Engine Shut Off Without Warning problems of the 2013 Ford Edge

Car shut off while I was driving 65mph in motion on highway no warning , I am very frighten to drive the vehicle it happened 3 times prior to the first one, mechanic has no idea why this is happening . This is very dangerous and a serious matter.

While driving at approximately 55-60 miles per hour the traction control and traction control off light lit up and a red brake malfunction light came on and the engine stopped while the car was in motion. We coasted to the side of the road and it took two attempts to start it again. The traction control light and traction control off light is still on. It happen three times so far and two of those times was while we were on the interstate in traffic travelling at 60-70 mph. This was not safe at all. When it shuts off there is a big thud sound and the traction control, traction control off and a red brake malfunction light comes on. After the second time there is now a rattle. I have the car at home now but it has a hesitation in it when it is first started this all has happened in the last 4 days.

The 2013 Ford Edge se has had the engine shut down while driving twice. Once on a two lane road and once on I 95 interstate with our family in it. Luckily, we were able to pull off the road. When it shuts down it shows wrench symbol on dash and says see users manual. Then the car restarts and drives normally until the next event. This is a severe safety issue and we will take the car in to the nearest Ford dealer as soon as possible. Many web threads have pointed to the throttle body as being defective and replaced. Then the issue stops. Hopefully this description helps another family from being injured on the roadways. It is understandable that cars will have issues but once Ford has notice of this problem we hope they resolve it in a timely manner. This description is an official notice of this severe safety concern of the engine shutting down unexpectedly while driving.

Brakes became spongy 2 1/2 weeks ago. Took to family mechanic. They were unable to recreate and stayed the brake pads are in great condition. Went on short vacation and the brakes continued to be spongy but not every time. When we returned home it began happening more frequently and a hissing sound began when applying brakes. Then yesterday morning the car shut off in the middle of a busy intersection but restarted after a few minutes. Took it into mechanic again and they were able to recreate both issues. After research they discovered a Ford extended warranty for this issue so I towed it to nearest Ford dealership. Now the garage is telling me it will cost between $800 and $1000 and my VIN is not covered. The info online states it should be covered. I pay my final car payment in 2 weeks and my additional warranty that I purchased ended in may. It seems this is a known issue and should be covered and most certainly should be recalled. It is not due to normal wear and tear. I have owned it brand new and after 7 years only have 30k miles on it. The vehicle is in great condition otherwise. Braking issues almost led to an accident the day before and it shut off with no warning or lights from the vehicle in the middle of an intersection. What if we had been on our road trip and going 80 miles an hour? this is a safety issue. The issue was recreated at the family mechanic in a parked position but for me it was operational.

On 4 separate occasions since September 2018, vehicle has shut down without warning while traveling on major highways and heavy traffic. Gas pedal did not respond when pressed. Lucky to have avoided serious accidents. Ford dealer/repair could not identify or repeat problem, but clearly there is a problem.

Our 2013 Ford Edge has had this problem three times in a month, twice on flat roads, once on an incline/bridge. You are driving along the car is moving, then all of a sudden you lose all power and the engine shuts off. You can't put the car in neutral and restart, you have to pull over, put the car in park, then the car will start again. This is extremely dangerous, as the car is difficult to control with no power anything. . . Especially when it happens on a major highway while going 65 mph, with a narrow shoulder on a bridge, with children in the car (like it did today). There are no diagnostic codes so there isn't much to go on, you just have to start guessing at the solution. It is obvious this is a huge problem, this board is filled with this problem. Yet Ford or the nthsa isn't doing anything about it? does someone have to die before action is taken?.

Why driving 40 mph the car engine light flashed on oil pressure low. The engine shut off and the steering locked up making it in possible to get the car off the road. This is extremely dangerous. I had just driven on 4 hwys to get home 50 minutes. What if this happens why someone is on the highway.

I was on the freeway and the vehicle shut off, I was in the middle lane with cars flying by. I put hazards on and slowly moved to the right side and completely shut off the car. I was very scared being stuck on the florida turnpike with vehicles going past me at 70 miles an hour and I could have been in a deadly accident. I was able to turn the car back on and was able to drive and get off the freeway and slowly drive to the dealership at 30 miles an hour. The dffective part the dealer said was the throttle body, which is a part that was recalled on the Ford escape 2009-2013 and on the 2009 - 2013 Ford fusion 2009-2013 Mercury mariner 2009 -2013 Mercury milan. My car is Ford Edge 2013 , the throttle body part is an obvious extensive issue with Ford.

While driving my 2013 Ford Edge lost all power in a turn. The engine shut down, the low oil light came on and I had a hard time steering the car due to the lost of power and the car still in drive. Fortunately no one was behind me or in front of me at the time. Upon reading several forums on this problem I find that I'm not the only one who has experienced this problem as it appears this problem has been happening for years. What does it take to get a recall on this problem, a fatal accident? I'll be taking my car to the dealer since I drive in traffic every day and I can't afford this to happen in that condition, but it sounds like the dealer won't do anything about the problem as per previous posts indicate such.

Was driving down the road and the fixing to turn and the engine shut down and lost all power to steering and brakes and the engine low oil pressure light displayed on dash. Vehicle started back up after a while but had the car towed in anyway to dealer. The dealer said they couldn't duplicate the problem and gave us the car back. The computer should have stored the problem you would think. This is the 3rd time we have had this car for different problems at 24000 miles. This will probably happen again and somebody will probably get hurt and then Ford is going to have a big problem on their hands. Scared to even drive this lemon now.

About 6 months ago while going up an incline the engine shut off at the top (lost all power to brakes and steering) and the "engine low oil pressure light came on". Turned the key off waited a minute and car started right up. Did not happen again until yesterday 7/5/14 while driving (25mph) on local street (level) the same thing happened car shut off without any warning had to step on brake until car would stop (lost all power to brakes and steering) and "engine low oil pressure light came on". Turned key off and waited a minute and car started right up. Did not bring to dealership first time it happened but will this time. Definitely a safety concern if this happeneds on a highway going highway speeds.

The 1st time my engine shut off was after making a right turn into a neighborhood driving slowly looking for an address. The second time was while pulling into my office parking lot; again at a slow speed and the engine shut off. Both instances made steering impossible. I took my Edge back to the dealer for both occurances, however they claim only once!! I was told the 1st time that they could find nothing wrong with it. This most recent instance they kept my car for 2 days, drove it intermittanly for 91 miles and could not reproduce the problem, therefore telling me sorry OH well, if we cannot produce the problem there is nothing to fix. I am outraged and do not know what to do from here. . .
