2011 FORD EDGE Complaints

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND THE GAS PEDAL BECAME UNRESPONSIVE. "SEE MANUAL" WARNING LIGHT WITH A WRENCH ICON CAME ON. PULLED CAR OVER, AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AT WHICH TIME THE CAR DROVE NORMALLY. TOOK IT TO LOCAL DEALERSHIP, WHERE THEY WERE UNABLE TO PULL THE ERROR CODE. CONTINUED DRIVING VEHICLE AND ERROR OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY. TODAY, OCCURRED TWICE ON MY DRIVE IN TO WORK (5 MILES), THE SECOND TIME THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK VEHICLE TO AUTOZONE, THEY PULLED A P2111 CODE. HAVING THROTTLE BODY SERVICED TOMORROW AT LOCAL REPAIR SHOP. THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED TODAY WAS IN AN INTERSECTION - VERY NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. THIS THROTTLE BODY FAILURE SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE. I FIND IT VERY CURIOUS THAT THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL YET AS THIS IS CLEARLY A WIDESPREAD ISSUE AND IT IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

DRIVER'S DOOR SENSOR FAILED - CAR WON'T SENSE THAT THE DOOR IS CLOSED WHEN IT IS. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE ALL WHEEL DRIVE SHUTS DOWN AND YOU HAVE NO POWER. I SHUT THE ENGINE OFF AND RE-START. IT WORKED FOR ABOUT 100 YARDS AND DID IT AGAIN. IT DID THIS 7 TIMES IN LESS THAN 10 MILES. IT DID NOT DO IT AGAIN FOR ABOUT 10 DAYS. THEN IT DID IT 5 TIMES IN LESS THAN 2 MILES. IT HAPPENS AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. BOTH IN MANUAL AND AUTOMATIC. THIS PAST WEEKEND IT HAPPENED ANOTHER 3 TIMES WHILE OUT OF TOWN ON A MINI-VACATION. *TR

WHILE MAKING A TURN THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED OUT WITHOUT WARNING, LUCKILY THE CAR COMING TOWARDS ME SLOWED IN TIME AND I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE MIDDLE LANE. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED AND ALSO A WRENCH SYMBOL. AFTER A FEW MINUTES I RESTARTED THE CAR AND IT DID TURN ON, I WAS DRIVING WITHOUT ISSUES, WHEN GOING 45 MPH THE VEHICLE SHOOK AND AGAIN STALLED OUT. HAVING MY 1 YEAR OLD SON IN THE CAR WAS VERY FRIGHTENING, I WAS TERRIFIED I WOULD BE HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE AS THE EDGE SUDDENLY TURNS OFF WITH NO WARNING. BEING WE LIVE IN A SOMEWHAT RURAL AREA AND HAVING MY SON, I WAS DETERMINED TO MAKE IT HOME, WHICH THANK GOODNESS I DID SAFELY, UNFORTUNATELY AFTER STALLING OUT 2-3 MORE TIMES. MY HUSBAND TOOK THE EDGE TO THE DEALERSHIP TODAY WHICH THEY CLAIM IT IS THE THROTTLE BODY, AND SINCE WE DO NOT HAVE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY IS $800. AFTER SEEING THESE OTHER POSTS IT SEEMS THAT THERE SHOULD BE A FORD RECALL. THANKFULLY NO ONE WAS HURT, BUT IT CAN LEAD TO A FATALITY IF THE EDGE STALLS ON THE FREEWAY OR BUSY ROAD, ITS VERY SCARY. I PURCHASED A NEW CAR TO FEEL SAFE AND TO HAVE MY SON SAFE, I FEEL FAR FROM AND I WANT NOTHING BUT TO GET RID OF THIS VEHICLE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. VIN UNAVAILABLE AS MY CAR IS STILL AT THE DEALERSHIP. *TR

WE WENT TO GET IN THE CAR, CLOSED THE DOOR AND THE DRIVER DOOR AJAR WARNING CAME ON WITH THE DOOR CLOSED. IT DOES ON OCCASION GO OFF TEMPORARILY THEN COMES BACK ON. WAS TOLD BY DEALERSHIP THAT FORD HAS KNOWN ABOUT PROBLEM FOR ABOUT A YEAR. IF THIS IS THE CASE THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THE PART. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, WHEN THE VEHICLE BECAME RESISTANT TO ACCELERATION ATTEMPTS. THE CONTACT TURNED THE ENGINE OFF AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE WITHOUT A FAILURE. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000. *TR

THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR AJAR SENSORS HAVE BEEN CAUSING PROBLEMS FOR THE PAST MONTH. THEY ARE COVERED UNDER MY WARRANTY, HOWEVER I HAVE TO PAY A $100 DEDUCTIBLE TO GET THIS FIXED. THE REPRESENTATIVE, JOHN, SAID THAT FORD HAS ISSUED A NOTICE ABOUT THEM HOWEVER NO RECALL. HE SAID THERE ARE A LARGE NUMBER OF CARS EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE... SO I'M CONFUSED ABOUT WHY THERE IS NOT A RECALL. PLEASE HELP. THANK YOU! *TR

WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE ENGINE SUDDENLY WENT INTO SAFE MODE AND THE VEHICLE SLOWED CAUSING FOLLOWING TRAFFIC TO TAKE EVASIVE ACTION TO AVOID THE CAR. ALTHOUGH IT WAS DIFFICULT IN TRAFFIC, I WAS ABLE TO MOVE TO THE RIGHT LANE AND THEN INTO A GAS STATION PARKING LOT WITHOUT SIGNIFICANT INCIDENT. I SHUT THE ENGINE DOWN AND RESTARTED. THE WRENCH ALARM WAS GONE AND THE ENGINE RAN NORMALLY. I DROVE TO A DEALERSHIP WHERE A THROTTLE BODY ISSUE WAS DIAGNOSED. THE TOTAL FEE WAS $500 AND THE VEHICLE STILL DROVE NORMALLY. *TR

AT 44460 MILES THE ABOVE PARTS WERE REPLACED AND NOW ON SEPTEMBER 23, 2013 SOME OF THE SAME PARTS HAVE FAILED AGAIN. THE COST OF THE ORIGINAL REPAIR WAS $410.62. I BELIEVED AT THE TIME OF THE ORIGINAL REPAIR THAT ALL OR A GOOD SHARE OF THE COST SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED BY FORD!!! THERE DEFINITELY A PROBLEM WITH THESE BRAKES. SCRAPE, SCRAPE, SCRAPE!! THERE NEEDS TO BE A DESIGN CHANGE IN THE BRAKE PARTS. OUR OTHER CARS HAVE NOW BRAKE PROBLEMS SUCH AS THE ABOVE. FORD NEEDS TO OWN UP TO THE FACT THAT THEY HAVE A POOR DESIGN OR A POOR SELECTION OF COMPONENTS. OTHER THAN THE ABOVE, I HAVE BEEN VERY SATISFIED WITH THE EDGE

WHILE DRIVING AROUND 65MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY WENT INTO "LIMP" MODE WITH NO ABILITY TO MAINTAIN SPEED. I WAS ON A 3 LANE BRIDGE WITHOUT A SHOULDER AND IT WAS DIFFICULT TO NAVIGATE THE VEHICLE SAFELY THROUGH TRAFFIC FROM THE FAR LEFT LANE, ACROSS THE BRIDGE, AND ONTO THE UPCOMING SHOULDER. THE RED "WRENCH" LIGHT CAME ON ALONG WITH THE "AWD" LIGHT. PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL HAD NO IMPACT TO RPM'S (WHICH STAYED AROUND 700RPM). BRAKE SCREECHING FROM ANOTHER VEHICLE WAS HEARD AS MY VEHICLE COASTED ACROSS THE 2 LANES OF TRAFFIC. AFTER COMING TO A STOP, I TURNED OFF VEHICLE AND RESTARTED WITHOUT ANY WARNING LIGHTS AND VEHICLE DROVE NORMALLY. INCIDENT OCCURRED AGAIN 1 WEEK LATER IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, APROXIMATELY 65MPH. RED WRENCH LIGHT, AWD LIGHT. THIS TIME ENGINE LIGHT ALSO CAME ON. I MAINTAINED MY LANE, PUT ON MY HAZARD LIGHTS, PUT CAR IN NEUTRAL, TURN OFF IGNITION WHILE COASTING, SLIGHTLY TAPPED BRAKE TO RESTART THE CAR. VEHICLE STARTED BUT WARNING LIGHTS DID NOT RESET AND VEHICLE STILL IN LIMP MODE. WITHOUT THE ABILITY TO MAINTAIN SPEED, I COASTED TO THE SHOULDER AND CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. TURNED OFF VEHICLE AGAIN. RESTART AND RED WRENCH LIGHT WAS OFF AND AWD LIGHT WAS OFF. ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON. VEHICLE DROVE NORMALLY. TOOK IT TO A DEALER WHO REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY AT MY COST. VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE WHEN SUDDENLY GOING INTO "LIMP".
