Recently reported POWER TRAIN problems on 2015 Ford Edge

I started my car and turned on to a busy street. my car then slowed to an almost immediate stop. i received an error message stating hill assist unavailable (i wasn't on a hill at all), then a wrench light appeared along with an engine light and airbag light turned on as well. i was unable to accelerate when pushing the petal. meanwhile there is traffic behind me forced to move around my vehicle almost causing serious accidents.

When accelerating from a stop light, the vehicle hesitates/stalls and then jerks as i try to accelerate again. this has happened several times.

While driving down the street or highway, the vehicle is randomly shifting hard to change gears.

Car was taken to liberty ford in warrensville recently for an oil change. told that the oil pan was cracked and oil was leaking. needed repair. indicated that the car was under warranty. so repair would be done free. no indication of problem until car was taken in to shop for oil change. told it was a small leak when asked why i didn't notice it!

2015 ford edge transmission shifts extremely hard when changing acceleration rates from low to high. some times you can hear the engine rev before it drops it into gear. this happens in both city and highway driving at all times of the year.

I pulled into my garage, put the vehicle in park, & noticed the letters displayed behind the steering wheel still showed that i was in neutral even though my gear shift was in park. the gear shift would not budge from park even with my car on. i turned the car off & on a few times, but still no change. i could actually roll my car forward & backward by hand while in the garage while this was happening. i put my emergency brake on to avoid any further, unwanted movement. i called aaa to come tow my vehicle out of the garage & take to the local ford dealership. they determined that the shifting cable had broke, & $350 later i got my car back. thank goodness this happened in my garage, because if that had happened anywhere else i or someone else could've been injured or caused a wreck if the car had rolled had i not noticed the problem in time. the dealership had said that this was the 2nd ford edge that this exact problem had occurred with in the last month. big concern!

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 ford edge. while operating the vehicle, a rattling noise was heard from the engine compartment. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the flex plate was cracked and needed to be replaced. the vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred approximately 40,000 miles later. tallassee ford (1618 gilmer ave, tallasee, al) and the manufacturer were notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 105,328.

After driving the car under normal conditions for the first 40k miles it started to make rattling noises. took it to the dealer and it had a broken flywheel. 18k miles later it has another broken flywheel

While driving the rmps all of the sudden increased rapidly (i had my foot on the accelerator traveling around 50 mpg) as the vehicle continued to slow. the vehicle then started to sputter like it was running out of gas (had a full tank). i pulled over then started out again. then i realized it was the transmission. i reluctantly went into first, smoothed into 2nd then felt like it totally skipped 3rd before settling into 4th. i have 6 years. traveling around 60-70 was fine. it was the lower gears when starting from a stop that was giving me issues. i need to advise you that this is a 2015 model with only 12,885 miles on it when 3rd and 5th gear 'dropped out' of my transmission. this is what the licensed ford mechanic advised me. i'm very upset because it's still under warranty and ford will only fix the broken parts and not the whole transmission. only 12,885 miles and i bought it used - i've only had it for 3 months at this point.

I was driving 55 mph and car power dropped to coasting and i had to pull off the road. the oil indicator came on. i called triple a and then tried to reset the oil light to reset and the car started again with power. cancelled triple a. car was not reset after oil change. i could have been rear ended!! really scared me.

Vehicle lost all forward driving power when merging into traffic on 3 lane major highway from on ramp during rush hour traffic. wrench light came on and vehicle entered limp mode. nearly crashed because of limp mode caused reduced steering and reduced speed to maximum of 10 mph on highway with 55 mph speed limit. no where to pull over on highway so drove vehicle in limp mode off next exit. after parking and re-starting, reverse not engaging and now slipping in and out of drive gears. towed to dealer. dealer unable to diagnose transmission problem. during diagnosis dealer performed cost analysis and decided to replace entire transmission. vehicle at dealer service center for 30 days. after picking up "repaired" vehicle a loud exhaust note is now prevalent. need to take vehicle back to dealer service department for further diagnosis.

Reverse aid camera randomly turns on while the car is in motion. when this happens the transmission appears to lurch as if the traction control system is adjusting the spin of the front tires. we have had this into the dealership multiple times and they have even replaced the camera and the issue still happens. we are concerned that the transmission may fail to operate normally under load when attempting to accelerate.

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 ford edge. while driving various speeds, while the accelerator pedal was depressed, the vehicle failed to accelerate without warning. the vehicle was taken to the dealer where the failure could not be determined. the failure recurred several times. the failure mileage was 27,449. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure.

I own this 2015 edge for less than a year and less than 15,000 miles. driving on a sunday afternoon at 35 miles per hour to pick pumpkins and the transmission just starts spinning. we pull over and transmission is completely shot will not move car. call aaa and have it towed to the nearest dealer carbone ford in bennington vermont. this is not where it was purchased but it is where i have it serviced. so the first thing they tell me is ford will not issue a loaner vehicle nor will they pay for a rental. they tell me they first must "download the data from their computer to ford, so that ford can decide whether to fix it or replace it." this took two full weeks. in the third week ford told them they could repair it and the parts were sent. in the fourth week i was promised the car wednesday and then "absolutely friday" it is now saturday and no car. i have rented a car for four full weeks going on five. the killer is that aamco would have taken two days to fix or replace my transmission and ford thinks this is somehow not their fault therefore no loaner vehicle.

Engine goes to idle while underway, orange wrench appears on panel, no response from throttle. happens without warning at any time, high or low speed. extremely dangerous. i cannot imagine why there has been no recall on this.

At 6200 miles on a clear warm day of about 95 degrees, at about 40mph on a flat city road, the car lost all power of acceleration, and i had to pull over and come to a complete stop. the engine light and a wrench light appeared on the dash display, and hill start assist unavailable message appeared. i put car into park and shut off engine, waited about 2 minutes, and restarted engine. the engine idled roughly and the accelerator pedal produced no results when pushed. shut engine off again and waited about 5 minutes and restarted. accelerator pedal worked normally, and drove off. wrench light went out and engine light went out after about 20 miles. no accidents were caused as there was enough time to react and travel was on a local street while going straight.

My car is ford edge 2015 with only 439 miles on it. i was turning right when attempted to accelerate the car just shut off by itself. i managed to drift into a parking lot to stop the car.. no check engine light was on just a message displayed on the dash "full accessory power active" and the green light on the starter button was flashing. had to put the car in park and wait 2-3 min until i could successfully restart it. request research help

While driving vehicle, it shudders and the engine shuts off. the car lights stay on in the interior and exterior - but the information screen goes black and then the back up camera turns on. car will not accelerate -- stays like this for a few moments then goes back to normal but then happens again -- usually 3 times within 3 minutes. this is the second time my vehicle will be going into the service dept. the first time i was driving on a major highway going 75mph, speed dropped to 60mph within a matter of seconds - would not accelerate and rear view camera was on. second time, at a stop light and the car shuddered and turned off when driving through the green light the engine shut off again. then, as the vehicle was being pulled off the road and out of traffic the engine shut off again. vehicle was towed to service dept. ford says there is nothing that can be found.

I ford edge has a bumping sound on the passagner side. it was a brand new vechile. but it made this noise. come to find out after it broke down the throttle body and power train. i was told by the dealer that their was a recall by fcc said their was no recall. fcc would not buy the car back. the dealership did "fix" it but what really is a fix ( a patch) which means it will break down again. the car would not crank or make any noises! it just stopped in a parking spot.

Fwd 3.5 v6, 7 month old car with 12,200 miles- driving on interstate when engine just quit with no warning. wrench symbol illuminated on dash. after shutting down, car was able to be restarted, only to have the same problem after 3-5 minutes. car was towed to ford dealer, where problem was diagnosed as a faulty throttle body. dealer said they see a lot of this problem and that i was fortunate that they had the part in stock. i felt i was fortunate to be able to safely pull the car over, without causing an accident. car was repaired the next morning.

I was driving on a busy highway at about 45 mph and i couldn't accelerate. luckily i was able to coast off to the side burn. my car only has 6700 miles on it. they towed it to the dealership and the dealership told me that they can't get it into to look at until august 1st. the apparently won't even give you a loaner car in the meantime. very frustrating. this could have been a very dangerous situation.

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 ford edge. while driving approximately 55 mph, the vehicle decelerated to 15 mph when the power train wrench warning signal illuminated. the contact coasted the vehicle over to the side of the road, turned off, and restarted the vehicle. the vehicle was driven back to the contact's residence. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 5,100.

On 26 july 2016, i encountered a sudden and inexplicable problem with my vehicle that involved the loss of the ability to accelerate. . . while i was in traffic on a busy road. the gear shift was still in the 'drive' position when the incident occurred requiring me to drift into a driveway/parking lot, narrowly averting an accident. i was in the process of attempting to pass another vehicle. needless to say when this incident happened i found myself, and my grandchildren, in a very dangerous situation. as the moment the vehicle is unsafe to operate. on 27 july the same issue reoccurred three more times (all on local streets), once while i was in an intersection, while i was on my way to the cowles ford dealership to have the vehicle serviced. the service manager, took my vehicle in (he graciously provided a loaner vehicle) and one of the service representatives, hypothesized that the problem might be related to the throttle. i'm not sure if the issue was mechanical or related to the computer system. the service manager indicated that it may take about a week to service the vehicle due to the volume of service requests, so i will not know if the vehicle is drivable until after the first week of august.

Driving with cruise on at 55 to 60, yellow wrench comes on after feeling the car shutter, cruise stops working but was able to keep it up to speed. kept driving, at every stop light the car acts like it wants to stall but doesn't, then acts like it is in 3rd or 4th gear when taking off. shut the car off and re-started and it acted fine. then, the next day, the same thing happened when my wife was driving on her way to work in stop and go traffic. this yellow wrench came on about 10 months ago and it cleared when shutting the car off. dealer said to keep an eye on it and it may have been a glitch. spent a ton of money on this car and we don't even feel safe driving it! getting the throttle body replaced as we speak so hopefully that will fix it for good. less than 15,000 miles on the car.

While driving home in my 2015 ford edge titanium, i turned into a side street and pressed the accelerator to continue driving. car shut down completely. i could not advance. after sitting for a few minutes, everything came back on. i was able to restart the vehicle and made it home. a car that puts my life in danger like this could also put other lives at risk. this is a very dangerous situation and needs to be addressed.

Etb electronic throttle body failed while driving putting me in danger on the road and causing my car to go limp. i was driving 70 mph in a 75 and lost power and control of the vehicle. it was all i could do to put the car on the shoulder without an accident. the wrench light came on the dashboard. it was towed to texarkana and i am in rockwall tx waiting on 15000 of these parts are on back order with ford to come in for my car. this is hopeless. it's dangerous to have this car stall like that and to know 1.6 million have already.

Throttle body. ford edge titanium new car - have for roughly 6 months - 10,000 mileage driving on highway doing 65 - 70 miles an hour. car makes a beep noise and a large wrench appears in the left screen on the dashboard. no ability to use gas pedal which is now locked up - cannot press down. car is slowing down. only options to go to side of road and turn off. car can be restarted. take to dealership asap (happens again on the way - this time only driving approximately 30 miles an hour). dealership says it is the throttle body and they have ordered part to repair. been without a car for a week. still awaiting for dealership to repair.

5th stall 5/16/2016 turned left onto the i-90 on ramp, hit the gas and at ~40 mph the car shuddered and went into limp home mode. pulled safely to the shoulder and ran the vehicle health report. the report shows issues with hill assist and safety restraints. (29,359)

Car lost power at 60 mph was able to coast to side of road and restart. same day on interstate going 70 mph same thing but had very little room to pull off. restarted and once again coming to stop light on rt. 61 was able to coast to side and restart. all this happened within 1to2 hrs. this was on sunday 5/8/16 mileage on car 4,863. mon. 5/9/16 took car to sands ford of pottsville and was told that they could not determine what went wrong and cleared the engine light and to drive car and see if it occurs again. ford motor co. will not replace anything until they know what causes it to shut down.

Vehicle stalled again. first time october 2015 (filed a complaint). i was traveling on a road at relatively low speed and vehicle just stalled. restarted quickly, a vehicle should not just stall for no reason, especially a new vehicle.

2/26/2016 left edge at ford dealer who reprogramed the pcm 3/2/2016 turning from inglewood road onto 228th accelerated going up the hill, car jumped from ~30 to 40 then shut down into limp home mode, service light flashing, pulled to the side ran vehicle health report, turned off and restarted the car.

While passing (going from 40-60mph) a slow car in the right lane of highway 405 hit the gas pedal and the car shuddered and went into limp home mode, had to pull right across two lanes ran vehicle health report, turned car off and restarted

Turning off of sahalee way on to highway 202 hit gas pedal and car lunged and then end into limp home mode, had to pull off the road turn the car off and restart

On january 4, 2016 the vehicle entered a safe mode in the middle of traffic. without notice, while in motion and in the middle of traffic, the vehicle shut down; deployed the emergency brakes; and attempted to dial 911. it nearly caused an accident in the middle of a busy intersection. we promptly took the vehicle to the dealership, where they said the issue could not be replicated. the regional representative at ford customer service stated that if the issue could not be replicated ford would not be able to do anything else. the vehicle is brand new, with around 3000 miles. we are concerned about the vehicle and ford's unwillingness to address the issue.

This report is an update to complaint: 10788647. this vehicle, a 2015 ford edge sel with a 3.5l engine, was repaired by a ford dealership for a stalling/loss of power while driving issue. the dealership had the vehicle from november 5-13, 2015, and reprogramed the pcm in order to correct the stalling condition. initially, this action seemed to resolve the stalling issue. however, in recent days the gas mileage has dropped about 3 mpg, and on tuesday, december 22, 2015, at 7:25pm the edge stalled will driving (not accelerating, decelerating, or turning) and the engine quit. the vehicle simple stalled and lost total power while driving. there were no warning or error lights. the only message was "full accessory power active." i had to place the vehicle in park in order to restart, which i was able to do. fortunately, i was not on a busy roadway when the vehicle stalled. the dealership advised me to bring them the vehicle the next day, december, 23, 2015, and the vehicle has remained in their possession since that time. this issue is dangerous. i live in a major metropolitan area and travel interstates everyday. if it stalls while i am on the interstate, the situation could be disastrous.

I got out of the car in a driveway, was standing with the car door still open when the car started to roll down the driveway. i was knocked down and then stuck under the car door while being dragged down the driveway. i screamed for help and a neighbor heard, ran over just as i approached the street and stopped the car. she said the car showed to be in reverse yet it was turned off and i didn't hear any warning signals. it also didn't start to roll until i was standing out of it on two feet. if i felt it rolling while getting out, i would have still had a foot in the car to hit the break. besides bruises and muscle pulls, i also experienced a hole in my shoulder which went to the bone while being dragged.

In a parking garage, turning right at slow speed and vehicle stalled. no warning, all was going smooth until vehicle just stalled. vehicle restarted. informed dealer. dealer service department "reprogramed pcm per tsb 15-0123". thought all was taken care of until stalled again in march. so reporting now.

While making a right turn engine stalled and accessories are running light warning appeared on instrument cluster. car had no power and green light on push button start was flashing. put vehicle in park and it restarted. appears this is an on going problem.

The vehicle drivetrain warning light went on. we were driving about 45 mph on a hilly two lane road. the vehicle lost all power. luckily we not being followed closely as we had no ability to get any power after the warning light came on.
