2011 FORD EDGE Complaints

DRIVING GETTING READY TO MAKE A TURN, VEHICLE COMPLETELY STALLED OUT, DIDN'T TURN OFF BUT I LOST POWER. HAD NO ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. IMMEDIATELY PUT ON HAZARD LIGHTS, PUT INTO PARK AND TURNED CAR OFF. TURNED CAR BACK ON AND PRECEDED WITH FEAR AND CAUTION. I HAD A SIMILAR INCIDENT AT ABOUT14000 MILES WHEN I TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG. I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE TO WORK IN THE MORNING, IF THIS HAPPENS DURING RUSH HOUR SOMEONE MAY BE INJURED OR WORST. I USUALLY HAVE MY GRAND DAUGHTER WITH ME. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 44,200.

2ND INCIDENT IN 3 WEEKS. FIRST INCIDENT, WAS TRAVELING AT 70 MPH ON A HIGHWAY AND SECOND WAS AT 50 MPH ON A REGIONAL ROUTE. WHILE IN DRIVE, WITHOUT WARNING, AWD OFF APPEARS FOLLOWED BY THE WRENCH ICON INDICATING SERVICE IS NEEDED IMMEDIATELY. THE CAR LOSES ITS ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. ENGINE, BRAKES, RADIO, AC ALL STILL WORK, THE ONLY ISSUE IS AN INABILITY TO ACCELERATE AT ALL SO THE CAR BASICALLY IS IN NEUTRAL AND STARTS LOSING SPEED IMMEDIATELY. HAD TO PUT ON EMERGENCY BLINKERS BOTH TIMES, COAST ACROSS BUSY HIGHWAY LANES TO THE EMERGENCY LANE. TURNED THE CAR OFF AND THEN BACK ON AND IT WAS AS IF NOTHING HAPPENED. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY AS IT COULD BE POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING (THINK IF YOU WERE CROSSING AN INTERSECTION, NEEDED TO SPEED UP TO GET OUT OF THE WAY OF SOMETHING OR WERE ON TRAIN TRACKS). AFTER THE FIRST INCIDENT, I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER WHO RAN A DIAGNOSTIC AND FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. I AM BRINGING IT TO A SEPARATE DEALER AFTER EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE A SECOND TIME. OTHER ISSUES THAT REFERENCE SIMILAR EXPERIENCE CITE A FAULTY THROTTLE BODY WITH ERROR CODE P21111. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY. *TR

SECOND INCIDENT IN 3 WEEKS. WHILE DRIVING, AWD OFF LIGHT APPEARS WHILE THE CAR IS IN DRIVE. ANY ATTEMPT TO ACCELERATE FAILS AND I HAD TO DRIFT THROUGH TRAFFIC TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. TURNING THE CAR OFF AND ON SEEMS TO TEMPORARILY SOLVE THE ISSUE. BROUGHT IT TO A FORD DEALER DURING FIRST INCIDENT AND THEY RAN A DIAGNOSTIC BUT NOTHING CAME UP. THIS ISSUE IS DANGEROUS AND POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING. *TR

AT FIRST, ABOUT A WEEK OR SO AGO, DOOR LOCK SENSOR INDICATED RIGHT FRONT DOOR NOT CLOSED. WARNING APPEARED ON DASH. AUTOMATIC LOCKING AT 10 MPH OK HAPPENED FOR A WHILE, BUT WITHIN PAST FEW DAYS, AUTO LOCK DOES NOT HAPPEN. IN FACT, IF DOOR LOCKED MANUALLY AFTER STARTING, ALL DOORS AUTOMATICALLY UNLOCK WITHIN SECONDS--WHETHER VEHICLE PARKED OR IN MOTION (WITH IGNITION ON). IN SHORT, LOCKING DOORS IS NOT POSSIBLE AND ALL DOORS ARE UNLOCKED WHILE DRIVING. LOCKING DOORS IS ONLY POSSIBLE WHEN VEHICLE IS PARKED AND MOTOR IS OFF. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY, I LOST POWER, A WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON THE DASH AND THE ENGINE CHUGGED. I PULLED OFF AT THE CLOSEST EXIT, FEARING THE CAR WOULD TOTALLY STOP. *TR

THE DOOR AJAR COMES ON & DOORS WILL NOT LOCK. DOME LIGHTS STAY ON LONGER. THIS HAPPENS DAILY!!!!! *TR

DRIVING 43MPH, MY VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING. THE AWD OFF AND WRENCH ICON INDICATORS APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD. I HAD TO SWERVE ONTO THE MEDIAN TO AVOID BEING REAR-ENDED. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN ON JUNE 16, 17, 24 & 25. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT VARYING SPEEDS, FASTER AND SLOWER THAN THE FIRST INCIDENT. IT ENDED UP BEING THE THROTTLE BODY, AND CONVENIENTLY JUST 4000 MILES PAST THE WARRANTY EXPIRATION. I WAS TOLD BY TWO SEPARATE MECHANICS THAT THIS IS SOMETHING THEY'VE SEEN MANY TIMES, AND IF IT WERE ONE OF TWO OTHER FORD MODELS, IT WOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY PLAN BY FORD. IT IS THE SAME PART IN ALL VEHICLES, BUT ONLY COVERED IN CERTAIN MODELS? THIS FAULTY PART IS PUTTING PEOPLE'S LIVES AT RISK, OR AT MINIMUM PUTTING THEM IN UNNECESSARY DANGER OF AN ACCIDENT AND RESULTING FINANCIAL DAMAGES THAT FOLLOW. IF IT'S A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE PART, WHY IS THIS ALLOWED TO CONTINUE? AND WHY ARE ONLY CERTAIN MODELS COVERED? $600 LATER AND I DON'T TRUST THAT MY PROBLEM IS SOLVED. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY WIFE'S 2011 EDGE, WHEN APPLYING BRAKES HEARD A VACUUM LEAK IN THE FLOOR BOARD AREA AND THE BRAKES WERE NONE RESPONSIVE. INCREASED PRESSURE ON THE PEDDLE AND BRAKES LOCKED WITH A JOLT. THESE SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE EDGE. PLEASE REVIEW COMPLAINS AND ISSUE A WARNING TO DRIVERS OF THIS VEHICLE OR ISSUE A FIX TO THE PROBLEM. *TR

DRIVER DOOR LATCH REPORTS DOOR AJAR WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED. THIS PREVENTS DOORS FROM BEING LOCKED WHILE MOVING. THIS CAUSES DOME LIGHTS TO STAY ON AFTER PARKED AND INABILITY TO USE TOUCH LOCK FEATURES. *TR
