Code p2111 occurs and at stop light engine appears to almost stall. While driving the stability control tuns off, low oil pressure light comes on, and check engine light comes on. Problem goes away while driving after a second. At the stop light, it begins every time you come to the stop light. Ford says nothing is wrong but this appears to be another throttle body issue with ford edges.

While driving in [redacted] in inside lane still moving wanting to make left turn. (awd off light) came on and (wrench icon), lucky enough to limp i did get off the right side into a parking lot. Had to get towed 45 miles to garage. Checked on line it seems from what i could find it may have to with failed throttle body. That is what the service man thought when i called him about it.

This vehicle has an internal water (coolant) pump that failed with no warning or indications of any type. When the pump fails the engine overheats rapidly and the engine shuts down and locks up. At the time of the failure, i was driving at highway speed and was forced to pull over immediately, fortunately traffic was light, or this could have caused a serious and catastrophic accident.

While driving 70 mph on the freeway the engine suddenly completely lost power with no warning what so ever. Luckily we were able to safely pull to the side of the road. This issue could have ended very badly if there was more traffic at the time it happened. After searing the formums many other edge owners have reported this same issue. The throttle body appears to be the faulty part that causes the issue.

While driving car just shuts off, cannot accelerate . Wrench light comes on. I have researched this and numerous fords have same issue. They all come back with throttle body replacement. I called ford motor company to ask about issue and to see if any recalls are out. No was the answer. How can there be no recalls when there are hundreds (probably thousands) having this problem. Ford escape, explorer and some trucks…

While driving down the highway, my 2011 ford edge lost all acceleration and the awd warning light came on with the lighted symbol of a wrench. I was almost rear ended by several cars before i could make it side of road. I had to shut vehicle completely down and restart. This problem continued for several more times. Ford needs to address this problem before several people get killed.

Googled the problem, which suggested turning the vehicle off and on. Looks like everything…

Driving down the interstate at 60mph the car displays a wrench-shaped light in the instrument cluster and goes into "limp home mode," very dangerous as your driving in rush hour traffic. I had cars flying past me in both the fast lane and slow lanes that would not let me over to get to the far right. This was probably one of the scariest things i had ever experienced! Going from 60 to less than 5 mph in a blip…

The car was going full speed 55mph , had no issues leading up to it, i slowed down to run and it completely shut down - no power steering, no acceleration it was dead, the engine was off but the car was still on. Obviously this was a horrible time for it to die. I was able to, barely, make the turn without power steering and…
