The car accelerated while I was braking while parking on the street, this problem is reoccurring. I also constantly get a warning that my car is overheating while the bar line is on cold. I tried putting anti freeze and it doesn't help. The car also turned off at a green light when I turned on my air conditioner. Lastly I got a warning that my oil pressure is low although I just got an oil and filter change the day before. Please do a recall for these things. I have a child and it is very unwise to put him in any danger by being in this car.

While sitting in stop[ and go traffic a warning is issued that the engine is overheating! I turn on the heater while driving and the notice goes off! When I approach the car the rear tailgate door opens and at times I can't lock the doors after parking the car! Some times a notice of oil pressure is low while driving!

I have received faulty error messages on the vehicle, for example the other day I was driving down the road and the light came on like the car was overheated however there was no smoke coming from the car and the temperature gauge never moved up. My passenger car door light sensor says that there is a door ajar when all doors are closed whether the vehicle is stationary or driving along the city street. When I open the front passenger door and close it sometimes the inside lights remain on in the vehicle.

I own a 2011 ford edge limited with a 3.5l, 6 cylinder engine. The vehicle has been faithfully maintained since I purchased it at ~30,000 miles. On 5/25/2018 while driving out-of-state and with approximately 120,000 miles the vehicle began exhibiting symptoms of stalling at stops and while parking; there were no warning lights or indications of trouble. Pulling off the road I inspected the automatic transmission fluid first, since that seemed the most-likely culprit. During this check I overheard a lot of noise as hot coolant was being ejected into the coolant overflow reservoir and it was while the car was parked that the overheat indicator first sounded. After shutting off the engine I noticed water on the pavement under the vehicle. I arranged for the vehicle to be towed to a ford dealership where it was determined the coolant pump had failed. Though completely without symptoms until the final few minutes, because the pump is driven by the engine's timing chain, enough damage had been done that a significant amount of coolant had entered the engine. The engine would start, but pressures in cylinders 2 and 4 were compromised and unknown other damage had occurred. The ford service advised that the pump replacement would cost on the order of $2,000 and that life-expectancy for the part was 150,000 miles - two numbers that seem incongruous by themselves for a maintenance item. In addition, the absence of a cooling system warning facilitated driving the vehicle while catastrophic damage was caused to the engine.

This vehicle has an internal water (coolant) pump that failed with no warning or indications of any type. When the pump fails the engine overheats rapidly and the engine shuts down and locks up. At the time of the failure, I was driving at highway speed and was forced to pull over immediately, fortunately traffic was light, or this could have caused a serious and catastrophic accident.

I have had the vehicle for 6 months, in april 2014 the first incident occurred when the car overheated on 3 different occasions and emptied all the antifreeze on the third time. Brought the car to the dealer, dealer found no error codes and let the vehicle run for 4 hrs with the A/C on and found nothing to be wrong. A few weeks later I was driving down the road and the car just shut down, luckily I was driving in a construction zone and was only going about 35 MPH. I was able to coast to the side of the road and let the car sit for a few minutes. Restarted car and continued home. Also, the car has died while 5 more times since then while sitting in a drive through for a few minutes. And finally yesterday, the car just stopped 4 times within a 2 mile period. Very frustrated and afraid that this will happen when I am traveling on the highway and possible get rear ended or killed.
