While driving at approx. 45 mph, the awd off light appeared, than a wrench appeared. I could no longer accelerate and coasted over to the side of the road. I turned my car off. I restarted my car and continued driving. I am glad i wasn't on a business road and was able to get to the side of the road safely. I hope somebody doesn't have to die before they acknowledge this issue.

Fortunately there was no accident but when i was finally able to get the car to the side of the road it was severely smoking and i had to get myself and my daughter out of the car immediately. Also, the head gaskets and radiator blew and now there is a major electrical…

(on multiple occasions )my 2011 ford edge upon accleration the vehicle loses the abiltiy to acclerate - shudders and the check engine flashes or stays on. Supposedly could not find the "code" that caused it. I have had the vehicle into 2 different dealer ships - one replaced the transfer case, the other the catalytic converter and ignition coils- to the cost of over 600.00 on a used certified vehicle. Less than a…

While driving the powertrain error code (wrench icon) pops up and my cars loses all acceleration. I'm forced to try to get to the shoulder of the road while coasting and then once stopped if i take my key out and reinsert and start the car everything is fine.

I left my house in the morning on 11/6 and after a short drive the "awd off" and a "little wrench" light came on and the car lost power and just stopped in the middle of the street since i was trying to go up a hill. Thankfully no one was behind me!! It started to run very rough so i turned it off quickly, waited a few seconds and restarted it. The car then ran ok and got me to work and home again but when my…

While driving the car will suddenly lose power ( not accelerate ). The wrench light will come on. You must try to safely coast to side of road and turn ignition off and restart. This happens intermittently and is very dangerous in heavy traffic and at higher speeds. This has occurred on interstate highway and city driving. Dangerous also when there is not enough room to pull off road safely. We have taken car to…

My husband and i were driving home (going approximately 40 mph) with our 2 year old and all of the sudden the car lost power. It did not die but wouldn't go over 5 mph. Thankfully, we were close to home and not on a busy highway. If we had been on a busy highway i do believe it would have cause an accident and that terrifies me since this is our primary family vehicle. I have read that ford extended the warranty for…

This is the second report i have made about this issue. The first was on/about set. 26, 2015. When i was driving, the car in motion, the power train malfunction indicator (a wrench) comes on, the car loses all power, goes down to perhaps 2 miles per hour, and then stops. It feels as though the power steering also goes out. When the car stops, it shakes and jerks. You cannot accelerate. I turn the motor off and then…

While driving the engine stalls, running only in a rough idle. The awd off warning light comes on along with a warning light showing a wrench icon. The vehicle will only move 1 - 2 miles per hour, which is very dangerous in traffic or at an intersection! This happens at different speeds in city driving (i feel it is too dangerous to drive at fast highway speeds and no longer feel safe in this vehicle!) i understand…
