2010 Ford Edge Cruise Control Problems

FROM IDLE AT A FULL STOP: UNCONTROLLABLE FULL THROTTLE OCCURRED CAUSING ME TO RUN OVER A CONCRETE CURB BARRIER. I COULD NOT STOP CAR BY APPLYING FULL BRAKE PRESSURE FOR AT LEAST 50 FEET.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 111,000.

AS WE WERE DRIVING ON A RESIDENTIAL SIDE STREET, GOING ABOUT 25MPH, COMING UP A SLIGHT INCLINE, THE CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING. WE WERE ABLE TO GET IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. WE TURNED IT OFF AND ON AND NOTHING HAPPENED. ABOUT 10-15 MINUTES LATER THE ENGINE STARTED BUT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. WE WERE ONLY ABLE TO GO ABOUT 2MPH. WE WERE ABLE TO GET IT TO A MECHANICAL SHOP NEARBY. THE NEXT MORNING WHEN THEY PULLED THE VEHICLE IN, THEY EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE. WHEN THE TURNED IT OFF AND BACK ON TO DO MORE TESTS THE CAR WAS WORKING "FINE." THE SHOP INSPECTED IT AND DID NOTE THE POTENTIAL THROTTLE BODY ISSUE BUT AS THE VEHICLE WAS NOW RUNNING IT COULD NOT BE PROPERTY DIAGNOSED. WE HAVE TAKEN IT TO A FORD DEALER AND THE SAME INFORMATION WAS GIVEN TO US. WE HAVE CONFIRMED THROUGH FRIENDS WHO HAVE A 2011 FORD THAT THEY RECEIVED A CUSTOMER SATISFACTION LETTER FROM FORD NOTING THE ISSUE WITH THE THROTTLE BODY AND LOSING ACCELERATION. WHEN FORD CUSTOMER CARE WAS CONTACTED THEY NOTE THE PROBLEM BUT "NOT" WITH OUR YEAR VEHICLE. THE SERVICE PERSONNEL AT FORD HAVE CONFIRMED THIS WILL LIKELY HAPPEN AGAIN AND NOTE IT IS A PROBLEM ON OTHER FORD VEHICLES AS WELL AND WE WERE ADVISED TO "DRIVE" IT INTO FORD THE NEXT TIME IT HAPPENS. THIS IS CLEARLY A PROBLEM ACROSS MANY YEARS OF FORD VEHICLES, YET THEY DO NOT WANT TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT OR PUT OUT A RECALL ON AN ISSUE THAT IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET WITH SIMILAR EXPERIENCES.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN A MAIN HIGHWAY WITH CRUISE CONTROL SET AT 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STARTED SURGING AND THE RPMS WERE FLUCTUATING THEN THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED RAPIDLY UNTIL SPEED REACHED ABOUT 72 MPH. I HAD TO TURN CRUISE CONTROL OFF FOR THE SPEED TO DROP BACK DOWN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED RAPIDLY ON ITS OWN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,000. ....UPDATED 07/05/16 *BF THE CONSUMER EXPERIENCED SUDDEN ACCELERATION SEVERAL TIMES. UPDATED 07/21/16.*JB

ON 05/01/2013 I ENTERED INTO A PARKING LOT IN A SHOPPING MALL, WITH MY RIGHT FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL WHILE BRAKING TO STOP AT A 15 OR 20 MILES PER HOUR, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY AND UNINTENTIONALLY ACCELERATED, THE RPMS JUMPED ABOUT 2000 MORE (1500 TO 3500 APROX.) AND I LEFT THE TIRES PRINTS OVER THE PAVEMENT BECAUSE I PUT THE BRAKE FULLY PRESSED WHILE THE ENGINE WAS ACCELERATING WITHOUT TOUCHING THE GAS PEDAL. FORTUNATELY THERE WAS NO CRASH NOR INJURIES TO PASSENGERS OR PEDESTRIANS, BUT I HAVE NOTICED THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED TO SEVERAL PERSONS AROUND THE COUNTRY, SO I ASK IF THIS GOVERNMENT AGENCY WOULD ISSUE A RECALL BECAUSE IT IS A SAFETY AND A HIGH RISK SITUATION. THANK YOU. *TR

ON TWO OCCASIONS - ONE IN AN EMPTY PARKING LOT AND ANOTHER AT A STOP LIGHT IN HEAVY TRAFFIC - WHILE BRAKING TO STOP, THE VEHICLE UNINTENTIONALLY ACCELERATED AND WANTED TO LURCH. HAD BRAKE FULLY PRESSED AND THE RPM'S JUMPED FROM 1500 TO 3500. ONLY WAY, ON SECOND OCCASION, TO STOP COMPLETELY WAS TO IMMEDIATELY PUT VEHICLE INTO PARK. RPM'S THEN RETURNED TO 1500. THESE INSTANCES HAPPENED TO ME AS THE DRIVER AND I HAD OTHERS IN THE VEHICLE WITH ME AS WITNESSES. I WON'T LET MY 16 YEAR OLD SON DRIVE THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THIS. *JS
