I have a 2008 Ford Edge Limited with 106,000 miles on it. Last Friday I was driving home from work. It all of a sudden started to hesitate. No bang no nothing. I felt a power lose. But was still able to drive to pickup my daughter a exit down the highway. The car started after I picked her up and was fine for about a mile then died in the middle of the road.
The car turns over but does not start. There is no fluids leaking or anything. But when you turn over car you can smell gas. I had it towed to a ford dealer. They charged me $100.00 and checked the camshaft sensor. They said sensor was working properly. Then they told me I need to pay another $300.00 to have the engine opened up. They had a cylinder reading low compression. I still have not got a call back. But I am sure they are busy.
My gut is telling me I am going to get a call that the motor is junk. But if that was the case I would think the fluid would have leaked out and the engine would have seized.
Has anyone else had this problem? I not about to drop a $5-$6k on a engine then a month later go back for a new tranny then go back for sensors.
I have read a couple of threads like this and Ford has had to send Mechanics reps out to figure out the problem.
Would there be a way I could contact a Corp Rep from Ford to double check diagnosis?
I think it's got to be some sort of sensor in this SUV.
