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

Driving on us highway 27, 65 MPH at night. Car just stopped dead on the road, no warning, plenty of gas. I could have been killed! Had it towed to ford dealer was told it was the fuel pump. I searched the internet and found for my year,make and model a recall for the fuel pump. But, according to my VIN my vehicle isn't covered. How is this possible since its the same problem on the same vehicles?

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.

Takata recall I purchased my 2012 ford edge sel april 22, 2019. Today, may 31st 2019 on my way horne from work the vehicle lost steering and power. I had just passed a semi-truck on a small farm town black top road and came up on a stop sign. In the process of turning to the left from the stop the incident occurred. Luckily I was able to make it out of the road. After several attempts to restart the vehicle I had to find an alternate way home. *when starting the vehicle the engine did run however it sounded as it was "starved" or "mis-firing", there was heavy white smoke dispersing from the exhaust and when I would attempt to put it in drive it would die. The oil level is fine, the antifreeze is fine, it is not overheating and there were no signs or symptoms of an issue. This was completely unexpected and occurred with no warning. The vehicle is currently parked where it died; a half hour away from my home. I am thankful my 15 year old daughter was not driving when this happened and even more thankful that this sporadic activity did not result in a fatal or crippling crash with another individual. As I research the causes it appears this issue is not isolated and has been occurring since 2008. I pray it is investigated and notice is shared before the potentials become a reality. Please be proactive vs reactive and assure this issue is addressed for the people.
