general problems of the 2009 Ford Edge

2 years ago car started losing power so took to garage for tune up. Changed spark plugs. They said that I needed one of the coils changed as well. Costly job. This did not fix the issue. Took to another shop who said that the computer needed to be changed because computer was burning out the coil. Have picture of burned coil. Again, this time replaced computer and coils ( all 6 coils. $2000 fix. Almost year later again same issue. Go back to same garage, covered in warranty. Explains to me that this is something Ford is aware of and has done nothing about. Boards are shorting out coils. They replaced computer again and charged me to install. This time is lasted only 6 months. My car only has 121,000 miles on it. I should not have replaced computer 3 times in 2 years. Tell me that this is right? I cannot drive the car at all because this will cause the engine to crack. The car needs to be towed each time. Loss of power can cause accident. Scary.

Sudden and total loss of power while driving vehicle in traffic. There was warning, no engine light and there are no codes to diagnose. This is a life-threatening hazard and should be addressed and not dismissed by Ford. Some say it could be several solutions to the problem but the main solution has been the throttle position switch and throttle body assembly. This is a manufacturing issue and should be consider a recall fix with no cost to the owner.

Car suddenly accerlates when disengaged from parking mode and when braking. Engine speed up, rpm went from 1,000 to 3,000 in seconds.

The contact owns a 2009 Ford Edge. The contact stated that after parking the vehicle in the garage, the contact discovered smoke coming from the garage. After driving the vehicle out of the garage, the contact saw smoke and flames coming from the engine compartment. The fire department was called to the scene and extinguished the flames. A fire report was filed. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The manufacturer and local dealer were notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 120,000.

At speeds below 5 mph as well as speed 35-45 mph the transmission will run away race beyond foot pedal control. Immediate brake pressure is necessary to avoid accident and also shifting to neutral to regain control. Occurs with no warning. Requires emergency reaction time. !!! has happened numerous times since Dec. 2020 thru yesterday Feb. 22,2021.

My Edge you have to put it in park after you start driving it to get it to go. Then it will drive ok for awhile then you have to do it again. I'm afraid that I'm going to get rear ended and get hurt. Im driving in town when this happened.

Motor mount harness cracked off, motor mount had to be replaced.
