Description of the problem | Ford edge with 58,000 miles was being driven by wife. While traveling at 50-55 miles per hour, the vehicle showed a wrench icon and decelerated immediatly to 5mph in the middle of rush hour traffic in the left lane. The loss of power put the car into limp mode where my wife had to try to get to the side of the road. The ignition was turned off, then back on and the car drove fine afterwards. The sudden loss of propulsion is very scary espically right after dropping your 1 year old off at daycare who could have been in the car. We have researched this and found many other vehicles with this defect possibly throttle body. After turning the car off, all codes were erased so the only way to get the car checked for the issue would be to straight from ford "drive until the error happens again". |
