SUDDEN ENGINE FAILURE AT 65,000 MILES WHEN DRIVING AT ABOUT 45 MILES PER HOUR. THE FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN SERVICED SAID THERE WAS A LOSS OF ANTIFREEZE AND THE ENGINE OVERHEATED AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I WAS STRANDED ON THE AIRPORT ROAD WITH NO FEEDER AND HAD TO CALL 911. THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHTS TO GO ON OR ANY WARNING. WHEN READING OTHER POST ON INTERNET THE CAR BEHAVED JUST AS THOSE WHO HAD CONFIRMED THAT THERE WAS A WATER PUMP FAILURE. THIS WAS THE FORD DURATEC ENGINE WHERE THE WATER PUMP IS DRIVEN WITH THE TIMING CHAIN AND IF IT FAILS THE WATER ENTERS THE OIL SYSTEM AND DESTROYS THE ENGINE.

OUR 2010 FORD EDGE IN THE PAST FEW YEARS HAS STALLED AFTER MAKING A SLOW TURN ON 4 SEPARATE OCCASIONS. DURING THE FIRST 3 OCCURANCES THE WE COULD THE CAR IMMEDIATELY. THE LAST OCCURANCE WAS LAST FRIDAY AFTER COMING OUT OF A SLOW TURN THE CAR LOST ALL FUNCTIONALITY AND I WAS ABLE TO ROLL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHERE IT WOULD NOT START AGAIN AND IT HAD TO BE TOWED. WHEN IT GOT TO THE AUTO SHOP IT STARTED AGAIN AND THE MECHANIC COULD NOT RECREATE THE PROBLEM OR FIND A PROBLEM WITH THEIR COMPUTER DIAGNOSTICS. NEEDLESS TO SAY THE UNEXPLAINED ENGINE FAILURE WAS NOT FIXED. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE ANYMORE BECAUSE OF THE POTENTIAL OF A SERIOUS ACCIDENT RESULTING IN INJURY OR DEATH.

TODAY, MY WIFE BROUGHT HER 2010 FORD EDGE IN FOR THE 3RD TIME IN A MATTER OF 3 WEEKS, TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP. THE PROBLEM IS WHILE SHE IS DRIVING, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON AND THE ENGINE WILL STALL LEAVING HER STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC, AFTER A MINUTE SHE CAN RESTART IT BUT IT HAPPENS SHORTLY AFTER THAT. THEY HAD REPLACED A SENSOR ON THE LAST VISIT BUT YET AGAIN TODAY THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON AND IT STALLED SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE SHE COULD GET IT HOME. THIS PLACES MY WIFE AND OTHERS IN TRAFFIC WITH HER IN DANGER AS WHEN THE CAR STALLS THERE IS NO WAY TO WARN OTHER DRIVERS AND COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I DO NOT BELIEVE THE DEALERSHIP HAS ANY CLUE AS TO WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH ONLINE USING GOOGLE AND HAVE FOUND THERE ARE MANY OTHERS OUT THERE WHO SEEM TO HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND NO ONE SEEMS TO HAVE A DEFINITE REASON AS TO WHY. *TR
