Description of the problem | I've had my 2015 ford edge for only 4 months and with only 4600 miles on my way home from work sept. 15th going down a two lane road my car lost power without warning i could not accelerate and the wrench and air bag warning lights came on. Thank god i was not on the freeway going 70 miles an hour i was able to coast to safety so i pulled to the side of the road. The vehicle was making a very loud noise. I called ford road side assistance. When he came out he turned the vehicle off and on and the warning lights came off and the vehicle drove normal. I was able to get home. I decided to take it to the nearest ford dealer the next morning however they could not help me till wednesday or thursday of the following week. I decided to go home and call the dealer where i purchased the vehicle and as i was driving up my driveway it happened again this time i decided to record with my phone the warning lights and the noise it was making. I called the dealer and they told me to bring it in to them right away however i was not about to drive it again knowing it was probably going to do it again. (very scary). Called ford road side assistance again and it was towed there. I received a called later in the day saying that the throttle bodyneeded to be replaced. Got my car back that afternoon. However, 2 weeks earlier my vehicle was at the dealer because the engine light came on took it in and the catalyst converter was bad he to be replaced. Of course no part available had to wait. My vehicle was in there for 10 days. (they did provide a rental at no charge) |
