The computer malfunctioned causing engine coils to burn. Ford did not extend the warranty for this common defect. But Ford did extend the warranty for the subsequent malfunction of the catalytic converter, which was caused by the 1st malfunction described.

The contact owns a 2013 Ford Edge. The contact stated that the door ajar warning light remained illuminated when the doors were closed. The contact mentioned that the failure caused the interior lights to remain illuminated when driving and the doors to be unable to lock. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, who reset the computer but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The VIN was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 40,000.

Vehicle was parked. . . Went to start vehicle. . . Bright light indicator was on on dashboard, unable to move vehicle out of park unless manually done, when vehicle starts all indicators on instrument panel comes on, notices under the computer output on instrument panel indicates a host of problems, so basically the computer has failed to some nature causing errors to show. Hazards don't work, brake and turn signals don't work, but the vehicle will start at least until the battery is dead from the lights on the instrument panel run it out. Had this covered under warranty twice this is the third occurrence without determination of problem. Vehicle has to be towed to dealership for repair. . . I believe resetting the computer is the only option because diagnostics run do not indicate a known problem. My belief is that after 3 occurrences of this the common denominator is a strong electrical storm occurring prior to the computer failing. The vehicle has not been hit by lightning, but, there has been heavy strikes around or near the vehicle that upset the computer. . . Jury is still out on my theory, but this is what I have observed.

I was driving on a busy freeway in morning traffic and went to accelerate to change lanes b/c exit was coming up - noticed truck just didn't sound right. I floored it and the rpm's shot up to over 4,000 but my speed stayed at around 70. I tapped the brakes and the rpms dropped to right above 0 and my truck started slowing way down quick and I tried giving it more gas but wouldn't go. Then it started shaking and check engine light came on. Luckily I was only in the 2nd lane from outside shoulder and was able to maneuver my truck to the shoulder and turn it off to wait for the tow truck. Had my mechanic check it out and he said the computer has malfunctioned (possibly completely gone out - waiting on him to check it out today) and caused the #4 cylinder not to have any power and that coil is burned. I have no warranty on my truck as I bought it a little over 2yrs ago as certified pre-owned. Called the dealership where I bought and told them there was a TSB issued for this and they acted dumb and said there have been no reported incidents of this happening - they are aware of a throttle issue but not what I described with the check engine light coming on (supposedly it should have been the wrench light).
