dougm0 Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 Todd, This just started happening on our 2008 Ford Edge. It is a VERY scary experience when this happens. The car suddenly stalled without warning with a flashing wrench light. Pull over to the side of the road and restart the car and all is fine. I am very concerned because my wife normally drives the car with our 2 toddlers. I couldnt imagine what would happen if the car did this in a turn and my family was injured or worse. Someone needs to get to the bottom of this quick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 There are rumors floating around that there is now a TSB for the throttle body issue. 14-xxxx. Have to get a copy to look at, but hopefully that can be pulled up by your servicing dealer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JulesMK Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 My 2 day old brand new Edge stalled today. I was backing up out of a parking spot onto a busy road. I am not at all happy about this. This is the first time I've ever had a car stall, and we are supposed to leave on a long car trip in a couple of days. No lights cam on.

WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 Wow, sorry to hear that! What engine/trim level do you have, Jules? Don't know if the throttle body issue affects any engine other than the 3.5L. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulesMK Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 Yep, I just checked my vehicle description. I own a 2014 Edge SEL with a 3.5l TI-VCT V6 engine. Out of curiosity, has this ever happened to anyone while backing up or going from reverse to drive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Black-Ice Adams Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 Same thing happened to us. We were also have a problem with our brakes. Ford replaced the Brake Booster and it fixed both issues. Shocking. Apparently the Brake Booster uses are from the engine compartment to help make braking easier. Well the Brake Booster was malfunctioning and cause fluctuation in the air flow of the engine and thereby causing the car to stall. It was looking like an airflow or throttle body issue, when it wasn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuardianEdge Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 I recently cleaned my TB on my 2008 with 86XXX miles, it was pretty gross. I wasn't having any stall problems, but I wanted to do preventative maintenance to preclude any malfunctions. I could see how the butterfly valve could eventually stick on the grim if left to accumulate. I did the same thing on my 2004 Mazda 6. It's easy to do, just pull the battery, disconnect the intake and remove the connector plug and 4 bolts. Avoid manipulating the throttle valve too much and don't use abrasive material to clean, otherwise you will remove the special coating. If that doesn't work, just buy a new TB off the internet and install it yourself, good luck. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macbwt Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 Never cleaned mine. Most likely has a mouse nest, with rampant cockroaches swirling around inside. Too afraid to touch it as the saying goes if it ain't broke don't fix it. I recently cleaned my TB on my 2008 with 86XXX miles, it was pretty gross.

fordedge15 Posted July 31, 2016 Report Share Posted July 31, 2016 I have a 2015 Edge Titanium purchased Jan 2016 that now has 10,500 miles. It stalled out on me for first time 4 days ago. Then again 2 times next day. Then 2 times driving to dealer. The first and 3rd time I was in heavy traffic on major hwy with construction giving no safe place to coast over. It is only by the grace of God I was not rear ended in 60-70 MPH traffic. The dealer said would check it out and let me know what the issue is in a couple of days. I am scared to drive this vehicle again as it is unpredictable from my experience and from what I now read from others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted August 1, 2016 Report Share Posted August 1, 2016 Does your Edge have a 3.5L engine? A new throttle body should take care of the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amine Chaar Posted August 6, 2016 Report Share Posted August 6, 2016 My 2015 Ford EDGE 13000 miles stalled while I was in the intersection.

Lena Solla Posted August 28, 2016 Report Share Posted August 28, 2016 I just bought a new 2016 Ford Edge Titanium. I drove it only 5 miles after purchase and it broke down. It only had 49 miles when it broke down. I took it back to Ford and asked for a new one and they would not exchange it. They did not do the proper inspection and have horrible customer service. They said it was the fuel relay switch. Does anyone have this problem? I am trying to go through the buyback process because the car still shakes randomly but of course they are not "diagnosing the problem" while it is in service. I bought the car a week ago and I only had it 2 days. Ford corporate also did not do anything about it claiming the contract is between the dealership and me. Any advice?

akirby Posted August 28, 2016 Report Share Posted August 28, 2016 Calm down and do t post the same thing multiple times. As noted in the other thread see if your state has a return period. Of not you just have to let them fix it. Chances are it's something simple and once fixed you won't have other problems. It does not mean it's a lemon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that feeling as I have been there before. My Land Rover actually broke down the same day I bought it. Something else to keep in mind based on her location in SoCal is that there are likely many other dealers that she can try if this dealer ends up being a dud.

enigma-2 Posted August 29, 2016 Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 Lena, I'm guessing that they replaced the relay switch and that problem is fixed. Random vibration is often a tire out of balance. Simple to pull each tire and check the balance. Does this occur at specific speeds or on specific types of roads? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cwebb227 Posted November 18, 2020 Report Share Posted November 18, 2020 Sorry if there isn't to much detail on this post just trying to look for some insight on an issue that I had happen tonight: I was sitting in a drive though to get food this evening and had just ordered my food and was waiting to head to the pick up window ( adding this for an estimated time frame for mindset) While sitting there with my foot on the break the car stalls out and turns off and the oil pressure low message shows up on my dash, and the car would not turn back on at all. I was able to get it shifted into neutral and push it off to the side. Oil levels were good and had it changed estimated 4ish months ago with full synthetic. this has happened onw other time about a month ago. The only way we got it to restart was to add a little bit more oil into it and it started and ran just fine. ( YES I KONW, YOU ARE NEVER TO OVER FILL) The car acts totally fine no jerking or anything before it stalls it literally just turns off and doesn't restart. I will be more then happy to answer any other questions that you may have regarding this issue, jsut wanted to reach out here before taking it to a dealer or what not. I just bought the vehicle back in Dec, the previous owner took amazing care of it and did all the maintenance when it was due and, I haven't really had any issues with it since buying it.

1004ron Posted November 18, 2020 Report Share Posted November 18, 2020 The oil level has no impact on starting the engine, so the fact that it started after adding oil is coincidental. Best take it to a place like Autozone and have them read the stored error codes and post them here. The oil light coming on when the engine stalls is to be expected as the oil pumps stops when the engine stops, so not a pointer to why it stalled. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
todd92 Posted November 18, 2020 Report Share Posted November 18, 2020 Yes, the stalling and not restarting have nothing to do with oil pressure or oil level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted November 18, 2020 Report Share Posted November 18, 2020 What year? Mileage? If maintenance done at Ford specified intervals, well ... 2 times it has stalled. adding oil resolved both times? I would check for codes, not all codes show up as a check engine light. Normally I would point to throttle body, as that is a common reason for stalling, but really it could be anything. Throttle body codes are erased upon successful restart, so it would behoove you to get a cheap OBD adapter + Forscan Lite software to read codes before attempting a restart.

Cwebb227 Posted November 18, 2020 Report Share Posted November 18, 2020 Its a 2011 about 113000, yes all maintenance has been handled at the dealer except for this past oil change i had done. Adding oil resolved both times. I will have my other half take it to work with him tonight and check for stored codes, and see what pops up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted November 18, 2020 Report Share Posted November 18, 2020 given the MY and the symptom, there is a high probability the throttle body is at fault, assuming oil level/filter/weight are all good. cheap to toss one in there. idle control functions are integrated into the drive by wire electronic throttle body. could also need a good cleaning of the MAF sensor (near airbox) and throttle body. if the sensor has lost low range sensitivity, it will influence the idle, but I think the PCM would raise rpms to compensate, or maybe not. the maf sensor is RAREly at fault tho. clean it with MAF Sensor Cleaner or Electronics cleaner. CRC brand s what i use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
