I have had several instances where I am driving thru the city just fine but when I go to accelerate and merge into traffic my car will not go past 35. all the lights come on and I basically have to coast to the side of the road. Every time this has happened, by the time I get my car to the dealership it is driving fine, the lights turn off and no codes are displaying. They have said it was probably gas or something since there were no codes. My husband and I use the same gas and his car is fine. it is just my Edge. It is like my car goes into limp mode for no reason and I have to turn the engine off and back on, put it in reverse and then drive in order to even go again.

Back windshield - not available for inspection as I have had it repaired already. Back windshield shattered/exploded sounded like a balloon being blown up too much and then popped - hazard to when someone is physically driving the vehicle and has no idea what just happened Inspected by insurance reps No warnings besides at the time it happened I heard a strange blowing noise After glass broke and was replaced multiple shards of glass jammed the trunk lock making it unable to be opened from outside or inside. Had to have dealership replace plastic trim and lock also after glass was repaired by safelite

Lug nuts were swollen and they informed me I would not be able to change a tire with a manual tire iron and it was unsafe as two were completely stripped. Only 70k on the vehicle. Cost over $100 to repair. Seems like a common complaint so thought it prudent to report same.
