Had diagnosis test done and did process of elimination.

So am I able to take in to manufacture and they fix free cuz of seriously dangerous defect. Car could egnite.

I've had the car for a year and it suddenly loses power during acceleration and Is throwing the P0299 turbocharger code. I was getting on the interstate when the car did this the 1st and 2nd times. It was a very busy time of day and my car suddenly decellerated in front of an 18 wheeler with my kids in the car. NO MATTER how hard I hit the gas it would not go and I almost got ran over by a tractor trailer. I had to slam on brakes and squeeze between the on ramp and a bridge guardrail to not be hit.

THROTTLE BODY IS CAUSING CAR TO STOP AT TIMES WHILE DRIVING AT AN ELECRATED RATE OF SPEED FOR NO REASON. THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPY IN A CAR THAT IS A 2012 AND ONLY HAS 68000 MILES. THIS HAPPENS ON AN OPEN HIGHWAY. IT HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES, I SELECTED THE LAST TIME.

I STARTED MY 2012 EDGE AND HEARD THE STARTER TAKE LONGER TO TURN OVER AND START THE CAR. WITHIN MOMENTS THE CHECK ENGINE ICON APPEARED. I TOOK MY EDGE IN TO AUTO HOBBY SHOP LOCATED ON A MILITARY INSTALLATION. THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE USED HIS CODE READER MACHINE TO VIEW CODE P0456. WHICH HE SAID IT INDICATED A MINOR FUEL LEAK. HE PERFORMED A SMOKE CHECK SAID HE NOTICED SMOKE LEAKING. I CALLED MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP TO CHECK IF THERE WERE ANY FUEL SYSTEM RECALLS. THEY SAID THERE WAS, BUT NOT FOR MY VIN. OF THE 3 RECALLS OUT FOR A 20012 EDGE, I ONLY RECIEVED ONE. ARE RECALLS ONLY FOR SPECIFIC YEARS/MODELS/VIN'S? HOW CAN I GET MY ISSUE REPAIRED? COULD MY VIN BE ADDED TO THE RECALL IF I HAD A RELATING ISSUE?

I WAS DRIVING ON A BUSY, CITY STREET AT APPROXIMATELY 30MPH WHEN MY 2012 FORD EDGE SPORT LOST POWER AND THE "WRENCH" WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. I HAD TO CAREFULLY MOVE TOWARDS THE RIGHT LANE AND WAS ABLE TO COAST INTO THE PARKING LOT OF A CONVENIENCE STORE. I TURNED IT OFF, WAITED 10 MINUTES, AND IT STARTED UP AGAIN. I DROVE HOME THE 3 MILES WITHOUT INCIDENT. THE SAME AFTERNOON, I DROVE IT TO THE NEAREST FORD DEALER TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT. THEIR REPORT SHOWED NO CODES AND TOLD US THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. I DROVE IT THAT NIGHT ABOUT 30 MILES WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS. THE NEXT MORNING, I EXITED MY NEIGHBORHOOD TRACT INTO A BUSY INTERSECTION WHERE THE CAR DIED AGAIN. I BARELY COASTED ONCE AGAIN TO SAFETY AFTER TRYING TO MAKE IT THROUGH THE INTERSECTION WITH THE THREAT OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THIS WAS TERRIFYING. I CALLED A TOW TRUCK AND THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE SAME DEALER WHERE THEY CONTINUE TO SAY THERE IS NO CODE AND THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AFTER DRIVING IT. THEY DID REPLACE THE BATTERY, SAYING THAT IT WAS LOW, EVEN THOUGH THE BATTERY IS LESS THAN ONE YEAR OLD. I AM NOT CONFIDENT THAT REPLACING THE BATTERY WILL FIX THE PROBLEM AND THEY DON'T SEEM CONFIDENT EITHER. THEY HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR 5 DAYS NOW AND WANT US TO PICK UP THE CAR UP TOMORROW. HOW CAN I FEEL SECURE DRIVING MY FAMILY IN A CAR THAT HAS PUT ME IN THIS DANGEROUS PREDICAMENT? I HAVE SPOKEN TO THE SERVICE MANAGER, FORD REGIONAL MANAGERS, AND NONE OF THEM ARE EMPATHETIC TO THIS SITUATION AND THEY OFFER NO SOLUTION.
