I've had several breaking issues since buying the car earlier 2018. i wish i would have researched the brake issues with the 2011 edge i would have chose a different vehicle. it was very slick out and my husband slid through a stop light when the brakes failed. they were soft and spongy and went straight to the floor. we change the brake pads paid a mechanic to change the master cylinder not once but twice because we continue to have soft brakes. had a mechanic bleed the brakes saying are was in the lines still an issue. the booster has been replaced with the recall and they will not replace it a second time. now they want to replace the hydraulic control unit. the quote is $1,650. my husband has been scared to death to drive the vehicle and i am not allowed due to the faulty braking. we have ran off the road twice by people stopping suddenly and not being able to break.
Stalls and won't accelerate while going down the road. just idles real rough. can only coast to a stop. can't steer. wrench comes on the display. everything i have read said it is probably the throttle body. has less than 40,000 miles.
I was driving home from work at approximately 40 mph when an orange wrench popped on my screen and with no warning my car started jerking and sputtering and then quit working and completely decelerated like i had switched my car in neutral. i pressed the gas and nothing happened when i was in the middle of an intersection! i was able to get my car out of the roadway using some of my momentum but i was lucky i was not on an interstate or somewhere else. i was told my throttle body needs replacing. i looked into this issues with the 2011 edge and apparently there was a notice put out on this throttle body in other vehicles for causing the same problem and leading to very dangerous situations, however mine wasn't included even though i had the exact same problem. i take great care of my car - oil changes every 5,000 miles and special maintenance when necessary and it doesn't even have 100,000 miles on it.
I took a left turn to get onto the interstate on 7/30/18 at 7:45 am. when i started to accelerate to merge onto interstate without warning my car stalled and i was not able to accelerate. i was able to pull over thankfully and turn my emergency lights on. my car started to "jump" and was basically stalling out. i turned the car off and then after 5 minutes i was able to turn the car back on and it ran fine. i brought the car to my local ford dealership and they kept it for two days. they tried to recreate the issue but were unable to and said they could not read the error on the computer because it had been "wiped" out when i restarted my car. they told me to come back when the car stalls again. i feel very unsafe driving a car that can stall out and lose power at any minute. i drive a 24 mile bridge with no shoulders daily and interstates. i do not feel safe driving my son around in this car. ford will not do anything for me until the car stalls again. they told me not to turn ...

Throttle body recall. ford has replaced the throttle body twice already and my car is once again acting up. i press the gas and the car does not go. has caused me to have some very close calls to getting into serious accidents. brought my car into ford once again and they cannot find the problem. i had stopped to take a left at a busy intersection, a truck was coming from the right. i go to press the gas and the car wouldn't go and then all of a sudden felt like it kicked into gear. i had rolled forward slightly and was nearly hit by this oncoming truck. the next time i pressed the gas to go, it went just fine.
Purchased my 2011 ford edge in june/july of 2014 for jc lewis ford in savannah, ga. turns out there was an "extended warranty" in place because the brake booster's in this car have been failing. i'm not sure why they would have sold me a car without completing a repair or informing me of the possibility of malfunction. about a month ago, i was driving down the interstate at about 65 mph when i was cut off by another vehicle. when i went to tap the brakes to disengage the cruise control, nothing happened! i had to press the brakes about halfway down to get the cruise control to disengage and, even then, it felt like i did not have power brakes.
Car wil gradually slow down leading to a complete stop. power to the engine seems to decrease and speed slows. happened 4 times over several weeks. it would happen then an hour later car would be completely fine and drive ok for a few days and then happen again. happened when the car was driving at 30-50 mph on normal city streets (not highway) we took it to the dealer, where they identified the throttle body as the cause of the issue. our vin is not eligible for the replacement program though; which we do not understand - meets the year/make/model and characteristics of issue. ever since we purchased the car we have also had lingering electrical issues - separate of the throttle body, that no one has been able to identify -- drive door light says open and it's not, taillights randomly flash when car is off and no one is in car, etc. we are thinking this one was just a dud. we also own another ford edge 2014 model - no issues. car is currently being repaired for the throttle body issue. we can provide receipts / info once we pick it up. called ford and they ...
I have 2011 ford edge limited with 54k mileage. im going through same situation right now. car starts to decelerate all of a sudden and it comes with message all wheel drive off and a ranch sign. first time i had this issue was on 2/20/16 when i was 7 month pregnant and on my way to my baby shower. i called my dealer ad they said they can check the car but unless they can replicate the issue they might not be able to help at all. my husband started driving the car and it seemed problem just went away. well we were wrong because the problem came back again from last week and this time we were in highway and we had our 12 weeks old son in the car. the car is at the dealer currently and apparently they think the issue is related to throttle body and its going to cost me at least $700.00 and not covered by any types of warranty. i'm surprise ford hasn't been sued multiple times already since its a known issue and lots of ford owner been affected by it. the service and customer satisfaction department are not willing to ...

(on multiple occasions )my 2011 ford edge upon accleration the vehicle loses the abiltiy to acclerate - shudders and the check engine flashes or stays on. supposedly could not find the "code" that caused it. i have had the vehicle into 2 different dealer ships - one replaced the transfer case, the other the catalytic converter and ignition coils- to the cost of over 600.00 on a used certified vehicle. less than a few days later same issue - back to dealer said it was a loose wire. i now drive the vehicle very tentatively and hope i don't have to accelerate quickly.the vehicle persists in the ability to not acclerate quickly ( usually at 55 mph or higher )without the engine light flashing or staying on. it also seems to happen most frequently on quick accleration --on ramp or getting up to freeway speed . it is very dangerous as this usually happens getting on or off the freeway or staying up with traffic, once the light goes on the vehicle shudders and will not accelerate today it will be 3 months first visit was oct 29 mileage was 68000 and has happened up ...
