Engine Shut Off Without Warning Problems of Ford Edge - part 2

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.

Driving in residential area @ 35mph. Wrench light came on, car would no longer accelerate and was coasted to the side of the road. Car was turned off and then back on and was able to be driven without problem. Same event previously described occurred again. 1. 5hrs later. This event happened at a light that had just turned green and the car had to be stopped in a turn lane, turned off and back on, causing a disturbance in traffic patterns. At this point, the dealership was called and notified that I was bringing the car in for immediate service. The car then shut off again and my husband and I decided it was not safe for me to travel 25mi to dealership where car was purchased. We went to the nearest Ford dealership,approx. 5 mi away. In route to nearest dealership on interstate going 65mph the car shut off. I was able to get the car over on the shoulder to stop the engine. The area where my car came to a stop was right around a blind bend in the road. The car was restarted and I drove forward while still on the shoulder in hopes that I would be able to get around the bend in the road and be able to safely accelerate and merge back into traffic without doing so blindly. I exited the interstate onto secondary roads less than 1mi later. The car shut off 4 more times while driving to the dealership. One of these times was in the middle of a high traffic intersection which involved 3 lanes of traffic each way. My vehicle was serviced and returned to me that evening. Throttle body was replaced,costing$693. Less than 1mi from the dealership the car would no longer accelerate and came to a complete stop while in the turn lane of an intersection during high volume traffic hrs. It would not restart. Dealership notified, their tow service estimated 90min wait. Local police notified due to major disruption in traffic & fear of safety. Waited 45min, then had car towed at my expense.

I had just purchased my 2011 Ford Edge sel driving it for the first time after driving it home. I was driving on a two lane hwy when I lost power, a warning came up on the dash awd off with the little tool beside it. I had to coast off to the side of the road and thankfully there was a place to pull over. I waited a few minutes then restarted the car and it drove fine until 1 week later while I was driving on the interstate it did the exact same thing, the car shut down again. I did make it to the side of the road this time it did not want to start so I waited alittle longer and tried again and it did start back up. I pulled out and less than 1/2 mile down the road it shut down again. I managed to get it to the side of the road turned everything off restarted it again. All of this happened at night with just me and my son, we were scared to death . I did make it home that night. I called the dealership where I purchased the car and was told that they couldn't see me until 1 week and 2 days later. I took it to the dealerships service dept today and was told that they can't help me with my car since it is a Ford and they are a chevy dealer and I need to take it to their Ford dealership. I should have been told this before I drove an unsafe car 45 minuted down the road. After complaining to the salesman who sold me the car , they are going to take it to the Ford service dept for me (its 3hrs from my house) but that is not until next week. I am stuck with an unsafe car to drive that I just purchased and haven't even made the first payment .

This is now the seventh time I've lost all power while driving. The car completely shuts down, steering becomes uncontrollable and the oil pressure light comes on. I've taken to the dealership and I'm being told the car has no codes of what happened and they can't repair. I'm not sure how a computer doesn't register a low oil pressure light or how it's not hard coded somewhere in the computer system that the car just cut out at 35mph to 60 mph I have no warning that this is about to happen, I lost my steering, car shuts down, brakes do not work. Ford has no idea on how to fix this. I pull over and wait a few minutes crank up and go, sometimes it does it 5 to 6 times in a row before I can get to the dealer. Also, my driver's side door always keeps the door ajar light on, Ford has no clue how to fix this either- the interior lights stays on the whole time also. I have taken it in several times for this also and they can't fix it. I bought this car used and it was great for one year and now it has many problems which I believe it did when I bought it. I now put 93 octane in it just to see if that helps, I have put engine cleaner in it, had all the filters changed every 3 months, nothing seems to work. I do have grandchildren and worry that an accident could happen due to this malfunction. How do I go about filing against Ford for the lemon law.

Since Feb 2014, my 2007 Ford Edge seemed to be wanting to stall when I was driving and/or trying to accelerate. I didn't think anything of it as it wasn't a 24/7 issue but it did happen regularly. Yesterday everything changed. I went to turn my car on yesterday and it didn't turn on right away. It was "trying" to start and then it would shut down. I would try to start it again and once again, it was "trying" to start and eventually did. I was driving home on the highway when I began to notice that I wasn't able to accelerate and I was going slower and slower so I managed to pull over to the break down lane and then the car just shut off. Once again, it didn't turn on the first time I tried but then it did the second time but reluctantly. The lights were dim on my dashboard which hadn't happened before. I managed to get home very slowly. I shut my car off at home and tried to turn it on and again it was struggling to turn on. I took the car to the dealer today and I was told that the throttle body had to be replaced. The service tech went on to explain that he has seen this issue especially in the year and model that I have. I have googled this issue online and see that the NHTSA had been looking into this same issue/complaints but with a later year as well as well as other models. I don't understand why this wasn't a recall as this could have been a dangerous scenario. I was on the highway when this occurred and thankfully not with my children. I see several complaints online for the same issue. I need to pay to get this fixed but I feel this should be coming out of Ford's pocket as it seems like it was a defective part. This complaint should be opened again and a formal recall should be established. This could be potentially very dangerous and even fatal.

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.

Over the last month, my vehicle has had stalling issues while idling. All of the times it has occurred while my vehicle is idling at a red light and the vehicle sounds like the engine shuts off then jumps back on. However, one of the times, my vehicle completely stalled and I had to put my vehicle in park, turn it off then turn it back on. During this time the light had turned green and luckily no one was behind me. My local Ford dealer is fixing this issue, however, they are saying it is not covered under the Ford certified pre-owned comprehensive limited warranty or the Ford certified pre-owned powertrain limited warranty. I researched this issue and noticed other Ford and Lincoln models have had the same issue and are within the same year as my Ford Edge was manufactured, 2011.

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. . .

Investigation subject : electronic throttle body malfunction NHTSA action number: pe13003 must include 2008 Ford Edge to recall list!! had a very close call. Vehicle shut off while making turn with on coming traffic. Dealer says there is nothing they can do because this model is not included in the recall of the defective throttle bodies! there are way too many Ford Edge owners with this problem to be ignored in this recall. Thank you !.

Traveling on interstate highway the engine shut down and a wrench warning symbol appeared on dash board. Turned off car and restarted all cleared. Took to dealer and they could find nothing on computer. Happen again on trip to florida and twice more back at home. Dealer again check and said could find nothing. There is definitely something going wrong and it a serious hazard when you are traveling at interstate speed and the car engine, power steering, and brakes stop working. Car goes into creep mode until you stop turn off engine and restart.
