The transmission will disengage and you have 0 power. This has happened 6 times. Sometimes it will be at 50mph and sometimes it will be from a stop which is extremely dangerous because you cannot accelerate. You have to pull over, shift to park or neutral, turn off the car, then restart the car and it works again. If this happened while turning left at a busy light and the car lost power it could be catastrophic.

While driving my 2013 ford edge at 70mph on the highway in traffic i received a wrench notification on my dash and the engine began to stall leaving me with no power to control my speed. As my car quickly reduced speed on a major highway i attempted to get over to the shoulder out of harms way. Once i was off the highway the vehicle began to shake and i powered down the vehicle. When starting the vehicle again i was…

Was driving the car and the accelerator just goes dead. This is the second time in 3 years it has happened while driving 65 mph. Very scary. Have to cruise to side of the road as the gas peddle will not respond at all. Ford already charged us $750 to fix in 2016 and now it has happened again. Very unsafe electronic throttle body was already replaced once unexceptable

Driving home on a local street that allowed 25mph - i was going 23 mph the wrench light came up the car started shaking and the speed reduced to under 5ph. I managed to pull the car over, put it in gear and turn it off, took the keys out and waited for about 5 minutes and started the car - the light went off and i was able to drive myself home. I'm afraid to drive it again. Next to the wrench light was a message to…

Vehicle was running fine as i pulled out of my driveway onto a state highway. Once i attempted to accelerate the vehicle started sputtering and acted like it was going to die. An orange wrench appeared on my dash and said "see manual". I was able to turn the vehicle around and going about 2 miles an hour made it back into my driveway...it continued sputtering and knocking till i parked it. Once parked the vehicle…

While driving the vehicle on a main thorough fare and even on a highway it began to lose power and slow down regardless of pressing the gas. Then it began to ride rough and choke and the check engine light comes on along with the low oil pressure light. Also experienced it shutting off while sitting with it idle in a fast food line. When i took it to the dealer they insisted nothing was wrong and could not get a…

Traveling on secondary road and experienced sudden power loss. "awd off" message appeared on screen, along with wrench icon. I managed to limp onto the shoulder (thank god i was not on the highway). Car would not rev up or move. I turned the engine off, and restarted it. Everything seemed to be fine at that point, but i am very afraid of this happening during my daily commute on a busy highway.

Gear case is too close to the catalytic converter and the gear fluid is heating up and blowing out of the breather tube. Gear case holds 12 oz of fluid and no way to tell how much is still left inside. Could damage the transmission. I was told by the ford dealership that this equipment should never have to be fixed or replaced. It is a ford design flaw. Ford company will not accept responsibility.

While driving we lost all power and the wrench icon with "see manual" appeared on the dash. The wrench icon is a powertrain fault alert. It's obviously dangerous to lose power while driving and be stuck in traffic and with our children in the car it's a little more nerve-racking. Pressing the gas does nothing to the rpms when this happened. The engine was idling rough and sputtering. (plenty of gas in the car). Car…

Leaking ptu. $1800 to repair. Read on internet that's it's a well known problem caused by a design issue. There is no way to drain flush and refill the ptu apparently some companies are drilling and tapping the unit to add a needed plug. Ford was not interested in addressing the problem. My case number with ford is cas 13398813

When the problem started about 1 1/2 months ago, i would be driving and the car would simply begin slowing down until it was stopped, no matter how much gas i tried to give it. After this happening 2 times and the check engine light coming on, i took it to the dealership and they said the fuel pump was faulty and changed it. I got the car back approx. 2 weeks ago. Last friday, 10/6/17, i was on my way home from work…

2nd time i get the shift to park error. Ford fixed it 1 time already under warranty and now i have the same issue again and it's out of warranty. If you don't resolve the issue before you leave the vehicle, it will kill your battery.
