2008 FORD EDGE Electrical System Problems

Purchased a duralast battery from AutoZone store #1299 in Hialeah in August 3rd and installed it. The staff was insistent that this battery was a direct replacement part for my lead acid battery. The car drove normally for approximately a month, and on the morning of September 6th started normally with no warning lights. After being driven less than a quarter mile, in slow-moving traffic, the car suddenly lost all power and large amounts of smoke came from under the hood accompanied by a burning smell. This happened in an intersection during 830 AM traffic on a weekday and I was unable to immediately exit the vehicle. This could have been a fatal incident for myself or potentially others. It was towed to a mechanic who started disassembling it to determine the damages. As per the mechanic, there is evidence of an electrical fire - the cables connected to the battery have melted and the alternator (which was TESTED AND INSTALLED BRAND NEW LESS THAN 2 YEARS AGO) are damaged. The mechanics have also stated that the fans and cooling system have been affected, but not to what extent as they are still mid-teardown. When they attempted to put a load on the battery, it began to overheat dangerously, and they state that it is the likely culprit of the fire. I attempted to return the battery to the store I had purchased it at, where the staff were verbally abusive and insisting that it was impossible for a battery to cause an electrical fire and they'd never heard of such a thing, and that perhaps my mechanic was the one who had messed up my car. They refused to aceept a return, and kept telling me the battery was good. They provided me with a area manager phone number who is avoiding all communication. Meanwhile, I am without my vehicle, which requires EXTENSIVE ELECTRICAL REPAIRS and may be a total loss. If they are selling defective batteries to clients, they are putting the public at risk, doubly so by refusing to take any sort of accountability for their product.

The locked door emblem sporadically comes on and stays on. It makes my interior lights stay on. It runs my battery down. The back passenger side door was opened by a rider and the lock all doors button had been engaged. The red light was on to show doors were not locked. This has been an ongoing issue for several months now. I have an appointment at Ford garage 09/13/22.

Problem with the computer for dash. Was worked on at Ford dealership in Lexington ky and had to borrow money with the lender that was already financing the vehicle for me for repairs. They was unable to repair it but still charged me almost 1,800.00.

The rear taillight socket melted due to excessive heat. This has happened twice to the same vehicle. Once in 05/2019. At the time, a dealer service center recommended replacing the junction box, a $700 repair. The same issue has occurred again.

WHILE DRIVING CAR MAKES SEVERE ROARING/ HUMMING NOISE. ALSO WHILE DRIVING MAKING TURNS OR NOT MAKING TURNS THE CAR JERKS UNCONTROLLABLY. MY DOOR SENSOR WILL NOT RECOGNIZE WHETHER OR NOT MY FRONT DRIVER DOOR IS CLOSED, SO WHILE I'M DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD IT SAYS MY DRIVER DOOR IS OPEN. THERE IS A RECALL THAT I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED ABOUT ON THE SUSPENSION; FRONT HUB,. I'VE CONTACTED MY LOCAL PRATER FORD & FORD MOTOR COMPANY WITH NO HELP. I HAVE THE WORK ORDER # FROM PRATER FORD WHERE WE TRIED TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM, IT IS WORK ORDER # 80025 ON MARCH 12, 2018. THEIR NUMBER IS 706-629-2883 ASK TO SPEAK TO ASHLEY P.; SERVICE PROVIDER.

I HAD THE LIFT GATE OPEN LOADING GROCERIES AND IT ALL OF A SUDDEN RELEASED AND CAME DOWN AND STRIKING MY HEAD AND NECK AND I QUICKLY PUSHED IT BACK UP AND IT JUST DROPPED DOWN AGAIN BEFORE I COULD GET MYSELF CLEAR STRIKING ME AGAIN, IT GOT MY NECK AND SHOULDER. I TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP AND WAS FIRST WAS TOLD IT WAS A PROBLEM FOR THE BODY SHOP, BUT THEY QUICKLY DETERMINED IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. THE LIFT GATE IS VERY HEAVY AND I DO HAVE TO SEE A DOCTOR FOR THE PERSISTENT PAIN IN THE NECK AND SHOULDER.

BATTERY LIGHT STAYED ON DURING A 4.5 HOUR TRIP. AFTER REACHING THE END OF THE TRIP, THE BATTERY CABLES WERE FOUND TO BE CORRODED. NOTICED THETERMINAL PROTECTOR HAS MELTED. USED DISTILLED WATER TO FILL THE ACID LEVEL IN THE BATTERY, SOME WAS SPILLED ON THE POSITIVE BATTERY CABLE CONNECTION(FROM BATTERY TO POWER OF UNDERHOOD FUSE BOX), IT SIZZLED FROM BEING HOT! AFTER FILLING THE BATTERY, THE BATT. LIGHT STAYED OFF FOR ANOTHER 3 HOURS OF TRIP, AND LIT UP AGAIN. HAD THE BATTERY TESTED, BATTERY WAS FOUND TO BE DEFECTIVE. R&R THE BATTERY, BATTERY LIGHT IS ON AGAIN. NO DRIVEABILITY ISSUES, JUST CONCERNED ABOUT, WHAT IS CAUSING RESISTANCE IN ELECTRICAL CHARGING SYSTEM, AND POSSIBLE "FIRE"!

2008 FORD EDGE SEL....WITH 6F50 TRANSMISSION....165000 MILES.... VEHICLE SHIFTS EXTERNALLY HARD FROM 3RD TO 4TH GEAR WITH A HARD JERK AND LOAD KLUNK, SO MUCH SO THAT IT HAS STARTED CAUSING ME NECK PROBLEMS FROM TENSING UP IN ANTICIPATION OF THE JERK. ALSO 2 TWICE UP GOING FROM PARK TO DRIVE, HAD AN EXTREMLY LOAD NOISE IN TRANSMISSION THAT SHOOK THE ENTIRE VEHICLE AND AS I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE THE RPM ROSE BUT THE CAR BARELY EASED FORWARD AND THE TRANSMISSION SOUNDED AS THOUGH IT WERE IN A BIND. I THEN PUT IT IN PARK, TURNED THE IGNITION OFF, PULLED OUT THE KEY, OPEN AND SHUT THE DOOR AS TO PRETEND I WAS EXITING, THEN PUT KEY BACK INTO IGNITION, STARTED THE CAR, PUT IT IN GEAR (NO PROBLEM) AND ACCELERATED AS NORMAL (NO PROBLEM), EXCEPT WHEN IT SHIFTED FROM 3RD TO 4TH WHICH IS AROUND 25MPH. I HAVE NOT AND DO NOT HAVE ANY LIGHTS ON IN THE INSTRUMENT DISPLAY PANEL NOR DO I HAVE ANY ERROR CODES SHOWING. MACANIC SAYS IT WOULD BE AN EXPENSIVE SHOT IN THE DARK TO START RANDOMLY CHANGING OUT SENSORS AND CHANGING OUT TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM AS IT IS NOT AN ISSUE WITH THE MECHANICS OF THE TRANSMISSION BUT AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE. I'VE ALSO TRIED A HARD REBOOT TO THE CARS ELECTRICAL SYSTEM TO POSSIBLY CLEAR ANY STORED ELECTRICAL ISSUES, PROBLEM STILL EXISTS!!! DEFINITELY A RECALL NEEDED, DUE TO SAFETY ISSUES WHILE DRIVING AND PHYSICAL CONDITIONS THAT COULD ARISE FROM THE TENSING UP IN EXPECTATION OF THE HARD JERK......

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE TRUCK LOST ALL POWER. THE ONLY CHOICE I HAD WAS TO STEER THE WHEEL TO A SAFE POSITION ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. WHEN THE HAPPENED THE DOORS WERE LOCKED WINDOWS WERE CLOSED SHUT I WAS ALMOST UNABLE TO GET OF THE TRUCK SAFELY. ALSO I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AFTER GET A NEW SET OF TIRES AND THE TRUCK BEGAN TO MAKE A SCRUBBING SOUND AS IF THE WHEELS WAS GRINDING AGAINST SOMETHING NOTHING WAS THERE. I REMEMBER A RECALL ON THE WHEEL HUB AND I HAVE HAD THE TRUCK FOR ABOUT 2 YEARS AND I DON'T RECALL GETTING THE PROBLEM REPAIRED BUT MY VIN RETURNS BACK NO ACTIVE RECALLS AND I CAN NOT HELP BUT WONDER IF THERE IS AN ERROR.

VEHICLE INITIALLY WOULD NOT ACCELERATE BEYOND 10 MPH THEN COMPLETELY LOST POWER IN THE MIDDLE OF RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. LOCAL REPAIR CENTER REPORTED ISSUES WITH PCM AND WAS UNABLE TO FIX IT. SENT IT TO A FORD DEALER WHO CONFIRMED ISSUES WITH PCM THAT DAMAGED THE BODY THROTTLE, 3 ENGINE COILS, AND OTHER PARTS. HAD TO REPLACE PCM AND PARTS DAMAGED BY IT RESULTING IN A $2894.10 REPAIR BILL. THE FOLLOWING DAY AFTER REPAIR, WAS AGAIN IN THE MIDDLE OF RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC AND THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY LOSS POWER AGAIN. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN AND BASED ON RESEARCH, A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME THING. FORD NEED TO RECALL THIS ISSUE. I'M SO THANKFUL MY CHILD WAS NOT IN THE VEHICLE DURING THESE EVENTS.

I OWN A 2008 FORD EDGE LIMITED I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AS SOME PEOPLE ON HERE ARE WITH THE WRENCH 🔧 LIGHT ALSO A AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON AND I HAVE ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE THE CAR SPEEDOMETER STOPS WORKING AND THE CAR SHIFTS SUPER HARD IT SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY I DID MY RESEARCH ON FORDS WEBSITE FOR FINDING OUT THE PROBLEM AND IT'S A GLITCH THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN WHEN TRYING TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT FROM OCCURRING ALSO YOU CAN'T EVEN VIEW THE SPEED I THINK THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AND RECALLED BECAUSE I IT CAN CREATE A UNSAFE ENVIRONMENT TO NOT ONLY MY VEHICLE BUT OTHERS AS WELL.

BOTH THE REAR TAIL/STOP LIGHT BULB SOCKETS MELT FROM EXTREME BULB HEAT. THIS ISSUE IS POSTED BY OTHERS ALL OVER THE INTERNET. THIS IS A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD THAT SERIOUSLY NEEDS ADDRESSING BY FORD. IN THE PAST I REPLACED THE RIGHT REAR BULB WHICH IS WHEN I DISCOVERED THE ISSUE. YESTERDAY I HAD TO REPLACE THE LEFT REAR BULB AND DISCOVERD THAT SOCKET TOO IS MELTED ALONG WITH THE BASE OF THE BULB ITSELF.

Mileage: 175,000

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, THE ODOMETER SUDDENLY DROPS TO ZERO WHILE STILL MOVING AT THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT. THE WRENCH SYMBOL WARNING LIGHT IN THE DASH COMES ON, AS WELL AS THE AIRBAG LIGHT. THE MILEAGE IS THEN CLEARED, AND THE DASH READS "ODO ERROR". PULLED OVER, TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE AND REMOVED THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION. GO TO TURN THE VEHICLE BACK ON, CAR STARTS NORMALLY, ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS ARE CLEARED. PUT THE VEHICLE INTO REVERSE, AND HEAR AND FEEL A LOUD "CLUNK" AS THE VEHICLE SHIFTS, AND AM ABLE TO BACK UP NORMALLY. WHEN SHIFTING BACK INTO DRIVE, THE RPMS JUMP UP, THE CAR SHIFTS AND MAKES THE LOUD "CLUNK", AND WHEN PUSHING THE ACCELERATOR, THE VEHICLE BARELY MOVES. IT WILL OCCASIONALLY COME BACK AND THE VEHICLE WILL RETURN TO IT'S NORMAL RUNNING STATE, BUT THEN IT WILL EVENTUALLY RETURNED TO THE DEFECTIVE STATE. NO ODOMETER WHILE DRIVING, NO POWER IF YOU STOP LEAVING YOU STRANDED.

Mileage: 109,000

DASH BOARD LIGHTS COMPLETELY OUT. WHEN CAR IS IN DRIVE RPM NOT APPEARING ALSO GAUGES NOT WORKING. COMPASS DATA ERROR APPEARS UP WITH RED BATTERY SYMBOL

THE SUNROOF STAYS OPEN AND CANNOT CLOSE UNLESS THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED AND MANUALLY FORCED CLOSE. THE SUNROOF MECHANISM TO CLOSE TO GLASS BREAKS EASILY. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE PANORAMIC SUNROOF, BUT IS EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE TO FIX. THE DEALERSHIP IS WANTING TO CHARGE BETWEEN $1900 - $2500 TO FIX AND TWO PLASTIC CLIPS THAT CLOSE THE SUNROOF, BECAUSE THEY ARE INDICATED THEY HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE TRACK SYSTEM, AS THE SPECIFIC SMALL PART THAT NEEDS REPLACING IS NOT AVAILABLE.

RIGHT REAR TAIL LAMP IS BURNT AND TURN SIGNAL NO LONGER WORKS. I'VE NOTED MANY INSTANCES OF THIS OCCURRING ON LINE. THERE SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL AS THIS HAS A FIRE POTENTIAL.

MADE A TURN OFF INTERSTATE INTO A BUSY ROAD, MY VEHICLE JERKED AND LOST ITS ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. LEAVING ME IN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WITH CARS FLYING AROUND ME TO AVOID HITTING ME. I MANAGED TO MAKE IT INTO A PARKING LOT. I HAD A FRIEND CHECK THE VEHICLE AND WITH THE HOOD UP HE HAD ME PUT IN REVERSE AND IT LOOKED LIKE THE MOTOR WAS GOING TO JUMP OUT OF THE VEHICLE, SAME HAPPENED IN DRIVE. HE PUT HIS COMPUTER ON AND A CODE FOR THE DRIVE SPEED SENSOR WAS PRESENT. THE CODE WAS CLEARED AND THEN NOTICED THE SPEED AND RPM GAUGES WERE INACCURATE. THIS HAPPENS ON OCCASION. UPON RESEARCH I SEE THIS SENSOR HAS A RECALL ON IT BUT NOT FOR MY YEAR 08 EDGE. PLEASE RECALL ASAP. THIS CAN CAUSE SOME SERIOUSLY BAD ACCIDENT WHEN YOUR VEHICLE LOOSES ITS ABILITY TO ACCELERATE WHEN IN TRAFFIC. I FEAR THIS WILL HAPPEN AND MY LIFE IS IN THE LINE. FORD IS AWARE THERE IS A APPARENT PROBLEM NOTED BY OTHER YEAR MAKE MODEL RECALLS. NOTE: THIS IS THE ORIGINAL COMPLAINT.....................TODAY THE SAME HAS HAPPENED AGAIN, I WAS GREETED BY HORNS BLOWING AND AGGRESSIVE DRIVERS BUT WAS UNABLE TO DO ANYTHING BUT COAST TO THE NEXT INTERSECTION TO TURN OFF.

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. WE FIGURED OUT THAT IF YOU DISCONNECT THE CABLES ON THE BATTERY FOR A FEW MINUTES THEN RECONNECT THE CAR WILL THEN RUN AGAIN OK. THIS IS A SERIOUS HAZARD. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT SEVERAL TIMES ON THE HIGHWAY DUE TO THIS ISSUE AND HAVE BEEN HIT FROM BEHIND GETTING ON THE HIGHWAY ALREADY. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO FORD SEVERAL TIMES ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT THERE IS "NO CODE READING" SO THEY CAN NOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM.

MY VEHICLE FORD EDGE MODEL 2008, LOST CONTROL AS WELL AS SPEED WHEN THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME TO THE DASHBOARD, IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE AIRBAG LIGHT LIT UP, I HAD LITTLE OR NO ENGINE POWER TO ENGAGE GEAR TO KEEP UP WITH TRAFFIC SPEED. MY SPEED DROPPED TO 40 MILES OR LESS PER HOUR. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION BECAUSE AT THAT MOMENT THE ODOMETER LIGHTING ALSO WENT OFF. DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AT NIGHT NO ONE DRIVES BELOW 40 MILES PER HOUR, MADE THE SITUATION PRETTY GRAVE AND DANGEROUS. THE PROBLEM COMES FROM THE POWER TRAIN FAULTY SENSORS NEAR THE TRANSMISSION NEED TO BE REPLACED COSTING OVER $800,00, AS FOR THE AIRBAG I HAVEN'T RECEIVED A INVOICE YET.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ILLUMINATED AND THE SPEEDOMETER FLUCTUATED DOWN TO ZERO. THE CONTACT MANEUVERED THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND RESTARTED IT AFTER TEN MINUTES. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AN ABNORMAL SOUND EMITTED FROM THE TRANSMISSION AREA AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS SHIFTED INTO THE DRIVE POSITION AND OPERATED NORMALLY. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PAST YEAR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

AFTER DRIVING FOR A WHILE (ROUGHLY A FEW HOURS) THE EDGE DOES THIS HARD JERK FORWARD THAT FEELS LIKE I'M PRACTICALLY BEING REAR ENDED. IT'S LIKE A HARD PAUSE, BEFORE IT JERKS FORWARD. THEN IT GRADUALLY ACCELERATES. ALSO, ON A FEW OCCASIONS, WHILE PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT, THE EDGE DID NOT WANT TO ACCELERATE THOUGH I WAS PRESSING ON THE GAS. MIND YOU, I WASN'T GOING FAST BECAUSE I HAD BARELY PULLED OUT OF THE PARKING STALL WHEN THIS OCCURRED. IT BARELY ACCELERATED THEN GRADUALLY CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP WHILE IN DRIVE. THIS HAS ALSO HAPPENED WHILE I WAS EXITING THE FREEWAY ONCE. I INITIALLY THOUGHT MY BATTERY WAS THE PROBLEM, BUT I HAD IT REPLACED THE FOLLOWING MORNING. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND I WAS TOLD NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT. THIS WAS THE SAME RESPONSE I GOT WHEN I'VE TAKEN IT TO FORD DURING THE TERM OF MY WARRANTY. I HAVE NOTICED THAT IF THE "CHECK ENGINE LIGHT" ISN'T ON, NOR IF YOU'RE NOT PAID OUT OF POCKET, FORD DOES NOT RECOGNIZE A PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM IS QUITE WORRISOME CONSIDERING I'D HATE TO BE STRANDED WITH MY CHILDREN IN AN INTERSECTION. I LIVE IN A VERY TOWN (LOS ANGELES COUNTY) WHERE TRAFFIC IS STEADY AND AGGRESSIVE SO KNOWING THIS PROBLEM CAN HAPPEN ANYTIME IS UNSETTLING, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN REAR ENDED ONCE FOR NOT BEING ABLE TO PROCEED WITH TRAFFIC AT A GREEN LIGHT. 2008 FORD EDGE, PURCHASE IN 2012

SAME COMPLAINTS AS PLENTY OF OTHERS. DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT 65 MPH AND THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS UP WITH *ODO ERROR*, THE LITTLE SCREWDRIVER LIGHT CAME ON, SHOWS LOW TIRE PRESSURE, THE SEATBELT/AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND THE ODOMETER STAYED AT ZERO. I COULDN'T ACCELERATE AND WHEN I PARKED IT, RESTARTED IT AND TRIED TO CHANGE GEARS IT SHOOK THE CAR SO HARD AND WAS SO LOUD IT COULD BE HEARD INSIDE THE BUILDING. SOMETHING IS TERRIBLY WRONG WITH THIS MODEL / YEAR OF VEHICLE AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE ABOUT IT. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IT HAS HAPPENED TO MY CAR. THE FIRST TIME IT RESET ITSELF SO THE DEALERSHIP COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. SO NOW IF I PAY TO HAVE IT TOWED TO A SHOP AND IT RESETS ITSELF BEFORE THEY CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS, WHICH IS LOOKS AS IF NOBODY CAN FIGURE IT OUT, THEN ITS WASTED MONEY ON A TOW AND A HUGE RISK THAT THIS HAPPENING AGAIN. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND I'M IN SHOCK TO SEE HOW MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. AS SOON AS I TYPED IN "ODO ERROR" IN GOOGLE IT AUTO FILLED MY EXACT CAR - I DIDN'T EVEN HAVE TO TYPE IT, SO EVEN GOOGLE KNOWS THIS IS A MAJOR MALFUNCTION.

I HAVE HAD TO PULL OFF THE FREEWAY MULTIPLE TIMES AND RESTART THE CAR. HAVE HEARD FROM A FEW THAT THE SENSORS IN THE TRANSMISSION ARE SHORTING OUT BUT HAVE HEARD OTHER THINGS AS WELL. DEALERS REFUSES TO LOOK INTO PROBLEM AND STATES SINCE LIGHT IS NOT ON THAT THEY CANNOT READ THE CODE. THIS IS DANGEROUS AS THE VEHICLE IS HARD TO KEEP SPEED AND GAIN SPEED ONCE THIS LIGHT COMES ON.

HOPEFULLY SOMETHING WILL BE DONE ABOUT IT. IT'S DRAINING THE BATTERY IN THE PROCESS. THANK YOU.

OUR VEHICLE BEGAN TO STUTTER WHILE DRIVING DOWN A 4 LANE HIGHWAY AND THEN SUDDENLY TURNED OFF WHILE CAR WAS STILL IN DRIVE AND IN MOTION. ONCE THE ENGINE TURNED OFF ON ITS OWN THE POWER STEERING DID NOT WORK MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO STEER TO THE SIDE OF ROAD. CAR WAS TOWED TO DEALERSHIP PROBLEM WAS NOTED AS A FAULTY PCM WHICH CAUSED THE COILS TO OVERHEAT AND CAUSE BOTH THE PCM AND COIL TO FAIL.

I WAS DRIVING BETWEEN 40-45 MPH ON A MAIN ROAD JUST AFTER 12 AM WHEN THE DASHBOARD LIT UP. THE CHECK ENGINE/WRENCH & AIRBAG LIGHTS CAME ON, THE ODOMETER DISPLAYED AN 'ODO DATA ERROR' MESSAGE (NO MILEAGE), & THE SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE DROPPED TO 0 MPH DESPITE STILL TRAVELING AT 40-45 MPH (I RELIED ON MY CELL PHONE'S GPS FOR MY TRAVELING SPEED). THE VEHICLE WAS RESPONSIVE, BRAKING, ACCELERATING, & DECELERATING NORMALLY, AS I LOOKED FOR SOMEWHERE TO PULL OVER. I CAME TO A FULL STOP AT A RED LIGHT & WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, I PUSHED DOWN ON THE GAS PEDAL BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NEARLY UNRESPONSIVE. I FULLY PUSHED DOWN ON THE GAS PEDAL BUT THE CAR ONLY GAINED ENOUGH SPEED TO CRAWL THROUGH THE INTERSECTION. I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT JUST PAST THE INTERSECTION, PUT THE CAR IN PARK, SHUT IT OFF, & WAITED 5 MINUTES BEFORE TURNING IT BACK ON. THE WARNING LIGHTS WERE OFF & THE ODOMETER MESSAGE WAS GONE BUT WHEN I SHIFTED INTO DRIVE, THERE WAS A LOUD, WRENCHING SOUND & THE ENTIRE CAR JERKED...STILL BARELY ABLE TO ACCELERATE & THE SPEEDOMETER STAYING AT 0, UNRESPONSIVE TO THE GAS PEDAL. I SHIFTED INTO REVERSE WITH THE SAME RESULTS. AFTER A FEW UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPTS WITH THE SAME RESULTS, I CALLED FOR A RIDE & LEFT THE CAR IN THE PARKING LOT, ARRANGING A TOW TO THE FORD DEALER WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED. THE FORD SERVICE DEPARTMENT DID A TEST DRIVE IN THEIR LOT & THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATING NORMALLY BUT PULLED COMPUTER ERROR CODES INDICATING FAULTY SENSORS (THE OUTPUT SPEED SENSOR & TURBINE SPEED SENSOR, WHICH WEREN'T 'COMMUNICATING PROPERLY'). I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL SHOP FOR REPAIR SINCE IT HAD JUST RUN OUT OF WARRANTY. I'M LUCKY BETHIS COULD HAVE BEEN A MUCH MORE DANGEROUS SITUATION IF IT HAD HAPPENED ON A BUSY ROAD OR A ROAD WITH A HIGHER SPEED LIMIT AND FEWER STOPS.

TOOK MY VEHICLE IN EARLY FOR SERVICE AT SUNRISE BECAUSE WAS CONCERNED ABOUT LOUD SCREECHING NOISE ON BRAKES AND ERRATIC BEHAVIOR OF VEHICLE -SURGING. WHEN DRIVING. WHEN THE SERVICE TECH (TROY) OPENED THE HOOD HE ASKED EM TO GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND STAND BACK, AS THE TOP OF THE BATTERY WAS SPATTERED WITH BLACK OIL LOOKING MATERIAL AND APPARENTLY HE AND ANOTHER TECHNICIAN WERE CONCERNED IT MIGHT RUPTURE OR EXPLODE. THEY ASKED EM TO GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE, GIVE THEM THE KEYS AND THAT THEY WOULD CHECK THE VEHICLE AND ASKED ME TO WAIT. ABOUT 90 MINUTES LATER THEY CAME OUT AND SAID ALL WAS FINE, NOTHING WRONG WITH BATTERY OR BRAKES. I LEFT AND DROVE VEHICLE HOME AND SAME PROBLEMS WERE OCCURRING, I RETURNED AND AFTER CALLING AND SAYING SAME THINGS WERE OCCURRING. I HAD HPED TO SPEAK TO [XXX], WHO WAS AN AMAZING SERVICE SUPERVISOR, BUT HE WAS NOT THERE AND ANOTHER MAN WHO WAS RUDE CLAIMED THE BATTERY WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY BUT THAT IT WAS NORMAL TO HAVE OILY SLUDGE ON THE BATTERY . HE SAID IT WAS "NORMAL, BECAUSE IT WAS JUST SWEATING". HE REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING..SAID THE BRAKES NEEDED TO BE AT 3 BEFORE FORD WOULD REPLACE THEM. I ASKED THAT HE CONTACT FORD CORPORATE AND INQUIRE. HE SAID, "NO HE WOULD NOT" THE BATTERY I SHOULD ADD SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN REPEATEDLY REPLACED. I HAVE LIMITED DRIVING THE VEHICLE, EXCEPT FOR SHORT LOCAL TRIPS, AND TONIGHT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AND AAA CLAIMED THE BATTERY WAS DEFECTIVE AND CLEARLY DEAD. IT IS MOST DISTURBING WHEN FORD MISREPRESENTS THEIR WARRANTY AND REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE DEFECTS THAT HAVE BEEN PUBLISHED IN THEIR WON ALERTS. SERIOUSLY DANGEROUS!

IT BECOMES A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AT NIGHT SINCE THE DOME LIGHTS WILL NOT TURN OFF SO IT IS HARD TO SEE OUTSIDE AND COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING WITH ME AND OUR 2 CHILDREN ON THE HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH. ALL GAUGES (FUEL, SPEEDOMETER, ODOMETER, ETC.) STOPPED WORKING AND THE ODOMETER READ "ODO DATA ERROR". WE HAD A GPS THAT WE WERE USING AND DISPLAYED OUR SPEED, SO WE KEPT GOING THE 5 MILES TO OUR PLANNED STOP ALONG THE WAY HOME. WHEN WE RESTARTED THE CAR, THE GAUGES WERE BACK UP BUT IT MADE A LOUD THUMPING SOUND WHEN CHANGING GEARS. IT REVERSED FINE (BUT WE WERE ON A SLOPE), THEN THUMPED AGAIN AS WE SWITCHED TO DRIVE. THE CAR ONLY REVVED AND DID NOT MOVE. WE REVERSED AGAIN TO SITUATE OURSELVES SO THE SLOPE WAS IN OUR FAVOR WHEN WE SWITCHED TO DRIVE. IT WAS A TOUGH START, BUT IT DID GO. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO REPORT (THIS WAS ON A SATURDAY) AND WAS TOLD THAT I COULD BRING IT IN, BUT THEY WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO LOOK AT IT UNTIL TUESDAY. WE MADE IT HOME (ANOTHER HOUR DRIVE), BUT I'M NOT USING THE CAR AGAIN UNTIL I DRIVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE CAR IS NOT ACCELERATING PROPERLY. *TR

WHEN I STARTED IT BACK UP ALL THE ERROR MESSAGES CLEARED, BUT WHEN I WENT TO PUT MY CAR INTO DRIVE IT SOUNDED AS IF THE TRANSMISSION HAD DROPPED. I TRIED DRIVING ONLY TO REV THE ENGINE UP TO 3000 RPM WITH BARELY ANY MOVEMENT. WHEN EVER SHIFTING FROM DRIVE OR REVERSE IT MADE THAT LOUD POPPING NOISE. I TOOK IT TO A DEALERSHIP TO BE TOLD IT STOPPED DOING IT BUT THEY DIDN'T FIX IT. THEY MADE NO REPAIRS. THEY ARE LETTING ME PICK THE CAR UP AND DRIVE IT AGAIN WITH OUT ANY ACTUAL RESOLUTION, BUT THEY DID CHARGE ME MONEY TO "LOOK AT THE CAR". DO PEOPLE ACTUALLY HAVE TO DIE FOR SOMEONE TO ISSUE A RECALL?

I DID A LOT OF RESEARCH ABOUT MY CAR HAVING THIS PROBLEM AND IT SEEMS LIKE A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. PLEASE RECALL THIS. MY COMPUTER SHOULD NOT HAVE GONE OUT WHEN I DO REGULAR MAINTENANCE ON MY CAR. *TR

I WAS DRIVING UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS AT ABOUT 35 MPH WHEN THE TRANSMISSION SEEMED TO BE SLIPPING AND THE WRENCH CAME ON THE DASH AND THE CAR LOST ALL POWER . I CAME TO A STOP AND SHUT THE CAR OFF AND CHECKED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND IT WAS GOOD. I STARTED THE CAR AGAIN AND IT WOULD REV HIGH BUT BARELY MOVE. I GOT HOME SLOWLY AND PARKED IT AND WHEN I CAME BACK OUT LATER AND TRIED IT, ALL THE POWER WAS BACK AND THE WRENCH WAS GONE AND IT DIDN'T CLUNK INTO GEARS LIKE IT WAS EARLIER. I THINK BY SHUTTING IT OFF AND TAKING OUT THE KEY FOR A COUPLE HOURS RESET A COMPUTER GLITCH IN THIS CAR. I HAVE HEARD MANY STORIES JUST LIKE MINE AND SPEAKING FOR MANY 08 EDGE OWNERS WE WANT THIS RECALLED. THIS COULD RESULT IN TONS OF MECHANIC BILLS AND UNANSWERED ISSUES FOR OWNERS. *TR

THIS HAS NOW HAPPENED TO ME TWICE WITH BOTH MY SMALL CHILDREN IN THE CAR WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY, AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. T HE SPEEDOMETER WENT TO 0, THE MAINTENANCE WRENCH DISPLAY LIT UP, ALONG WITH THE ERROR MESSAGE "TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR FAULT" (OR SOMETHING TO THAT EFFECT) AND I WAS UNABLE AFTER STOPPING AT A STOP LIGHT TO ACCELERATE ALMOST CAUSING THE PERSON BEHIND ME TO REAR END ME. ONCE GETTING TO MY HOME WHEN PUTTING THE CAR INTO PARK IT MAKES A LOUD CLUNKING NOISE THEN PROCEEDS TO JERK THE ENTIRE VEHICLE. AFTER LETTING THE CAR SIT FOR AN HOUR I TRIED TO TURN IT ONE ONCE AGAIN AND TEST DRIVING A FEW FEET FORWARD, IT ONLY MOVED AT A SLOW PACE WHEN GAS PEDAL APPLIED. *TR

THIS HAD HAPPENED A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO SO I KNEW ONE OF THE BULBS HAD BURNED OUT ON THE LEFT SIDE. I WENT TO THE LOCAL AUTO PARTS STORE, PURCHASED REPLACEMENT TAIL LIGHT BULBS & BULB GREASE AND ASKED IF THEY COULD CHANGE IT OUT FOR ME. UPON REMOVING THE COVERS, THE YOUNG MAN DISCOVERED A FRIED/MELTED ASSEMBLY. THERE IS NO WAY TO REMOVE THE BULB IT IS SO MELTED IN THE SOCKET AND THE SOCKET IS DISCOLORED FROM THE HEAT.

THE "DRIVER DOOR AJAR" MESSAGE CONTINUES TO GO OFF ON OUR 2008 FORD EDGE. THE DOOR IS SECURELY CLOSED. THE LIGHTS WILL STAY ON FINALLY CAUSING A COMPLETE DRAIN ON OUR BATTERY LAST NIGHT DURING THE NIGHT. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY CONCERN AS THE DOORS DO NOT LOCK SOMETIME UNTIL SEVERAL MILES DOWN THE ROAD. WE COULD ALSO BE LEFT STRANDED SOMEWHERE AS WE NEVER KNOW WHEN IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN. WE GO TO BED ALL LIGHTS ARE OFF AND SOMETIME DURING THE NIGHT THEY COME ON. WE HAVE TRIED SEVERAL SUGGESTIONS REGARDING ENGINE LUBRICANT ON THE PLUNGER, BUT IT IS A TEMP FIX AT BEST. THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE IT FIXED BY FORD.

AFTER STARTING CAR, VEHICLE MADE LOUD CLUNK SOUND WHEN PUT IN REVERSE. CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WITHOUT PRESSING ACCELERATOR MORE THAN USUAL AND ENGINE REVVED HIGH. DASH BOARD WENT BLANK EXCEPT FOR WRENCH SYMBOL, AIRBAG SYMBOL AND ODOMETER HAD ALL DASHES. TURNED CAR OFF, WAITED A FEW MINUTES, TURNED CAR BACK ON AND EVERYTHING WAS BACK TO NORMAL, CAR DROVE FINE. THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 5 TIMES WITHIN THE PAST 3 YEARS, SEVERAL MONTHS APART. HAVE ALSO HAD TO REPLACE REAR TAIL LIGHTS MULTIPLE TIMES, SOMETIMES WITHIN 2 DAYS OF REPLACEMENT. HAVE TAKEN CAR TO FORD SERVICE, BUT THEY CAN'T PINPOINT PROBLEM. NOW CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY. SEEMS LIKE IT COULD BE ELECTRICAL OR SENSORS. HAVE READ AND SEEN VIDEOS OF MANY OTHERS WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL. WISH FORD WOULD HELP OWNERS LIKE OURSELVES WITH A RECALL TO FIX THIS, AS OUR LOYALTY HAS GONE AWAY WITH FRUSTRATION. HAVE JUST TODAY, 03/27/14 HAD MY CAR TOWED TO REPAIR SHOP TO CHECK TRANSMISSION.

ON THE WAY HOME FROM A VACATION, WE PULLED INTO A FAST FOOD RESTAURANT TO GET A QUICK BITE TO EAT. UPON LEAVING THE RESTAURANT, WE STARTED THE VEHICLE AND EVERYTHING SEEMED NORMAL. ABOUT THREE MINUTES INTO OUR DRIVE HOME, THE DASH LIGHTS CAME ON (SPECIFICALLY THE WRENCH AND AIR BAG LIGHTS) AND THE VEHICLE LOST ALL THROTTLE POWER. WE QUICKLY PULLED OVER AND TURNED OFF THE CAR TO SEE IF WE COULD DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM OURSELVES. AFTER BEING UNSUCCESSFUL AT IDENTIFYING THE PROBLEM, WE STARTED THE CAR AGAIN AND ATTEMPTED TO PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE. THE TRANSMISSION PRODUCED A LOUD "CLUNKING" SOUND. EACH TIME YOU TRIED TO CHANGE GEARS (I.E. REVERSE TO DRIVE), THERE WOULD BE AN EXTREMELY HARSH ENGAGEMENT AND THE GEAR CHANGE WOULD BE ROUGH, EACH TIME PRODUCING A LOUD "CLUNK". I BROUGHT THE CAR TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHO ADVISED THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH FORD EDGE'S, IN FACT; THERE IS A TSB BULLETIN (07-21-11) REGARDING THE ISSUE. THIS PROBLEM STEMS FROM A SHORT IN THE OUTPUT SHAFT SPEED (OSS) SENSOR AND THE TURBINE SHAFT SPEED (TSS) SENSORS. AS I READ THE TSB BULLETIN, THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE COVERED BY THE MANUFACTURES EMISSIONS WARRANTY, THE DEALERSHIP DISAGREES. THIS ISSUE CAN BE FOUND IN ABUNDANCE WITH THE 2008 FORD EDGE VEHICLE. IN A BRIEF SEARCH ONLINE, I FOUND A LARGE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS SAME PROBLEM FROM OWNER EDGE OWNERS. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE AND IT SHOULD HAPPEN IMMEDIATELY. IN THIS INSTANCE, I WASN'T IN HARM'S WAY, BUT IN PREVIOUS INSTANCES I HAVE BEEN IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION AND LOST THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE, WHICH IS UNDOUBTEDLY A TERRIFYING EXPERIENCE. I AM REQUESTING YOUR ASSISTANCE IN MOVING FORWARD WITH THIS COMPLAINT AS I'M NOT SURE WHERE ELSE TO TURN. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. *TR

FOR OVER A YEAR WHEN MY CAR HAD LESS THAN 100K AND STILL UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY MY TRANSMISSION STARTED SLIPPING AND SLAMMING INTO GEAR ON TAKEOFF. I TOOK TO FORD DEALER SHIP AND THEY RAN DISNOSTICS AND FOUND NOTHING WRONG BUT REPROGRAMED THE COMPUTER. THAT DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. THE CAR CONTINUES TO TODAYS TO SLIP AND SLAM ON TAKE OFF, THE ODOMETER BOUNCES AND THE ENGINE START CUTTING OUT/LOOSING POWER. AGAIN THE DEALER SAID IF THE COMPUTER IS NOT SETTING CODES THEY CANNOT FIX. NOW AT 110K OUT OF WARRANTY THE PROBLEM CONTINUES JUST GETTING WORSE. I BELIEVE BY READING THE BLOGS THAT THIS IS A LARGE ISSUE THAT FORD KNOWS ABOUT BUT REFUSES TO ADMIT BAD TRANSMISSION DESIGN AND WILL NOT RECALL. I THINK THEY SHOULD EITHER FIX THE ISSUE AT THEIR COST OR BUY BACK THE VEHCILE. I AM SURE THE MAIN ISSUE IS THE COST TO FORD TO FIX THE ISSUE AND THEY KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. THEY ARE MORE WORRIED THEIR STOCK HOLDERS THAT THEIR CUSTOMERS. I GUESS THEY WILL NEED A BAILOUT IF THEY KEEP THIS TREND UP. I USED TO HOLD FORD AS A QUALITY COMPANY, WITH QUALITY PRODUCTS, BUT NO LONGER. THE FOREIGN CAR COMPANIES ARE PRODUCING A BETTER QUALITY PRODUCT. I JUST WANT MY CAR FIXED OR REPLACED.

2008 EDGE PURCHASED NEW IN 2009. IMMEDIATELY NOTED STRANGE SURGING WHEN ACCELERATING AND BRAKING. CONCERNED ABOUT TRANSMISSION. NOTIFIED FORD COOPERATE WHEN DEALER SAID VEHICLE WAS PERFORMING 'NORMALLY" SO CONCERNED CEASED DRIVING ON FREEWAY. IN SEPT OF 2011, TOOK VEHICLE TO BE SERVICED. THEY ASKED THAT I WAIT EVEN THOUGH I SHARED ONGOING CONCERNS. VEHICLE WAS GIVEN TO ME AND TOLD THAT ALL WAS WELL. AT 32000, IN DEC. OF 2011 ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON...TOOK TO DEALER WHO ADVISED ME THEY WOULD NEED TO KEEP IT FOR SOME TIME AND ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REMOVED. 6 DAYS LATER, I WAS NOTIFIED THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE CAM PHASER AND ALSO SOMETHING WITH COOLING SYSTEM. OTHER ISSUES THAT SHOULD BE NOTED IS THAT THE BATTERY HAS BEEN REPLACED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE CAR FOR NO REASON HAS ALARM GO OFF. VERY MUCH CONCERNED THAT INFORMATION IS BEING WITHHELD AND THAT THIS MAY BE A COMMON ISSUE WITH EDGE AND PERHAPS THERE IS A NEED FOR A RECALL. I KNOW NOTHING MORE AT THIS POINT, BUT WILL BE CONTACTING ALL SAFETY ORGANIZATIONS FOR MORE INFORMATION. *TR

THE VEHICLE WOULD AT DIFFERENT TIMES, HAVE TROUBLE SHIFTING FROM PARK TO REVERSE, IN DRIVE, ETC. IT SOUNDED LIKE THE TRANSMISSION WAS BROKEN. THIS PROBLEM WOULD ARISE, AND THEN GO AWAY. THE FIRST TIME THE DEALERSHIP RESET THE COMPUTER, AND IT RAN FINE FOR WEEKS, THEN THE PROBLEM CAME ABOUT AGAIN, AND WENT AWAY, THE LAST TIME AROUND SEPT 18TH, IT WAS WORSE, SO I HAD IT TOWED AND REPAIRED. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE OUTPUT SHAFT SENSOR AND TURBIN SHAFT SENSOR AT A COST OF $700. I WAS IMPELLED TO REPORT A CONCERN, AFTER SEEING OTHER CONCERNS ON LINE FOR THE SAME ISSUES, AND A CUSTOMER OF MINE WHO HAS AN EDGE IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES. FORD MOTOR COMPANY, AND THE DEALERSHIPS DO NOT SEEM TO WANT TO SERIOUSLY ADDRESS THIS ISSUE, AND I FELT LIKE THEY WERE TRYING TO AVOID ADMITTING TO A MAJOR PROBLEM. *KB

REPEATED ISSUE WITH THE BULBS IN TAIL LIGHTS BURNING THE SOCKETS, BULBS BURN OUT CAUSING THE SOCKET TO GET A SINGED APPEARANCE WHERE THE BULB FITS. BULB IS PROPRIETARY TO FORD SO IT HAS TO BE TAKEN IN AND THEY REFUSED TO REPLACE THE SOCKET A SECOND TIME. ADVISED AT ONE POINT THAT IT COULD CAUSE GETTING A TICKET OR REAR ENDED AND INJURIES. AT THAT POINT THEY CHANGED IT OUT THE FIRST TIME. BUT STILL HAD THE BULB BURN OUT. THE BULB HAS BEEN CHANGED ABOUT 6 TIMES NOW AND STILL HAVING PROBLEMS

WITHIN 1 WEEK AFTER PURCHASE UP UNTIL PRESENT DATE, NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS/COMMENTS WERE PLACED TO 2 DIFFERENT FORD DEALERSHIPS REGARDING A 'HICCUP' WHILE THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY AND IDLING (RANDOM AND INTERMITTENT). 1 DEALERSHIP SERVICED THE CAR END OF AUGUST AND FOUND NO PROBLEM. 2ND DEALERSHIP SERVICED VEHICLE ON OCTOBER 13 AND 14 AND COULDN'T FIND PROBLEM.

DASH CLUSTER (SPEEDOMETER) IS NOT VISIBLE DURING CERTAIN TIMES OF THE DAY WHILE DRIVING CREATING A SAFETY HAZARD. BACKGROUND ON VEHICLE CLUSTER IS SILVER AND THE ILLUMINATED NUMBERS ARE NEON GREEN. WHEN LIGHTS ARE REQUIRED FOR DRIVING DURING DUSK, THE NUMBERS DISAPPEAR FROM VIEW. THERE ARE TIMES THAT WE LEAVE OUR LIGHTS OFF WHEN THEY ARE NEEDED BECAUSE IT IS EASIER TO SEE THE DASH INSTRUMENTS. IF WE TURNED ON THE LIGHTS, THE NUMBERS WOULD DISAPPEAR AND WE WOULDN'T KNOW HOW FAST WE WERE TRAVELING. EVEN DURING NIGHT DRIVING THE NUMBERS ARE ONLY SOFTLY ILLUMINATED. BROUGHT BACK TO DEALER THREE TIMES TO HAVE THIS CORRECTED BUT THEY SAY THEY CANNOT TOUCH THE ODOMETER AREA OR CHANGE THE COLOR DUE TO FEDERAL REGULATIONS. THEY SAY THAT THE PART MUST MATCH THE ORIGINAL VIN NUMBER. WE FEEL IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. OUR DEALER IS WILLING TO WORK WITH US BUT FORD WILL NOT. THE CAR IS BRAND NEW (ONLY 6,000 MILES ON IT). AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH WE HAVE FOUND THAT THERE ARE THREE DIFFERENT DASH CLUSTERS FOR THIS VEHICLE. ALL WE WANT IS ONE THAT IMPROVES OUR SAFETY AND HAS BETTER VISIBILITY. *TR

VEHICLE STALLS WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE 18 MONTHS. THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES. TWICE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND ONCE ON A LOCAL STREET. THE FIRST EVENT THE VEHICLE HAD APPROX 2K MILES. THEN AGAIN AT APPROX 12K AND 14K. WHEN IT HAPPENS THE DASH GOES DARK, YOU LOSE ALL POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. VEHICLE CAN BE RESTARTED IN NEUTRAL WHILE MOVING. DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN UNABLE TO RECREATE THE PROBLEM. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD EDGE. WHENEVER IT IS DARK OR CLOUDY, THE CONTACT IS UNABLE TO READ THE NUMBERS ON THE SPEEDOMETER. THE FAILURE HAS OCCURRED EVER SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT DOES NOT KNOW HOW FAST HE IS DRIVING. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER, BUT THEY DID NOT ASSIST IN REMEDYING THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT PURCHASED AN ANGLE MIRROR IN AN ATTEMPT TO HAVE THE LIGHT REFLECT OFF OF IT; HOWEVER, THAT DID NOT HELP. HE BELIEVES THAT IT NEEDED TO BE MANUFACTURED DIFFERENTLY BECAUSE ON DAYS WITHOUT BRIGHT SUN LIGHT, IT IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO DETERMINE HOW FAST HE IS DRIVING. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 1,600. UPDATED 11/6/08 *CN UPDATED 11/10/08. *JB
