What owners wrote

My 2008 ford edge (since I brought it) has been having the same issue. When driving the vehicle, all of the lights on the panel will light up( wrench light, airbag light, tire pressure light...etc) the odometer will go off and have only dashes, the car will then have a loss of acceleration. The car feels like it is trying really hard to stay in gear or change gears.this will happen on the highway going 60MPH as well as local roads at lower speeds. I will have to put my hazards on and pull over on the side.
