As I was driving to work, my vehicle stalled on the highway. Without any check engine light or sounds the gas pedal didn't have anything to it, it just went all the way down and then died. The engine would turn, but it's as if gas wasn't getting to the engine and it wouldn't start. I tried a couple times to start it, no success. Still no warning lights. As the tow company was on the way, about 20 minutes later, I tried again and it started. As if nothing was wrong. No vehicles were behind me to hit me when it died and I was able to steer to the shoulder. I went to ford service later on and I was told that since none of the warning lights came on there more than likely is not a code to diagnose the problem, but it sounds like the fuel pump. I now drive the vehicle hoping it doesn't happen again. There is a recall on 2013 ford edge fuel system, but mine is not one to be recalled.

When the problem started about 1 1/2 months ago, I would be driving and the car would simply begin slowing down until it was stopped, no matter how much gas I tried to give it. After this happening 2 times and the check engine light coming on, I took it to the dealership and they said the fuel pump was faulty and changed it. I got the car back approx. 2 weeks ago. Last friday, 10/6/17, I was on my way home from work and the same thing again, expect this time, the autotrain error (a wrench) came on, as well as the check engine light. It stopped 3 times on the way home - each time I pulled over (as well as I could), turned the car off and recranked it. Each time I would turn the car off and recrank it, the warning lights would go off and then come back on as soon as the car lost power again. I finally got it home. My husband decided to put a new battery in (since I'm also having problems the door open alert - another story). After putting the battery in, he drove it around for 30 minutes or so with no problems. It worked fine all weekend. The following wedn., 10/11/17, I was on my way to work and was in the middle of an intersection when it suddenly lost power again - engine still running, but nothing happening when I pressed the gas and the autotrain & check engine light came on. I almost got hit by another car. I finally was able to pull over, turn it off and let it sit for a minute and then came on to work with no more problems. It's terrifying not knowing when it's going to suddenly lose power. I searched the internet & discovered there are many people reporting this same problem & have been told its a problem with the throttle body. I'm taking it back to ford this evening. If more than a few people have reported this, this issue needs to be fixed by ford. Someone is going to get hurt.

In view of all the cars being recalled for failure of what would appear to be relatively simple devices, it occurs to me that I should report this incident, in case there have been other reports of the same problem. While driving in light traffic on a four-lane divided city street in atlanta, ga, on 3/17/13, a sunday afternoon, without warning of any kind, the engine suddenly stopped. Of course, I had no power or power steering, but fortunately I was able to get the car over to the shoulder safely (fortunately there was a shoulder). The ford emergency road service sent a tow truck, which towed the car to the nearest ford dealer. The next day the dealer's service dept. Found that the fuel sender had become detached from the fuel pump. Of course, without fuel, the engine stopped. They re-attached the sender, and I have had no further problem. Everything was handled promptly and properly by ford. There was no charge, of course, as the vehicle was still under warranty. However, had this failure occurred just five minutes earlier, I was in the inside lane of a busy interstate highway (I-285) going 70 MPH. I can't imagine how I would have been able to navigate the car to safety across four lanes of traffic with no power - or else stop in the inside lane I was in and pray I didn't get hit before the tow truck came. A simple solution to a potentially deadly problem. I doubt that any routine testing or maintenance would have revealed this potential detachment. It would appear that there is a potential flaw in the way these vitally important parts are attached. It seems to me that this potential bears investigation by the fhtsa.
