

WHEN DRIVING ON A 2 LANE MOUNTAIN ROAD AT 60, ENGINE FULLY WARMED UP (RUNNING FOR 20+ MINUTES, AMBIENT TEMPERATURE APPROX 85 F) THE THROTTLE BECOME UNRESPONSIVE AND THE ENGINE RPM DROPPED TO APPROXIMATELY 600 RPM BASED ON THE DASH TACHOMETER. WHEN THIS HAPPENED A YELLOW WRENCH DIALOG WAS DISPLAYED ON THE DIGITAL DASH WITH NO TEXT OTHER THAN "OK". ALL CONTROLS OTHER THAN THE THROTTLE SEEMED TO FUNCTION CORRECTLY. WE WERE GOING DOWNHILL WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND WERE ABLE TO COAST UNTIL WE FOUND A SUITABLE PLACE TO PULL OVER. ONCE WE PULLED OVER WE NOTICED THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING ROUGH AND SPUTTERING. WE TURNED THE ENGINE OFF AND THEN BACK ON AND THE ISSUE PERSISTED (ROUGH IDLING AND NO THROTTLE CONTROL). OPENED HOOD AND PULLED ENGINE COVER TO CHECK FOR ANY VISIBLE ISSUES, NONE FOUND. WHEN WE GOT BACK INTO THE CAR THE THROTTLE WAS FUNCTIONING PROPERLY AND...

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK DURING RUSH HOUR AND TWICE ON THE SAME TRIP THE ENGINE SHUTTERED THEN COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. THE FIRST TIME, LUCKILY, SHE WAS ABLE TO COAST ACROSS FOUR LANES OF TRAFFIC TO THE SHOULDER BECAUSE THIS HAPPENED WHERE TWO INTERSTATES MERGE AND THE IS NOT A SHOULDER ON THE LEFT. WE TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY. THE DEALER STATED IT WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND HAS BEEN RECALLED ON OTHER MODELS BUT NOT THE EDGE. I CALLED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE AND I GOT THE IMPRESSION THEY DID NOT CARE ABOUT THE ISSUE OR THE SAFETY OF THE PEOPLE DRIVING THEIR VEHICLES. BECAUSE OF THIS WE TRADED OUR VEHICLE AT A LOSS WITHIN A WEEK OF SPENDING $700 TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY. *TR

WHILE DRIVING DOWN A 4-LANE EXPRESSWAY, MY 2011 FORD EDGE ACCELERATOR PEDAL STOPPED RESPONDING. THE CAR DID NOT LOSE ALL POWER, THE ACCELERATOR JUST WENT DEAD. THE CAR WAS IDLING VERY ROUGHLY, BUT WHEN I PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL NOTHING HAPPENED. THERE WAS NO SHOULDER ON THE ROAD SO I HAD TO STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD! I AM SO LUCKY THAT NO ONE REAR-ENDED ME BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER OFF THE ROAD. I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND WAITED A MINUTE OR TWO AND TURNED THE CAR BACK ON. THE ACCELERATOR WAS WORKING SO I HEADED HOME. THE CAR WENT "LIMP" TWO MORE TIMES BEFORE I ARRIVED HOME A COUPLE OF MILES DOWN THE ROAD. THE NEXT DAY MY HUSBAND FOLLOWED ME TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH HIS EMERGENCY FLASHERS ON. MY EDGE WENT "LIMP" TWICE ON THE WAY TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE MECHANIC WAS...

I WAS DRIVING WHEN I LOST ACCELERATION. A WRENCH LIGHT CAME UP ON MY SCREEN. THANKFULLY MY BRAKES STILL WORKED AND I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO A STOP, ALMOST GETTING REAR ENDED BY A SEMI, BUT THEN THE WHOLE MOTOR STARTED SHAKING AND SPUTTERING. I PUT MY VEHICLE IN PARK AND TURNED IT OFF. WHEN I WENT TO TURN IT BACK ON IT HESITATED FOR A MINUTE, BUT THEN STARTED. THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN AGAIN UNTIL A FEW WEEKS LATER WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 60MPH! I'VE HAD IT HAPPEN MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE THEN AND ALMOST BEING HIT A FEW OTHER TIMES. I'VE NOTICED THAT I DON'T HAVE AS MUCH POWER WHEN ACCELERATING EVEN WHEN THE WRENCH DOESN'T COME UP. TODAY IT HAPPENED TWICE WITHIN A COUPLE OF MINUTES AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON THIS TIME. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THEY WON'T HAVE A RECALL WHEN SO MANY...

COMING OFF OF LAKESHORE DRIVE WITH MY 4 MONTH OLD SON IN THE BACK CAR SEAT AND THE TRUCK JUST GOES LIMP WITH NO POWER. IT DROVE REALLY SLOW AND SO I PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE TURNED OFF THE TRUCK RESTARTED AND SEEMED FINE. THERE WERE CARS COMING UP BEHIND ME THANK GOODNESS NO ACCIDENT. MADE IT TO MY SONS DOCTOR APPOINTMENT AND QUICKLY CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THE SERVICE GUY SAID HE HAS HEARD NOTHING WITH THE FORD EDGE AND DOESN'T KNOW WHAT THE WRENCH MEANT. HE SAID I NEED TO BRING IT IN AND I WILL BE CHARGED $125 JUST TO LOOK AT IT. I ASKED IF IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE BACK WITH MY SON AND HE JUST SAID I DON'T KNOW. SO I ASKED WHY WOULD THE HANDBOOK SAY TO CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY? APPARENTLY THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THIS AND NEEDS...

WHILE ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY GOING 65 MPH. THE CAR WENT LIMP-NO POWER. WRENCH SYMBOL AND AWD LIGHTS COME ON. AFTER NEARLY GETTING REAR ENDED TRYING TO GET TO THE BERM, SHUT CAR OFF RESTARTED IT AND IT RAN FINE. TOOK CAR TO DEALER WHERE THEY DIAGNOSED IT AS A COMPUTER ISSUE. ON 7-12-14 WHILE ON INTERSTATE GOING 70 MPH., EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED. ON 7-13-14, 7-16-14, 7-20-14 AND 7-21-14 AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 25 AND 35 MPH. THIS HAPPENED A TOTAL OF 8 SEPARATE TIMES. TOOK CAR TO FORD DEALER WHERE THEY DIAGNOSED IT AS REPLACE THROTTLE BODY AND REPROGRAM COMPUTER FOR TOTAL COST OF $788.00. SOMEONE IS GOING TO DIE ON A HIGHWAY OR MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN AT AN INTERSECTION IF THIS PROBLEM IS NOT PROPERLY ADDRESSED. *TR

VEHICLE STALLS WHILE DRIVING IT, HAS HAPPENED 5 TIMES IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS, FORD SERVICE CAN NOT DIAGNOSE. *TR

IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING NORMALLY THE ENGINE SLOWS RPM ALMOST TO A STALL THEN WOULD NOT DO ANY THING WHEN THE GAS PEDAL WAS PRESSED. AFTER PULLING OVER I SHUT OFF THE CAR AND TURNED IT BACK ON AND IT DROVE FINE FOR ABOUT 20 MILES. THEN WHILE SLOWING DOWN TO A REDLIGHT IT DID THE SAME THING. SO I TURNED IT OFF AND ON AND IT WAS FINE AGAIN. I DROVE IT HOME AND NOW ITS SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY. AFTER LOOKING ONLINE IT SEEMS THAT IT IS PROBABLY THE THROTTLE BODY. IM GOING TO REPLACE THAT AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 44,200.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY, I LOST POWER, A WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON THE DASH AND THE ENGINE CHUGGED. I PULLED OFF AT THE CLOSEST EXIT, FEARING THE CAR WOULD TOTALLY STOP. *TR

DRIVING 43MPH, MY VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING. THE AWD OFF AND WRENCH ICON INDICATORS APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD. I HAD TO SWERVE ONTO THE MEDIAN TO AVOID BEING REAR-ENDED. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN ON JUNE 16, 17, 24 & 25. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT VARYING SPEEDS, FASTER AND SLOWER THAN THE FIRST INCIDENT. IT ENDED UP BEING THE THROTTLE BODY, AND CONVENIENTLY JUST 4000 MILES PAST THE WARRANTY EXPIRATION. I WAS TOLD BY TWO SEPARATE MECHANICS THAT THIS IS SOMETHING THEY'VE SEEN MANY TIMES, AND IF IT WERE ONE OF TWO OTHER FORD MODELS, IT WOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY PLAN BY FORD. IT IS THE SAME PART IN ALL VEHICLES, BUT ONLY COVERED IN CERTAIN MODELS? THIS FAULTY PART IS PUTTING PEOPLE'S LIVES AT RISK, OR AT MINIMUM PUTTING THEM IN UNNECESSARY DANGER OF AN ACCIDENT AND RESULTING FINANCIAL DAMAGES THAT FOLLOW. IF IT'S A KNOWN ISSUE WITH...

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING HER 2011 FORD EDGE ON THE HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH WITH ME AND ANOTHER PASSENGER WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR BEGAN TO DECELERATE VERY QUICKLY. MY WIFE SHOUTED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESPOND WHEN SHE APPLIED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. WE WERE IN FULL TRAFFIC AS CARS SPED BESIDE US AND CAME UP QUICKLY BEHIND US SLAMMING ON THEIR BRAKES TO AVOID HITTING US. I TURNED ON THE HAZARD LIGHTS AND TOLD HER TO TRY TO COAST OVER TO THE SHOULDER BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WOULD STILL NOT RESPOND. SHE HAD TO CUT OFF SEVERAL OTHER VEHICLES TO MAKE IT OVER TO THE SHOULDER BUT LUCKILY NO ACCIDENT OCCURRED. WHEN WE STOPPED, SHE AGAIN TRIED TO APPLY THE ACCELERATOR BUT STILL NO RESPONSE. SHE PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE. SHE WAITED A FEW SECONDS AND STARTED THE CAR AND PUT...

DURING DRIVING, THE ENGINE STOPPED AND CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE, THERE WAS A COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER. THERE WAS NO WARNING, AND THE "YELLOW WRENCH" LIGHT CAME ON, AND CAR WOULD NOT GO. THIS WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND COULD NOT GET OFF OF THE ROAD. IT HAPPENED SO QUICKLY, THERE WAS NO TIME TO REACT TO TRY TO PULL OVER. LOST STEERING AND COULDN'T MOVE ANYWHERE. WAITED FOR 1 MIN OR SO, AND RESTARTED CAR. *TR

APRIL 3- FIFTEEN MINS FROM HOME (RETURNING FROM A VACATION TO GATLINBURG, TN), "BLACK SCREEN OF DEATH" OCCURRED. TOOK IMMEDIATELY TO DEALERSHIP. WAITED 40 MINS WHILE DIAGNOSTIC RUN AND TOLD TO BRING BACK MONDAY, APRIL 7, AS APIM WAS DISCOVERED TO BE BAD. WOULD BE REPLACED MONDAY.
