POWER TRAIN
DRIVING ON I-65 IN AN AREA WITH 4-5 LANES OF TRAFFIC WITH A SPEED ZONE OF 65 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE LOST POWER - WRENCH LIGHT WARNING LIGHT CAME ON - HAD TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE ACROSS 3 LANES OF TRAFFIC DURING RUSH HOUR TO REACH THE EMERGENCY LANE. IT WAS SHEER LUCK THAT I MADE IT TO THE EMERGENCY LANE WITHOUT BEING HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE AS I COULD NOT SPEED UP THE CAR AND THE SPEED WAS NEARING ZERO MPH. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED INTO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED AND EVENTUALLY REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY. IT TOOK THE DEALERSHIP APPROXIMATELY ONE WEEK TO REPAIR THE POWER TRAIN ISSUE. PER MY RESEARCH ON VARIOUS FORD EDGE SITES, THIS IS A VERY COMMON OCCURRENCE AND FORD HAS FAILED TO RECALL THIS ISSUE. LUCKILY, I WAS NOT HARMED. HOWEVER, NOT EVERYONE WILL BE THIS FORTUNATE. FORD NEEDS TO RECALL THIS ISSUE ASAP. *TR
