While driving, the vehicles engine will shut off without any kind of warning. The "awd light" will come on and the "wrench light" will start flashing the vehicle will start to shake and vibrate. This has happened 3 times now in the past 3 months. Once in early April 2016 and again on 6/24/16, and the next day (today) on 6/25/16. All times the road was dry and temps were between 70-80 degrees. Each time the vehicle was traveling at approx. 55 mph in traffic on roads without a shoulder. Once safely pulled over the start button (keyless start) is turned off and after the vehicle sits for minute it is able to started again without the lights coming on. I have researched this issue on-line and there are many, many complaints about this happening on highways where accidents have been narrowly avoided. Traveling in heavy traffic at high speeds when this happens could be a disaster waiting to happen. Please force Ford to issue a recall before someone dies due to this issue.
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. Vehicle seemed to work ok and no warning lights came back on afterwards. I called the dealership and arranged for me to have my car inspected for the cause of this malfunction. I paid $111. 30 for the vehicle to be hooked to a diagnostic machine but the dealership was unable to get any "codes" from a diagnostic reading nor could the dealer replicate the warning light to come on. On June 24, 2015 the same issue happened again. I took a photo of the light on the dash, sent it to dealership. Third time happened on Friday, July 10, 2015 and I was on the highway in the passing lane and had to coast across the slow lane to get out of the way of traffic so I wouldn't cause an accident. Again, I took photos of the odometer and the "awd off" light and sent to dealership. Dealership sys without a code from diagnostic machine, they can't tell what is wrong. Fourth time happen last night, July 14, 2015. This is a huge issue as from researching on the internet, a lot of other Ford Edge owners experienced the same problem! please help! I feel like I'm getting no help!.
