Certified pre-owned 2011 ford edge limited awd. Purchased in nov. 2014. On monday, june 8, 2015 as i was driving at 55 mph, a light came on on the left hand side of the instrument panel. The light said "awd off" and had a little wrench symbol on it. The car abruptly lost power and i just coasted out of the way of traffic and onto the side of the road because there was no shoulder. I tried to press the gas pedal but…

The first time the problem occurred i was driving down a street and had slowed to make a left turn into a retail establishment. Just as i made the turn the vehicle shuddered slightly and immediately lost forward momentum - it was like the vehicle was in neutral - i had no acceleration. A wrench appeared on my driver's display. I was able to pull to a stop and i shut the vehicle off. After several minutes i attempted…

On several occasions the vehicle lost all acceleration and power to the engine. Yellow wrench showed there was a warning, and check engine light flashed, but upon turning off the car (the main electronics ie:radio/ac still worked) and restarting it resumed "normal" functions and driving. We had several times this happened to us. All of the occurrences happened in the middle of accelerating and at different speeds.…

Car almost shuts down, you can drive it at 1 mph or restart & it works fine. Engine light does come on. Had it towed to dealership & they couldn't find anything wrong. We are both handicap, it's are only car & shuts off daily. Dealership can not do anything unless we bring it, take a mechanic with us & it happens while he is in the car!! *tr

While driving through an intersection, vehicles stalled. "awd fail" light exhibited. Turned off ignition and restarted. Second event, same circumstances, again had to coast to side of intersection to restart. Same indications. Took to dealership and diagnosed as throttle body failure. Had to be replaced. Concerns: (1) safety (2) throttle body should not be failing with this few miles (3) ford forum indicates that…

This is the second time i have experienced a complete loss of acceleration. I brought my car to local ford dealer about a month ago and they installed a software update and said that should fix the problem but the problem occurred again today. Luckily both times i was in a place where i was able to pull off the road. These are the symptoms: 1. Sudden and complete loss of acceleration while traveling at speed 2.…

The vehicle just looses power. This happens right in traffic with no warning. There was not a crash this time but it was very close. We had nowhere to get off the road. This is the third time this has happen in the last two days. It appears other people have had this problem and it is the throttle body. You can shut the car off and restart and it is fine again. Dealer says there isn't a code so they can't say what…

My vehicle all of a sudden slowed down to a coast and would not accelerate. A yellow icon appeared and informed me that i needed to take the vehicle in to the dealer asap, there is a malfunction in the vehicle's awd system. I was able to pull over to the side of the road and turn of the car. The car then started and i was able to get home. When i brought the car over to the dealership i got hit with a $1,000 bill,…

Accelerator became unresponsive in heavy traffic at speed creating a very dangerous situation. The engine was running but you were unable to accelerate, had to maneuver out of traffic on to the shoulder of the road and wait in high volume traffic to be towed. *tr

I was driving 25 miles per hour on a major roadway and for no reason the car lost acceleration. The engine began to shake and gasp. After i lost power to the engine i could only drive one mile an hour to try to get off the road in heavy traffic. I did not get in an accident but it could have easily happened. A yellow warning wrench icon appeared. I turned off the car. I restarted the car and the problem resolved. I…

Was driving in busy residential area and the car started to shudder and eventually lost all power to the engine and the dashboard displayed a wrench symbol. It seemed like it was going to stall. I was able to get to the side of the road. I then turned the engine off and upon restarting was able to drive the short distance to the dealer. The dealer performed a pcm reprogram. Per the diagnostic notes, after getting a…

While driving at highway speeds on an interstate, there was a sudden loss of accelerator power. I was able to maneuver the vehicle to the side of the road, park, shut the engine off, and restart with seemingly no repeatable affect. Dealer not able to reproduce the problem but says that it's probably the throttle body. This loss of power and required shoulder maneuver could have caused a significant crash due to…

While accelerating from a red light, my 2011 ford edge became unresponsive and would not accelerate, as if going limp. Car then rode rough and sputtered as we pulled over on the side of the road. After turning off the engine i restarted the car and all was fine. I had it towed to the dealership who diagnosed the problem as a faulty throttle body. *js

While driving in traffic at approximately 40 mph, the engine suddenly went into safe mode and the vehicle slowed causing following traffic to take evasive action to avoid the car. Although it was difficult in traffic, i was able to move to the right lane and then into a gas station parking lot without significant incident. I shut the engine down and restarted. The wrench alarm was gone and the engine ran normally. I…

While driving around 65mph, the vehicle suddenly went into "limp" mode with no ability to maintain speed. I was on a 3 lane bridge without a shoulder and it was difficult to navigate the vehicle safely through traffic from the far left lane, across the bridge, and onto the upcoming shoulder. The red "wrench" light came on along with the "awd" light. Pressing the gas pedal had no impact to rpm's (which stayed around…

Driving on i-65 in an area with 4-5 lanes of traffic with a speed zone of 65 mph when the vehicle lost power - wrench light warning light came on - had to maneuver the vehicle across 3 lanes of traffic during rush hour to reach the emergency lane. It was sheer luck that i made it to the emergency lane without being hit by another vehicle as i could not speed up the car and the speed was nearing zero mph. The vehicle…

The throttle body failed while i was driving about 65 miles per hour on interstate 65. This fail happened at an extremely busy portion of i-65 as you leave indiana and cross into louisville, ky. Luckily, the time of day was approximately 1:30 p.m. So traffic was rather light. If this had happened during rush hour, i would not have been able to get my car off the interstate and over to an emergency lane. Who knows…

The power steering does not work properly at low speeds. This is identfied in ford's tsb 10-21-1 steering the vehicle is very difficult. I'm concerned that the ability to properly control the vehicle at low or high speeds may become a problem. This is a major safety concern. By issuing a tsb, i believe ford is acknowledging that there is a potential safety problem with the power steering system - a major component…
