Car died while driving, because I was in traffic at 30 mph, going downhill on 20% grade, I threw the car in neutral and was able to restart the car. This action, according to dealer, cleared the computer and no incident was found. After 8 days of supposed diagnosis they tried to get me to pay a deposit of $500 to put a data recorder in my vehicle and said I would have to trigger it first before it would record future incidents, would this be before I try to save my life from the tractor trailer behind me moving at 70+mph

I was starting to drive on the busy street at about 30 mph when of the sudden the vehicle slowed down to maybe 5 mph within 2 seconds, mind you my foot was pressing the gas pedal at the time the car lost speed, light comes on, something to do with hill assistance, then the wrench light come on, luckily this happened just before the intersection and I decided to go to the left turn lane. I was able to pull to the side of the road at a 2-3 mph speed, turned the car off and back on with no problem, drove it home. This morning (7:00am) I drove my car to the Ford dealership in town, explain the issue to the adviser, she said sounds like the throttle body. They worked on my car, got the phone call around 3;00pm that my car was ready I picked up, this is what the invoice says: 4722 defective etb. Light off, obtain P2111, perform a datalogger road test and make a recording. Review recording. At time of power loss etc actual ande desired way out of spec, T/P readings are erratic and full of spikes, install a new etb, clear code and road test, engine runs good, full power, light off and no codes return. Will see how this works....

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.

While traveling a freeway at 70 mph, the engine cut out. I was in the outside lane, luckily. I was able to drift over into the parking lane. I waited for a few minutes - started back up and resumed carefully to my destination. The next day it happened twice and in various conditions: From a stop, and then when I was accelerating to get onto a freeway. When I drove to my home 200 miles away. I was careful and stayed in the outside lane of the interstate. Just before home, out of the blue, the engine cut off. I was able to drift to the side of the road and stop and restart and get home. Today I called for an appointment at the dealer and was informed it would be three days before I could get in. I am very disappointed with this situation. My car only has 8,000 miles on it.

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.

See attached pdf file for complaint. While traveling at near highway speed (45 mph) on a late Saturday afternoon, July 16, 2016, my 2015 Ford Edge with only 9,000 miles, suddenly lost power and I could not accelerate. Fortunately I was on a decline of a bridge, so I was able to coast to the next corner and get off of the main thoroughfare. I was at risk of a vehicle crash, however, fortunately there were no cars following me at the time. The 'wrench' warning indicator came on, and after searching the owner's manual, I called Ford roadside service to have car towed to dealership where it was purchased new only 7 months earlier. There were no warning signs prior to this failure! on Monday (July 18), the dealer called to advise the 'electronic throttle body' would arrive Tuesday and I could expect my car back Tuesday afternoon. Tuesday morning (July 19) I was called and advised the part is on back-order and not expected to be received until July 29. You can imagine my displeasure at hearing this, knowing I'll be without my car for two weeks, assuming the part arrives on schedule

As I was driving, the car engine stopped. I would then have to put the car in park and restart the engine while in traffic.

Vehicle stalled in heavy traffic on the freeway and had to coast to the side of the road. Very dangerous situation. Amber check engine light came on and a warning light showing a yellow wrench came on. Vehicle ran in limp home mode only. Took vehicle to the dealership and the throttle body was replaced. On line reports indicate the throttle body has been a problem at Ford for the last several years and it apparently is still not fixed on the 2015 Ford Edge....updated 08/15/16

Driving down major highway. Car engine lurched and then suddenly lost all acceleration power. Had to coast to a stop by side of highway. Engine continued running very roughly. No acceleration or ability to drive. Dealership deemed it a electronic throttle body failure.

- Culpeper, VA, USA

My car is Ford Edge 2015 with only 6000 miles on it. I was entering the ramp on a freeway and when attempted to accelerate the car just shut off by itself. I blocked the whole road because could not move. 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. The next day my car did the same thing on a busy street intersection. I had to wait again a little bit to restart it and drove to the dealership. They took the car to check for one day, no rental was provided. I was told that they get many different Ford vehicles with this issue. Next day I received a phone call that they ran a computer scan and throttle body was defective. Throttle body air intake was replaced. Very scary and dangerous situation that can happen anytime, anywhere without any kind of warning. I believe it needs attention...

I purchased a 2015 Ford Edge titanium on April 23, 2015. Around February 2016, I began noticing and hearing the vehicle make a loud noise (raring up of the engine} when in the park position or when driving. The noise appears louder when in the park position. I took the vehicle to the Ford dealership where I purchased it to have it inspected and was informed it was normal for the vehicle to do that. The noise became worse so I took the vehicle back again. On March 3, 2016, I was then informed it was the cooling fan. The cooling fan was supposedly replaced. However, today the vehicle is doing the same thing. To hopefully get a solution to this problem I filed a complaint with Ford Motor Company. I was referred to the person over my district and have followed their recommendations but still to no avail. After every service visit I"M being told they can't find anything wrong and that the noise is normal. I requested for a Ford technician to come out and inspect the vehicle on June 8, 2016. As of today, June 25, 2016, I am still waiting to have my vehicle inspected by a Ford technician. I have videos of the vehicle making the same noise before the cooling fan was replaced and after it was replaced. I have also shared both videos with Ford and the dealership's service supervisor. I am afraid each time I drive the vehicle because I don't know if it will blow up or not because the noise is just that loud. I just want the vehicle repaired.

I was pulling out of a parking lot and the car did not accelerate, a message displayed on the dash "full accessory power available". I had to put the car in park and restart it. It restarted fine and I pulled out of the lot and drove home. When I got home I got my manual and tried to look up the message on my dash, because I didn't have a clue what it meant. I could not find anything in the manual. So I looked on the internet and discovered a lot of people have had this problem numerous times and some in busy intersections and traffic, which scares me to death! I was lucky it was in a parking lot. Now I am scared to drive my car until it's fixed.

- Scott Depot, WV, USA

Car was stopped in a parking lot. No power when attempted to accelerate. Screen showed "full accessory power active" and the green light on the starter button was flashing. Car was put in park and successfully started. Was able to drive more than 100 miles later without any issues. Took car to dealer where they ran a computer scan and did not find any issues. I've noted a number of on line postings describing similar issues.

- Hudson, OH, USA

Issue 1: when ambient air temperatures are above 85 degrees the engine shutters, accelerates very slowly and the engine light flashes. This happens consistently on short and long trips without any warning. Issue 2: ventilated/cooled seats do not work when ambient air temperatures are above 75 degrees.

- Algonquin, IL, USA

The contact owns a 2015 Ford Edge. The contact stated that the vehicle went into limp mode several times, which prevented the vehicle from being driven over 5 mph. The dealer diagnosed that the throttle body failed. The dealer also stated that there were more than 8,000 parts on back order and were unable to determine when the manufacturer would supply the part for the repair. The contact waited for weeks for a response from the manufacturer to determine a solution. The approximate failure mileage was 9,300.
