I've had my 2015 ford edge for only 4 months and with only 4600 miles on my way home from work sept. 15th going down a two lane road my car lost power without warning I could not accelerate and the wrench and air bag warning lights came on. Thank god I was not on the freeway going 70 miles an hour I was able to coast to safety so I pulled to the side of the road. The vehicle was making a very loud noise. I called ford road side assistance. When he came out he turned the vehicle off and on and the warning lights came off and the vehicle drove normal. I was able to get home. I decided to take it to the nearest ford dealer the next morning however they could not help me till wednesday or thursday of the following week. I decided to go home and call the dealer where I purchased the vehicle and as I was driving up my driveway it happened again this time I decided to record with my phone the warning lights and the noise it was making. I called the dealer and they told me to bring it in to them right away however I was not about to drive it again knowing it was probably going to do it again. (very scary). Called ford road side assistance again and it was towed there. I received a called later in the day saying that the throttle bodyneeded to be replaced. Got my car back that afternoon. However, 2 weeks earlier my vehicle was at the dealer because the engine light came on took it in and the catalyst converter was bad he to be replaced. Of course no part available had to wait. My vehicle was in there for 10 days. (they did provide a rental at no charge)
2015 Ford Edge engine complaints

I purchased a new 2015 ford edge titanium fwd in june 2015. It stalled twice in the 1st month I owned it at a stop light and then a stop sign. Then it didn't stall again until sep 2016 after exiting I-79 and coming to a stop to turn. On all occasions the engine start button was flashing green and the dash was fully lit up with a notice that full accessory power was available. On all times the engine restarted ok. The dealer could not find any computer fault codes and even put on a flight recorder(black box) but in 2 weeks it didn't stall so I could not set any data by pushing the joy stick. Rather than do nothing I asked if the could perform tsb 15-0123 PCM recalibration with the latest software just to be sure that wasn't a problem that I noticed on other websites and ford has a record of it. It just now a wait and see if there's any further stalling. There is also a mention that a throttle body could be the problem but ford doesn't want to do anything until a computer says there is a problem and with what! This could be dangerous. The service dept. Filed an engineering hotline case#307336. Don't know what became of that.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 ford edge. While driving approximately 65 MPH in two lane traffic, the vehicle randomly stalled without warning. The contact was able to coast the vehicle over to the side of the road. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was determined that this was a known issue by the manufacturer and that the throttle body needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and provided no solution. The approximate failure mileage was 4,500.
At 6200 miles on a clear warm day of about 95 degrees, at about 40mph on a flat city road, the car lost all power of acceleration, and I had to pull over and come to a complete stop. The engine light and a wrench light appeared on the dash display, and hill start assist unavailable message appeared. I put car into park and shut off engine, waited about 2 minutes, and restarted engine. The engine idled roughly and the accelerator pedal produced no results when pushed. Shut engine off again and waited about 5 minutes and restarted. Accelerator pedal worked normally, and drove off. Wrench light went out and engine light went out after about 20 miles. No accidents were caused as there was enough time to react and travel was on a local street while going straight.
4/2016-car engine lost power on highway @ highway speeds down to 15 MPH. Wrench icon shows on dashboard. Made way to shoulder, shut off car and 2x attempt restart. Drove to dealership. Replaced throttle body assy. 8-25-2016-issue happened for a 2nd time as above @ highway speeds. This car has the replacement throttle body assy. On freeway again and similar dashboard icons. Car had to be towed to dealership. Service says they replaced throttle body assy w/"updated model" per ford recommendation.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 ford edge. The contact stated that after pulling off from a stop at approximately 10 MPH, the vehicle stalled as the hill start not available error message displayed and the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was restarted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 9,500.
Car died while driving, because I was in traffic at 30 MPH, going downhill on 20% grade, I threw the car in neutral and was able to restart the car. This action , according to dealer, cleared the computer and no incident was found. After 8 days of supposed diagnosis they tried to get me to pay a deposit of 500.00 to put a data recorder in my vehicle and said I would have to trigger it first before it would record future incidents, would this be before I try to save my life from the tractor trailer behind me moving at 70+MPH
I was starting to drive on the busy street at about 30 MPH when of the sudden the vehicle slowed down to maybe 5 MPH within 2 seconds, mind you my foot was pressing the gas pedal at the time the car lost speed, light comes on, something to do with hill assistance, then the wrench light come on, luckily this happened just before the intersection and I decided to go to the left turn lane. I was able to pull to the side of the road at a 2-3 MPH speed, turned the car off and back on with no problem, drove it home. This morning (7:00am) I drove my car to the ford dealership in town, explain the issue to the adviser, she said sounds like the throttle body. They worked on my car, got the phone call around 3;00pm that my car was ready I picked up, this is what the invoice says: 4722 defective etb. Light off, obtain p2111, perform a datalogger road test and make a recording. Review recording. At time of power loss etc actual ande desired way out of spec, t/p readings are erratic and full of spikes, install a new etb, clear code and road test, engine runs good, full power, light off and no codes return. Will see how this works....
While driving vehicle, it shudders and the engine shuts off. The car lights stay on in the interior and exterior - but the information screen goes black and then the back up camera turns on. Car will not accelerate -- stays like this for a few moments then goes back to normal but then happens again -- usually 3 times within 3 minutes. This is the second time my vehicle will be going into the service dept. The first time I was driving on a major highway going 75mph, speed dropped to 60mph within a matter of seconds - would not accelerate and rear view camera was on. Second time, at a stop light and the car shuddered and turned off when driving through the green light the engine shut off again. Then, as the vehicle was being pulled off the road and out of traffic the engine shut off again. Vehicle was towed to service dept. Ford says there is nothing that can be found.
While traveling a freeway at 70 MPH, the engine cut out. I was in the outside lane, luckily. I was able to drift over into the parking lane. I waited for a few minutes - started back up and resumed carefully to my destination. The next day it happened twice and in various conditions: from a stop, and then when I was accelerating to get onto a freeway. When I drove to my home 200 miles away. I was careful and stayed in the outside lane of the interstate. Just before home, out of the blue, the engine cut off. I was able to drift to the side of the road and stop and restart and get home. Today I called for an appointment at the dealer and was informed it would be three days before I could get in. I am very disappointed with this situation. My car only has 8,000 miles on it.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 ford edge. The contact stated that the vehicle experienced a loss of power. The check manual and engine warning indicators illuminated.

The failure mileage was 10,000.
On 26 july 2016, I encountered a sudden and inexplicable problem with my vehicle that involved the loss of the ability to accelerate. . . While I was in traffic on a busy road. The gear shift was still in the 'drive' position when the incident occurred requiring me to drift into a driveway/parking lot, narrowly averting an accident. I was in the process of attempting to pass another vehicle. Needless to say when this incident happened I found myself, and my grandchildren, in a very dangerous situation. As the moment the vehicle is unsafe to operate. On 27 july the same issue reoccurred three more times (all on local streets), once while I was in an intersection, while I was on my way to the cowles ford dealership to have the vehicle serviced. The service manager, took my vehicle in (he graciously provided a loaner vehicle) and one of the service representatives, hypothesized that the problem might be related to the throttle. I'm not sure if the issue was mechanical or related to the computer system. The service manager indicated that it may take about a week to service the vehicle due to the volume of service requests, so I will not know if the vehicle is drivable until after the first week of august.

See attached pdf file for complaint. While traveling at near highway speed (45 MPH) on a late saturday afternoon, july 16, 2016, my 2015 ford edge with only 9,000 miles, suddenly lost power and I could not accelerate. Fortunately I was on a decline of a bridge, so I was able to coast to the next corner and get off of the main thoroughfare. I was at risk of a vehicle crash, however, fortunately there were no cars following me at the time. The 'wrench' warning indicator came on, and after searching the owner's manual, I called ford roadside service to have car towed to dealership where it was purchased new only 7 months earlier. There were no warning signs prior to this failure! On monday (july 18), the dealer called to advise the 'electronic throttle body' would arrive tuesday and I could expect my car back tuesday afternoon. Tuesday morning (july 19) I was called and advised the part is on back-order and not expected to be received until july 29. You can imagine my displeasure at hearing this, knowing I'll be without my car for two weeks, assuming the part arrives on schedule
As I was driving, the car engine stopped. I would then have to put the car in park and restart the engine while in traffic.
Vehicle stalled in heavy traffic on the freeway and had to coast to the side of the road. Very dangerous situation. Amber check engine light came on and a warning light showing a yellow wrench came on. Vehicle ran in limp home mode only. Took vehicle to the dealership and the throttle body was replaced. On line reports indicate the throttle body has been a problem at ford for the last several years and it apparently is still not fixed on the 2015 ford edge....updated 08/15/16
Driving down major highway. Car engine lurched and then suddenly lost all acceleration power. Had to coast to a stop by side of highway. Engine continued running very roughly. No acceleration or ability to drive. Dealership deemed it a electronic throttle body failure.
My car is ford edge 2015 with only 6000 miles on it. I was entering the ramp on a freeway and when attempted to accelerate the car just shut off by itself. I blocked the whole road because could not move. No check engine light was on just a message displayed on the dash "full accessory power active" and the green light on the starter button was flashing. Had to put the car in park and wait 2-3 min until I could successfully restart it. The next day my car did the same thing on a busy street intersection. I had to wait again a little bit to restart it and drove to the dealership. They took the car to check for one day, no rental was provided. I was told that they get many different ford vehicles with this issue. Next day I received a phone call that they ran a computer scan and throttle body was defective. Throttle body air intake was replaced. Very scary and dangerous situation that can happen anytime, anywhere without any kind of warning. I believe it needs attention...
While on highway car went from 45 MPH to under 5mph without warning. Lost all functions steering acceleration and braking. Wrench appeared on dashboard see manual. Luckily a car was not behind could have been a serious accident. Went to ford said could not find an issue
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 a ford edge. While driving approximately 65 MPH, the vehicle decelerated to 5 MPH as the rpms reduced to zero. The vehicle was driven with caution to the contact's residence. The engine warning indicator illuminated continuously. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the electronic throttle control would need to be replaced. The remedy part was on a massive back order. The vehicle would be repaired when the part became available. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 13,000....updated 09/12/16 *bf
I purchased a 2015 ford edge titanium on april 23, 2015. Around february 2016, I began noticing and hearing the vehicle make a loud noise (raring up of the engine} when in the park position or when driving. The noise appears louder when in the park position. I took the vehicle to the ford dealership where I purchased it to have it inspected and was informed it was normal for the vehicle to do that. The noise became worse so I took the vehicle back again. On march 3, 2016, I was then informed it was the cooling fan. The cooling fan was supposedly replaced. However, today the vehicle is doing the same thing. To hopefully get a solution to this problem I filed a complaint with ford motor company. I was referred to the person over my district and have followed their recommendations but still to no avail. After every service visit I"m being told they can't find anything wrong and that the noise is normal. I requested for a ford technician to come out and inspect the vehicle on june 8, 2016. As of today, june 25, 2016, I am still waiting to have my vehicle inspected by a ford technician. I have videos of the vehicle making the same noise before the cooling fan was replaced and after it was replaced. I have also shared both videos with ford and the dealership's service supervisor. I am afraid each time I drive the vehicle because I don't know if it will blow up or not because the noise is just that loud. I just want the vehicle repaired.
I was pulling out of a parking lot and the car did not accelerate, a message displayed on the dash "full accessory power available" . I had to put the car in park and restart it. It restarted fine and I pulled out of the lot and drove home. When I got home I got my manual and tried to look up the message on my dash, because I didn't have a clue what it meant. I could not find anything in the manual. So I looked on the internet and discovered a lot of people have had this problem numerous times and some in busy intersections and traffic, which scares me to death! I was lucky it was in a parking lot. Now I am scared to drive my car until it's fixed.
Car was stopped in a parking lot. No power when attempted to accelerate. Screen showed "full accessory power active" and the green light on the starter button was flashing. Car was put in park and successfully started. Was able to drive more than 100 miles later without any issues. Took car to dealer where they ran a computer scan and did not find any issues. I've noted a number of on line postings describing similar issues.
Issue 1: when ambient air temperatures are above 85 degrees the engine shutters,accelerates very slowly and the engine light flashes. This happens consistently on short and long trips without any warning. Issue 2: ventilated/cooled seats do not work when ambient air temperatures are above 75 degrees.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 ford edge. The contact stated that the vehicle went into limp mode several times, which prevented the vehicle from being driven over 5 MPH. The dealer diagnosed that the throttle body failed. The dealer also stated that there were more than 8,000 parts on back order and were unable to determine when the manufacturer would supply the part for the repair. The contact waited for weeks for a response from the manufacturer to determine a solution. The approximate failure mileage was 9,300.
My car shut down while driving. I was driving in a parking lot and it just suddenly shut down. I couldn't accelerate. An error displayed that said something like full power active accessory. I was able to restart the car.
Pulled up to a red light and waited until the light turned green. Then I attempted to accelerate and the the engine shut off; however, it is possible that the engine shut off while the car was stopped prior to accelerating. A warning came up on the vehicle display, but I cannot remember the exact warning. I shifted into park and started the car back up, and all errors cleared. I drove an additional two miles home, and did not experience the same issue (even though I repeated the same procedure at two stop signs, fully stopping and gradually accelerating).
Throttle body. Ford edge titanium new car - have for roughly 6 months - 10,000 mileage driving on highway doing 65 - 70 miles an hour. Car makes a beep noise and a large wrench appears in the left screen on the dashboard. No ability to use gas pedal which is now locked up - cannot press down. Car is slowing down. Only options to go to side of road and turn off. Car can be restarted. Take to dealership asap (happens again on the way - this time only driving approximately 30 miles an hour). Dealership says it is the throttle body and they have ordered part to repair. Been without a car for a week. Still awaiting for dealership to repair.
I purchased a brand new 2015 ford edge on 12/29/15. On january 19, 2016, the ABS break system went out and it took 2 wks to fix.this happened when I was 4 hours from my home and had to leave it at a dealership then drive 4 hours back to get it. Ford could have cared less. Yesterday(5/24/2016),I was driving down the highway at the speed limit (70mph) when suddenly my vehicle's gas pedal stopped working. I immediately felt the car de accelerate and tried to press the gas pedal to keep up with traffic. However, stomping on the gas pedal did nothing to increase the speed. There were cars slamming on their brakes and swerving to go around me. I was in the left lane of a 3 lane highway and many cars and 18 wheelers began swerving to pass me on the right. It was extremely difficult to coast to the shoulder. The power steering seemed to be limited as well.there were 2 near misses with other cars and it could have been a very bad crash. I turned the vehicle off and back on and made it to my destination. But, this happened a second time on my way home in the dark. I took it in the next morning and used all back roads but even at a lower speed, the same thing happened twice. Ford now tells me that they are having problems with the "throttle bodies" on the 2015 edge and the part is backordered. Therefore it could be 2-3 weeks before my car is repaired. I purchased this car in december of 2016 brand new off the lot, less than 6 months & less than 7k miles later I experienced an extremely dangerous equipment failure with no warning. Ford customer svc does not seem the least bit concerned that their customers are not only inconvenienced by this issue, but could be killed! What is wrong with them? Does someone have to die to get their attention. I am still expected to pay ford moter credit on the car. However, I am unable to drive it.once again, does someone have to die?
I bought my new 2015 ford edge in june of 2015, not even 2 months after owning it, the engine died on me while in stop and go traffic. The lights on the dash were on and it gave me an error message but I don't remember what it was. I was able to turn the car off and turn it back on and it was fine. Then it did it again maybe a week later. Took to the deal twice, they contacted ford and they told the dealership they it had to be reprogrammed, which fixed it but now 9 months later I'm dealing with it again. This time I took a photo of the error message, it said "full accessory power active." I've taken it back to the dealership but I've done a lot of research and this problem has been happening for years on all kinds of ford vehicles.
