2015 Ford Edge: engine stalls while driving

Filed Oct 29, 2024 · Electrical, Fuel system · CT

In june of 2022, the vehicle was exhibiting symptoms of hard to start especially after refueling, stalling, and poor drivability and the check engine light was illuminated.This vehicle was taken to local ford dealer (dowling ford- cheshire, ct) and diagnosed as a faulty fuel vapor separator (aka purge valve/solenoid) Ford part # f2gz-9d289-a. The dealer performed diagnosis/repair/replacement of this part at a total cost of approximately $600. The problem appeared to have been fixed, but now on 10/15/2024 the same issue re-appeared, and once again the dealer has determined same part has failed and now will cost $729 for diag/repair/replacement. This repair is just outside of the 2 year parts and labor warranty provided by ford and/or dealer. According to my online research this is a well known and common problem with these vehicles as well as many other similar ford vehicles which a recall HAS been issued for, and driver/occupant safety is gravely affected because this issue can cause stalling, poor throttle response, inability to start, and general poor driveability which seriously affects safety and cause a crash or cause driver to be unable to avoid a crash or other danger. Ford motor co and ford dealer refuses to accept responsibility for this issue and will not offer any assistance for repair. As of 10/29/24 the vehicle has not been repaired yet, and vehicle and parts are available for inspection.

The engine runs rough condition, Check Engine Light will illuminate and white exhaust smoke coming out from the tail pipe. It exibits a high consumption of coolant. Possible cause is due to coolant intrusion into the cylinder which triggers a misfire. Driving it into the free is very dangerous if you car will stall in the middle and could cause an accident.

While driving down interstate in light rain, but trucks throwing water onto windshield, the drivers side wiper skipped and stalled. It was extremely hard to see and very dangerous. After about 5-7 seconds, it moved and wiped windshield again. This has happened at least 4 different times. Dealer has reprogrammed, but that did not fix the issue. This is a serious safety issue.

To the dealership we bought from which is 2 hours drive south of else delrare ford.we drove there and showed the sales manager and service manager the car in the failed condition as we didnt shut car off and pulled into the service station after again sending text of videos on our drive down of the failing.they kept the car for over 5 days and again said they couldnt get it to fail when they restarted later.we were furious.we have again had to continue to drive this car paying almost $400.00 a month and no one will fix...or give us another car.its a lease.we phoned customer care again they gave us a case number and said contact palm bay ford and quote the case number if they didnt not fix the car or give a replacement until it was fixed we could end the lease early.

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.
