While driving the all wheel drive shuts down and you have no power. I shut the engine off and re-start. It worked for about 100 yards and did it again. It did this 7 times in less than 10 miles. It did not do it again for about 10 days. Then it did it 5 times in less than 2 miles. It happens at various speeds. Both in manual and automatic. This past weekend it happened another 3 times while out of town on a…

While driving around 65mph, the vehicle suddenly went into "limp" mode with no ability to maintain speed. I was on a 3 lane bridge without a shoulder and it was difficult to navigate the vehicle safely through traffic from the far left lane, across the bridge, and onto the upcoming shoulder. The red "wrench" light came on along with the "awd" light. Pressing the gas pedal had no impact to rpm's (which stayed around…

While driving the car the car 'stalled' meaning i had no ability to accelerate the car, all other items worked ok, an amber wrench light came on, i pulled over, restarted the car and it worked fine. It happened again 3 days later approx the same speed. Seeming this has been an issue among other ford edge cars. *tr

Driving down the street and vehicle acts like it is running out of gas or vapor locking. Accelerator all the way down and vehicle slowing down to a stop. Wrench light comes on vehicle and take to ford dealership for repair. I feel like this should be covered under warranty due to the fact that several other throttles have reported going out on this year model. *tr

I have also had it slip & clunk while shifting gears 2) there is a loud popping from the front end, passenger side, when i am turning, especially in & out of parking spots 3) there is a whistle coming from under…

Engine stalled on interstate. Had to pull into the emergency lane, shift to park, and restart. Appears to be the same issue that ford has recalled for other models that use the same defective part! Car was taken to dealer after this occurred, however the error codes do not retain after restarting. No trouble was found, could not replicate. Have had subsequent stalls since, going back to dealer wednesday this week,…

I purchased this certified pre owned 2011 ford edge and 3000 miles into owning it the drive train has repeatedly slipped and when it engages it slams. This seems to happen at any time mostly from after stopping and sometimes as the car is just driving at low speeds. I`m taking it in for this soon but from these other postings i don`t feel so good about what to expect. *tr

As i was leaving work and pulled out of the parking lot onto the main road and my car stalled after reaching approx 10-15 mph indicating me to "see manual" with a wrench on the screen then flashing "check engine oil pressure". As i came to a complete stop my edge began to shake violently and the rpm's began to jump up and down frantically. I then turned my edge off for 30 seconds. When i restarted it, it started…

I own a 2011 ford edge with 39,000 miles on it. Three days ago i was driving on a relatively busy road going 65 mph when all of a sudden my edge seemed like it lost all power to it. The "see manual" with a wrench screen came up on my dashboard, as my car slowly began to stop. Upon stopping it began to shake and rumble violently. I put the car in park, and back into drive to start driving again. When i pushed the gas…

Two weeks ago my ford edge limited (2011), which i had for less than 2 years and it had ~21000mi, started to have serious problems. While driving on one of the busiest highways in houston, the acceleration suddenly disappeared (gas pedal went limp) when i was going 65-70mph. The car still had power and i was able to break and steer to the emergency lane. While doing that, almost got hit from the back twice. After…

Driving at highway speed, engine shutdown and vehicle had immediate loss of power. No visible alert for surrounding traffic to avoid collision. Engine did not turn off, but acceleration was not possible. I turned the car completely off, waited a few minutes, restarted, and was able to proceed at normal speed onto the interstate before it occurred again. Dealership thought they had it fixed on monday. They said it…

This is the 3rd time in the past 3 months that my ford edge has stalled. The first two times were on the highway going 55mph. This time was in my neighborhood going 35mph. Car just sporadically goes "limp" and loses all acceleration, with wrench light coming on. Have been able to coast to side of road each time. Ford refuses to fix. They keep saying they can't duplicate the problem. I'm going to get killed in this…

My wife was driving home from work on the freeway when all of a sudden her vehicle went "limp". While the vehicle was in "limp' mode there was no acceleration and you can feel huge vibrations as if the engine was about to die. She was forced to maneuver her way through three lanes of traffic with her hazards on in order to get to a "safe" spot. The only way she was able to get out of the situation was to turn off…

Husband came to the scene and attempted to restart car and drive it. Same thing happened again. Had car…
