2012 Ford Edge: adaptive cruise control problems

Filed Oct 1, 2022 · Fuel system · NJ

At a speed of about 60 mph I engaged the cruise control. About 10 seconds later car went into limp mode. Had to acceleration. Was able to pull off to side of road and then vehicle stalled. Put car in park waiting a few seconds and was able to start car again and continue driving with no further problems. This same problem occurred about a month earlier. That event was the same except it happened just after backing out of the driveway and starting up the road at a speed of about 5mph. Was able to restart and continue trip without any problems. Researched the problem and read comments from other people stating the same problem. Never happened before these two incidents

Vehicle purchased 12 feb 2012. At 8,344 miles, vehicle was checked into the service department at shamaley ford, el paso, tx because power brakes were not working on an intermittent basis. Complaint reads: "brake pedal hard and when pumping goes very low." service department comment: "cause: booster not working at times. 2005a brake booster assembly . . . Replace bt4z*2005*a booster asy - brake" now at 65,495 (16 may 2019), the same condition exists. Not involved in a collision, but a few times the vehicle came too close to other cars before stopping. Occurs consistently after being parked, and then intermittently at highway speeds while using cruise control. Stepping on brake failed to disengage cruise control the first time, had to take the foot off the brake pedal and step on the brake hard again. Happens a city speed limits, also intermittently. Defective part? Needs to be investigated, and if defective, issue a recall and hold ford responsible for free replacement.

Frequently a warning light will come on stating that the collision warning censor is blocked. As a result the cruise control will not work and the collision warning feature is also not working. By pressing an 'ok' button the warning light goes away and the system seems to work properly. It appears that this warning light comes on after going over a bump but not all bumps. The dealer has quoted me a price of nearly $2000 to replace the warning censor, and bracket. However, I am not convinced that the censor is defective since it often works properly.

Brake pedal hard when pushed. Makes whooshing sound when held to floor. Brakes will grab when pushed hard. Have noticed brake pedal is very hard to push when in reverse. It is hard to stop vehicle when backing up. At times after having cruise control set, brakes do not want to work at all.

While driving with cruise control set, vehicle going up a hill there was a sudden loss of power. The engine died (zero RPM indicated.) a few seconds later, the "low engine oil pressure" warning was displayed. Loss of power steering/brakes. Vehicle was carefully maneuvered off the highway. Attempted to restart repeatedly. Engine would only run for a few seconds, then died. Had vehicle towed to the ford dealer. No engine trouble codes detected. After sitting overnight, vehicle started and ran without issue. This is a definite safety hazard when a vehicle stalls at high speed on the highway.
