2008 FORD EDGE Vehicle Speed Control Problems

When I accelerate, my car jerks or the shifting is not smooth anymore. Others have been quoted over $9k to fix this issue.

HERE WE ARE YEARS LATER AND STILL THE SAME ISSUES....LOSS OF POWER WITHOUT WARNING, SHUTS OFF WITH NO WARNING. BANGS WHEN SHIFTING, VERY ROUGH SHIFTING. FEELS LIKE ITS IN 1ST GEAR AND THEN SHIFTS ROUGHLY INTO GEAR, OR I HAVE TO STOP SHUT IT OFF AND START AGAIN. I SEE ALOT OF THE SAME COMPLAINT AND NO RECALL? ITS GETTIN STUPID NOW! THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED, IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE!

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE SPEEDOMETER DROPS TO 0, WRENCH LIGHT AND AIRBAG LIGHT TURNS ON. CAR LOSSES POWER AND KEEPS RUNNING. TO MOVE AT ALL REQUIRES REVING THE ENGINE TO VERY HIGH RPMS

Mileage: 147,000

SPEEDOMETER DROPPED TO 0 WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON CAR HAD ALMOST NO POWER MADE LOUD NOISE THEN AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND TIRE PRESSURE WARNING.

Mileage: 180,000

THE INFORMATION PANEL LIT UP WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, THE WRENCH, THE AIRBAG LIGHT, THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT AND DISPLAYED A MESSAGE: ODO DATA ERROR. THE ODOMETER/SPEEDOMETER FELL TO ZERO. I STOPPED AT A LIGHT AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE NORMALLY, THEN A BIG CLUNKING SOUND AND FINALLY MOVED FORWARD. AFTER A NIGHT IN THE GARAGE, THE VEHICLE DROVE NORMALLY THE NEXT DAY AND ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS WERE OFF. THEN ONE DAY IT HAPPENED AGAIN. TOOK IT TO A FORD DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND THEREFORE COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING TO FIX. SINCE THAT TIME, IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND EACH TIME I PULL OFF THE ROAD, TURN THE ENGINE OFF, WAIT A LITTLE BIT, START THE ENGINE AGAIN AND PULL AWAY. THERE IS ALWAYS THE CLUNKING AND JERKING INTO GEAR. AFTER REVIEWING A FEW FORD ONLINE FORMS, I SEE THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN THE 2008 EDGE AND MAY BE ATTRIBUTED TO TWO SENSORS, THE SPEED OUTPUT AND TURBINE SENSORS. FOR SAFETY REASONS, I WILL ONLY DRIVE ON SURFACE STREETS BECAUSE I NEVER KNOW WHEN IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN. SEEMS TO ME, FORD IS LIKELY AWARE OF THIS AND WOULD BE A SHAME IF SOMEONE GOT HURT. THE DATE BELOW IS THE MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE ALTHOUGH IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. *TR

Mileage: 86,000

START ENGINE, MOVE TRANSMISSION INTO REVERSE, TRANSMISSION CLUNKS LOUDLY. WHEN TRANSMISSION IS MOVED TO DRIVE, ENGINE REVS HIGH, BARELY MOVES FORWARD, SPEEDOMETER STUCK AT ZERO DESPITE MOVING UP TO 20MPH. ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON.

Mileage: 85,000

THE WRENCH LIGHT WILL COME ON WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE, AND POWER IS LOST. MY CAR WILL SLOW DOWN TO AROUND 10-20 MPH NO MATTER WHERE I AM OR HOW FAST I AM GOING. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY FORD. I HAVE BEEN ON I-10 WITH MY HUSBAND AND TODDLER AND THE VEHICLE GOES INTO THIS "LIMP MODE" AT 80 MPH! I AM SO TERRIFIED TO DRIVE A VEHICLE THAT I HAVE TO PAY EVERY MONTH FOR. MECHANICS THAT HAVE LOOKED AT THE CAR HAVE NO DEFINITIVE ANSWER TO PROBLEM, THEY SUGGESTED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY BE CLEANED. WE DID THAT AND IT WAS NO HELP. THE VEHICLE LEFT ME AND MY SON STRANDED THIS MORNING ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE I COULD NOT GET IT OUT OF THE "SAFETY LIMP MODE". USUALLY, I CAN PULL OVER, PARK, AND SHUT THE CAR OFF FOR A FEW MINUTES, THEN TURN IT ON AND IT WOULD WORK AGAIN. THIS MORNING, IT WOULD NOT RESET ITSELF. I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY HELP OR ADVICE ON THIS MATTER.

Mileage: 97,000

DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY SUDDENLY SPEEDOMETER/ODOMETER STOPPED WORKING, LOW TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON AND CAR ACCELERATION DROPPED AND IT WOULDN'T RESPOND TO INCREASED PRESSURE ON GAS PEDAL. CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. HAD TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY. CAR WOULD ONLY TRAVEL AT A VERY LOW SPEED. MADE MY WAY TO A PARKING LOT AND SHUT THE CAR OFF. SHIFTING INTO ANY GEAR (REVERSE, DRIVE ETC.) CAUSED THE CAR TO JUMP/SHAKE AND MAKE A LOUD NOISE. AFTER A WHILE IT RESOLVED ITSELF. TOOK THE CAR TO A FORD DEALERSHIP. THEY CHECKED IT OUT, COULD FIND NO ISSUE (INCIDENTAL FINDING - CAR NEEDED BATTERY). BATTERY WAS REPLACED, PICKED UP CAR AND RESUMED DRIVING THE CAR. WITHIN A WEEK WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY (SECOND TIME SINCE PICKING THE CAR UP) AND HAD THE SAME THING HAPPEN. DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AND SUDDENLY SEE THE SPEEDOMETER/ODOMETER STOP WORKING, LOW TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT AND LOSE ABILITY TO CONTROL ACCELERATION OF VEHICLE. HAD TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY, CAR WOULDN'T TRAVEL AT ANYTHING OTHER THAN VERY LOW SPEED, JERKED WHEN SHIFTED ETC. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE AND WHEN LOOKING IT UP ONLINE I CAN SEE IT HAS HAPPENED TO MANY WITH THIS MODEL/YEAR. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO SUDDENLY LOSE THE ABILITY TO CONTROL ACCELERATION. WHY HAS THIS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED WITH A RECALL. IT SEEMS TO OCCUR ONCE THE CAR REACHES CLOSE TO 100K MILES. CAN'T HELP BUT WONDER WHY DEALERSHIP IS NOT AWARE BUT I CAN FIND REAMS OF DOCUMENTED ISSUES ONLINE. FYI - THIS CAR IS PRIMARILY DRIVEN BY MY 19 YEAR OLD SON AND BOTH INCIDENCES OCCURRED WHEN HE WAS DRIVING.

Mileage: 125,000

VEHICLE WILL ACT LIKE IT ' JUMPS' AND THE WRENCH LIGHT WILL COME ON. VEHICLE WILL DECELERATE IF I DON'T PULL OVER IMMEDIATELY CAUSING ME TO COME TO A STOP. SPEEDOMETER DOESN'T WORK WHILE THIS IS HAPPENING. CANT ACCELERATE ONCE STOPPED. HAS TO TURN VEHICLE OFF TO RESET THE COMPUTER AND THE WRENCH LIGHT WILL GO OFF FOR A PERIOD OF TIME UNTIL IT DECIDES TO HAPPEN AGAIN. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION IF ON THE HIGHWAY AND CAN'T GET OUT OF THE WAY OF OTHER CARS TO CUT THE VEHICLE OFF. HAPPENS A FEW TIMES A MONTH.

Mileage: 162,000

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.

Mileage: 190,000

ON MY DRIVE TO WORK I NOTICED MY TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT WAS ON. ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK SOMETHING EXTREMELY SCARY HAPPENED. TWO ADDITIONAL LIGHTS APPEARED, ONE WAS THE WRENCH SYMBOL AND THE OTHER WAS TIRE SENSOR FAULT WHICH WAS NOT THE BIGGEST ISSUE. THE BIGGER SCARIER ISSUE WAS THAT WHILE GOING 65 MPH IN BUSY TRAFFIC MY SPEED ODOMETER STOPPED WORKING. I SPOKE TO SOMEONE AT FORD AND EXPRESSED MY FEAR OF THIS SAFETY ISSUE. THEY RECOMMENDED REPORTING IT. IF ANYONE ELSE HAS THIS SERIOUS ISSUE PLEASE REPORT IT.

Mileage: 100,000

DRIVING, GOING UP A HILL, THE CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING AND LOST POWER GOING UP. I ALMOST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT. THE CAR DOESN'T ACCELERATE AND IT HAS ALL THE FLUIDS AND CHANGED OF OILS. THE CAR CLUNKS AND HAS A WRENCH. WHEN I PUT INTO REVERSE IT JUMP A VERY MINIMUM ACCELERATION. I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. I HAD TO TOW THE CAR. THE MECHANIC COULDN'T FIND THE PROBLEM. HE SAID HE CLEARED UP THE COMPUTER AND IT WAS FINE. THEN I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. NO ACCELERATION. WHY FORD HASN'T MADE THIS INTO A SAFETY RECALL. I DID MY INVESTIGATION AND I BELIEVE IT HAS TO DO WITH THE TRANSMISSION SENSORS. PLEASE HELP ME.

Mileage: 212,000

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.

Mileage: 17,656

WHILE DRIVING OUT OF A DRIVEWAY ONTO A HIGHWAY, MY VEHICLE WENT LIMP AND I HAD TO PULL OVER. AS I WAS PUTTING IT INTO PARK, IT GAVE OUT A LOUD NOISE. I WAITED FOR A FEW MINUTES AND TURNED THE IGNITION BACK ON AND PROCEEDED TO DRIVE OFF AND THE CAR STALLED AGAIN. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. I'M HAVING IT TOWED TO MY HOUSE WHERE IT WILL STAY PARKED UNTIL I CAN HAVE IT LOOKED AT. HOPEFULLY, I WON'T HAVE TO TRADE IT IN. WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE FOR VEHICLES, I WILL NOT PURCHASE A FORD EVER AGAIN.

Mileage: 120,000

WILL BE DRIVING AND LOUD THUMP THEN CAR WILL NOT CHANGE GEARS. HAVE TO PULL OFF ROAD TURN CAR OFF AND LET SIT FOR AWHILE. RESTART CAR AND WRENCH GOES AWAY AND CAR WILL GO. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AS HAVE BEEN ON FREEWAY WHEN PROBLEM OCCURS. THERE SHOULD BE RECALL ON THIS PTOBLEM.

Mileage: 20

ON 4/26/19 THE FORD EDGE WAS SETTING IN PARK LETTING MY SISTERS GET OUT THE FORD EDGE WAS PUT IN DRIVE IT WOULD NOT MOVE PUT IT IN REVERSE IT WOULD NOT MOVE, TURN IT OFF AND ON AGAIN IT STARTED TO WORK FINE.I DO NOT WHAT IS GOING ON IT

WHILE DRIVING IN THE CITY IT JUMP FROM FIRST TO SECOND GEAR WITH A HARD BOOM. DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHILE GOING UP A HILL JUMP OUT OF GEAR AND WILL NOT PULL I PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER. TO GET THE CAR TO FUNCTION AGAIN I HAVE TO TURN THE FORD EDGE OFF TURN IT BACK ON THIS IS NOT GOOD. WHAT CAN BE DONE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR

Mileage: 143,000

I WAS DRIVING IN A CITY STREET AND MY CAR SUDDENLY HAD VERY DECREASED POWER AND THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. I DROVE UNTIL I FOUND A PLACE TO SAFELY PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. WHEN I TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON THE LIGHT TURNS OFF.

Mileage: 125,000

WHEN DRIVING MY CAR LOSES POWER AND WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. BOUGHT IT TO FORD DEALER WAS TOLD IT'S MY THROTTLE BODY. I SEE THIS IS NOT A ISOLATED CASE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE AND AIR BAG WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. ALSO, THE ODOMETER BECAME INOPERABLE AND THE VEHICLE FAILED TO MAINTAIN FORWARD MOMENTUM. THE VEHICLE WAS SAFELY GUIDED OFF OF THE ROADWAY, THE IGNITION WAS PLACED IN THE OFF POSITION, AND THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED; HOWEVER, IT FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. KRAUSE FAMILY FORD OF WOODSTOCK (LOCATED AT 195 WOODSTOCK PKWY, WOODSTOCK, GA 30188, (770) 592-8873) AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 159,000. *TT VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED.*JB

Mileage: 159,000

DRIVING AND OUT OF NO WHERE, RECEIVE AN ERROR MESSAGE THAT SAYS "ODO DATA ERROR", THE CAR HOLDS THE CURRENT SPEED BUT IT'S VERY APPARENT THAT SOMETHING IS OFF AS THE CAR IS NOW MAKING A HUMMING/AIR PRESSURE SOUND (SPEEDOMETER & TACHOMETER STOPS WORKING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS) WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE WRENCH, AIRBAG, ABS, STABILITY CONTROL INDICATOR AND ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATE. WITHIN 5 MINUTES NEW ERROR APPEARS (TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR FAULT). ONCE YOU HAVE PRESSED THE BRAKES AND COME TO A COMPLETE STOP THE CAR IS EXTREMELY HESITANT TO ACCELERATE EVEN WITH THE GAS PEDAL PUSHED COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR IT DOESN'T GAIN POWER UNTIL IT HAS ROLLED ABOUT 15-20 FEET AND AT THAT POINT THERE IS A EXTREMELY LOUD BANG WHICH MAKES YOU THINK THE ENTIRE UNDERBELLY OF THE CAR HAS FALLEN OUT. AT THAT POINT IT REGAINS SPEED AGAIN, BUT IF YOU STOP IT DOES THE SAME THING ALL OVER. SWITCHING GEARS RESULT IN A LOUD BANG AND JERKING ACTION OF THE CAR WITH LITTLE TO NO ACCELERATION POWER. TEMPORARY REMEDY IS TO PULL OVER TURN CAR OFF WAIT A MINUTE OR TWO THEN RESTART THE CAR. AT THAT POINT WHEN SWITCHING GEARS THE BANG AND JERK HAPPEN AGAIN WITH THE CAR SLOW TO ACCELERATE FOR A FEW SECONDS THEN IT TAKES OFF LIKE A RACE HORSE. SOMETIMES THIS REMEDIES IT WHILE OTHER TIMES THE SAME PROCESS IS REPEATED MULTIPLE TIMES WITHIN ONE TRIP. THIS HAS OCCURRED ON CITY STREETS AND MAJOR EXPRESSWAYS AT SPEEDS OF 35 MPH TO 60 MPH. FIRST STARTED EXPERIENCING THE ISSUE AT ABOUT 170K MILES AND HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR OVER A YEAR WITH NO SOLUTIONS FROM MECHANICS. IF A MECHANIC WITH EQUIPMENT/COMPUTERS CAN'T REMEDY A REPAIR AND SEEING HOW THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME ISSUE FORD SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL TO REPAIR ANY COMPONENTS THAT COULD TRIGGER THE ISSUE. THIS IS PURE NEGLIGENCE SEEING THAT THERE ARE SO MANY COMPLAINTS. MY OPINION IS IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND COMPUTER SYSTEM.

Mileage: 170,000

WHEN PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE AT VERY SLOW SPEED AND MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, THE ENGINE WILL SUDDENLY INCREASE IN SPEED. THIS IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM, IT FIRST HAPPENED ONCE ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO AND DIDN'T HAPPEN AGAIN UNTIL ABOUT 4 WEEKS AGO NOW IT OCCURS AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK. IT'S NOT FLOOR MATS OR ANYTHING ELSE ON THE GAS PEDAL ! SO FAR NO DAMAGE OR INJURIES BECAUSE I SHUT OFF THE ENGINE.WHEN I RESTART, ALL SEEMS NORMAL UNTIL IT HAPPENS AGAIN LATER ON. ALSO NOTE THAT "WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN?" ANSWER IS THE LATEST DATE IT HAPPENED

Mileage: 93,000

THE TRUCK SUDDENLY STALLS OUT, U PRESS THE ACCELERATOR AND THE TRUCK DOESN'T PICK UP SPEED, I TURN THE IGNITION ON AND IT DOESN'T START, IT CUTS OFF IN THE MIST OF DRIVING AND TURNING...VERY DANGEROUS THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL AND IT SHOULD NOT EXPIRE I HAVE MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR WITH ME!!!!

ONE WEEK PRIOR TO EVENT-THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON WHILE STARTING CAR. I TURNED IGNITION OFF AND RE-STARTED CAR IGNITION-DROVE FINE WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT UNTIL 1 WEEK LATER: PULLED INTO A 1 MILE DRIVEWAY TO GET TO MY WORK OFFICE SUITE (FLAT ROAD) DRIVING ABOUT 30 MILES, CAR CAME TO A STOP WITHOUT WARNING-AT THAT TIME ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. I PUT IT INTO PARK/WITH EMERGENCY BRAKE AS IT BEGAN ROLLING NEAR AN OFFICE SUITE-THE STEERING WHEEL WAS FROZEN. HAVE HAD SAME STALLING ISSUES WHILE DRIVING CAR SINCE PURCHASING THE CAR AT 18,000 MILES-EACH TIME TOLD DIFFERENT THINGS ARE CAUSING IT BY DEALER, I.E. TSS/OSS SENSORS, EBT, REFLASH POM WHICH I HAD FIXED. WITH CURREN EVENT- ARE IN PROCESS OF DIAGNOSING IT.

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. NHTSA PLEASW DO SOMETHING IF POSSIBLE. THIS OUTPUT DRIVE SPEED SENSOR IS GOING TO GET SOMEONE KILLED SOON. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS THROUGHOUT THIS FEED UNDER SCATTERED CATEGORIES MAINLY BECAUSE MOST DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS AND DEALERS CANT FIGURE OUT IF THE VEHICLE DOESN'T THROW UP A CODE. I HAD MINE CHECKED WHEN THE WARNING LIGHT WAS ON SO I WOULD KNOW THE ISSUE. UNFORTUNATELY THE DEALER COULDN'T HELP BECAUSE WE CLEARED THE CODE. I CHECKED INTO GEETING THIS FIXED BUT ACCORDING TO THE DEALER THE PART IS UNAVAILABLE, AND THE LABOR WOULD BE ABSURD IF THEY HAD TO REPLACE. PLEASE HELP!

WRENCH LIGHT, DASHES ON ODOMETER, SPEEDOMETER ON ZERO, AIRBAG LIGHT ON. LOSES THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE PROPERLY. IT HAS HAPPENED 6 TIMES THIS MONTH, USUALLY ON THE HIGHWAY AFTER I'VE HAD TO SLOW DOWN WITH TRAFFIC AND TRY TO ACCELERATE AGAIN. GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD OR A PARKING LOT AND SHUT THE CAR OFF. RESTART IT ALL WARNING LIGHTS ARE GONE BUT STILL WILL NOT ACCELERATE. SHIFT IN AND OUT OF REVERSE AND DRIVE WITH VERY LOUD KNOCKING AND JERKING. MOVE CAR BACK AND FORTH. RESTART AND REPEAT MULTIPLE TIMES BEFORE IT RESETS ITSELF. IT NEVER HAPPENS BY SOMEWHERE THAT CAN SCAN IT TO GET A CODE. AS THE WRENCH LIGHT GOES OFF AND STAYS OFF AFTER YOU RESTART THE CAR NO ONE CAN TELL ME WHAT'S WRONG. IT IS EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING. I AM QUICKLY LOSING FAITH IN FORD AND THEIR REGARDS FOR CUSTOMERS SAFETY. GOOD THING I DON'T LIVE WHERE THERE ARE MOUNTAINS BECAUSE IF I DID I AM SURE I WOULD HAVE BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT BY NOW. IT HAS HAPPENED TWICE THIS WEEK. 5 TIMES WERE HIGHWAY 1 WAS ON A BUSY 4 LANE ROAD. IT HAS JERKED WHEN SHIFTING AROUND 45 MPH FOR ABOUT 3 YEARS NOW.

Mileage: 121,000

I CAN BE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY SET ON CRUISE CONTROL AND MY VEHICLE WILL COME UP ODOMETER FAILURE A WRENCH LIGHT, AND TRANSMISSION LIGHT AND SEVERAL OTHERS COME ON NO SPEEDOMETER. IF I COME TO A STOP TAKING OFF THE VEHICLE IS STUCK IN HIGH GEAR AND WILL BARELY PICK UP ANY SPEED UNTIL IT MAKES A HARD LOUD SHIFT. YOU CAN PULL OVER AND RESET IT BUT WHEN YOU TAKE OFF IT IS THE SAME THING. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS YOU DON'T KNOW WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN AND I HAVE BEEN IN THE MIDDLE LANE ON A HIGHWAY BEFORE WHEN IT KICKED OUT. THIS HAS BEEN LINKED BACK TO BAD TSS AND OSS SENSORS IN THE TRANSMISSION THEY NEED TO BE RECALLED BEFORE IT KILLS SOMEONE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT VARIOUS WARNING INDICATORS RANDOMLY FLASHED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL/CLUSTER. WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS APPLIED, THE RPMS RACED, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS SLOW TO GAIN SPEED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED NO RECOMMENDED SOLUTION. THE VIN AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE NOT AVAILABLE.

DRIVING AT I275 TO ST PETERSBURG, AT 60MPH THE CAR MADE A LOUD NOISE FROM THE ENGINE AND REDUCED GEARS ABRUPTLY, IT FELT LIKE A HARD BRAKING FROM THE ENGINE, VERY HARD. THE RPM WENT SKYROCKET, THE CAR LOST POWER AND WOULDN'T GO OVER 45MPH OR IT WOULD DO THE SAME AGAIN. IT LOOKED LIKE IT WAS ON A VERY LOW GEAR, AS IT WAS AT 40MPH DOING ALMOST 4000RPM... I STOPPED AT A GAS STATION, TURNED IT OF AND LET IT SIT FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES. WHEN I TRIED TO GO BACK ROME, AFTER 2 MILES IT DID THE SAME, IT LOST POWER. I DROVE BACK TO THE GAS STATION AND HAD IT TOWED HOME.

APPLYING THE BRAKE GENTLY (WOULD NOT CORRECT)IF BRAKE WAS APPLIED VERY FIRMLY,IT WOULD FINALLY LET THE RPM DROP BACK TO NORMAL,

Mileage: 124,000

WHEN I WAS DRIVING TO WORK ALL OF A SUDDEN MY AIRBAG AND WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AND I HAVE NO SPEEDOMETER OR TACHOMETER READING. IF I PULLED OVER AND STARTING DRIVING AGAIN I HAD VERY LITTLE PICKUP EVEN THOUGH THE RPMS WERE OVER 2,000. THERE IS ALSO A VERY LOUD CLUNK WHEN YOU PUT IT IN DRIVE OR REVERSE.

ON APPROXIMATELY 7/6/2016, WHILE IN MOTION, TRAVELING NORTH ON RIVERSIDE DRIVE -I-55 NORTH, ON THE 2-LANE OVERPASS AT I-55 & MCLEMORE, 18 WHEELER WAS TO THE RIGHT AND I WAS BEHIND ANOTHER MOTORIST IN LINE AND TRAVELING ABOUT 70 MPH WITH A LINE OF VEHICLES BEHIND, IT WAS AFTER WORK RUSH HOUR 4:45PM; WHEN AS I AM DRIVING THE VEHICLE SPUTTERS, SEEMED TO IT LOSE POWER, DECELERATES IN THE MIDDLE OF ON GOING TRAFFIC. THE ENGINE LIGHT FLASHED AND THEN STAYED ILLUMINATED, I COULD NOT ACCELERATE IN ORDER GET OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AND TRAFFIC WAS AT A VERY FAST FLOW. MY SYNC SYSTEM SURGED, A-C STOPPED BLOWING COLD AIR, THE VEHICLE STARTED "MISSING" BUT THE VEHICLE DID NOT SHUT OFF. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO ADVANCE AUTO PARTS STORE AND WAS TOLD THAT I HAD A MISFIRE IN 3 OF THE IGNITION COILS, BOUGHT REPLACEMENT COILS AND HAD ALL 6 OF THEM REPLACED. START THE VEHICLE AND THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS CLEARED BUT CAME RIGHT BACK, THE VEHICLE IS STILL MISS FIRING ON THE EXACT SAME COILS THIS TIME ALONG WITH THE PCM. OUT OF HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS AT THE MOMENT AND IT LOOKS LIKE I WILL BE OUT OF $3000 TO FORD FOR AN ISSUE THAT THEY KNOW IS FAULTY WITHIN THE DESIGN OF THE COMPUTER. WE'VE ALREADY PAID $30,000 FOR THE VEHICLE, WHY WOULD FORD NOT RECALL AND REPAIR THESE ISSUES IF THEY ARE AWARE OF IT????

VEHICLE WOULD NOT GET OUT OF SECOND GEAR,( TURNED OFF WHEN ARRIVED HOME). NEXT MORNING HARD CLUNKING INTO REVERSE JUST LIKE PREVIOUSLY VEHICLE IN DRIVEWAY NO IN MOTION. SEEMED TO STAY IN 2ND GEAR AGAIN. TURNED INTO MY HUSBANDS SHOP, GARAGE WHERE THE VEHICLE SEEMED TO BE OKAY. DROVE TO WORK NO BIG ISSUES SO FAR. READ UP ON LINE THAT 100'S OF CONSUMERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE FORD EDGE AND THE 2008 IN PARTICULAR SEEMS TO BE THE WORST.

TAKATA RECALL - VEHICLE LOSES SPEED CONTROL POWER WHILE DRIVING. WRENCH LIGHT COMES ON INDICATING SERVICE NEEDED. WHEN VEHICLE SHUTS OFF, RESETS ITSELF AND ABLE TO DRIVE 100-150 MILES AND THEN THE WRENCH LIGHT COMES ON AGAIN. CALLED DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT IN ORDER TO IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM, THE WRENCH LIGHT WOULD HAVE TO BE ON FOR THEM TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE. MY SISTER DOES NOT DRIVE MUCH, SO WHEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN, SHE HAPPENED TO BE CLOSE TO AN AUTO ZONE STORE AND SHE STOPPED TO HAVE THEM TO READ THE CODE IN ORDER TO GET THE ERROR READING. THE CODE WAS P0715 - REFERRING TO TURBINE INPUT SPEED SHAFT SENSOR. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND FORD SHOULD RECALL THIS AS IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FOR MY SISTER 6 MONTHS AGO. AT THE THE TIME IN WHICH I BOUGHT THIS CAR FOR MY SISTER, 2 WEEKS LATER SHE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A BRAIN TUMOR AND CANNOT DRIVE. SHE HAS HER SON OR DAUGHTER TO DRIVE HER TO HER MEDICAL APPOINTMENTS AND WHERE EVER SHE NEEDS TO GO. THE LAST THING I NEED IS FOR HER TO BE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT AND POTENTIALLY DIE FROM A DEFECT IN WHICH THE MANUFACTURER COULD HAVE PREVENTED. FORD NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS BEFORE PEOPLE ARE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR DIE. WHY WAIT UNTIL SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS BEFORE YOU FIX THE ISSUE IS BEYOND ANYTHING THAT I CAN COMPREHEND.

SOMETIMES THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT DRIVE THE CAR AFTER A STOP OR IF CHANGING FROM DRIVE TO REVERSE OR REVERSE TO DRIVE. RPM WILL GO VERY HIGH AND ONLY MOVE THE CAR VERY SLOWLY. AT OTHER TIMES THERE WILL BE A BAD SHIFT OR A STRANGE SOUND. THIS CAN HAPPEN ANY TIME, WHEN FIRST STARTING OUT FOR THE DAY, AFTER RUNNING FOR A TIME, AFTER A LONG DRIVE OR AFTER STOPPING FOR A TURN, RED LIGHT, STOP SIGN OR JUST SLOWING DOWN. THE DEALER SAYS THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. ALSO NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR WHILE IN MOTION. I BELIEVE THE SENSORS ARE INTERMITTENT AS I HAD A SIMILAR PROBLEM WITH MY DODGE CARAVAN WHICH WENT AWAY AFTER I REPLACED THE SENSORS MYSELF BECAUSE THE REPAIR STATION TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG AFTER 3 ATTEMPTS TO HAVE THE PROBLEM RECTIFIED. YOU ARE ALL SUPPOSED TO BE PROFESSIONAL EXPERTS SO FIX THE PROBLEM.

I WAS DRIVING OUT OF TOWN FOR A WORK MEETING WITH AN EMPLOYEE. ONLY GOING APPROX 45-50 MPH, ALL THE SUDDEN THE SPEEDOMETER DROPS TO 0 ALONG WITH THE MILEAGE ON MY CAR(JUST DASHES), THEN THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND A WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON THEN FEW MINUTES LATER THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT. WE WERE COMING UP ON A RED LIGHT SO I SLOWED DOWN AND STOPPED. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I PRESSED MY GAS PEDAL AND THE CAR WENT NO WHERE. I SLOWLY MOVED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND SHUT MY CAR OFF. I WAS HOPING TO MAKE IT TO THE GAS STATION 2 MILES UP THE ROAD. I WAITED A FEW MINUTES TURNED MY CAR BACK ON A VERY ODD NOISE HAPPENED THE SPEEDOMETER WAS BACK ON AND THE LIGHTS WERE GONE, I WENT TO PUT THE CAR IN D AND THE ODD NOISE AGAIN, PUSHED THE GAS TO ACCELERATE AND NOTHING. CURRENTLY MY CAR IS ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WAITING A TOW 1 HOUR AWAY FROM HOME. I'M LUCKY MY CHILDREN WERE NOT WITH ME WHEN THIS OCCURRED, IT COULD HAVE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS. THIS WAS MY FIRST EXPERIENCE WITH THIS, NOT ONLY DANGEROUS BUT VERY EMBARRASSING WITH AN EMPLOYEE IN MY CAR AS WELL.

I HAVE A 2008 FORD EDGE, I HAVE BEEN NOTICING OVER THE PAST FEW MONTHS THAT AT RANDOM TIMES THE CAR WILL LURCH FORWARD WHEN ACCELERATING AS IF IT SUDDENLY RECEIVED A BURST OF SPEED. ONE DAY I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT AND I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE SO THAT I COULD DRIVE AND THE CAR WOULDN'T MOVE AND WHEN I PRESSED HARDER ON THE ACCELERATOR THERE WAS A LOUD BANG NOISE THAT SOUNDED LIKE THE CAR SUDDENLY CLICKED INTO DRIVE. IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING MORE AND MORE OFTEN WHERE IT LAGS AND STICKS AND LURCHES FORWARD WHEN IT FINALLY WANTS TO GO. TODAY, IT HAD SERIOUS ISSUES WHERE I WAS TRYING TO ACCELERATE AND THE CAR WAS INSTEAD SLOWING DOWN AND LURCHING FORWARD WITH THE SOUND OF THE ENGINE STRAINING AND MAKING NOISE. I HAD TO PULL OVER BECAUSE THE CARS BEHIND ME HAD TO GO AROUND ME. I WAS EXTREMELY NERVOUS THAT THE CAR WOULD STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD OR CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. WHEN I PULLED OVER AND TURNED THE CAR OFF AND THEN TURNED IT BACK ON THE PROBLEM SEEMED TO LESSEN I ONLY DROVE AT A LOW SPEED TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE TWO CHILDREN AND THIS CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I WILL TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP ASAP. IT ALSO ROLLS BACKWARD ON AN INCLINE. FORD NEEDS TO DO A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE I HAVE DONE SOME ONLINE RESEARCH TODAY AND SEE THAT MANY MANY PEOPLE HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEMS. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.

WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAY WITH CHILDREN IN CAR ON FREEWAY, CAR SUDDENLY MADE A HARD SOUND, SPEEDOMETER DROPPED TO 0 INSTANTLY, ALL DASH BOARD LIGHTS CAME ON, RPM STAYED BETWEEN 2 AND 3, ONCE TRAFFIC SLOWED AND ACCELERATOR WAS EASED OFF OF CAR BEGAN TO SLOW AND WOULD NOT PICK BACK UP SPEED WHEN PRESSED AGAIN- EVEN WHEN PUSHED ALL THE WAY DOWN. I PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER AND TURNED THE ENGINE OFF. THEN TURNED IT BACK ON. THEN I TRIED TO PUT IT INTO GEAR. THE ENGINE SOUND AS IF GAS WAS BEING GIVEN TO ENGINE FROM ACCELERATOR AND RPM WAS STUCK AT 2-3, WHEN PUT INTO GEAR, CAR JOLTED REALLY HARD AND MOVED EVER SO SLOWELY WHEN I TRIED TO DRIVE IT BACK INTO TRAFFIC TO GET MY FAMILY OFF FREEWAY, EVEN WHEN I PRESSED PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, CAR BARELY MOVED. I HAD TO KEEP TRYING MULTIPLE TIMES TO TURN ENGINE OFF, TRY TO PUT IT IN GEAR, AND GET CAR GOING JUST TO GET IT OFF FREEWAY TO SAFETY. CAR EVENTUALLY PULLED INTO GEAR AND DROVE NORMALLY AFTER SEVERAL TRIES. A SINGLE MOTHER, WITH INFANT AND OLDER CHILD ON BOARD, ON A VERY BUSY FREEWAY IS VERY, SCARY SCARY SCARY. THIS HAPPENS OFTEN ON EITHER THE FREEWAY (DRIVING FAST) OR DRIVING OUT OF THE PARK'S PARKING LOT AT SLOW PACE. CAR SLIPS OUT OF GEAR OR SOMETHING AND WILL NOT ACCELERATE WHEN I GIVE IT GAS.

TRIED TO BACK UP TO STRAIGHTEN VEHICLE AND IT MADE A LOUD CLUNK NOISE WHEN PUTTING IN REVERSE. AFTER TURNING OFF CAR WENT TO RESTART AFTER 30 MINUTES CAR MADE LOUD CLUNK AGAIN WITHOUT BEING IN GEAR. AT THIS TIME IT ISN'T A RECALLED ITEM JUST. TSB AND NOT GETTING ANY RESOLUTION AS TO WHY THIS ISNT A RECALL ITEM. APPROX. 45 MINUTES PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY DRIVING THE SPEED LIMIT. WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF THE FAILURE OCCURRED AT THIS POINT.

AFTER CONSULTING WITH FORD AND ANOTHER MECHANIC SHOP THEY INDICATED THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR. HOWEVER THERE ARE NO RECALLS FOR THIS DEFECT. THIS IS A CLEAR SAFETY ISSUE AS THE SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER AND STOPPAGE OF THE VEHICLE COULD HAVE INJURED ME OR KILLED ME OR POSSIBLE INJURED OR KILLED OTHER PEOPLE.

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.

1ST OCCURRENCE: THE VEHICLE'S SPEEDOMETER WENT TO 0 AND WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. AS THE VEHICLE SLOWED AND I TRIED TO ACCELERATE OUT OF TRAFFIC, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE. IT SEEMED TO BE STUCK IN A HIGH GEAR. I SAT ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND WAS ALMOST ROBBED WHILE I WAS WAITING ON MY HUSBAND TO ARRIVE FOR HELP. AFTER MY HUSBAND ARRIVED AND THE CAR HAD BEEN OFF FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES, HE STARTED IT AND IT DROVE LIKE NORMAL. 2ND OCCURRENCE: ABOUT 1 MONTH LATER, THE SAME THING HAPPENED WITH THE VEHICLE, FORTUNATELY I WAS CLOSER TO HOME. MY HUSBAND RAN THROUGH THE SAME PROCESS OF ALLOWING THE CAR TO COOL OFF AND RESTARTING IT. AFTER SOME INVESTIGATION ONLINE, THIS ISSUE SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE FORD EDGE. IT APPEARS TO BE A PAIR OF SENSORS, CALLED THE TURBINE SENSOR AND TRANSMISSION SPEED SENSOR. IT ALSO APPEARS THAT THESE SENSORS COST ABOUT $800 TO REPLACE. IF THIS IS SUCH A COMMON PROBLEM, WHY HAS THERE NOT BEEN A RECALL FROM FORD? *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING, TWO OR THREE WARNING LIGHT ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CAME ON, THE CAR LOST ALL POWER. I WOULD ONLY GO FORWARD WITH THE GAS PETAL PUSHED TO THE FLOOR. IT'S A KNOWN ISSUE, FOUND OUT FROM YOUTUBE MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME EXACT ISSUE. IT'S AN INTERMITTENT ISSUE THAT HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS ON THE ROAD CREATING A HAZARDOUS SITUATION FOR EVERYONE. HERE IS WHAT IS KNOWN ABOUT THIS ISSUE. TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN 07-3-11 6F50 TRANSAXLES BUILT PRIOR TO 1/1/2007 - DTC P0715, P0717, P0718, P0720, P0721, P0722 AND/OR HARSH ENGAGEMENT, NO UPSHIFT, FIFTH GEAR ONLY.

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

FROM TIME TO TIME WHILE DRIVING WHEATHER ON A SIDE ROAD OR ON A HIGHWAY IN PARTIULAR AT ACCELERATION THE POWERTRAIN MALFUNCTION/ REDUCED POWER LIGHT COMES ON THEN IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THERE IS AN EXTREME LOSS OF POWER. ACCELERATOR PRESSED TO THE FLOOR WILL ALLOW ACCELERATION BUT WITH VERY MINIMAL TORK. I AM COCERNED THIS CAN LEAD TO A DANGEROUS SITUTATION ESPECIALLY ON A HIGHWAY SETTING. ALSO THE AIR BAG SERVICE LIGHT, LOW TIRE PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT AND THE SERVICED ENGINE SOON LIGHT ALL LIGHT UP. THERE IS ALSO AN ODOMETER READ ERROR, SPEEDOMETER AND TACHOMETER MALFUCTION. THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS VERY ROUGHLY IN AND OUT OF REVERSE AND DRIVE. THIS EVENT GENERALY LAST UNTIL THE VECHICLE IS COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN AND AN APPEARANT RESET OCCURS.

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

2008 FORD EDGE: I WAS STOPPED AT AN INTERSECTION PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC AFTER DRIVING NORMALLY FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES. WHEN I HIT THE ACCELERATOR THEIR WAS NO POWER AND THE CAR INCHED FORWARD AT LOW SPEED AND THE RPMS INCREASED DRAMATICALLY. I WAS ABLE TO HIT THE BRAKE BEFORE AN ONCOMING VEHICLE ALMOST HIT MY DRIVERS SIDE AS I WAS ATTEMPTING TO TAKE A LEFT. ONCE I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER IN A SAFE LOCATION, I PUT IT IN PARK AND TRIED TO RE-ENGAGE THE TRANSMISSION IN DRIVE. THE VEHICLE WAS STILL UNRESPONSIVE, NO POWER TO ACCELERATE. I THEN SHUT OFF THE CAR AND RESTARTED AND THE CAR BEHAVED NORMALLY AFTER THE RESTART. I HAVE HAD THIS CAR FOR 3 YEARS WITH NO SIMILAR ISSUES. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE THERE IS NO WARNING SIGN AND THE CAR DOES NOT ACCELERATE AS EXPECTED. I WAS LUCKY THAT I WAS ABLE TO STOP IN TIME WITHOUT GETTING HIT BY THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC. *TR

AFTER SLOWING DOWN AT THE END OF THE EXIT I NOTICED MY CAR WOULD BARELY MOVE AND IT SLOWLY CREPT UNTIL I WAS AT A SAFE SPOT TO PARK. AS SOON AS I PARKED OTHER WARNING LIGHTS BEGAN FLASHING SUCH AS THE TIRE PRESSURE SIGN AND ANOTHER THAT I CAN NOT REMEMBER. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND THEN BACK ON AND I EXPERIENCED A HARD START, WHICH WAS LOUD, AND WHEN I WENT TO CHANGE GEARS THE CAR JERKED VIOLENTLY AS IF THE MOTOR WAS JUMPING. WHEN PLACING IN REVERSE GEAR THE JERK WAS EVEN MORE VIOLENT AS IF I WAS BEING REAR ENDED. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON MULTIPLE TIMES AND CHANGED THE GEARS AND EACH TIME IT DID THE SAME THING. WHEN TRYING TO SEE IF THE CAR WOULD MOVE I HAD TO PUSH THE GAS PEDAL ALMOST ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR BEFORE THE CAR WOULD EVEN MOVE A LITTLE BIT AND AGAIN THE RPM'S REVVED REALLY HIGH. I ENDED UP CALLING A TOW TRUCK AND MY CAR IS CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP. PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT I EXPERIENCED OCCASIONAL JERKING WHILE DRIVING AND THE CAR WAS SWITCHING GEARS. *TR

I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF, LET IT SIT FOR ABOUT 1 MINUTE, TURNED THE CAR BACK ON AND THE WARNING LIGHTS WERE GONE AND THE ODOMETER WAS BACK TO NORMAL. HOWEVER, WHEN I WENT TO DRIVE AGAIN THE SHIFT WAS STILL VIOLENT, I HAD NOT POWER (HIGH REV AND BARELY MOVED) AND NO SPEEDOMETER. THE CAR IS CURRENTLY IN MY DRIVEWAY WITH THAT BEING THE CURRENT STATE.

UPON ACCELERATION THE RPM'S WILL GO UP YET THE CAR WILL SLOW DOWN AND YOU WILL FEEL A BANG AS IF SOMEONE HAS REAR-ENDED YOU. THIS HAS HAPPENED QUITE A FEW TIMES WITHIN A YEAR OF US PURCHASING IT BRAND NEW. THE DEALER COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG SEVERAL TIMES I BROUGHT IT TO THEM. FINALLY, I LEFT IT THERE A FEW MONTHS AGO AND WOULDN'T TAKE IT BACK UNTIL IT WAS FIXED. THEY RE-DID THE TRANSMISSION AND SAID IT IS FIXED. I HAVE BEEN HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH IT STILL. I ALMOST GOT INTO A CAR ACCIDENT BECAUSE IT DID IT AS I WAS TURNING AND IT JUST WOULDN'T KICK INTO GEAR, THEN A BIG BANG AND IT GOES. I ALMOST GOT HIT DEAD ON. NOW THEY ARE TELLING ME THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT BECAUSE I HAVE 60,240 MILES ON IT AND IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY AT 60,000. I HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING ABOUT IT SINCE THEY FIXED IT BUT EVERYTIME I WENT TO BRING IT THERE TO HAVE IT CHECKED, THEY DIDN'T HAVE A LOANER OR THE TECH WHO NEEDS TO LOOK AT IT IS OFF. WE CALLED CORPORATE AND THEY DID NOTHING. THIS IS RIDICULOUS THAT I AM READING SO MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AND NOTHING IS GETTING DONE - NO RECALLS, NOTHING. THIS IS UNFAIR AS TO I HAVE MAINTAINED EVERYTHING ON THIS VEHICLE AND IT SHOULD NOT BE DOING THIS. THIS IS A FORD ISSUE AND THEY SHOULD BE TAKING CARE OF THIS.

I HAVE HAD IT CHECKED MANY TIMES BY FORD AND OTHER PLACES BUT NO ONE CAN FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE DRIVE TRAIN. I NOTICE ON FORD FORUM THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THIS VEHICLE BY FORD TO COVER ALL FORD EDGES FROM 2008 TO 2010 AND HAVE THE DRIVE TRAINS REPLACED, EVEN IF THEY CAN NOT FIND ANY PROBLEMS.

I OWN A 2008 FORD EDGE. I HAVE HAD IT FOR JUST OVER 30 DAYS AND HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH IT SINCE THE WEEK THAT I PURCHASED IT. I HAVE HAD IT TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY ARE TELLING ME THAT SINCE THERE ARE NO CODES READING OUT AND NO LIGHT ON AND THAT THEY CANT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM THAT THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. I AM SUPPOSED TO MONITOR AND CALL BACK WITH WORSE SYMPTOMS. I CALLED THEM IN THURSDAY BECAUSE I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK AND MY CAR SKIPPED THE WHOLE WAY UP A HILL ON THE HIGHWAY AND WHEN I GOT TO THE TOP OF IT MY CAR COMPLETELY POWERED DOWN AND SHUT OFF WITH THE KEY STILL IN THE IGNITION AND IN THE IN POSITION. I HAD TO GET OFF THE ROAD VERY QUICKLY TO AVOID BEING HIT BY A 18 WHEELER. I AM HAPPY THAT MY CHILD WAS NOT IN THE CAR BUT I AM NOW SCARED FOR MY FAMILY AND MY SAFETY AS WELL AS OTHERS. SEVERELY UNHAPPY WITH THIS VEHICLE!!!!! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY BEGAN TO ACCELERATE UNCONTROLLABLY AND WITHOUT WARNING, CAUSING THE CONTACT TO CRASH INTO A NEARBY VEHICLE. THE CONTACT SUFFERED SEVERAL MINOR INJURIES DUE TO THE CRASH AND A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED AND HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND UPON ACCELERATION FROM A COMPLETE STOP, THE VEHICLE RANDOMLY WOULD GO INTO A "NEUTRAL-LIKE" STATE. RPMS WOULD INCREASE DRAMATICALLY, BUT THE CAR WOULD CRAWL BETWEEN 3-5MPH. THE MESSAGE, "OD READ ERROR" WOULD DISPLAY ON THE DASHBOARD, POWER STEERING WOULD GO OUT AND BRAKES WOULD NOT RESPOND WELL (IT WAS AS IF THE CAR HAD TURNED OFF). WHEN SHIFTING FROM DRIVE TO PARK OR REVERSE, THE VEHICLE WOULD JERK FORWARD VIOLENTLY, AS IF REAR-ENDED. ONCE THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF AND STARTED AGAIN, THE PROBLEM WOULD GO AWAY. WE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES AND THE DEALERSHIP EVEN DETERMINED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THIS WAS ONLY AT 37,600 MILES. THE DEALER SAID IT WAS A TRANSMISSION ISSUE, BUT IT APPEARS TO BE AN ON-BOARD COMPUTER ISSUE AS WELL. AFTER TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED, 5 WEEKS LATER HAD ISSUE WITH SHIFTING INTO FIRST GEAR. VEHICLE SHIFTED VERY HARD INTO FIRST GEAR. CAR IS BACK DOWN AT THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN. WROTE A LETTER TO FORD EXPRESSING MY CONCERN AND REQUESTED THE CAR BE REPURCHASED, THEY DENIED MY REQUEST. *TR

THE 2008 FORD EDGE'S AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION DOESN'T ENGAGE PROPERLY. WHEN ON ANY INCLINE OR DECLINE, THE CAR WILL ROLL WHEN IN GEAR. FORD STATES THIS ISN'T A "PROBLEM" ITS A "REDESIGN". WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PUT INTO DRIVE OR REVERSE, YOU HAVE TO HIT THE GAS FOR THE CAR TO MOVE, IT DOESN'T START ROLLING WHEN YOU LET OFF OF THE BRAKE. IF YOU ARE BACKING UP A HILL IN REVERSE AND YOU LET OFF THE BRAKE, THE VEHICLE ROLLS FORWARD WHILE IN REVERSE, IT DOESN'T PULL THE CAR BACKWARDS STILL. IF A CHILD RUNS IN FRONT OF YOUR CAR WHILE YOU'RE BACKING UP AND YOUR HEAD IS STILL TURNED LOOKING BACK AND WHEN YOU LET OFF THE GAS TO PRESS THE BRAKE TO SHIFT FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE, THAT CHILD OR PERSON COULD BE KILLED. THE TRANSMISSION COULD ALSO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IN HEAVY TRAFFIC SINCE YOU HAVE TO HIT THE GAS AND BRAKE QUICKLY. MY WIFE WAS BACKING UP IN THE RAIN AND HAD TO PRESS THE GAS PEDAL TO GET GOING BACKWARDS AND HER 2008 FORD EDGE ACCELERATED TOO MUCH AND SHE HIT MY TRUCK AND AFTER SHE HAD HIT MY TRUCK THAT IS WHEN THE BACKUP SENSORS WENT OFF. THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE THAT HAVE BROUGHT THIS TO FORD'S ATTENTION AND THE POSSIBLE DANGERS AND EVERYONE GETS THE SAME ANSWER FROM FORD ALL OVER THE COUNTRY. FORD STATES "THIS ISN'T A PROBLEM, THIS IS A NEW DESIGN AND EACH OF US ARE THE FIRST ONES TO HAVE A PROBLEM AND NO ONE ELSE HAS COMPLAINED ABOUT IT". SOMEONE SHOULD SERIOUSLY LOOK INTO THE 2008 FORD EDGE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED.
