Certified pre-owned 2011 ford edge limited awd. Purchased in nov. 2014. On monday, june 8, 2015 as i was driving at 55 mph, a light came on on the left hand side of the instrument panel.

I was driving vehicle up a slight grade at 30mph. Engine power suddenly dropped to an idle rpm. It felt like it was running on 1 cylinder and very rough. I was able to "creep" the car to the side of road. Pressing on the accelerator in neutral or drive had no effect. A "wrench" warning icon appeared on the indicator panel. Shutting off and restarting the car allowed us to drive home. This occurred two times within 2…

While driving down a busy [redacted] in wilmington nc, the service powertrain engine light came one. At that point, there was no longer any power to the wheels of the vehicle. The only thing that could be done was to steer to the median and shut down the car. This created a very dangerous condition in which the driver was unable to actively continue safely to the side of the road. When the car was restarted, the…
