the throttle body has failed, suspected by me doing research going back 11 years of the Ford Edge almost killing people while driving it. confirmed by my local ford dealership that i do infact need a new throttle body and gaskets. it goes into limp mode, the car loses power and stops working in the middle of driving 50 mph. No check engine light remains on, only a wrench icon appears until you restart the car, then the car works again for another 30 miles or until it wants to cause a major accident again. This is a HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. My car will jolt down to 10 mph, as if I slammed the brakes, while driving, not even having my foot on the gas, down the HIGHWAY where the speed limit it 55. THIS IS A KILLING MACHINE. I only have moments to pull over to the median or somewhere before I cause a major accident. They have recalled the 2009 through 2013 ford fusion and escape, as well as the milan and mariner because of the same issue. I have read hundreds of accounts online of the same thing happening in Edges... how can you allow this to go unchecked.

Car starts to idle rough primarily while approaching/sitting at stop lights though has happened while in motion. It starts to shake before low engine oil pressure light and/or service engine light comes on. Car then "freezes" as can't steer, can't go forward or reverse and can't shift into another gear. Car turns off and may restart without any issue or may struggle to turn back on after many tries (10) with normal function. Online search indicates this is a common problem for this year, make & model with problem being attributed to one of the following: bad oil pressure sensor and/or valve, bad oil sending unit, bad bearings, water pump issue resulting in antifreeze backup, faulty tachometer or bad battery junction box

There is a partial recall on these model ford edge's. Where the brake booster and brake master cylinder are defective and cause the brakes to fill with air and lose partial and sometimes total loss of braking power. This happened to my 2012 ford edge sport. I bought new factory parts and had them installed by a professional. They went out again. It had to do with he factory of the parts. Please place a mass recall on this part. My wife and kids shouldn't get into a wreck due to brakes going out again. They already have totally gone out twice. The 2nd time my wife with daughter and my son in the car couldnt slow down in time and got into a fender bender. It wasn't serious. This time. Thank you. Also, another problem that has been noted by thousands of ford edge owners is the style of fuel door. It doesn't seal properly which in return causes a check engine light to appear on the instrument cluster. Please investigate this issue as sell. Thank you.

I was having an engine light come on intermittently sometimes even just after my vehicle had been in for warranty work. It would sometimes even make a stalling engine sound when I filled the tank with gas. With the light on one of these occasions I took it to autozone and was told that two of the 02 sensors were bad. The next day I took the vehicle I'm to find out that a cannister purge valve had gone bad and needed to be replaced. A week later I get a recall on my 2nd vehicle, a ford focus 2014 for the cpv.
