CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2015 Ford Edge has a trend of the engine dying while driving, which is typically considered a safety issue.

Owners report the stalling while driving problem is caused by the throttle body needing replacement. The problem typically occurs at low mileage & so the issue has been covered under warranty -- although by now, the 2015 Edge is generally past the full warranty period.

I received a Customer Satisfaction Program Notice in June 2023 #22N12 regarding the flex plate, transmission fluid pump and torque converter but the 100% coverage ended on 2/28/23. I was told by Ford on 7/3/23 that I should have received the notification in September 2022 but I did not. The representative told me that others have reported same problem in the last week or so. The Complaint number given to me by Ford is CAS43676484. I also submitted another complaint with nhtsa.gov number 11530072. I am unable to pay for this repair due to being on SS Disability since 2017 and also becoming a widow on 2/12/22. Please contact me with any available assistance with these issues which I was not properly notified of and am suffering hardship due to problems known by Ford with my vehicle I purchased in good faith.

While driving at highway speeds, the transmission will make a loud bang and it feels like you ran over an object on the road. The vehicle momentarily (up to 5 seconds) looses all acceleration. This has happened many times, but most concerning is when this happens while entering onto the highway and merging into traffic or passing on a 2 lane road within a passing zone and power is lost and there are oncoming vehicles. This has been reported to the local Ford dealership numerous times, but the same response is received each time, "unable to duplicate transmission problem). The first time this occurred was 02/26/2021 and has continued (25 incidence I have documented) to the most recent time 05/25/23.
