WHILE DRIVING MY BRAND NEW FORD EDGE THE "FULL ACCESSORY POWER ACTIVE" WARNING INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR SHUT DOWN. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR. HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR 4 DAYS AND NO ONE CAN TELL ME WHAT IS WRONG. BOTH TIMES THE CAR HAS SHUT DOWN, I AM ABLE TO DRIFT OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, PUT IT IN PARK AND RESTART IT AND DRIVE AS NORMAL. I AM SCARED TO DRIVE THE CAR FOR FEAR OF IT STALLING MID INTERSECTION OR WHILE I AM PULLING OUT IN TRAFFIC.

THEE TIMES NOW MY EDGE HAS LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING. THE FIRST TIME WAS MAKING A LEFT U-TURN IN A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD. THE SECOND TIME WAS MAKING A RIGHT TURN INTO A DRIVE-THRU DRIVEWAY. THE THIRD TIME WAS IN A GROCERY STORE PARKING LOT WHILE STOPPED, WAITING FOR A CAR TO PASS. ALL THREE TIMES MY CAR LOST ENGINE POWER, WITH NO PRIOR WARNING. A DISPLAY POPPED UP STATING "FULL ACCESSORY POWER ACTIVE". NO OTHER LIGHTS/ALERTS CAME ON, INCLUDING CHECK ENGINE. MY RADIO STILL WORKED. WHILE IN DRIVE I COULD LITERALLY PRESS THE GAS TO THE FLOOR AND NOTHING HAPPENED. I HAD TO RESTART THE ENGINE TO REGAIN POWER. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR WITHOUT PUTTING IT INTO PARK; I ONLY HAD TO PRESS THE BRAKE AND THE START BUTTON. DURING THE INITIAL MECHANIC VISIT WE ROAD TESTED AND I WAS ASKED TO TRY STOPPING AND STARTING THE ENGINE WHILE IN DRIVE; I WAS UNABLE TO DO SO. I NOW HAVE THE CAR AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE SECOND TIME. THE FIRST TIME I WAS TOLD THAT BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, THEY COULDN'T FIX IT. I SHOWED THEM RESEARCH WHERE OTHER CUSTOMERS COMPLAINED OF THIS ISSUE AND IT BEING DUE TO THE THROTTLE BODY. I ASKED FOR THIS TO BE REPLACED, AND AFTER 5 DAYS OF BACK AND FORTH, THEY CHANGED IT OUT. LESS THAN 24 HOURS LATER IT HAPPENED FOR THE THIRD TIME AND I TOOK IT BACK IN. I MENTIONED OTHER REPORTS OF POSSIBLE FUEL PUMP ISSUES BUT THEY SAID THEY WERE UNAWARE OF IT BEING AN ISSUE. THE SAID THEY WOULD TRY TO DUPLICATE IT, BUT OTHERWISE THEY COULDN'T DO MUCH ELSE. I BROUGHT IN A PICTURE OF THE ALERT, AS REQUESTED BY THE FIRST MECHANIC, BUT WAS TOLD IT WASN'T ENOUGH TO HELP THEM. I AM UNABLE TO ATTACH THE WORK ORDER AT THIS TIME, BUT I HAVE A PHYSICAL COPY FOR MY RECORDS.

I GOT OUT OF THE CAR IN A DRIVEWAY, WAS STANDING WITH THE CAR DOOR STILL OPEN WHEN THE CAR STARTED TO ROLL DOWN THE DRIVEWAY. I WAS KNOCKED DOWN AND THEN STUCK UNDER THE CAR DOOR WHILE BEING DRAGGED DOWN THE DRIVEWAY. I SCREAMED FOR HELP AND A NEIGHBOR HEARD, RAN OVER JUST AS I APPROACHED THE STREET AND STOPPED THE CAR. SHE SAID THE CAR SHOWED TO BE IN REVERSE YET IT WAS TURNED OFF AND I DIDN'T HEAR ANY WARNING SIGNALS. IT ALSO DIDN'T START TO ROLL UNTIL I WAS STANDING OUT OF IT ON TWO FEET. IF I FELT IT ROLLING WHILE GETTING OUT, I WOULD HAVE STILL HAD A FOOT IN THE CAR TO HIT THE BREAK. BESIDES BRUISES AND MUSCLE PULLS, I ALSO EXPERIENCED A HOLE IN MY SHOULDER WHICH WENT TO THE BONE WHILE BEING DRAGGED.

THE DRIVER SIDE CARPETING HAS NOTHING TO HOLD UP THE EDGE/TOP OF THE CARPET ABOVE THE DEAD-PEDAL AND OBDII PORT. THE CARPET HAS BEEN SLOWLY FALLING DOWN AND REPLACED ONCE UNDER WARRANTY BY FORD. THIS HAS NOT FIXED THE ISSUE WITH THE TOP FALLING DOWN. THIS CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INTERFERENCE WITH THE DRIVER'S FEET WHILE OPERATING THE PEDALS. ALREADY THERE IS BARELY ENOUGH ROOM FOR MY FOOT TO REST ON THE DEAD PEDAL ALREADY (SIZE 9) WITHOUT HITTING ITEMS ABOVE THE DEAD-PEDAL NOT TO MENTION ADDING THE WORRY AND DANGEROUS FALLING CARPET ON THE THE DRIVER'S FOOT. FORD NEEDS TO REVISIT THIS AND CREATE SOME ATTACHMENTS TO HOLD THE TOP OF THE CARPET UP.

SEAT BELTS
MY VEHICLE CAME EQUIPPED WITH AN OPTIONAL 2ND ROW INFLATABLE SAFETY BELT. HOWEVER, THEY ARE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO CONNECT. MOST PASSENGERS SEATING IN THIS ROW DON'T USE THE SAFELY BELTS SINCE CONNECTING THEM IS SO DIFFICULT. WHEN A CHILD SAFELY SEAT IS INSTALLED (CONVERTIBLE SEAT) IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO CONNECT THE INFLATABLE SAFELY BELT. I HAVE CONTACTED FORD MOTOR COMPANY BUT HAVE RECEIVED NO RESPONSE. I FIRMLY BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFELY HAZARD.

ON JANUARY 4, 2016 THE VEHICLE ENTERED A SAFE MODE IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. WITHOUT NOTICE, WHILE IN MOTION AND IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC, THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN; DEPLOYED THE EMERGENCY BRAKES; AND ATTEMPTED TO DIAL 911. IT NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION. WE PROMPTLY TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP, WHERE THEY SAID THE ISSUE COULD NOT BE REPLICATED. THE REGIONAL REPRESENTATIVE AT FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE STATED THAT IF THE ISSUE COULD NOT BE REPLICATED FORD WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO DO ANYTHING ELSE. THE VEHICLE IS BRAND NEW, WITH AROUND 3000 MILES. WE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THE VEHICLE AND FORD'S UNWILLINGNESS TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE.

POWER TRAIN
THIS REPORT IS AN UPDATE TO COMPLAINT: 10788647. THIS VEHICLE, A 2015 FORD EDGE SEL WITH A 3.5L ENGINE, WAS REPAIRED BY A FORD DEALERSHIP FOR A STALLING/LOSS OF POWER WHILE DRIVING ISSUE. THE DEALERSHIP HAD THE VEHICLE FROM NOVEMBER 5-13, 2015, AND REPROGRAMED THE PCM IN ORDER TO CORRECT THE STALLING CONDITION. INITIALLY, THIS ACTION SEEMED TO RESOLVE THE STALLING ISSUE. HOWEVER, IN RECENT DAYS THE GAS MILEAGE HAS DROPPED ABOUT 3 MPG, AND ON TUESDAY, DECEMBER 22, 2015, AT 7:25PM THE EDGE STALLED WILL DRIVING (NOT ACCELERATING, DECELERATING, OR TURNING) AND THE ENGINE QUIT. THE VEHICLE SIMPLE STALLED AND LOST TOTAL POWER WHILE DRIVING. THERE WERE NO WARNING OR ERROR LIGHTS. THE ONLY MESSAGE WAS "FULL ACCESSORY POWER ACTIVE." I HAD TO PLACE THE VEHICLE IN PARK IN ORDER TO RESTART, WHICH I WAS ABLE TO DO. FORTUNATELY, I WAS NOT ON A BUSY ROADWAY WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE DEALERSHIP ADVISED ME TO BRING THEM THE VEHICLE THE NEXT DAY, DECEMBER, 23, 2015, AND THE VEHICLE HAS REMAINED IN THEIR POSSESSION SINCE THAT TIME. THIS ISSUE IS DANGEROUS. I LIVE IN A MAJOR METROPOLITAN AREA AND TRAVEL INTERSTATES EVERYDAY. IF IT STALLS WHILE I AM ON THE INTERSTATE, THE SITUATION COULD BE DISASTROUS.

ON OCTOBER 27, 2015, MY FORD EDGE SEL 3.5L W/ 4,500 MILES STALLED AFTER I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND ATTEMPTED TO MAKE A RIGHTHAND TURN. AS THE VEHICLE ENTERED THE INTERSECTION, IT STOPPED RESPONDING AND STALLED. NO WARNING OR OTHER SYMPTOMS OCCURRED. NO WARNING OR ERROR CODES DISPLAYED. THE LEFT MESSAGE CENTER DISPLAYED "FULL ACCESSORY POWER ACTIVE." THIS SITUATION IS DANGEROUS AS THERE IS NO WARNING AND THE MANNER IN WHICH IT STALLS/LOSES POWER DOES NOT GIVE THE DRIVER ANY INDICATION THE CAR HAS STALLED. SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT ANY ALARM OR ERROR CODE, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND STOPPED RESPONDING.

MY NEW FORD 2015 EDGE HAS STALLED ON ME AND ON THE DEALERSHIP 6 TIMES IN 3,000 MILES. THIS FORUM ASKS FOR SPECIFICS, SO HERE IS ONE EXAMPLE. I WAS TURNING RIGHT INTO TRAFFIC, I WENT TO ACCELERATE, AND I HAD NO POWER. THE DASH LIT WITH A MESSAGE "ACCESSORY POWER ACTIVE". I HAD TO PULL OVER AND RESTART. I HAVE HAD THIS CAR AT THE DEALERSHIP ON AND OFF FOR OVER 75 DAYS. FORD ISSUED A TSB #15-0123 ON 8/10. MY CAR'S COMPUTER WAS UPDATED ON 8/12. I WAS ASSURED BY FORD AND THE DEALERSHIP THAT THIS PROBLEM WAS "FIXED". BUT IT IS NOT, I HAD ANOTHER OCCURRENCE OF THE STALLING ISSUE AGAIN ON 9/11. THE DEALERSHIP AND I HAVE ASKED FORD FOR A "BUYBACK" AND HAVE BEEN REFUSED TWICE, WITHOUT SPECIFYING A REASON. MY CAR IS NOT FIXED, AND YET FORD DEMANDS I TAKE IT BACK. I HAVE HAD TO PARK MY CAR, AND I CANNOT DRIVE IT. IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD, AND AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. I AM ATTEMPTING TO ARBITRATE WITH FORD ON MY OWN. THEY HAVE HAD MY CAR 20+ DAYS LONGER THAN I HAVE HAD IT IN MY POSSESSION. THIS IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM, AND THERE IS NO TELLING WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN. I CANNOT BELIEVE FORD HAS FORCED ME TO TAKE THE CAR BACK. THREE OF MY STALLING ISSUES HAVE BEEN IN HIGH TRAFFIC AREAS. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED WHAT I'VE PAID FOR. SHAME ON FORD FOR WANTING ME TO RISK MY WELFARE AND THE WELFARE OF MY PASSENGERS IN A CAR THAT HAS A MAJOR DEFECT.

I WAS TURNING RIGHT AT A SPEED OF 10-15 MPH AND WITHOUT WARNING THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN AND ALL POWER WAS LOST. I AVOIDED HITTING ANOTHER VEHICLE BY QUICKLY SHIFTING TO PARK AND RESTARTED THE ENGINE. THE ONLY THING I NOTICED ON SHUT DOWN WAS THE GREEN LIGHT ON THE IGNITION BUTTON WAS FLASHING.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
I WAS STOPPED AT A STOPLIGHT IN CLEAR, WARM WEATHER WHEN THE ENGINE SILENTLY TURNED ITSELF OFF. NOT REALIZING THIS, I ATTEMPTED TO TURN, BUT THE EDGE WAS OFF. AC AND RADIO REMAINED ON. I DID NOT SEE ANY WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD. AFTER A FEW FRANTIC MINUTES, I NOTICED THE SMALL GREEN LIGHT ON THE IGNITION BUTTON WAS FLASHING. I PUT CAR IN PARK AND WAS ABLE TO RESTART ENGINE. WE HAVE ONLY DRIVEN THE CAR A FEW TIMES SINCE AND NO PROBLEM. I FEAR THIS HAPPENING WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC. VEHICLE HAD 765 MILES ON IT- WE HAD IT FOR 3 WEEKS.

ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WE HAD STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AND THEN WE PROCEEDED THROUGH THE LIGHT AND THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTED HARD FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR (AUTO TRANSMISSION) BUT DIDN'T THINK ANYTHING ABOUT IT. WE THEN TURNED INTO A PARKING LOT AT TAMPA INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT AND THE VEHICLE'S ENGINE JUST SHUT DOWN BEFORE WE CAME TO A STOP. WE COASTED INTO A PARKING SPACE AND THE AUTOMOBILE WAS UNRESPONSIVE TO ME TRYING TO SHUT EVERYTHING DOWN FOR APPROXIMATELY 3 TO 5 SECONDS. THERE WAS A NOTIFICATION THAT APPEARED ON THE DASH WHEN THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN BUT I DON'T REMEMBER WHAT IT SAID. IT THEN ALLOWED ME TO DEPRESS THE START/STOP BUTTON THAT ALLOWED THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM TO SHUT DOWN FOR A RE-START. I THEN RESTARTED THE ENGINE AND PICKED UP MY PASSENGER AND DROVE HOME. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN PROBLEM FREE BEFORE THE INCIDENT AND DID NOT CAUSE ANY PROBLEMS ON OUR RETURN DRIVE HOME. WE WERE VERY LUCKY TO HAVE BEEN IN A PARKING LOT AND NOT ON A BUSY HIGHWAY PULLING IN FRONT OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC.

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?

I WAS DRIVING IN TRAFFIC, A CONSTRUCTION ZONE. I MERGED INTO THE FINAL LANE AND PUSHED THE GAS TO ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE JUST STARTED SLOWING DOWN. THE ENGINE HAD DIED COMPLETELY. NO WARNING LIGHTS OF ANY KIND BEFOREHAND. IT JUST STOPPED RUNNING. THE GREEN LIGHT ON THE IGNITION WAS FLASHING, AND AN ERROR CAME ON THE SCREEN SAYING THAT THE ACCESSORIES WERE POWERED. FORTUNATELY, SINCE I WAS IN CONSTRUCTION, I WASN'T MOVING VERY FAST. I WAS ABLE TO CRUISE A FEW YARDS, PUT IT INTO PARK AND SIT. I WAS STILL IN THE ONE LANE OF TRAFFIC, THOUGH. I TRIED STARTING THE VEHICLE AGAIN SEVERAL TIMES...NOTHING. FINALLY I LET IT SIT FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES, THEN WAS ABLE TO START IT AGAIN. I DROVE TO THE NEAREST PARKING LOT, CALLED ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND HAD IT TOWED TO MY DEALERSHIP. THANK GOD I WASN'T ON THE FREEWAY, OR MOVING FASTER ON THE SURFACE STREET. THE DEALERSHIP HAS IT NOW, BUT AFTER READING HOW MANY OTHERS HAVE THE SAME COMPLAINT, I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR. I'VE HAD THIS VEHICLE TWO MONTHS.
