The engine died, as i was driving the car down the interstate. The steering wheel locked as i tried to exit and my car drifted into oncoming traffic. Fortunately there was no accident but when i was finally able to get the car to the side of the road it was severely smoking and i had to get myself and my daughter out of the car immediately. Also, the head gaskets and radiator blew and now there is a major electrical…

(on multiple occasions )my 2011 ford edge upon accleration the vehicle loses the abiltiy to acclerate - shudders and the check engine flashes or stays on. Supposedly could not find the "code" that caused it. I have had the vehicle into 2 different dealer ships - one replaced the transfer case, the other the catalytic converter and ignition coils- to the cost of over 600.00 on a used certified vehicle. Less than a…

While driving the car will suddenly lose power ( not accelerate ). The wrench light will come on. You must try to safely coast to side of road and turn ignition off and restart. This happens intermittently and is very dangerous in heavy traffic and at higher speeds. This has occurred on interstate highway and city driving. Dangerous also when there is not enough room to pull off road safely. We have taken car to…

Transmission will not shift into park. Dealership employee told me that this happens so often in ford edge and explorer that they have to keep the affected parts in stock constantly. This is clearly a safety defect and could result in serious consequences because the car would be left in gear without the transmission being locked. Ford motor company should correct this problem immediately before serious injury or…

My husband and i were driving home (going approximately 40 mph) with our 2 year old and all of the sudden the car lost power. It did not die but wouldn't go over 5 mph. Thankfully, we were close to home and not on a busy highway. If we had been on a busy highway i do believe it would have cause an accident and that terrifies me since this is our primary family vehicle. I have read that ford extended the warranty for…

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…

On a friday afternoon in busy, fast moving highway traffic, i began a lane change to turn right off of the highway onto a neighborhood street. My car jolted then abruptly lost all acceleration. I did have electrical power and power steering, but no speed. I was able to creep along at snail pace staying to the far right. I put on my flashers, and fortunately all traffic behind me could safely manuever around to pass…

Turning off and restarting the vehicle clears the error and makes the car operable again. This…

When driving the car, it just periodically lost acceleration ability. I was driving about 35-40 mph when it happened the first time. I then coasted into a parking lot off the road and shut off the car for a few minutes. At that time the wrench symbol came on the display referring me to my manual for further information, which told me that it was a powertrain problem and to contact a dealer for service. It then…

The next day (7/20/15), when we drove the suv to the dealership, it happened a 3rd time. Galpin ford (n hills, ca)…

Vehicle lost power pulling out in traffic (so glad i didnt get hit), would not accelerate and the yellow wrench appeared on the instrument panel. Only way to correct problem was to restart engine (this happened 3 times trying to get home). The third time the service engine soon light came on and i was able to pull the codes and had a p2111 and a p2112. After looking into this issue it looks really common why would…
