2013 ford edge limited 45k miles tampa fl - car will randomly go into limp mode without warning at any time, all lights on dash come on along with the wrench. This has happened on three different occasions, two on a busy 4 lane city street above 40 MPH and the last was while merging onto the interstate above 50 MPH. This is a very dangerous defect that will eventually result in an accident. Once in limp mode I will have to pull over, stop and restart the car at which point the car drives normal. Dealer can't replicate the fault, so they can't do anything. I have an extended warranty through 75k miles but can't use that either as the ford dealer can't replicate the problem. Through research I found the same symptoms on other fords where the throttle body was an issue including my year edge. Ford did a recall on a bunch but my year and model were not included. Clearly ford needs to expand their recall as this is extremely unsafe.

Issue occurred twice in my car within a month. 1st one, I was driving on highway with my family in speed of around 60 mile/hours due to traffic, all off sudden a message pooped up on my screen to park the car. As I was driving inner lane so could not park on shoulder side but parked inner side which was very dangerous. Car lost power and did not start but heater was on with high heat and fan. All lights were off could not switch on emergency lights. I towed my car to local shop in that town to find the issue but they could not find anything. They could manage to shut off the heater and next day it worked but they asked me to take to ford dealer shop. I took the car to ford dealer shop in my town but they also did not find any issue and assure that issue will not happen again and safe to drive. Which was strange to me that without knowing the actual reason how they can be so sure that this car is safe to drive again. 2nd incident was in local street when my wife was reversing the car from the driveway then staring suddenly locked and car got shut off. As car was middle of the road with baby so few people came to help and push the car back into the driveway. My wife tried to start again and car got started. We took the car to ford dealer shop again and again they did not find any issue. Ford gave us car back and make sure that this car is safe to drive.

Ford door latch issue- the driver door will not latch when door is shut this causes the lights to come on in the vehicle and warnings to appear on the dash (door ajar, shift to park, etc). I have issues with my car locking because the doors appear to be open. This is an ongoing issue. The dealership cleaned the latch for me and this temporarily solved the problem, however a few months later and its happening again. This is unsafe when I am driving as I do not know if the door is securely shut. It also is a distraction when all of the lights are on and there are warnings flashing on the dashboard.

Suddenly the vehicle no longer registered one of the doors as being closed. It always had the door ajar warning on the screen and the dome lights stayed on and doors wouldn't lock while driving as if a door was open. This made it difficult to drive at night because all the lights would be on in the car. Also, my 4 year old was able to reach and open the door while the car was in motion so I had to take the car into the dealership to have it fixed immediately before one of my children was hurt. The car only has approximately 40,000 miles on it and is well cared for but out of warranty so the repair cost us 474$ and I was out of a vehicle for two days.

This is a 2013 ford edge limited w/v6 engine. While driving, there is a sudden loss of engine power, the engine goes to a rough idle, all the warning lights come on and there is no throttle response. After shutting everything down, the engine will finally restart after several attempts and run normally. This has happened multiple times, the last time while driving on the interstate. The vehicle has been into the dealership 6 times for repair. So far, the throttle body was replaced, a sensor was replaced, the accelerator pedal was replaced and some wiring was replaced. The last time the problem occurred, the vehicle was returned to me after the dealer was unable to duplicate the problem. I subsequently returned the vehicle to the dealership because as far as I am concerned, it is totally unsafe to drive. I then contacted the ford customer relationship center and was assigned a case number. The ford regional service manager assigned to the case finally told me that because the dealer was unable to duplicate the problem there was nothing further they could do and I should come and pick up the vehicle.

The first incident happened: I was pulling out into traffic, when the car pretty well just shut down. It did not go into limp mode. I was stopped right in the middle of oncoming traffic. The engine was shaking violently with no power at all. I was unable to move. Thankfully there were no oncoming vehicles at this time. I had to shut the car off and restart it, and it went like nothing ever happened. Unfortunately all the warning lights and the such went off on restart. I took the vehicle to the ford house here. They said they could not replicate the issue and the computer did not have any error codes. So there was nothing they could do. At this time it did it highly intermittently and far between each time. So it went on like that for about the last year. It got to the point though you couldnt drive anywhere with out it happening. I wouldn't even let my wife drive the car, due to this issue or my kids to ride in it. Recently it started doing it alot more often. So, finally I could take it to the ford house and they could replicate it. Took it over to the shop this morning, drove 15 miles and the car shut down 7 times in traffic. Finally after a year and a half of being unable to replicate the issue, it did it while they were driving it. The throttle body was the culprit. I knew it, they knew it, all along and refused to fix it. Now they had to fix it. Figured it would be covered under their extended warranty on throttle body failures. Nope, I had to shell out $600 for a part that ford and the federal safety agency knew was a bad part.

Purchased 2013 ford edge sport on july 14th. I've had possession of the car for three weeks as of this complaint. The car required service every single week since I've had the car. The last incident was on august 8th. I started the car, and multiple warning lights appeared on the dashboard. As the lights appeared, the car violently shuddered, and the brake pedal was stiff and difficult to press down. The steering column also shuddered, and the wheel was difficult to maneuver. This occurred at a supermarket parking lot less than three blocks away from my home. I called my husband, who remained on the phone line via speakerphone as I slowly coasted the car home. I drove the car, coasting the way back home with the hazard lights on, so as not to have to use the brake pedal. The car was towed to the dealership, where they replaced major sections of the steering column. The service manager informed us of this repair, saying that he's never seen such a major manufacturer defect in a brand new car. They made the repair, but I am very concerned that this may not be a unique situation. I am also concerned that because this make of car is so new, that other problems may be occurring that haven't been logged yet...
