My Ford Edge shut down while driving down the road. It just shut off. You have to put it back in park in order to start it again. This happened while going to the in our town store. I am so relieved it was not while on the freeway. Had I been on the freeway, going at fast speeds, if the cars behind me were not paying attention I could have been hit, or worse killed. When I took it to the shop I found out that it is a known problem. It's technical service bulletin 15-0178, issued on Nov 2015. What I don't understand is why there's not a recall? is someone going to have do die first? attached is the service recall. I've contacted Ford, spoken with evergreen Ford in issaquah (where my car currently is) and filed a complaint with the attorney general here in washington state.
After researching Ford Edge research there were so many complaints of people having the same thing occur to them. My car will start and be driving then all of a sudden the car literally looses all power and the car shuts down. This has happened to me twice and it appears that Ford doesn't want to issue a recall on this. People's lives are in danger, there is no warning of when this will happen and then you stuck sitting on the road while in drive as your car lost power.
