CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2015 Ford Edge has a trend of the engine dying while driving, which is typically considered a safety issue.
Owners report the stalling while driving problem is caused by the throttle body needing replacement. The problem typically occurs at low mileage & so the issue has been covered under warranty -- although by now, the 2015 Edge is generally past the full warranty period.

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.
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.
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.
My car shut down while driving. I was driving in a parking lot and it just suddenly shut down. I couldn't accelerate. An error displayed that said something like full power active accessory. I was able to restart the car.
Pulled up to a red light and waited until the light turned green. Then I attempted to accelerate and the the engine shut off; however, it is possible that the engine shut off while the car was stopped prior to accelerating. A warning came up on the vehicle display, but I cannot remember the exact warning. I shifted into park and started the car back up, and all errors cleared. I drove an additional two miles home, and did not experience the same issue (even though I repeated the same procedure at two stop signs, fully stopping and gradually accelerating).

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.
I purchased a brand new 2015 Ford Edge on 12/29/15. On January 19, 2016, the ABS break system went out and it took 2 wks to fix.this happened when I was 4 hours from my home and had to leave it at a dealership then drive 4 hours back to get it. Ford could have cared less. Yesterday(5/24/2016),I was driving down the highway at the speed limit (70mph) when suddenly my vehicle's gas pedal stopped working. I immediately felt the car de accelerate and tried to press the gas pedal to keep up with traffic. However, stomping on the gas pedal did nothing to increase the speed. There were cars slamming on their brakes and swerving to go around me. I was in the left lane of a 3 lane highway and many cars and 18 wheelers began swerving to pass me on the right. It was extremely difficult to coast to the shoulder. The power steering seemed to be limited as well.there were 2 near misses with other cars and it could have been a very bad crash. I turned the vehicle off and back on and made it to my destination. But, this happened a second time on my way home in the dark. I took it in the next morning and used all back roads but even at a lower speed, the same thing happened twice. Ford now tells me that they are having problems with the "throttle bodies" on the 2015 Edge and the part is backordered. Therefore it could be 2-3 weeks before my car is repaired. I purchased this car in December of 2016 brand new off the lot, less than 6 months & less than 7K miles later I experienced an extremely dangerous equipment failure with no warning. Ford customer svc does not seem the least bit concerned that their customers are not only inconvenienced by this issue, but could be killed! what is wrong with them" does someone have to die to get their attention. I am still expected to pay Ford moter credit on the car. However, I am unable to drive it.once again, does someone have to die"
I bought my new 2015 Ford Edge in June of 2015, not even 2 months after owning it, the engine died on me while in stop and go traffic. The lights on the dash were on and it gave me an error message but I don't remember what it was. I was able to turn the car off and turn it back on and it was fine. Then it did it again maybe a week later. Took to the deal twice, they contacted Ford and they told the dealership they it had to be reprogrammed, which fixed it but now 9 months later I'm dealing with it again. This time I took a photo of the error message, it said "full accessory power active." I've taken it back to the dealership but I've done a lot of research and this problem has been happening for years on all kinds of Ford vehicles.

Car shut off twice on the highway at 70 mph. Very dangerous but was able to pull over on the shoulder and restart vehicle but then it would stall 15 minutes later. All power gone in the engine. Have 11,000 miles on this car. Dummy light said to "get service". at the dealership they said it would take three weeks to get the new "throttle body" to fix this problem? three weeks I am without this car! I just hope once it's fixed I'm not going to be stalling without warning on the highway!
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.
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.
The contact owns a 2015 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while starting the vehicle, the engine stalled without warning. The failure occurred twice. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where the failure could not be determined. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact also stated that the failure occurred once while driving. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 200. The VIN was not available.
Brand new vehicle. "engine stall" without warning. Dealership cannot duplicate and therefore the safety concern remains. Dealership does not care if safety concern remains. Vehicle unsafe to drive. Numerous online complains and no response or action from Ford. This is a serious matter of life and death. I was in dangerous conditions when the car lost power and my life was in danger. I demand that Ford investigates this danger and buy back the vehicle in the meantime
The contact owns a 2015 Ford Edge. While driving 30 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning and all the warning lights on the instrument panel illuminated. The failure recurred several times. After the third time, the vehicle was taken to a dealer where it could not be diagnosed. The dealer received a bulletin about the vehicle and reprogrammed the PCM; however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 26,500. Updated 05/04/16
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
Thee times now my Edge has lost power while driving. The first time was making a left U-turn in a residential neighborhood. The second time was making a right turn into a drive-thru driveway. The third time was in a grocery store parking lot while stopped, waiting for a car to pass. All three times my car lost engine power, with no prior warning. A display popped up stating "full accessory power active". no other lights/alerts came on, including check engine. My radio still worked. While in drive I could literally press the gas to the floor and nothing happened. I had to restart the engine to regain power. I was able to restart the car without putting it into park; I only had to press the brake and the start button. During the initial mechanic visit we road tested and I was asked to try stopping and starting the engine while in drive; I was unable to do so. I now have the car at the dealership for the second time. The first time I was told that because they couldn't duplicate the problem, they couldn't fix it. I showed them research where other customers complained of this issue and it being due to the throttle body. I asked for this to be replaced, and after 5 days of back and forth, they changed it out. Less than 24 hours later it happened for the third time and I took it back in. I mentioned other reports of possible fuel pump issues but they said they were unaware of it being an issue. The said they would try to duplicate it, but otherwise they couldn't do much else. I brought in a picture of the alert, as requested by the first mechanic, but was told it wasn't enough to help them. I am unable to attach the work order at this time, but I have a physical copy for my records.
On October 27, 2015, my Ford Edge sel 3.5L w/ 4,500 miles stalled after I came to a complete stop and attempted to make a righthand turn. As the vehicle entered the intersection, it stopped responding and stalled. No warning or other symptoms occurred. No warning or error codes displayed. The left message center displayed "full accessory power active." This situation is dangerous as there is no warning and the manner in which it stalls/loses power does not give the driver any indication the car has stalled. Suddenly and without any alarm or error code, the vehicle lost power and stopped responding.
