2015 Edge Throttle fault

[GBW365]

I was driving the interstate in heavy rain when I lost all throttle and hill assist fault came up on the display along with the wrench symbol and engine warning light.

I managed to limp to the side of the road without hitting anyone or being hit, a little scary in that traffic and at that speed. I checked under the hood could not see any thing loose or wet, it started up ok just the check engine light on.

I put it down to the rain getting in to one of the sensors, then it did it again a mile further on, sat on the side of the road again.

 

I got it started again and contacted the dealer to get it looked at the next day, they replaced the throttle body and motor assembly.

I see this is a common fault in previous years and higher mileage vehicles, but mine has has only done 4,200 miles.

 

Does any one have any further experience with this fault?

You don't say that you have the 3.5, but I expect that you do. Here is a thread that covers your issue.

I see you got the TB replaced. Please post in this thread and describe your symptom and what your dealer did to remedy the problem.
