Failure Date: 02/09/2019

Pto unit has begun leaking oil. This is a well-documented issue that Ford refuses to address. The unit has not failed as of yet, but all research shows that I will be required to have critical repairs performed or I might face a safety issue while driving at highway speeds. This issue is not repairable as the unit is a maintenance free part and has no ability to be maintained by normal repair processes.

Failure Date: 01/31/2019

My daughter left for work at 6 in the morning, it was minus 25/30 with the wind chill. She went to make a left turn on to a main state truck route and the car started to shake and shutter and lost all power. The engine light came on too. After the car quit completely it then was restarted. It continued to act up. A friend checked it and his computer was showing codes for the throttle body and sensors. It is now at the dealership. I called Ford and was told there is no recall or extended warranty for the issue. I was told they would note my complaint and if it is ever recalled or ok'd for and extended warranty then they would let us know and she could be reimbursed. We live off 2 state truck routes that are heavily traveled, but as she is a young female at dark with a vehicle that is dark and the road is icy and its cold enough that schools and places have shut down and people have died from exposure in this , I will not lose a child because Ford is to lazy to pull their head outta their keister and start thinking old school again and consider their customers. Fix the issue! don't sweep it under the rug because its easier than facing your "new style" vehicles have issues. I have no use for Ford. My expedition, my aunts expedition and her daughters escape all did this exact same thing. At this moment we are waiting to hear from the dealership as to what is going on. If this site allows me to update I will. She was going approximatly 30 mph and as she pressed on the gas peddle it slowly died.

Was driving the car and the accelerator just goes dead. This is the second time in 3 years it has happened while driving 65 mph. Very scary.

Very unsafe electronic throttle body was already replaced once unexceptable.

48 Other Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 05/05/2018

First my engine light was flashing when accelerating onto freeway, then eventually stayed solid. Code came back as air sensors. I replaced o� sensors up and down lean bank 2s, and the brake booster went out on me completely, followed by car stalling everytime brake was applied for longer then 15 seconds on and off . Long story short paid 2,000 on repairs. Then all the sudden engine lights back on followed by low tone rumble and power loss when accelerating to fast. I already replaced spark plugs and coil packs all 6, air filter and had 3 oil changes. Sad part just purchased the car 7 months ago. Havoc module to change ac to heat also went out on both sides but I disconnected an reconnected box on both sides to fix myself . Don't know if it makes a difference on air pressure needed for engine.

49 Other Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 03/31/2018

Unexpected loss of power and wrench and parking shift messages shown on my SUV display. On 03312018 my Ford Edge sport awd 2013 surprised me when an unexpected loss of power happen during an slow motion in a secondary road. Unable to manage my vehicle I stop at the nearest gas station using the slope backwards in neutro shift until reach the gas station behind me. Then when stop I began to read vehicle book and shut down the vehicle as recommended. After 30 mins I restart the vehicle and the loss power disappear reason why I decide to return back to my home. When I enter to the consumer report page from my pc at home to request info for any recall for this vehicle I find out that a recall number exist for this type of SUV. The recall number is 14s10 since august2014 but I never has been advised. Few month ago I went to the dealer for a review of a problem but they did nothing and said that the vehicle was in perfect condition avoiding their responsibility to tell me about any recall for this problem. I still experimenting the same situation since 03312018, risking my life and the life of other people in the road as my SUV continues without losing power but taken the pertinent precaution. I still very worry as the consumer report stated that in addition this failure may cause the vehicle to roll away if the parking brake is not applied despite the transmission being placed in park.

The first time I noticed a throttle sudden acceleration was when I was driving about 45 miles down a road and suddenly a thrust of acceleration jumped the vehicle and then even when I pushed on the brakes the car thrust forward so I put the car in neutral and it stopped, luckily there were no cars around. The second time it happened I was at a red light and the car suddenly accelerated on its own I floored the brake but still the car wouldn't stop and then put the car in neutral and the car stopped. There were no warning indicators to indicate an issue.

Failure Date: 10/29/2016

My 2013 Ford Edge on several occasions loses all engine power. The rpm's drop to about 600 and depressing the accelerator has no effect on the rpm's. The 5 times it happened during the month of October 2016 I was traveling at speeds ranging from 40 to 50 mph. Fortunately, I was able to safely coast to the nearest shoulder without incident. The potential for a catastrophic incident is obvious.

63 Other Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 10/29/2016

Engine became totally disabled at 50 mph on a rural county highway. Struggled to steer vehicle to shoulder of road because of lost power. Fortunately we were on a straight section of road. I can only think that in so many other driving situations this problem could have put us in a life threatening position. Ford really needs to find the problem and fix it!.

65 Other Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 09/02/2016

Was driving approx. 45 mph coming thru a 5 corners major intersection at peak traffic time of 5:15pm. Driving on state farm to market road in town of 100k residents. Had been driving approx. 3 miles. Temp in 80's, roads dry. Complete loss of power, nearly rear ended. Car crept a little, moved to middle turn lane, strong forward lurch/jerk, yellow wrench light on. Put car in park, turned it off. Tried to start, nothing. Sat about a minute, tried, started. Limped to parking lot. Turned vehicle off, sat for about 20 minutes. Then took route home going thru subdivisions where stall would not jeapordize life. Could not drive to dealer as that would involve highway, and risk of fatal accident. I was very fortunate today, have never been that scared driving a vehicle in 40 yrs of driving.

66 Other Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 08/12/2016

Three occurrences: driving 30 mph, all forward movement stopped. Engine wrench came on, no power, no rpm, no response. Had to cross 3 lanes of traffic (coasting) to prevent us being t-boned in the intersection. Next : driving 70 mph on the interstate. Same thing happened, all power stopped, nearly run over by an 18 wheeler. Had to coast to the side of the interstate. Third : the very next day, same thing happened on a country road. No traffic. No near miss this time. Had it fixed at Ford the following day. Cost nearly $250. Research shows that Ford has replaced 1. 6 million electronic throttle bodies. This needs recalled. I'm fighting Ford for a refund that I paid for. I had to have my family safe. Please hit Ford hard. This is very dangerous. I think they've had a recall on fusion / escape. Why not Edge. I'd like to know how many Edge vehicles have had etb replaced.

67 Other Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 07/16/2016

Driving down a city street. Stopped at a light and when it was green we got up to about 45 mph, the car started sputtering would not accelerate. It went into limp mode and we had to pull over into the turn lane. We could not drive the vehicle and had to be towed to a dealer. Dealer advised faulty throttle body which I understand is a known issue.

68 Other Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 07/05/2016

Fuel odor in cabin. Every time I put gasoline on it, when trying to turn on, it fails and I have to try several times. While parked it turn off by it self and a red notification saying something like oil pressure appears. I went to dealer and they say is ok. I entered the VIN in your site and there are 2 recalls. Dealer never contact me about that.

69 Other Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 06/13/2016

While the vehicle was in motion, driving down a state highway, it stopped responding to pressure on the accelerator. A light on the dash advised me to check the manual. I had to pull off the road, turn off the engine, then restart it, which reset the throttle an allowed me to continue home. This process was repeated three times on the interstate on my way to work. I had the same problem in January, when the dealership couldn't find the problem, and sent me home in a faulty vehicle, only to have it delivered to them via tow truck a day later, resulting in them replacing the throttle body. Five months later, I have the same problem, but the car is out of warranty, so they wont replace it. They do, however want to charge me a $120 diagnostic fee, after I told them exactly what the problem was. This has put my life in danger a total of six times, to date. It is a known problem. There should be a recall.
