Description of the problem | 2009 ford edge -- major issue-- ford needs to cover costs--- i was driving my 2009 ford edge sel approx. 4 miles. Once i rolled to a stop at a traffic light the car began to idle and then stalled. No warning lights.. I started the engine and pressed the gas (no acceleration). The engine ran at around 1-2k rpm. I pressed the gas again, no acceleration. I shut off the car called aaa for a tow. I started the car once more to check the gauges, no service lights. When i checked the other indicators it stated, car temp -- ok, oil pressure - ok, etc... All ok.. No warning lights, no issues. The car was in about 1. 5 months ago for oil, 3-4 months for service. About 8-9 months ago, moroone ford of margate (under warranty) fixed an electrical issue (where no lights were showing) they claimed it was a ford issue and they replaced it (no cost). Well now this happened and moroone ford of margate said, "blown engine, $7,700 to replace + $400 for cooling fan." they said the cooling fan broke (no warning) and the engine blew. No warning, lights, etc... When i looked under the hood waiting for aaa (no smoke, no smell... Yet a blown engine (full replacement)... I will fight this because i believe this is an electrical issue that they tried to fix prior and this happened again. I also don't believe the engine was destroyed. Hopefully the government and ford will research and cover the repairs / replacement. No warning lights oil temp -- ok oil pressure -- ok car idled and stalled... Approx. Miles 82,000. |
