Recently reported POWER TRAIN problems on 2011 Ford Edge

I was driving my ford edge on route 303 in phoenix at about 60 miles per hour when the car suddenly started shaking and losing power. it allowed me to drive a very short distance until i was able to stop the car, in a turn lane with a tractor trailer on my tail ...very disconcerting! a yellow wrench light was showing along with some notice about my traction being off, i believe. after sitting a few minutes i was able to move it off the turn lane and into a fairly safe lane ahead. fortunately a policeman pulled up behind me and i shut off the engine and called aaa for a tow. 20 minutes later, i turned on the engine which now seemed fine so the policeman suggested that i pull forward into a safer area. after doing sotheby's car seemed fine again so i drove it to my daughter's house several miles away and cancelled the tow. i have been researching this issue on line since and this has happened to many edge owners who have feared for their lives when the same thing happened to them. some say ...

Vehicle has 54,096 miles on it. power transfer unit failure and transmission failure. noticed a noise, took it in for repair before it got worse. this seems to be a known and common issue. very expensive repair with low miles.

The vehicle was stationary and attempting to accelerate away from a stop light. the vehicle would not move under its own power. the engine rpm would increase as well as the speedometer but no movement. the vehicle would also move with the vehicle in park. towed to shop where it was determined that the axle retainer clip had fallen off and the cv axle and it slid out of the the inner shaft and stripped the entry teeth and the end of the cv shaft. known problem on 2012-14 ford edge.

I was driving the car in traffic, then it all of a sudden cut off, i able to restart and move a short distance to have it towed to the ford dealership service department. was told by dealership need complete power train replacement, water pump, possibly entire new engine.

Engine suddenly lost power and accelerator did not function. needed a new throttle body motor assembly. ford established "customer satisfaction program" in lieu of a recall for othjer ford models but the edge was not included in such.

Throttle body suspected: 2011 ford 3.5l edge decelerating and stalling at random. vehicle stranded in middle of roadway until pushed to side of the road. turning vehicle off then back on corrects issue until the next random event. this has happened 4 times with this vehicle.

Driving in middle lane on highway during rush hour and suddenly lost acceleration. thankfully i was able to avoid being rear ended and coast to shoulder of highway. after turning the car on anf off a couple of times, the car responded when i pushed accelerator. i was able to drive a 1/10 of a mile to a lincoln dealer and leave my car there. after googling the issue, i see many people have had this issue with fords, some have been recalled, some have had warranties extended to fix..(even a class action law suit exists!) but, i received no notification from ford that this could be an issue. i also discovered that quite a few people say they were in accidents due to this issue.this is extremely dangerous and i narrowly escaped causing a multi car accident!! ford needs to be forced to fix this issue immediately and to notify all those in danger before someone gets killed!!

Shift to park warning indicator keeps coming on when the vehicle is already in park and the vehicle is shutoff. this causes the whole cluster to light up and will eventually run the battery down leaving a person stranded. ford is aware of this issue as it occurs on several models. they need to recall this defect in the shifter assembly.

Driving on the highway and i the yellow wrench light came on and i lost power. the vehicle wouldn't accelerate and felt very under powered. thankfully i was able to pull over turn the vehicle off and restart it. after restarting the problem seemed to go away. this is a very dangerous scenario. hopefully ford makes it right and has a recall for this common problem. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2011 ford edge. while turning the vehicle with the accelerator pedal depressed, the vehicle stalled and the check engine and power train warning indicators illuminated. the vehicle was able to restart on the second attempt, but the failure recurred. the vehicle was taken to two different dealers, but they were unable to duplicate the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 90,000.

2011 ford edge lost all power from the throttle while traveling on the interstate. pulled over to the side of the road, had a yellow wrench light, no throttle response and rough running engine. shut the vehicle off waited about 2 minutes and restarted everything was running fine. drove the edge about 10 miles on the interstate to my exit, after coming to a stop and ready to accelerate onto the highway i hit the gas and got out into the intersection and the yellow wrench light illuminated again and lost all power leaving me stranded in the middle of the intersection with traffic coming both ways. after traffic stopped and i was able to slowly move to the shoulder i shut the car down again and called a friend to come help me. after sitting for 10-20 minutes, my friend showed up and the edge restarts and was able to drive home. thankful my parents weren't driving or children weren't in the car and no accident was caused. after doing some research i've come to the conclusion that the throttle body is to blame and all the symptoms are the same. apparently this is a common problem on the ...
