2011 FORD EDGE Complaints

THE CAR LOST POWER. WHEN I TURNED IT OFF AND TURNED IT BACK ON, IT STARTED AND RAN FINE. IT HAPPENED AGAIN AND I TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP. THE QUICK SERVICE TECHNICIAN SAID IT SOUNDED LIKE THE THROTTLE BODY. IT HAS HAPPENED A COUPLE OF OTHER TIMES SPORADICALLY. IT HAPPENED 4 TIMES THIS PAST SATURDAY. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND JUST FOUND OUT IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY, WHICH WILL BE REPLACED FOR $622.59. MY CAR IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY AND THERE ARE NO RECALLS FOR THIS THAT THE DEALERSHIP CAN FIND. THOUGH REPAIR PAL INDICATES THERE WAS A RECALL (HTTPS://REPAIRPAL.COM/FORD-EDGE-RECALL-10V659000) AND THE NORTH CAROLINA CONSUMER COUNCIL HAS FILED A PETITION FOR AN INVESTIGATION INTO THIS MATTER. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS AS IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS FOR YOUR CAR TO JUST COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN ON YOU WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING. FORTUNATELY, NO ONE HAS BEEN HURT ANY OF THE TIMES THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME. HAD I BEEN ON THE INTERSTATE, I AM NOT SURE I COULD SAY THE SAME. *TR

I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE INCIDENTS OF MY CAR GOING FROM THE SPEED I AM TRAVELING TO WHERE I AM NO LONGER ABLE TO ACCELERATE WHICH CAUSES MY CAR TO LOOSE SPEED VERY FAST. A YELLOW WRENCH ICON COMES ON EVERYTIME I HAVE THIS ISSUE. MY CAR BEGINS TO SHAKE AND I AM FORCED TO HAVE TO SHUT MY CAR OFF AND WAIT A MOMENT BEFORE I CAN RESTART MY CAR. IT WENT FROM ONCE EVERY TWO WEEKS TO A WEEK TO MULTIPLE TIMES A DAY. MY HOUR DRIVE TURNS INTO MY CAR DIEING UP TO 14 TIMES JUST ONE WAY. THIS IS BEYOND UNSAFE CAUSE IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC ITS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO MAKE IT SAFELY TO A SHOULDER TO SHUT OFF MY CAR. THERE WAS ONE DAY WHERE MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I WAS NOT ABLE TO DRIVE IT FOR A DAY. MY CAR IS 3 YEARS OLD WITH 80K MILES ON IT, THIS IS NOT NORMAL AND SHOULDNT BE HAPPENING. MY CAR HAS BEEN TESTED AND THE READINGS WERE ON THE THROTTLE BODY MODULE. I HAVE NOT TAKEN IT TO A SHOP YET BECAUSE I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR A FAULTY PART THAT FORD HASNT ISSUED A RECALL ON AND REPAIRED WITHOUT MONEY COMING OUT OF MY POCKET. *TR

THE VEHICLE JUST LOOSES POWER. THIS HAPPENS RIGHT IN TRAFFIC WITH NO WARNING. THERE WAS NOT A CRASH THIS TIME BUT IT WAS VERY CLOSE. WE HAD NOWHERE TO GET OFF THE ROAD. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THIS HAS HAPPEN IN THE LAST TWO DAYS. IT APPEARS OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM AND IT IS THE THROTTLE BODY. YOU CAN SHUT THE CAR OFF AND RESTART AND IT IS FINE AGAIN. DEALER SAYS THERE ISN'T A CODE SO THEY CAN'T SAY WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT AND I UNDERSTAND FORD HAS RECALLED OTHER MODELS IN THE SAME YEAR FOR THROTTLE BODY PROBLEMS. *TR

DRIVERS DOOR AJAR LIGHT COMES ON 90% OF THE TIME WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED. IT STARTED ABOUT A MONTH AGO AND IT WOULD DO IT OCCASIONALLY. NOW IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE TO WHERE IT IS PRETTY MUCH EVERY TIME I GET IN THE CAR. THERE ARE TONS OF COMPLAINTS EXACTLY LIKE MINE ABOUT THIS CAR WHEN SEARCHING THE INTERNET. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND FORD SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE. *TR

DOOR AJAR SENSOR STAYS ON WHICH WILL NOT ALLOW MY DOORS TO LOCK WHILE IN DRIVE. WHEN I GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE, THE DOME LIGHTS, PUDDLE LIGHTS, AND HEADLIGHTS STAY ON AFTER LOCKING THE CAR WITH THE REMOTE AND EVENTUALLY DRAINED THE BATTERY. THE ISSUE IS WITH THE DOOR LATCH AND IT WAS ALREADY REPLACED BACK IN 4/12 BUT THE PROBLEM CAME BACK A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO. FROM WHAT IS READ ONLINE THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE AND SHOULD BE RECTIFIED IMMEDIATELY. *TR

MY DOOR AJAR LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON WHEN MY DRIVER SIDE DOOR IS CLEARLY SHUT. LOOKED UP MULTIPLE FORUMS AND FOUND OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. WHY HASN'T THERE BEEN A RECALL? I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY $400 FOR THIS FIX! *TR

WHILE DRIVING DOWN A LOCAL 4-LANE ROAD, THE 2011 FORD EDGE LOST POWER, BECAME UNRESPONSIVE TO THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, AND THE "WRENCH" SYMBOL APPEARED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CAR WOULD STILL MOVE FORWARD (PERHAPS 5 MPH OR LESS), AND WE WERE ABLE GET THE FLASHERS ON AND TO PARK ON A SIDE ROAD. THE SITUATION WAS VERY DIFFICULT AS WE HAD TO CROSS A LANE OF TRAFFIC AT LOW SPEED, WHERE TRAFFIC NORMALLY MOVES AT 40-50 MPH. AFTER LOOKING IN THIS DATA BASE AND AT OTHER INTERNET SOURCES, THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE RELATIVELY COMMON TO THE FORD EDGE, BUT WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER ABOUT IT. *TR

THE "DOOR IS AJAR" (LEFT REAR) WARNING LIGHT IS ON EVEN THOUGH THE LEFT REAR DOOR IS PROPERLY CLOSED AND LOCKED. *TR

DRIVING ON MAJOR HIGHWAY, 55 MPH, ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR JERKS, SLOWS DOWN AND I CANNOT CONTROL THE ACCELERATION. I HAVE TO QUICKLY PULL OVER ONTO GRASSY AREA OUT OF THE WAY OF TRAFFIC. THE AWD SIGNAL CAME ON AND A WRENCH SIGNAL. I QUICKLY TURNED CAR OFF AND RESTARTED AND IT WAS FINE. THIS HAPPENED OVER A MONTH AGO AND DID NOT HAPPEN AGAIN UNTIL YESTERDAY AND THEN AGAIN THIS MORNING. ALL 3 TIMES MY 2 YEAR OLD HAS BEEN WITH ME AND I HAVE BEEN ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY. THIS COULD HAVE HAD DIRE CONSEQUENCES. THE CAR SLOWS DOWN SO QUICKLY THAT IF ANYONE WAS CLOSELY BEHIND ME THEY CERTAINLY WOULD HAVE REAR-ENDED ME. LOOKING ONLINE THIS SEEMS TO BE QUITE THE ISSUE, YET THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL?? THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE! *TR

THE DRIVERS DOOR IS CLOSED BUT THE SWITCH INDICATES OPEN SO THE DOORS DO NOT LOCK; THE DOME LIGHTS STAYED ON WHEN DRIVING AFTER DARK AND MADE IT DIFFICULT TO SEE. ALSO, THE DOME LIGHTS STAYED ON AND RAN THE BATTERY DOWN OVERNIGHT. *TR
