This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
We saw something leaking onto our driveway from inside the garage a couple weeks ago. I verified it was leaking from underneath the engine area of my car but didn't think anything else about it. A week later I went somewhere and was gone about an hour and came back and parked in the garage. I came back into the garage maybe a half hour later and it smelled like gas. I looked and noticed it dripping under the engine area again. I took my car to a shop (QualTech Automotive 620 in Austin, TX) and they called me today and said there was a fuel leak. They think it is by the rollover valve. I have not seen any pictures of this. They stated the only way to fix it is to replace the entire fuel tank. $$$$ There were no check engine lights or any other warnings to notify me of this issue. If I had not parked it in a garage and smelled the fuel smell, I might not have known about this for a while possibly. My SUV has 94,067 miles on it and has not had any collisions or anything like that recently that could have caused this fuel leak.
On I35, driving 70, vehicle suddenly lost acceleration completely and we were able to coast to shoulder, car still running. Warning light low oil pressure came on as well as sydtem trans alert. When put in gear would go 10 yards, would quit.
On a clear day with a temperature of about 65 degrees, had been driving car approximately 25 minutes between 45 to 55 miles per hour, wiht last at least 10 minutes at 55. After turning onto divided highway and driving 55 miles per hour for about 7 minutes, with no warning car stopped responding to accelerator. Had to coast onto shoulder. Kept trying to get accelerator to respond.tried no foot on accelerator, lightly pressing accelerator and completely depressing accelerator and everything in between finally was able to get car to drive at approximately 20 miles per hour, then car ceased responding to accelerator and stalled. Restarted car and could drive at approximately 1/2 mile per hour even when flooring and or fluttering accelerator. Tried to restart car numerous times and it would start, then immediately stall out. Car then car completely ceased responding to accelerator. Had to have towed and am awaiting response from technician. I initially thought the cause may be a fuel pump, but after reading complaints from Ford edge customers suspect it may be a throttle body issue. Will wait to hear from technician. This was a very dangerous situation dropping from 55 to 0 within less than a minute.
I keep get the check fuel fill inlet system error on my vehicle. I've had it fixed but the light comes right back on. My car jerks as I am driving and sometimes stalls.
The throttle valve assembly was bad. The car stopped running when the wife was driving highway 105 at 50 mph. She turned on the flashers and was able to get off to the side of the highway after a short time the car was able to be restarted and driven back to the house. The same thing happened again about two months later. This is a very dangerous situation. The engine stops with no warning.
