2012 FORD EDGE Engine Problems

WHILE DRIVING WITH CRUISE CONTROL SET, VEHICLE GOING UP A HILL THERE WAS A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER. THE ENGINE DIED (ZERO RPM INDICATED.) A FEW SECONDS LATER, THE "LOW ENGINE OIL PRESSURE" WARNING WAS DISPLAYED. LOSS OF POWER STEERING/BRAKES. VEHICLE WAS CAREFULLY MANEUVERED OFF THE HIGHWAY. ATTEMPTED TO RESTART REPEATEDLY. ENGINE WOULD ONLY RUN FOR A FEW SECONDS, THEN DIED. HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO THE FORD DEALER. NO ENGINE TROUBLE CODES DETECTED. AFTER SITTING OVERNIGHT, VEHICLE STARTED AND RAN WITHOUT ISSUE. THIS IS A DEFINITE SAFETY HAZARD WHEN A VEHICLE STALLS AT HIGH SPEED ON THE HIGHWAY. *TR

I WAS DRIVING 35 MPH ON A FLAT ROAD ON A SUNNY DAY THAT WAS 75 DEGREES. MY FORD EDGE ALL OF A SUDDEN LOST ALL POWER AND THE AWD OFF INDICATOR CAME ON ALONE WITH A LITTLE WRENCH LIGHT. I COULD NOT ACCELERATE OR DO ANYTHING. I LIMPED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND PUT IT IN PARK WHEN MY CAR BEGAN TO SHAKE, SO I SHUT IT OFF. I SAT THERE FOR A FEW MINUTES AND STARTED IT AGAIN, TRIED TO GO BACK ON THE ROAD AND IT DID THE EXACT SAME THING EXCEPT THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I PUT IT IN PARK AND SHUT IT OFF AND TURNED IT BACK ON AGAIN. I LIMPED HOME BECAUSE IT WAS SUNDAY AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WAS CLOSED. THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES IN THE PAST 2 MONTHS. I AM VERY UPSET, AND I AM 8 MONTHS PREGNANT,...

A MESSAGE WARNING "SHIFT TO PARK" APPEARS ON THE CAR DASHBOARD WHEN THE CAR HAS ALREADY BEEN PUT INTO PARK POSITION. THIS WARNING MESSAGE DISALLOWS THE DRIVER TO TURN THE CAR OFF - SHUT OF THE ENGINE. THE CAR IS ALREADY IN PARK AND MESSAGE LIGHT CONTINUES TO BE ON DISPLAY ON DASHBOARD. *TR

VEHICLE STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY FREEWAY. THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED AFTER 45 MINUTES OF NORMAL DRIVING WITH OUTSIDE TEMPERATURES ABOUT MID 80'S AND A/C ON MINIMAL LEVEL. JUST BEFORE THE INCIDENT I WAS DRIVING AT AVERAGE SPEED OF 65 MPH WHEN TRAFFIC GRADUALLY SLOWED DOWN TO AROUND 20 MPH. WITHOUT WARNING VEHICLE LOST ENGINE POWER AND LOST POWER STEERING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. ALL WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON BUT THE RADIO AND FAN STILL ON. I STRUGGLED WITH THE STEERING WHEEL WHILE OTHER DRIVERS PASSED ME AS THE TRAFFIC BEGUN TO PICK UP SPEED AGAIN. I WAS LUCKY NO ONE HIT ME AND WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE MEDIAN BY SIGNALING WITH MY LEFT ARM EXTENDED OUTSIDE THE WINDOW. SINCE IT WAS A LONG WEEKEND THE LOCAL FORD SERVICE SHOP WAS CLOSED UNTIL TUESDAY. AFTER TWO DAYS OF TESTING AND CHECKING FORD SERVICE COULDN'T...

WHILE DRIVING AT 45MPH, VEHICLE LOST POWER TO THE EXTENT THAT I HAD TO PULL OVER ON THE SHOULDER. A MECHANIC WRENCH LIGHT APPEARED ON THE DASH. VEHICLE REMAINED RUNNING BUT IDLE WAS VERY ERRATIC. AFTER IGNITION WAS TURNED OFF, I USED A CODE READER AND DTC "P2111" APPEARED ON THE READER (THROTTLE BODY FAILURE). AFTER CLEARING THE CODE, I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND ENGINE IDLE APPEARED NORMAL. DROVE VEHICLE FOR 20 MILES WITH NO OTHER ABNORMALITIES. DURING A BRIEF REVIEW OF FORD RECALLS, TSB'S, ETC. I AM FINDING THAT THERE ARE KNOWN ISSUES WITH THE THROTTLE BODY ON OTHER MODELS BUT FOR SOME REASON NOT THE EDGE. *TR

CAR STALLED WHILE DRIVING NO SIGNS OF FAILURE OR LIGHTS OR CODES. *TR

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN THE SPEEDS OF 25MPH AND 80MPH ON EUROPEAN ROADS/HIGHWAYS THE CAR LOSES ABILITY TO ACCELERATE REGARDLESS OF PRESSURE ON GAS PEDAL. I HAD TO PULL OVER, LUCKILY AVOIDING CARS AND POSSIBLE COLLISIONS. CAR DISPLAYED YELLOW WRENCH AND "AWD OFF" ON LEFT SIDE DISPLAY. ONCE IN SAFE AREA I TURNED OFF THE CAR, WAITED FOR A FEW MINUTES AND TURNED IT BACK ON WITHOUT IMMEDIATE INCIDENT. THIS HAPPENED A TOTAL OF 7 TIMES WITHIN A WEEK, HOWEVER, AFTER CONTACTING FORD SERVICE STATESIDE I WAS TOLD TO GO TO AN ITALIAN FORD DEALERSHIP. HOWEVER, I STOPPED AT TWO FORD SERVICE CENTERS LOCATED IN VICENZA, ITALY AND THE MECHANICS WILL NOT TOUCH MY CAR DUE TO THE MODEL NOT BEING SOLD ANYWHERE IN EUROPE. THE PROBLEM STOPPED UP UNTIL THIS PAST WEEK WHERE IT HAS HAPPENED AGAIN TWICE WITHIN 3 DAYS AT, LUCKILY, LOW SPEEDS AND AVOIDING...

DRIVING FROM COLUMBUS, OHIO TO LOUISVILLE, KY I WAS STUCK IN SLOW MOVING TRAFFIC DUE TO AN ACCIDENT ON INTERSTATE 71 AT EXIT 14. WHILE CREEPING ALONG, MY EDGE LOW OIL PRESSURE INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON AND THE ENGINE CUT OFF LEAVING THE VEHICLE WITHOUT POWER - BATTERY ACCESSORIES; SUCH AS THE RADIO STILL WORKED. BEST I CAN DESCRIBE IS SIMILAR TO THE OIL PUMP 'BURPED'. I PULLED INTO THE EMERGENCY LANE, PLACED THE CAR IN PARK, RESTARTED THE CAR, ALLOWED TO IDLE FOR A MINUTE OR SO AND PULLED BACK INTO TRAFFIC. MY CONCERN IS THAT THE ENGINE POWER SHUT DOWN LEAVING ME WITHOUT POWER STEERING OR ACCELERATOR POWER. HAD THIS HAPPENED AT A HIGHER SPEED, I THINK IT WOULD HAVE BEEN WORSE. I HAVE DRIVEN THE CAR FOR 3 DAYS SINCE THIS INCIDENT AND NO ISSUES. I PLAN TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER THIS WEEK TO...

AFTER SEEING THE RECENT ISSUES W/ THE FORD V6 ECOBOOST ENGINE, I THOUGHT IT WISE TO TELL ABOUT THE 2.0L ECOBOOST ENGINE IN MY EDGE. AFTER OWNING THE VEHICLE LESS THAN A YEAR, I WAS DRIVING THRU A NEIGHBORHOOD AT A VERY SLOW PACE, I STARTED TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN & THE CAR SIMPLY DIED. NO SHAKING, NO WARNING. LOST ALL POWER STEERING & ENGINE COMPRESSION. TURNED OFF, RESTARTED & ALL WAS WELL. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP THE NEXT WEEK, IF WE CANT REPLICATE IT WE CANT FIX IT. LAST MONTH, MY WIFE WAS TURNING RIGHT SLOWLY INTO A PARKING LOT & IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THIS TIME FORD KEPT THE CAR FOR OVER A WEEK TRYING TO DUPLICATE THE ISSUE, NO LUCK. IF WE CANT FIND IT, WE CANT FIX IT. I WAS TOLD IT COULD BE NUMEROUS THINGS & NO BULLETINS OR FIXES AT THIS TIME. SO MY PREGNANT...
