2015 Ford Edge Power Train

VEHICLE LOST ALL FORWARD DRIVING POWER WHEN MERGING INTO TRAFFIC ON 3 LANE MAJOR HIGHWAY FROM ON RAMP DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AND VEHICLE ENTERED LIMP MODE. NEARLY CRASHED BECAUSE OF LIMP MODE CAUSED REDUCED STEERING AND REDUCED SPEED TO MAXIMUM OF 10 MPH ON HIGHWAY WITH 55 MPH SPEED LIMIT. NO WHERE TO PULL OVER ON HIGHWAY SO DROVE VEHICLE IN LIMP MODE OFF NEXT EXIT. AFTER PARKING AND RE-STARTING, REVERSE NOT ENGAGING AND NOW SLIPPING IN AND OUT OF DRIVE GEARS. TOWED TO DEALER. DEALER UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. DURING DIAGNOSIS DEALER PERFORMED COST ANALYSIS AND DECIDED TO REPLACE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION. VEHICLE AT DEALER SERVICE CENTER FOR 30 DAYS. AFTER PICKING UP "REPAIRED" VEHICLE A LOUD EXHAUST NOTE IS NOW PREVALENT. NEED TO TAKE VEHICLE BACK TO DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT FOR FURTHER DIAGNOSIS.

I OWN THIS 2015 EDGE FOR LESS THAN A YEAR AND LESS THAN 15,000 MILES. DRIVING ON A SUNDAY AFTERNOON AT 35 MILES PER HOUR TO PICK PUMPKINS AND THE TRANSMISSION JUST STARTS SPINNING. WE PULL OVER AND TRANSMISSION IS COMPLETELY SHOT WILL NOT MOVE CAR. CALL AAA AND HAVE IT TOWED TO THE NEAREST DEALER CARBONE FORD IN BENNINGTON VERMONT. THIS IS NOT WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED BUT IT IS WHERE I HAVE IT SERVICED. SO THE FIRST THING THEY TELL ME IS FORD WILL NOT ISSUE A LOANER VEHICLE NOR WILL THEY PAY FOR A RENTAL. THEY TELL ME THEY FIRST MUST "DOWNLOAD THE DATA FROM THEIR COMPUTER TO FORD, SO THAT FORD CAN DECIDE WHETHER TO FIX IT OR REPLACE IT." THIS TOOK TWO FULL WEEKS. IN THE THIRD WEEK FORD TOLD THEM THEY COULD REPAIR IT AND THE PARTS WERE SENT. IN THE FOURTH WEEK I WAS PROMISED THE CAR WEDNESDAY AND THEN "ABSOLUTELY FRIDAY" IT IS NOW SATURDAY AND NO CAR. I HAVE RENTED A CAR FOR FOUR FULL WEEKS GOING ON FIVE. THE KILLER IS THAT AAMCO WOULD HAVE TAKEN TWO DAYS TO FIX OR REPLACE MY TRANSMISSION AND FORD THINKS THIS IS SOMEHOW NOT THEIR FAULT THEREFORE NO LOANER VEHICLE.

CAR LOST POWER AT 60 MPH WAS ABLE TO COAST TO SIDE OF ROAD AND RESTART. SAME DAY ON INTERSTATE GOING 70 MPH SAME THING BUT HAD VERY LITTLE ROOM TO PULL OFF. RESTARTED AND ONCE AGAIN COMING TO STOP LIGHT ON RT. 61 WAS ABLE TO COAST TO SIDE AND RESTART. ALL THIS HAPPENED WITHIN 1TO2 HRS. THIS WAS ON SUNDAY 5/8/16 MILEAGE ON CAR 4,863. MON. 5/9/16 TOOK CAR TO SANDS FORD OF POTTSVILLE AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULD NOT DETERMINE WHAT WENT WRONG AND CLEARED THE ENGINE LIGHT AND TO DRIVE CAR AND SEE IF IT OCCURS AGAIN. FORD MOTOR CO. WILL NOT REPLACE ANYTHING UNTIL THEY KNOW WHAT CAUSES IT TO SHUT DOWN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, TURNED OFF, AND RESTARTED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL DEALER, BUT THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DUPLICATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND PROMISED TO INVESTIGATE THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REMEDIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 83,082.

I WAS DRIVING ON A BUSY HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 45 MPH AND I COULDN'T ACCELERATE. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO COAST OFF TO THE SIDE BURN. MY CAR ONLY HAS 6700 MILES ON IT. THEY TOWED IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT THEY CAN'T GET IT INTO TO LOOK AT UNTIL AUGUST 1ST. THE APPARENTLY WON'T EVEN GIVE YOU A LOANER CAR IN THE MEANTIME. VERY FRUSTRATING. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED TO 15 MPH WHEN THE POWER TRAIN WRENCH WARNING SIGNAL ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, TURNED OFF, AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN BACK TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,100.

DRIVING WITH CRUISE ON AT 55 TO 60, YELLOW WRENCH COMES ON AFTER FEELING THE CAR SHUTTER, CRUISE STOPS WORKING BUT WAS ABLE TO KEEP IT UP TO SPEED. KEPT DRIVING, AT EVERY STOP LIGHT THE CAR ACTS LIKE IT WANTS TO STALL BUT DOESN'T, THEN ACTS LIKE IT IS IN 3RD OR 4TH GEAR WHEN TAKING OFF. SHUT THE CAR OFF AND RE-STARTED AND IT ACTED FINE. THEN, THE NEXT DAY, THE SAME THING HAPPENED WHEN MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ON HER WAY TO WORK IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. THIS YELLOW WRENCH CAME ON ABOUT 10 MONTHS AGO AND IT CLEARED WHEN SHUTTING THE CAR OFF. DEALER SAID TO KEEP AN EYE ON IT AND IT MAY HAVE BEEN A GLITCH. SPENT A TON OF MONEY ON THIS CAR AND WE DON'T EVEN FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT! GETTING THE THROTTLE BODY REPLACED AS WE SPEAK SO HOPEFULLY THAT WILL FIX IT FOR GOOD. LESS THAN 15,000 MILES ON THE CAR.

FWD 3.5 V6, 7 MONTH OLD CAR WITH 12,200 MILES- DRIVING ON INTERSTATE WHEN ENGINE JUST QUIT WITH NO WARNING. WRENCH SYMBOL ILLUMINATED ON DASH. AFTER SHUTTING DOWN, CAR WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED, ONLY TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AFTER 3-5 MINUTES. CAR WAS TOWED TO FORD DEALER, WHERE PROBLEM WAS DIAGNOSED AS A FAULTY THROTTLE BODY. DEALER SAID THEY SEE A LOT OF THIS PROBLEM AND THAT I WAS FORTUNATE THAT THEY HAD THE PART IN STOCK. I FELT I WAS FORTUNATE TO BE ABLE TO SAFELY PULL THE CAR OVER, WITHOUT CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. CAR WAS REPAIRED THE NEXT MORNING.

ETB ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY FAILED WHILE DRIVING PUTTING ME IN DANGER ON THE ROAD AND CAUSING MY CAR TO GO LIMP. I WAS DRIVING 70 MPH IN A 75 AND LOST POWER AND CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. IT WAS ALL I COULD DO TO PUT THE CAR ON THE SHOULDER WITHOUT AN ACCIDENT. THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON THE DASHBOARD. IT WAS TOWED TO TEXARKANA AND I AM IN ROCKWALL TX WAITING ON 15000 OF THESE PARTS ARE ON BACK ORDER WITH FORD TO COME IN FOR MY CAR. THIS IS HOPELESS. IT'S DANGEROUS TO HAVE THIS CAR STALL LIKE THAT AND TO KNOW 1.6 MILLION HAVE ALREADY.

WHILE DRIVING HOME IN MY 2015 FORD EDGE TITANIUM, I TURNED INTO A SIDE STREET AND PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR TO CONTINUE DRIVING. CAR SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY. I COULD NOT ADVANCE. AFTER SITTING FOR A FEW MINUTES, EVERYTHING CAME BACK ON. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND MADE IT HOME. A CAR THAT PUTS MY LIFE IN DANGER LIKE THIS COULD ALSO PUT OTHER LIVES AT RISK. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOST STEERING AND BRAKING ABILITY, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS STILL IDLING. ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE TO A PARKING LOT AND HAD IT TOWED. IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,500. UPDATED 05/31/2016*LJ

I GOT OUT OF THE CAR IN A DRIVEWAY, WAS STANDING WITH THE CAR DOOR STILL OPEN WHEN THE CAR STARTED TO ROLL DOWN THE DRIVEWAY. I WAS KNOCKED DOWN AND THEN STUCK UNDER THE CAR DOOR WHILE BEING DRAGGED DOWN THE DRIVEWAY. I SCREAMED FOR HELP AND A NEIGHBOR HEARD, RAN OVER JUST AS I APPROACHED THE STREET AND STOPPED THE CAR. SHE SAID THE CAR SHOWED TO BE IN REVERSE YET IT WAS TURNED OFF AND I DIDN'T HEAR ANY WARNING SIGNALS. IT ALSO DIDN'T START TO ROLL UNTIL I WAS STANDING OUT OF IT ON TWO FEET. IF I FELT IT ROLLING WHILE GETTING OUT, I WOULD HAVE STILL HAD A FOOT IN THE CAR TO HIT THE BREAK. BESIDES BRUISES AND MUSCLE PULLS, I ALSO EXPERIENCED A HOLE IN MY SHOULDER WHICH WENT TO THE BONE WHILE BEING DRAGGED.

THIS REPORT IS AN UPDATE TO COMPLAINT: 10788647. THIS VEHICLE, A 2015 FORD EDGE SEL WITH A 3.5L ENGINE, WAS REPAIRED BY A FORD DEALERSHIP FOR A STALLING/LOSS OF POWER WHILE DRIVING ISSUE. THE DEALERSHIP HAD THE VEHICLE FROM NOVEMBER 5-13, 2015, AND REPROGRAMED THE PCM IN ORDER TO CORRECT THE STALLING CONDITION. INITIALLY, THIS ACTION SEEMED TO RESOLVE THE STALLING ISSUE. HOWEVER, IN RECENT DAYS THE GAS MILEAGE HAS DROPPED ABOUT 3 MPG, AND ON TUESDAY, DECEMBER 22, 2015, AT 7:25PM THE EDGE STALLED WILL DRIVING (NOT ACCELERATING, DECELERATING, OR TURNING) AND THE ENGINE QUIT. THE VEHICLE SIMPLE STALLED AND LOST TOTAL POWER WHILE DRIVING. THERE WERE NO WARNING OR ERROR LIGHTS. THE ONLY MESSAGE WAS "FULL ACCESSORY POWER ACTIVE." I HAD TO PLACE THE VEHICLE IN PARK IN ORDER TO RESTART, WHICH I WAS ABLE TO DO. FORTUNATELY, I WAS NOT ON A BUSY ROADWAY WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE DEALERSHIP ADVISED ME TO BRING THEM THE VEHICLE THE NEXT DAY, DECEMBER, 23, 2015, AND THE VEHICLE HAS REMAINED IN THEIR POSSESSION SINCE THAT TIME. THIS ISSUE IS DANGEROUS. I LIVE IN A MAJOR METROPOLITAN AREA AND TRAVEL INTERSTATES EVERYDAY. IF IT STALLS WHILE I AM ON THE INTERSTATE, THE SITUATION COULD BE DISASTROUS.
