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

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.

- East Canton, OH, USA

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.

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.

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.

- Whitehall, OH, USA

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.

- Alvin, TX, USA

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.

- Oldsmar, FL, USA

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.

- Fresno, CA, USA

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.

- Wedowee, AL, USA

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.

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.

- Manassas, VA, USA

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.
