36 Gas Recirculation Valve (egr Valve) problem of the 2011 Ford Edge

Failure Date: 06/08/2015

Certified pre-owned 2011 Ford Edge limited awd. Purchased in Nov. 2014. On Monday, June 8, 2015 as I was driving at 55 mph, a light came on on the left hand side of the instrument panel. The light said "awd off" and had a little wrench symbol on it. The car abruptly lost power and I just coasted out of the way of traffic and onto the side of the road because there was no shoulder. I tried to press the gas pedal but nothing happened--there was no acceleration. My vehicle essentially "died" without warning in traffic. Weather conditions were sunny about 85 degrees. The radio and ac worked, but the gas pedal did not. The vehicle sounded like it was going to stall out and was sputtering as I coasted. I put the vehicle in "park" and turned the vehicle off. I waited several minutes and restarted the vehicle. Vehicle seemed to work ok and no warning lights came back on afterwards. I called the dealership and arranged for me to have my car inspected for the cause of this malfunction. I paid $111. 30 for the vehicle to be hooked to a diagnostic machine but the dealership was unable to get any "codes" from a diagnostic reading nor could the dealer replicate the warning light to come on. On June 24, 2015 the same issue happened again. I took a photo of the light on the dash, sent it to dealership. Third time happened on Friday, July 10, 2015 and I was on the highway in the passing lane and had to coast across the slow lane to get out of the way of traffic so I wouldn't cause an accident. Again, I took photos of the odometer and the "awd off" light and sent to dealership. Dealership sys without a code from diagnostic machine, they can't tell what is wrong. Fourth time happen last night, July 14, 2015. This is a huge issue as from researching on the internet, a lot of other Ford Edge owners experienced the same problem! please help! I feel like I'm getting no help!.

37 Gas Recirculation Valve (egr Valve) problem of the 2012 Ford Edge

Failure Date: 10/26/2014

I was driving 35 mph on a flat road on a sunny day that was 75 degrees. My Ford Edge all of a sudden lost all power and the awd off indictor came on alone with a little wrench light. I could not accelerate or do anything. I limped to the side of the road and put it in park when my car began to shake, so I shut it off. I sat there for a few minutes and started it again, tried to go back on the road and it did the exact same thing except the engine light came on. I put it in park and shut it off and turned it back on again. I limped home because it was Sunday and the service department was closed. This has happened 4 times in the past 2 months. I am very upset, and I am 8 months pregnant, I do not want to have to worry about this when I have the baby in the car. I am taking it to the dealership tomorrow, but I do see that there have been other people with the same problem. I do not think I should be responsible for any expenses that may come with this problem.

38 Gas Recirculation Valve (egr Valve) problem of the 2010 Ford Edge

Failure Date: 01/21/2012

On 1/21/12, I pulled into a parking space, with my foot on the brake to put the car into park, the engine made a funny noise and the car surged forward crashing into a Ford mustang. This crash should never have happened since my foot had the brake depressed. When the car came to a halt after hitting the mustang, I had to pull the gear shift out of "park" to back up off the damaged vehicle. After taking my vehicle to randall Ford to be checked out, I was informed that there was nothing wrong with my vehicle. They tried to convince me that my foot was on both pedals. This is virtually impossible to do in my car unless my foot was turned at a 90 degree angle from it's normal position. If my foot had slipped off the brake and hit the gas I would have said that and never taken my vehicle in to be inspected. I know Ford never wants to admit they have a problem with their vehicles but I urge the "powers that be" to go back into their issue history and check out the issues you had with the Ford freespirit surging forward on numerous occasions. I would like for someone to take this issue serious while my car is still under warranty. I cannot afford an $8000. Repair. I would also like to state that if someone had been between my car and the mustang it hit, they could have been severely hurt or killed.
