We were traveling on a highway when all of a sudden we lost "power" but it was only the ability to go. There was enough traffic and lack of speed to prohibit from moving all the way over to the shoulder. We made it to the slowest lane (furthest right hand lane). The only thing that saved us from being rear ended was there was a sheriff near by and saw us broke down stranded and he helped direct traffic around us for…

It appeared to me that the engine disconnected from the drive train. A box lit up on the dash saying. "all wheel drive off." the vehicle continued to creep at an extremely slow speed. I stopped and turned off the engine. I started the engine again and the vehicle seemed fine. I did not have another incident for a few weeks. Sunday july 13 it stopped probably a dozen times on a 10 mile round trip. Since then it…

I was driving and my throttle went away completely with no warning. I was in the middle of a busy intersection with my 1 year old daughter in the car. I put my flashers on and drifted backwards trying to get off the road and hurried to get my daughter out of the car in case we were hit. After a mechanic scanned it he said the throttle body was bad. After some research i discovered that ford knows this is a problem…

Driving 43mph, my vehicle stalled while driving. The awd off and wrench icon indicators appeared on the dashboard. I had to swerve onto the median to avoid being rear-ended. This happened again on june 16, 17, 24 & 25. This has happened at varying speeds, faster and slower than the first incident. It ended up being the throttle body, and conveniently just 4000 miles past the warranty expiration. I was told by two…

I was driving when i lost acceleration. A wrench light came up on my screen. Thankfully my brakes still worked and i was able to coast to a stop, almost getting rear ended by a semi, but then the whole motor started shaking and sputtering. I put my vehicle in park and turned it off. When i went to turn it back on it hesitated for a minute, but then started. This didn't happen again until a few weeks later while on…

On 10 occasions, while driving the engine stalled and i could not accelerate. The "awd off" and engine icon would light up. In all incidents, i was able to pull over to the shoulder and avoid a rear end collision. I had the car serviced at a ford dealer, they had to replace the throttle body. They indicated that most of their issues regarding the ford edge has been related to a defected throttle body. *tr

During driving, the engine stopped and car would not accelerate, there was a complete loss of power. There was no warning, and the "yellow wrench" light came on, and car would not go. This was in the middle of the road and could not get off of the road. It happened so quickly, there was no time to react to try to pull over. Lost steering and couldn't move anywhere. Waited for 1 min or so, and restarted car. *tr

Simultaneously, a yellow wrench warning light appeared. I pulled into a parking lot and let the engine run, it remained running rough at a very slow speed. I continued for about a minute, then shut the…
