# 1. Brakes - There is a known brake issue with these vehicles. The brakes started making a loud hissing noise and we were almost unable to stop the vehicle and ended up in the middle of an intersection. This could have caused an accident and needs to be recalled. There was no warning, messages, or signs before this happened. These are the parts the repair shop and Ford dealership said needed to be replaced: Power Brake Booster, Hydraulic Control Unit, and Master Cylinder. #2 - Transmission - The car began to shake when trying to climb up a small hill and it also started to shake on the interstate. There were no warnings or messages that appeared.

I HAVE REPLACED THE PTU IN MY 07 FORD EDGE A FEW YEARS BACK THAT THE DEALERSHIP THEMSELVES TOLD ME THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL ON IT BECAUSE OF THE POOR DESIGN FOR $500. NOW I AM HAVING TO REPLACE THE POWER BRAKE BOOSTER BECAUSE I WOULD BE DRIVING AND HEAR A HISSING NOISE WHEN BRAKING OR MY BRAKES WOULD GET REALLY FIRM. WHICH I WAS TOLD THAT THE ORIGINAL OWNER COULD HAVE REPLACED FREE OF CHARGE NOT AS A RECALL, BUT SOMETHING ELSE. THAT IS NOW GOING TO COST $900.00. I DRIVE KIDS THAT I HAVE HAD PRETTY IMPORTANT THINGS FAIL THAT FORD NEVER RECALLED AND IT REALLY MAKES ME CONSIDER INVESTING IN ANOTHER FORD EVER AGAIN. IF SAFETY ISSUES AREN'T ENOUGH TO RECALL. AND IT TOOK THEM YEARS TO REPLACE THE AIR BAGS.

VEHICLE HAD DISPLAYED NO ISSUES PRIOR TO THIS. DROPPED VEHICLE OFF AT MECHANIC, WHEN HE LOOKED AT IT NEXT MORNING, VEHICLE IS RUNNING PERFECT. I AM GREATLY CONCERNED ABOUT WHAT APPEARS TO BE A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE WITH THIS CAR. THERE ARE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE TO BE FOUND ALL OVER THE INTERNET WITH NO FIXES KNOWN. FORD NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL AND FIX THIS ASAP BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY HURT OR IS KILLED FROM THE EXTREME LOSS OF POWER THE VEHICLE IS SUFFERING FROM WHEN THIS HAPPENS.

IT IS NOW AT THE FORD DEALER'S GARAGE AND I AM TOLD IT IS A TRANSMISSION. PROBLEM. THIS VEHICLE HAS 75K MILES AND I HAVE MAINTAINED IT TO THE COMPLY WITH FORD'S SPECS.

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD I NOTICED MY SPEED AT 0 MY ODOMETER AT 0...THOUGHT THAT WAS WEIRD. NOTICED WRENCH LIGHT, ENGINE LIGHT,AND AIRBAG LIGHT. CAME TO A STOP LIGHT AND STOPPED. UPON TAKEOFF WAS NEARLY REAR ENDED BECAUSE I WAS BARELY CREEPING.. RPMS STAYED AROUND 2K-3K..... PULLED IT INTO A PARKING LOT AND SWITCHED GEARS....LOUD CLANGS AND JERKS AS I'M SHIFTING. TURNED OFF CAR AND RESTARTED TO HAVE THE SAME LIGHTS AND SAME CLANKS AS I'M SHIFTING. I PULL OUT OF THE PARKING LOT SINCE I'M A MILE AWAY FROM HOME AND EVEN THOUGH I PULLED OUT WITH PLENTY OF TIME I WAS ALMOST TBONED. GOT IT HOME AND SHUT IT DOWN. I HAVE AROUND 255,000 MILES ON IT. OILS CHANGED. MAINTENANCE UPKEEP AND EVERYTHING. THIS ALL HAPPENED ON CITY STREETS, WHILE IN MOTION AND SITTING STILL. I SERIOUSLY DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW FORD IS ALLOWED TO OVERLOOK THIS AND NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING THESE VERY WELL KNOWN ISSUES THAT ARE A HAZARD TO DRIVERS....NOT JUST TO MYSELF BUT TO OTHERS AROUND ME AS WELL. THERE ARE WAY TOO MANY COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE FOR IT NOT TO BE TAKEN CARE OF. *TR

TOOK TO LOCAL FORD DEALER (HONDRU FORD) FOR SHUDDER/JERKING BETWEEN 40/60 MPH , THE ISSUE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED BY THE DEALER BUT IT CONTINUES TO BE A PROBLEM. FROM MY ONLINE RESEARCH THERE ARE OTHER COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE SAME ISSUES. THE FORD EDGE IS SERVICED ROUTINELY ,OIL CHANGE ETC. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS WITHOUT WARNING THE CABIN AIR VENTS FILL UP WITH AN ABNORMAL SMOKE ODOR. THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROADWAY, OPENED THE WINDOWS TO ELIMINATE SMOKE ODOR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE AND DETERMINED THAT THE TRANSMISSION SEAL LEAKED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES.

FORD STATES THAT THE PTU HAS A LIFETIME OIL AND DOES NOT NEED CHANGED YET THE UNIT IS LOCATED SO CLOSE TO EXHAUST THAT THE OIL TURNS TO SLUDGE, THERE IS NO PLUG TO CHECK FLUID CONDITIONS THERE IS NO WAY TO FLUSH AND OR REFILL. THE ONLY SOLUTION IS TO REPLACE THE PTU BUT HOW DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH DAMAGE TO THE TRANSMISSION WAS CAUSED? NO ONE KNOWS BECAUSE ITS SUPPOSEDLY A LIFETIME OIL AND THE DANGEROUS HEATING CONDITIONS OF THE PLACEMENT OF THE PTU HEATS THE OIL USELESS AND THE CAUSES DAMAGE TO THE TRANSMISSION. DEPENDING ON THE AMOUNT OF DAMAGE ASSESSED UPON REMOVAL, YOU MAY NEED TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION. I DO NOT HAVE ANY DOCUMENTATION ATTACHED BECAUSE I HAVE POURED SO MUCH MONEY INTO TRYING TO ISOLATE AND DIAGNOSE I NOW CANT AFFORD TO HAVE THIS VERY EXPENSIVE PROBLEM FIXED. THIS HAS A POOR DESIGN AND SHOULD BE REPLACED BY THE MANUFACTURE.

2007 FORD EDGE. HISTORY: REGULAR SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE PERFORMED ALWAYS, GARAGE KEPT, TAKEN WELL CARE OF. MILEAGE AT THIS TIME IS 145K. ***DRIVING ALONG (IN TOWN) WHEN I NOTICED THE EDGE WAS IDLING REALLY LOW (NOTE: 2 WEEKS AFTER SCHEDULED OIL CHANGE, INSPECTION AND NEW BATTERY)-ALL OF A SUDDEN HEARD THIS TERRIBLE CLANKING NOISE. IT SOUNDED LIKE THE WHOLE CAR WAS FALLING APART. I PULLED OVER IN TO A PARKING LOT, SHUT THE CAR OFF. TRIED TO CRANK IT AGAIN AND IT WOULDN'T CRANK-FINALLY DID AFTER SEVERAL TRIES (STILL MAKING THIS TERRIBLE SOUND). **NO WARNING LIGHTS, NO FLUCTUATING IN GAGES---NOTHING. WE HAD THE EDGE TOWED TO OUR FORD DEALERSHIP AND WERE TOLD THE WATER PUMP WENT BAD AND THE ENGINE WAS DESTROYED. OUR OIL WAS FULL OF WATER/COOLANT--IT LOOKED LIKE MUDDY WATER. WHAT? HOW? NO WARNING, NO SIGNS? AFTER MUCH RESEARCH WE ARE FINDING THAT THE WATER PUMP IS INSIDE THE ENGINE, THEREFORE IF THE WATER PUMP "GOES" THERE ARE NO EXTERNAL SIGNS OF LEAKAGE---IT'S KINDLY LEAKING IN TO YOUR ENGINE AND DESTROYING IT. THIS LITERALLY HAPPENED IN A MATTER OF MINUTES. YES, THIS IS SAFETY ISSUE--IT LEFT ME STRANDED AND NOW I'M WITHOUT A VEHICLE FOR ANOTHER WEEK OR SO WHILE A NEW ENGINE IS BEING ORDERED AN INSTALLED. I CAN'T BELIEVE FORD HASN'T ADDRESSED THIS "DESIGN" ISSUE WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS I'VE READ THUS FAR. THIS DESERVES A RECALL AND AT THE VERY LEAST IT DESERVES FORD'S ATTENTION TO BE REDESIGNED. RESEARCH ALSO SHOWS THIS IS NOT JUST A FORD EDGE PROBLEM---IT'S OTHER FORD MAKES AS WELL. THIS IS NOW AN $8000 "FIX". PLEASE HAVE THIS LOOKED IN TO ON THE CONSUMER'S BEHALF.

FORD DEALER HAS MY 2007 FORD EDGE DUE TO IT STALLING OUT WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH ON A HIGHWAY CAUSING MY ENGINE TO DIE SO I HAD TO GET TOWED HOME AND OFF OF THE HIGHWAY. THE DEALER ORIGINALLY THOUGHT IT WAS THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY BUT THEY HAVE NOW DETERMINED THAT WAS NOT THE PROBLEM. INSTEAD IT IS THE PCM WHICH IS COSTING ME OVER $1500, IF THAT EVEN FIXES THIS. PLUS I HAVE BEEN PAYING FOR A RENTAL CAR BECAUSE THE DEALERS DON'T HAVE FREE LOANER VEHICLES. SO THIS WHOLE THING IS GOING TO COST ME ABOUT $2000. NOW I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM, AND CAN CLEARLY TELL THIS IS NOT NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR INSTEAD IT IS A FAULTY PART THAT SO MANY OTHER OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING. I CLEARLY SEE FORD HAS BEEN MADE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND THEY SHOULD BE TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR MISTAKE. FORD HAS REFUSED TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH IT IS VERY DANGEROUS AND COSTLY FOR THE VEHICLE OWNER.

IT WAS LOOKED AT BY A FORD DEALER WHO SAID THE PCM DIED AND TOOK OUT AT LEAST THREE COIL PACKS. TOLD ME IF I DROVE IT ANY FURTHER IT WOULD LIKELY CATCH FIRE. UP TO THIS POINT I HADN'T HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR. IT WAS RUNNING FINE. THIS ALL HAPPENED SO QUICKLY AND IN SUCH A DANGEROUS LOCATION THAT IT COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT.

WHILE DRIVING ON A FREEWAY SUDDENLY A PUNGENT SMELL FILLED THE CABIN AND THAT WAS UNBEARABLE ALONG WITH A HUGE CRACKING SOUND THAT DIDN'T STOP... TOOK THE NEXT EXIT AND STOPPED AT A PARKING SPOT. TOOK TO THE FORD DEALER THE SAME DAY AND THEY DIAGNOSED IMMEDIATELY THAT THE PTU NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND THAT'S A KNOW ISSUE WHERE ALMOST ALL THE FORD EDGES OF 2007 AND 08 HAVE THE PTU ISSUE. THE SMELL IS FROM THE OIL THAT LEAKED FROM THE PTU WHICH FELL ON THE EXHAUST. PAID AROUND $1800 TO REPLACE THE PTU. I AM WONDERING WHY THERE IS NO RECALL AS IT SEEM TO HAPPEN FOR MOST OF THE EDGES. CALLED THE FORD CORPORATE CUSTOMER CARE TO REPORT THE ISSUE AND THEY DIDN'T CARE TO LISTEN AND ASKED TO DEAL WITH THE LOCAL DEALERS. DIDN'T EXPECT THIS FROM FORD AND I WOULD REQUEST NHTSA ODI TEAM TO LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE AND FLAG THIS AS RECALL AS THIS COULD CREATE A SERIOUS CRASH WHEN IT HAPPENS ON A FREEWAY AS IT COULD SLOW DOWN THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY AND THINK ABOUT THE CONDITION OF THE INFANTS WHO COULD INHALE THE GASES. I LITERALLY HAD ISSUE INHALING FOR NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS AS THE SMELL WAS THAT BAD WHEN IT LEAKED. *TR

2007 FORD EDGE HAS PTU LEAK, THE TRANSMISSION IS NOT SHIFTING PROPERLY, THE BRAKE LIGHT BULBS ARE CONSTANTLY BLOWING AND MELTING IN THE SOCKET. THE BRAKES SOUND LIKE THEY ARE GRINDING METAL AND THE CD PLAYER DECIDED TO QUIT WORKING TOO. I HAVE READ ONLINE OF OTHERS HAVING ALL OF THESE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS. THE PTU AND TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS SHOULD NOT BE SOMETHING THAT THE OWNER SHOULD HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE CORRECTED WHEN IT IS CLEARLY A DESIGN FLAW FROM THE MANUFACTURER. I AM A SINGLE MOTHER AND STILL MAKING PAYMENTS ON THIS CAR AND CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO HAVE THEIR DESIGN FLAW REPAIRED!! WHEN IN MOTION THE TRANSMISSION ACTS AS THOUGH IT DOESN'T KNOW WHEN TO SHIFT. IT KIND OF FEELS LIKE I AM IN A MANUAL AND HAVEN'T CHANGED GEARS WHEN I AM SUPPOSED TO AND IF I DON'T PUSH THE CLUTCH IN IT WILL STALL OUT. BUT INSTEAD THIS IS AN AUTOMATIC BEHAVING THAT WAY AND INSTEAD OF A CLUTCH I HAVE TO GIVE IT MORE GAS TO GET IT TO DOWNSHIFT OR IT ACTS LIKE IT IS GOING TO STALL. THIS IS A PROBLEM GOING 20 OR BELOW AS WELL AS 55 OR ABOVE, IT ALSO FEELS LIKE THE DRIVESHAFT IS VIBRATING THE WHOLE CAR WHEN IT DOES THIS. IT STARTED OUT BEING INTERMITTENT BUT NOW IT IS A DAILY OCCURRENCE, BUT IT IS ALL I HAVE TO DRIVE TO WORK SO I DEAL WITH IT. IT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED!!

2014 MY 2007 FORD EDGE JERKED AND REDUCED IN SPEED WHILE TRYING TO GO UPHILL IN MORNING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC LESS THAN 25 MPH. I PULLED TO THE SHOULDER TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF THEN BACK ON & IT WAS GOOD FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE DAY- THIS HAPPENED MORE THAN ONCE SO I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO MY AUTHORIZED MECHANIC (OF OVER 17 YEARS) WITHIN A WEEK OF THAT INCIDENT & THEY REPLACED SOME COMPONENT ASSOCIATED WITH THE TRANSMISSION. THE CAR WORKED FINE FOR A LITTLE OVER 18 MONTHS. 2016 IT HAS HAPPENED AGAIN WITH THE SAME ISSUE SAME AS BEFORE IN MORNING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC EXCEPT WITH THE JERK & AUTO DEACCELERATION THERE WAS A LOUD *BUMP AS IF SOMEONE REAR-ENDED ME. I PULLED OFF TO THE SHOULDER TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE THEN BACK ON & IT DID FINE FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES THEN IT HAPPENED A 2ND TIME SO AGAIN I PULL OFF TO THE SHOULDER TURN OFF THE VEHICLE THEN BACK ON & IT IS FINE-ALMOST AS IF THE VEHICLE RESETS WHEN YOUR TURN IT OFF THEN BACK ON. I TOOK THE CAR TO MY MECHANIC, THE OWNER IS WHO USUALLY DIAGNOSIS MY CAR IS ON VACATION OUT OF THE COUNTRY--UGH. AFTER EXPLAINING THE INCIDENT ONE MECHANIC TEST DRIVES IT FOR A COUPLE MINS THEN SAYS THE TRANSMISSION IS NO GOOD AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. CONSIDERING THIS VEHICLE IS GARAGED, & VERY WELL MAINTAINED ON A REGULAR BASIS I OPTED FOR A SECOND OPINION, ESPECIALLY SINCE THERE IS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS, ODOR, SMOKE, LEAKAGE OR ANYTHING THAT INDICATES SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSMISAION. JUST THE JERK WITH DEACCELERATION & MAYBE HESITATION WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE DURING THIS INCIDENT. THE SECOND SHOP'S DIAGNOSTICS CAME BACK SHOWING NO ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION NOTHING. TO YOU FORD I SAY I'VE WATCHED YOUTUBE VIDEOS & READ SIMILAR COMPLAINTS, OBVIOUSLY A RECALL IS NEEDED, PLEASE WATCH YOUTUBE AND DO MORE RESEARCH REGARDING YOUR PRODUCT THAT IS AFFECTING YOUR CUSTOMER BASE.

MY 2007 EDGE STARTED TO EMIT A FOUL SMELL EVERY TIME I STEPPED ON THE BRAKES. IT WOULD SMELL LIKE SOMETHING WAS BURNING AND A COUPLE OF TIMES I PULLED OFF THE ROAD TO DOUBLE CHECK AND MAKE SURE THAT THE CAR WAS NOT ON FIRE. I TOOK THE CAR INTO A FORD DEALER TO HAVE THE FUEL TANK RECALL COMPETED SINCE THEY FINALLY CAME IN AND THEY NOTICED A LEAK IN THE PTU AND THAT IT WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED AND WOULD COST OVER $1350 TO BE REPLACED AND INSTALLED. THE PART ALONE IS OVER $800. FORD HAS HAD AT LEAST 3 SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THIS ISSUE AND STILL REFUSES TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR FIXING THIS SAFETY ISSUE.

WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET AND ON A STATE ROAD TRANSMISSION WILL ACT AND SOUND LIKE IT IS SLIPPING OR NOT ENGAGING IN GEAR AND SOMETIMES WILL ONLY WORK IN REVERSE.WHEN PROBLEM OCCURS VEHICLE WILL LOSE ALL POWER AND ENGINE WILL REV UP BUT VEHICLE WILL NOT MOVE. I HAVE HAD IT TOWED TO DEALER AND HAVE TAKEN IT IN TO DEALER, THEY SAY THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE THE PROBLEM. THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT WHEN IT HAPPENS I NEED TO PULL OVER SOMEWHERE SAFE AND SHUT THE CAR OFF AND LET THE "COMPUTER/ SENSORS " RESET AND THAT WILL "TAKE CARE" OF THE PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM IS GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE AS TIME GOES ON. I AM AFRAID IF THIS HAPPENS IN TRAFFIC SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET SERIOUSLY HURT OR KILLED AS THERE IS NO POWER TO GET OFF THE ROAD AND OUT OF TRAFFIC

I WAS TRAVELING AROUND 40 MPH ON A STATE HIGHWAY WHEN SPUTTERING AND VIBRATION ISSUES STARTED WITH 2007 FORD EDGE AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. STILL DROVE VEHICLE TO MY MECHANIC WHICH STATED COIL BURNED OUT AND SENT SURGE OF POWER TO THE PCM. MECHANIC STATED DESIGN OF PCM WOULDN'T STOP THE FIRING OF COIL AND NOT TO DRIVE VEHICLE ANY FURTHER OR IT WILL BURN TO THE GROUND. MECHANIC STATED ONLY THE FORD DEALERSHIP CAN INSTALL A NEW ONE AND REST THE CAR TO GET IT RUNNING. TOWED VEHICLE TO FORD DEALERSHIP WHO STATED THEY HAVE A TSB ISSUED FOR THIS PROBLEM AND THEY WILL NEED TO REPLACE THE PCM AND ALL 6 COILS BECAUSE THEY HAVE ALL MELTED. FORD DEALERSHIP STATED THIS WAS AN ON GOING PROBLEM DUE TO A FAULTY DESIGN OF THE PCM THAT WHEN A COIL BURNS OUT (COMMON WEAR AND TEAR AND $100 TO $200 FIX) THE PCM DOESN'T STOP FIRING TO THE COILS WHICH COULD CAUSE THE CAR TO CATCH FIRE. ESTIMATE TO FIX THE PCM AND ALL SIX COILS WAS $2,958. REASON FOR COMPLAINT - I UNDERSTAND WEAR AND TEAR ON A VEHICLE, BUT DUE TO A DESIGN ISSUE IN THE FORD/MERCURY/LINCOLN PCM, IT CAUSED EXTENSIVE DAMAGE AND REPAIR TO THE CAR AND POTENTIAL TO BURN TO THE GROUND. $100 FIX WITH PROPER DESIGN AND NOW $2,958 DUE TO PCM ISSUE. I AM REQUESTING THIS ISSUE TO BE REVIEWED FOR REIMBURSEMENT BY THE MANUFACTURER OR RECALL ISSUED. THANKS YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

SINCE I PURCHASED VEHICLE, WILL BE DRIVING AND ALL OF A SUDDEN NO POWER, CAR DOES NOT DIE OUT. IT IS STILL RUNNING, BUT YOU CANNOT GO ANYWHERE, WRENCH LIGHT COMES ON. IT'S DONE IT AT RANDOM, DEAL NEVER FINDS ISSUE. IT IS NOW HAPPENING EVERY DAY AND WILL THROW A THROTTLE BODY CODE, SAME ISSUE AS WITH OTHER FORDS. COMPLAINTS ARE ALL OVER THE INTERNET, DEALERSHIP HAS TOLD ME THEY'VE SEEN IT WITH ALMOST ALL FORD EDGES. IT IS THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDING TO BE RECALLED. THERE IS A FORD TSB ON OTHER MODELS OF FORD WITH THE SAME EXACT ISSUE. THIS CAN CAUSE A FATAL ACCIDENT AS THE CAR JUST STOPS ACCELERATING SO IT SLOWS DOWN QUICKLY. THE ONLY RESOLUTION IS TO SHUT IT OFF AND RESTART IT. THIS ALSO CLEARS THE CODE SO THAT'S WHY IT'S HARD TO TROUBLESHOOT AT THE DEALER. FORD NEEDS TO STEP UP AND DO SOMETHING BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. I JUST DON'T DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY ANY LONGER BECAUSE I'M AFRAID OF BEING REAR ENDED AT HIGH SPEEDS BECAUSE OF NEGLIGENCE ON FORD'S PART.

DRIVING AT 55MPH IN HEAVY TRAFFICE VEHICLE ALL OF A SUDDEN LOST POWER AND PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL DID NOTHING. CAR JERKED AND SHUDDERED AND WAS LIKE IT WAS IN NEUTRAL. ALMOST CAUSED A SERIOUS COLLISION. TURNED CAR OFF AND T HE BACK ON AND WAS BALE TO GO AS LONG AS I STAYED UNDER 30MPH. VEHICLE WOULD SPORADICALLY "REV" UP WHEN I PRESSED THE GAS BUT WOULD NOT HAVE EXTRA POWER. HAD TRANSMISSION FLUID CHECKED, LEVEL WAS PERFECT. LEFT THE SERVICE SHOP AND WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AND WENT TO ACCELERATE AND IT ACTED AS IF IT WERE IN NEUTRAL AGAIN, IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY ROAD. HAD TO HAVE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT REDIRECT TRAFFIC DUE TO MY CAR BLOCKING 2 LANES. HAD TO BE TOWED AWAY.

2007 FORD EDGE LOOSES POWER. SPEEDOMETER GOES TO 0. EXCLAMATION MARK, AIR BAG AND TOOL LIGHT COMES ON. MOTOR REVS UP TO HIGH RPM. I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A SENSOR ISSUE WITH THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE. AND IT IS A VERY COMMON HAPPENING WITH THIS VEHICLE. WITH THE VEHICLE SHUTTING DOWN WITHOUT ANY INDICATION THAT IT IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN. THIS HAPPENS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AS WELL AS IN TOWN SPEEDS. I THINK FORD SHOULD INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE AND ISSUE A RECALL. THANK YOU *TR

GENERALLY, SHORTLY AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE SOMETIMES I WOULD COME TO A STOP, AND WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO GO THE ENGINE WOULD REV BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. IT WAS LIKE IT WAS IN NEUTRAL, AND THERE IS AN ORANGE WRENCH THAT LIGHTS UP ON MY DASHBOARD. WHEN PLACING THE CAR BACK INTO PARK THERE WOULD BE A HARD SHIFT ON THE ENGINE. AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF FOR A FEW SECONDS AND RESTARTING, IT WOULD WORK LIKE NORMAL. IT DOES IT VERY SPORADICALLY, SOMETIMES ONCE EVERY COUPLE MONTHS SOMETIMES A COUPLE TIMES A WEEK. IT SEEMS VERY RANDOM. TODAY IT DID IT TO ME WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 40MPH. IT WAS THE FIRST TIME IT HAD DONE THIS WHILE I WAS DRIVING. WHEN IT HAPPENED THERE WAS A SPUTTER FROM THE ENGINE, LIKE A HARD SHIFT, AND THEN I NOTICED THE ORANGE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AND IT FELT LIKE IT WAS IN NEUTRAL. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO GET CHECKED BUT THE MECHANICS CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND THERE ARE NO ERROR CODES THAT COME UP. MY RESEARCH ONLINE SAYS THAT IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE POWER TRANSFER UNITS SEALS LEAKING, BUT I WOULD THINK THAT PROBLEM WOULD CAUSE THE CAR TO NOT WORK WHEN RESTARTED. NOT TO MENTION THE OTHER SYMPTOMS OF A LEAK, INCLUDING SMELL, ARE NOT PRESENT. THE OTHER SOLUTION COMMONLY MENTIONED IS REPLACING SENSORS, BUT THEN A LOT OF THOSE REVIEWS SAY THEY END UP REPLACING SO MANY SENSORS AND THEN IT STILL HAPPENS.

A FEW WEEKS AGO, I NOTICED THERE WAS A NOISE COMING FROM SOMEWHERE THAT SOUNDED LIKE A WHEEL BEARING, I TOOK IT TO A FEW PLACES TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT. THEY CAME UP WITH DIFFERENT THINGS, FINALLY I GOT TO THE RIGHT PLACE AND THEY FIGURED OUT THAT IT WAS THE PTU. THEY SAID THE SEAL HAD LEAKED ALL THE OIL OUT AND DESTROYED THE BEARINGS. YOU DON'T KNOW THE OIL IS LEAKING OUT AS IT GOES INTO THE EXHAUST AND EVAPORATES. THEY WERE ABLE TO FIND ME A USED ONE THAT THEY WENT THROUGH AND FOUND IT TO BE GOOD. COST WAS $1,800 TO REPLACE. AS I UNDERSTAND, FORD HAS COVERED UP THIS PROBLEM FOR MANY YEARS. I HAVE SEEN MANY SIMILAR PROBLEMS IN THE COMPLAINT SECTION FOR EDGES AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. I THINK FORD SHOULD BE MADE TO RE-IMBURST ALL COMPLAINTS WITH THIS PROBLEM. I AM ON A FIXED INCOME AN THIS UNEXPECTED EXPENSE KEPT US FROM OUR VACATION TO VISIT OUR FAMILY IN PENNSYLVANIA AND I AM VERY UPSET.

RESTARTED CAR AND EVERYTHING APPEARED NORMAL EXCEPT CAR HAD VERY LITTLE POWER TO MOVE UNTIL ABOUT 10 MPH WAS REACHED WHEN A HARD TRANSMISSION SHIFT PUT CAR INTO GEAR AND ALL BECAME FULLY OPERATIONAL. THIS HAPPENED THREE TIMES IN A ONE WEEK PERIOD OF TIME, ALWAYS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. SUBSEQUENT RESEARCH BY INDEPENDENT MECHANIC INDICATED THIS A COMMON PROBLEM REQUIRING REPLACEMENT OF TWO SPEED SENSORS IN TRANSMISSION AT COST OF $629.00.

SOMETIMES IT DRIVE PERFECT AND THEN WHEN I AM DRIVE AROUND TOWN IT ACTS AS IF IT IS STUCK IN GEAR. *TR

I FILED THE ORIGINAL COMPLAINT (10680995) ON FEBRUARY 3RD, BUT I WANTED TO EDIT OR UPDATE IT, BUT COULDN'T FIND THE WAY, SO I AM TAKING THE LIBERTY TO POST A NEW ONE. IT HAS BEEN 2 AND A HALF MONTHS SINCE THE INCIDENT AND AS A DISGRACE IT HAS NOT BEEN POSSIBLE FOR THE FORD DEALER IN CENTRAL AMERICA TO GET THE COMPUTER MODULE PART. CAN YOU IMAGINE THIS AMOUNT OF TIME WITHOUT YOUR VEHICLE, SPECIALLY IF IT IS YOUR WORKING TOOL? THE FOLLOWING WAS MY STATEMENT IN THE FIRST REPORT: "I HAVE A 2007 FORD EDGE WITH VERY LOW MILEAGE TO DATE. THIS IS USUALLY MY FAMILY CAR, DRIVEN BY MY WIFE. WE LIVE IN GUATEMALA AND DROVE TO A HOUSE ON THE BEACH, THAT IS ABOUT 100 MILES AWAY. ON JANUARY FIRST WHEN WE WERE RETURNING I STARTED THE CAR AND NOTICED A SHAKE AND SPUTTER, AND I THOUGHT THAT IT WAS PROBABLY A DEFECTIVE SPARK PLUG. I MANAGED TO DRIVE OUT OF WHERE WE WERE AND AS SOON AS WE GOT TO THE MAIN HIGHWAY I HAD TO STOP AND CALL FOR A TOW. THE SHAKING AND SPUTTERING WERE FRIGHTENING. THE SHOP I TOOK IT TO SAYS THAT AT LEAST 3 IGNITION COILS NEED TO BE REPLACED AND ARE NOT SURE IF THE PCM ALSO HAS TO BE REPLACED. UNFORTUNATELY, SINCE THERE ARE PARTS STOCK PROBLEM HERE, I HAD TO WAIT ALMOST A MONTH TO GET THE PARTS AND NOW THAT I HAVE THEM (THE COILS) I STILL HAVE TO WAIT TO SEE WHAT THE REAL PROBLEM IS. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER IN THE REGION TO SEE WHAT CAN BE DONE. I HAD TO REPORT THIS AS IT IS NOT A UNIQUE PROBLEM TOBUYERS IN THE US, ALSO ABROAD". SO FAR, I DO NOT KNOW WHEN THE PART WILL BE AVAILABLE. LAST FRIDAY IT WAS STILL IN BACKORDER IN THE FORD PLANT, OR SO THEY SAY. I DONT KNOW EITHER HOW MUCH IS GOING TO COST, BUT AT THIS RATE I JUST WANT TO GET RID OF THAT PIECE OF JUNK. I HAVE PROVIDED A FLORIDA CONTACT AS THERE IS NO ACCESS TO OTHER COUNTRIES. *TR

I NOTICE OIL LEAKING I PUT ON JACK STANDS TO EXAMINE SO I DID SOME RESEARCH AND I HAVE WHAT'S CALLED THE PTU WHICH IS PART OF THE TRANSFER CASE FOR THE AWD IT APPEARS THERE IS AN INNER SEAL AND OUTER SEAL. IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S THE OUTER SEAL LEAKING FROM THE PTU THE SIDE THAT THE CV AXLE IS ON CONNECTED TO PASSENGER TIRE. I CALLED FORD AND THEY WANT 1200-1500 DOLLARS TO FIX A SEAL THAT'S NOT RECALLED. IT'S KNOWN TO BE HAPPENING TO ALL FORD EDGES I HAVE NO WARRANTY ON THE VEHICLE WHICH MAKES IT HARDER TO AFFORD TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR. *TR

THE TRANSMISSION FEELS LIKE IT IS IN NEUTRAL. IT JERKS LIKE SOMEONE HAS RAN INTO YOUR VEHICLE WITH THEIR VEHICLE. SEVERAL WARNING LIGHTS COME ON. SPEEDOMETER GOES TO ZERO. IF YOU COME TO A STOP, YOU MAY NOT GET GOING AGAIN. HAD THIS CHECKED OUT AND REPLACED A SENSOR COSTING ME $425.00 AND LESS THAN 2 WEEKS LATER, PROBLEM OCCURS AGAIN. HAD THIS CHECKED OUT AND NOW THEY ARE HOLLERING ANOTHER SENSOR HAS WENT BAD AND THIS ONE IS GOING TO COST $600.00. DID NOT HAVE THIS ONE FIXED!! ALSO HAD TO HAVE VEHICLE TOWED HOME ONE TIME COSTING EVEN MORE MONEY.... *TR

ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO MY 2007 FORD EDGE BEGAN TO LEAK A FLUID WHICH I THOUGHT MAY HAVE BEEN TRANSMISSION FLUID. ONCE I NOTICED THE LEAK I STOP DRIVING THE VEHICLE. I TOOK IT INTO THE LOCAL FORD DEALER (WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE) AND I WAS TOLD I NEEDED TO HAVE THE TRANSFER CASE REPLACED. THIS IS VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR SO I DECIDED TO SEE IF THIS ISSUE HAD OCCURRED IN OTHER 2007 FORD EDGES. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE VERY PREVALENT BUT FORD HAS DECIDED TO LEVY THIS EXPENSE TO THE CUSTOMER RATHER THAN ADMIT THERE IS A REAL ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE'S DRIVETRAIN.

ON OR AROUND 11/29/2014 I WAS DRIVING MY FAMILY IN OUR 2007 FORD EDGE ON THE FREEWAY, TRAVELING APPROX. 70 MPH, WHEN THE SYSTEM DISPLAY READ SOMETHING REFERRING TO O/D TRANSMISSION MESSAGE OF SOME SORT. I LOST DRIVE TRAIN POWER AND COASTED TO AN EXIT RAMP WHILE THE VEHICLE STRUGGLE TO MAINTAIN DRIVE. A SHORT TIME LATER I WAS ABLE TO PARK IN A PARKING LOT, AND WHEN I SHIFTED THE LEVER INTO PARK IT PASSED BY REVERSE AND SHIFTED VIOLENTLY. I TRIED TO SHIFT TO DRIVE WITH THE SAME RESULT. I CONTACTED AVIS FORD WHERE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, TOLD THEM WHAT HAPPENED, AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THEIR SERVICE CENTER WAS BACKED UP ON TRANSMISSION REPAIRS FOR A RECALL TILL FEBRUARY 2015! I FOUND ATRANSMISSION SHOP WHO, RAN A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK, AND DROVE MY VEHICLE WITH ME IN IT, AND SAID THERE WASN'T ANYTHING HE COULD SEE. I CALLED MY SALESMAN, HE TRIED TO SEE WHAT HE COULD DO. HE LATER INFORMED ME IF I COULD SOMEHOW GET THE VEHICLE HOME, TO UNHOOK THE BATTERY, WAIT FOR AN HOUR, AND HOOK IT BACK UP THAT THIS WOULD RESET THE PCM MODULE, AND MAYBE CORRECT THE ISSUE. IT APPEARED TO REMEDY THE SYMPTOM, UNTIL TODAY WHEN MY WIFE ARRIVED AT HER OFFICE, AND AS SHE WAS PULLING IN TO PARK THE SAME MESSAGE APPEARED, WITH THE SAME SYMPTOMS. UNFORTUNATELY THIS IS OUR ONLY VEHICLE, AND I'LL HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE WHAT TO DO NEXT. I HAVE CONTACTED MY DEALER. I ALSO CALLE FORD MOTOR CO.'S CUSTOMER SERVICE TODAY TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS FOR THESE SYMPTOMS, AND THE REPRESENTATIVE STATED THAT THERE WERE NONE FOR THAT.

THE 2007 FORD EDGE AWD 93,000 MILES DEVELOPED A SLIGHT HUMMING IN THE FRONT END, IT ACTUALLY SOUNDED LIKE A CUPPED TIRE OR A WHEEL BEARING. WE IMMEDIATELY CALLED OUR MECHANIC AND HAD IT INSPECTED. UPON INSPECTION HE INFORMED US THAT THE PTU WAS RUINED, WE HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE FROM NEW AND SERVICED IT AS REQUIRED AND ONLY DRIVE IT ON THE HIGHWAY APPROX 45 MILES PER DAY. IT TURNS OUT THAT THE PTU (TRANSFER CASE) OVERALL HAS A ISSUE WITH THE SEALS THAT HOLD THE FLUID (OUTER SEAL=GEAR OIL, INNER SEAL= TRANNY FLUID) INSIDE THE UNIT, THE MECHANIC SAID THAT HE'S DONE SO MANY OF THE SEAL REPLACEMENTS THAT AT ONE POINT THAT WAS ALL HE WAS DOING IN A DAY AT THE DEALERSHIP. THE REAL ISSUE IS THAT WHEN THE SEAL GOES YOU CAN'T TELL BECAUSE IT LEAKS DIRECTLY ONTO THE EXHAUST AND BURNS OFF AS YOUR DRIVING. IF WE WERE INFORMED OF THE LEAKY SEAL WE COULD HAVE HAD THE SEALS REPLACED FOR ABOUT $200, BUT UNFORTUNATELY WE FOUND OUT THE HARD (EXPENSIVE) WAY $2000. IM A PERSON THAT TAKES CAR MAINTENANCE VERY SERIOUSLY, WE HAVE A CONSTRUCTION COMPANY AND HAVE HAD ABOUT 14 DIFFERENT FORD MODELS OVER THE YEARS, AND ITS BECOMING MORE APPARENT ANY FORD BUILT AFTER 2004 IS FILLED WITH ISSUES (TO ME FACTORY DEFECTS) THAT THEY AREN'T TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR.

THIS LAST TIME THE VEHICLE GOT ME STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD FOR 2.5 HOURS UNTIL THE TOW TRUCK GOT THERE AND TOWED IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALER STARTED IT TWO DAYS LATE AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE. I HAD IT TO THE SHOP PREVIOUSLY TO TRY AND GET THIS DIAGNOSED AND THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. I HAVE READ HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS INVOLVING THE SAME THING. FORD SHOULD LOOK AT WHAT IS CAUSING THIS PROBLEM AND OPEN A CLAIM TO TAKE CARE OF THESE ISSUES. *TR

CAR SAT UN-DRIVEN IN GARAGE FOR 9 DAYS. WHEN CAR WAS TAKEN OUT AND DRIVEN, THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE FORWARD. SPEED SHOWN CAR GOING 55 MILES AND HOUR BUT IT WAS NOT MOVING. PUT CAR IN REVERSE AND IT WOULD MOVE. PUT CAR IN DRIVE AND LOW GEARS AND CAR WOULD MOVE FORWARD VERY SLOWLY. CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. DEALERSHIP STATED ONLY FIX WAS TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. MEANING A LOT OF MONEY HAD TO BE SPENT TO FIX THE CAR. THIS IS A VERY CLEAN CAR AND TAKEN IN FOR REGULAR TURN-UPS, WITH LOW MILES FOR THE AGE OF THE CAR. THERE WAS NO INDICATION OF ANYTHING BEING WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT. ACCORDING TO REPORTS, FORD HAS HAD MANY ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSIONS. FORD NEEDS TO TAKE THE STAND AND TAKE CARE OF THIS PROBLEM, BEFORE THERE AREA ANY FATALITIES. *TR

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN, I HAVE NOTICED NUMEROUS 2007 FORD EDGE OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE I HAD RECENTLY, LEAKING TRANSFER CASE PTU UNIT. I ALSO NOTICED THIS SAME ISSUE IS HAPPENING WITH LINCOLN'S AND MAZDA'S OF SAME MODEL TYPE. I BELIEVE MAZDA HAS OFFERED OWNERS SOME SORT OF COMPENSATION/RECALL/EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THIS MANUFACTURED DEFECT. MY QUESTION IS WHAT IS FORD GOING TO DO ABOUT THIS VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR THAT OWNERS HAVE TO PAY FOR THAT IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT? I DID HAVE IT REPLACED FOR A PRETTY PENNY AND NOW I HEAR A CLANKING NOISE WHEN I TURN THAT WAS NOT THERE BEFORE THE REPAIR. SINCERELY, VERY CONCERNED AND FRUSTRATED LOYAL CUSTOMER *TR

I STARTED OFF TO WORK, GOING ABOUT 10MPH PUSHED THE BRAKE FOR A STOP SIGN AND MY CAR JERKED FORWARD. WHEN TRYING TO LEAVE THE STOP SIGN MY CAR WAS SLUGGISH TO TAKE OFF AND THEN SHIFTED HARD, WOULDN'T GO OVER 30MPH, ENGINE REVVING HIGH AND LOUD. I PULLED OVER, TURNED OFF THE CAR AND WAITED.. I MADE IT TO WORK WITH A SLUGGISH CAR AND NO SPEED OVER 32MPH. TOOK TO THREE PLACES TO HAVE SCANNED AND EVERYWHERE SAYS THERE'S NOTHING WRONG/NO CODES SHOWING. LOCAL DEALERSHIP SAYS A MONTH BEFORE I CAN GET IN TO BE SCANNED THERE. AFTER SEARCHING I AM CONCERNED THAT THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL FOR 2007 FORD EDGE CONCERNING THE TRANSMISSION SOLENOID OR SENSORS?! THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND SEEM THAT IT COULD BE RATHER PRICEY SINCE PEOPLE HAVE TO DIG AROUND THE TRANSMISSION TO FIND THE ISSUE BECAUSE NO CODES ARE SHOWING.. I NEED THIS FIXED :( *TR

I WAS TURNING A CORNER SLOWLY WHEN THE CAR HALTED ABRUPTLY AND SLID SLIGHTLY ON THE GRAVEL ROAD. I WAS SURPRISED AND GOT OUT OF THE CAR AND OBSERVED THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE WHEEL WAS ASKEW AND NOT MOUNTED ONTO THE CAR. THE BALL JOINT WAS BROKEN TOTALLY APART. THE AXLE WAS BROKEN, I HAD NOT HIT ANYTHING IN THE ROAD. THE ROADWAY WAS CLEAR. THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE BALL JOINT AND AXLE HAD BROKEN APART. THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO A GARAGE. THE FORD GARAGE SAID THERE WAS NO MANUFACTURER RECALL ON THE BALL JOINT. THIS EVENT COULD HAVE RESULTED IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. I FEEL FORTUNATE TO BE UNINJURED BUT I WANT THIS EVENT NOTED BECAUSE I HAVE SEEN THAT YOU INVESTIGATED THE FORD EDGE 2007 FOR THIS FAILURE IN 2009. PLEASE REOPEN THIS INVESTIGATION *TR

TRANSMISSION SPORADICALLY SHIFTS HARD AND CHUGS. AS YET THERE ARE NO WARNING INDICATIONS ON DASH OR COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER BUT THIS SEEMS TO BE A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH MANY FORD EDGE OWNERS. BECAUSE PROBLEM IS SPORADIC THERE ARE PROBLEMS WITH DIAGNOSIS AND OF COURSE FORD DOESN'T ADMIT THAT THERE IS ANYTHING WRONG. THIS COULD BE A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SAFETY CONCERN IF THE VEHICLE WERE TO MALFUNCTION UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS. THERE IS SOME BELIEF THAT THE PROBLEM IS CAUSED BY SENSORS OR SOLENOIDS ON THE TRANSMISSION BUT AGAIN THE PROBLEM IS VERY HARD TO DIAGNOSE. NO RECALLS AT THIS TIME BUT THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN AROUND FOR A LONG TIME. AND AS USUAL THE FORD CUSTOMER CARE REPS SAY THEY FEEL YOUR PAIN BUT ARE NOT WILLING TO HELP. *TR

PICKED MY VEHICLE UP AND STILL HAD THE SAME ISSUES, CONSTANT JERKING, ENGINE LIGHT STILL ON, AND STILL NOT WANTING TO ACCELERATE. TOOK VEHICLE BACK THE FOLLOWING DAY, SHOP STATED THE PCM WAS BAD AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I THEN CONTACTED A LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP, WHO CLAIMED THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF THIS ISSUE, AND I WOULD NEED TO PAY FOR THEM TO RUN THEIR OWN DIAGNOSTICS ON IT, EVEN THOUGH I WAS WELL AWARE OF WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT.

2007 FORD EDGE. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED ON JUNE 25, 2014, THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER TO DIAGNOSE AN ISSUE THAT HAD OCCURRED ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION. IT WAS DETERMINED BY THE DEALER, THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONSUMER STATED THE FIRST TIME SHE NOTICED A PROBLEM, OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING IN HEAVY STOP-AND-GO-TRAFFIC IN THE CENTER LANE. ALL OF A SUDDEN, THE RPM'S DROPPED TO ZERO AND THE VEHICLE ABRUPTLY STOPPED. SHE PLACED THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND LUCKILY IT STARTED. IT RAN A BIT SLUGGISHLY FOR A FEW MILES AND THEN RESUMED TO NORMAL OPERATION. THE CONSUMER STATED THE INCIDENT HAPPENED A SECOND TIME. *JB

DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY, SPEEDOMETER DROPS TO ZERO THEN DASH LIGHTS ALL COME ON. GET OFF HIGHWAY PULL OVER AND CAR DOES NOT MOVE. WAIT ABOUT 20 MINUTES, PUT CAR IN D, HEAR LOUD BANG, CAR LUNGES FORWARD A LITTLE THEN DRIVES NORMALLY. SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED WAS ON HIGHWAY AT @60MPH WHEN SAME THING HAPPENS, GET OFF HIGHWAY AND STOP AT 2ND RED LIGHT WHEN THE CAR DOES NOT MOVE AT ALL. LET CAR SIT FOR @10 MIN. THEN IT STARTS GOING @10MPH, AFTER ABOUT 1 MILE RESUMES NORMAL OPERATION. HAVE BROUGHT TO LOCAL FORD DEALER AND HAD 2 SENSORS REPLACED ALONG WITH A TRANSMISSION FLUID EXCHANGE BUT NOW TODAY IT HAPPENED AGAIN WHEN I STOPPED AT BUSY BACK ROAD INTERSECTION THEN TRIED TO RESUME SPEED THE VEH. WOULD NOT MOVE. E-MAILED LOCAL FORD DEALER TO LET THEM KNOW THAT ISSUE WAS HAPPENING ONCE AGAIN AFTER SENSORS WERE REPLACED. PRIOR TO FORD ALSO HAD SEARS LOOK AT VEH. WHERE THEY DETERMINED IT WAS A SENSOR BUT COULD NOT DETERMINE WHICH ONE. NOW THAT THE VEHICLE IS BACK TO ME IT ALSO SEEMS TO HAVE ALOT OF HESITATION ON WANTING TO GO. THIS VEHICLE HAS NEVER SEEMED TO BE THE BEST TRANSMISSION AND I HAVE A BIG CONCERN ABOUT HOW MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE SIMILAR ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE. I WONDER WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO SOMEBODY WHO KEEPS DRIVING IT WITHOUT GETTING OFF THE ROAD? I AM CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY, MYSELF, OTHERS WHO OWN THIS VEHICLE, AND OTHERS ON THE ROADWAY AROUND THESE VEHICLES WHEN THERE IS A PROBLEM. THE POSTS I KEEP SEEING ALL REFLECT THE SAME ISSUE AND ALL TOO OFTEN THEY ARE TOLD THAT THEY CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE, WILL IT TAKE A MAJOR ACCIDENT OR DEATH FOR THIS CONCERN TO BE ADDRESSED? A VEHICLE SHOULD NOT KEEP STOPPING OR PRODUCING LOUD BANGS AFTER IT STOPS MOVING AND I THINK THERE APPEARS TO BE ENOUGH EVIDENCE FROM ENOUGH PEOPLE WHO HAVE VOICED THEIR ISSUES WITH THIS PROBLEM TO WARRANT IMMEDIATE ACTION ON THIS MATTER.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2007 FORD EDGE WITH 3 CHILDREN IN IT WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN I LOST THE ABILITY TO NOT ONLY ACCELERATE BUT MY SPEED SUDDENLY FELL FROM 45 MILES AN HOUR TO 15 MILES AN HOUR WITHOUT ANY ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. MY CAR WAS IN A CONSTANT STATE OF SHAKING AND SPUTTERING AND INCREASED WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES. THERE WAS SOMETHING SIGNIFICANTLY WRONG AND IT WAS PRETTY SCARY TO EXPERIENCE PARTICULARLY WITH 3 SMALL CHILDREN. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO MY AUTOMOTIVE SERVICE COMPANY WHERE THE CAR'S SOFTWARE SYSTEM DISPLAYED CODES INDICATING TWO IGNITION CODES FAILED. SUBSEQUENTLY, THE SERVICE PROVIDER REPLACED ALL THE SPARK PLUGS AND TWO COILS. THE CAR WAS NOT FIXED AND IT WAS FURTHER DETERMINED THAT THE PCM BOARD IS SENDING EXTREMELY HIGH CURRENT TO THE IGNITION COILS AND COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ENGINE FIRE. THIS IS VERY DISTRESSING. FORD HAS ISSUED AN INTERNAL TSB ACKNOWLEDGING THIS ISSUE BUT HAS NOT ENACTED A RECALL. THE ESTIMATED COST TO REPLACE THE PCM, SPARK PLUGS AND COILS (6) IS APPROXIMATELY $3,000. ADDITIONALLY IN MY RESEARCH THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT THAT HAS BEEN FILED BY A GROUP OF FORD OWNERS. *TR

PAID APPROXIMATELY $800 TO REPAIR. IN MAY 2014 SAME SMELL AGAIN, TOOK BACK TO THE DEALER WHO DID THE LAST REPAIR (6-27-14), PTU AGAIN, EXCEPT THIS TIME IT NEEDED SEALS PLUS A NEW PTU OVER $1,400 TO REPAIR. THE SMELL COMES FROM THE FLUID DRIPPING ONTO THE EXHAUST, NOT SURE HOW TOXIC OR FLAMMABLE IT IS BUT I KNOW IT CAN'T BE GOOD FOR YOU. THIS IS NOT CAUSED BY MISS USE OF THE CAR OR LACK OF MAINTENANCE.

MY VEHICLE ALL OF A SUDDEN STARTED TO SLOW DOWN SUDDENLY LIKE I HAD TAKEN MY FOOT OFF THE GAS. IT STARTED SHUDDERING AND MY TRANSMISSION LIGHT CAME ON. I THOUGHT IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION SO I HAD IT TOWED TO THE SHOP. AFTER DIAGNOSIS, IT SHOWED MY CYLINDERS WERE MISFIRING. IT WAS DUE TO A BAD COIL WHICH WAS CAUSING THE SPARK PLUGS TO READ AT AN EXTREMELY HIGH VOLTAGE. THEY NEEDED TO REPLACE ALL COILS AND ALL SPARK PLUGS. THEN FOUND OUT THAT IT FRIED MY PCM(COMPUTER) WHICH ALSO HAD TO BE REPLACED. COME TO FIND OUT, THIS IS A KNOW ISSUE WITH THE 2007 FORD EDGE AND THERE IS A TSB ON IT FOR THIS EXACT SITUATION. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT THE PCM HAD A MALFUNCTION WHICH CAUSED THE COILS/SPARK PLUGS TO GO BAD. THEY ALSO SAID THE PCM HAS A MANUFACTURER 8 YEAR/80,000 MILE WARRANTY. WELL I WAS AT 7 YEARS/83000 MILES AND WHEN THEY SUBMITTED THE WARRANTY CLAIM, FORD DENIED IT FORCING ME TO PAY $2400 FOR THE REPAIRS. I THINK THIS IS RIDICULOUS TO DENY A KNOWN MALFUNCTION FOR ONLY 3000 MILES OVER. WHAT IF I HAD BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY CAME TO A STOP? I HAD MY SON WITH ME THAT DAY AND THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT, POSSIBLY INVOLVING OTHER DRIVERS, AND WE MAY HAVE EVEN BEEN INJURED.

WE WERE FORTUNATE TO MAKE IT HOME AND TOOK IT TO OUR MECHANIC.

I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING VERY ODD UNEXPLAINABLE EVENTS WITH MY 2007 FORD EDGE SINCE FALL OF 2012 WHICH HAS NOW RESULTED IN FULL FAILURE OF MY TRANSMISSION. BEGINNING IN THE FALL, MY EDGE STARTED TO GIVE ME WARNING MESSAGES ON MY ELECTRONIC DASH PANEL READING "TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR FAULT", ONCE PUT IN REVERSE, THE CAR WOULD MAKE A VIOLENT JERKING MOTION AND LOUD UGLY SOUND. THE MESSAGE ON THE DASH WOULD THEN CHANGE TO READ "ODB DATA ERROR". THE WRENCH AND AIRBAG ICONS WOULD BE LIT. AFTER SHIFTING TO DRIVE, THE CAR SOUNDED AS IF IT WAS IN HIGH GEAR, BUT IT WOULD REFUSE TO ACCELERATE TO A FAST SPEED. ONCE DRIVING, THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD NOT REGISTER SPEED, IT WOULD SIT AT 0 MPH. THE DIGITAL ODOMETER FAILED TO DISPLAY ANYTHING. AS I DROVE, THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT OR IT WOULD SEEM TO TRY TO SHIFT AND THEN THE CAR WOULD MAKE THE SAME VIOLENT JERKING MOTION AS I EXPERIENCED WHEN I PUT IT IN REVERSE. IF I STOPPED, IT WOULD BE DIFFICULT TO GET THE CAR MOVING, IT WOULDN'T WANT TO MOVE/ACCELERATE. THE CAR WOULD ALSO MAKE UNEXPECTED LUNGING MOVEMENTS WHILE DRIVING. THE CAR WOULD ALSO ON OCCASION SUDDENLY STOP ACCELERATING WHILE DRIVING, ALMOST AS IF IT HAD AUTOMATICALLY SHIFTED INTO LOW GEAR. THIS HAPPENED TO ME SEVERAL TIMES WHILE DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY. NOT SAFE! ON MONDAY, JUNE 17, 2013, MY TRANSMISSION FAILED COMPLETELY. UNACCEPTABLE FOR A CAR MY AGE! AS I HAVE BEGUN TO INVESTIGATE THIS PROBLEM ON THE WEB, TO MY SURPRISE, THIS PROBLEM IS EXTENSIVE. FORD OWNERS HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS FOR YEARS, YET FORD HAS FAILED TO RECOGNIZE THIS PROBLEM WITH A RECALL. HELP! THIS PROBLEM IS COSTLY AND POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS!!! *TR

I HAD PULLED INTO MY DRIVEWAY, TURNED OFF MY CAR, GRABBED SOMETHING FROM MY HOUSE AND THEN TURNED MY CAR BACK ON. I PUT MY CAR INTO REVERSE AND THEN PUT IT IN DRIVE. MY CAR ACTED LIKE IT WAS IN NEUTRAL AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND THE ENGINE REVVED. I DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT UNTIL IT HAPPENED AGAIN ABOUT 3-4 WEEKS LATER AFTER I HAD JUST PUMPED GAS INTO MY CAR. I THEN TOOK IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE I PAID $100 FOR THEM TO TELL ME THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND DID NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION OR COMPUTER SYSTEM. THEY SAID 'MAYBE IT WAS A COMPUTER GLITCH'. SINCE THEN IT HAS HAPPENED 6 MORE TIME, ONE OF WHICH WAS ON A BUSY STREET WHICH ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. MY POWER TRAIN WARRANTY WILL END IN SEPTEMBER AND I NEED TO HAVE THIS ISSUE RESOLVED BEFORE IN ORDER FOR IT TO BE FULLY COVERED. I HAVE READ MULTIPLE REPORTS ON NHTSA OF THIS SAME ISSUE. HOW CAN WE RESOLVE THIS?? *TR

MY 2007 FORD EDGE HAD BEEN HAVING WHAT PEOPLE REFER TO AS A SLIPPED TRANSMISSION. AT FIRST IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE, AND IT WOULD ONLY GO IN REVERSE NOT FORWARD. I TURNED IT OFF AND ON TWICE AND THEN IT SEEMED TO OPERATE NORMALLY. I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY AND I WAS FIRST TOLD THERE WAS NO ISSUE, THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN, THIS TIME IT WOULD ALSO DO A VIOLENT JERK AS IF I'D BEEN REAR-ENDED. THE SERVICE DEPT REPLACED THE COMPUTER CHIP (NOT SURE WHICH ONE BUT SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE TRANSMISSION). A COUPLE OF WEEKS LATER IT AGAIN FAILED TO ACCELERATE BUT THIS TIME IT WOULD NOT RESTART WITHOUT A LOUD GRINDING NOISE. AFTER TOWING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, THE TRANSMISSION WAS COMPLETELY REPLACED. HOWEVER IT HAS SINCE STARTED DOING THE EXACT SAME THING, BUMPING AS IF THE CAR HAD BEEN REAR-ENDED AS THE CAR IS IN MOTION, IN VARIOUS CIRCUMSTANCES. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE ON DIFFERENT FORUMS. PLEASE SEE HTTP://WWW.FORDFORUM.COM/FORUM/FORD-EDGE-73/EDGE-TRANSMISSION-PROBLEMS-7525/ AND HTTP://WWW.MYFORDEDGE.COM/FORUMS/VIEWTOPIC.PHP?F=6&T=553 I HAVE ALREADY FILED A COMPLAINT WITH FORD CUSTOMER RELATIONS BUT THEY GAVE THE IMPRESSION THAT I WAS THE ONLY PERSON WITH THIS PROBLEM, FURTHER MY COMPLAINT WOULD BE SENT TO FORD MARKETING BUT NOT ENGINEERING, WHICH I FIND COUNTERINTUITIVE. THE ABOVE FORUMS ARE FILLED WITH FORD EDGE OWNERS WHO ALSO FEEL UNSAFE IN THIS VEHICLE. I HOPE IF ENOUGH OF US REGISTER OUR COMPLAINTS AN INVESTIGATION WILL BE INITIATED BEFORE THERE ARE SERIOUS INJURIES AS A RESULT OF THIS FAULTY CAR. *TR

THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME AND I COULD NOT ACCELERATE. I CALLED A DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS POSSIBLY A PROBLEM WITH TRANSMISSION AND THAT I SHOULD TURN THE CAR OFF AND TURN IT ON AGAIN WHICH I DID. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY REPLACED A SENSOR IT APPROXIMATELY, 1 YEAR AFTER THIS INCIDENCE, THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING AROUND 55-60 MPH. I STOPPED AT A LIGHT AND COULD NOT ACCELERATE. OTHER CARS WERE BEARING DOWN ON ME AS THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN. FINALLY GOT THE CAR TO MOVE AND DROVE IT HOME, BUT EVERY LIGHT I GOT TO IT WAS HARDER TO ACCELERATE. FINALLY REACHED HOME, AND PUT IT IN REVERSE, IT FELT LIKE I HAD BEEN REAR ENDED BY A TRUCK. SO NEEDLESS TO SAY, FORD ONLY AUTHORIZED THE DEALER TO REPLACE THE SAME SENSOR. I WILL PICK UP MY CAR TODAY, THEY REPLACED THE SAME SENSOR WITH A GUARANTEE THAT IT WILL LAST FOR 12 MONTHS OR 12, 000 MILES. I FEAR FOR MY SAFETY AND MY FAMILY WHILE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. *TR

IF I ACCELERATE MORE THAN 15 MPH THE CAR WOULD WHAT I CALL "SLAM" INTO THE NEXT GEAR. WHEN I AM ACCELERATING ONTO THE HIGHWAY OR ACCELERATE AND THEN BACK OFF THE GAS AND GO AGAIN OR IF I ACCELERATE INTO THE PASSING LANE THE CAR DOESN'T DRIVE. I HAVE HAD THE CAR TO BETHLEHEM FORD, KELLY FORD IN EMMAUS AND GILBOY FORD IN WHITEHALL FOR THE PROBLEM TWO TIMES AT EACH LOCATION. NO ONE CAN FIND OUT WHAT IS WRONG. CONTACTED FORD DIRECTLY AND THEY SAY TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR, I TOLD THEM I DID NUMEROUS TIMES AND THEY TOLD ME THIS."THE CAR LEARNS HOW YOU DRIVE, SO WHEN YOU DRIVE OUT OF CHARACTER THE CAR BASICALLY REACTS BY TELLING YOU NOW WAIT A MINUTE I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING AND THE CAR REACTS IN A CONFUSED MANNER". THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT BECAUSE I'M NOT AN AGGRESSIVE DRIVER THAT WHEN I DO DRIVE AGGRESSIVE "THE CAR DOESN'T UNDERSTAND". I DRIVE HIGHWAY EVERY DAY TO AND FROM WORK, I HAVE TO BE AGGRESSIVE MOST OF THE TIME TO SURVIVE ON THE HIGHWAY AND KEEP UP WITH TRAFFIC. I HAVE ASKED THE DEALERSHIP TO COME DOWN THE BLOCK SO I CAN SHOW THEM WHAT THE CAR DOES SINCE IT DOES IT EVERY DAY WHEN I LEAVE WORK BUT THEY TELL ME THEY CAN'T BECAUSE IT IS A LIABILITY ISSUE FOR THEM TO DRIVE IN THE CAR WITH ME. THEY HAVE HAD THE CAR AND CAN'T MAKE IT REPEAT THE SITUATION; I HAVE GONE ON TEST RIDES WITH A MECHANIC AND CAN'T MAKE IT REPEAT THE PROBLEM. I WAS TAKING ONE OF OUR EMPLOYEES TO GO PICK UP ONE OF THE COMPANY VEHICLES AT GILBOY AND I SAID DO YOU WANT ME TO SHOW YOU WHAT MY CAR DOES AND HE SAID YES. SO I MADE THE CAR DO THE SLAMMING INTO GEAR AND HE SAID THAT ISN'T RIGHT HE TRIED TO FIGHT FOR ME AT GILBOY BUT THEY SAID AGAIN NO CODE AND THEY COULDN'T REPEAT THE SITUATION. NOW MY CAR IS ALMOST OUT OF WARRANTY AND STILL NO FIX. I DON'T HAVE MONEY TO MAKE MAJOR REPAIRS TO A CAR THAT IS WHY I BOUGHT NEW AND I DON'T HAVE MONEY TO BUY A NEW CAR. *TR

MOST OF THE TIMES ITS AFTER HOURS OR WHILE I AM IN ROUTE IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION OR GOING SOMEWHERE. MOST PEOPLE JUST DON'T CRUISE AROUND DURING THE WEEK.

FIRST WHEN I SPOKE TO THE GUY COUPLE DAYS AGO HE COULDN'T EVEN PULL IT UP ON HIS SYSTEM THEN HE SAID THE TECH ADAMANTLY DENIED THIS WAS THE PROBLEM.

I TOOK MY FORD EDGE IN FOR THE FIRST TIME IN JANUARY 2012 WITH THESE ISSUES: WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE IT WOULD SHIFT EXTREMELY HARD, IT FELT AS IF MY CAR HAD BEEN REAR ENDED, NUMEROUS TIMES THE WRENCH LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND THE VEHICLE WOULD BECOME SLUGGISH, WHEN I PRESSED ON THE GAS THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE FORWARD. THERE WAS ALSO A HIGH PITCHED WHINE WHEN THE CAR WAS IN REVERSE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM, AFTER RESEARCHING MYSELF ON THE INTERNET I TOLD THEM ABOUT THE MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS I READ ON THE EDGE TRANSMISSION AND TO CHECK THE TURBINE SHAFT SPEED SENSOR. THEY THEN REPLACED IT AT NO CHARGE BECAUSE I WAS STILL UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY. FOR 8 MONTHS I WENT WITHOUT INCIDENT UNTIL SEPTEMBER 2012, SAME PROBLEM ONLY WORSE, I MANAGED TO INCH MY WAY OFF THE HIGHWAY. WHEN IN DRIVE AND PRESSING ON THE GAS THE CAR WOULD HARDLY MOVE, WHEN SHIFTING INTO PARK/DRIVE THE TRANSMISSION WOULD MAKE A HORRENDOUS CLUNKING SOUND. SO HERE I AM BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP NO LONGER UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY AND HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM THEY SUPPOSEDLY FIXED. I AM FORTUNATE I WAS NOT REAR ENDED WHEN MY CAR CAME TO A HALT IN TRAFFIC AND I AM GRATEFUL I WAS ABLE TO GET TO SAFETY. I AM FURIOUS TO READ PAGE AFTER PAGE OF COMPLAINTS ON THE VERY TOPIC AND YET FORD LOOKS AT ME LIKE THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS PLAGUING THEIR CUSTOMERS!

MY 2007 FORD EDGE, BEGAN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION NOVEMBER 2011. WHILE DRIVING, PULLING ONTO VERY BUSY HIGHWAY, EDGE SLIPPED INTO NEUTRAL. NUMEROUS VEHICLES HAD TO SUDDENLY STOP TO PREVENT FROM CRASHING INTO ME. NEEDLESS TO SAY I WAS EXTREMELY UPSET, BUT ALSO VERY THANKFUL NO ONE WAS INJURED. NOW THE PROBLEM BEGINS. NOTIFIED CHAPMAN FORD ABOUT THIS PROBLEM WAS TOLD TO BRING IN EDGE. EXPLAINED TO SERVICE EDGE SLIPPED INTO NEUTRAL, ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON ALONG WITH WRENCH LIGHT. AFTER PULLING OFF TO SIDE OF ROAD STILL COULD NOT GET CAR TO MOVE. I THEN TURNED CAR OFF FOR A MINUTE OR SO, STARTED UP THE CAR AND IT WAS FINE. AFTER A FEW DAYS I RECEIVED A CALL TELLING ME IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY AND WOULD COST 674.00 DOLLARS SINCE THIS WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. SO, THROTTLE BODY WAS REPLACED. NOW MY EDGE BEGAN HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM 1 MONTH AGO, WAS TOLD NOW IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION! PROBLEM IS WARRANTY EXPIRED 1 MONTH AGO. TIRED TO EXPLAIN HAD THE PROBLEM BEEN CORRECTED THE FIRST TIME, TRANSMISSION WOULD HAVE STILL BEEN UNDER WARRANTY. SPOKE WITH NUMEROUS PEOPLE INCLUDING FORD, TO BE TOLD THE SAME THING "WE CAN'T HELP SORRY YOUR WARRANTY EXPIRED". I AM NOW DRIVING MY EDGE WITH FEAR THIS CAN HAPPEN AT ANY TIME. IT GIVES NO WARNING WHAT SO EVER, BY THE WAY MY EDGE ONLY HAS 28,000 MILES AND IS VERY WELL MAINTAINED. I HAVE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, AND FORD DOES NOT SEEN TO WANT TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM. HOPEFULLY, NO ONE WILL GET SERIOUSLY HURT AND FORD WILL STAND BY THERE EDGE!

I HAVE A 2007 FORD EDGE. I HAVE HAD BRAKE PROBLEMS EVER SINCE I BOUGHT IT. BY BRAKE PROBLEMS, I MEAN THEY SOMETIMES GRIND AND SOMETIMES FEEL LIKE I CAN'T STOP AS WELL AS I SHOULD BE ABLE TO. I HAD THEM CHECKED SEVERAL TIMES AND WAS TOLD THEY WERE FINE. I FINALLY HAD THEM REPLACED BUT THEY STILL GRIND AT TIMES. I'VE LEARNED TO DEAL WITH THIS PROBLEM. I'VE ALSO EXPERIENCED A LOUD ROARING NOISE. I'M NOT SURE WHAT THIS IS BUT I'VE ALSO LEARNED TO DEAL WITH IT AS WELL. EVERYTIME SOMEONE RIDES WITH ME THEY ASK WHAT THE NOISE IS AND TELL ME IT SOUNDS LIKE MY CAR HAS NOT SHIFTED INTO THE RIGHT GEAR. THE MAJOR PROBLEM I HAVE DEALT WITH IS THE JERKING TRANSMISSION. IT STARTED THIS ABOUT A YEAR AFTER BUYING IT. IT STARTED DOING IT A FEW TIMES HERE AND THERE UNTIL IT GOT TO WHERE IT DID IT ALL THE TIME. I HAD MENTIONED IT WHEN I TOOK MY CAR TO GET THE OIL CHANGED BUT THEY ALWAYS TOLD ME THEY DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I FINALLY TOLD THEM THEY HAD TO DO SOMETHING. THEY KEPT IT FOR A FEW DAYS AND FINALLY CALLED AND SAID THE VALVE BODY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. LUCKILY IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THEY REPLACED IT AND IT WAS FINE UP UNTIL SEVERAL MONTHS AGO. IT STARTED THE JERKING ALL OVER AGAIN. IT STARTED OUT SLOW BUT NOW DOES IT ALL THE TIME. I CAN'T AFFORD TO HAVE IT FIXED AGAIN AS IT'S NOT UNDER WARRANTY ANY LONGER. IT'S STILL ONLY 4 YEARS OLD AND SHOULD NOT BE HAVING ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS. I AM REALLY SURPRISED THERE HAVE BEEN NO RECALLS AS I'VE READ OF OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. I AM VERY UPSET AS I STILL OWE ON THIS VEHICLE BUT REALLY WISH I COULD GET RID OF IT.

I HAVE A 2007 FORD EDGE AWD. AROUND 15,000 MILES, IT BEGAN TO HAVE A "BURNED RUBBER" SMELL WAFT INTO THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT WHENEVER I CAME TO A STOP AFTER DRIVING FOR AWHILE. SOMETIMES I COULD SEE SMOKE SIFT UP THROUGH THE HOOD NEAR THE WINDSHIELD. THE DEALER FOUND THE PTU VALVE (POWER TRANSFER UNIT) TO BE LEAKING, AND I THINK THEY CHANGED IT. IT WORKED FOR AWHILE, BUT WITHIN 4 MONTHS, IT BEGAN TO SMELL AGAIN. IT WAS NOT TOO BAD BECAUSE IT WAS SPRING AND SUMMER AND THE PROBLEM IS ONLY REALLY BAD DURING THE WINTER WHEN THE HEATER IS ON. IT'S NOW OCTOBER 2009, AND I'M USING THE HEATER AGAIN. THE SMELL WAS BAD, SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AGAIN. THEY SAID GREASE WAS PACKED INTO THE VALVE, AND THE GREASE HAD OVERFLOWED. THEY DID NOT REPLACE THE PTU VALVE. THEY ONLY STEAM CLEANED MY CAR. IT STILL SMELLS, ALTHOUGH NOT AS BAD. I HAVE 35,000 MILES ON THE CAR AND I'VE OWNED IT FOR 1.5 YEARS BRAND NEW. THE INTERNET HAS REVEALED THAT MANY FORDEDGE OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME THING, BUT FORD CAN'T SEEM TO FIX IT. IT IS ONLY ON AWD MODELS BECAUSE THE FLUID THAT IS LEAKING INVOLVES THE TRANSFER OF POWER TO THE BACK TIRES. THERE IS A WEBSITE DEDICATED SOLELY TO THIS PROBLEM: STINKINEDGE.COM PLEASE HELP US CONVINCE FORD THIS IS A DEFECT INVOLVING A NOXIOUS SMELL AND POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS CHEMICAL EXPOSURE. IT IS ALSO ANNOYING AND UNCOMFORTABLE. THERE SEEMS TO BE NO FIX. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN DRIVING UP AN INCLINE THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN MAKING A TICKING SOUND. TRANSMISSION FAILURE WHILE DRIVING INCREASED THE RISK OF A CRASH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND A TECHNICIAN CONCLUDED THAT THE PTU SEAL WAS LEAKING, WHICH CAN CAUSE TRANSMISSION FAILURE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 49,533 AND THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 48,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A LEAK IN THE VEHICLE AND ALL OF THE TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAKED OUT. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE OIL SEAL ON THE TRANSMISSION. A FEW DAYS LATER, HE SMELLED TRANSMISSION FLUID BURNING. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE SEAL ONCE AGAIN; HOWEVER, THE BURNING ODOR IS STILL PRESENT. HE BELIEVES THAT THIS IS A HEALTH HAZARD AND THAT A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 34,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 47,000.

WHEN I AM ON AN INCLINE AND I TAKE MY FOOT OFF OF THE GAS MY CAR WILL ROLL BACKWARDS. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO BE FIXED BECAUSE I HEARD THERE WAS A TSA FOR IT. THEY SAID IT WAS NORMAL TO ROLL BACKWARDS AND THAT I NEEDED TO KEEP MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. I HAVE ALMOST HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE BECAUSE OF IT ROLLING BACKWARDS. THIS SHOULD NOT BE DOING THIS IN AN AUTOMATIC. *TR

MY 2007 FORD EDGE IS NOW IN THE PROCESS OF HAVING A TRANSMISSION LEAK REPAIRED DUE TO FAULTY AXLE SEALS (SO I'M TOLD) FOR THE FOURTH TIME IN 18 MONTHS. I WAS INFORMED BY A SERVICE MANAGER THAT MY EDGE IS NOT THE FIRST HE HAS SEEN TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM. ALSO FORD HAS STOPPED SHIPPING REPLACEMENT SEALS BECAUSE THEY ARE NO BETTER THAN THE ORIGINALS. FORD'S STANCE SEEMS TO BE THAT THERE IS NO MAJOR PROBLEM, THE VEHICLE WAS JUST REPAIRED IN JANUARY OF THIS YEAR FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM FIRST APPEARED IN DECEMBER OF 07, I TOOK DELIVERY IN AUGUST OF 07. THE VEHICLE WAS ALSO REPAIRED IN 08 FOR THIS PROBLEM. *TR

BURNING SMELL ORIGINATING FROM FAILED SEAL (NOW ON NATIONAL BACKORDER THIS PAST YEAR) IN PTU ASSEMBLY ON MOST FORD EDGE AND MERCURY MKX MODELS. I'VE HAD MY VEHICLE IN THE SHOP 3 TIMES OVER THE PAST YEAR AND THEY DO NOT HAVE REPLACEMENT PTU ASSEMBLIES IN STOCK AS THE COMPANY WHO MADE THEM ARE NOW OUT OF BUSINESS. TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAKS FROM PTU ASSEMBLY ONTO EXHAUST, INTO VENTS AND INTO OUR LUNGS. VEHICLE IS STILL IN THE SERVICE AREA AT MIDWAY FORD IN ROSEVILLE, MN. THEY SAY I CAN DRIVE IT UNTIL THEY FIND A PART, HOWEVER IT IS WINTER AND THAT IS NOT AN OPTION AS THE WINDOWS MUST REMAIN OPEN.

POWER TRANSFER UNIT LEAKING ONTO EXHAUST CAUSING A BURNING RUBBER SMELL INTO THE CABIN WHEN STOPPED. OCCURS AFTER DRIVING VEHICLE FOR 10-15MIN.

MY 2007 FORD EDGE ALL WHEEL DRIVE HAS A LEAKING PROBLEM FROM THE TRANSFER CASE. IT HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM SINCE THE DAY IT WAS NEW. SEVERAL VISITS TO THE DEALER I WAS TOLD IT IS NOT LEAKING ALTHOUGH THERE WAS ALWAYS OIL ON MY DRIVE. I OWN AN AUTO REPAIR SHOP SO I HAD IT IN THE SHOP AND KNEW WITHOUT A DOUBT IT WAS LEAKING. WHAT MAKES IT DANGEROUS IS THE LEAK DRIPS DIRECTLY ON THE EXHAUST PIPE WHICH IS RIGHT BELOW THE TRANSFER CASE. YOU CAN SMELL BURNING OIL AND IT SMOKES A LOT OF TIMES WHEN STOPPING AT STOP SIGNS. THE DEALER HAS WENT AS FAR AS REPLACING THE TRANSFER CASE. THAT FIXED THE PROBLEM FOR A FEW MONTHS BUT THE LEAK ALWAYS COMES BACK. I HAVE RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM AND ON FORDEDGEFORUM.COM HAVE FOUND MANY OWNERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I AM AFRAID FORD IS NOT ABLE TO FIND A PERMANENT FIX FOR THE PROBLEM AND SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET BURNED. I HAVE READ OF THESE VEHICLES CATCHING ON FIRE BUT HAVE NOT HEARD THE CAUSE. THIS LEAK COULD BE CAUSING IT. IN MY OWN REPAIR SHOP I HAVE NOTICED CUSTOMER VEHICLES HAVE THE SAME LEAK AS MINE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT IT. THIS AFFECTS THE 2007 AND 2008 FORD EDGE AND LINCOLN MKX MODELS THAT ARE ALL WHEEL DRIVE AND HAVE A TRANSFER CASE OR "PTU UNIT." *TR

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WILL NOT HOLD VEHICLE IN PLACE ON EVEN SLIGHT INCLINE. I.E. VEHICLE IN DRIVE FACING UPHILL WHEN STOPPED AND BRAKE RELEASED VEHICLE WILL ROLL BACKWARD DOWN HILL. VEHICLE FACING DOWNHILL WITH TRANSMISSION IN REVERSE WILL ROLL FORWARD WHEN BRAKE IS RELEASED. *TR

WHEN THE EDGE IS IN DRIVE AND STOPPED ON AN INCLINE IT WILL ROLL BACKWARD WHEN YOU RELEASE THE BRAKE. IT DOESN'T JUST ROLL BACK A LITTLE....IT WILL CONTINUE TO ROLL BACK UNTIL YOU GIVE IT SOME GAS OR STEP ON THE BRAKE. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I ALMOST ROLLED BACK INTO THE CAR BEHIND ME. I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS ROLLBACK IN AN AUTOMATIC VEHICLE. I READ ON THE INTERNET THAT THERE WAS A TSB FOR THIS AND TOOK MY EDGE IN TO HAVE IT "REFLASHED" (AS RECOMMENDED ON A FORD EDGE FORUM) BUT WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THERE WAS NO FIX (AND NO SUCH TSB) FOR IT AND THAT THIS IS NORMAL. I FEEL IT IS A DANGER AND SHOULD BE CORRECTED OR AT THE VERY LEAST MENTIONED IN THE OWNERS MANUAL. *TR

FORD IN TEXAS. DEALERSHIP CLAIMS THEY CAN NOT DUPLICATE CONCERNS AND WILL NOT GIVE ANY TYPE OF DOCUMENT THAT I BOUGHT EDGE IN FOR CONCERNS UNLESS THEY ARE ABLE TO DUPLICATE 1ST. I FEEL I WAS SOLD A LEMON AND FORD DOES NOT WANT TO DO WARRANTY WORK. . ONE ISSUE MY EDGE WILL ROLL BACK WHILE DRIVING ON AN INCLINE SIMILAR TO ONE OF A DRIVE WAY UNLESS YOU KEEP YOUR FOOT ON THE BRAKE OR APPLY ENOUGH GAS TO PREVENT CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. *TR

2007 FORD EDGE WITH SEVERAL PROBLEMS. CONSUMER STATES THAT THE VEHICLE IS A LEMON. HERE ARE SOME OF THE CAR'S PROBLEMS REAR BRAKE LIGHTS FILL WITH WATER WHEN IT RAINS. SEAT BROKE, SCREW STICKS UP AND CUT A CHILD'S FOOT, BRAKES FAILED AND MORE. *KB THE PIN IN THE GEAR SHIFT DID NOT ENGAGE PROPERLY, LEAVING THE CONSUMER UNABLE TO PLACE THE VEHICLE IN PARK. THE SUN ROOF MATERIAL CAME APART AND FELL DOWN ONTO THE CONSUMERS HEAD WHILE DRIVING. *JB

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD EDGE. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED, THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS AT THE DEALER FOR THREE WEEKS TO REPAIR THE SEAT. THE BOLTS IN THE SEAT WERE VISIBLE AND INJURED ONE OF THE PASSENGERS. THE DEALER REPLACED THE SCREWS AND COVERED THEM WITH A RUBBER SEAL; HOWEVER, THEY CONTINUE TO FALL OFF AND EXPOSE THE SCREWS. AT 150 MILES, THE LINING IN THE MOONROOF FELL OFF OF THE VEHICLE AND WAS REPLACED BY THE DEALER. SIX MONTHS LATER, WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD A LOUD GRINDING SOUND WHEN HE DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE BRAKES WERE CORRODED. THE BRAKES WERE REPLACED AND THE ROTORS WERE CLEANED. THE FRONT AND REAR WINDOWS DO NOT GRIP OR SEAL PROPERLY WHEN THEY ARE ROLLED UP OR DOWN. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THE WINDOW FAILURE ON FOUR OCCASIONS AND EVENTUALLY STATED THAT THEY HAD TO CHANGE THE PAPER ON THE ROLLERS. THE TWO REAR EXTERIOR LIGHTS CONTINUE TO FILL UP WITH WATER. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THE FAILURE ON THREE OCCASIONS AND REPLACED THE TAIL LIGHTS; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THERE SEEMS TO BE A DESIGN FAILURE. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, THE GEAR SHIFT FAILED TO ENGAGE IN PARK, DRIVE, AND REVERSE. A PASSENGER HAD TO STOP TRAFFIC SINCE THE GEAR SHIFT WAS LOCKED IN REVERSE. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON FEBRUARY 20, 2008; HOWEVER, THE DEALER STATED THAT THE EARLIEST THEY COULD SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT WOULD BE ON MARCH 1, 2008. THE FAILURE OCCURS INTERMITTENTLY AND HAS BEEN IN THE REPAIR SHOP EVERY OTHER WEEK SINCE IT WAS PURCHASED. THE CONTACT IS THE ORIGINAL OWNER. THE DEALER HAS OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE IN REPLACING THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED TO ONLY HAVE THE VEHICLE SERVICED BY A DEALER THAT IS ONE OR MORE HOURS AWAY FROM HER RESIDENCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 8,000. UPDATED 3/25/08 *CN

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

I OWN A 2007 FORD EDGE, PURCHASED IN MAY 2007. THE TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO "SHUDDER" WHEN UPSHIFTING OR DOWNSHIFTING AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 35-55 MPH. IT IS APPARENT WHEN TAKING YOUR FOOT OFF THE GAS TO SLOW AND THEN APPLYING GAS TO SPEED BACK UP. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TO BE CHECKED AND WAS TOLD IT WAS PROBABLY "FLAT SPOTS" ON THE TIRES AND THE PROBLEN WOULD GO AWAY AFTER 3000 OR SO MILES TO GIVE THE TIRES AN OPPORTUNITY TO ROUND OUT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN A SECOND TIME AND TAKEN TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP FOR THEIR TRANSMISSION MECHANIC TO LOOK AT. THEY HAD THE VEHICLE FOR OVER 10 HOURS AND COULDN'T SEEM TO FIND ANYTHING WRONG OR GET THE VEHICLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM WE BROUGHT IT IN FOR. THE VEHICLE NOW HAS 5600 MILES ON IT AND THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE. I AM GOING TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALER TO HAVE IT CHECKED AGAIN. THIS TIME, I'M GOING TO DEMAND TO TAKE A DRIVE IN ANOTHER EDGE TO SEE IF IT HAS THE SAME SHIFTING PROBLEMS I AM CURRENTLY HAVING.
