    Throttle body assembly failed. The 2012 ford edge uses the exact same defective throttle body assembly as used in the escape and fusion which were both included in the extended warranty program. Ford should include all models that used this part in its extended warranty program or better yet issue a recall. In my opinion it's dangerous pulling out into highway traffic only to lose power. Many other dangerous…

I had the exact same thing happen with my ford fusion. It is extremely dangerous…

    As i pulled into the parking deck at my office (going less than 10 mph), i suddenly had little ability to steer, nothing happened when i pressed the gas and the "low oil" light came on. I was able to coast to a stop and just barely steer clear of nearby vehicles. Restarted the car and was able to back into a parking spot. Drove it to the dealer where they spent the entire day trying to replicate the issue to no…

I carried the car to the ford…
