2011 Ford Edge transmission complaints
Page 6 of 7: complaints 131 to 160 of 172, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Engine stalled on interstate. Had to pull into the emergency lane, shift to park, and restart. Appears to be the same issue that ford has recalled for other models that use the same defective part! Car was taken to dealer after this occurred, however the error codes do not retain after restarting. No trouble was found, could not replicate. Have had subsequent stalls since, going back to dealer wednesday this week, however warranty has now expired.
Vehicle stalled. This is the 4th stall. First 3 were on the interstate at speed, this time in the driveway. Dealer has checked and found no issues, all diagnostics are good. Full tank of good gas. No indications of what's going. Seems to be identical to the same issue that was investigated and ford has acknowledged for a more popular model under ford consumer satisfaction program 13n03. Based on the complaints I am reason online and the write-ups leading to the recall, believe the recall should be expanded to include additional models using the same technology...likely the same tb assembly.
During driving, the engine stopped and car would not accelerate, there was a complete loss of power. There was no warning, and the "yellow wrench" light came on, and car would not go. This was in the middle of the road and could not get off of the road. It happened so quickly, there was no time to react to try to pull over. Lost steering and couldn't move anywhere. Waited for 1 min or so, and restarted car.
The vehicle in question started to die and there was no acceleration. I would restart the car and you couldn't really accelerate and eventually it would die again. No warning whatsoever. The vehicle was towed to the dealership and after three days they finally found that the camshaft broke and ruined the engine. The engine needs to be replaced. The car is only three years old and has 60,517 miles. I am 517 miles over the warranty and I would think in good faith, ford would honor the warranty, but I was told it's in black and white. No one can explain to me how and what caused the camshaft to break. "it's a freak thing" is not a good answer and doesn't answer my question. The technician is baffled. Car has been very well maintained. I would also think that ford would want to investigate and get to the bottom of this so it doesn't happen to anyone else. Ford needs to stand behind their product. Their advertising is misleading because my car is not reliable and not built tough! You wonder why people buy foreign car because they last!
Accelerator goes limp during acceleration and "wrench" icon appears on dash. The engine continues to run with electrical power, pressing on accelerator has no effect. Car can be coasted to side of road. Stopping and re-starting the engine clears the issue and car will accelerate normally. This has occurred 5 times, at random, at various speeds (I.e. 50, 60, 30 MPH). Car was taken into dealer after 2nd occurrence. Dealer could not find any error codes stored and said ford procedure in this case was to "reset" computer. Issue continued to occur after getting vehicle back from dealer. On the 5th occurrence of the issue, owner ran a vehicle health report (vhr) (before stopping and re-starting engine) and the issue was captured in the report. Here is the issue documented in the vhr: the wrench icon may be illuminated in your dash or console or may appear in your message center. The vehicle diagnostics indicate a parameter that is out of normal range or that a component has failed. Systems within your vehicle need prompt service and/or inspection. Urgent powertrain malfunction / reduced power powertrain fault: illuminates when an electric throttle control (etc), transmission, awd/4x4 or fuel system fault has been detected. Contact your authorized dealer as soon as possible. Car was taken back to dealer on may 6, 2014. Dealer identified error codes and said vehicle had a defective throttle body component. Component will need to be replaced. Ford extended service plan does not cover cost, owner is responsible for component replacement ($560.00 estimated).
Our 2011 awd ford edge is having an issue that it randomly loses acceleration and a wrench warning will show up as well as turn on awd at the same time RPM gauge will fluctuate. The car will go limp and hesitate until we stop to put in park and restart, then it will drive until the next time it occurs.
Issue 1 of 2: on 3 separate occasions the engine has suddenly lost power, lost speed and the engine shook and ran extremely rough. There was a message with a wrench on the screen that said see owners manual, but no useful information was given. The warning message later went away with no evidence of a problem. 2 of the incidents occurred at highway speed and nearly cause severe multi-car accidents. Another incident was at a lower speed of about 45 MPH and did not occur on a major highway. Issue 2 of 2: as a separate issue, there have been 2 occurrences of a very hash clunk from the transmission that felt as if the vehicle hit something. More information: the vehicle was purchased used at carmax with 213000 miles on it, purchase date: 01/28/2014.
I was driving down a busy road when all of a sudden the vehicle just cut off and the wrench light came up. I pulled over out of the way and it began to shake violently as I came closer to a stop, I then turned the key to off so it would stop shaking so violently. I tried restarting it ( somewhat struggled to restart but did come back on). The vehicle then was fine acted like nothing was wrong. Since then this has happen multiple times. I took it to ford to diagnose the issue. My local dealership where I purchased the edge said it was the electric throttle body. They then began to tell me that they have had to replace this on several vehicles and ford has yet to recall it. This is very dangerous and this is the second issue I have had with this vehicle that effected the driving ability. The car has yet to be fixed due to waiting on ford's reply to my complaint with this vehicle.
Over the last month, my vehicle has had stalling issues while idling. All of the times it has occurred while my vehicle is idling at a red light and the vehicle sounds like the engine shuts off then jumps back on. However, one of the times, my vehicle completely stalled and I had to put my vehicle in park, turn it off then turn it back on. During this time the light had turned green and luckily no one was behind me. My local ford dealer is fixing this issue, however, they are saying it is not covered under the ford certified pre-owned comprehensive limited warranty or the ford certified pre-owned powertrain limited warranty. I researched this issue and noticed other ford and lincoln models have had the same issue and are within the same year as my ford edge was manufactured, 2011.
I was just driving along, and all of the sudden the 2011 ford edge just stalled completely and would not move, so I was able to pull over to the side of the road when all of the sudden the whole care began to shake violently. The display showed a wrench and said to check owners manual, which according to fords owners manual means power train problem. I was able to restart the vehicle and drive it and it acted like nothing happened, got to work and parked. Later that day drove it about a mile with no incident. Left work and just pulled out of the lot same thing happened, stalled and shook violently so I turned the car off. It started with no problem, went to pull back in the lot and it all happened again. I had the car towed to mathew curries ford in nokomis, fl. Service tech says hes not able to replicate the problem so he doesn't know what is wrong with the vehicle. There seems to be alot of other complaints with the same problem. This is a very dangerous situation that can cause serious motor vehicle accident, and ford needs to correct the issue since this seems to be an ongoing issue. I don't know if I will ever be able to feel safe driving this vehicle again. I just bought this vehicle and have not even made my first car payment, its in the shop already.. I am not happy!!
Tl* the contact owns a 2011 ford edge. The contact stated that while driving approximately 50 MPH, the power train warning light illuminated as the vehicle began to independently decelerate. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnosis. The technician stated that the throttle body would need to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 50,000.
While traveling at approximately 30 miles per hour, the car suddenly stalled, although it would move at a very slow speed at a rough idle, maybe 1 mile per hour, no matter how hard the accelerator was depressed. Simultaneously, a yellow wrench warning light appeared. I pulled into a parking lot and let the engine run, it remained running rough at a very slow speed. I continued for about a minute, then shut the engine off. After restart, the car ran normally with no warning indicators. I took the car to a ford dealer where they could not reproduce the problem, and was told that because I shut the car off, any error codes were cleared. They could also not perform a repair if they did not know the cause, although they said it is probably the throttle body. Without error codes, there was nothing they could do. This is a safety problem, I was fortunate to not be on the highway going 60 miles per hour.
When driving wrench symbol comes on dash . Car losses power .when press on gas car does not move . Rpm gauge goes crazy (up and down ).have to pull over .shut car off .restart engine. Drive car until it losses power again without warning. Very dangerous. Someone is going to die this problem needs to be look at .it is going to happen in an intersection ,on a turn , on railroad tracks .only the car knows when it is going to lose power.
Our 2011 awd ford edge is having an issue that it randomly loses acceleration while driving and a wrench warning will then show up as well as awd off warning sign, at the same time RPM gauge will fluctuate. The car will go limp and hesitate until it's in a safe area to stop then put in park and restart, then it will drive normal until the next the occurrence. Which you will never know when. This has happen 3 times within the last week. We have found that it's become a safety concern and a life threatening issue that it randomly becomes unresponsive while on the road. Ford dealer state's that there's nothing wrong and that theirs no codes on the vehicle. Since my families lives are at risk, without any attempt to repair I've done some research myself. It's seems more than obvious that there's an issue after reviewing just a few of thousands among thousands of complaints regarding the same issue that I'm having with my 2011 ford edge. This issue has not only become a safety issue it has also become an inconvenience to my spouse and family. I ask that you ford service team makes every attempt to not put anyone's life at risk. Without any attempt their will be no relief or reassurance that I or my family can feel safe in this vehicle.
Driving down the road, the vehicle suddenly lost power and the gas pedal became unresponsive. "see manual" warning light with a wrench icon came on. Pulled car over, and restarted the vehicle at which time the car drove normally. Took it to local dealership, where they were unable to pull the error code. Continued driving vehicle and error occurred intermittently. Today, occurred twice on my drive in to work (5 miles), the second time the "check engine" light came on. Took vehicle to autozone, they pulled a p2111 code. Having throttle body serviced tomorrow at local repair shop. The last time this happened today was in an intersection - very nearly caused an accident. This throttle body failure seems to be a common issue. I find it very curious that there has not been a recall yet as this is clearly a widespread issue and it is clearly a safety issue.
While driving the all wheel drive shuts down and you have no power. I shut the engine off and re-start. It worked for about 100 yards and did it again. It did this 7 times in less than 10 miles. It did not do it again for about 10 days. Then it did it 5 times in less than 2 miles. It happens at various speeds. Both in manual and automatic. This past weekend it happened another 3 times while out of town on a mini-vacation.
While making a turn the vehicle suddenly stalled out without warning, luckily the car coming towards me slowed in time and I was able to coast to the middle lane. Check engine light appeared and also a wrench symbol. After a few minutes I restarted the car and it did turn on, I was driving without issues, when going 45 MPH the vehicle shook and again stalled out. Having my 1 year old son in the car was very frightening, I was terrified I would be hit by another vehicle as the edge suddenly turns off with no warning. Being we live in a somewhat rural area and having my son, I was determined to make it home, which thank goodness I did safely, unfortunately after stalling out 2-3 more times. My husband took the edge to the dealership today which they claim it is the throttle body, and since we do not have the extended warranty is $800. After seeing these other posts it seems that there should be a ford recall. Thankfully no one was hurt, but it can lead to a fatality if the edge stalls on the freeway or busy road, its very scary. I purchased a new car to feel safe and to have my son safe, I feel far from and I want nothing but to get rid of this vehicle. Something needs to be done. Vin unavailable as my car is still at the dealership.
While driving around 65mph, the vehicle suddenly went into "limp" mode with no ability to maintain speed. I was on a 3 lane bridge without a shoulder and it was difficult to navigate the vehicle safely through traffic from the far left lane, across the bridge, and onto the upcoming shoulder. The red "wrench" light came on along with the "awd" light. Pressing the gas pedal had no impact to RPM's (which stayed around 700rpm). Brake screeching from another vehicle was heard as my vehicle coasted across the 2 lanes of traffic. After coming to a stop, I turned off vehicle and restarted without any warning lights and vehicle drove normally. Incident occurred again 1 week later in heavy traffic, aproximately 65mph. Red wrench light, awd light. This time engine light also came on. I maintained my lane, put on my hazard lights, put car in neutral, turn off ignition while coasting, slightly tapped brake to restart the car. Vehicle started but warning lights did not reset and vehicle still in limp mode. Without the ability to maintain speed, I coasted to the shoulder and came to a complete stop. Turned off vehicle again. Restart and red wrench light was off and awd light was off. Engine light stayed on. Vehicle drove normally. Took it to a dealer who replaced the throttle body at my cost. Vehicle is not safe when suddenly going into "limp".
Driving down the street and vehicle acts like it is running out of gas or vapor locking. Accelerator all the way down and vehicle slowing down to a stop. Wrench light comes on vehicle and take to ford dealership for repair. I feel like this should be covered under warranty due to the fact that several other throttles have reported going out on this year model.
Driving on I-65 in an area with 4-5 lanes of traffic with a speed zone of 65 MPH when the vehicle lost power - wrench light warning light came on - had to maneuver the vehicle across 3 lanes of traffic during rush hour to reach the emergency lane. It was sheer luck that I made it to the emergency lane without being hit by another vehicle as I could not speed up the car and the speed was nearing zero MPH. The vehicle had to be towed into the dealership where it was diagnosed and eventually repaired under warranty. It took the dealership approximately one week to repair the power train issue. Per my research on various ford edge sites, this is a very common occurrence and ford has failed to recall this issue. Luckily, I was not harmed. However, not everyone will be this fortunate. Ford needs to recall this issue asap.
My husband was driving; we were on a trip. The speed dropped from about 50 to a crawl; no acceleration. He pulled over and I pulled out the owner's manual. The info said there was a problem with the powertrain and the car would be in limp mode. My husband turned off ignition and restarted. It was okay for another couple of miles then happened again. Again he turned it off and restarted. The third time it happened, we pulled over and called ford. Luckily there was a dealership close by. However, when we talked to them, they said they'd have to do a diagnostic. We didn't leave the car. We didn't have another problem until july 25, 2013. It happened again twice while I was driving. The car is now at the dealers being checked out for the problem. First impression, it's the throttle.
While driving the car the car 'stalled' meaning I had no ability to accelerate the car, all other items worked ok, an amber wrench light came on, I pulled over, restarted the car and it worked fine. It happened again 3 days later approx the same speed. Seeming this has been an issue among other ford edge cars.
Travel on interstate highway in middle of three lanes at 75mph. Power to engine ceased. Engine would not respond to accelerator. Coasted across right lane of heavy traffic to get to right shoulder. Coasted to stop.
I purchased this certified pre owned 2011 ford edge and 3000 miles into owning it the drive train has repeatedly slipped and when it engages it slams. This seems to happen at any time mostly from after stopping and sometimes as the car is just driving at low speeds. I`m taking it in for this soon but from these other postings I don`t feel so good about what to expect.
On march 9, 2013 while driving 40 miles per hour, the vehicle jerked as if I had hit or been hit by something, pulled over into a parking lot, got out looked under my vehicle walked around and didn't hit anything, my motor didn't come out, didn't get hit by another vehicle, no blowout tires, got back in my vehicle and drove home with no other issues (wow). Then on march 31, 2013 while driving home from an out of town trip, almost home, on the interstate driving 75 miles per hour the vehicle jerked again like it did that day on march 9, my husband was in the passenger seat with his eyes closed and sat straight up and asked me if we had been hit. Explained to him this is exactly the same thing that happened to me a few weeks ago. Took it back in and of course the dealership could not replicate so a recorder was installed. On may 24, 2013 this happened again I pushed the button on the record and now my edge is back in the shop. I have been reading blogs on ford forum, apparently this problem has been going since 2007. If my vehicle decides to stall while this is occurring I'm in deep trouble I'll be rear ended and ford motor will have a law suit on their hands. Glad it didn't stall out on the highway because I may not be here today.
I purchased a certified used 2011 ford edge in january 2013. Shortly thereafter, I started noticing some major issues. 1) the transmission whines at low speeds, until I accelerate & it shifts up a few gears. I have also had it slip & clunk while shifting gears 2) there is a loud popping from the front end, passenger side, when I am turning, especially in & out of parking spots 3) there is a whistle coming from under the SUV, between the driver side doors & it does it in accessory mode or when the SUV is running. I have now had it back at the dealer for the 3rd time & they are working with ford on diagnosing the issues. It is very disheartening to spend so much money for a vehicle & have such issues. Thankfully it is certified & under warranty. The dealership has been good about getting me a loaner vehicle too. But I almost am ready to ask them to trade me out of it, because I am sick of dealing with the issues. It is embarrassing to have such a nice looking "new" vehicle & when people ride with me, they notice all the things wrong & say I got a bad deal.
The car repeatedly has transmission issues when slowing then accelerating from around 20 MPH. The transmission/power stops momentarily then it shifts with a very hard jerking sensation and a loud thud. I feel this issue will eventually put me and my family in danger.
I had been having on-going issues with engine surging, stalling and gear "skipping" since I first purchased the vehicle in december 2010, which I had reported to the dealership and about which I was in the midst of lemon law proceedings under ga lemon law. They are best described as similar in nature to those reported in the federal safety agency investigation here: http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/cars/2013/02/25/probe-ford-cars-suvs-stalling/1945799/ at times, the engine would cut out at high speeds and I'd be stuck in "limp mode". Other times the transmission would slip, then surge, making it feel as if I were hit from behind by another vehicle. Still other times, it might stall out at slow speeds (I.e. While making a turn, etc.), leaving me stuck in an intersection and vulnerable to being hit by oncoming traffic. Ford had attempted multiple times to fix this problem, but it kept recurring, even after many parts were rebuilt or replaced. Finally, the unresolved issue culminated in an accident on 11/26/12. I was coming off on a highway exist ramp and the engine "skipped" and surged, propelling me into the rear of the car in front of me. No one was treated for injury at the time of the crash, but the driver of the other car did report injury after the crash. My issue is still unresolved by ford. They claim they can't duplicate the issue and have made no attempts to get me out of this vehicle, which I am stuck driving until I can complete the lengthy lemon law process. I fear for my life every day that I have to drive it and am afraid to transport my children in it. Thank you for the opportunity to submit my claim.
As I was leaving work and pulled out of the parking lot onto the main road and my car stalled after reaching approx 10-15 MPH indicating me to "see manual" with a wrench on the screen then flashing "check engine oil pressure". As I came to a complete stop my edge began to shake violently and the RPM's began to jump up and down frantically. I then turned my edge off for 30 seconds. When I restarted it, it started without issue and idled fine. I was able to back it up and drive it under 10 MPH to park it over night. The following day (today) when I went to take it to the dealership the same thing happened except this time around only the "see manual" indicator flashed and I had to have it towed to the local ford dealership for servicing. Still no word on what it could possibly be. I checked the oil level, it was normal and have been having it serviced every 3,000 miles.
