NHTSA complaint #11123952, filed 2018-09, 149,000 miles“I was stoped at stop sign my 2008 Ford EDGE with no signs of problems. When I started to pull out there was low power and the wrench signal went on. Car would not go faster then 5mph. I was very concerned for cars in back of were impatient and passing. I researched this problem on the inertnet and it seems to be happening with alot of these make and model cars.”

Vehicle will decelerate if I don't pull over immediately causing me to come to a stop. Speedometer doesn't work while this is happening. Cant accelerate once stopped. Has to turn vehicle off to reset the computer and the wrench light will go off for a period of time until it decides to happen again. Very dangerous situation if on the highway and can't get out of the way of other cars to cut the vehicle off. Happens a few times a month.”

I pulled out of my neighborhood and as soon as I gave it any good amount of gas it starting driving really rough and shaking and the A/C went out you could hear the misfire on the cylinders and the transmission was revving high before it would shift gears. No check engine lights or anything at this point. I turned back around and took my car back home turned it off and then turned it back on and that's when the check engine light came on. …”
