While driving my 2011 ford edge with 59k miles the engine cut out on me. After pulling to the shoulder and shutting off the car it restarted after a few minutes. This happened on 3 different occasions before i was able to take it to the dealer. After two days they were able to tell me it was a faulty throttle body and not covered under the warranty. How can there be recalls for other ford models with the same…

This is now the seventh time i've lost all power while driving. The car completely shuts down, steering becomes uncontrollable and the oil pressure light comes on. I've taken to the dealership and i'm being told the car has no codes of what happened and they can't repair. I'm not sure how a computer doesn't register a low oil pressure light or how it's not hard coded somewhere in the computer system that the car…
