On 11/7-22, I stopped at a major traffic light on my way to work and when the traffic light turned green and I motioned to drive forward, I noticed my car had stalled and proceeded to roll backwards in traffic. I quickly placed my foot on the gas pedal to move forward, however my car continued to roll backwards, almost hitting the vehicle behind me. So I immediately put on my emergency lights and pressed the brakes repeatedly, however my brakes were frozen (hard) and did not stop my car from rolling backwards. After several minutes, my car stopped rolling backwards and I was able to restart it and slowly drive off the major highway to get assistance. When driving off the highway my car was moving extremely slow and rough. Since the incident, my car have not been inspected or repaired by a mechanic. Prior to this incident, my car have stalled out at stops and while driving but never rolled backwards or lost brake control.

Takata airbags recall. This has been a known problem for years. These people are stalling hoping that many of these cars will wind up in the junk yard before they have to fix them. While they are screwing around they should have to pay to disable these airbags until they get a fix available. Apparently it is ok with the ntsb that I risk my life twice (in an accident and having my head blown off by these defective airbags. )

Bad electronic throttle body and it's sensor. This is a common and costly repair with ford vehicles but they have refused a recall. It is dangerous as it causes your vehicle to completely shut down while driving. It happens frequently when accelerating or randomly when driving at various speeds. The first time it happened I was driving 60 MPH and my car suddenly shut down and locked up then was unable to start so I had to get it towed.

Ford dealer has my 2007 ford edge due to it stalling out while driving 60 MPH on a highway causing my engine to die so I had to get towed home and off of the highway. The dealer originally thought it was the electronic throttle body but they have now determined that was not the problem. Instead it is the PCM which is costing me over $1500, if that even fixes this. Plus I have been paying for a rental car because the dealers don't have free loaner vehicles. So this whole thing is going to cost me about $2000. Now I have been researching this problem, and can clearly tell this is not normal wear and tear instead it is a faulty part that so many other owners are experiencing. I clearly see ford has been made aware of this problem and they should be taking responsibility for their mistake. Ford has refused to issue a recall on this problem even though it is very dangerous and costly for the vehicle owner. I have never owned a ford before and likely will not again because of this bad experience.
