“My check engine light is on, shows code p0299 which refers to an underboost condition with the turbo or supercharger system. My mechanic spoke to a dealership who stated they've put 3 parts in the vehicle they have in the shop and its still not fixed. Sounds like its a common issue. Can you investigate for a recall?”
NHTSA complaint #11021279, filed 2017-09, 117,000 miles“After researching Ford EDGE research there were so many complaints of people having the same thing occur to them. My car will start and be driving then all of a sudden the car literally looses all power and the car shuts down. This has happened to me twice and it appears that Ford doesn't want to issue a recall on this. People's lives are in danger, there is no warning of when this will happen and then you stuck sitting on the road while in drive as your car lost power.”
NHTSA complaint #11076500, filed 2018-03, 78,000 miles“On five occasions recently, moving at normal speed on city streets, suddenly lost power and would only crawl along to curb. I stopped the engine, waited a few moments, and started again. It functioned normally. The dealer said all was normal on three separate occasions. I suspect it is the electronic throttle body, but I can't be sure. My dealer won't replace it in spite of all of the similar reports on the net. I consider it to be too risky to drive.”
NHTSA complaint #10806398, filed 2015-11, 37,000 miles“Vehicle suddenly stops going, no acceleration. Happens without warning, forcing you to get off the road. Must shut off vehicle and restart. Creates a very hazardous situation where you can be traveling on the interstate going 65 MPH & suddenly have no power! Engine is running but there's no acceleration whatsoever. My warranty just ran out & I have less than 36000.0 miles on this car! Only happens when you're traveling which means you have no way of preparing & puts your life in jeopardy.”
NHTSA complaint #11044225, filed 2017-11, 35,270 miles“I was driving in rush hour traffic in the far left lane when my car suddenly and without warning lost all forward momentum. A wrench light came on and it immediately slowed to about 1 MPH. I had to cross four lanes of traffic and was able to come to a stop safely in the right median. I turned my car off and restarted it and the light was no longer on. Reading online this seems to be an ongoing problem with no resolution. Ford needs to issue a recall immediately. …”
