I was driving my ford edge on route 303 in phoenix at about 60 miles per hour when the car suddenly started shaking and losing power. It allowed me to drive a very short distance until i was able to stop the car, in a turn lane with a tractor trailer on my tail ...very disconcerting! A yellow wrench light was showing along with some notice about my traction being off, i believe. After sitting a few minutes i was…

Vehicle has 54,096 miles on it. Power transfer unit failure and transmission failure. Noticed a noise, took it in for repair before it got worse. This seems to be a known and common issue. Very expensive repair with low miles.

Shift to park warning indicator keeps coming on when the vehicle is already in park and the vehicle is shutoff. This causes the whole cluster to light up and will eventually run the battery down leaving a person stranded. Ford is aware of this issue as it occurs on several models. They need to recall this defect in the shifter assembly.

Driving on the highway and i the yellow wrench light came on and i lost power. The vehicle wouldn't accelerate and felt very under powered. Thankfully i was able to pull over turn the vehicle off and restart it. After restarting the problem seemed to go away. This is a very dangerous scenario. Hopefully ford makes it right and has a recall for this common problem. *tr

Car driving at any speed will abruptly show yellow wrench, lose power and acceleration, steering becomes heavy and you have to fight to get the now shaking car to side of road. After switching off ignition, waiting ten seconds, it restarts and runs perfectly for another few weeks. Dealership cannot replicate issue. My research points in throttle body assembly issue. Has happened about 12 times in 18 months. Each of…

During acceleration the car shakes, loses acceleration and cuts out. It has happened 4 times this week (in traffic) to the point where i had to kick on the hazards really quick and find my way to safety. Once it is cut off, put in park and restarted it acts like nothing was ever wrong. The only light that comes on it the yellow wrench on the dash with no other warnings or information.

While driving down the highway, my 2011 ford edge lost all acceleration and the awd warning light came on with the lighted symbol of a wrench. I was almost rear ended by several cars before i could make it side of road. I had to shut vehicle completely down and restart. This problem continued for several more times. Ford needs to address this problem before several people get killed.

When i place the car in park, the p in the dashboard does not turn red and i get an error message in the dash that the car is not in park. If you are unable to get the gear shift to show the p in red, it runs your battery down. This is a common issue with the ford edge; however, the only ones covered to be fixed by the dealer are 2012 thru 2016. Why was the 2011 ford edge not included in the correction required of…

The car will not stay locked; i press the door lock and the doors lock and then immediately unlock so i cannot have my car doors locked while i am driving. This is a constant problem; it is not intermittent. I am very disappointed in this car. I have had to have the throttle body replaced at a cost of $500.00, i have had a brake booster failure…
