This has recurred 3 times in the last 3 weeks. The last time it happened, i was backing out of my driveway and the car started jerking, wouldn't accelerate and the wrench light came on. I turned the vehicle off, waited a couple of seconds, restarted it and it worked great. The time before i was going about 55 mph and the car did the same thing. I pulled over to the side of the road, turned it off and restarted and…

Alarm and dash icon warn driver to shift into park. I pull off the road and shift into park with no problem apparent in the shift or transmission. This alarm is recurrent mostly when moving on the roadway and occasionally when car is still. This problem according to the ford dealer is a defective switch in the shifter lever assembly. This is a $325 repair and too complex to complete myself. This issue is distracting…

I was unable to come to a complete stop and hit a cone in nyc. After, it was extremely difficult to come to a complete stop. The car was able to slow down but it took time. I drove slow and away from others. The brakes were hard and made noise when i pushed down on the brakes. When i went to the dealer, they informed me that ford has an extended warranty on the part and i asked why wasn't the part recalled if it put…

On multiple occasions starting in the beginning of the year my car started stalling and would just cut off in the middle of the street. It happened many times after that so i took it to my local firestone because my car was out of warranty. They suggested it may be bad gas and they did a throttle body flush. So between the flush and using mid grade gas from a different station it worked for about 1,000 miles then…

Vehicle experiences extremely hard transmission shifts. When slowing down and going to speed back up, transmission appears to shift into wrong gear causing vehicle to bang hard then shift into correct gear to the point the entire vehicle shakes/feels like you were hit. Vehicle also engages hard into 1st/2nd gear when coasting and reapplying gas. I have experienced the hard shift into gear issue multiple times (at…

After seeing the recent issues w/ the ford v6 ecoboost engine, i thought it wise to tell about the 2.0l ecoboost engine in my edge. After owning the vehicle less than a year, i was driving thru a neighborhood at a very slow pace, i started to make a right turn & the car simply died. No shaking, no warning. Lost all power steering & engine compression. Turned off, restarted & all was well. Took to dealership the next…

Purchased this car brand new. The transmission has been a problem from the start. Driving under normal, dry conditions when throttle is decelerated and then a slight pause before acceleration the car slams hard into gear when you begin to throttle again. The first event the dealership "flashed the computer" and said that would fix it. The second incident has netted no results. The dealer had my car for 10 days…
