Had this exact problem with my 2016 3.5L Ford Edge 2 days ago. Dealer said it left no code and no damage done and could find no problems and that my model Edge wasn't on recall. Called Ford Motor Company and registered a complaint on my Edge. Was told I would be contacted when and if a problem was verified on my model Edge.
