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 ...
The suv gave me a blinking engine light. decoding to a misfire problem. the first time i had the car looked at they replaced the coil packs. about 10,000 miles later i got the same misfire problem. some of the coil packs were melted. i had the suv towed to a garage and they said the engine control module is defective. they replaced the control module for $1500.00. yikes. dealer told me that ford motor company knows the ecm is defective but won't recall so i have to pay for their screw up. want a refund from ford.
While sitting in stop[ and go traffic a warning is issued that the engine is overheating! i turn on the heater while driving and the notice goes off! when i approach the car the rear tailgate door opens and at times i can't lock the doors after parking the car! some times a notice of oil pressure is low while driving!

Water pump broke while on highway. there were no signs of failure leading up to it. car gave a warning of low oil pressure, then maybe 20 seconds later the engine coolant over temperature warning comes on. car stopped accelerating at this point, got to shoulder of highway and at this point, power steering and brakes were out. engine was smoking. had it towed back to dealership 89 miles away to learn the water pump broke causing catastrophic engine failure and damage. estimate to rebuild engine was $ 7352.00 plus tax. there was no warning or possible way to check the water pump before hand. i purchased the car in 2011 and had it paid off a couple years ago. now all equity in the car is completely gone as the car was only worth 6-8k (according to truecar) and it would cost more to fix it than to purchase a new one. a engine swap was estimated at around $4,000 with labor included as well. after this happened i find out i'm not the only one ...
Internal water pump exploded inside, causing engine to lock and other damages in the engine. vehicle was in garage for simple tune up. then during checkin, the engine stopped. vehicle could not restart.
First of all the first problem i encountered with my vehicle was the passenger wheel barring was defected and started making a bad noise so took it to the shop and the mechanic said lucky i did because is was about to break and cause my wheel to come off going down the road. after that i noticed that my engine would run hot if i sat still in the parking lot just running even with the ac off. i had no warning that anything was wrong. i turned my car off and it didn't seem to do it anymore until we started getting this really hot weather this may, me and my family was going in to town to grab a bite to eat when (without any warning) my car starts sputtering as if i put bad gas in it. my husband instructed me to pull over and take a look and low and behold my car has been running hot just after driving only 10 minutes. he pulled the dipstick and oil is milky and oil was all in the water resivour. my car had over heated without any warning that anything was wrong and blown heat gasket ...

Tuesday night 1/22/2019, my daughter described that her car had lost all power while she was driving down a small mostly deserted street in our town when she braked and attempted to turn. she had an extremely difficult time braking and turning the car to get off of the roadway. so, that same evening, i decided to see if it happened to me. it was noted that she had just over a quarter tank of gas so i thought maybe her gas gauge was wrong so i filled the car. we drove around 6 miles when it did happen to me as i braked and attempted to make a left hand turn in front of oncoming traffic. fortunately, the vehicles headed my way were quite a bit down the street, and i allowed myself ample time to get across were this to happen. however, this was at night when that street isn't busy. we live off of this street so avoiding during the day isn't an option. during the day when traffic is busy and constant, there would be no way to allow that much time to get across safely. ...

On friday september 28, 2018, our 2011 ford edge limited lost the ability to accelerate and began decelerating on a freeway while being driven at 60 mph. my husband had to "coast" off the freeway and came to a dead stop without any warning (e.g. no check engine or other lights turned on) in the middle of a busy intersection, at which time the engine began smoking. many hours later we were informed by a service technician at our closest ford dealership, the the internal water pump had failed and flooded the engine with coolant and oil. he stated that there was nothing we did to cause it and nothing could have prevented it because it was due to a "poor design" by ford. he stated he had seen this several times and that our engine would need to be replaced (at a cost of almost $9k). internet research has shown that we are not the only people to experience this and that there is a pending class action lawsuit against ford motor company for this very issue. as of right now, the card is completely dead and cannot be driven, and ford is refusing to accept responsibility for their ...
Driving 60mph on highway and car without warning lost power and stalled. on freeway. very dangerous, a semi had to swerve to avoid me. put car in park and after a few minutes the card started back up and drove without problems. this has happened three times without warning and after a bit of time starts back up and drives fine.
