2011 Ford Edge Engine cooling Problems

“Over the last month, my vehicle has had stalling issues while idling. All of the times it has occurred while my vehicle is idling at a red light and the vehicle sounds like the engine shuts off then jumps back on. However, one of the times, my vehicle completely stalled and I had to put my vehicle in park, turn it off then turn it back on. During this time the light had turned green and luckily no one was behind me. …”

“While driving on the highway, my Ford EDGE lost acceleration. The engine remained idling but would not accelerate. I had to coast over to the side of the road, turn the engine off and restart. It would run fine for a few miles then repeat. I managed to get it to a Ford dealer who said it was a very common problem with the throttle body and it needed to be replaced but was not covered by my warranty. $610 later and many hours lost from work, I am a very unhappy Ford owner. …”

“The vehicle in question started to die and there was no acceleration. I would restart the car and you couldn't really accelerate and eventually it would die again. No warning whatsoever. The vehicle was towed to the dealership and after three days they finally found that the camshaft broke and ruined the engine. The engine needs to be replaced. The car is only three years old and has 60,517 miles. I am 517 miles over the warranty and I would think in good faith, Ford would honor the warranty, but I was told it's in black and white. …”

“The vehicle just looses power. This happens right in traffic with no warning. There was not a crash this time but it was very close. We had nowhere to get off the road. This is the third time this has happen in the last two days. It appears other people have had this problem and it is the throttle body. You can shut the car off and restart and it is fine again. Dealer says there isn't a code so they can't say what the problem is. Someone is going to get hurt and I understand Ford has recalled other models in the same year for throttle body problems.”

“While driving on the 56 freeway with only less than a one minute warning of a orange color wrench on the left side of the wheel which went on. I lost all power to my 2011 Ford EDGE including brake, accelerator you name it no power what so ever. I was so lucky I was able to make it to the shoulder very scary. I have owned many cars, but never experiences something so scary. This is the second time this has happened the first time was on 10/6/2014. Both times I took it to my local Ford dealership location the first time they had my car for 2 full days and were unable to determine the problem. …”
