    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…

    I was driving with my two children on the highway going 65 miles per hour/average speed limit when all of a sudden my car acceleration went limp and the car engine stalled. The accelerator pedal no longer worked and a little orange wrench flashed in the digital dash. There was no warning. I put on my hazards. Shut off the ar, then restarted and it was fine. This happened two more times. Ford dealership can't find…

    I attempted to park behind a parked vehicle. I backed out of a driveway approx 60' from the parked car and when i put the car in drive the engine started to race & rev very quickly (6 - 7 rpm) like the accelerator was stuck. The car raced forward and would not stop until it hit the parked vehicle. I tried to brake immediately but the car continued to move forward. I applied both feet with more pressure on the brake…

    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…

    Was driving in morning rush hour traffic going about 50mph on a highway. Car lost all acceleration and went "limp" without any notice. Wrench light came on. Was able to get car to side of road before it completely stopped. It was very frightening as cars were close behind me and could have easily rear-ended me. Husband came to the scene and attempted to restart car and drive it. Same thing happened again. Had car…
