Does anyone have any ideas why, at times my Edge(just shy of 70K miles) will not take the gas? It happens around 50 or 55, not before or after. Just driving along accelerating to speed limit and suddenly the engine acts like it is starving for gas...almost like it wants to quit on me. The car will actually buck a little.
The local, trustworthy mechanic suggested using gas w/o ethanol, available only at our local Stewart Shops. This helps tremendously, but still will do a bit of "bucking". Putting the least expensive gas in the car gets the worst reaction.
Last year a new gas tank/filter were replaced due to a recall and it hasn't helped at all. The car has been "bucking" since the fall of '14.
Other than that, we love the car! Just replaced the 8 year old battery last month, still has original brakes, though we squeak when backing out the garage each day.
Ideas will be appreciated.
