“I was driving 55 MPH and car power dropped to coasting and I had to pull off the road. The oil indicator came on. I called triple a and then tried to reset the oil light to reset and the car started again with power. Cancelled triple a. Car was not reset after oil change. I could have been rear ended!! Really scared me.”

“I started my car and turned on to a busy street. My car then slowed to an almost immediate stop. I received an error message stating hill assist unavailable (I wasn't on a hill at all), then a wrench light appeared along with an engine light and airbag light turned on as well. I was unable to accelerate when pushing the petal. Meanwhile there is traffic behind me forced to move around my vehicle almost causing serious accidents.”

“The 2015 Ford EDGE started to not blow hot air, and eventually the check engine light turned on. Took it to the dealer and they tell me it needed a new engine, but it was covered. The dealer explained that there is a bulletin tcb is # 19-2346. However, today I found out by the sales person that it not covered and I have to pay for it. This about $7500. I'm reading several post that this is a know issue. I don't know why there isn't a recall or more press on this issue.”

“Reverse aid camera randomly turns on while the car is in motion. When this happens the transmission appears to lurch as if the traction control system is adjusting the spin of the front tires. We have had this into the dealership multiple times and they have even replaced the camera and the issue still happens. We are concerned that the transmission may fail to operate normally under load when attempting to accelerate.”

NHTSA complaint #10958811, filed 2017-03, 8,000 miles

“I was driving on a busy highway at about 45 MPH and I couldn't accelerate. Luckily I was able to coast off to the side burn. My car only has 6700 miles on it. They towed it to the dealership and the dealership told me that they can't get it into to look at until august 1st. The apparently won't even give you a loaner car in the meantime. Very frustrating. This could have been a very dangerous situation.”
