Description of the problem | On a highway driving 65 mph and vehicle shut off. Dashboard was dark yet flashed 'trans not in park'... Assuming i hit the start button by accident while adjusting my vent. I had to cruise to a complete stop (on a busy highway with no shoulder to pull over during rush hour) since brakes didn't even work and restarted vehicle once it came to a complete stop and i could hit the break. I tested it later on that day and while driving in a safe parking lot, i hit the start button as i was driving 20 mph and it indeed shut off. There is an obvious glitch where the start button does not disengage when the vehicle is in drive as it should. My edge had 5000 miles on it and i reported it to my ford sales person- he has yet to get back to me. Huge safety issue ford that must be addressed. |
