Tuesday night 1/22/2019, my daughter described that her car had lost all power while she was driving down a small mostly deserted street in our town when she braked and attempted to turn. She had an extremely difficult time braking and turning the car to get off of the roadway. So, that same evening, i decided to see if it happened to me. It was noted that she had just over a quarter tank of gas so i thought maybe…

Stalls and won't accelerate while going down the road. Just idles real rough. Can only coast to a stop. Can't steer. Wrench comes on the display. Everything i have read said it is probably the throttle body. Has less than 40,000 miles.

The aws light stays on and says the driver stability controls are not working properly. Took it to a ford dealership for servicing, charged 800 plus and the issue is still occurring. They claim it's a sensor issue but it's still happening! If i turn left or right the warning light comes on, if it's wet or dry the light comes on and when breaking the suv slides. Will never purchase another ford again. Not sure of the…

This is the second report i have made about this issue. The first was on/about set. 26, 2015. When i was driving, the car in motion, the power train malfunction indicator (a wrench) comes on, the car loses all power, goes down to perhaps 2 miles per hour, and then stops. It feels as though the power steering also goes out. When the car stops, it shakes and jerks. You cannot accelerate. I turn the motor off and then…

When driving the car just shuts off. No power steering, now brakes no…

We have had a problem with our ford edge going into limp mode while driving. Luckily it has been at low speeds so we were able to pull over and turn off vehicle. Il when this problem happens, it idles very roughly and it like it loses its mind. You cannot accelerate and a wrench pops up on the dash. When you turn off vehicle and turn it back on, it's fine. *tr

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…

In december of 2013 i noticed the steering on my ford edge was acting up and occasionally the power steering would go away for a short period time. This issue almost caused a couple accidents because the car would not react when turned. The dealership added more power steering fluid and the issue went away for a little while but would still sometimes show the same signs of being hard to steer. A few months later a…

The power steering does not work properly at low speeds. This is identfied in ford's tsb 10-21-1 steering the vehicle is very difficult. I'm concerned that the ability to properly control the vehicle at low or high speeds may become a problem. This is a major safety concern. By issuing a tsb, i believe ford is acknowledging that there is a potential safety problem with the power steering system - a major component…

Replaced power steering pump under warranty (ext. Warranty was purchased at time of sale). November 12, 2014…

When faced with a situation that requires brisk accelleration, ie., passing, the car exhibits a strong tendency to steer to the right, torque steer. This has occured at a level that causes the driver to immediately take his foot off the gas pedal causing a reversal of the direction the car wants to go, right to left, and jeopardizes the completion of the passing move. As this occurs with the vehicle in the opposite…

During acceleration, vehicle pulls to the right with steering wheel turn to the right. Pulling happens regardless of accelerating from stop or moving. The harder the acceleration, the harder the pull. During coasting and braking, vehicle travels straight. *tr

My vehicle is a ford edge 2011. I just received this fleet vehicle in december. Recently (february) noticed the alignment was drastically off. In order to go straight, the wheel was cranked all the way to the left. I took it into firestone redondo beach to get checked for alignment when they informed me that there was no way a pot hole or bump changed the alignment by that much. They stated that the jam nut on the…

This time the service manager came to me and…
