Description of the problem | The incident has happened four times, so far, twice within two minutes. Driving down a straight, flat road and the car completely shuts down. Accelerator does not work, air bag sensors deactivate, complete loss of control. Cars behind had to swerve into a ditch to avoid hitting my car because the car completely shuts off with no notice, going 50 mph. Now happens every time i drive vehicle for longer than 20-25 minutes. Hill start assist not available message appears and car shuts down without warning traveling at high speeds. Service engine light appears and service engine notification. Airbag sensor off light illuminates. I've found this has been a known problem since 2002 and there have been no recalls. They are still manufacturing malfunctioning etb in vehicles and someone is going to die. Thankfully, i was not on the expressway. I have this issue documented on video, as it happens every time i drive my 2016 ford edge. Https://www. Law360. Com/articles/893102/ford-hit-with-throttle-deceleration-defect-class-action http://www.
