My suv lunges forward while in motion it has just cut off while in motion with no warning. I was on my city street and the vehicle just cut off and i had to turn the key over to restart it. Then it has started lunging while i am driving it. We bought the vehicle in dec. 2017 & when we complained about the lunging, the dealer took it in & said that it needed a tune-up. We paid $300 about 5 months ago and got a tuneup…

Water pump went out causing car to overheat. Over view of vehicle determined that when the pump went out it mixed the antifreeze and oil inside the engine. Instead of just replacing the water pump now i need a whole new engine.

Several times now, my car will not accelerate. This has happened while going 40, 60, 70mph on the hwy. I have had to instantly put hazards on and try to pull over which isn't always easy during rush hour traffic. When this happens, i pull off, and then my car lurches forward and shifts gears and then can accelerate. This has also happened when i have been at a complete stop, and tried to accelerate. When you cannot…

I had a friend check the vehicle and with the hood up he had me put in reverse and it looked like the motor was going to jump out of the vehicle, same happened in drive. He put his…

There are multiple reports online of issues with stalling when the vehicle switches gears, especially when shifting from park into drive or reverse. It seems to be a sensor issue for everyone, can this please be addressed? It is very expensive to have the labor completed to resolve this issue. Thank you!

For no particular reason my edge decelerates to ten miles an hour while the tach reads 3rpms it has happened on all types of roads and in traffic also. The tranny fluid is always fine. No codes on dash either. I have my gas pedal to the floor and it will only creep at 10 mph. When it reengages it is a large hard jerk forward. One evening as i pulled into my own driveway it wouldn't move forward at all i shut it off…

The nhtsa says vehicles are being prioritized based on the likelihood of danger. Factors include the age of your car and where you live. This is due to the fact that there's a link between malfunctioning air bags and long-term exposure to heat and high humidity. I am in zone b but i am a [redacted] from south carolina. So my question is does that mean because i am 5 miles from south carolina, is my faulty airbag…

I own a 2008 edge with approx. 150,000 miles on it. The car has stalled on me 3 times in the last 3-4 months. The first time the car stalled i was on the freeway during rush hour. Thankfully i was able to restart the care and move it off to the side of the freeway before it stalled again. After having it towed, i was told that the water pump had cracked. The water pump involved a lot of labor and cost me about…

Speedometer stopped working rpms would increase dramatically, wrench, check engine, airbag, and tire pressure lights all came on. Continuing on city street problem remained. Car eventually gained enough speed that rpms went down, but the speedometer still…
