Description of the problem | This problem involves a loss of power in my 2015 ford edge-titanium fwd (3. 5l ti-vct v6 engine). It occurred after only 2 months of ownership and less than 3000 miles. After yielding at an intersection, i accelerated to turn right. Nothing happened. Thinking my foot slipped off the accelerator, i repositioned and pressed again. Nothing happened. My edge was rolling slowly, but i was unable to pull off the highway due to being in a construction zone. There were cones on the sides of the road. I stopped the car in the middle of the road and noticed a message on the screen. However, in my frantic state, i did not remember it exactly. The message was something like, power accessories off. I attempted to restart. It wouldn't start, but i realized it was not in park. Once i placed my edge in park, i was able to restart immediately. Thankfully, traffic was slow, and there was no accident. The service department at the ford dealership where my edge was purchased kept it for 2 days and drove it several times. They were unable to reproduce the problem, and they did not find any diagnostic issues. However, they were concerned and did say to return immediately if the problem occurs again. I love this automobile, and i am a first time ford owner. However, i now fear driving it. After reading several similar complaints on this site and other sites, it appears this has been ongoing for years. Will someone have to die for this to be corrected? |
