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…

The suv gave me a blinking engine light. Decoding to a misfire problem. The first time i had the car looked at they replaced the coil packs. About 10,000 miles later i got the same misfire problem. Some of the coil packs were melted. I had the suv towed to a garage and they said the engine control module is defective. They replaced the control module for $1500.00. Yikes. Dealer told me that ford motor company knows…

Tuesday night 1/22/2019, my daughter described that her car had lost all power while she was driving down a small mostly deserted street in our town when she braked and attempted to turn. She had an extremely difficult time braking and turning the car to get off of the roadway. So, that same evening, i decided to see if it happened to me. It was noted that she had just over a quarter tank of gas so i thought maybe…

On friday september 28, 2018, our 2011 ford edge limited lost the ability to accelerate and began decelerating on a freeway while being driven at 60 mph. My husband had to "coast" off the freeway and came to a dead stop without any warning (e.g. No check engine or other lights turned on) in the middle of a busy intersection, at which time the engine began smoking. Many hours later we were informed by a service…

The manual stated that, "if this warning stays illuminated, then it means that the car is due for a service maintenance. If the warning continues to blink, then service immediately." i continued to drive for another 5 miles and noticed that the car was idling low and running…
