Driving up hill this vehicle loss power and the transmission disengaged in the middle of traffic I let the roll backward into a driveway shut the switch off waited about five minutes. I restarted put in gear and it drove as though it had no problem.
Driving on county road, my vehicle suddenly stopped. Wrench symbol lit up on dash. The gas pedal had no effect but engine remained running. Towed to a goodyear service station: they said they could not find a problem and the sensors showed no indication of a problem. On the way home it did the same thing. Turning the car off and removing the key, car starts back up. Took car to Ford dealer. They too said they could not duplicate the problem. And that when I turn the engine off it clears the computer. They returned the car but charged $140. Same problem occurred two days later. Called Ford from side of the road. They said their transmission guy was off until Tuesday (this was Friday afternoon). Drove about 8 miles and it happened again. It seems like the transmission disengages. I have read that many Ford Edge's have a problem with the etb but as far as I know there has been no recall.
The transmission will disengage and you have 0 power. This has happened 6 times. Sometimes it will be at 50mph and sometimes it will be from a stop which is extremely dangerous because you cannot accelerate. You have to pull over, shift to park or neutral, turn off the car, then restart the car and it works again. If this happened while turning left at a busy light and the car lost power it could be catastrophic.
