  1. Anybody have any news on this? I got the limp mode two times in about two weeks about a year ago. Dealer could not pull codes so they said they can't do anything. I talked to a regional guy, and if it happened again he would loan me a "flight recorder" but it has not happened again. Today I took it in for an oil change and tire rotation (53k miles, 2011) and the service guy said an induction cleaning is recommended. I said no and later looked in my manual and there is no reference to induction cleaning as regular maintenance at any mileage. Additionally on the nhtsa.gov website there are a LOT of complaints about this problem of limp mode/wrench symbol. I have 6,100k ESP)
  2. 11 Edge Advance Trak problem happened to me, there is a TSB, dealer fixed it with software change. Wrench and power loss seems like what has happened to me twice and has happened to other people: throttle boddy. Dealer won't do anything until they can find an error code, adn error codes clear when you turn off the car, but restarting is the only way to get it to run again. Report it at nhtsa.gov, click on file a complaint. A lot of people have reported it there and it is on other posts here. I have an ESP, but dealer can't get approval to change throttle body under ESP and I am not paying for a new one. 45,000 miles
  3. Dealer told me that they thought it was a throttle body but could not change it unless they got approval from Ford (Edge under ESP, about 40,000 miles when it first happened) and without proof, they would just be randomly changing stuff out. I escalated to a regional, and they offered to get me a "flight recorder" put in my car if it happened again, but it hasn't in several months.
  4. Happened twice on my 11 Edge but dealer won't do anything until they can duplicate it and once you restart it removes error codes. Seems to be throttle body. Report it to nhtsa.gov. There are a fair number of reported incidents there. Maybe Ford will see the bad PR GM is getting with a dozen people killed and issue a recall or at least a TSB
  5. If it is the Advance Track and not the yellow wrench, there is a TSB for that. I have an 11 Edge and had the same problem. I also think I have the throttle body problem, but dealer cannot recreate, so I am waiting for a TSB or recall.
  6. 2011 Edge, ever since I updated to the latest version of MFT, ambient lighting will stay whatever color I choose for a few days/week, then all of a sudden it is off and at the default color. I set it back to the color I want and it defaults again. Also, my radio/satellite presets are back to being blank ( 3 or 4 of the 6 per screen) at random times, which just started in the last few weeks, although I have had latest version for a while. I had this problem A LOT on earlier versions but it had seemed to have been resolved on version before current. It's always something.
  7. 2011 SEL with leather seats and only 2 settings: can't feel and HOT
  8. ccuyaia1, if it is still under warranty, there is action you can take. Keep all of your documentation.
  9. Missouri- Maybe 3 or 4 3-6" snowfalls and maybe 1 big snowfall. I do nothing.
  10. Sorry akirby, that is Fusion, Escape, Milan and Mariner. I reported it on NHTSA website and I also called Ford Corporate, they will have a regional person call within a couple of days. I am trying something on my own. Since I have to turn the car off then on to have it run correctly, it clears any error codes. Dealer won't replace anything without an error code, especially under warranty. I am going to send a vehicle health report when it happens, with engine still running, to see if it sends error code, dealer nor Ford knows if it will. I tried it today when it happened, but I sent another report after restart for a comparison. When I checked syncmyride, it only holds the last report, over-writes any previous, so it shows the good one after restart. Dealer even says it is probably throttle body, but without the codes, nothing.
  11. Akirby, is there a TSB on the throttle body? It happened to me but dealer would not replace since they could not duplicate and there was no error code. I have an ESP but paid the dealer $100 to diagnose that they could not do anything. 2011 edge 46000 miles
  12. ssteven, do you know a TSB number? Mine is in right now, same problem, but they say if they can't duplicate it there is nothing they an do
  13. $99 to have it diagnosed? I didn't pay that. I have an 11 Edge and it was $250 to change the switch mechanism.
  14. I have an android, Samsung Galaxy S3 and I con now get messages and read them (if not moving) or have then read to me. I did not have that feature before
  15. Every state has laws that deal with defects in the purchase of a new car. People have options and resolutions can be reached. That's all I can say about that. 11 Edge Owner w/ MFT.
