After researching ford edge research there were so many complaints of people having the same thing occur to them. My car will start and be driving then all of a sudden the car literally looses all power and the car shuts down. This has happened to me twice and it appears that ford doesn't want to issue a recall on this. People's lives are in danger, there is no warning of when this will happen and then you stuck…

While driving, the check engine light illuminates along with a sudden loss of power indicating "limp" mode has been entered. Power off the car followed by restart seems to clear the code and allow normal operation with good engine power. Electronic throttle body seems to be the culprit. This is a rather dangerous occurrence when driving on busy, crowded streets and freeways. This has happened multiple times. Most…

Repeated problem with this vehicle. First door ajar light has been repaired because it would not shut off the interior lights (not legal to drive with them on) and therefore drained battery. Safety hazard. Ecoboast failed and we were told by the dealer that it was a safety hazard and that we could not drive the car....big expense! Now a second door ajar light won't go off....doors do not lock while the vehicle is…

My check engine light is on, shows code p0299 which refers to an underboost condition with the turbo or supercharger system. My mechanic spoke to a dealership who stated they've put 3 parts in the vehicle they have in the shop and its still not fixed. Sounds like its a common issue. Can you investigate for a recall?

On five occasions recently, moving at normal speed on city streets, suddenly lost power and would only crawl along to curb. I stopped the engine, waited a few moments, and started again.
