FirstFord Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 I have a 2010 Ford Edge Limited with approximately 10,000 miles. The car randomly cuts off when idling. I cannot re-create at will or figure out what is causing this problem. It starts back up every time without issue. Has anyone else experienced this or have any suggestions?

railroad Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 Even though you obviously are not getting a check engine light, you might be storing an error code. Go by the dealer or auto parts store and let them see if you have a code that will help diagnois the problem. good luck, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FirstFord Posted June 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 Thank you, railroad! I had not thought about the local parts store. That's much easier than a trip to the dealer with a problem I cannot re-create. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
railroad Posted June 17, 2011 Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 Could be something as simple as a dirty throttle body. If the problem occurs when the a/c cycles on and the dirty passages interferes with idle adj for the increased load. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took the car in and they had to replace the throttle body. Now, if they would acknowledge the seat squeak and brake grinding I would be a happy girl.
