Faulty Water Pump causing thousands of dollars to repair. There is a recall on same models and year my vehicle should also be on it. Stalled on hiway. Had to pay more money for tow. Repairs are more than car is worth. You have to take the top part of engine off to replace it.

My car is in need of a new water pump. This is a known repair needed in Ford V6 3.5 & 3.7-liter engines 2012-19 Explorer, Taurus, Edge & more. The water pump is placed in the engine so that a simple 1 hr. repair takes 10-12 hrs of labor costing customers thousands of dollars. There is no reason for this to not be on the recall list!!!!! This is confirmed by Ford dealers. There is no warning that comes up until the part has already failed, also causing other parts of the engine to be repaired.

Driving down the hwy, lost all acceleration. Engine still alive, had power, radio, air etc Had to coast to the side of the road. Restarted car after a few minutes and problem resolved. Took to dealer but they could not find a code. Suggested replacing throttle body as possible solution based on how often they see this.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE DECELERATED IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC AND HAD TO BE PUSHED OFF THE ROAD. THE AIR BAG AND CHECK ENGINE INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO PEACOCK FORD (1875 S ORLANDO AVE, MAITLAND, FL 32751, (407) 644-7111) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT A NEW FUEL INJECTOR WAS NEEDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT SPECIFY IF THEY COULD ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

WHILE DRIVING AT APPROX 35-40 MPH, CAR SUDDENLY LOST POWER, THE YELLOW WRENCH LIGHT LIT UP AND I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE NOR MAINTAIN SPEED. I BARELY MANAGED TO GET TO SIDE OF ROAD DUE TO HEAVY TRAFFIC; THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING VERY ROUGH AND WOULDN'T SMOOTH OUT. I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF, WAITED A MINUTE BEFORE RESTARTING, THE WRENCH LIGHT WENT OFF AND ENGINE RAN NORMALLY FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS. HOWEVER, WITHIN THE WEEK, THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN.

FORD EDGE WITH 58,000 MILES WAS BEING DRIVEN BY WIFE. WHILE TRAVELING AT 50-55 MILES PER HOUR, THE VEHICLE SHOWED A WRENCH ICON AND DECELERATED IMMEDIATLY TO 5MPH IN THE MIDDLE OF RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC IN THE LEFT LANE. THE LOSS OF POWER PUT THE CAR INTO LIMP MODE WHERE MY WIFE HAD TO TRY TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE IGNITION WAS TURNED OFF, THEN BACK ON AND THE CAR DROVE FINE AFTERWARDS. THE SUDDEN LOSS OF PROPULSION IS VERY SCARY ESPICALLY RIGHT AFTER DROPPING YOUR 1 YEAR OLD OFF AT DAYCARE WHO COULD HAVE BEEN IN THE CAR. WE HAVE RESEARCHED THIS AND FOUND MANY OTHER VEHICLES WITH THIS DEFECT POSSIBLY THROTTLE BODY. AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF, ALL CODES WERE ERASED SO THE ONLY WAY TO GET THE CAR CHECKED FOR THE ISSUE WOULD BE TO STRAIGHT FROM FORD "DRIVE UNTIL THE ERROR HAPPENS AGAIN".

EVERY TIME I ACCELERATE HARD TO REACH HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE EXHAUST LEAKS INTO THE CABIN CAUSING BREATHING PROBLEMS AND DROWSINESS. THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE AND THE FORD DEALERSHIP DOES NOT SEEM TO WANT TO COVER THE COSTS OF THIS SAFETY ISSUE.

IT WILL NOT RUN OVER 5 MILES PER HOUR, IT CRANKS UPS AND IDLES. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS AND THE GUY AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP SAID IT MAY BE THE THROTTLE BODY.

WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, ACCELERATOR SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING, WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON, AND ENGINE WENT INTO LIMP HOME MODE. IT WAS VERY UNSAFE TRYING TO CROSS LANES TO GET OFF OF HIGHWAY AS CAR SLOWED VERY RAPIDLY. THIS IS THE SAME ACTION ASSOCIATED WITH THE WELL DOCUMENTED THROTTLE BODY PROBLEM FORD HAS HAD WITH OTHER MODELS. ONCE OFF THE ROAD, MOTOR WAS SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED WHICH MADE THE PROBLEM GO AWAY BUT UNFORTUNATELY ERASED ANY ERROR CODES THAT MAY HAVE BEEN GENERATED.

WHILE DRIVING, THE SPEED WAS AROUND 50MPS THE VEHICLE MADE A NOTICE ON THE DASH THAT SAID "LOW OIL PRESSURE" . IT THEN AT THE SAME MOMENT SLOWED DOWN FROM 50 TO 0 WITHIN ABOUT 50 FEET AND COMPLETELY LOST POWER STEERING ALMOST CAUSING A FATAL CRASH WITH A CHILD IN THE CAR. THE VEHICLE IS BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED AT AND HAS BEEN EVALUATED FOR MALFUNCTIONS. ALTHOUGH THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE HAS NOT SAID ANYTHING ABOUT WHAT HAPPEN OR WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS AND I FEEL EXTREMELY UNCOMFORTABLE EVEN GOING SOMEWHERE WITH MY FAMILY KNOWING THIS HAS HAPPEN ONCE.
