2nd time in month this vehicle lost all power in the middle of the road in perfect road conditions. June 17th 2017 and july 16th 2017 my vehicle lost all power and warning light came on with a picture of a wrench. This is a major safety hazard that will get someone killed and has been well documented. Must fix asap
2013 Ford Edge engine complaints
Page 5 of 7: complaints 101 to 130 of 179, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The brakes have failed on me 3 times now, the dealership claims the brake booster was bad and replaced it the first time, the second time claims it was a bad piston inside the break booster. The brakes failed once when a car pulled out in front of me and I had to slam on the brakes, the second time was driving normally and the third today after the front tires lost traction in wet grass. This makes it to were you have to push the peddle all the way to the floor and hope the car comes to a stop.the check engine light comes on every time you accelerate to hard (like entering an interstate) then will go away after a few days. The code that pops up for it is turbo/super charger under boost. This makes the car really sluggish and hard to get up to speed.
The engine will not start when the temperature outside is high (105+ degrees). During the heat of the day, engine will not start (no clicking, no sounds, nothing). Radio comes on, air comes on, I am able to change gears, roll down windows, etc. There are no issues in the morning or evening when the day is cooler. The check engine light does come on only when I am having the issue. Once car eventually starts, the check engine light goes off.
While on the freeway, my had complete engine failure and I had less then 20 seconds to pull over to the shoulder however everything locked up and I almost caused an accident. I let the car sit for 30 seconds and restarted the car. I took it to get looked at by 2 different service centers and they didnt find a problem. I drove it again, and it happened 3 times on the freeway from san diego to orange county. I had my car towed, did my own research and learned this is an ongoing problem with ford edges for my specific year. The manufacturer is not covering it. I am selling this car because I am fearful for my life and my baby girl that was in the car with me.
Sudden loss of power, no special environmental conditions, engine RPM dropped without warning to 400 RPM, car speed limited to 1 MPH. Had to quickly pull off 45 MPH, 4-land hwy. Thru heavy traffic to reach side street (no shoulder available). Engine continued to run - but no response to throttle pedal. Condition known as "limp mode". Turned engine off, waited few minutes, started back up normally. Dealer unable to pull error code. However, research and complaints filed on-line show this is recurring problem with ford electronic throttle body failure. This is definately a safety issue. Many other ford models have had recall for defective etb's - but not my VIN. Sudden loss of power is indicated by "yellow wrench" indicator - but sudden complete loss of power is severe safety issue on roads without shoulder, or worse, heavy multi-lane traffic or narrow bridges. Ford accepted complaint - but refused extended warranty coverage - dealer charges for replacement etb installation were not subsidized by ford. If ford etb's have been recalled on other models, all etb's should be recalled. Severe, scary, reliability & safety issue.
2nd and 3rd cylinders in my 2.0 ecoboost engine are misfiring. Car has 63000 miles. Car shakes when idling and does not accelerate properly. Car drives at 6000 RPM when going 60mph on the highway. Car shakes and jerks when driving. Changed engine coils and spark plugs and that did nothing.
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 ford edge. While attempting to accelerate from a complete stop, the vehicle's speed reduced and would only accelerate to 4 MPH. A wrench warning indicator illuminated on the instrument panel. The contact pulled the vehicle over to the side of the road and turned off the engine. When the vehicle was restarted, it returned to normal. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer (pines ford lincoln located at 8655 pines blvd, pembroke pines, fl 33024; (954) 443-7000) where it was diagnosed that the electric throttle body needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted at 866‑436‑7332 and stated that the VIN was not included in a recall. Case number: cas12510115 was provided. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 88,000.
Engine suddenly stalls while driving. Yellow wrench light comes on and there is no power when applying accelerator. Has happened while on highway (approx 70 MPH) and surface streets (approx 30 MPH). Pull over to the side of the road and turn off the engine. The restart was sputtery but came on and no more wrench light, the vehicle ran as if nothing happened. After taking it to a dealership was told problem could not be duplicated and no fix could be made.
The door sensors in this vehicle do not sense that the door is closed when it is. This leads to being unable to lock the doors while driving, it also causes the interior lights to remain on when the car is off even after the door is closed and the car is locked which drains the battery. Occasionally, the door will sense that it is closed after slamming it. This has LED to an arm injury that I sustained when attempting to do this repeatedly from the inside of the vehicle. This is an ongoing issue and not a one-time occurrence.
While driving on the highway (doing 70 MPH) my vehicle randomly stalled out. I was forced to coast to a stop, pull over, and turn my car off and turn it back on to begin driving again. It later happened an hour later at a stop light while making a left hand turn and then again at the next light on the road. After looking up possible problems, it was found that countless others with the same vehicle have the same stalling problem while driving. This creates a serious and dangerous risk for drivers on the road. I have an appointment to have the ford dealership look at my vehicle, however from others who have spoken on their experiences with the same problem, the dealership states that they cannot "recreate the problem". Thus sending the customer on their way stating that there is nothing wrong with the vehicle. Just 1 of the many forums where others voice the same problem. Http://www.carproblemzoo.com/ford/edge/car-stall-problems.php this vehicle must be recalled before a serious accident or death occurs due to ford's negligence.
Engine control module-PCM. After 3 years of replacing/repairing items on my car, they now say that the PCM is the cause. I have replaced multiple sensors, catalytic converter, drive shaft, turbo, cooling system, and the list goes on. Had the PCM been diagnosed the first time my check engine light came on and replaced the sensor, I could of saved a lot of time. Every time I would go in, the diagnostic test would show 02 sensor which was replaced numerous times, then they would say catalytic converter, so on so on going down the list. I would get stranded on the highway because the car would completely shut down. Not one person in the past 3 years said the PCM was to blame. After a week of trying to diagnosis my car after once again being stranded on the highway, they are saying the PCM. The mechanic states that the computer module is on back order with ford. The ford rep states that they are selling them faster than they can be made. If this part is on back order (2 weeks) and can't keep them in stock, there seems to be an issue with the PCM for fords. Everything that I have read states it is very hard to diagnosis a PCM but there needs to be a code that appears when it is faulty because this could of been covered under warranty 3 years ago but instead, I have paid a lot of out of pocket to get to this point of replacing the PCM. Pcm in high demand with ford indicates a red flag for this part and issue. Please review.
Twice now within two days, my wife or I have been driving along at 20-30 MPH through the neighborhood and the vehicle has lost propulsion. I say this because the motor stays running, but doesn't accept input from the gas petal. Service wrench comes on, but vehicle diagnostics come back ok. Turn vehicle off, cranks up and drives fine. The interwebs says its a throttle body issue.
Engine surged while parking, felt like it would hit car parked in front. Reminded me of my lincoln town car 2007 that would suddenly accelerate
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 ford edge. While driving approximately 25 MPH and making a right turn, the vehicle stalled without warning. The driver was able to coast into a parking lot and turned off the engine. The driver was able to restart the vehicle and resume driving. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 60,000.
Control panel states doors ajar and lights won't turn off or doors won't lock. Dome light stays on and creates dangerous conditions at night when trying to back out or while driving. Lights will also come back on when stopped at stop light and won't go back off until a certain rate of speed has been met due to the system thinking the door is ajar when it's not. Doors will also not lock when car is off and dome light stays on draining battery till the battery is dead sitting in parked position. It is also climate sensitive and is worse on cold or humid days. Both the driver and the drivers passenger door is affected and creates extremely dangers driving conditions. This has been going on for at least 6 months and continues to get worse.
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 ford edge. Whenever the heater or air conditioner were being used, the vehicle would emit strong fuel odors and caused the occupants to feel light headed, have headaches, and stomach issues. The dealer refused to diagnose the vehicle because the engine warning indicator was not illuminated. The failure recurred. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 59,000.
2013 ford edge fuel system, gasoline. A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source may result in a fire. Leaving the residence. Once passed the control of the security agent of the residence. I accelerate the vehicle normally and then hear a rather deafening noise. I stop the vehicle immediately and process to exit the vehicle quickly as I feel the body warm. Once I get out of the vehicle and run to a safe place about 40 feet away, I throw myself on the ground and look at the vehicle and see that the vehicle is burning. I can see that the fire is consuming the vehicle and can observe fire inside the vehicle coming out of the windows and fire through the bottom of the vehicle that goes from the front of the engine down the side. And the fire runs to the gas tank.
When you are stopped and 'shift to park' and push the button to turn off the vehicle, it dings keeps telling me to 'shift to park'. You need to continue turning off and on and moving the gear shifter between park and drive to finally get it to turn off. I see online that this has been an ongoing problem with some awd vehicle from ford.
Engine became totally disabled at 50 MPH on a rural county highway.struggled to steer vehicle to shoulder of road because of lost power.fortunately we were on a straight section of road.I can only think that in so many other driving situations this problem could have put us in a life threatening position.ford really needs to find the problem and fix it!
Car will stall and go into limp mode, yellow wrench appears on left hand display. This has happened twice within the last 3 months, once in the middle lane of a rush hour freeway travelling at 40mph. I was lucky to get across to the shoulder before I lost all momentum. No response when pushing the accelerator, engine shakes badly. Have to restart the car in order to continue travel. All research points to faulty electronic throttle body. Ford service center advisers agree but refuse to perform repair under warranty as there are no codes. The codes get wiped after restarting the engine.
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 ford edge. While operating the vehicle at slow speeds, the engine suddenly shut off. Also, while depressing the brake pedal, the vehicle would not immediately stop. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the brake booster and throttle system were faulty. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 58,000.
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 ford edge. While driving various speeds and attempting to accelerate quickly, the vehicle stalled. The service engine soon warning indicator illuminated.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 ford edge. While driving 25 MPH, the brake pedal was depressed, but failed to respond. The brake pedal was difficult to apply and made a lot of noise. When the vehicle stopped ,the engine turned off and the "engine lost power" warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 58,520.
While driving on a city street, the vehicle went into a limp-type mode. The engine was still running but I could not accelerate. The problem was a faulty electronic throttle body which I have come to find out is a very widespread problem in ford vehicles and that ford is aware of this problem but has refused to issue a recall. This is a very dangerous issue and ford is putting its customers at risk for accidents.
There is a sudden loss of power while driving, the engine idles roughly, and the accelerator stops working - this is all while in the process of driving the car. There were complaints filed back in 2013 and a lawsuit related to other ford vehicles regarding this issue (defective electronic throttle control). This model and year, however, is not part of the group ford agreed to fix and there was never a formal recall. This puts drivers in a dangerous situation...losing power while driving.
I have a 2013 ford edge and have been told the turbo charger failed, and no part is available for 3 months. The car has been serviced many times prior to 60,000 miles but now suddenly I am being told the part just failed. My complaint is a major engine part failing at under 60,000 miles and no part available for 3 months.
Was driving approx. 45 MPH coming thru a 5 corners major intersection at peak traffic time of 5:15pm. Driving on state farm to market road in town of 100k residents. Had been driving approx. 3 miles. Temp in 80's, roads dry. Complete loss of power, nearly rear ended. Car crept a little, moved to middle turn lane, strong forward lurch/jerk, yellow wrench light on. Put car in park, turned it off. Tried to start, nothing. Sat about a minute, tried, started. Limped to parking lot. Turned vehicle off, sat for about 20 minutes. Then took route home going thru subdivisions where stall would not jeapordize life. Could not drive to dealer as that would involve highway, and risk of fatal accident. I was very fortunate today, have never been that scared driving a vehicle in 40 yrs of driving.
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 ford edge. While driving 45 MPH, the vehicle stalled without warning. It was diagnosed that the vehicle needed a new throttle body. The vehicle was taken to be repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was 52,400.
Vehicle was driving straight at approximately 50 MPH. Yellow wrench icon came on, and engine power was lost. Coasted out of traffic and into parking lot. Turned car off and back on, and vehicle ran normally with no error lights. Turned car off and back on and drove approximately 15 miles with no recurrence. Due to the safety concerns of having the engine stall again at highway speeds or with children in the car, took car to dealership. Dealership stated no error codes were stored, and recommends replacing throttle body for $700+ based on their history with similar situations.
While traveling at highway speeds vehicle suddenly loss power to transmission and engine and ended up going 1 MPH. Could not accelerate and barely missed being struck by other vehicles. "wrench" warning indicator came on and I pulled my auto over to side of roadway. Turned the ignition off, waited 1 minute and restarted and the auto was normal again. Day later pulling out into traffic same episode again just barley avoiding a collision again. Dealership advises faulty electric throttle body defective. This is a major safety issue and needs to be resolved immediately before this results in a fatality. I had two separate incidents that could have resulted in a fatality. When the vehicle goes limp you are powerless to do anything if your lucky to get to the side of the road without getting hit from the rear or t-boned.
