Shift to park message, not showing it is in park. Can only crank the car if you turn the key halfway and then shift to neutral to crank it. Once you put it back in park and set the emergency brake you can only crank it by repeating the process of Neutral cranking. Car will roll away without brake set. Driving is a concern as I am afraid it might pop into another gear. My year 2012 is not in the recall that effects 2015-2018 models but it's the exact same issue.

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.

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.

First the master cylinder went, then the brake booster and now the hydrolic control unit. Eachpart more expensive thenthe last and the last being 2119.20 to repair. The entire braking system, parts I was told should not break. I have been told, by a reputable mechanic that often when replacing the brake booster, the lines are improperly bled andair gets into the hydraulic system. Upon farther research on line into the issue, there are page after page of the same complaint.

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.

Leaking (ptu) power transfer unit on 2012 ford edge with 49,032 miles on it. There are multiple complaints about this problem and ford will not refund the customer until it is decided that it should become a recall. Even the local dealership recommended that ford be contacted for a reimbursement of the problem. I have a video from the dealership, but no photos.
