the throttle body has failed, suspected by me doing research going back 11 years of the Ford Edge almost killing people while driving it. confirmed by my local ford dealership that i do infact need a new throttle body and gaskets. it goes into limp mode, the car loses power and stops working in the middle of driving 50 mph. No check engine light remains on, only a wrench icon appears until you restart the car, then the car works again for another 30 miles or until it wants to cause a major accident again. This is a HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. My car will jolt down to 10 mph, as if I slammed the brakes, while driving, not even having my foot on the gas, down the HIGHWAY where the speed limit it 55. THIS IS A KILLING MACHINE. I only have moments to pull over to the median or somewhere before I cause a major accident. They have recalled the 2009 through 2013 ford fusion and escape, as well as the milan and mariner because of the same issue. I have read hundreds of accounts online of the same thing happening in Edges... how can you allow this to go unchecked.

Brake pedal goes almost to floor. It has a little engagement at the top pedal then becomes spongy then stopping power at the bottom of pedal. Also there is a "thump" sound when you first press the pedal. When you let off rmr pedal there is a whistle. The booster was replaced during an extended warranty several years ago.

There is a bump sound and the engine goes into Limp Mode. The wrench symbol appears. After stopping and shutting down the engine, it will start normally and continue to run normally. Problem is when it happens on a heavily traveled road and there is a distance before one can turn off.

I've had the car for a year and it suddenly loses power during acceleration and Is throwing the P0299 turbocharger code. I was getting on the interstate when the car did this the 1st and 2nd times. It was a very busy time of day and my car suddenly decellerated in front of an 18 wheeler with my kids in the car. NO MATTER how hard I hit the gas it would not go and I almost got ran over by a tractor trailer. I had to slam on brakes and squeeze between the on ramp and a bridge guardrail to not be hit.

On 8-15-21 as I was driving, I was suddenly unable to break properly and had to depress the peddle almost down to the floor to engage the breaks. This happened one isolated time one month prior but went away. I had the car towed to Walnut Creek CA Ford for service where after multiplier test drives replicated the problem, flushed the break line and determined I needed a new HCU because of a sticking valve. I researched the issue and discovered this exact issue was the subject of a Ford recall in 2019 but of other models not including mine. I called Ford to see if they would cover the cost since it was a safety issue that they recognized in a very large recent recall that was the result of over 25 accidents and multiple deaths. Ford refused to cover the cost. NHTSA should be aware of this safety issue because it is effecting more cars than covered.
