granto2014 Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 I recently started having an issue where there is no acceleration after reaching about 125-128 km/hr in my 2011 Edge Limited. The best way to describe it is a feeling that the vehicle is governed. Its not very often I drive at this speed but when traffic is moving... traffic is moving. When I took it to the dealership they said I need a new battery which has still not registered as to how this can be. Took it to another mechanic and he says battery is very good. Any thoughts on what this could be? I don't want to buy a battery and find out there is still the same problem and be stuck with an extra battery.

ls973800 Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 I would first check the air filter to make sure there are no restrictions. Dirty, clogged, bird or mouse nest, etc. Years ago when I was selling Chevrolets, a customer took a test drive with one of our brand new half ton pick-ups. The truck was sitting on the lot for maybe 3 weeks. We could not accelerate over 50 MPH! Got back to the dealership and had a mechanic look at it. A bird had built a nest in the intake snorkel and it blocked air flow into the engine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 Agree on the blocked air filter. Could also be a throttle body problem but check the air filter first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ujune0000 Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 I bought a 2011 Ford Edge with 260000 miles on it a few months ago 3 days after driving it we took it back to the service department and they told us that but it needed to learn are driving patterns so to drive a little longer we drove it for 8 days still doing it or you take off at a red light or a rolling stop and it won't go and then all the sudden it will we were at an intersection and went to take off in between two cars it decided to do it again and we almost got hit by a semi truck took it back to the shop they could not find anything wrong with it after having it for days so we drove it again a week later we took it back to the service department they kept it for a week said they changed two sensors and it should be fine we drove it another week still stalling at intersections when you take off still stalling when you go to pass in front of a car is very dangerous took it back to the service department they have had it a week and a half now still saying that nothing is wrong with it that they can't find anything now they've asked us to come up there and drive it for them because they can't find anything wrong with it we'll see how this goes today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 Good grief - could you throw in a few periods please? That's very hard to read. Does it really have 260K miles or was that a typo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 (edited) Could be something wrong with the brake booster/vacuum lines/cruise control if you get "sudden acceleration" for no reason. I don't think it's the TB (typically LOSE power, not accelerate), but it could be, they have been known to go bad on the 2011+ MYs.

Tsizz Posted April 4, 2015 Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 Ujune0000 is it accelerating or stalling? Forgive me but I'm new to the forum but I wanted to read up on my Edge, it just started having issues with it. It has started stalling at a stop. It'll start right back up again but seems like it struggles staying running at an idle in gear. The check engine light came on, checked the codes, it was throwing a Bank2 sensor1 code. Changed the plugs and changed the sensor.....light came back on and it continues to stall. Not every time I stop but often..... Any input is appreciated!!

ujune0000 Posted April 4, 2015 Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 When we give it gas at a rolling stop it wont go then it will all the sudden pick up and go. Our check engin light never came on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
