When the car is at a complete stop or at low speed and then you start to drive again or pick up speed (ex: at a stop light or in a traffic jam) the car will jerk even when coasting and it will not pick up speed. It almost sounds like a belt is unwinding but it isn't. If I pull the car over, turn it completely off and wait a minute or two, it starts up again and drives with no problem. This happens several times a week. It also has a burning smell but no smoke is visible and nothing on the dashboard shows any indication of overheating engine. I've read online that this exact issue was found in newer models of the Ford Edge. No check engine light. Definitely a transmission issue as found in other newer models. This is a very dangerous issue and needs to be recalled.

Sudden and total loss of power while driving vehicle in traffic. There was warning, no engine light and there are no codes to diagnose. This is a life-threatening hazard and should be addressed and not dismissed by ford. Some say it could be several solutions to the problem but the main solution has been the throttle position switch and throttle body assembly. This is a manufacturing issue and should be consider a recall fix with no cost to the owner.

2009 ford edge awd 80k miles strong gas smell and evidence of leak seen in driveway prompted visit to mechanic. Leak discovered coming from corroded seam of fuel tank on passenger side. No check engine light ever alerted me that there was a problem. Internet search revealed fuel tank recall of 128,000 ford edge and lincoln mkx cars built at oakville assembly plant between september 1th, 2008 through july 1st, 2010. My car was built at that plant at that time but I was never informed of the recall.(fomoco recall number: 15s31) I called ford and they said my car was not included in the recall.

Safety- on april 30,2009 I purchased a new 2009 ford edge. On memorial day, 2009, 1 month after it was purchased and with approx. 1200 miles on it in heavy traffic on the nys thruway it made a loud clunking sound, jerked and within 5 seconds just shut off. Vehicle would not move, it had to be towed. Was taken in for service, they found nothing. On october 31, 2009, again, I was on the nys thruway, it did the same identical thing, made a loud clunking noise, jerked and within 5 seconds just shut off. Both times I was barely able to make it to the edge of the road. I called for a tow truck, but in the meantime this time it started after about 15 minutes. The check engine light was on until the next morning and then it went off. Again, I took it in for service, again, they found nothing. They said there was no codes showing up for anything wrong. This is a severe safety issue. Someone could get killed when this happens and I have very small grandchildren that could be with me. I am not comfortable driving this vehicle. I contacted ford direct and a specialist from ford contacted me today by the name of denise. She said ford wouldn't replace any parts without a code coming up in their computer. I asked her if they were going to just wait until someone was killed and she said that ford will not approve any parts being replaced since they don't know what the problem is. Ford has now put approximately 500 miles themselves on the vehicle test driving it, and I still have no solution. This is not right. This is extemely dangerous and something needs to be done to rectify this situation. Any help that you can offer would be very much appreciated.
