3 Engine Shut Off Without Warning problem

Failure Date: 10/14/2016

Multiple times the car suddenly lost all power. Engine shuts off, power steering gone and all the warning lights on the dash light up. This has happened on expressways, city streets and country roads, each time impeding the flow of traffic and people don't respond well to me when this happens. I have come very close to being hit by other cars. Each time I have pushed the starter button to shut it off even though it is not running and I wait a few minutes. I then restart the car and it seems to function again, for a while. The dealership wants to play games about this issue, " not doing it for our technician". I see loads of complaints just like mine with nothing being done. Come on, it's recall time,,,before I, my wife, family or someone suffers serious injury or death because of this known problem with the ebt assembly in the Ford Edge.

4 Engine Shut Off Without Warning problem

Failure Date: 08/12/2016

While driving vehicle, it shudders and the engine shuts off. The car lights stay on in the interior and exterior - but the information screen goes black and then the back up camera turns on. Car will not accelerate -- stays like this for a few moments then goes back to normal but then happens again -- usually 3 times within 3 minutes. This is the second time my vehicle will be going into the service dept. The first time I was driving on a major highway going 75mph, speed dropped to 60mph within a matter of seconds - would not accelerate and rear view camera was on. Second time, at a stop light and the car shuddered and turned off when driving through the green light the engine shut off again. Then, as the vehicle was being pulled off the road and out of traffic the engine shut off again. Vehicle was towed to service dept. Ford says there is nothing that can be found.

5 Engine Shut Off Without Warning problem

My car shut down while driving. I was driving in a parking lot and it just suddenly shut down. I couldn't accelerate. An error displayed that said something like full power active accessory. I was able to restart the car.

6 Engine Shut Off Without Warning problem

Failure Date: 06/03/2016

Pulled up to a red light and waited until the light turned green. Then I attempted to accelerate and the the engine shut off; however, it is possible that the engine shut off while the car was stopped prior to accelerating. A warning came up on the vehicle display, but I cannot remember the exact warning. I shifted into park and started the car back up, and all errors cleared. I drove an additional two miles home, and did not experience the same issue (even though I repeated the same procedure at two stop signs, fully stopping and gradually accelerating).

7 Engine Shut Off Without Warning problem

Failure Date: 05/12/2016

Car shut off twice on the highway at 70 mph. Very dangerous but was able to pull over on the shoulder and restart vehicle but then it would stall 15 minutes later. All power gone in the engine. Have 11,000 miles on this car. Dummy light said to "get service". At the dealership they said it would take three weeks to get the new "throttle body" to fix this problem? three weeks I am without this car! I just hope once it's fixed I'm not going to be stalling without warning on the highway!.

8 Engine Shut Off Without Warning problem

Failure Date: 10/14/2015

I was turning right at a speed of 10-15 mph and without warning the engine shut down and all power was lost. I avoided hitting another vehicle by quickly shifting to park and restarted the engine. The only thing I noticed on shut down was the green light on the ignition button was flashing.

9 Engine Shut Off Without Warning problem

Failure Date: 09/27/2015

We had stopped at a red light and then we proceeded through the light and the transmission shifted hard from 1st to 2nd gear (auto transmission) but didn't think anything about it. We then turned into a parking lot at tampa International airport and the vehicle's engine just shut down before we came to a stop. We coasted into a parking space and the automobile was unresponsive to me trying to shut everything down for approximately 3 to 5 seconds. There was a notification that appeared on the dash when the engine shut down but I don't remember what it said. It then allowed me to depress the start/stop button that allowed the electrical system to shut down for a re-start. I then restarted the engine and picked up my passenger and drove home. The vehicle has been problem free before the incident and did not cause any problems on our return drive home. We were very lucky to have been in a parking lot and not on a busy highway pulling in front of oncoming traffic.

10 Engine Shut Off Without Warning problem

Failure Date: 09/16/2015

Was approaching a 4 way stop while lightly tapping on the brakes when the engine shut down and the message "full accessory power active" showed up in the information display. When the engine turned off it did not buckle or hesitate. Was able to turn vehicle back on by shifting into park.

11 Engine Shut Off Without Warning problem

Failure Date: 07/01/2015

The car shuts off with no warning while driving. This has occurred 5 times in the past 8 weeks. The first time was a week after we purchased the vehicle and occurred at a stop light, the engine shut off with no warning lights. Three times the engine has shut off while driving at speeds around 25 mph again no warning lights. I was not turning during these times. I have to put the car in neutral and have to press the brake in order to restart the engine. Today the engine shut off while making a turn in an intersection in heavy traffic and almost caused an accident. The vehicles behind us had to slam on brakes to avoid hitting us. This is extremely dangerous. We immediately took the car to the dealership today for service. This has been occurring more frequently and without warning. I am afraid to drive this vehicle.
