While driving. the all wheel drive off and wrench lights up on the car dash screen. The car stalls and comes to stop. If I wait a minute it starts up. It repeatedly does this, then it will be okay for some time before it does again. I’ve. Had it at Ford garage, they say can’t duplicate or find anything on the scanner. It’s dangerous to drive this way. I would appreciate any help you can give me.
2012 Ford Edge engine complaints
Page 2 of 3: complaints 11 to 40 of 64, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The contact owns a 2012 Ford Edge. The contact stated while driving approximately 55 MPH, the vehicle stalled inadvertently. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was unable to restart and was towed to a tow lot. The vehicle was then towed to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the engine needed to be replaced. The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 27,425. The VIN was invalid.
Had diagnosis test done and did process of elimination. Said needed ignition coils/ spark plugs did all that plus fuel injector and oxygen sensor put in bran new and check engine still blinking and car stutters. Only 10miles per gallon on car. You can smell fumes inside car severally. Looked on website and said this car had recall on fuel system/ gasoline. So am I able to take in to manufacture and they fix free cuz of seriously dangerous defect. Car could egnite.
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.
I've had the car for a year and it suddenly loses power during acceleration and Is throwing the P0299 turbocharger code. I was getting on the interstate when the car did this the 1st and 2nd times. It was a very busy time of day and my car suddenly decellerated in front of an 18 wheeler with my kids in the car. NO MATTER how hard I hit the gas it would not go and I almost got ran over by a tractor trailer. I had to slam on brakes and squeeze between the on ramp and a bridge guardrail to not be hit.
Tl* the contact owns a 2012 ford edge. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the vehicle stalled. The contact also stated that the brakes would not engage when the brake pedal was depressed. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the brake master cylinder, the throttle body, and the brake booster needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired however, the failure with the brakes recurred. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure and informed the contact that since the vehicle was not under warranty, no assistance would be offered. The failure mileage was approximately 90,118.
There should be a recall on the harmonic balance on the 2012 ford. The part is out of stock and backordered every where.
I was driving home from work, goin 45mph approaching active railroad crossing, my vehicle started to misfire & went from 40- 20 MPH, luckily I stopped before the tracks bcz as soon as I did the lights came in for a train. My car could have broke down on the tracks if I didn't stop. So while waiting for the train to pass, I turned my car off and back on to see if it was just a random but it continued to misfire and when it was safe for me to tcross the trax, I was able to make it but my vehicle would get to10mph. I pulled over & had my vehicle towed to the ciocca dealership, which it has been for the last month bec apparently the power train control module malfunctioned and burt out 3 out of 6 coils. The repairs for this will cost me over $4000.00 which is not something I can afford. I have a "power train" warranty that won't cover a faulty defective "power train control module"?? Matter of fact, it won't cover anything at all to help ease my cost. And the worst part, I have only owned this vehicle for 1 1/2 years. Not even 2 years. This car was a issue from the moment I drove it off the lot and now since I can't afford to pay for the defective module....the dealership says to me, I should just reconsider this car all together bcz it needs a lot done for inspection this month...?? Like I owned it for not even 2 years ..I have 4 more years on a loan that they won't pay off so I can but another car? How does this even fall on me when I was sold piece if junk with a pretty face basically.. I was out into a unsafe predicament due to a faulty defective module that malfunctioned in the middle of me driving with no warning what so ever. Ford and the dealership I purchased not from(not the dealership I towed it to) have been completely 110% unhelpful..like they won't even return my phone calls and when I call they leave me on hold for hours until I hang up and call back.
Tl* the contact owns a 2012 ford edge. The contact stated that the turbo charger failed while driving. The check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to paul clark ford (464046 state rd 200, yulee, fl 32097) and was diagnosed that a new catalytic convertor was needed prior to replacing the turbo charger. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that the vehicle was not under recall. The manufacturer provided a case number. The failure mileage was approximately 125,000.
Well like anyone you are overjoyed when you purches a car off the lot however mine has been a nightmare , I brought a vehcle for 5,000 from argent motors and I only brought the car because the salesman told me that the waterpump was damaged however 32 minutes after leaving this car lot my engine went on my truck so my engine blew in the middle of the new jersey turnpike , I had a newborn baby on the side of the road for over two hour once I waited for the tow truck I called the car lot and the owner basically told me he'll see me in court . They knew this truck wasnt driveable they knew it was unsafe when I put my children in and drove off
I was driving home from work when my car suddenly lost power and started to shake. I was driving on a suberban street and was literally at a active railroad crossing when it happened. So I stopped the car. I was able to drive it slowly to a safe place to pullover. The car was spitting out fire chunks out of the exhaust. I had no idea what was happening. I had it towed to the dealership who explained the power train control module malfunctioned wich cause it to melt/seize the coils in 3 if the cylinders. I have a power train warranty but was told none of it would be covered? When researching this issue it seems to be a very common issue with this model of vehicle. Its not only a safety issue, but it's a known defect with ford vehicles, not just my make and model. I am extremely upset bcz I can not afford the costs it will take to repair. I owned this car for less than 2 years. I take it it and have it routinely serviced. There was nothing I could have done to prevent this. It's a defect and it is a unsafe defect. I was in the middle of driving and it just happened out of nowhere.
Power loss driving down road . Almost caused a bad accident, stalled in middle of road had to turn car off and back on . This has happened 3 times no error code is coming on . A tool symbol flashes until you restart car .
Throttle body is causing car to stop at times while driving at an elecrated rate of speed for no reason. This should not be happy in a car that is a 2012 and only has 68000 miles. This happens on an open highway. It has happened multiple times, I selected the last time.
Tl* the contact owns a 2012 ford edge. While the contact's daughter was driving 55 MPH, she smelled an abnormal fuel odor. The driver stated that fuel spewed threw the engine compartment. The contact arrived at the scene, cut the fuel line, attached another rubber fuel line onto the engine compartment, and was able to drive home. The contact called autonation ford (20777 katy fwy, katy, tx 77450, (281) 305-8949), but no assistance was provided. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that the VIN was not included in a recall. The failure mileage was unknown.
My ford edge shut down while driving down the road. It just shut off. You have to put it back in park in order to start it again. This happened while going to the in our town store. I am so relieved it was not while on the freeway. Had I been on the freeway, going at fast speeds, if the cars behind me were not paying attention I could have been hit, or worse killed. When I took it to the shop I found out that it is a known problem. It's technical service bulletin 15-0178, issued on nov 2015. What I don't understand is why there's not a recall? Is someone going to have do die first? Attached is the service recall. I've contacted ford, spoken with evergreen ford in issaquah (where my car currently is) and filed a complaint with the attorney general here in washington state.
Intermittent loss of brakes. Brake peddle goes to the floor board. Also engine has now died twice when idling once at a stop, once while parked.
Vehicle displays a warning "vehicle coolant over temperature" the vehicle had been inspected twice and the technicians claimed not to have been able reproduce the error and also claimed that the computer was not "spitting" out any errors. The message displays within the first file miles after the car has been stationary for more than 2 hours and it is displayed for 10-20 seconds.
Tl* the contact owns a 2012 ford edge. The contact stated that the vehicle hesitated when the accelerator pedal was depressed. Also, the check engine warning indicator illuminated. Town and country ford nashville (101 anderson ln, madison, tn) was contacted and diagnosed that the turbo bypass solenoid was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer twice where it was diagnosed that two more solenoids were faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred again. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer where they diagnosed that the turbo assembly was defective and needed to be replaced. The failure was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failures. The failure mileage was 83,000.
After researching ford edge research there were so many complaints of people having the same thing occur to them. My car will start and be driving then all of a sudden the car literally looses all power and the car shuts down. This has happened to me twice and it appears that ford doesn't want to issue a recall on this. People's lives are in danger, there is no warning of when this will happen and then you stuck sitting on the road while in drive as your car lost power.
While driving down the road and approaching a stop sign or red light the vehicle stalls and losses all power, no steering, brakes are hard to apply. This is extremely scary in traffic
I started my 2012 edge and heard the starter take longer to turn over and start the car. Within moments the check engine icon appeared. I took my edge in to auto hobby shop located on a military installation. The service representative used his code reader machine to view code p0456. Which he said it indicated a minor fuel leak. He performed a smoke check said he noticed smoke leaking. I called my local ford dealership to check if there were any fuel system recalls. They said there was, but not for my VIN. Of the 3 recalls out for a 20012 edge, I only recieved one. Are recalls only for specific years/models/VIN's? How can I get my issue repaired? Could my VIN be added to the recall if I had a relating issue?
After pulling out in traffic on 1/15/18, going about 50 MPH, my 2012 ford edge suddenly lost power and the wrench warning light appeared. I had to shut the car down and restart it several times to slowly get it out of traffic - each time the wrench warning light appeared and the vehicle lost power. Finally, after getting out of traffic I shut it down and let it sit for a few minutes, restarted it and this time the awd warning light appeared but my car is not an awd vehicle. Then the wrench light appeared again. Had it towed to the local dealer. They couldn't find any computer memory record of what happened and had their technician drive it home to see if the problem duplicated itself. It did not. After 3 days at the dealership they could not find anything wrong with the vehicle and I picked it up and drove it home. I should add that my vehicle has only 26,000 miles on it. In reading these complaints mine is not the only complaint about this issue and ford needs to figure out and repair those vehicles affected by this problem. This is definitely a safety issue!
While driving my 2012 ford edge limited with less than 60000 miles the vehicle just died in the middle of traffic, no steering, no power nothing. The problem has happened close to 15 times.
Vehicle suddenly stops going, no acceleration. Happens without warning, forcing you to get off the road. Must shut off vehicle and restart. Creates a very hazardous situation where you can be traveling on the interstate going 65 MPH & suddenly have no power! Engine is running but there's no acceleration whatsoever. My warranty just ran out & I have less than 36000.0 miles on this car! Only happens when you're traveling which means you have no way of preparing & puts your life in jeopardy.
2012 ford edge. Consumer writes in regards to engine failure. *ld the consumer stated the vehicle would rapidly lose acceleration. The failure was intermittent therefore, the dealer could not duplicate or, repair the vehicle. The fuel inlet failed, as well. Updated 11/07/2017
Engine came on and vehicle slows down or stalls when driving. Dealer diagnosed problem was throttle body #at4z-9e926-b and replaced it at a cost of $333.23. Dealer and georgina at ford customer service stated no warranty or "customer satisfaction program" coverage for cost. Problem is same as ford escape covered in program.
I was driving on a busy, city street at approximately 30mph when my 2012 ford edge sport lost power and the "wrench" warning light came on. I had to carefully move towards the right lane and was able to coast into the parking lot of a convenience store. I turned it off, waited 10 minutes, and it started up again. I drove home the 3 miles without incident. The same afternoon, I drove it to the nearest ford dealer to have it checked out. Their report showed no codes and told us there was nothing they could do. I drove it that night about 30 miles without any problems. The next morning, I exited my neighborhood tract into a busy intersection where the car died again. I barely coasted once again to safety after trying to make it through the intersection with the threat of oncoming traffic. This was terrifying. I called a tow truck and the car was towed to the same dealer where they continue to say there is no code and they cannot duplicate the problem after driving it. They did replace the battery, saying that it was low, even though the battery is less than one year old. I am not confident that replacing the battery will fix the problem and they don't seem confident either. They have had the car for 5 days now and want us to pick up the car up tomorrow. How can I feel secure driving my family in a car that has put me in this dangerous predicament? I have spoken to the service manager, ford regional managers, and none of them are empathetic to this situation and they offer no solution.
While driving, the check engine light illuminates along with a sudden loss of power indicating "limp" mode has been entered. Power off the car followed by restart seems to clear the code and allow normal operation with good engine power. Electronic throttle body seems to be the culprit. This is a rather dangerous occurrence when driving on busy, crowded streets and freeways. This has happened multiple times. Most recent is 24 september 2017.
My check engine light is on, shows code p0299 which refers to an underboost condition with the turbo or supercharger system. My mechanic spoke to a dealership who stated they've put 3 parts in the vehicle they have in the shop and its still not fixed. Sounds like its a common issue. Can you investigate for a recall?
