Takata recall service at earnhardt ford chandler az has been contacted several times since original recall letter was received july 2016, and we have been advised each time they still do not have the parts to fix our vehicle from this recall. Last contact was november 2017.
Takata inflators ** -2 years and no replacement air bags for my vehicle. It has been recommended to not have anyone sit in the passenger seat. This now makes my vehicle a 4 passenger car (if you swish 3 people in the back seat). New airbags were to be available in spring 2018. Now i receive another notice that the air bag replacement will probably be another 3 to 6 months. I am extremely upset with how this situation has been handled and looks like it is now time to get legal assistance. I have been more than patient.
Takata recall--i was sent a recall notice #16v-384 in july of 2016. The vehicle is not to have any passengers in the front passenger seat because of metal fragments which can cause serious injury. I have called many times about the fix and have been told the next quarter they will have the repairs. That quarter goes and it will be in the next quarter. It has now went almost 2.5 years. It makes the vehicle not very useful when you can't use the front passenger seat. Ford needs to get this resolved. I have been very patient.

I have a preteen boy and have to carpool for sports activities. I can no longer have anyone sit in my passenger side seat. Our cars have been knowingly unsafe for over a year. How many people have to be injured or worse before our cars are fixed.
Takata recall.ford issued the recall to replace the front passenger airbag on june 1, 2016, and yet nearly five months later still has not come up with a solution.please help!!i am afraid to drive my car with a passenger in the front seat.
Takata recalli received a recall letter in july 2016. I just called the ford dealer, and they said there are still no airbags available for this recall. My question is what is a timely manner? i waited over a year and 3 months and still noreplacement. If this is a safety recall, ford and its vendors are not making efforts to fix this. In fact i think takata and ford are really not concerned about my safety...

Takata recall never notified by manufacturer or dealer ship when i take my vehicle in for service that the recall affects my vehicle. I recently had a service as well at the ford dealer.
Takata recall -- we were notified of this recall back in june of 2016 and each time i've called or checked online to see if there is an issue, i'm told there are no parts, yet. This is rather serious because i'd rather the problem not show itself while i'm driving with my wife in the passenger seat. It's really something that needs to be taken care of immediately.from my understanding, the reason for the recall is because of shrapnel in the passenger airbag. I don't want to have an accident in order to find out if my vehicle is affected by this. A fix needs to be found immediately or my vehicle needs to be replaced with one that doesn't have this problem because my vehicle is unsafe to drive with passengers until it's done.
Takata recall.i filed a request with bill currie ford for replacement of my takata airbags over a year ago.they still are saying they do not have parts in stock for the passenger side.they sold me this vehicle in 2014 knowing that this was a problem and did not reveal the problem at the time.for over a year they have failed to respond to replacing my airbags even though i have requested it 3 times.they are finally replacing the driver's side airbag next week but are saying they still do not have parts for the passenger side.

Takata recalli have received several letters about the takata recall from ford and from the department of motor vehicles. Unfortunately, ford does not have my airbag available.

I then proceeded to contact jim hudson ford dealership,1201 west main street, lexington, sc at (803) 359-4114 on 10/24/17 at 3:00pm attempting to make an appointment for my vehicle airbags to be replaced at no cost. I was told that the dealership had not received and will not receive replacement airbags, and that they had no further information. I called 1800-327-4236 and could not get a live agent on the phone and the system hung up on me. What do we do to resolve this issue as this is highly dangerous?
Takata recall - i was notified of this recall almost a full year ago.however, there has been no resolution.more often than not, there are passengers in my vehicle, and i (we) would like the reassurance of having this recall completed so that we know we are safe riding in this vehicle.i have called the dealerships a few times, and have been informed that the parts needed for this recall have not even been produced yet.please let me know when i may expect this issue to be resolved.
Had recall back in 2016 but still have not been contacted about replacement.

Takata recall - received a letter today from ford that the remedy parts have been delayed. The first notification dates back to june 2016. Ford's recent request to delay the recall failed, but now we are being notified that the parts are not going to be available at the timeline stated in june 2016 notice, with no firm timeline indicating when they will be available. Meanwhile, ford is directing me to not use my passenger seat. This is not a timely recall repair, and it is leaving consumers limited in how they utilize their vehicles.
I have not been notified by ford as of july 11, 2017 of this takata airbag defect.manufacturer recall number16s26 nhtsa recall number16v384
Takata recalli received a letter regarding nhtsa recall 16v-384 in december of 2017 stating that ford discovered a severe safety risk in the passenger airbag of my vehicle in july 2016. Almost a year later, in november of 2018 i received another letter that said parts are available for my vehicle and i should call a dealer to schedule an appointment. I called the dealership and scheduled an appointment on december 3, but they said i would have to wait until the part arrived. It has been almost 3 weeks since i made the appointment, and that is nowhere near the amount of time my wife and i have waited for ford to even have parts available for our vehicle. I am beyond frustrated that every time i drive the car with anyone else they either have to sit in the back or risk metal shrapnel in the case of an accident. This is an especially relevant fear during the winter months when icy road conditions make accidents much more likely. I am extremely disappointed that ford has known about this issue for 2 and a half years and i am still waiting for a fix for my vehicle. I know i am not the only one waiting, and that makes it even more appalling that ford has not been more timely in fixing this recall.

Takata a recall
Auto transmission will not shift, engine revs and no power, wrench light airbag warning lights,dead speedo, odometer shows dashes.had trans fluid changed. No help.i have seen several problems noted on the internet. Dealers are not fixing the problem by rebuilding the trans for several thousand dollars. The trans failing should not affect the various electrical problems associated with this incident.the system will reset if the engine is turned off and then restarted with nothing indicating a problem. There doesnt appear to be any codes set.i urge ford to embrace these problems before someone is hurt because the trans "jumps" out of gear and causes an accident.this reported problem should not be "news" to your complaints department.i have chosen to always prefer a ford products during my 50 years of driving and expect an honest, thorough and concise investigation be given to this problem.

I was sold a car from a car dealershipin 2016 that had an airbag recall. My truck was purchased in 2016 and the takata airbag recall has been out since around 2014. I do not understand how this could happen with people dying from this defected airbag and severely injured. I also had a wreck in this vehicle in 2017 and i am grateful the airbag did not come because i am a mother of two children.i've sent my car to ford on several occasions for maintenance and no one told me about the recall. It wasn't until june 2018, i was informed. The letter stated it was the second notice but it was actual my first letter.i was offered a rental vehicle, that i am currently in now.they are asking for me to return the vehicle but my husband has it in another state. He is co-owner of the vehicle. He didn't want me to drive it and neither is he. It is not safe to drive with my small children. I am asking for an extension on the rental or some type of reimbursement for my safety and troubles. Ive spent over 5,000 dollars in repairs on a car that had a airbag recall way before it was purchased.

Takata recall:hello, i am submitting my second complaint on behalf of my daughters car which has a passenger seat air bag recall.i keep seeing on nbc nightly news as well as others that the cars that will be getting air bags replaced first are those in the south where its hot and humid.this weather is not good for these recalled air bags.well my daughter goes to college in gainesville florida where its 100 degrees and 90% humidity in the summers.she has already spent a summer up there with the recalled air bag and is going to spend another summer there working.we are very concerned for her safety as well as her young adult passengers.college students always have multiple passengers in their cars and this worries me so much.the safety of her friends is in jeopardy.just because its her car doesn't mean she is not a passenger in her own car.there are many times someone else was driving and she is now the passenger.please, please, please see what you can do to expedite the repair of the passenger air bag in her car.she lives in an area that is supposed to have these air bags already repaired.this coming july will be 1 yr since we received the recall letter.i am afraid that a law suit will be coming when someone gets injured as i have submitted multiple complaints as well as many many phone calls to ford and nhtsa.it should not be taking this long especially where the car is.i hope to be receiving the letter in the mail that her new air bag is ready to be installed and to take it to the nearest ford dealer.thank you very much for hearing me.... Sincerely,a very worried father for her daughters safety.

Ford edge recall on airbags was first issue on june 1st, 2016.it is no february 2nd, 2017, which is 8 months later, and no further information on fixing this defect has been mailed to us by ford.this is an excessive amount of time to remedy their defect so i'm placing a complaint for lack of responsiveness by ford.
My complaint is not due to a specific incident but that this recall is not being answered to in a timely manner. The ford motor company has now had 5 months to come up with a solution forthis recall why tens of thousands of drivers are being put at risk because of their complacency. Additionally, this vehicle provides income for my family as up to the point of the recall, we're using it through the rental service "turo" which has now restricted our vehicle and will not allow it to be rented. This has caused additional undue financial hardship on our family as we had a projected income for the summer that was ruined due to ford's lack of care for producing a repair for this recall in a timely manner.

Takata recall
I received a recall notice for my vin# in march 2017; 17s01/nhtsa recall 17v-024; there was a serious defect with my takata passenger-side airbag system (by takata inflators).the notice states: inflator may rupture in the event of crash necessitating airbag deployment resulting in metal fragments (shrapnel from the dash) striking occupants cuasing serious injury or death. I have grandchildren who ride in my car! my car is absolutely off limits-a death trap, unsafe to drive!i contacted at 13 ford dealers, each told me there aren't any forthcoming parts, unavailable due to takata's bankruptcy. Ford has repaired some vehicles but not mine and is responsible to take alternate measures to assure me of a safe vehicle! i've spent $32,000 on that "pre-owned" vehicle from a ford dealership, and another $5,200 in repairs since purchasing and only drove it for 35,000 miles. I regularly maintained & serviced this vehicle. The defects were never detected.
I received a recall notice for the passenger side air bag inflator of this vehicle in july 2016.in december 2017 i received another letter stating that parts were still not available and would not be available until at soonest the spring of 2018.ford recommended not letting anyonesit in the front passenger seat until repairs were made.are they @#$%& kidding?this is an entirely unacceptable response and a ridiculous suggestion.a response timeline of two years for a potentially deadly situation and a suggestion that makes the car almost unusable is not acceptable.i wish to file the most strenuous complaint possible.

Takata recall was issued june 1, 2016 and the parts are still not available.themanufacturer is taking way too long to provide replacement parts.i have contacted every dealership within 50 miles and none of them have replacement parts.the nhtsa search also indicates that no replacement is available yet.this is extremely unsafe and a replacement needs to be issued immediately.
I was notified by ford in july of 2016 that there is an existing recall of the defective passenger frontal airbag inflator in my vehicle.i immediately notified my local ford dealership, peacock ford (formerly known as don reid ford), where the car was purchased to schedule the repair and was informed that the parts were not available.since that time, i have made repeated phone calls to the same ford dealership to remedy the life-threatening situation that i have been faced with on a daily basis as i drive my vehicle.
I was driving to my mothers house on 11/10/19. Whole is was driving on route 1a my air bag exploded and it caused me to crash and it totaled my car. The news reporters came to the seen it aired for 2 days on channel 5 news. There has been a recall on my air bags since 2017 and ford didn't have the parts to my car to fix the issue they also didn't have the parts in 2018 as well and ford just place another recall on my vechile as well in february 2019 for the air bags again. This issue almost cost me my life. The town the accident took place was in walpole,ma on main street.
The nhtsa says vehicles are being prioritized based on the likelihood of danger. Factors include the age of your car and where you live. This is due to the fact that there's a link between malfunctioning air bags and long-term exposure to heat and high humidity. I am in zone b but i am a 5 minute drive from south carolina. So my question is does that mean because i am 5 miles from south carolina, is my faulty airbag safer than the vehicles with the faulty takata airbagsin sc, zone a ? i first received notice july, 2016. Now ford has rented me a vehicle (sardine can) because they don't know when replacement parts will be available. The fact that they knew long before this vehicle was available for sale that the airbags were unsafe, is tantamount to criminal negligence. If they aren't called to task they will continue endangering lives in order to increase the value of their stock. Made in america used to mean something, not anymore. At approximately 20,000 putting the car in drive or reverse it makes some clunking noise and hesitates before it engages. On an incline the car rolls back and you have to work gas and brake together, this is a automatic, not a stick shift. At 71 i do not appreciate that ford has been playing russian roulette with the lives of my mom, daughter, granddaughters & great grandchildren, this vehicle hasn't been safe from the day it rolled off the assembly line.
Had a recall and they have yet to repair defective part after a year and a half. This is absolutely unacceptable. If they can build new cars with these airbags then the fact they cannot fix this is apparently on purpose. I feel a class action suit is the only remedy available to consumers.
Takata recall i have first contacted ford and spoke to rachael a customer service representative for recalls she didnt help me she just put me through the survey line then on saturday i called ford in otrawa il i spoke to arron brian then mike who was the manager and said theres nothing he can do because ford wont reimburse him or the company i just heard a huge metal as if it fell off my left front tire i keep having low air on it this scares me as i told them i have kids why wouldnt they help?

I have called ford and ford dealers over and over but no resolution.i can have someone ride in the passage seat for fear of death with the airbag on or off.i find this unacceptable they can't come up with a remedy after a year!

Notified of airbag safety recall nhtsa 19v-001, safety recall notice 19s01 yet, i have attempted many times to make an appointment with planet lincoln/planet ford in humble and woodlands, tx. When they discover i need a loaner no appointment is ever made. They promise to call back when a loaner is available and never do. Ford and lincoln send me notification regularly that this needs to me taken care of. I have related the same to them. I suppose they think they won't be held responsible if something happens to my airbags, but they will. I have names, dates, and conversations documented.
I got a notice by mail that my passenger airbag may rupture if used. There is a recall. It has been over a year and no ford dealership will fix it, telling me that they don't have the parts.i have spoken to several dealership managers, and even called ford headquarters and they created a case number because i was telling them that this is not right to make me wait so long to drive a safe car and that they were putting my family at risk due to their negligence.

Takata recall
Takata recall-i got the recall notice just a few weeks ago. I do not want to be driving this vehicle with my wife or children anymore until i know it is fixed. I have called ford dealers and they said it won't be fixed for sometime and there are no loaner or rental cars available. So now i have an unsafe vehicle that my wife or kids could be seriously injured in or killed and ford won't do anything about it. I am also paying on this vehicle.

Takata recall. My complaint is it seems like this recall isn't being completed in a timely manner. I received the recall in july 2016, contacted ford in october 2016 and as od december 2016 still no action. That is nearly six months. I believe that something that could rupture and send metal fragments striking occupants should not be taking this long to repair. Any information and a time line for repair would be great. Thank you for your reply. Concerned recall car owner

Re: recall from june 2016 (recall # 16s26). I still have not been notified as to a remedy for this recall. I received a notice over a year ago, but it was simply a "heads up" indicating that there was an issue with the airbags and it said i would be notified by mail when a solution was available. I am concerned that it has been over a year and my car has still not been serviced for this recall due to "no remedy available" yet.
I received a letter from ford in june of 2016 that one of the airbags in my car is defective. My car has a takata airbag which is known to severely harm or kill the occupant of the vehicle if the vehicle should be involved in an accident where the airbag is deployed. It has been 15 months since the initial notice was sent and no remedy has been made available to me. I would like a remedy asap.
Takata inflators. Why does this problem continue to exist? ford has went so far as to tell my family not to ride in the front seat of this car. This problem has went on for over two years and i must use this car for our family car. We travel extensively and need to use this car. I have a 2005 dodge pick-up that had the same problem and the problem was corrected in a timely fascion. I find it hard to believe the nhsta would allow ford to get away with this problem for so long seeing as to the seriousness of this problem. Please reassure me and my family that we will be safe in this car while waiting for repairs. Latest recall notice i received from ford stated the air bags may be here by the second or third quarted of thisyear, however this is not the firest time we have been told they were coming. I feel ford is stalling all the owners of their product. Would u please research this situation and advise us.
Takata recall.dealership has not taken action to address this recall and my airbags have not yet been replaced although it has been over a year since i was notified of the recall.
Airbags did not deploy and police and emt's said they should have gone of. The vehicle at faults airbags went off. This 2008 ford edge has faulty airbags! this vehicle was on a state road and had the right of way. Accident report is still being worked on at meredith police department , nh.
I received a legal notice and realized that they still don't have a remedy for the recall. I received the first notice over a year ago.
Takata recall:i have called our local ford dealer 3 times over the last year.each time they note that they do not have the parts for the recall, and do not know when they will have them.so far, thankfully, i have not been involved in an accident that would result in airbag deployment, but am very fearful should that happen.the fact that ford can get away with this is concerning.thank you for any help you can provide.

Takata recallnhtsa recall number: 16v384this recall was issued in june of 2016.the recall states, "the passenger frontal airbag inflator could rupture if the vehicle is involved in a crash..."it is now february 2018, nearly 2 years later and ford states that parts are still not available.ford has advised me to "not allow anyone to sit in the passenger seat."it is completely unreasonable for me to not allow anyone to sit in my front passenger seat for nearly 2 years and still not have the parts to complete this recall.this is a serious safety issue and it is not being handled in a "timely manner" as required by the nhtsa.
Takata recallcontacted dealer about the rental offer.only to find out that if would cost me $255 for the first month if i take the rental.so i am still left without a safe way to travel to and from work and with my 4 yr old daughter in the back seat it this is not ok!

Takata recallwe received notification of a takata passenger side front airbag recall from the ford motor company in july of 2016. We were told by our local dealer that no airbags were available. We have checked multiple times in the time since then and have been told repeatedly that no airbags are available. Last year we were told the airbags were expected in the final quarter of 2016. We have been informed that the airbags are still not available as of 10/2017. A call to the ford motor company in 11/2016 was answered with just drive your vehicle and we will let you know when airbags are available. We really wish to have this airbag replaced before someone gets injured. Waiting over a year to have this replaced seems like an unreasonable length of time to wait for this repair.

Takata recallthe warning letter 12/17 said not to let anyone sit in the front passenger seat.i took this very seriously and even rented a car when the entire family traveled together to avoid putting someone in that seat.on june 20, 2018, my daughter was driving our edge.she was hit by someone who ran the red light.the driver front wheel area and bumper area were taken off.the oil pan and wheel chassis were damaged as well.the vehicle was claimed a "total loss."none of the airbags went off.the accident occurred on 6/20/2018.i had requested a rental car under the "recall notice" on 6/11/2018 from ford autonation.on 6/11/2018 autonation said they could only put me in a ford150.as i am too short and not able to see very well over the steering wheel as well as it hurts my hip to get up in a truck that high.therefore i requested a car similar to the edge.after calls and visiting autonation, they never called me back after the one conversation on 6/11.then i called ford on 6/18/2018 who gave me a case number and sent to a different auto dealership.the rental car is just ready for pickup today.

My largest complaint is that my father who owns a 2008 dodge dakota got the very same recall and has had his fixed and replaced in a timely manner. My vehicle however seems to be setting on the back burner awaiting this fix since my initial letter was received. It will be 2 years in july that i have been waiting for this fix to happen and i refuse to, or cannot, park my vehicle as it is my only form of transportation. Therefore my passengers, as well as my own, life is on the line because of this serious snafu.

Is there any thing that ntsb can do to get this completed?
Takata recall -have been waiting months to get this fixed.spoke with a dealer again this morning and still no resolution in sight!
As a result of the recall & chpt. 11 filing, (tk holdings inc.) i called local vehicle dealership for replacement of defective airbag. I was told there was not a replacement available. They had no other information on subject.they suggested i follow though with instructions on chapter 11 notice.i expect a from tk holdings a free replacement of defective equipment.

"takata recall"was notified of the airbag recall by letter from the ford company dated july 2016. I contacted the dealership and on numerous occasions they have told me that they were still waiting on parts.
Takata recallfirst notified on in oct.2017. Called dealer who said no parts available and he would call me. I have communicated with dealership directly and still no calls. Received second letter in june 2018. Called dealer, still no parts. Nhtsa and takata indicated on website fordowner.com ,that highest risk vehicles include older vehicles in areas with high heat and humidity, i live in georgia where most of the summer can be described in this way. It is 9/14 and the temp is 92 with high humidity. My car is old: 2008. Ford customer relations center gave me a case #15376127-d7d7k9 and told me not to let anyone sit in the passenger seat.very inconvenient to have to ask friends and relatives to sit in the back seat! online reports tell me supplies are being restored. Why is ford not taking care of its customers. Why is there not a lawsuit to hasten these recalls? how can the nhtsa help me and others with this recall? i am not uploading letters, for i am sure that you are very familiar with them.
I received a notice of takata recall 1year ago that stated i would be contacted when a replacement was available. No contact yet.
Takata recall.we would like a rental until the replacement bag is ready like honda is doing for their customers so that we won't have to worry about the airbag.thank you for helping us.
Takata recall
Takata recall ---- still have not received notification that they are able to take care of the problem.
Takata recall - it has been over 2 years since the beginning of this recall and we'd like to get these replaced as soon as possible.
Takata recall - as of today the dealership has been unable to replace the defective airbags due to the failure of the manufacturer to provide the replacement part.i am fearful of an unintended inflation or failure to deflate in the instance of a crash.
Takata recall- dealership says there are no parts available-recall was over a year ago and there are no parts available; this seems dangerous with the information provided by a recent note about the possibility of tk holdings going bankrupt.
I've reached out to my ford dealers for over a year in regards to the notices i've recieved in the the mail. I keep gettingthe run around that don't have the the parts in stock. I called last week they said parts would be in this week. Calledagain & was hung up on. I am beyond frustrated with this matter in regards to my safety as well as my passengers!
Takata recallcannot get replacement parts. Very dangerous.

New ulm, minnesota (507) 794-3621 tells me they have not been given the okay to make repairs. Nothing has happened yet with the airbags i want to get them replaced before it does.

Takata inflators this is my second complaint.the first one, made in december 2017, does not show up under the complaints section, which makes it seem like perhaps all of the complaints are not recorded appropriately by the nhtsa!the first notification of the airbag recall was received in july 2016.each time i have called the dealership since then, i have been told replacement airbags are still unavailable for my 2008 ford edge.i see on this site that some owners have received a letter telling them not to use the front passenger seat.that would be completely unacceptable, as the reason we purchased the ford edge was so that we would have enough seats to safely transport our family members. There is no way to disable the airbags, according to the vehicle's manual, and i am terrifiedthe airbag will cause death or serious injuries to me, my spouse, one of my children or grandchildren.it is taking a toll on my physical and mental well-being whenever i have to drive my car. I cannot sell my car thru carmax or one of the other sites, because they do not accept vehicles with unaddressed recalls. And it would be morally and ethically wrong to sell a dangerously defective vehicle to another individual without disclosing the airbag defect.and who would want to buy a defective vehicle! so i cannot even purchase a new safe vehicle in which to transport my loved ones!!this airbag recall situation has already taken an unreasonable amount of time to resolve; with no anticipated resolution in the future!does anyone at the nhtsa have any idea when this situation might be resolved?thank you.
Takata recall- i have been notified of the recall and every ford dealer i have called has said they don't have the parts and they have no idea when they will be available. This is absolutely unacceptable. New york state dmv sent a notice that this is an urgent recall and if the air bag randomly deploys it can cause serious harm to anyone in the car. How can i repair my car if parts are not available, this is outrageous. I would very much like to have the repairs done so i will have peace of mind and feel safe driving my car.
I am losing money as i use my ford edge for uber driving and can not use the rental ford is paying for to drive uber.so far ford has paid close to $3000 for the rental and my car is only worth $4000.seems they should just buy my car from me this is taking way too long and i'm about to get evicted because i can't work my extra job
Tail light sockets melting causing the bulbs to blow and not work. Have had to change both sides three times now. Also the takata airbag has still not been replaced. The dealership stated they still do not have the parts to fix it. I am very concerned about both these things.
Takata recall notice was sent to me on july 2016 by the ford motor company. This "important safety recall" states that my inflator is likely defective and needs to be replaced. It has now been well over 1yr and ford has still not contacted me again to initiate repair. My local dealer states they will send out notice once a "solution" is found. I am uncertain what solution is needed besides a new inflator. It feels as if i am driving around a potentially dangerous vehicle due to inaction.

Takata recall - i have had a recall letter from ford since july 2016 and cannot get the recall completed. Local dealership now claims that i will be at the end of the process because of lower humidity here than other areas where recall needs to be performed. Dealership also claims replacement factory (to make replacement airbag system) burned down. I have not had a wreck to cause the airbags to deploy, but am worried about what could happen if this is not remedied soon. I have now received notice that takata has filed bankruptcy.

This has been on the recall page since 2016 and we still have not received a notice to get this fixed. I am afraid that if we were in an accident that we would be harmed by this airbag.
I have had a recall on the takata airbags for approximately 1 year and ford is unable to fix due to unavailable replacement parts.we have tried several ford service centers in ny and pa.i received a letter from dmv which states that the situation could "kill or seriously injure you and your passengers...".i am shocked that ford isn't doing more to remedy this situation as soon as possible.

Takata airbag inflator! received a long overdue letter from the ford motor company to take my vehicle in to a ford dealer and have the inflator fixed and made an appointment and took it in! was told it would take about 2 hours! a few hours later my vehicle hadn"t been moved and they said they had more important jobs to do and were not sure if they would get to it! i had my son take it in and he was very upset and left! they have been very rude at this dealership before! so it seems that since this was a freebie it wasn't important to them to fix thisproblem!
Takata recall was issued over a year ago for my vehicle and there still isn't a remedy for my vehicle yet.
Takata air bag recall
Takata recall'', i received a letter last year about the airbag recall and never heard anything else until october 2017 a postcard saying the takata company has filed bankrupt and the parts are not yet available. I get a letter in december stating that the parts are still unavailable and maybe by spring 2018 i should get my airbag replaced on the driver side and i was also instructed not to have any passengers on the passenger side or the airbag will erupt and could cause injury or even death. I was reading in the newspaper about the same airbag in honda and the driver airbag erupted and the driver was killed, how am i surpose tobelieve that my passengerside is only defected and not both. I also use my car for my job, i transport me clients to their outing, and appointments this is certainly a inconvenience to me and possibly not having a job.this situation needs to be correctly before it causes a hardship on me and many others who are experiencing this recall as to this date i have not had a problem or every been in a accident with me ford 2008 edge, i want to feel safe while i drive and when i am driving others. Please respond to my complaint and take in consideration this may happen to me after the december 27th 2017 deadline to complain.
The takata recall happened well over a year ago but we have yet to receive a ford recall so in the meantime our daughter continues to drive with this dangerous airbag. Why is it taking ford so long to perform the replacement or are they even recalling anything at this point?
Takata recall.my daughters ford edge received the recall letter that said the passenger air bag was recalled.the drivers was not, only the passenger.she is in college and frequently has other students in her car and i am very concerned about the safety of others or my daughter if she happens to not be driving the car and is a passenger.we have not received any information on when the passenger air bag will be replaced.it has been a very long time since we received the letter and can you please find out what is going on with this.i need the airbag replaced asap!thank you.
Takata recalli received the recall notice in july 2016. I have spoken to my dealer several times about when my air bag replacementwill be taken care of. They had no answer except to say my vehicle was not from or in a region that experiences excessive hot temperatures. Therefore, my vehicle is not considered to be a vital concern. My vehicle was manufactured and shipped to arizona where it spent 4 years until i bought it in 2012 and brought it to michigan. Arizona's temperatures are excessively hot. So, i don't understand why my vehicle wouldn't be at the top of the repair list. If i wanted to sell it no one will buy it unless the air bag has beenreplaced.

On 3/22/11 i was involved in a collision with 4 other vehicles; my 2008 ford edge limited was totaled. None of my airbags deployed. The driver side was so smashed; they were unable to get me out that way so they made me crawl out of the passenger side, which was difficult b/c all the damage was the front and driver side, and i was wedged in. Officials, witnesses, and the other drivers involved in the accident were amazed that i survived the accident, according to them i should have been dead; they were shocked i was 'ok'.the claim has been processed; lien holders are being paid and my portion will direct deposited next week.thething is, i'm not ok. Airbags are there for the protection of driver and passengers, but none of my airbags deployed (easily verifiable). I don't want a long drug out lawsuit with ford for the airbag issue. All i want is a new ford edge limited of my choosingwith free maintenance, parts (i'll pay labor) for as long as i own the car. If they will not honor my request, i will notify tv stations, radio and an attorney.

"takata recall"takata recall 16v-384 hello. I received a recall notice in july 2016 regarding air bag replacement on my 2008 ford edge. It said parts were not available, and i would be notified again when it was available. In october of 2016 i received military orders to move from california to belgium, and brought my car with me. I received another notice in nov 2018 that the part was now available. I have since contacted ford several times via the customer service number provided on the recall form. The representatives have repeatedly given me misinformation. During my last call with customer service just yesterday, it was confirmed by the representative, that due to my current residence in belgium, replacing the airbag was just not an option. She said the ford recall computer does not connect with belgium. When i contacted a belgium ford dealer, they had no idea what i was talking about, no visibility to the recall. The dealer here also told me they have had to turn away numerous others in my same situation. I don't know what else to do now. We have a family of four, and i am worried about their safety. I will not be back in the u.s. For at least 3 years, maybe longer. Help!?thank you. W.s.

I have called on many occasions and went to dealershipsto have my 2008 ford edge airbags replaced each time i'm told tht there are no parts. I am very concerned because of the danger this unfixed problem puts me and my family into.
I was driving down the highway when my speedometer and odometer stopped working.then it told me i had a error and a fault in my tire pressure system.my airbag light came on, indicating that it was off.i pulled over and turned off the vehicle.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 am reading thousands of reviews about the edge that experiences the same problems.lets issue a recall and develop some accountability!

Sent me a letter telling me i was entitled to a free rental until my car has been replaced. The refuse to help me with this also saying this process takes several weeks to get me into a rental. It has now been 2 weeks since i requested a rental and they continue to give the runaround hoping i will give up. Can the ntsb help me?

Takata recallsafety recall notice 16s26/nhtsa recall 16v-384i have contacted el cajon ford, (where i purchased a new ford edge in 2008), several times since july, 2016, to have the unsafe airbags replaced. Those contacts were a result of an important safety recall letter from the ford motor company, received in july 2016. Each time, i was told there were no airbags available yet. As of today, 11/7/17, the dealer's service representative again stated that ford still has not identified a substitutefor the defective takata airbags, nor has ford made any airbags available to the dealership for the takata replacement.i am very concerned about the safety of front seat passengers in my 2008 ford edge.also, it is my understanding that i cannot sell my vehicle until the recalled airbags are replaced. This has created a financial hardship for me, as i have been unable to replace the edge with a more mileage-efficient vehicle..
I have owned the vehicle since september 5 2017 and was told by drive time that if i call the dealership that i can get my vehicle in right away for the repair but when i contacted the dealership they say that the part is not being produced. I have handicap people who ride in my vehicle that can be hurt if the airbag deploys.

Takata recalli received a letter yesterday, from the ford motor co. The letter clearly stated that my vehicle was not involved in the takata recall, but to call the dealer and set up an appointment to have the airbags replaced. After reading this letter, i went onto the nhtsa website and input the vin number of my vehicle, and found that the vehicle is involved in the recall. Ford motor co had misrepresented the facts, and i nearly threw the letter in the trash because it stated my vehicle was not under the recall.

Takata recall - i have received several letters about this recall yet there still are not any parts available. Most recently was a letter from the nys dmv warning of the danger of driving my vehicle without the airbag repaired and that i could get a rental vehicle until parts are available and my vehicle is repaired. I called my local dealer today and was told that the parts still are not available, they should be by end of september, and to call back then. When i asked about a rental vehicle as instructed in letters from both ford and the nys dmv, i was told that rental vehicles are also not available. When checking for more info, there is indication that my vehicle is still driveable. Is it really safe to drive or not? why am i told to get this "potentially lifesaving repair" and parts are available if they are not? if it is a "potentially lifesaving repair" then should i really be driving my car?

Takata recall - i received a recall letter regarding the problem with the passenger airbag in my 2008 ford edge. My problem is arlington heights ford is saying that they will not be able to fix it for at least a year because they don't have the part. In the mean time, i am not supposed to have anyone ride in the front passenger seat. I drive my daughter and nieces and nephews all the time that have to be in car seats in the back seat, which leave my 12 year old son in the front seat. I have no other option to drive the children around. It is unacceptable for this to not be fixed for a year. This isa life threatening problem, and needs to be resolved immediately.
Takata recall -i just checked the status online to see if there's been any new updates and there hasn't. It's going on a year and the parts are still not available is what i'm being told when i call ford. This is ridiculous! we're taking about an airbag which is pretty [xxx] important to have. To have to have people sit in the backseat is a huge inconvenience especially if you need all the available seating in the car for your family.other vehicles with the same issues have been fixed months ago why are ford customers still waiting ?!?!!information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

Takata recall.my edge is a 2008.all that i read advised older vehicles are at a higher risk.i believe a 10 year old vehicles qualifies as "older".i am not able to take a second person with me anywhere unless they sit in the back seat.the last info i received has scared me.i am not in a position to purchase a new car and i feel that it is beyond time that this issue is taken care of.you can not contact ford about this.i was told by one of their representatives that their email has been remove because of the number of complaints.i paid for a 5 passenger vehicle and it is now a 4 passenger because of this issue.local ford dealers have pretty much written the issue off and honestly i guess it is beyond their control to do anything.ford won't take complaints. I am beyond frustrated with this issue

Takata recalli received this recall notice way over a year ago, and have been reluctant t o travel with someone in the front, passenger seat of my car since reading that it can potentially explode if the air bags were to be deployed. Like i said, i got this over a year ago and have not heard anything from ford (i even called many times)... And a year seems like more than enough time to find a solution to this.

Takata recall for passager airbag haven't heard from anyone so i can get this replaced
I was traveling north on old mill rd in anderson, sc.i stopped at the stop sign and proceeded to cross the highway hwy 76. I had cleared the first lane and this car drifted from the right lane into the lane i was crossing broad siding my car none of the air bags deployed leaving me with glass everywhere. My drivers side door was completely pushed in that i had to be extracted through the back door on a backboard. The impact pushed my car back on to the highway going east. The left front wheel flew off the car landing onthe other side of the highway. Also thedoor lekift front spring disengaged. I could have been killed.
Vehicle was taken to power ford in valencia for standard service a week ago.41,000 miles new tires bought- was told all was ok. One week later i am driving when suddenly speedometer stops and mileage is reading --- grinding noise then a wrench icon appears which means the powertrain is malfunctioning, then the air bag light went on and then an !icon which means there is a problem with tires. Terrified, i called power ford and told to bring it in... I was less than a half a mile away, and put on my hazard lights and barely made it the few clocks to the dealership. This is a haunting problem that i have read at least a dozen comments about the power train. Had i been ion the freeway i don't think i would be alive. Please investigate this issue with the ford edge. I did not know the outcome at all. Thank you

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 thepower trainfaulty sensors near the transmission need to be replaced costing over $800,00, as for the airbag i haven't received a invoice yet.

Takata airbag
Takata recall - received first notice july 2016- still waiting. I am in zone b but 5 minutes away from south carolina. Thia area 28722 nc should be same as zone a, same humidity, and temperatures. It is like playing russian roulette every time i have to drive. I have under 50,000 miles on this vehicle. According to trial transcripts ford knew of the danger in 2005, why were ever allowed to put these vehicles on the market? shareholders that is the reason and the vehicle owners be [xxx]. I missed the window of "lemon law" because they should have notified me years sooner than 2016!information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Takata recall***" received notice in july 2016 that my vehicle has been identified in the takata recall, for a defective front passenger air bag inflator. At first the notice, and then several subsequent calls to ford motor company headquarters, all stated it was safe to carry a front pasdenger.as others months and months passed without any notice. I made several calls to my local ford dealer over the 18 month period, requesting an appointment for replacement. They actually treated me as if i was stupid for calling without having an official notice to replace the part.finally i received another notice saying parts will be available in the spring, but also staying "do not drive with a passenger in the front seat." fortunately and unfortunately, we have not used the vehicle with a front passenger. So, for the past 21 months i have had only a 1 passenger vehicle, which us in excellent condition and has only 88,000 miles on it.this has been an unbelievable, ridiculous situation for all.

On july 2016, i receiveda recall notice for passenger frontal air bag defect. I decided to call on to get an update on feb 22,2017 to my dealer greenway ford. They said the parts are not in yet. I told manager i was concerned since my line of work is to drivecustomers in my car. I asked for rental. He said to call ford motor company. I didand before i got a representative on line , the recording played that not only may death and injury result from malfunction but other passengers may get injured as well. When i spoke to someone about my concern all he could do is continue to tell me that they don't provide rental cars and i would have to wait until part came in. I want to file complaint because i do not want to wait around for even myself as driver get injured or possibly die.

Takata recall. I was notified of this recall in july 2016. I contacted my local ford dealer and was told this repair could not be done for a while. I have been checking back with them to no avail. In june of 2018, i received a letter that the repair would be in sept of 2018. I checked with the dealer in sept. And was told that they still did not have the parts, but it would be any day now. I check again in oct. An was told that ford made an error in shipping out the parts to the dealers and now they do not know when the repair will be done. They told me they have no way to contact ford and get any answers. In the meantime, this is our only auto and we cannot afford a rental. This is dangerous and it needs to be completed now> it appears that the local dealer does not have control of this matter. It is ford that is not completing the repair. It is now time for the gov. To get involved in this and resolve this recall before someone is seriously hurt or worse.please!!

Takata recalli purchased this suv from north star ford in duluth, mn. I have received several air bag recall notices from ford & stopped in 5-6 times in 2 years. First i was told there were no parts for the fix, now i am told the part manufacturer has filed for bankruptcy & in all likelihood, there will never be a repair.but ford is not declaring bankruptcy and i believe it is a ford manufacturer and dealership issue.we should be paid for the risk and for the3 diminished re-sale value due to the known defect.

Takata recall.i show a recall on my ford edge 2008 from june of 2016. I have not received any additional information on this, and would like to know when my car will be safe to drive with someone in the passenger side.
Ford had sent recall notice not to have anyone in passengers seat until airbag is replaced but also states the parts won't be available until spring 2018. This is too long to wait for a fix for something that can cause bodily injury.
I have been trying to get my airbag recall taken care of on my ford edge for over a year now, possibly two. I do not understand why ford has only identified one dealership in northern nevada as authorized to do this work. It has created very long wait times and in the meantime, the safety of my family is at risk. Ford should be held liable for all personal injuries until the issue is fixed, especially in situations when recall work is being hindered by ford's business practices. I continue to get letters from ford telling me that they are concerned about my safety and that i need to get my airbag serviced, however, i am not able to do so because of the unacceptable backlog due to the limited number of ford dealerships that are authorized to do this work in our region. I believe the takata airbag recall started around 2015 and here we are 5 years later still struggling to get airbags replaced. I am never going to buy another ford again! other manufacturers seem to be able to help their customers in a much more expedient mannor.
While driving down van born road (heavy traffic) the speedometer stopped and went to 0 mph, the odometer read dashes, the wrench illuminated in the corner, and the airbag warning sign appeared. The rpm's in my vehicle began to climb higher as well and the car speedometer did not indicate any mph and began to decrease,after slowing down at ta red light i noticed my car would barely move and it slowly crept until i got home 1/2 mile from when i noticed the problem start. As soon as i parked other warning lights began flashing such as the tire pressure sign. 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, loud noise as if the engine was dropping out or i was being rear ended. I turned the car off and back on to see if the warning signals were still illuminated and they reset. 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 this morning 8/20/14 and they stated that the transmission is trying to skip first gear and go directly to second gear; my car is currently in the shop. Prior to this incident i experienced occasional jerking while driving and the car was switching gears. It was very scary being a female and not knowing much about mechanics. Only 49,000 miles.
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.
Beneath the drivers seat, there is a loud sound that resignates throughout the vehicle. Also the electrical panel had to be replaced and sensors go off periodically.

Takata recall #16s26/nhtsa recall 16v-384i have called to see if the replacement is available and am being told that there is no replacement available at this time and with takata filing chapter 11 there will have to be another company to make the replacement so i get to wait in limbo until this happens. Ridiculous! i want my family protected the sooner the better.
I have had a recall letter since dec. 2017 and cannot get the dealer to get the replacement for my takata airbag recall. I have seen reports and as a disabled widow of a vet who died do to war, i am worried about driving my edge. What can be done about this?
I have not gotten replacement airbags. After calling several dealerships they say they don't have any replacement parts and i will get a notice when the part comes in.
Takata recall - i continue to get the run around from my local ford dealership about what steps ford is taking to address this recall.despite notice of the recall in july 2016, ford claims it has no idea when any remedy or replacement parts will be available despite the documented risk to health and safety this problem poses.nor can ford offer any alternative solutions.if the recall of these dangerous parts cannot be completed ford should be required to compensate owners and find a way to provide them with safe vehicles.the lack of a fix to this problem 1.5 years (or more) after it being publicly announced is not acceptable.

I was involved in a lateral collision to the driver's side/door at an alleged 25 mph when a subject driving a 97 chevy cavalier, failed to stop at a red traffic signal at an intersection. Subject had a high level of intoxication (.175 bac) & impaired judgment; he continued to accelerate through the intersection striking my vehicle in the driver's side door. I was the sole occupant and driver of the 2008 ford edge. The crash forces did push me through the intersection where my vehicle came to rest several yards from the point of impact. I was not able to open my driver's side window or driver's side door, several emergency personnel pulled and pried on the door until it opened to free me.the police report indicates that there was no airbag deployment; the officer who came to the hospital to follow up also voiced his disbelief that the airbags did not deploy.the property damage appraisers report specifically states that the side impact airbags did not deploy also.there was replacement of the entire left side from bumper to bumper. Includes replacing the l steering tie rod, l center pillar & rocker, l ctr pillar reinforcement, l frt seat assembly, both doors, fenders, underbody repair, seatbelt, alloy wheel/tire, and transmission problems. I'm an occupant protection coordinator & child passenger safety tech/instructor, and in correspondence with my colleagues in the safety industry, we're all shocked at the inoperability of my side impact airbags.i only had about 6500 miles on the vehicle at the time of the crash.i was transported by squad and treated for injuries to the entire left side of my body (specifically my head, shoulder, elbow, hip,) and the right side of my neck. I'm still in need of and receiving medical treatments for the injuries caused by this crash. I field a complaint with ford in oct 08 and submitted the claim to ford (01/18/09).no acknowledgement or response to my claim has been received to date.
When replacing my left rear signal light i noticed that the base of the turn signal bulb was melted. I removed the bulb and replaced with a new one and the turn signal worked fine.even though the right rear signal light was working, i went to replace it as well and noticed that it too had a melted bulb base.
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.
Rear tail lights stopped working. Upon inspection the bulb connector and socket had over heated and melted.
Rear brake/tail light socket on boththe left and right rear of vehicle have overheated and melted the plastic around lamp. Lamp was burnt out.not sure what caused the high heat problem. No fuse was blown, new bulb worked in socket.this problem has happened twice in the last two months.
Rear turn signal bulb meting
The contact owns a 2008 ford edge. While driving 35 mph, the vehicle began to jerk and the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was towed to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the ignition coil exploded and damaged the pcm. Multiple coils and the pcm needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 84,781.
When using the correct bulbs as listed by ford, both rear tail light bulbs continue to melt/burn in their sockets causing frequent bulb failure, smoldering of the socket, and small fire without warning!do a simple online search and you will see how common an issue it is amongst 2008 ford edge owners, yet ford denies all claims!
My turn signal bulb socket fries repeatedly. This will be the fourth time in 2 years replacing it. It burns up the socket and melts the bottom of the light bulb. I got the parts from ford dealership also but i have read online any people having issues with it. It just goes out all of a sudden.
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.

Turned car off and waited couple minutes, restated, warning lights disappeared, odometer back to actual mileage. Put on drive, step on gas, hesitation then loud transmission thump and car started moving again.
The driver door ajar warning is illuminated on the dash and the doom lights wont turn off. I have found out this is a very common issue with fords where the poorly designed door latch binds up. I had this same issue with my 2002 explorer and now with my 2008 edge. 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. From what i can tell i have been lucky to get this far before this issue has surfaced since i have read that ford cars 2 to 3 years old seem to have this very same issue.
Driver door ajar light remains on after closing the door several times. Once lights finally go out, it will pop right on again, even as i was driving. This is extremely dangerous, because we'll never know when the doors are ajar. Even bigger issue is the doors not being unlocked in the process. Just annoyed with this alltogether. Hopefully something will be done about it. It's draining the battery in the process. Thank you.
Driving on the highway the instrument panel stopped working. The odometer dropped to zero while i maintained a steady speed along with gauge measuring rpm. Od data error message appeared. Airbag light and tire pressure lights came on as well. The acceleration immediately did not feel right. From a stop i had very weak acceleration almost none.it improved as i drove but did not feel normal.
The contact owns a 2008 ford edge. Although the doors were closed, the dome light and the door ajar warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to an authorized dealer. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 63,000.
Traveling at highway speed, dashboard lights up with check engine light, airbag light, get odometer failure, speedometer stops working, followed by a tire pressure sensor failure. Transmission stops shifting properly including a loss of power especially when resuming from a stop.
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 canbe restarted in neutral while moving. Dealership has been unable to recreate the problem.
Found the vehicle with a dead battery this morning.battery is only 1.5 months old.jump started the vehicle and then found that while running and doors closed, the door ajar light was on and all dome lights.checked all doors multiple times, still would not shut off.tried to lock doors while engine running and since the car believed a door was opened it immediately unlocked all the doors.not looking forward to traveling with a risk of a dead battery again or on the highway with no ability to lock the doors.seems ford has exact same issues with other models.they need to recall the 08s as well.
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.
Rear turn signal and brake light overheated and started to melt the bulb and connectors.
I bought a used 2008 ford edge, tail light bulb was burnt out soon after i bought it. Went to change the bulb and discovered the socket was burnt up and melted. Checked the other side and had the same issue! this could definitely be a fire hazard! googled the problem and found everyone complaining about the same issue!
The contact owns a 2008 ford edge. The contact stated that the driver side door ajar warning indicator illuminated. The contact mentioned that the automatic door locks had not engaged and the interior dome lights remained illuminated. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure.

I was driving down the highway when my speedometer and odometer stopped working.then it told me i had a error and a fault in my tire pressure system.my airbag light came on, indicating that it was off.i pulled over and turned off the vehicle.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 am reading thousands of reviews about the edge that experiences the same problems.lets issue a recall and develop some accountability!
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.
The contact owns a 2008 ford edge. While driving at any speed, the vehicle would lose power and acceleration, and jerk in addition, the air bag and tire pressure lights illuminated, the odometer gauge failed to provide the actual reading, and error code (odo) indicated a data error with no mileage. The failure recurred numerous times. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who could not replicate the failure. The dealer diagnosed that the code output shaft sensor circuit and the output shaft sensor (no signal p0722) sensor failed and needed to be replaced. The tsso sensor was replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 85,276.
Upon driving home noted my left turn signal was blinking quickly - which i assumed (and found to be correct that the bulb was out.upon arriving home, i check the lights.it was difficult to see, however, i found the light bulb for rear/backup, and turn signal was out, and then noted that my left read lamp/bulb (larger) bulb was black, melted, and required plyers to remove from socket.it appeared to overhead/melt.replacement bulb did work, but uncertain as to the use of the blackened socket.rear brake/tail light socket on the leftrear of vehicle has overheated and melted the plastic around lamp. Lamp was burnt out. Not sure what caused the high heat problem. No fuse was blown, new bulb worked in socket.
I pulled out of my driveway and everything was fine. I pulled out of my neighborhood and as soon as i gave it any good amount of gas it starting driving really rough and shaking and the a/c went out you could hear the misfire on the cylinders and the transmission was revving high before it would shift gears. No check engine lights or anything at this point. I turned back around and took my car back home turned it off and then turned it back on and that's when the check engine light came on. We pulled the code and it was p0352 (ignition coil 2 or pcm) so we bought and changed all spark plugs and coil 2. This still didn't fix the problem. So i took it in to the dealership and $3000 later they had to replace my pcm (the main computer that run the car) all 6 coils and spark plugs. 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.
The contact owns a 2008 ford edge. The contact stated while driving approximately 50 mph, the instrument panel ceased to operate, the headlamps failed to remain illuminated and the vehicle independently decelerated with the air bags warning light illuminated.

The dealer was not contacted or notified of the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 98,000.
Transmission disengages at random while moving in traffic. Once it occurs, vehicle cannot be moved under it's own power. Engine runs, but transmissions slips. High potential for being stranded in traffic and struck. Has occurred at least 4 times. Was able to coast to side of road. Electronics in dash act up, including service wrench and no speedometer. Apparently a known issue by ford (tsb 07-21-11). Lots of common complaints online involving 2007-2008 model edges. Related to faulty sensors (aa5z-7h103-b & aa5z-7m101-b).
About 3 months ago the drivers side front door ajar light was staying on and would not go away even the door was closed.we have been all kinds of other problems related to this problem such as door chimes going off randomly all the time the dome lights will not turn off when car is parked and shut off. The noise and lights are a major distraction.the other problem we have experienced with the vehicle but have had fixed is the two rear wheel bearings have been replaced.the first when the vehicle had only 36,000 plus or minus a thousand or two and the other when we only had 60,000 miles on vehicle.this is expensive and should not go bad in that short of time.we do not pull anything with the vehicle or drive it rough.
The contact owns a 2008 ford edge. While driving approximately 45 mph, the speed decreased independently, the gauges on the instrument panel failed, and the warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was merged to the side of the road where the engine was shut off and attempted to be restarted. The engine started to make an abnormal popping sound. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 126,000.
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 frequentlyi 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.
Rear drivers side turn signal lamp went out, when i went to replace bulb i noticed rear tail lamp turn signal-parking lamp sockets are burnt and would seem to be a possible fire hazard,other people have complained about other ford vehicles with the same condition. But ford doesn't seem to think there is a problem.
The contact owns a 2008 ford edge. The contact stated that the vehicle was parked when informed that dense smoke was emitting from under the hood near the battery.the fire was extinguished by a neighbor and the contact stated that the abs warning light was illuminated prior to the fire. The vehicle would no longer operate and was towed to an authorized dealer who replaced unknown modules and the wiring harness. The contact called the manufacturer and was awaiting a response. The current and failure mileage was approximately 68,000.
Making a left turn using my turn signal, the turn signal lamp on the dashboard started to flash very rapidly.i recognized this as a burned-out lamp.after stopping i checked to find the left rear lamp was not blinking.the basic running light worked however.upon removing the assembly, i found the lamp socket partially melted and charred.i removed the lamp, which tested out to be good.the socket had failed.i then removed the right-hand rear lamp assembly and found that it has been very hot as was somewhat charred.i will replace both.
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!
My radio has a short in the hardware.factory installed radio and it will turn off and turn back on repetitively some days, not allowing me to utilize sync. Transmission has started kicking intermittently for the past month. While driving and slowing down.
The mechanic said the transmission and transfer case exploded costing me over $2,000 in repairs. The ac quit costing around $700 in repairs. The cd/radio has an electrical issue that has not been fixed because i can't afford it estimated at another$700 in repairs.
The contact owns a 2008 ford edge. While driving approximately 35 mph, there was an odor of burning plastic emitted through the vent.

The approximate failure mileage was 175,180.
I noticed at a stop light, when making a left turn, the inside indicator was blinking fast, telling me i had an issue. Once home, i checked my turn signals, driver side was not working at all. Had my son change the bulb and found the plastic at the base of the bulb was severely melted. The socket was darkened but still in working order, replaced the bulb and is working for now.went to ford dealer that i bought the vehicle from and they said they knew nothing about this issue with other edge's. (what ever !)i wanted them to look and the socket and harness but they wanted $98.00 just to "check it out". And of course, i'm out of the 30 month / 36k warranty. Good thing i carry full coverage, because if the car burns to the ground, you can bet i won't be buying another ford.
Driver's door ajar light comes on. Making a dining sound continuously,turning interior car lights on, and won't allow doors to lock. But the door is shut. This concerns me with the lights turning on at night, and what if i really do have a door that isn't shut. This can happen as soon as you start the car, or later while driving down the road.
Rear taillights melting in their sockets.
First i was driving when my breaks started to feel like they were locking up. Come to find out it was the power break booster which cost me $504.00. Then 2 weeks later my car starts to do a putting feeling and come to find out 2 of the coils burnt up the power control module costing me $1058.00. A few months before this it was in the ford dealership because of a leak on the fuel pump. Costing me $216. I am furious i have had to spend this in the last month. I just seen on the news that ford has a recall on the power control module but it was not my year. I am simply asking if someone would please look into this so maybe i can get some of this money back to pay off the debt it caused me.
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
Ac problems quit cooling.
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
Ongoing transmissionissues since purchased new. Been to repair for more than 17 days and issues still remain unresolved. Took car in for regularscheduled oil changes and repairs.at approximately 30,000 miles the camphasers ( ford admitted wrong camphasers had been installed) were replaced. Coolant problem discovered as well when vehicle engine was removed. Odd odor coming from heater, when vehicle returned after camphaser and coolant issue did not resolve situation, and vehicle returned to galpin ford service, was told that axle and bearing were broken and that the steering wheel was not in proper position.i am deeply concerned for other ford edge owners as well as members of the public who may be affected by vehicle that does not properly engage and appears to stall before moving forward....this is an enormously serious issue, that should not be ignored. Reading the prior complaints, tells me this is not a new problem, and that consumers and ford are aware of the transmissions issues. Please assist.
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.clearly if you do research on the internet this has been a problem with the ford edges for several years.
The contact owns a 2008 ford edge. While driving approximately 35 mph, the vehicle stalled independently. The accelerator pedal was depressed, but the vehicle failed to operate.

The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the cause of the failure was undetermined. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 105,000. The vin was not provided.
The left rear turn signal stopped working.after searching online i discovered it was a commonly reported problem.upon removing the lens assembly i noticed the same thing others are reporting.the plastic base of the bulb is melted.the bulb is still good however.the bulb socket is charred obviously from excessive heat.nothing else including the rubber gasket around the socket seems to have been affected by this heat.
Purchased 2008 ford edge limited in august '10. 1 previous owner, 26k, mint condition. Supposedly battery was replaced upon purchase. 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. Vehicle broke down 1st time theday after it had been serviced, october 15th- lost complete acceleration but not battery power. Noticed wrench light and airbag lights were illuminated on dashboard as well as "odo...error". Turned car off and then on and when placed in 'drive', heard a loud noise and car jerked, no acceleration, same situation when car placed in park. Dealership inspected vehicle and stated that battery terminals were completely loose (mechanic never tightened terminals upon replacement of battery and dealership admitted liability/negligence) and 'severely' corroded. Since 1st break down, same hiccup (random, intermittent) is felt and more complaints/comments were placed to both dealerships. Car was scheduled to go back for another service visit for complaint but vehicle broke down for 2nd time prior to service date with dealership.november 19th, vehicle lost acceleration, wrench and airbag lights were illuminated on dashboard and 'odo...error". Attempted to place vehicle in reverse and loud noise was heard, vehicle jerked and when vehicle was placed in park, same noise and jerk. Presently the vehicle is back with the dealership for service.
Drivers side rear turn signal bulb burnt out.when replaced it was discovered that both rear light sockets were burnt black and beginning to melt.the mechanic replacing the bulbs informed me that this was a common problem with ford edges.
The contact owns a 2008 ford edge. While attempting to start the vehicle, it failed to start. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the ignition coil, power control module, and catalytic converter failed and would need to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired.

When driving all of a sudden the truck speedometer goes blank, the odometer drops to zero and the wrench, airbag and eventually the tire pressure lights illuminate.when pressing the accelerator the car struggles to accelerate because it starts losing power.i then have to pull off the road, turn the car off and allow the car to reset itself. I turn the car on, the lights are out but when i try to accelerate there is still little power so i have to press the accelerator to the floor an then the power kicks in and the car operates normal.this is a safety hazard because it has happened to me 4-5 times, on the highway.this is a safe hazard because it can potentially cause a tragic accident.
This occurred multiple times with my ford edge.i will be driving a highway speeds, and on the dashboard:1.the odometer turns from numbers to dashes2.the speedometer stops working3.various services lights will turn on (each time it happened, different lights came on)then,i brake to a full stop, the car loses all throttle, and i'm barely able to accelerate.when i go to shift gears, there is a harsh, clunking noise in the transmission as i'm shifting.i was told this was a defect in the speed sensors but it occurred a total of 4 times in about 8 months.i had to trade the car in because it was becoming too unsafe to drive.
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?
Noticed the r/h brake light was out. Went to change the bulb and found the socket is burned and chard. I removed the l/h signal light and found the exact same situation. This is a serious fire hazard and a quick on-line search found multiple similar situations. A coworker of mine with exact same vehicle had the exact same thing happen.

Door ajar warning light comes on so doors won't lock, dome light won't go out and nothing will show up on the dashboard display.
Auto transmission will not shift, engine revs and no power, wrench light airbag warning lights,dead speedo, odometer shows dashes.had trans fluid changed. No help.i have seen several problems noted on the internet. Dealers are not fixing the problem by rebuilding the trans for several thousand dollars. The trans failing should not affect the various electrical problems associated with this incident.the system will reset if the engine is turned off and then restarted with nothing indicating a problem. There doesnt appear to be any codes set.i urge ford to embrace these problems before someone is hurt because the trans "jumps" out of gear and causes an accident.this reported problem should not be "news" to your complaints department.i have chosen to always prefer a ford products during my 50 years of driving and expect an honest, thorough and concise investigation be given to this problem.
Rear tail light bulbs are melting, several times now, after doing research it seems to be happening to a lot of people, so i see it as a safety issue. My turn signal went out and went to replace it and discovered the bulb was melted into the socket. (this happened three times now, i'm trying to figure out the issue. (it may be a factory electrical design fluke)also ive began to lose gas andvit is not remaining in the gas tank. It has caused my gas light to come on. Which triggered the check engine light to come on as well. This happened on or about 12/15/2020. Then the bearings an began to shake and wobble badly. From the contaminates amd salts. I am really having difficulties with my vehicle and im in meed of help badly. Now as of 1/5/2021 my car has started to fish tail showing the sway bar is giving out
Driver door says ajar and the door is closed. Lights won't go off.

Door ajar icon on all doors closed dome lights only go off when car is in motion however if you hit brakes as if your going to stop dome lights come back on .
The vehicle says "driver door ajar" at random times when the door isn't actually open (from doing nothing more than opening and closing the door, rolling down the window, locking the doors, etc.). While this may seem more like a hassle than a safety issue, it is too an issue of safety. When the vehicle is in "door ajar" mode the dome lights come on. This is dangerous when driving at night. When the vehicle is in "door ajar" mode, the car will not lock. People need to be able to lock their vehicle for safety reasons that i probably don't need to spell out.i've read a few ford forums, with numerous people discussing this same issue. Why hasn't their been a recall to address this?
I recently boughtused 2008 ford edge. My tail light went out and when i went to change the bulb, i discovered the bulb and the whole socket to be burnt and melted. I took to google and found everyone complaining about the same issue!! this could definitely be a fire hazard, it has me worried with 2 kids in my car!!
When were driving the car it loses power(the traction control just comes on for no reason) , when we go above 70 our abs light comes on, our brakes randomly just start grinding then they will stop, we have replaced the breaks last month.
Drivers rear turn signal melted . Bulb burnt.
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 getmyself 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. The vehicle was stationary in the parking lot of the grocery store.there wasn't a vehicle accident but i did receive an injury to my neck and shoulder, extent to be determined.*dtconsumer stated when driving vehicle starts to shake. Vehicle was taken to the dealer, pcm melted two igniton coils and new computer replaced.
Three days after passing my annual texas state inspection while driving through town i initiated my left turn signal only to have the indicator blink very quickly (not the normal tick-tick-tick blink).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.that must have been some power surge to do that kind of damage.
Both taillight sockets were found burnt. Brand new light bulb was not making sufficient contact in the socket to illuminate (light bulb was not bad). Defect was found when replacing bulbs due to non-functioning rear turn signal.
Driving home with 2 babies under the age of 3 in my car the airbag and wrench light flashed and odometer had dashes. Car began to lose power i could not accelerate. Turned the car off went to put it into reverse and the whole car jumped. I have had problems before with the car jerking when going low speeds. This is so bad. Can not put the car in reverse without a loud clunk.
I have a 2008 ford edge sel.when turning on my left blinker it was blinking rapidly which i knew indicated a light was out.i found that it was my driver side rear blinker/tail light. I went to the store and purchased the bulb. When i got home to replace it i found that i could not remove the bulb as the socket has melted.i searched online and found that this is common for this type of vehicle.
I own a 2008 ford edge. Recently i noticed my edge having a hard time shifting into fast mode. I took it to the ford dealership, nothing is wrong. Today it was horrible!!! i get to the stop light, my edge would not "take off" like the other cars. I sat there embarrassed for two mins trying to press the accelerator, edge finally jerked and then took off. Iam very disappointed in ford. I can't believe they have not recalled this edge. Now, i have to pay to get edge fixed when ford could fix the issue,. There are thousands of people complaining about this vehicle.
Upon replacing original factory brake/turn signal bulbs i found both the bulbs and the sockets on both sides to be blackened and melted; my fear is electrical fire.
Took my vehicle in early for service at sunrisebecause 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 publishedin their won alerts. Seriously dangerous! there are numerous postings of other ford edge owners having these problems. Please investigate their questionable protocols on dangers that are known with their vehicles.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
I am unable to "select affected parts" in this form:parts - power train, transmission, battery. Over the past 6 months there have been numerous incidents where my vehicle, upon returning to speed or entering a roadway/highway, or otherwise entering a roadway, it has made a noise, a sudden jerk, seem to hold speed (fail to increase speed) and seems to feel like it is failing to changed gears (appears to rev in rpms slightly), then jerks again, and comes back into routine shifting.it is an automatic.this happens often.i have had the fluid check, flushed, replaced, asked my mechanic and she can find no issues.it seems to feel like it bogs down, but rpms appear to increase (almost as if it is not in gear/neutral).it seems to be happening more and more frequently.i have routinely checked my car for recalls. And i should note have had the ball bearing go bad (as recalled) and replaced, including the entire arm on the left rear. Additionally, my battery has failed and been replaced (approximately 3 years ago) and has since required replacement again.it needs to be jumped started, and upon first replacement (by ford) it was noted not all cylinders or cells were charged/charging.
The contact owns a 2008 ford edge. While driving approximately 60 mph, the service engine and seat belt sensors suddenly illuminated. A message displayed on the instrument panel indicating "data error". The contact also mentioned that the speedometer stopped operating during the failure. The vehicle operated normally once the engine was turned off and restarted; however, the failures soon recurred. The dealer stated that multiple sensors were faulty. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 64,000.
The contact owns a 2008 ford edge. While driving approximately 50 mph, the odometer and air bag indicators illuminated. Also, the speedometer was at zero. The contact drove to a stop sign and rolled to side. The vehicle was coasted to a fuel station and then towed to the contact's residence. A local dealer was contacted and asked that the vehicle be brought to the shop for diagnostic testing. The contact also stated that the battery was corroded. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failures. The failure mileage was 120,000.
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.
Rear tail light bulbs are melting, several times now, after doing research it seems to be happening to a lot of people, so i see it as a safety issue. My turn signal went out and went to replace it and discovered the bulb was melted into the socket. (this happened three times now, i'm trying to figure out the issue. (it may be a factory electrical design fluke)
Heater on driver sidebar blows extremely cold. Luke warm on passenger side. Multiple reports of this.
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"!
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 thepower trainfaulty sensors near the transmission need to be replaced costing over $800,00, as for the airbag i haven't received a invoice yet.
Rear tail light socket is melted.
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.
Same complaint as dozens of other 2008 ford edge owners. Odo error comes up, almost all warning lights come on, tach and speedometer go to zero and car is stuck in gear making is almost impossible to accelerate from a stop. This has happened several times but is starting to happen more frequently and usually on the highway. This is clearly a dangerous defect that ford needs to address asap before people are seriously injured.
The contact owns a 2008 ford edge. The contact stated that the vehicle experienced a severe lack of power. In addition, while the vehicle was operated at various speeds, the contact heard an abnormal noise from the rear wheel hubs. The air bag, tire pressure, and maintenance warning indicators illuminated. The hawkeye ford dealer was contacted and diagnosed the failure as the output speed sensor. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 138,178.
Vehicle continously fries turn signal lamps. I've replaced 12 of them since we bought it 4 years ago. Every 4-6 months it actually melts the bulb housing and i have to pry it out. If the vehicle catches fire i plan to sue ford. No pattern to when they burn it. Completely random but i've saved photos of each one.
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.[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
This has now happened to me twice with both my small children in the car while on the highway, at highway speeds. The 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.
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
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.
Tail lights burn up, melt. Sockets are burned black......
Back hatch door ajar light is on even when closed. The door will not lock and the interior lights stay on for a long time as a result.
When theying to accept on a city street the car would not go. Odo error came up. Speedometer wouldn't move at all. Car was turned off and restarted. Wrench light and check engine light came on. Car moves a little bit but did not run normal and clunked hard when put in park. Mechanic says it's a sensor issue that's common in this car.
Bought my 2008 edge in 2012 and experienced issues with odo read error message and loss of power shortly there after. It happens most frequently on the freeway at higher rates of speed (60- 70 mph). 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.
Vehicleinitially 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 was driving under normal conditions at about 35 mphwhen 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. Igot 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.
The audio system in my 2008 edge contains a gps and sirius satellite radio as well as the normal options. One morning, the sirius radio reception was degraded to the point that the signal could only be heard weakly at full volume. I worked through the diagnostics with sirius and was told that it was a ford hardware problem. I took the car to the ford dealer, who charged me $98 to run a diagnostic that pointed to a broken antenna mount assembly, with a price tag of $600 before labor. I did not accept the offer. Two weeks later, the problem suddenly resolved itself and reception returned to normal. At no time during this process did i mess with the connections to the receiver (in the spare tire compartment) or the "antenna" that sits on the spoiler.
Melted rear turn signal socket. It is the second time i have to change the light bulb and socket. This is dangerous!
Tail light and blinker baulb keep melting and burning
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.
Beneath the drivers seat, there is a loud sound that resignates throughout the vehicle. Also the electrical panel had to be replaced and sensors go off periodically.
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 panelnor 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......
The contact owns a 2008 ford edge. While driving 25 mph, the wrench icon and the air bag warning indicator illuminated. The accelerator pedal failed to work and the vehicle gradually came to a complete stop. The speed on the odometer and the tachometer was incorrect. The contact pulled the vehicle over to the side of the road, turned off, and turned on the vehicle. The vehicle was returned to normal. The failure recurred and the vehicle failed to restart. The vehicle automatically restarted and the speed automatically increased from 0 to 70 mph. The contact applied the brakes to reduce the speed. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 105,929.
While driving down van born road (heavy traffic) the speedometer stopped and went to 0 mph, the odometer read dashes, the wrench illuminated in the corner, and the airbag warning sign appeared. The rpm's in my vehicle began to climb higher as well and the car speedometer did not indicate any mph and began to decrease,after slowing down at ta red light i noticed my car would barely move and it slowly crept until i got home 1/2 mile from when i noticed the problem start. As soon as i parked other warning lights began flashing such as the tire pressure sign. 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, loud noise as if the engine was dropping out or i was being rear ended. I turned the car off and back on to see if the warning signals were still illuminated and they reset. 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 this morning 8/20/14 and they stated that the transmission is trying to skip first gear and go directly to second gear; my car is currently in the shop. Prior to this incident i experienced occasional jerking while driving and the car was switching gears. It was very scary being a female and not knowing much about mechanics. Only 49,000 miles.
This has happened twice in the last two weeks. Once at 45 mph, once at 60 mph. Speedometer goes to zero despite maintaining speed. Display shows od data error. Airbag, tire pressure, and wrench lights come on. Pull over, turn off engine. Restart. Reset button. Transmission feels like it is in a higher gear, shifts hard little acceleration power.. Once you get it to shift up to a high gear seems to shift/drive normal.
Burnt out turn signal bulb. Upon installation of new bulb i found the socket to be melted on both sides. Took car into ford dealership where they replaced the sockets and inserted new bulbs. A few months later another burnt bulb with discolored sockets. Changed bulb again. Now i'm up to about 6 bulb changes with 4 being done by the dealer.
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.some 2007 edge and mkx vehicles equipped with a 6f50 transaxle with a transaxle build date prior to 1/1/2007, with any output shaft speed (oss) sensor or turbine shaft speed (tss) sensor diagnostic trouble code(s) (dtcs) p0715, p0717, p0718, p0720, p0721, p0722 and/or harsh engagements, no upshift, fifth gear only, could have an intermittent short in the oss or tss sensor.ford knows about this flaw and common problem and there is a tsb, but no recall.this is the problem that is causing the symptoms in the video.
Hello, my 2008 ford edge is having a lot of transmission fricking issues !!!! shifting hard into reverse and from 1st to 2nd !!!
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.
Rear bulbs failure changed 4 times since 6/01/2014 last change 10/24/2014 both sockets black and burnedhaven't changed sockets.
The blinkers stop working.you do not know this until cop stops you.upon inspection i found that the socket had melted and had that molted look to them. The light bulbs had burnt out.this needs to be looked into since it is a potential fire hazard. Here is another complaint in your records reagarding the same issue-crash:no fire:no number of injuries:0 number of deaths:0 manufacturer: ford motor companyvehicle identification no. (vin): 2fmdk38c48b...summary:rear turn light sockets burn up with no warning light to display that your rear lights no longer work. You do not know until the police pulls you over to tell you which can result in fines. I had to pay to replace both rear light sockets (approx. $150)
I have a 2008 ford edge purchased in 2011 6 months after purchase all of the lights came on in vehicle and the car was stalling. It would rev up but it was unable to pick up speed.i took it car dealership and they said they could not find problem. After the car sat for a while it started working fine. A couple of months later again the same problem we towed it to dealer and they said the same thing they could not detect the problem. This is continuing to happen. Again today dec 2013 while driving the car started revving and would not pick up speed.i really don't know what to do at this point.i will never purchase another ford again and would like to know what i could do about this issue. I have googled this issue and see that there are several people experiencing the same issue.
Left rear turn/tail light is continually not working.i replace the bulb, thinking that would correct the issue but as it turned the bulb melted into the socket which had to be replaced.i've replaced the socket/connector 2x and now it's looks like replacement #3 is inevitable. I researched the internet for similar complaints and found several postings of the same problem.can anyone tell me if there is a recall on this issue? if not, there should be one!
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.
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.the dashboard has returned to normal, but loud clunk when shifting and will not accelerate without flooring it.
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.
Takata recall. The contact owns a 2008 ford edge. The contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 16v384000 (air bags); howeverthe part for the repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. Also, while driving, the panoramic roof cracked without warning. The contact mentioned that the vehicle started to jerk and became inoperable. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the coil was burned out and the computer, ecm, and sun roof needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was 134,000. Updated 06/08/17*ljupdated 08/15/2017
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.
This has happened several times.the vehicle was moving forward and all of a sudden the air bag light & the check engine light came on & the display said "no odometer available" . When i came to a stop, the car would not move - it was like it was in neutral then all the sudden the transmission engaged with a loud clunk & the car moved & all the lights went out.a wrench appeared on the dashboard and the screen read odo error with dashes. I could not go. It was as if my car was stuck in neutral. Even after turning the car off and on several times it did not remedy the problem. It also was shifting hard from park to drive, etc.
Melted rear directional socket.it is the third time i have to change the light bulb.
My wife and i purchased our ford edge used from a dealer, it is the limited model.drove the car for a few days after our purchase and everything seemed fine.on the third day i noticed my drivers side rear indicator lamp wasn't working.on inspection the bulb and socket were melted together and i was unable to remove the bulb.both filaments in the bulb were in-tact.the failure appeared to be related to the socket getting so hot that it actually melted and failed.i have not checked the rear passenger side but i'm assuming i will find a burned socket.
I have had to constantly replace the bulb for the driver side light enclosure.the bulb blows out shortly after replacing.most recently it was changed on april 4th and blew out april 6th
Gauges on dash stop working. Tool symbol shows up also tire pressure warning and exclamation mark. Carstarts to slow down. When car is put in reverse it makes a loud clucking noise. Like the motor is gonna fall out. Can't drive it forward but u can go in reverse.this has happened several times. If you let the car sit for a few days it goes back to normal. This has to be a serious problem because lots of people on youtube have posted videos of the same problem!now i'm stuck over 100 miles away from home. Not cool ford!!!!!
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.
The contact owns a 2008 ford edge. While driving approximately 30 mph, the vehicle stalled and lost power. A wrench icon illuminated on the dashboard. The contact placed the gear in park and shut off the engine. The vehicle later restarted. The contact called a local dealer who requested that the vehicle be brought in for diagnostic testing. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and transferred the contact to nhtsa. The failure was not diagnosed. The failure mileage was 117,700.
Here is the link to an exact detailed explanation.when i lost power my car rolled into the middle of the intersection and was hit.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldwpafpvu0o3.
Loss of power to the extent of next to no acceleration, transmission not shifting smoothly or correctly, odometer blanks out with dashes, speedometer quits working, airbag light and transmission wrench illuminate in the gauge cluster.
While driving my 2008 ford edge, the "wrench" light comes on and my car loses all power. When i step on the gas it is like i am in neutral my car will not drive. This is extremely dangerous especially in traffic. I am so scared i am going to be rear-ended. I did a lot of research and found many others have the same issue. Apparently it is the electronic throttle body.
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.
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.i have researched this to find out if other ford edges have the same issue and i came across a slew of other ford edge owners with the same issue.i have contacted ford several times to be told that there are no recalls on this.
Left rear tail light burned out check bulb come to find out the socket is burned brown and the socket very crisp falling apart due to over heated socket this should be replaced by ford. This may cause a fire hazard, take your vehicle to the dealer and have this checked before you have a fire!!! i found this when i checked to see if the turn signal/brake light were working.
The contact owns a 2008 ford edge. The contact stated that while driving approximately 35 mph, the vehicle suddenly jerked and all the warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was able to be driven to the dealer who stated that the computer system needed to be reset. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified and a complaint was filed. The failure mileage was 41,800.
Drivers side rear turn signal bulb melted the socket from excessive heat.
As everyone else, loses acceleration, shut off and it seems fine later. High rpm no power, as if it cant shift. No error lights, shaking along with sputtering when it has a load.....very dangerous as i drive major highway daily. Has been happening more frequently now
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.coils was severely melted from overheating and may have eventually caught on fire.ford was notified of the problem and states that the manufacture date was acknowledged in a tsb 14-0059 but that there is no responsibility of ford motor company end.cost to repair was $3000 due to tsb stating that customer needs to replace all coils and pcm with a unit that does not cause overheating and loss of power to car
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.
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!!!!!
While driving down the highway the speedometer stopped and went to 0 mph, the odometer read dashes, the wrench illuminated in the corner, and the airbag warning sign appeared. The rpm's in my vehicle began to climb higher as well and the car speed began to decrease, again i was on the highway. I got off an exit about 1.5 miles from when i noticed the problem start. 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.
Seat caught on fire due to seat warmer electrical malfunction my vehicle was not in motion it was parked
When i put into gear the transmission jerks into gear. All the vehicle codes go off at once. One incident i lost power when i came to a stop at an intersection. I accelerated and vehicle hesitated to accelerate. The. Speedometer read zero and i was clearly going over 40mph. I have only had the vehicle 7mos. I took it in for service at the ford dealer twice and was told it was nothing and that it might be the battery. Today is the final straw.i am writing this at the ford dealer. The transmission is jerking way to much. It is unsafe to drive. And they are trying to put me in a new car..i want my car fixed. .
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 updated 11/10/08.
Vehicle was taken to power ford in valencia for standard service a week ago.41,000 miles new tires bought- was told all was ok. One week later i am driving when suddenly speedometer stops and mileage is reading --- grinding noise then a wrench icon appears which means the powertrain is malfunctioning, then the air bag light went on and then an !icon which means there is a problem with tires. Terrified, i called power ford and told to bring it in... I was less than a half a mile away, and put on my hazard lights and barely made it the few clocks to the dealership. This is a haunting problem that i have read at least a dozen comments about the power train. Had i been ion the freeway i don't think i would be alive. Please investigate this issue with the ford edge. I did not know the outcome at all. Thank you
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.

While driving ,infull motion, , the car comes to an almost stop! scares you to death, you check to make sureyou haven't accidently put the car inneutral ,all the warning lights on the dash lightup ,thecheck engine, the low tire gage symbol, the tool light,, the speedometer stops working,. The car refuse to move forward, placed in reverse it moves backward ,theford dealer is unable to fix the problem ,codesdon't show up to helpidentifythe problem. The danger is it happens while you are driving. Its been diagnosedas a transmission problem (very expensive) but that's not what it is. You reprogram it temporary,by taking the positive battery cable loose for a few seconds, the car drives perfect until it happens again, its happen three times with this car, i have called the ford cooperate office to report this problem.
The pcm on my ford edge has went out for a second time after 5 years of having it fixed the first time. This issue is an on going issue that once again will cost over 1000 to replace and repair all the problems this has caused such as the computer itself all the spark plugs even though it is not time for this to be changed again the car was purchased with 95000 miles on it and within a month of having it the car shot the computer we replaced all the spark plugs coils and the computer thru a dealership and now the vehicle is at 123000 and once again it is time to replace all the parts again. This needs to be recalled due to the loss of power while driving when this issue first starts.
The vechile loss power and stalled out. After that the car on the second occurrence won"t start had to charge battery the car raced whiled idling and had no power to run. Went back to the dealer and are unable to find any problem. So we are now stuck with a car that will shut down and lose all power which is not safe to drive do to the fact that if we drove it at night and stalls out we lose all power and with no power the other cars may run into us and cause an accident which we are unable to prevent.thank youthis is a dangerous situation.

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.
Pulling out of a parking lot turning right tried to accelerate significant amount of traffic behind me after turning and i couldn't go anywhere.pulled into the nearest parking lot approx. 50 feet or more piled into parkin spot.then sat for a couple inured wrench illuminated on dash board.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.thank god it didn't as i wouldn't be writing this letter.for the safety of others this should be considered a recall item.
Vehicleinitially 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.
The car lost power when entering the freeway. It was misfiring and was not able to keep up with the speed limit.the repair shop found the coil was melted and cracked. The engine misfired #6 cylinder. The pcm module did not shut down the cylinder to prevent the misfire, which resulted in the destruction of the ignition coil, and pcm module. The new pcm module had to be purchased from ford as no after market existed. The repair bill was over two thousand dollars.we were told this could have started a fire. Hoping the new module works properly.
Gauges on dash stop working. Tool symbol shows up also tire pressure warning and exclamation mark. Carstarts to slow down. When car is put in reverse it makes a loud clucking noise. Like the motor is gonna fall out. Can't drive it forward but u can go in reverse.this has happened several times. If you let the car sit for a few days it goes back to normal. This has to be a serious problem because lots of people on youtube have posted videos of the same problem!now i'm stuck over 100 miles away from home. Not cool ford!!!!!
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.
Went through intersection standing on brake pedal, would not stop, left side wheels locked up. Slid on blacktop 2+ car lengths to oncoming traffic shoulder, 2 more car lengths on gravel. Told by repair shop abs unit not working properly.could not explain why power went to wheels on the right while driving down road. Was 60,000 and 4 years old. Now 6 1/2 and 67,000 miles,still stuck with it.
I pulled out of my driveway and everything was fine. I pulled out of my neighborhood and as soon as i gave it any good amount of gas it starting driving really rough and shaking and the a/c went out you could hear the misfire on the cylinders and the transmission was revving high before it would shift gears. No check engine lights or anything at this point. I turned back around and took my car back home turned it off and then turned it back on and that's when the check engine light came on. We pulled the code and it was p0352 (ignition coil 2 or pcm) so we bought and changed all spark plugs and coil 2. This still didn't fix the problem. So i took it in to the dealership and $3000 later they had to replace my pcm (the main computer that run the car) all 6 coils and spark plugs. 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.
I was stoped at stop sign my 2008 ford edge with no signs of problems. When i started to pull out there was low power and the wrench signal went on.car would not go faster then 5mph.i was very concerned for cars in back of were impatient and passing.i researched this problem on the inertnet and it seems to be happening with alot of these make and model cars.
I always maintained my "pre-owned" vehicle, purchased from dealership with 25,000 miles. Began to experience a plethora of problems after 2,000 miles. I've paid over $8,000 in repairs and only drove it 35,000 in 8 years time, but maintained it properly & regularly: i've had to change the brakes & pads, & battery twice, it's wheel rims constantly leak air in the winter causing flat tires, changed all 4 tires, and on august 2, 20017, while driving on the highway at 60 mph, my steering control suddenly locked up! there was no control over the vehicle's movements- no ability to make lane adjustments or turns! i and my entire family including grandchildren could have been killed!! luckily, the next off-ramp was a straight shot & i was able to exit the hwy safely and bring the vehicle to stop despite no steering control. I had my vehicle towed to a ford dealership which incorrectly diagnosed the problem, & did not bother to inspect it for three days. It now needs a costly ($1500) rack and pinion to replace it's rusted out pressurized fuel line for power steering fluid. It remains unrepaired to date since there is also a takata airbag recall w/ possible fatal injury on this vin. The repairs have been delayed because this vehicle is an unsafe danger to drive! the fuel line defect was undetectable even though i had regular maintenance care and checkups.
"takata recall" i was driving my child to school in highway traffic, speeds of 55 mph. The car mileage indicators went blank, a wrench light came on and all power to car was lost during turning a curve on highway.vehicle started making very loud popping noise and jerking the car. Turned car off after coming to a stop, restarted car, no warning lights, everything was normal except, when starting car, it made very loud noise as it was started, then as i placed in drive or reverse it moved the vehicle jerking an loud popping noise. The entire motor moved sideways when placed in gear an hood up. Also now it no longer works in low gear. Once placed on machine it gave code po720-722
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 toa 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.
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.
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!!!!
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 contact owns a 2008 ford edge. While driving various speeds, the engine seized and the vehicle lost power. The contact was able to pull the vehicle over to restart the engine. The failure occurred intermittently and the check engine warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the coil pack needed to be repaired. Autonation ford mobile (901 east interstate 65 service rd s, mobile, al 36606, (251) 202-2016) and the manufacturer were made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 70,000.
My wife was driving her 2008 ford escape from work on a very busyhighway when she stopped at a store got back in started the car she noticed that the airbag light was on speedometer had lines going thru it when she put it into gear it made a real loud banging sound and jerked as she was driving' the car lost compression did not have any power at all. She made it home without getting killed or killingsomeone i went out to see what was wrong and when i started the car it made a load banging 'when i put it into gear it was even worst we called a tow truck and had it towed where we had bought it at ----- ---- ----- -------- it's the only ford dealer close and they have a very poor record for backing their warranty's.it sounds to me to be the computer chip i have a warranty on it still so there should be no reason for them not to fix it but i will bet that they say that the warranty does not cover the power train but it does so if you are having this problem with your 2008 escape do not let the tell you that it is not coveredif you have a warranty.the computer chip that operates your power train is part of the power train' if not for that the car would not move unless it was being towedif you work for ford and see all of these complaint's about the same thing going on with the 2008 escape's what is it going to take before ford step's up someone to get killed.
The contact owns a 2008 ford edge. The contact stated that while at a complete stop, the malfunction indicator, the tire pressure monitoring system, and air bag warning lights illuminated.

Transmission, and transfer-case leaking directly on the exhaust right by the manifold and professional stated it was severe fire hazard and not drive it, and also the rear main engine oil seal is leaking. The dealership was aware of all the issues and manipulated me as a female into purchasing the vehicle. The dealership argued that they were not responsible and that i had a 3 month 3,000 mile warranty when in fact my purchase agreement stated it was as is. Which means they lied to me. The transmission shop who inspected my vehicle stated that the leaks have been ongoing for quite sometime before i even purchased the car. I just purchased this vehicle in october of 2015 and already have made six payments and now i am paying for something that i can not even drive because it was not repaired correctly the first time so it had to be returned again. It is going on the fourth week. I do have a loner but i have already spent over $300.00 in gas. I only have one vehicle at this time and that is the ford edge and it is very upsetting to think that i have made 3 complaints regarding this issues to the ford motor company about the fire hazard issue and have had no satisfaction or results other then they claim it the dealers problem. I have done numerous research about his particular vehicle, and there are thousands of issues regarding the transmission leak on the exhaust as a fire hazard. Is this going to be like general motors, and wait for someones car to actually catch fire??? or is it going to be like general motors and wait for someone to be killed before they will do anything about it? my vehicle is not the only one. There are thousands of complaints out there regarding the same exact issue. I am basically paying for a car that i cannot drive at all.
The water pump is located inside the engine and when a simple $160 part failed, it circulated anti-freeze through the engine necessitating a complete engine replacement.this happened within the span of 5 minutes with the first symptom the heat went off inside the cabin.no engine lights came on, the heat came back on and went off again, still no indication of engine or trouble lights going on.then major engine failure, instantly the oil light went on and within seconds the motor overheated.there was a terrible noise as i found my way to a safe spot to stop the car.this is the most basic kind of irresponsibility in creating an expensive product like a car.american companies owe it to the public not to foist a huge design defect on an unsuspecting public and should willingly pay 100% of any and all claims for this issue.
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.i have researched this to find out if other ford edges have the same issue and i came across a slew of other ford edge owners with the same issue.i have contacted ford several times to be told that there are no recalls on this.
The contact owns a 2008 ford edge. The contact stated that while driving from a complete stop, the wrench and the low tire pressure warning indicators illuminated. In addition, the odometer and speedometer became inoperative. There was a reduction in the transmission power. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 150,000.
My brakes started off feeling very stiff, then would sink into floor while making a hissing sound. Often barely stopping.when stopped with my foot on the brake the engine will start sputtering like it is going to shut off, when i let off the brake it will run fine.there were no warning or indications that there was a problem and i have nearly wrecked multiple times.i contacted the local ford service department and was informed that they have fixed this same problem in several of the ford edge suvs and that it would cost between $600 and $700 to repair.if so many people are having the same issue why has ford not put out a recall on this?
The contact owns a 2008 ford edge. While driving approximately 10 mph, the vehicle suddenly would not accelerate. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact coasted over to an emergency lane and shut the engine off. The vehicle was restarted; however, the failure recurred multiple times. The dealer stated that the failure appeared to be related to the throttle body, but there were no codes present to confirm. The mechanic also noticed that when the vehicle was shut off, the codes would reset; therefore, they were unable to locate the exact failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and stated that the vehicle was not included in ford's csc campaign: 13b17 (engine). The approximate failure mileage was 95,000....updated 08/25/15
I bought my edge, used last year and i love it. Although, every now and then while driving the transmission makes a huge bang noise. Its scary!!! i hope that ford will take care of this. It seems there are other complaints regarding the same problem.
The vehicle stalls at low speeds and at red lights and stop signs without warning and without great consistency. This happens multiple times per day/trip with no resolution. Dealer and independent mechanic cannot identify the problem as no codes are thrown when it happens and it restarts after stalling. This is a significant safety issue.
While driving the ford edge has a complete loss of power. The wrench light and battery light came on. The power steering would not work and i had to coast to the side of the road. I turned off the engine and was able to restart it. The mechanic was not able to replicate it. It has happened multiple times almost causing a wreck each time while driving in the city. Luckily it has not happened on the highway. I have had the throttle body replaced as suggested in the forums for this problem. Https://www.cargurus.com/cars/discussion-t35446_ds471580
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.
Vehicle stalled while reversing into a parking spot. Barely started. Stalled a few seconds later after completing the reverse into parking spot. Barely started again. Got on the road and driving fine a few hundred feet, vehicle stalled almost ran into a group of parked vehicles. Barely started again. Made it to the highway to go home and while driving at just under 55mph limit vehicle stalls in the passing lane. Almost caused a wreck with several vehicles including a semi. Didn't start for a few minutes. Vehicle stuttered to start and barely turned over. After it started i sat there and watched the tachometer, it would, without myself touching or doing anything, idle then jump a little and dip a little over and over. There seems to be no certain situation or reasoning for when, where or why it would stall, complete randomness! highway driving, slow stop and go city driving, reversing, it seems to do it completely randomly and unexpectedly but always while moving one direction or the other. Straight line, turning, fast, slow, didn't make a difference. Finally was able to get off the highway, came into town and i was able to stop at all the lights and go but then out of no where again doing close to the 35mph limit it stalls again and this time i was at a 6 way intersection and almost hit another moving vehicle. My family will not be riding in this vehicle again until something is done! this is not normal or safe! not for me or anyone else on the roadway! i have no clue as to what the issue could be except that it's the manufacturers issue. It doesn't make any since. Vehicle has never been wrecked, above average maintenance intervals, completely maintained but this is something more than regular 'wear and tear' as one would say. Not safe at all!! could have killed myself, my family or someone else with this problem!! needs attention asap! extremely unsafe!
The contact owns a 2008 ford edge. While operating the vehicle and making a turn, the vehicle shut down. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that thewater pump failed and damaged the bearings, which blew out the motor. The dealer and manufacturer were not contacted. The failure mileage was 50,000.
When driving the vehicle the power train problem indicator light and check engine light come on and the car loses all power. Car will not exceed 900 rpm and will barely move. I had the trouble codes read and it is indicating that the throttle is showing stuck closed and open. I believe that this is the same issue as with several other ford models and should have been part of the extended warranty that covered the throttle bodies from several other models. This issue poses a serious safety risk do to the fact that it has happened several times and at various speeds, if this were to happen at highway speeds in heavy traffic it could be horrible. I have researched this problem extensively online and found that it is a fairly common issue with the edge.

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????
The contact owns a 2008 ford edge.the contact stated that while driving at an unknown speed, the vehicle experienced a loss of acceleration and the odometer went blank as there was a sudden increase of engine rpms.

Internal water pump failure while driving causing engine to shut off.
I own a 2008 edge with approx. 150,000 miles on it.the car has stalled on me 3 times in the last 3-4 months. The first time the car stalled i was on the freeway during rush hour. Thankfully i was able to restart the care and move it off to the side of the freeway before it stalled again. After having it towed, i was told that the water pump had cracked. The water pump involved a lot of labor and cost me about $1100-$1200 with the tow. About a week later, i was again driving on the freeway and the car stalled. Again, i was able to make my way off the freeway before the car died completely. Once again, i had to have the care towed. This time, i was told that the engine appeared to have coolant in the oil and created a murky goo. My engine needed to be replaced. Another $2200. The last incident was friday, may 20th. I had no indication there was a problem of any kind. I literally drove less than half a mile when the care overheated and stalled.i called and emailed ford to see if i could get any assistance, but have either have had no response or an email indicating that if the car is not under warranty or if no recalls have been issued, i would be responsible for any work that needs to be done. I contacted the dealership where i purchased the car, but have not received a response. I am out of money and options. I have been without a car for almost two weeks and feel incredibly frustrated by this situation. I find it absurd that a vehicle would get a blown engine with no warning and that a recall has not been issued. I am facing another $1200 or so in vehicle repairs.
Driving northbound on lake shore drive in chicago, illinois was accelerating on an incline and engine was racing but vehicle was losing power, made a popping noise, white smoke began billowing out of hood, lost all power was rolling to the nearest safety lane which was a turning lane just being opened by city workers when they said for me to get out of the car they saw flames coming out of the lower part of the engine.had it towed to ford dealer where mechanic stated there was a blown rod through the oil pan. The last oil change i had was 2/19/13 at 58,840 miles in car.
Bought my 2008 ford edge 3 years ago with no problems. Had some work done after a wreck year and a half ago. After the repair, it began jerking whether i was on the highway or city streets. I noticed that when it jerks, i lose rpms at the same time. I have to hit the gas to get it to accelerate. Feels like the gears are slipping and it doesn't happen t consistent speeds. Some days are worse than others and some days doesn't occur at all. It will also idle rough and had before jerked when going from reverse to drive. Also, april 2014, i was backing into a parking spot when the car completely died. I turned the ignition off and then started the car again. It started right up. That is the only time that has happened.
As everyone else, loses acceleration, shut off and it seems fine later. High rpm no power, as if it cant shift. No error lights, shaking along with sputtering when it has a load.....very dangerous as i drive major highway daily. Has been happening more frequently now
Transmission seems to be a issue with the ford edge. Why has there not been a recall on this product? so many complaints on the ford edge transmission. I witness this first hand, may 2, 2014. While driving on the high way, my car out of know where seem to have lost power. The only thing that was moving was the rpm, but the car was slowing down. Finally after pulling to the side of the highway, and turning the car off, it reset some how and at least got me to work. I had to get the car towed from work back home because i did not want to run into the same issue. I did research and seems like i have not been the only one with this issue. Matter of fact there is a long list on you tube. What has ford done to correct this issue. Other than repeatedly taking income from hard working consumers, for a issue that has not been resolved.
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.
Driving to work i noticed the temperature gauge got all the way up and i pulled over, since i was driving on the i-41 northbound highway, i decided to get off the highway since i was pretty close to the exit. I called my husband for assistance and right after he dropped me off at work, he checked the suv and noticed the coolant reservoir was very low. We took it to the mechanic and after the inspection his diagnostic was a 'water pump failure ' since the water pump is located 'inside ' the engine itself, it will be a 'very expensive fix' so the mechanic recommended to report it since it may be fomoco's faulty. I completely agreed with hem, because the fact they installed the water pump inside the engine, doesn't make any sense, because just a inexpensive pump affected the whole engine and to repair it, will cost more than the suv itself. This happened on january 28th 2019, around 1:30. My husband and i are hoping there is a 'recall ' regarding this matter.
I purchased this car within the past month from a used car dealership with 78,000 miles on it. This past weekend, i was pulling into a parking lot and the engine shut off while trying to park my car. Luckily there wasn't any traffic behind me but if this would have happened while cars were behind me, i probably would have gotten into a severe accident.

Several times now, my car will not accelerate.this has happened while going 40, 60, 70mph on the hwy.i have had to instantly put hazards on and try to pull over which isn't always easy during rush hour traffic.when this happens, i pull off, and then my car lurches forward and shifts gears and then can accelerate.this has also happened when i have been at a complete stop, and tried to accelerate.when you cannot move forward, or crawl at speeds under 5mph, but your rpms are reaching 7, there is something seriously wrong.i have taken it in a few times only to be told they cannot find or recreate the issues, so they send me on my way.it sounds as if many others are having the exact same issues.i am very nervous that my luck in pulling off out of harms way will run out.i have called my dealership to once again have it looked at but they cannot get me in for 10 days.... Should i even drive this car if it is not reliable??i truly am frightened to drive now, and this is my only car and am a single mother.not sure what i am supposed to do.i really hope that ford recalls this, as i have read that there are several lawsuits pending this exact issue.
Driving and all the sudden car loses transmission capability.it shifts really hard and when at a stop have to rev the engine to get it to go at a crawl.all lights on dashboard light up - tool wrench - air bag disabled - odometer and speedometer stop working. Very dangerous in traffic!!!!
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.
Investigation subject : electronic throttle body malfunctionnhtsa action number: pe13003must include 2008 ford edge to recall list!!had a very close call. Vehicle shut off while making turn with on coming traffic. Dealer says there is nothing they can do because this model is not included in the recall of the defective throttle bodies! there are way too many ford edgeowners with this problem to be ignored in this recall.thank you !
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 lostpower. I drove back to the gas station and had it towed home.
I own a 2008 ford edge. Recently i noticed my edge having a hard time shifting into fast mode. I took it to the ford dealership, nothing is wrong. Today it was horrible!!! i get to the stop light, my edge would not "take off" like the other cars. I sat there embarrassed for two mins trying to press the accelerator, edge finally jerked and then took off. Iam very disappointed in ford. I can't believe they have not recalled this edge. Now, i have to pay to get edge fixed when ford could fix the issue,. There are thousands of people complaining about this vehicle.

Our water pump on our 2008 ford edge limited, suffered a breakdown which allowed water to enter the engine internally.the water mixed with the oil inside the engine causing a complete engine failure.we were informed it would cost $7,800.00 to install a new ford engine.at the time of engine failure the odometer showed 105,000 miles.the car was being driven in town at a speed of 35 miles per hour in the month of august, 2019.i noticed the air conditioning was blowing hot air so i glanced at the dashboard to see the engine temperature gauge registering h (hot).at no time did the "check engine" light come on to alert me of an engine problem.i had the edge towed to a garage where we were shown a bill for $7,800 to replace the entire engine due to the water pump bursting and leaking water into the engine which mixed with oil in the engine.we believe this engine failure was the direct result of the location of the water pump which was "internally" in the engine.

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.[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

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!!!!!

It happened when i came off the highway onto the side road, there was a loud clunk in the rear of the vehicle and i lost power to drive, and when i pressed the gas it would only go 30 miles of speed.i went into a parking lot, turned the motor off and let it sit for 10 min. I restarted it and it seemed fine.but now on a regular basis it will clunk in the rear like i have been hit and then clear up and drive good.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.or find out what is really happening to this vehicle and have them all recalled to fix the problem.

Without any warning - no high temp light or any engine light - the water pump failed causing severe damage to the engine because it caused the timing chain to go slack and allowing coolant to get into the engine. This seems to be a known issue with this engine. I ran diagnosis the same morning with perfect results before failure. I was turning onto my street when vehicle lost power and would not start again.
I was stoped at stop sign my 2008 ford edge with no signs of problems. When i started to pull out there was low power and the wrench signal went on.car would not go faster then 5mph.i was very concerned for cars in back of were impatient and passing.i researched this problem on the inertnet and it seems to be happening with alot of these make and model cars.
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!!!!
I see similar complaints on your web site, about rough shifting into reverse from the parked position and when backing up from the drive position.is there a planed recall for this issue?

Car loses all power unexpectedly and randomly, at any and all speeds, anywhere, anytime, displaying odo data error, transmission violently shakes into gears, car revs up but does not accelarate, upon turning car off, removing key, opening door, reinserting and restarting car (if you managed to safely pull on the side of the road), all error displays disappear, transmission clunks in gear and car needs to be forced to rev up to reset, once it resets car drives normally again till next failure. Ford dealers unable to diagnose problem as it leaves no codes. First time charged $800 for "possible" cause that wasn't, now $1700 as pcm melted and took along with it all ignition coils. Guess what, odo data error and transmission trouble still present. Both the ford company and you people at the nhtsa need to step up to the plate and if ford doesn't voluntarily recall the edge, you ought to force them to recall it before someone gets mauled. This auto defect is an absolute danger to the operator and anyone else on the road.

Vehicle was taken to power ford in valencia for standard service a week ago.41,000 miles new tires bought- was told all was ok. One week later i am driving when suddenly speedometer stops and mileage is reading --- grinding noise then a wrench icon appears which means the powertrain is malfunctioning, then the air bag light went on and then an !icon which means there is a problem with tires. Terrified, i called power ford and told to bring it in... I was less than a half a mile away, and put on my hazard lights and barely made it the few clocks to the dealership. This is a haunting problem that i have read at least a dozen comments about the power train. Had i been ion the freeway i don't think i would be alive. Please investigate this issue with the ford edge. I did not know the outcome at all. Thank you

I just been told by koons that i would have to pay 1,300 to fix a throttle issue on my 2008 ford edge, which i purchased as a used vehicle labor day special 2014. The car stalls, stops, acceleration is affected. Ford knows the throttles are faulty and instead of recalling, they did a customer satisfaction and agreed to repair affected edge from 2009-2014. This is bogus i have 2008, which that has this issue. I refuse to pay this and don't have the money to invest in junk. Koons told me because of my hesitation i was investigating in a car that has valued equity & would offer great trade. They knew..they yet put me in another dangerous car. I had accident as well, driving ca lost speed & stalled while crossing over in parking lot.

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 my car, all of sudden the car just stops with the dash board displaying everything.when try to restart the car, it sounds like the car is trying to start even after releasing the key but it doesn't start.all power is lost except for the lights and radio.the car will eventually start after a couple of minutes and you start driving and it happens again.had car towed to auto repair place where diagnostics didn't show anything.the mechanic did drive the car and it stalled on him.he thought it was the "fuel kill switch" because it reset it and the car started.the switch was replaced and the car ran fine for 2 days then while driving on the highway started loosing speed and was unable to accelerate.the rpm's decreased then jumped up like the car had restarted.this happened twice then i lost all power and had to coast over to the shoulder.
Water pump went out causing car to overheat. Over view of vehicle determined that when the pump went out it mixed the antifreeze and oil inside the engine. Instead of just replacing the water pump now i need a whole new engine.
Beneath the drivers seat, there is a loud sound that resignates throughout the vehicle. Also the electrical panel had to be replaced and sensors go off periodically.
At a stop sign, stepped on the gas, the car wouldn't move. Still running and in gear.apparent water pump failure with no warning at all. Leaked antifreeze into the oil.no recalls or tsbs on the water pump.

Driving on freeway at 55mph, started up hill,motor had died. Was able to restart, but had less power. Once rpm's were above 2,000 would do reg. Speed. Got worse,left on road, later same day husband drove home, no problems. Same problem more often. Dealer changed sensor,as they were unsure of problem. Over $600.00. Has started doing same thing again.## vin failed ##

Was driving on freeway about to exit and transmission sounded as if it got stuck on 2nd gear. Engine sounded loud at high rpms and my speed dropped. I got the vehicle towed to my well trusted mechanic and he concluded that my transmission needs to be replace. Vehicle only has 65,500 miles.
Without any warning or codes, the car stopped running. Upon restart the fan ran extremely fast and loud. Upon inspection, the water pump gaskets had essentially melted, all coolant had leaked out and the entire coolant/water pump system needed to be fixed and replaced at a cost of more than $3,000.of course the vehicle was only 8,000 miles out of warranty. I've seen at least one other complaint identical to this one. It is quoted here: "discovered my 2008 edge has a failed water pump asy. Car overheated due to this. According to several seasoned mechanics and ford, this should not happen to this car with this amount of mileage. The way this car was engineered, it is a $2300+ repair - for a water pump! spoke with ford several times asking for them to step-up and take responsibility. Got no help except i should keep my receipts. Very disappointed in ford."
Two weeks ago i was driving on nj rout 9 when the transmission sounded like it was in neutral but it wasn't. All the warning lights were on and was able to drive to a safe area and stop. I did not turn the car off and exited the car and tried to open the rear doors and hatch but couldn't. Next i turned the car off and waited a few minutes before starting it. When it started, all was fine. The next morning i drove it to a transmission shop without incident. There was only 62,000 miles on it at the time but the warranty expired because it was more than seven years. The oss was replaced at a cost of 750.00. This is not the firs major issue with this vehicle. Less than one year ago two coils faulted causing a back feed of too much voltage to the computer causing it to fry. A cost of more than 3,000.00 to repair.
Entering highway and auto would not shift gears or accelerate.stayed idle at over 5 rpm's and had to pull off the road.seemed like a transmission problem. Towed to repair shop for assessment.still at shop. This vehicle on multiple occasions before this incident has regularly engaged in a violent jerk when i have engaged it in drive or reverse. Seems like a transmission issue but dealer wont do anything unless they can duplicate problem.i have seen and know of numerous other ford edge owners that have had the same issue and no fix has been found or dealer and ford wont fix unless it duplicated the issue while they have the vehicle and most times its something not covered.this is a serious safety issue and they need to be held accountable.
The contact owns a 2008 ford edge. While driving approximately 60 mph, the vehicle decelerated to 5 mph to 10 mph. The wrench warning indicator illuminated and the odometer reading reduced to zero. The engine revved rapidly. The vehicle also backfired. The vehicle was maneuvered to the side of the road where the engine was turned off. After restarting, the vehicle resumed normal operation. The failure recurred numerous times and became progressively worse over a period of time. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 120,000.
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.

The contact owns a 2008 ford edge. While driving approximately 40 mph, the contact heard a clattering noise emitting from the vehicle. The contact also noticed hot water coming from the vehicle. The contact lifted the hood and observed that the vehicle's water pump had burst, which caused water to leak into the engine. A certified mechanic diagnosed that the water pump failed and caused the engine to fail as well. The water pump, timing chain, tensioners, phasers, and several other unidentified parts needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The contact called white ford lincoln (located at 4120 front st, winnsboro, la 71295; 888-303-4692) and was informed that the water pump entered the engine, which caused failures to occur, and that they would have to contact the corporate office.

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.
The contact owns a 2008 ford edge. While driving 35 mph, the vehicle began to jerk and the check engine warning light illuminated.

While preparing to stop at a light, seemed to have lost all power. Speedometer dropped to zero, airbag light came on and odometer was blank with a readout in its place that said something like odo failure also the wrench icon lit up. Shifted to park and the car jumped and jerked and loud grinding noises came from transmission.was able to creep to a side street.turned off engine . Waited several minutes , restarted car and the instrument panel returned to normal. Drove home about 3 miles. Took it to shop and they said it was a shaft seal. They replaced it for $182.00 the part was $12. Got home and it leaks very badly it has leaked about a cup of fluid in 4 hours.(this was parked / not running) i am taking it back to the shop and hoping they can fix it right. I have been driving for over 30 years and never had this kind of problem.
When i put into gear the transmission jerks into gear. All the vehicle codes go off at once. One incident i lost power when i came to a stop at an intersection. I accelerated and vehicle hesitated to accelerate. The. Speedometer read zero and i was clearly going over 40mph. I have only had the vehicle 7mos. I took it in for service at the ford dealer twice and was told it was nothing and that it might be the battery. Today is the final straw.i am writing this at the ford dealer. The transmission is jerking way to much. It is unsafe to drive. And they are trying to put me in a new car..i want my car fixed. .
Foul odor in cabin after stopping vehicle.smells like burning oil or other fluids.internet search reveals possible manufacturer defect related to leaking ptu in awd vehicles causing fluid to leak on to exhaust piping resulting in this odor.the smell is very nauseous and prolongs exposure could make passengers feel ill and safety concerns with breathing in these fumes is questioned.
The contact owns a 2008 ford edge. While driving 5 to 6 mph the vehicle stalled. The contact stated the steering wheel and the brakes locked. She turned the vehicle off restarted it; although it began to function normally, withina few minutes it stalled again. She stated that the lower the speed the more the vehicle would stall, the brakes and steering wheel would also lock. The higher the speed the vehicle would stall but it would restart automatically. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer who reprogrammed the computer on july 19,2010. The failure recurred several times. The vehicle was at the dealership when the complaint was filed. She was unable to provide a vin. The failure and current mileages were 31,500.
Discovered my 2008 edge has a failed water pump asy. Car overheated due to this. According to several seasoned mechanics and ford, this should not happen to this car with this amount of mileage.the way this car was engineered, it is a $2300+ repair - for a water pump! spoke with ford several times asking for them to step-up and take responsibility.got no help except i should keep my receipts. Very disappointed in ford.
The contact owns a 2008 ford edge. The contact stated that the vehicle accelerated very slowly from stops. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer on fifteen occasions, but they could not diagnose a failure. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer and the contact was finally informed that the vehicle was equipped with incorrect cam phasers. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure continued. The vehicle was again taken back to the dealer and the contact was informed that the axle and wheel bearings were damaged. The contact was informed that this may be the cause of the poor acceleration failure. The vehicle was again repaired and the failure continued. The failure mileage was 30,000.
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.
Edge had started to drive sluggish, could not get up to speed or get car into next gear. Driving home from vacation, car was very sluggish going up hills and rpm needle would rev high before able to shift to next gear.check engine light came on with code of p061. Found ford dealer locally who replaced filter. Car drove better for 1/2 day, then back to sluggish and not able to change gears. Took back to my ford dealer, replaced maf sensor and throttle body assembly for $645. 10 months later city driving in heavy traffic, car is starting to slip into sluggish mode and having trouble shifting to next gear. Rpm needle revs high before shifting gear. Will watch closely before taking back to dealer again. Notice hundreds of complaints for same problem with the ford edge.
Ongoing transmissionissues since purchased new. Been to repair for more than 17 days and issues still remain unresolved. Took car in for regularscheduled oil changes and repairs.at approximately 30,000 miles the camphasers ( ford admitted wrong camphasers had been installed) were replaced. Coolant problem discovered as well when vehicle engine was removed. Odd odor coming from heater, when vehicle returned after camphaser and coolant issue did not resolve situation, and vehicle returned to galpin ford service, was told that axle and bearing were broken and that the steering wheel was not in proper position.i am deeply concerned for other ford edge owners as well as members of the public who may be affected by vehicle that does not properly engage and appears to stall before moving forward....this is an enormously serious issue, that should not be ignored. Reading the prior complaints, tells me this is not a new problem, and that consumers and ford are aware of the transmissions issues. Please assist.
The contact owns a 2008 ford edge.the contact stated while driving approximately 60 mph, there was a sudden increase in engine rpms as the vehicle overheated.the contact managed to veered into the slow lane and continue to coast to her residence.on a different occasion, the contact noticed that the check engine warning light illuminated whenever the fuel tank was low on fuel.also, the battery was not working properly.the failure recurred multiple times.the vehicle was taken to an independent dealer for a diagnosis. The technician was unable to locate a problem but replaced the battery. The failure recurred. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 100.
I began to notice a white dust blowing from my vents when i turned the air conditioner on about a month ago.i had an independent repair shop as well as a ford dealership look at this and they both agreed that it was "flux" that was coming off of the evaporator.i was told by the independent repair shop that this was toxic and that it needed repaired immediately.the dealership said this was a known defect but that i would have to pay for it because the vehicle is no longer under warranty.
The contact owns a 2008 ford edge. She stated that while driving at speeds of 75 mph, the vehicle stalled. All instrument panel lights illuminated on the warning panel. She was able to coast off of the highway and contacted the dealer. The dealer could not duplicate the failure. The vehicle stalled three additional times, each time the vehicle was taken to the dealer and the failure could not be duplicated. The dealer advised installing an event data recorder (edr or black box) in order to pin point the exact reason for the failure and also replaced the starter, under warranty, in hopes it would correct the failure. The contact was concerned with her safety and the possibility of a crash. The vehicle was in possession of the dealer. The failure and current mileages were under 19,500.
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.
Left turn signal light socket keeps burning out bulbs. Last one melted some of the bulb. Socket is burned and blacken. This has happened 3 tones in 6 months.
Burnt out turn signal bulb. Upon installation of new bulb i found the socket to be melted on both sides. Took car into ford dealership where they replaced the sockets and inserted new bulbs.

Burnt stop/signal lamp sockets on 2008 ford edge.both left and right side.
I have a 2008 ford edge sel.when turning on my left blinker it was blinking rapidly which i knew indicated a light was out.i found that it was my driver side rear blinker/tail light. I went to the store and purchased the bulb. When i got home to replace it i found that i could not remove the bulb as the socket has melted.i searched online and found that this is common for this type of vehicle.
At 40,000 miles rear blinker bulb went out and upon replacement the bulb had melt and the socket showed heat scorch.ford said this was common on edges.at 85,000 the same thing occurred however this time the bulbs had major melt at the base of the bulb.ford says they now have a tech bulletin and says to use a new part number bulb.very apparent that the bulb was experiencing a high temperature that caused the melt.
Tail light assembly melted completed and burnt leaving plastic melted inside the light assembly. No warning, no fuses gone bad just the light completed melted the inside area where the bulb goes and the light assembly burnt completely.
The driver side brake/turn signal stopped working on 10/10/19 and when i removed the taillight the socket was melted together with the light assembly wish i had a hard time taking it apart, i called ford service department and they said there was nothing they can do aboutunless i pay to fix it, the car parts shouldn't melt that is why the vehicle is equipped with fuses to burn out before the vehicle catches on fire. The print on the melted part number is: 2u5a 13411-08 080651109
Rear drivers side turn signal lamp went out, when i went to replace bulb i noticed rear tail lamp turn signal-parking lamp sockets are burnt and would seem to be a possible fire hazard,other people have complained about other ford vehicles with the same condition. But ford doesn't seem to think there is a problem.
Tail light and blinker baulb keep melting and burning
Left rear tail light burned out check bulb come to find out the socket is burned brown and the socket very crisp falling apart due to over heated socket this should be replaced by ford. This may cause a fire hazard, take your vehicle to the dealer and have this checked before you have a fire!!! i found this when i checked to see if the turn signal/brake light were working.
The contact owns a 2008 ford edge. The contact stated that the tail lights had to continuously be replaced due to them melting and burning. The vehicle was repaired but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 85,000.
My brakes make a hissing noise when i press down.. I have to press all the way down to get it to stop. This is very dangerous.also, my back tail lite has had to be replaced 2 times because the socket got hot. Also, my car jumps sometimes when pressing on the gas(transmission issue?) i have also had the gas tank replaced(due to a recall)
I noticed at a stop light, when making a left turn, the inside indicator was blinking fast, telling me i had an issue. Once home, i checked my turn signals, driver side was not working at all. Had my son change the bulb and found the plastic at the base of the bulb was severely melted. The socket was darkened but still in working order, replaced the bulb and is working for now.went to ford dealer that i bought the vehicle from and they said they knew nothing about this issue with other edge's. (what ever !)i wanted them to look and the socket and harness but they wanted $98.00 just to "check it out". And of course, i'm out of the 30 month / 36k warranty. Good thing i carry full coverage, because if the car burns to the ground, you can bet i won't be buying another ford.
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
Melted rear turn signal socket. It is the second time i have to change the light bulb and socket. This is dangerous!
The contact owns a 2008 ford edge. The contact stated that the right rear brake light stopped working. When he replaced the light he noticed that the wires had melted. The vehicle was inspected by a dealer who informed him that he needed to replace the bulb and that the failure occurred often in ford vehicles. The vehiclewas repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 27,500.
Rear tail lights stopped working. Upon inspection the bulb connector and socket had over heated and melted.
Vehicle continously fries turn signal lamps. I've replaced 12 of them since we bought it 4 years ago. Every 4-6 months it actually melts the bulb housing and i have to pry it out. If the vehicle catches fire i plan to sue ford. No pattern to when they burn it. Completely random but i've saved photos of each one.
When replacing my tail light i found that the socket for main brake light was burnt up. The light bulb was melted to the socket. I replaced the light and the socket but the driver side is still not working. I checked the passenger side and it was also burnt but not as badly.

Vehicle rolls when placed in park, vehicle rolls backwards on inclines while vehicle is in drive, rear bulb constantly burns out, strut and suspension failed.
When replacing my left rear signal light i noticed that the base of the turn signal bulb was melted. I removed the bulb and replaced with a new one and the turn signal worked fine.even though the right rear signal light was working, i went to replace it as well and noticed that it too had a melted bulb base.
The left rear turn signal stopped working.after searching online i discovered it was a commonly reported problem.upon removing the lens assembly i noticed the same thing others are reporting.the plastic base of the bulb is melted.the bulb is still good however.the bulb socket is charred obviously from excessive heat.nothing else including the rubber gasket around the socket seems to have been affected by this heat.
Rear turn signal and brake light overheated and started to melt the bulb and connectors.
Both my rear turning signal light sockets have melted.
When using the correct bulbs as listed by ford, both rear tail light bulbs continue to melt/burn in their sockets causing frequent bulb failure, smoldering of the socket, and small fire without warning!do a simple online search and you will see how common an issue it is amongst 2008 ford edge owners, yet ford denies all claims!
Driver's side brake light bulb melted in the socket. Socket is charred, melted and had ashes when the melted bulb was removed
Both of my tail lights (brakes and turn signals) on both right and left rear went out. Upon inspection, i discovered that the lights had melted at the base and there was black soot covering each bulb and residue in the light assembly from what appeared to be a small fire. I replaced the bulbs and have had no further issues. Ford declined to respond to my concern.
Tail light bulb burnt out.appears socket is burnt.dealership said no problem with socket only the bulb.i looked on line and appears a lot of people are observing burnt and melted bulb sockets on a lot of vehicles.
I bought this 08 ford edge sel awd with 74000 miles . Ive had it less than a year and had the following problems.* stalling.* loud clunking in reverse and jumps into gear.* front driverside and passenger side window pillars are big blind spot. Very dangerous almost hit pedestrians.* vehicle rolls back on small inclines. Almost rolled into vehicle behind me. Very dangerous.* vehicle struggles in reverse up small inclines.* driverside headlight was out for a month cause car needed software update.truck stalled again today this time i turned off and on wouldn't go in reverse instead drove forward almost hitting parked car... Still have popping noise in front endclunking noise in reverse sometimes again.. Im starting to get nervous cuz my daughter was in the car with me. - emailed to ford service center rep. Oct. 1st. Ford mechanics say there is nothing wrong with vehicle yet it has stalled 4x and has problems in reverse . Car has been in the shop 6x for same issue . Im tired of bringing it back and forth.
About 3 months ago the drivers side front door ajar light was staying on and would not go away even the door was closed.we have been all kinds of other problems related to this problem such as door chimes going off randomly all the time the dome lights will not turn off when car is parked and shut off. The noise and lights are a major distraction.the other problem we have experienced with the vehicle but have had fixed is the two rear wheel bearings have been replaced.the first when the vehicle had only 36,000 plus or minus a thousand or two and the other when we only had 60,000 miles on vehicle.this is expensive and should not go bad in that short of time.we do not pull anything with the vehicle or drive it rough.
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.
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.clearly if you do research on the internet this has been a problem with the ford edges for several years.
Right rear turn signal was not working. When i went to replace the bulb, i noticed the base of the bulb had melted, the socket was slightly deformed and discolored with soot.i checked online and found several hundred postings of the same problem with ford edge cars from many different model years. Curious how many it takes for a recall.
The rear tail light sockets for the tail/brake light lamps are badly burned on both sides. We noticed the problem when we changed the tail light housing due to water vapor build up. Only the right side had the visible water vapor. Both sides had the burned lamp sockets. The car was purchased used.
Rear tail light bulbs (brake/signal) burnt and melted in socket housing on both sides. Possible eletrical short fire hazard.
The door ajar light stays on, not all of the time, and causing the battery to die. I transport kids and travel so it is very stressful not knowing if my car will be dead or noy when i get back to it.
Right brake light and turn signal keep blowing and look burnt.
I have a 2008 edge with 18,000 miles on it.one week ago my left turn signal stopped working.on investigation i discovered the socket holding the bulb had melted.with 13 days left on the warranty i took it to ford, they replaced it and the bulb.when i got home i check the right turn signal, same thing, socket was burned worse.they are replacing this today as they did not have another socket in stock.i am going to take a picture of this.
I recently boughtused 2008 ford edge. My tail light went out and when i went to change the bulb, i discovered the bulb and the whole socket to be burnt and melted. I took to google and found everyone complaining about the same issue!! this could definitely be a fire hazard, it has me worried with 2 kids in my car!!
Tail light sockets melting causing the bulbs to blow and not work. Have had to change both sides three times now. Also the takata airbag has still not been replaced. The dealership stated they still do not have the parts to fix it. I am very concerned about both these things.
Tail lights burn up, melt. Sockets are burned black......
Right brake bulb went out so took the bulb out to replace it and notice the black/plastic part of the bulb was melted. So i took the other side off and found same issue.
Takata recall i am writing due to a problem with burnt/melted taillight bulb/socket. I noticed that my taillight is burning out much sooner than it should and it is caused by the socket which is burnt and melted.how can i resolve this problem.
I bought a used 2008 ford edge, tail light bulb was burnt out soon after i bought it. Went to change the bulb and discovered the socket was burnt up and melted. Checked the other side and had the same issue! this could definitely be a fire hazard! googled the problem and found everyone complaining about the same issue!
Making a left turn using my turn signal, the turn signal lamp on the dashboard started to flash very rapidly.i recognized this as a burned-out lamp.after stopping i checked to find the left rear lamp was not blinking.the basic running light worked however.upon removing the assembly, i found the lamp socket partially melted and charred.i removed the lamp, which tested out to be good.the socket had failed.i then removed the right-hand rear lamp assembly and found that it has been very hot as was somewhat charred.i will replace both.
While driving with my 6 month old son in the car, i couldn't stop using my brakes! i almost crashed!! i looked up the symptoms online and everyone is complaining about this issue. It seems the brake booster fails and the brakes do not work!!!the other issue i have seen, hundreds of people complaining about rear tail lights blowing out and when changing out the bulbs, the bulb sockets are burnt and melted! mine are the same, burnt up and melted. It is a fire hazard waiting to happen!!
Upon driving home noted my left turn signal was blinking quickly - which i assumed (and found to be correct that the bulb was out.upon arriving home, i check the lights.it was difficult to see, however, i found the light bulb for rear/backup, and turn signal was out, and then noted that my left read lamp/bulb (larger) bulb was black, melted, and required plyers to remove from socket.it appeared to overhead/melt.replacement bulb did work, but uncertain as to the use of the blackened socket.rear brake/tail light socket on the leftrear of vehicle has overheated and melted the plastic around lamp. Lamp was burnt out. Not sure what caused the high heat problem. No fuse was blown, new bulb worked in socket.
The driver door ajar warning is illuminated on the dash and the doom lights wont turn off. I have found out this is a very common issue with fords where the poorly designed door latch binds up. I had this same issue with my 2002 explorer and now with my 2008 edge. 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. From what i can tell i have been lucky to get this far before this issue has surfaced since i have read that ford cars 2 to 3 years old seem to have this very same issue.
I have had to constantly replace the bulb for the driver side light enclosure.the bulb blows out shortly after replacing.most recently it was changed on april 4th and blew out april 6th
Recently had to replace both of my tail light sockets, due to burning out and melting. Wondering if this is a problem that ford is aware of? happening without any warnings of course.
Left rear turn/tail light is continually not working.i replace the bulb, thinking that would correct the issue but as it turned the bulb melted into the socket which had to be replaced.i've replaced the socket/connector 2x and now it's looks like replacement #3 is inevitable. I researched the internet for similar complaints and found several postings of the same problem.can anyone tell me if there is a recall on this issue? if not, there should be one!
I discovered both of my rear brake light bulbs melted in their sockets. The sockets themselves are burnt black and the drivers side tail light case has been hot enough to melt. Both brake lights keep melting and going out with no known reason presented by ford.
My wife and i purchased our ford edge used from a dealer, it is the limited model.drove the car for a few days after our purchase and everything seemed fine.on the third day i noticed my drivers side rear indicator lamp wasn't working.on inspection the bulb and socket were melted together and i was unable to remove the bulb.both filaments in the bulb were in-tact.the failure appeared to be related to the socket getting so hot that it actually melted and failed.i have not checked the rear passenger side but i'm assuming i will find a burned socket.
Rear turn light sockets burn up with no warning light to display that your rear lights no longer work.you do not know until the police pulls you over to tell you which can result in fines.i had to pay to replace both rear light sockets (approx. $150)
Door ajar icon on all doors closed dome lights only go off when car is in motion however if you hit brakes as if your going to stop dome lights come back on .
Driver's door ajar light comes on. Making a dining sound continuously,turning interior car lights on, and won't allow doors to lock. But the door is shut. This concerns me with the lights turning on at night, and what if i really do have a door that isn't shut. This can happen as soon as you start the car, or later while driving down the road.
Three days after passing my annual texas state inspection while driving through town i initiated my left turn signal only to have the indicator blink very quickly (not the normal tick-tick-tick blink).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.that must have been some power surge to do that kind of damage.
Driver's side rear turn signal light quit.the socket was burned.replaced it.same problem several months later on the passenger side.rear turn signal, socket was burned.now (april 13, 2014) the driver's side rear turn signal has burned up again.the socket is black, lamp is extremely overheated and destroyed.
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 always maintained my "pre-owned" vehicle, purchased from dealership with 25,000 miles. Began to experience a plethora of problems after 2,000 miles. I've paid over $8,000 in repairs and only drove it 35,000 in 8 years time, but maintained it properly & regularly: i've had to change the brakes & pads, & battery twice, it's wheel rims constantly leak air in the winter causing flat tires, changed all 4 tires, and on august 2, 20017, while driving on the highway at 60 mph, my steering control suddenly locked up! there was no control over the vehicle's movements- no ability to make lane adjustments or turns! i and my entire family including grandchildren could have been killed!! luckily, the next off-ramp was a straight shot & i was able to exit the hwy safely and bring the vehicle to stop despite no steering control. I had my vehicle towed to a ford dealership which incorrectly diagnosed the problem, & did not bother to inspect it for three days. It now needs a costly ($1500) rack and pinion to replace it's rusted out pressurized fuel line for power steering fluid. It remains unrepaired to date since there is also a takata airbag recall w/ possible fatal injury on this vin. The repairs have been delayed because this vehicle is an unsafe danger to drive! the fuel line defect was undetectable even though i had regular maintenance care and checkups.

I am unable to "select affected parts" in this form:parts - power train, transmission, battery. Over the past 6 months there have been numerous incidents where my vehicle, upon returning to speed or entering a roadway/highway, or otherwise entering a roadway, it has made a noise, a sudden jerk, seem to hold speed (fail to increase speed) and seems to feel like it is failing to changed gears (appears to rev in rpms slightly), then jerks again, and comes back into routine shifting.it is an automatic.this happens often.i have had the fluid check, flushed, replaced, asked my mechanic and she can find no issues.it seems to feel like it bogs down, but rpms appear to increase (almost as if it is not in gear/neutral).it seems to be happening more and more frequently.i have routinely checked my car for recalls. And i should note have had the ball bearing go bad (as recalled) and replaced, including the entire arm on the left rear. Additionally, my battery has failed and been replaced (approximately 3 years ago) and has since required replacement again.it needs to be jumped started, and upon first replacement (by ford) it was noted not all cylinders or cells were charged/charging.
Takata recall and possible fuel leak recall. Purchased vehicle 6/6/2015 and have never received recall notice letter, nor was vehicle fixed by dealer.
The vechile loss power and stalled out. After that the car on the second occurrence won"t start had to charge battery the car raced whiled idling and had no power to run. Went back to the dealer and are unable to find any problem. So we are now stuck with a car that will shut down and lose all power which is not safe to drive do to the fact that if we drove it at night and stalls out we lose all power and with no power the other cars may run into us and cause an accident which we are unable to prevent.thank youthis is a dangerous situation.

My fuel tank leaks . It only leaks when i fill my tank with gas. I have to it at half a tank
Whether vehicle is stationary or moving it leaks fuel from the gas tank or the seals, or the brackets. We are only able to fill it a half tank at a time. Even then, turning a corner too sharp will cause the smell and leakage of fuel. We called and there is no recall on my vehicle. I do not see how there is not. It randomly started happening one day. I have been dealing with it for a while now. Hoping that a recall would come up or some type of investigation.
While preparing to stop at a light, seemed to have lost all power. Speedometer dropped to zero, airbag light came on and odometer was blank with a readout in its place that said something like odo failure also the wrench icon lit up. Shifted to park and the car jumped and jerked and loud grinding noises came from transmission.was able to creep to a side street.turned off engine . Waited several minutes , restarted car and the instrument panel returned to normal. Drove home about 3 miles. Took it to shop and they said it was a shaft seal. They replaced it for $182.00 the part was $12. Got home and it leaks very badly it has leaked about a cup of fluid in 4 hours.(this was parked / not running) i am taking it back to the shop and hoping they can fix it right. I have been driving for over 30 years and never had this kind of problem.

I was in motion heading to work, as i was approaching a signal light , and tapped the brakes, i started to smell a rubber gas leak smell. This is has been occuring for the last six months ive had the brakes change. Still the smell of burnt tar or gas fumes is loud whenever the brakes, a/c, or heat is on.
I did not own this vehicle when the recall was produced i have own this car for about 2 years with no problem until about 2 weeks ago i discovered that there is gas leaking from the bracket of the gas tank. Once in park you can either smell a strong odor of gas and you can see where the the gas has been leaking onto the ground

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.[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Vehicle transmission failed in highway speed traffic ,starting with large clunks and erratic shifting, total loss of acceleration ,leading to very unsafe travel on freeway. No shoulder on road, stopped with no power to transmission .state police cordoned off the area enough for tow 45 min. Later . Still having problems with erratic stopping and going, sometimes you have to go to 3000 rpm until trans mission catches and causes unsafe acceleration . Only 50k on vehicle and ford does not acknowledgea problem ,many other complaints and video found on the web you-tube and such . How many complaints or injury's before a recall? please respond. Thank you!
The contact owns a 2008 ford edge. The contact stated that the vehicle accelerated very slowly from stops. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer on fifteen occasions, but they could not diagnose a failure. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer and the contact was finally informed that the vehicle was equipped with incorrect cam phasers. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure continued. The vehicle was again taken back to the dealer and the contact was informed that the axle and wheel bearings were damaged. The contact was informed that this may be the cause of the poor acceleration failure. The vehicle was again repaired and the failure continued. The failure mileage was 30,000.
This has been an ongoing problem for a while now (years).what is happening is my transmission is struggling to shift into gear, but more often when traveling at approximately 15-25 mph. At this speed, it will shift but oftentimes when it shifts there is a thud and hard jerk, almost seeming as my transmission is going to drop right out of my car.when i first had this diagnosed,the dealership thought perhaps my pcm needed recalibrated.shortly after the recalibration, the entire pcm fried and it needed replaced.luckily, it was covered under an 80,000 mile warranty (my car had about 75,000 miles on it...phew).needless to say, after the entire pcm replacement, my car still struggles to shift and, unfortunately, it seems like i am not the only one having this problem.
2008 ford edge on occasion will jerk when taking off
While driving vehicle transmission skipped a couple of times. After stopping the transmission made a whining noise. When i moved forward it was very slow to move and would not accelerate properly. Arriving home i put the vehicle in reverse and it made a clunking noise. It is currently at the transmission shop for evaluation.
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.
I just been told by koons that i would have to pay 1,300 to fix a throttle issue on my 2008 ford edge, which i purchased as a used vehicle labor day special 2014. The car stalls, stops, acceleration is affected. Ford knows the throttles are faulty and instead of recalling, they did a customer satisfaction and agreed to repair affected edge from 2009-2014. This is bogus i have 2008, which that has this issue. I refuse to pay this and don't have the money to invest in junk. Koons told me because of my hesitation i was investigating in a car that has valued equity & would offer great trade. They knew..they yet put me in another dangerous car. I had accident as well, driving ca lost speed & stalled while crossing over in parking lot.
The vechile loss power and stalled out. After that the car on the second occurrence won"t start had to charge battery the car raced whiled idling and had no power to run. Went back to the dealer and are unable to find any problem. So we are now stuck with a car that will shut down and lose all power which is not safe to drive do to the fact that if we drove it at night and stalls out we lose all power and with no power the other cars may run into us and cause an accident which we are unable to prevent.thank youthis is a dangerous situation.

In august 2015 my wife was driving the vehicle at 45 mph on a four lane road when the vehicle came to a sudden crawl approx .10 mph. This was on a city street.she could barely get off the road with limited power. She called me to come to the scene and we had to have the vehicle towed to our mechanic. At the time, the vehicle had 61,000 miles on it.the mechanic called and stated the problem code showed it was the output speed sensor (oss) and it would need to be replaced along with the fluid. Upon picking up the vehicle, it was repaired properly and was back to normal. It was repaired by a ase master mechanic.the delay in reporting this incident is two fold. Since the august 2015 incident, i have since discovered checking on-line there are numerous cases of the 2007 & 2008 ford edge doing this. Recently, i parked next to a lady loading her groceries in a 2008 ford edge. When i asked her how she likedher edge, you guessed it, they were on a family trip when the oss went out on hers. She stated hers was fixed under warranty . My repair cost $370.00 which was a fair price. It is my personal opinion, ford knows this is a major safety issue but the facts are enough people to not complain to nhtsa and this keeps from ford having to announce a recall on the 2007 & 2008 ford edge.
I pulled out of my driveway and everything was fine. I pulled out of my neighborhood and as soon as i gave it any good amount of gas it starting driving really rough and shaking and the a/c went out you could hear the misfire on the cylinders and the transmission was revving high before it would shift gears. No check engine lights or anything at this point. I turned back around and took my car back home turned it off and then turned it back on and that's when the check engine light came on. We pulled the code and it was p0352 (ignition coil 2 or pcm) so we bought and changed all spark plugs and coil 2. This still didn't fix the problem. So i took it in to the dealership and $3000 later they had to replace my pcm (the main computer that run the car) all 6 coils and spark plugs. 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.
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.
While trying to get on the highway at around 40 to 50 mph the vehicle would not accelerate and started to hesitate. The rpms went up but the shift did not happen for many seconds later and with a loud clunk when it did shift and then we would accelerate and it would make a sound again and down shift. We have taken it to dealer and they do not find any problem. After reading on the internet other people having the same problem with their 2008 ford edge awd limited,i cannot believe there is not a recall on this problem.
As everyone else with 08 edge the transmission loses power. Entering hwy and press on gas, no pickup just stalls out. Reported to energy country ford on 3 different visits, in port arthur, tx and of course they said nothing wrong. Also, loud clunk from park to reverse or drive. Paint also chips/peels on this cream colored vehicle. Have seen other vehicles this color on the road and the paint around door areas peeling. Only 65k miles and well maintained. With so many reports of this issue ford surely would recall the 08 edge transmission like they have on the trucks.
When driving at low speeds and the transmission shifts from 1st to 2nd gear there is a very hard jerk when the shift is made. Also have had issues with the transmission going into a fail safe mode which puts it into 5th gear when you are trying to take off and the acceleration is very slow. Could lead to an accident while trying to cross traffic and you expect to be able to take off in first gear and have proper acceleration.
The contact owns a 2008 ford edge. While driving 10 mph, the accelerator pedal was depressed, but the vehicle seized. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to arrotta's automax and rv (6623 n division st, spokane, wa 99208, 1-509-703-7797), but the cause of the failure could not be determined. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure.the failure mileage was approximately 60,000.
Going 55 mph.all of a sudden car lose power.engine sounds like it's in neutral but shift lever is in d.if you press gas, engine speed shows on the tach but transmission not responding.made a very harrowing condition as i tried to find a safe place to pull over.when shifted from d to p, very hard jerking motion that shook the car violently, trans makes a very hard clunking noise, and as if wants to separate from the engine.same result when shifted from p to r, and p to d.car is currently parked waiting for mechanic to diagnose.don't have money to take it to overpriced dealer.from what i can see from blogs, forums, boards, etc, on the internet looks like not an isolated case.
Occasionally, (once or twice a year) the vehicle jerks violently once between 20-45 mph when slowing and then accelerating. Feels like the vehicle was rear ended or hit a huge pot hole.this has happened very intermittently. Recently, it is happening once or twice a month. Local ford dealer checked pcm (?) calibration and updated it to tsb 08.hopefully this will solve the problem.
Bought my 2008 ford edge 3 years ago with no problems. Had some work done after a wreck year and a half ago. After the repair, it began jerking whether i was on the highway or city streets. I noticed that when it jerks, i lose rpms at the same time. I have to hit the gas to get it to accelerate. Feels like the gears are slipping and it doesn't happen t consistent speeds. Some days are worse than others and some days doesn't occur at all. It will also idle rough and had before jerked when going from reverse to drive. Also, april 2014, i was backing into a parking spot when the car completely died. I turned the ignition off and then started the car again. It started right up. That is the only time that has happened.
The vehicle revs up but doesn't go anywhere then jerks into gear.
While preparing to stop at a light, seemed to have lost all power. Speedometer dropped to zero, airbag light came on and odometer was blank with a readout in its place that said something like odo failure also the wrench icon lit up. Shifted to park and the car jumped and jerked and loud grinding noises came from transmission.was able to creep to a side street.turned off engine . Waited several minutes , restarted car and the instrument panel returned to normal. Drove home about 3 miles. Took it to shop and they said it was a shaft seal. They replaced it for $182.00 the part was $12. Got home and it leaks very badly it has leaked about a cup of fluid in 4 hours.(this was parked / not running) i am taking it back to the shop and hoping they can fix it right. I have been driving for over 30 years and never had this kind of problem.
My family and i were coming home from a nice day out, we stopped at the stop light and when the light turned green we went to accelerate and there was no power, my dash lit up with a low tire pressure code, a wrench code " awd/powertrain issue" and a air bag code my odometer stopped working and the digital mileage only displayed dashes. Once we were able to make it thru the light "barely" we pulled to the side of the road where we could safely check out the vehicle. Once we determined no flat tire we tried to move forward but the vehicle would only crawl and this was putting the gas pedal all the way down.we were finally able to make it home we shut the vehicle off and when we restarted and put into gear we heard a loud clunk and the vehicle shook and rattled.i researched online i found this has happened frequentlyto many other ford edge owners with no safety recall from ford ????this is crazy someone is going to get hurt because of this issue .
Vehicle began leaking lubricant from the power take-off unit onto the exhaust pipe ahead of the catalytic converter creating a potential fire hazard. Dealership required replacing the ptu at a cost of $1845.40.
Driving the interstate,car seemed to kick out of gear an engine revved up.car then went in and out of gear.also,after that car shifted very hard in 1st 3 gears.it worked fine for awhile and then did it again a few months later..after a few more episodes over a year(did try to get it looked at,but, car wouldn't mess up for servicemen)the tranny finally went bad while my wife was going thru an intersection..luckily it coasted enough to get it off the road(high speed intersection) or who knows what may have happened..i was able to get it home in first gear as it wouldn't shift..it did go out of gear at a stop light and i had to put it into park and back into gear...i had the transmission replaced and so far so good but, this shouldn'thappen with low miles and others are having the same problem..
My wife was driving her 2008 ford escape from work on a very busyhighway when she stopped at a store got back in started the car she noticed that the airbag light was on speedometer had lines going thru it when she put it into gear it made a real loud banging sound and jerked as she was driving' the car lost compression did not have any power at all. She made it home without getting killed or killingsomeone i went out to see what was wrong and when i started the car it made a load banging 'when i put it into gear it was even worst we called a tow truck and had it towed where we had bought it at ----- ---- ----- -------- it's the only ford dealer close and they have a very poor record for backing their warranty's.it sounds to me to be the computer chip i have a warranty on it still so there should be no reason for them not to fix it but i will bet that they say that the warranty does not cover the power train but it does so if you are having this problem with your 2008 escape do not let the tell you that it is not coveredif you have a warranty.the computer chip that operates your power train is part of the power train' if not for that the car would not move unless it was being towedif you work for ford and see all of these complaint's about the same thing going on with the 2008 escape's what is it going to take before ford step's up someone to get killed.
The contact owns a 2008 ford edge. While driving 70 mph coming off a ramp, the engine seized and the vehicle slowed down as the engine continued to rev. The contact stated that no failure codes appeared when he checked on his code reader. The dealer (larry h. Miller ford lincoln draper, 11442 lone peak pkwy, draper, ut 84020, (801) 590-0561) stated that the failure may be due to the transmission. The manufacturer was not contacted. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 94,500. The vin was not available.
Edge had started to drive sluggish, could not get up to speed or get car into next gear. Driving home from vacation, car was very sluggish going up hills and rpm needle would rev high before able to shift to next gear.check engine light came on with code of p061. Found ford dealer locally who replaced filter. Car drove better for 1/2 day, then back to sluggish and not able to change gears. Took back to my ford dealer, replaced maf sensor and throttle body assembly for $645. 10 months later city driving in heavy traffic, car is starting to slip into sluggish mode and having trouble shifting to next gear. Rpm needle revs high before shifting gear. Will watch closely before taking back to dealer again. Notice hundreds of complaints for same problem with the ford edge.
I see similar complaints on your web site, about rough shifting into reverse from the parked position and when backing up from the drive position.is there a planed recall for this issue?
Auto transmission will not shift, engine revs and no power, wrench light airbag warning lights,dead speedo, odometer shows dashes.had trans fluid changed. No help.i have seen several problems noted on the internet. Dealers are not fixing the problem by rebuilding the trans for several thousand dollars. The trans failing should not affect the various electrical problems associated with this incident.the system will reset if the engine is turned off and then restarted with nothing indicating a problem. There doesnt appear to be any codes set.i urge ford to embrace these problems before someone is hurt because the trans "jumps" out of gear and causes an accident.this reported problem should not be "news" to your complaints department.i have chosen to always prefer a ford products during my 50 years of driving and expect an honest, thorough and concise investigation be given to this problem.
I purchased this vehicle, 2008 ford edge sel awd november 2014 with approximately 82,000 miles on it. Last night when driving home in very slow traffic 5 to 10 mph due to snow on the highway when traffic picked up speed i couldn't accelerate as the rpm picked up but the transmission wouldn't shift out of low. My ford edge acted like it wouldn't shift up from low so i could keep up with traffic. I had to pull over on the shoulder not knowing what to do next. I turned the engine off and restarted and it accelerated fine so i could keep up with the major traffic flow. And i did notice recently it does make a clunk when i shift into reverse. Major safety issue here as not being able to get out of traffic quickly and safely and having to pull over on the shoulder to turn the engine off and restart if there even is a shoulder to pull over too could be a danger to myself and others.
I was driving on highway when car would not go, hit the gas but car did not move.put into reverse and sounded like the transmission was going to drop, loud clunk. Fortunate to come upon a red light so cars were not moving fast to hit me or kill me!this happened another time in new jersey! yikes!! and i had to pull over, shut the car off and then restart car.i immediately took car to dealer and they did not know what it was unless message was on control panel,i went on internet to see if i could find out any info for the problem.i did find a great many complaintsfrom other people saying they had the same issues.i need to know who is responsible before i get killed.is anything being done to resolve this problem and who will correct it?please advise.
Clanking between gears at low speeds, on and off. The problem aould stop every time i brought it to ford.. Finally it got so bad one day it was just clanking between all gears, sounded like some one was smasing the under carriage with a sledge hammer. I thought the transmission went. Ford said it would be 1-2 month wait on part. They showed me 3 other ford edges sitting i n the shop with same problem. My extended warranty company found the part ( rebuilt one i believe) about 3 months later them same problem has started but less often. Everytimei bring it to fors the problem stops and i cant get it to do it when i want. So now the warranty is up... Looks like i have to wait for the part to fail again and than im in the whole 1-$2,000 !! how can ford not recall this with so many problems?
Lately when driving my edge i noticed that when i come to a complete stop the car like jerks back and makes a loud bang sound-then when i try to drive after stopping the car doesn't want to go-it's like it is just stuck there, so i have to take my foot on the gas wait a few seconds than put my foot back on the gas and than the car will go but it seems like it takes forever to get some speed. The jerking and the car not wanting to accelerate has even happen when i have been driving around 20mph- i have replaced the battery thinking maybe it was the battery and nope that didn't work. This as a mother of 3 young children has me very concerned-i have seen many complaints with the same issues i have stated above and ford has yet to correct these defects. Does someone need to lose their life before action is taken.
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 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.
The car seems to run fine in town. If it is driven about 20 miles or so on the highway, it develops the following drive train problem. When the vehicle slows or comes to a stop and the driver then accelerates, such as when driving in stop-and-go traffic on the freeway or leaving a stop light, it seems like the transmission and engine quit talking to each other and they come uncoupled during shifting. Since the gas pedal is depressed for accelerating, during the shift, the engine rpm revs up to perhaps 3000 and then the transmission abruptly shifts resulting in a heavy shock to the drive line. It does this between each gear during acceleration upshifting. If the vehicle is stopped and the transmission is shifted into reverse, there is a delay and then it shifts into reverse resulting in a similar heavy shock. I had several occurrences where i came off the freeway and stopped at the light and upon attempting to get going again, the engine was running and would rev up but the transmission was not engaged. I shifted into park and back into drive and the vehicle finally got going again with the same symptoms noted above.it seems to react the same regardless of whether the od is engaged or disengaged.we took the vehicle to one of the local ford stores several weeks ago and they said they could not recreate the symptoms.i took it to a different service department perhaps a month later and they could not find a real problem but said all the codes were fine. They deleted the adaptive transmission files and uploaded new files and the problem was fixed even though they were not sure what they did to fix it. A lengthy drive a day later went well, no problems. But on the way into work in on april 3rd the same problems are back. It's back in the shop again april 7th. Not sure what's next. Maybe the factory can offer advice?thanks
While driving at highway speed (50 -65mph), foot off accelerator and car coasting startling loud bang from transmission and entire car jerks.put foot back on accelerator and everything seems to be working.does not do it all the time but at least once a week.the bang is loud and startling almost causing accident.could not repeat issues for ford service department and they did not detect any problem in transmission.the bang is so loud must doing damage to transmission.
2008 ford edge has hard shifts (engine races like it's in neutral and then slams into gear with a loud bang) in two scenarios - from 1st to 2nd, while coasting in stop-and-go traffic, and when quickly accelerating, as in a passing maneuver, from around 35 mph. This results in unpredictable automobile performance.
While driving on a city road the car would not move when given gas. Multiple lights went on the dash board. Very dangerous situation because the car literally just stopped accelerating while in motion. Mechanic diagnosed problem as a faulty output speed sensor in the transmission. This is an on going issue that many ford edge owners are experiencing but ford is not acknowledging the problem. There should be a recall as this is a very dangerous issue. I should also be reimbursed by ford for the repair.
I have a 2008 ford edge sel that beginning last year started hesitating between 1st and 2nd gears and 1500-2000 rpm's. I have taken it to the dealership to have the computer for the transmission updated and it didn't fix the issue. The dealership can't seem to figure out the exact problem. But there are a lot of other people reporting this online as well. Ford needs to put a recall out so that consumers like me can have this issue fixed. The car also bangs when put into reverse. Please help!
While driving on highway a big bang noise happens in the car, feels and sounds like i have been hit.the car doesn't stop, keeps driving.dealers technicians say they can't fix itor don't even know what it is because it doesn't happen all the time.it is such a violent bang and jerk.only does it right now anyway, on a long drive on a highway.i am over my warranty, so very upset, as my children are in this car everyday. Just bought it and to trade it in i would loose so much money.you need to be doing recalls on this car where there are so many others posting this same problem on the ford forum.everyone saying it is transmission and when they replace it, it still doesn't work properly.this is crazy!!ford do something please!!!!!!!!!!!!
We were driving the vehicle and came to a stop sign.all of the sudden, when we hit the gas pedal, the vehicle barely moved and sounded like it was in neutral.this continued until we found a place to pull over.we put the vehicle in park, and it shifted really hard.it felt like somebody hit us from behind.it also shifted out of park very hard.we turned the car off and let it sit for a while.we started the car and it worked normal and we drove it right to the dealership.the dealership said they couldn't do anything to address the issue because they could not replicate the issue.our concern is that the vehicle is not safe to drive because it can stop accelerating at any point.the ford technician could not assure us that the vehicle was safe to drive.we contacted ford and they passed the buck back to the dealership.i understand that the dealership cannot do anything, but after reading numerous complaints of the same exact issue on forums and the nhtsa site, i feel that ford should offer some direction on how to fix this issue to their dealerships since it seems to be a common problem with the 2008 ford edge.
The transmissionstarts slipping with no warningand car won't go above 5mph until you stop turn car off and wait about 5 minutes and restart car the works fine for awhile then starts again
As i was driving, dash flashed "odo data error", then wrench light came on followed by airbag, tpm, engine light, basically all warning lights, odometer went to zero, loss of accelaration, pulled over and placed in park, car was revving high, turned car off and restarted, same, put on drive, stepped on gas, car revved but no movement. Turned car off and waited couple minutes, restated, warning lights disappeared, odometer back to actual mileage. Put on drive, step on gas, hesitation then loud transmission thump and car started moving again.
The contact owns a 2008 ford edge. While driving approximately 20 mph, the contact experienced difficulty shifting and the vehicle hesitated to accelerate. The failure happened without warning. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it could not be diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 130,000. The vin was not provided.
My 2008 ford edge was brought to the dealership after hearing a "clunking" noise and smelling exhaust coming from theunder carriage.the dealership diagnosed "...replace ptu assy fluid, had blown out vent...".the entire powertrain (583984) was replaced.this was the 2nd incident in 2 months.prior to this event i brought it to the dealership after experiencing "slipping" transmission. While coming to a stop, the transmission went into neutral.i left the car for several hours, then re-started and it ran fine. The dealership could not verify any problems.
When you step on the gas there is no power. When this happened the air bag light came on and the speedometer. Wouldn't work the tack reved up the low tire pressure light came on and the little wrench light came on. The car would not go. Now it's going to cost around $3000.00 to fix is what i was told and the car only has 90,000 miles on it. I see a lot of people are having the same issue. Ford should issue a recall for these transmissions. Before someone gets injured.i was driving down the road when i lost power good thing i could pull over safely.
Speedometer and tachometer at random speeds quits working , low tire pressure light, wrench light, airbag light, check engine light. Constant loud clunking sound when changing gears. The car kicks back as if transmission is not engaging and has loss of acceleration and wheels roll and when red light turns green, the car takes time to accelerate and wheels start rolling and make a loud sound.i pull over the vehicle on the side of the road every time and turn it off, then turn the vehicle on again so it can go back to normal. Usually happens on both city streets or highway at a random speed between 45 mph and 60 mph. 114,000 miles. I have been having this issue since i bought the vehicle on feb, 2018 and took it to multiple mechanics and all of them claimed it's either a speed sensor issue/ transmission failure/ electrical system.
My vehicle's transmission acts likes it's slipping or in neutral when it's not. Jerks when it shifts gears. Loses power when i try to accelerate. I did some research there are hundreds of complaints about the transmissions in the ford edge's. I started having issues several weeks ago back in october 2016. Why should all the owners of these defective transmission have to pay for this to be fixed. That's not right! we gave ford our hard earned money just to get a defective vehicle. Talked to ford today and they don't care. Not going to do anything they stated. Today i was at a 4 way stop in a school zone and when i wanted to take off it acted like it was in neutral. I got to where i could pull over and sat there a few minutes and was able to drive it the other mile home. It clunks when changing gears and jerks. It is a intermittent problem as it doesn't happen everyday.
The contact owns a 2008 ford edge. The contact stated that the vehicle would not accelerate from a stop. The contact also stated that the vehicle eventually jerked when it began to accelerate. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 65,000 and the current mileage was 67,000.
When driving the vehicle it loses the ability to accelerate and only allows me to try to pull off the road to a safe place with the momentum of the vehicle before it lost power. If i am not at a place where i can immediately pull off safely i am stranded in traffic.when this occurs i am able to turn off my vehicle for a short period of time and when i restart it, the vehicle resumes normal operation until this happens again.it has happened in various weather conditions and at various speeds.when the acceleration is lost the powertrain fault light comes on.
Driving down the highway at night at approx. 70 mph.all the warning lights came on in the dash.the speedo and odometer stopped working.no noise or vibrations noted.pulled off exit and stopped at stop sign.car would not move after pressing accelerator.rpms very high and car began to roll forward.eventually got up to 20mph.stopped in parking lot.shut car off for a few minutes.restarted car and put into reverse.loud bang and shudder.felt like transmission was going to explode.backed up, put car in drive, same violent reaction from transmission.drove to destination and parked overnight.next morning all was fine.transmission appeared to function normally and all dash instrumentation was working.occurred in summer of 2014.
I bought a certified pre owned 2008 edge in june 2013. I first experienced the hard jerking probably early 2014 or maybe in the winter of 2013. It had trouble shifting up when came to a complete stop. This happened several times and i took the car to the dealership but they couldn't reproduce it. They fixed a transmission leak and updated some software on two separate visits. Both times the problem went away for a few days and then came back again. It was not serious enough then. This year it occurs more often (usually in the stop and go traffic) and there is also abrupt jerk when the car shifts up from 10-20 mph or from 20-30 mph. The powertrain malfunction symbol came on today. But after i let the car sit for half an hour and restarted it, the symbol was gone. I'm taking it to the dealership soon and hope they can do something. The problem seems to only occur in cold weather. There are many people complaining about this issue online. It could be dangerous if it happens at an intersection or on a highway. Ford should recall these cars because they are unsafe to drive.
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 lostpower. I drove back to the gas station and had it towed home.
Stopped at red light- whe i tried to accelerate the car would not move- it was terrifying!! cars had to go around- was able after at least ten attempts to get the car to move to side of road. Waited and called family member for help. Was fortunately about 5 blocks form my home. Car continued to jerk forward and had to stop seevral times. It is now in my garage and awaiting a tow truck, this has been an ongoing issue with the vehicle not specifically not going but troubles with car suring repeatedly for no reason and had to replace battery 4 times and there was nothing i did to create this loss of battery. The dealership where it was fixed previously stated that " the car appears possessed". This is somehting that has apparently been a long term known issue with this vehicle. Why has it not been fully investigated. Please do something before someone is seriously hurt or worse.
The contact owns a 2008 ford edge.the contact stated that occasionally when driving at low speeds the vehicle would change gears violently, causing the vehicle to lunge forward abnormally.the dealer diagnosed that there were no failures within the vehicle.the manufacturer was contacted but denied any assistance with repairs to the vehicle.the failure mileage was unavailable and the current mileage was 41,000.
Vehicle unexpectedly and randomly displays odo data error on instrument panel, mileage and speedometer don't function, vehicle loses all power and does not accelerate. This resets itself after turning car off, removing key, then restarting car. When are you going to force ford to issue a recall, when someone dies? there are hundreds if not thousands with same complaints. Here's a sample...https://youtu.be/px3sc2ycmeo
The transmission (automatic) will not go out of the first gears. There was a loud thud noise and then the car wouldn't shift, i had to put it in neutral and then back into drive to get it to work several times.
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.
The mechanic said the transmission and transfer case exploded costing me over $2,000 in repairs. The ac quit costing around $700 in repairs. The cd/radio has an electrical issue that has not been fixed because i can't afford it estimated at another$700 in repairs.
Driving and a major road the car suddenly slowed down, it looked like someone put the brakes on, someone almost hit me from the back. After that, the car was jerking and shaking and made load noises. Unable to drive the car in drive i put the car on low gear and drove to the dealer. I was told yesterday that it is a transmission problem the cost 5,200 dollars.in november 2014 the car was leaking transmission fluid and was told it was the ptu the car only had 62,000 miles.i was told that was not covered and cost me 1,800 dollars updated 09/08/15*ljupdated 12/05/2017
While driving at 45 mph, i came to a stop light. When it was time to go, my edge would not move. I had to press the gas pedal to get to move very slowly to the side of the road. This has happen several times. Also, i stopped at my garage door and when it was time to go in, my car would not move. I put it in reverse and got a loud clanking sound. I revved the motor very high to get it to slowly inch into the garage. Thought it might go out the other side since the gas pedal was pressed pretty far down, made it. Took it to the dealer and was told it was a throttle body problem. Paid close to $1000 for repairs. Less than 1200 miles my problems started again, this time i'm told i need to replace my sensors, i did ($900). Now i'm back again. Same problem. This time i'm told i need to have my coil assy and main control checked and repair. Problem starting again. This is a safety hazard and needs to be addressed as soon as possible. Could result in a injury when you are pulling into traffic.
For no particular reason my edge decelerates to ten miles an hour while the tach reads 3rpmsit has happened on all types of roads and in traffic also. The tranny fluid is always fine. No codes on dash either. I have my gas pedal to the floor and it will only creep at 10 mph. When it reengages it is a large hard jerk forward.one evening as i pulled into my own driveway it wouldn't move forward at all i shut it off waited restarted it and it was like nothing happened. It does studder a bit going uphill almost like it doesn't want to go then it does. For a while i thought it was things like bad gasdirt in a fuel linelow fluids but it isn't this 2008s need a recall as many other edge owners have the same issues. I have made an appt for the car at the dealer and i am not convinced they know the answer either. I received the recall for the gas tank , but i want one for this as i and many other ford edge owners have the same scary power train issues reported to you nhtsa please help us . I want a recall free repairs or a trade in with out being taken advantage of because of this problem thank yousaylorsburg pennsylvania.
While normally driving, the "wrench" light will come on and the vehicle goes into a low-power "limp mode". So i pull over immediately, and put the vehicle in park, shut it off, and remove the key. I sit with it powered off for about a 10 second count, and restart the engine. The wrench light goes off, and i can drive normally until it happens again.
Check engline light & wrench comes on and the 2008 edge suddenly lost power, then entered "limp mode".my husband took it in 3 different times to the service department, and each time was told they couldn't find the problem.the 4th time i had the same problem on a 45mph, 3 lane road.the power just went out, accelarator no longer worked, but then returned but only about 5mph.lucky i wasn't killed!i took it back to service dept. And told them they needed to check the throttle body (etb).they laughed at me, but then called 3 days later to tell me that it is the etb and over $750.i contacted ford as they had issued the so-called "customer satisfaction program" extending the etb warranty coverage for up to 10 years of service or 150,000 miles. Ford says all vehicles are eligible for the program, regardless of mileage, but not 2008.though they acknowledged they know the problem goes back to 2005 models, they feel my car is too old & has too many miles at 104k.this is a life threatening problem and ford refuses to do anything.when someone dies because of this known issue, i hope that ford executives are held as complicitors in premeditated murder.after all the problems with the brakes, no parts available, and now this, i will never buy another ford and will get this piece of junk out of my life asap.
Driving down the road and the wrench light comes on, speedometer stops working and the vehicle loses power. I can also smell a burning smell. Once i have come to a stop, the transmission shifts very hard like someone has hit the vehicle. This has happened several times, including a couple of times when i pulled into traffic and the vehicle lost power, coming very close to causing an accident with oncoming traffic. Very dangerous and i am very apprehensive about driving the car due to my family's safety.
The contact owns a 2008 ford edge. The contact stated that while driving at 30 mph, the vehicle jerked as it slowed down. The contact stated that the vehicle was downshifting roughly. A dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 86,000.
My vehicle is a 2008 and it onlyhas 109,000 miles on it and i started to hear a whining sound, brought it to the auto mechanic and they said that it might be something in the transmission such as a bearing.well to my surprise they transmission dealer advised me that i needed a whole new transmission.transmissions are supposed to last a long time and this is very unexpected.$3800.00 for a new transmission. I have always heard a clunking sound coming from the transmission when it shifted gears or when i put in in reverse.
On dec 6, 2013,when starting the car after sitting for<3 hours then shifting the car into gear the car acts like it is not in gear, races the engine and the speedometer shows a speed unrelated to actual movement.there is slow movement but no actual gear engagement.car was taken to local ford dealer who spent several daysto repair the transmission. One april 20 the same episode occurred but this time i was pulling into traffic which could have caused an accident.the same symptoms occurred.
Transmission sensors are bad and vehicle has 80,000 miles.
When first started up it some times turns off with no warning. Then a constant ticking sound then intermittently when reversing the car kicks back as if transmission is not engaging and hasloss of acceleration when merging onto freeway has hesitation and almost got into a wreck a driving rpm go up and down eraticly and acceleration is slugish. Brakes are constanly quelling and they dont need replaced i just bought this car 2months ago from used car lot bought extended warranty for 1800.00but does not take effectfor 90 days but might not be able to claim since this is a problem before coverage was in effect havent even made my first paynent i will have them for 2yrs car has 150008 miles.
My edge started slipping when placed in drive so i would turn it off and turn it on until the slipping stopped after i placed it in a gear.after checking for recalls i saw several other owners complain about the same issue. The odometer screed did similar check as others coming up with dashes and cycling and checking through processes.the car was recently driven and the same slipping happened but this time it caused internal damage to the transmission. Most of the complaints i've read are in the same mileage range.
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.
Vehicle on the highway feels like im constantly being rear ended upon pressing the gas pedal and accelerating at higher speeds/gear. Had a hard thumping bang into gear like the transmission bangs into gear. Shifts fine on normal roads but only notice on the highway especially in trafiic with stop go shifting. Very scary to drive and after it happens it feels like it has no power accelerating. Mechanic cant diagnose due to not having any code stored. Seems like many edge owners experience this same issue and cant seem to fix this. Hopefully ford has this recall addressed very soon. The only reason why i bought this vehichle was safety and it seems every recall isnt living up to that standard.
My radio has a short in the hardware.factory installed radio and it will turn off and turn back on repetitively some days, not allowing me to utilize sync. Transmission has started kicking intermittently for the past month. While driving and slowing down.
I am unable to "select affected parts" in this form:parts - power train, transmission, battery. Over the past 6 months there have been numerous incidents where my vehicle, upon returning to speed or entering a roadway/highway, or otherwise entering a roadway, it has made a noise, a sudden jerk, seem to hold speed (fail to increase speed) and seems to feel like it is failing to changed gears (appears to rev in rpms slightly), then jerks again, and comes back into routine shifting.it is an automatic.this happens often.i have had the fluid check, flushed, replaced, asked my mechanic and she can find no issues.it seems to feel like it bogs down, but rpms appear to increase (almost as if it is not in gear/neutral).it seems to be happening more and more frequently.i have routinely checked my car for recalls. And i should note have had the ball bearing go bad (as recalled) and replaced, including the entire arm on the left rear. Additionally, my battery has failed and been replaced (approximately 3 years ago) and has since required replacement again.it needs to be jumped started, and upon first replacement (by ford) it was noted not all cylinders or cells were charged/charging.
2008 ford edge while driving on city streets all of a sudden the wrench light came on, airbag light, the mileage odometer blanked out and the speedometer stopped working there was a loss of power. The transmission makes a huge clunking sound and jerks into gear shifting into drive from park and reverse
Ongoing transmissionissues since purchased new. Been to repair for more than 17 days and issues still remain unresolved. Took car in for regularscheduled oil changes and repairs.at approximately 30,000 miles the camphasers ( ford admitted wrong camphasers had been installed) were replaced. Coolant problem discovered as well when vehicle engine was removed. Odd odor coming from heater, when vehicle returned after camphaser and coolant issue did not resolve situation, and vehicle returned to galpin ford service, was told that axle and bearing were broken and that the steering wheel was not in proper position.i am deeply concerned for other ford edge owners as well as members of the public who may be affected by vehicle that does not properly engage and appears to stall before moving forward....this is an enormously serious issue, that should not be ignored. Reading the prior complaints, tells me this is not a new problem, and that consumers and ford are aware of the transmissions issues. Please assist.
Transmission seems to be a issue with the ford edge. Why has there not been a recall on this product? so many complaints on the ford edge transmission. I witness this first hand, may 2, 2014. While driving on the high way, my car out of know where seem to have lost power. The only thing that was moving was the rpm, but the car was slowing down. Finally after pulling to the side of the highway, and turning the car off, it reset some how and at least got me to work. I had to get the car towed from work back home because i did not want to run into the same issue. I did research and seems like i have not been the only one with this issue. Matter of fact there is a long list on you tube. What has ford done to correct this issue. Other than repeatedly taking income from hard working consumers, for a issue that has not been resolved.
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.
Transmission failure travelling at 55 mph with transmission de-decelerating to first gear and 20 mph almost resulting in serious car accident on highway.previously no symptoms of issues while driving.
Car will jerk,slip,beat and bang. Stopped pulling at a red light. Got towed home . Took off battery cable for 30mins . Started working again for awhile. Does this often,repair shops have no clue except for new tranny.it will also try to pull forward while in parkwhen you have the other problems also. It has done this while sitting still and while running 70 on the interstate.
My wife and i were driving on the freeway, with the cruise control on. At random the care kicked out on cruise and the speedometer was not working, we also had tire pressure warning, engine service warning, air bag warning and no odometer.we made it to the freeway exist, however when we went to accelerate the car barely moved.the engine would rev at high rpm's but would just crawl.we made it to our house (barely) and parked the car.the shift into park was very violent and made the care jump.with my foot on the brake i would shift from p to n, then n to r, then r to d and same order back to park.each change was very violent.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.i have done some research online and this appear to be a very common issue for these vehicles.
Entering highway and auto would not shift gears or accelerate.stayed idle at over 5 rpm's and had to pull off the road.seemed like a transmission problem. Towed to repair shop for assessment.still at shop. This vehicle on multiple occasions before this incident has regularly engaged in a violent jerk when i have engaged it in drive or reverse. Seems like a transmission issue but dealer wont do anything unless they can duplicate problem.i have seen and know of numerous other ford edge owners that have had the same issue and no fix has been found or dealer and ford wont fix unless it duplicated the issue while they have the vehicle and most times its something not covered.this is a serious safety issue and they need to be held accountable.
The transmission failed. As i was driving down the road it clunked very loudly as it shifted and then wouldn't change gears. I stopped at a light and the car would not move. The engine was running but the car would not go. By downshifting manually i was able to move forward and then got it to the dealer. They diagnosed it as drive and reverse engage but it neutrals out in 4th, 5th and 6th. They found metal shavings and chunks in a sample of the fluid drained. We bought the car used from ford. It was a buy back from the previous customer because of leaky axel seals that could not be resolved. Had the same issue and the dealer replaced seals and things seemed to be okay. Transmission always clunked randomly; dealer thought it was mounts. Once we got new transmission we realized the old one always had problems. This new one shifts completely smoothly, which in retrospect the old one did not.
While at a stop sign on a small sloped road, my vehicle rolled backwards when i let go of the brake to accelerate from a stopped position. There were children walking behind me and i almost rolled into them. In addition, while parked in a forward position on a small sloped driveway, i was unable to drive out of the driveway without applying my foot to the brake and the gas at the same time. I almost hit the car in front of me. I brought it to the ford dealership and was told this is how the ford edge is designed and this is normal. Essentially, i need to hit the brake and gas when on a slight slope. This is very disturbing and dangerous.
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
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 frequentlyi 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.
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.
Several times now, my car will not accelerate.this has happened while going 40, 60, 70mph on the hwy.i have had to instantly put hazards on and try to pull over which isn't always easy during rush hour traffic.when this happens, i pull off, and then my car lurches forward and shifts gears and then can accelerate.this has also happened when i have been at a complete stop, and tried to accelerate.when you cannot move forward, or crawl at speeds under 5mph, but your rpms are reaching 7, there is something seriously wrong.i have taken it in a few times only to be told they cannot find or recreate the issues, so they send me on my way.it sounds as if many others are having the exact same issues.i am very nervous that my luck in pulling off out of harms way will run out.i have called my dealership to once again have it looked at but they cannot get me in for 10 days.... Should i even drive this car if it is not reliable??i truly am frightened to drive now, and this is my only car and am a single mother.not sure what i am supposed to do.i really hope that ford recalls this, as i have read that there are several lawsuits pending this exact issue.
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.
Odo error data error while driving.odometer stops working, wrench light turns on, then air bag light. Loss of power, transmission gets stuck in gear.you can't accelerate and have to cruise on to the right to pull over.happened twice, once on the freeway. Code goes to the speed sensor which controls the transmission shifting.after you turn off your car and turn it on code resets however car is stuck in gear.after a few hard shifts finally goes back into gear.ford dealership says common problem however can't figure out if its a harness or the sensors.replacing sensors requires dropping the transmission.
Popping noise made from front driver side tires when turning left, at gear change transmission jerks, powertrain awd malfunction light came on , truck would not accelerate into 2nd gear loud grinding noise made, censor had to be replaced, popping noise still exist in left front tire
We bought our edge certified through the local ford dealership and within months the transmission would violently shift between first and second. When i took it in they said they couldn't replicate the problem. It happens at least a few times a month and i'm nervous that there will be complete failure once we are outside the warranty period.
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.
I bought my edge, used last year and i love it. Although, every now and then while driving the transmission makes a huge bang noise. Its scary!!! i hope that ford will take care of this. It seems there are other complaints regarding the same problem.
Vehicle lost all power while driving in traffic and steering locked when turning the corner at intersection causing loss of control of vehicle. This has happened on several occasions under random conditions. Weather conditions, vehicle temperature, speed, direction, braking or acceleration does not have any factors when this happens.the vehicle shuts off randomly and power is lost. No codes or warning of any kind. Ford factory has investigated, wiring harness to the mass airflow sensor has been replaced but still continues to have the same problem.
My child and iwere driving down a busy interstate, 1100 miles from home. The vehicle was set on cruise control at 70 mph. Without warning, the car jerked. We had items that fell into the floorboard. I looked at my gauges and noticed the cars speedometer had gone to zero. The car began to coast even though the cruise control was still on. There was a lot of traffic on the interstate coming behind us. As i pushed the gas petal, the car would not go. I stopped the vehicle and called a ford dealer and they had it towed. The next day we were told that it was a "catastrophic internal failure in the transmission" also, that it blew out sensors ect.. I have written ford motor company regarding this issue and they state that there are no warranties orfield service actions being taken and they urged me to contact with the ford dealer servicing the vehicle with any discount or issues. The ford edge has less than 100,000 miles, and i know i am not the only one this has happened to. This is a serious public safety hazard. It could have caused us to wreck or a truck to rear end us and should i have contacted the ford dealer then? i believe and investigation should take place before someone does gets hurt or killed. Again, there was no warning before this happened. The car is requiring a complete transmission to the sum of $5,382.00. I will have the receipt as soon as it's repaired. I cannot explain a cause other than an internal failure, as the ford service man quoted. The car has 96,000 miles. Thank you for your assistance. Please do not hesitate to contact me regarding any questions.sincerely,[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
While driving down the freeway at approx 75 mph for 1 hour, vehicle suddlenly stopped accelerating, odo went blank, speedo zero, airbag and powertrain lights came on. I cut across 6 lanes of very heavy traffic to exit and struggled to get up the incline.parked at the nearest lot and shut off the engine.restarted with a loud clunk and dash was ok except powertrain light was still on.put in reverse and felt a violent clunk. Drove to a nearby ford dealership where they diagnosed bad turbine shaft speed and output shaft speed sensors.they performed the repairs at my cost of $856.91.i picked up the car and drove it 80 miles back home 2 days later with no problems. Today, 6 days later, i am experiencing extremely rough shifting, especially at around 40 and 60 mph and very bad hesitation where the entire vehicle vibrates and does not seem to know what gear to be in. Not only is this vehicle dangerous and defective, the expensive repairs are not correcting the problem and have made it worse.
Purchased ford edge new 2008. Had problems since beginning. Driving low speed it slipped into l, twice. Brought car in several times complaining spitting and sputtering, bucking like choking. (i do not have exact date of complaint today but entered approximate- in process of obtaining history ). Brought car into ford dealer in albany where i was told bad gas and one time a broken seal but not told where seal was.car now 4 yrs w/ only 65466. Miles. Always got synthetic oil change for more $ to insure extended coverage on powertrain or so was informed would be the case. I asked, how can i get a 4000 mile extended coverage on the powertrain when i am only to get the oil changed at 5 - 6000 miles, i was told "don't worry about it". Oct. 2011 car sputtered and spit after filling tank. I hoped was due to bad gas as told in past, however, this time, the car would only go 30 mph, any faster, car acted like was in neutral. Orange wrench light came on, i called ford garage, aaa was towed in.no warranty i am told because i didn't purchase an extended warranty.why did i need it?i was told i would be ok with the synthetic oil changes and extended coverage on the powertrain.in addition, i am being told because only did a transmission flush at 30,000 not 60,000, not covered.we all know car should not need new transmission at 65466 miles regardless.treated car like a child. Want nothing else. Been w/ ford / now ford/ mazda since 18yrs old, now 52. Loyalty gets nowhere. In process of obtaining history all complaints since new to fight no support.all this and the end will result with me having no car and considerable expense and ultimately no more good credit if i throw the keys at them and say keep it !
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.
The contact owns a 2008 ford edge. While driving approximately 45 mph, the vehicle failed to accelerate and felt as if it would stall. The vehicle jerked when attempting to accelerate. The failure recurred several times. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vin was unknown. The approximate failure mileage was 77,000.
Vehicle often shifts hard. In the (7) years that we've had the 2008 ford edge, there have been (6) occasions that we have been travelling 60 to 70 mph and the speedometer will fall to zero, and the odometer will read "odometer data error". We can still travel at 60mph or so but the engine rpms climb to 3000 and you lose power. You can't climb a hill, except in reverse, and unless you're on level ground you can't move at all. The "wrench" lights up on the dash and the only way to get out of this situation is to stop the vehicle, turn off the ignition and wait for 5 to 10 minutes for everything to reset. I'm very concerned for my family's safety on the highways as they travel without me quite often.
Was driving on freeway about to exit and transmission sounded as if it got stuck on 2nd gear. Engine sounded loud at high rpms and my speed dropped. I got the vehicle towed to my well trusted mechanic and he concluded that my transmission needs to be replace. Vehicle only has 65,500 miles.
The car would act like it was in 2nd or 3rd gear when you tried to go from a stop.you would have to give it a lot of gas to move and there were also times in the past where it would go but would not shift into 2nd gear for a longer than normal time. The first time it happened i turned the car off and then it started working. No warning lights ever came on until on oct 25th when i was trying to go from a stop and the car was hardly moving.warning lights started coming on so i went straight to the dealer and kept it running so it would not clear any codes.they ended up replacing the oss and tss sensors in the transmission.
Driving through parking lot when shift between gears becomes very rough.engine revs- but car has no forward movement.we were able to get the car in reverse, and back in to a parking space.we shut the car off- turned the car back on and the issue was resolved- still shifted a little hard.
I sent an email to the ford company ,we have a 2008 ford edge we bought new we have always had an issue with the transmission and the car not moving unless you stop and restart it, the issue was so sporadic from the 1st year that we have had inthe dealership several times and they cant seem to find a problem, the car would have the air bag, wrench and low tire light on and the odometer would be all dashes, you could floor it and the tach will move but the speedometer would not move and the car would barely move, lately the issue has become an everyday thing yet still the dealership cant find the problem,i was checking online and found that many people are having the same issue with their edge, many videos showing the exact problem ,my ford dealer is looking at it again. We can not be the only one having this issue.
While driving my car, all of sudden the car just stops with the dash board displaying everything.when try to restart the car, it sounds like the car is trying to start even after releasing the key but it doesn't start.all power is lost except for the lights and radio.the car will eventually start after a couple of minutes and you start driving and it happens again.had car towed to auto repair place where diagnostics didn't show anything.the mechanic did drive the car and it stalled on him.he thought it was the "fuel kill switch" because it reset it and the car started.the switch was replaced and the car ran fine for 2 days then while driving on the highway started loosing speed and was unable to accelerate.the rpm's decreased then jumped up like the car had restarted.this happened twice then i lost all power and had to coast over to the shoulder.
I have taken this edge to the ford dealer 3 times because of surging and the rpm's surging, clunking, etc. All three times was told nothing was wrong with it, now at 80,000 it has completely lost power and the tac revs to 3 and 4. I'm soooo frustrated that this is a known problem and after 3 visits with the same complaint, we are looking at transmission replacement!!
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!
While regular driving or when in the process of engaging a stop sign the car engine disengages from the transmission and loose any connection between the engine and transmission. If one steps on the gas the transmission makes a hollowing noise and fails to move, the engine rpm increase with pressing the gas padel but the transmission does not engage as if one is low on transmission fluid.in order for the car to engage into motion one has to shut down the engine complete and then restart the car where after it just run s fine as if nothing happened.we have encountered this situationthreetimes this year. The car has around 58600 miles on it.this is a very dangerous situation to be in specially of one is encouraging and intersection etc and is very scary to drive at times...thank you.we called the ford dealer and they told us they have never heard any thing like this...this all happened on city streets and while the car was moving or when coming to a stop sign.
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.the dashboard has returned to normal, but loud clunk when shifting and will not accelerate without flooring it.
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.
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.
Right after i purchased this vehicle, i noticed that it had a bad jerk, and chugging in the transmission. With the overdrive "off", it keeps the rpm's above 2000, and prevents it from chugging and jerking in the transmission. With the overdrive on it gears down extremely low after going down to 2000 rpm's, and losses a lot of power. When pressing down the gas pedal, it chugs and jerks severely. I have to let off the gas and then reapply the gas to stop it from jerking. Also, the power steering pops and makes noises. I got in the car today and had no brake power at all. Then had no brakes unless i pushed the brake pedal down with extreme force. And it was still extremely hard to stop my vehicle. Upon searching online, i am finding that these are very common issues with the 2008 ford edge vehicles. There should be some type of recall on this model of ford edge when this is a very common problem, in my opinion. I did a search for my vin number and it shows "no" recalls for my vehicle. I understand it'd not a new vehicle, but the amount of issues with this vehicle is ridiculous. Please help!!!
The vehicle was in motion stopped at a stop light then proceeded to drive off or accelerate unable to move.gave more gas no acceleration able to pull over to the side shoulder noticed the tool bar on dash.turned the car off and waited 5 minutes then started the car and put into drive a loud thud was heard then the tool bar went away was able to accelerate drive the vehicle to dealer.during the drive car didn't respond well to acceleration but rpms increased but car didn't increase in speed. All of this occurred on a city street without turns
The transmission will occasionally fail to engage properly when accelerating from a stop. The vehicle will initially move forward but then will fail to accelerate as the engine continues to increase rpm. This has occurred multiple times. The first maintenance performed at ford was to rebuild the transmission. After the repair there were no problems for almost 4 months and then the transmission problem recurred. This last time it occurred almost caused an horrific accident. As the auto accelerated from a side street to make a left hand turn onto a four lane highway, the transmission failed to accelerate after its initial acceleration and stopped in the middle ofoncoming traffic. A t-bone accident was barely avoided. The second ford repair was to replace a 'sensor' and was just picked up today from ford.
The contact owns a 2008 ford edge. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds the vehicle would not properly accelerate and the engine would misfire. Also on occasions, the check engine light had illuminated and the speed would not increase past 10 mph. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who diagnosed that the input-out sensor in the transmission was faulty causing the ignition coil to melt. The contact indicated that the pcm was also faulty.the vehicle was repaired but the failures continued to occur. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 50,000.
The contact owns a 2008 ford edge. The contact stated while driving out of his garage in reverse the vehicle stopped moving and he was unable to continue driving. The vehicle was towed to the dealer who diagnosed that the power train unit burned and needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but did not offer any assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileage was 80,000. Updated 7/18/12 the consumer stated after waiting two months for the part, he instead purchased a used part. Updated 07/25/12
I backed up into the street leaving my driveway, i put it in drive to move forward and went about 50 feet and the car jerked and would not move anymore, i tried to press on the accelerator and the car would not go. This is not an acceptable issue, i feel that if my wife was in the car on the freeway this would have been bad.
Driving along the freeway, when all of a sudden i noticed the dimming of lights in my car, and then the speedometer and engine odometer (revs) all dropped to 0, along with the wrench signal coming on, along with the airbag signal coming on, and then eventually the tire pressure signal coming on.the car lost acceleration and i was able to get off the freeway at the next exit.i tried to put my foot on the accelerator, i could hear the engine revving but the car only moving at 10 miles an hour, wouldn't go any faster, although i could hear it, it wouldn't click over, or accept the change in gear.
Bought my 2008 edge in 2012 and experienced issues with odo read error message and loss of power shortly there after. It happens most frequently on the freeway at higher rates of speed (60- 70 mph). 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.
I was driving on the highway and my car just stopped. Odo error came on. Pressed gas pedal and nothing. I could have been in a serious accident. At dealership now.
The contact owns a 2008 ford edge. The contact stated that while driving 15 mph, the vehicle lost power and stalled. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who advised the contact that there were no failures found within the vehicle and the computer was reset. The failure persisted. The manufacturer was not notified of the issue. The failure mileage was 41,000 and the current mileage was 42,000.updated 08/28/12*ljthe consumer stated the failures occured when the vehicle was parked or in motion. Updated 09/05/2012
Driving home from work at a speed of 55 to 65 on i-65 in montgomery, alabama when all of a sudden my car begin to not recognize the gas . It slowed down suddenly and the engine began to shake. I made it to an exit by driving slowly with hazard lights on. We took the car to gilmore ford the same day. On 11/8/12 we were informed that the pcm caused the coil pack (2) to not fire and therefore burned it up. I asked if this was a known problem with the car and was informed by [xxx] that he has only seen it once. Well i decide to look into it via the web and found that this is a known defect in the pcm installed on ford edges.my thought is that had traffic been going faster i would have had an accident in the middle of the highway with how quickly the car speed shifted down.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
2016 driving out of subdivision,came to stop before starting up incline.motor was racing but car was slowly moving,drove a short distance,at very slow movement.pulled off road and had car towed to ford dealership to have it checked out. They found nothing wrong.2018 after hwy. Driving and then turning road...came to stop sign,put foot on gas to make turn and car motor was racing but car would barely move.moved about 8 feet then put gear into neutral for a minute and then put gear into drive.it made a loud noise , but did go into drive. Drove 1 block and itapparently slipped out of gear and rolled to a stop.
Traveling at highway speed, dashboard lights up with check engine light, airbag light, get odometer failure, speedometer stops working, followed by a tire pressure sensor failure. Transmission stops shifting properly including a loss of power especially when resuming from a stop.
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.
The contact owns a 2008 ford edge. While stopped at a stop sign, the accelerator pedal was depressed, but the vehicle failed to accelerate without warning. The engine revved and the rpms increased. When the gear was shifted into the park position, the vehicle lunged forward. The failure recurred numerous times. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was approximately 120,000.
I bought my 2008 brand new.at 39,000mi i took to dealership after noticing the transmission lagging, slipping, loud very hard shifts.also was parking at the grocery store when i pulled into spot, with foot on the break car lurched and engine revved. If it hadn't had my foot on break it could have hit someone.of course dealership couldn't replicate, was told to bring back when it didn't it more regularly.at 59,000 i took it back in after sever times of loud/hard shift and jerking like i had been rear ended by something. As well as being on a road trip where it felt like it slipped out of gear and the wrench light came on.i pulled to side of road and called ford. They said to turn car off and back on. Wrench light went off and car seemed fine.then while on interstate it revved really high again but car felt like it was in neutral, it wouldn't accelerate when i pushed the gas.pulled off again and cut off and back on and it seemed fine. Dealership was able to replicate, but results inconclusive. Was told to bring back if happened again.at 83,000 it is back in, it has been loudly shifting with the big jerk like before this time more frequently and also was coming off exit ramp of interstate and at stop light, car was in drive,but wouldn't go, felt like it was sitting in neutral again.dealership has had it for 3 days and found metal shavings in transmission.will not confirm this is covered by warranty even though it is an existing issue.can not promise for will honor repair.wants to rip out my transmission to see what problem is, but wont give me any kind of estimate as to cost.only said ford would "assist" but couldn't tell me how much.i have read hundreds of similar issues online of the exact same issues.seems like ford would have recalled this already.this is not only an issue of a faulty transmission, but also a huge safety issue as well.
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.
My brakes make a hissing noise when i press down.. I have to press all the way down to get it to stop. This is very dangerous.also, my back tail lite has had to be replaced 2 times because the socket got hot. Also, my car jumps sometimes when pressing on the gas(transmission issue?) i have also had the gas tank replaced(due to a recall)
Hello, my 2008 ford edge is having a lot of transmission fricking issues !!!! shifting hard into reverse and from 1st to 2nd !!!
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.
I bought brand new a 2008 ford edge i have had so much trouble with it and it has been in shop so many times and they still can't figure it out. From transmission to hot temp, bearings in tire being melted with under 60,000 miles!!!! i have repaired brake booster twice!!!
This has now happened to me twice with both my small children in the car while on the highway, at highway speeds. The 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.
Same complaint as dozens of other 2008 ford edge owners. Odo error comes up, almost all warning lights come on, tach and speedometer go to zero and car is stuck in gear making is almost impossible to accelerate from a stop. This has happened several times but is starting to happen more frequently and usually on the highway. This is clearly a dangerous defect that ford needs to address asap before people are seriously injured.
Takata recall. The contact owns a 2008 ford edge. The contact had not received a notification of nhtsa campaign number: 16v384000 (air bags), but found the recall online. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. John kennedy ford of conshohocken (1403 ridge pike, conshohocken, pa 19428 (888) 377-1951) was contacted and confirmed that the parts were not available for the recall remedy. While driving 40 mph, the vehicle decelerated without warning and the vehicle jerked. The contact took the vehicle to a collision center for body repairs and the technician informed her that there was a transmission failure. The transmission needed to be replaced, but the vehicle was not repaired. The dealer stated that there was no extended warranty for the transmission. The manufacturer was made aware of the issues and referred the contact to nhtsa. The failure mileage was approximately 98,000.
I was getting into the exit lane about 50 mph when my car comes to a sudden slow down of about 5 mph. Lucky i was already slowing down.could have been a bad situation had i not been exiting the freeway.
I was driving under normal conditions at about 35 mphwhen 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. Igot 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.
I have a 2008 ford edge limited. I noticed that when i would get stuck in stop and go traffic the car would not shift from first to second gear. I would have to pull over put it in park and then try to go. This has happened quite a few times. My most recent incident was pulling into a parking garage and needing to back up. When i put the car in reverse it would not engage. It took several times moving from neutral to reverse for it to finally catch with a hard jerk.
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
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????
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.
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. It is not the consumers fault for poor manufacturing of a vehicle that was advertised so great! they should be fixing this issue before someone gets hurt or killed in an accident.
Most recent 8/14/2015,pulled out into traffic and the car lost power, but the engine was still running. Rpm's will go up, but the car will not move. Reverse works. Took it to auto zone, no codes will come up. When i bought it off the lot (9 months ago) it was working just fine and has been going down ever since.since last november (11/2014) when i bought the car,when driving the cars speedometer will drop down to zero and a wrench light will come on with a few other lights and act like it is stuck in a high gear. After tuning the car completely off (key out of ignition and door opening and closing) and checking fluids i started the car back up and heard a loud clunk and when i put it into drive there was another clunk and after getting the car up to about 10mph (the car is still acting like its stuck in a high gear) there was another loud clunk and the transmission would catch and act like nothing happened. This process repeats ever single day unless i drive it with the over drive off, then it will still happen but about only twice a month. Ex:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sk3itic2-rs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=px3sc2ycmeo i have called ford corporate after googling the problem and seem there are 1000's of cases explaining the same thing and they will only tell me "that's odd seems like your car is the only one that's doing this". I have taken it to several dealership, none of which will do anything because they cannot find a code. Even when the car has a wrench light on and will barley move.this problem needs to get resolved before a severe accident occurs. Have i mentioned this is my only car? from what i have read it could be a couple different sensors and if this is not resolved this was the only and last ford i will ever own.
I bought this 08 ford edge sel awd with 74000 miles . Ive had it less than a year and had the following problems.* stalling.* loud clunking in reverse and jumps into gear.* front driverside and passenger side window pillars are big blind spot. Very dangerous almost hit pedestrians.* vehicle rolls back on small inclines. Almost rolled into vehicle behind me. Very dangerous.* vehicle struggles in reverse up small inclines.* driverside headlight was out for a month cause car needed software update.truck stalled again today this time i turned off and on wouldn't go in reverse instead drove forward almost hitting parked car... Still have popping noise in front endclunking noise in reverse sometimes again.. Im starting to get nervous cuz my daughter was in the car with me. - emailed to ford service center rep. Oct. 1st. Ford mechanics say there is nothing wrong with vehicle yet it has stalled 4x and has problems in reverse . Car has been in the shop 6x for same issue . Im tired of bringing it back and forth.
The contact owns a 2008 ford edge. The contact stated that after shifting into park, the shifter would become stuck. The contact would have to shut off and restart the vehicle in order for the gear selector to dislodge. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where they advised him that they were unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired and the manufacturer had not been contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 20,000. The vin was unavailable.updated 06/05/12*ljupdated 06/06/2012
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. Vehicle was repaired.
Transmission recalls
The vehicle was brought to the ford dealer to have an oil leak checked.they determined there was a leak with the ptu (power transfer unit) seal.they tried to repair the seal, but this did not work.they ordered a new seal and it has been on back order.the vehicle has been at the ford garage since 6/25/2012 and cannot be used until a new seal is installed.
I have only had my edge a month, had it checked bumper to bumper before purchase (i work at an auto shop) and read reviews online.i wish i had seen these complaints about the transmission and hard shifting/revving before purchase!! as soon as i bought it, within a few days when i would leave work and try to accelerate it hesitates, clunks loudly, then finally catches and takes off.. I've already had new plugs/boots/coils done, new belts and flushes done. Yesterday was the worst - i was taking off from a red light and as i was pressing the pedal it revved and jerked and banged.so glad i haven't even made my first payment yet and seeing these complaints, already know i'm going to be sinking massive money into this vehicle!please recall ford!!! i've driven crappy cars my entire life, i finally get something that looks nice i see is just another money pit lemon!
Loss of power, engine racing when gas applied, tachometer non responsive, sudden lunging of power. Loud clunking like being rear ended. Limped home, when i turned the car off then restarted, put it in reverse and a loud slamming noise like the clunking sound earlier and feeling of being rear ended. Towed to dealership, over 2 weeks later (less than 2 months out of warranty and only 971 miles out of the 60,000 mile warranty) ford dealer told me that ford would not cover any of the cost and the $4,012.69 transmission repair cost was on me.hundreds of posts on the internet about this issue, including ford tsb - nhtsa:action number: 10039053 service bulletin number: 312104. But no help from ford.
Vehicle in motion on city road when vehicle all of a sudden makes loud/hard clank noise and immediately loses power - almost like it started towing a trailer! loss of power, wrench light, tps light, airbag light all come on, speedometer stops working. Pulled over, loud/hard clank sound with every gear change p-2. Vehicle had displayed no issues prior to this. Dropped vehicle off at mechanic, when he looked at it next morning, vehicle is running perfect. Today is a friday, i was supposed to go out of town (via i75) but i am going to stay local as it does not feel safe to drive on the highway.i am greatly concerned about what appears to be a huge safety issue with this car.all you have to do is search - 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.
Transmission, and transfer-case leaking directly on the exhaust right by the manifold and professional stated it was severe fire hazard and not drive it, and also the rear main engine oil seal is leaking. The dealership was aware of all the issues and manipulated me as a female into purchasing the vehicle. The dealership argued that they were not responsible and that i had a 3 month 3,000 mile warranty when in fact my purchase agreement stated it was as is. Which means they lied to me. The transmission shop who inspected my vehicle stated that the leaks have been ongoing for quite sometime before i even purchased the car. I just purchased this vehicle in october of 2015 and already have made six payments and now i am paying for something that i can not even drive because it was not repaired correctly the first time so it had to be returned again. It is going on the fourth week. I do have a loner but i have already spent over $300.00 in gas. I only have one vehicle at this time and that is the ford edge and it is very upsetting to think that i have made 3 complaints regarding this issues to the ford motor company about the fire hazard issue and have had no satisfaction or results other then they claim it the dealers problem. I have done numerous research about his particular vehicle, and there are thousands of issues regarding the transmission leak on the exhaust as a fire hazard. Is this going to be like general motors, and wait for someones car to actually catch fire??? or is it going to be like general motors and wait for someone to be killed before they will do anything about it? my vehicle is not the only one. There are thousands of complaints out there regarding the same exact issue. I am basically paying for a car that i cannot drive at all.
The car is leaking transmission fluid at the ptu seal.
I was driving down the highway when my speedometer and odometer stopped working.then it told me i had a error and a fault in my tire pressure system.my airbag light came on, indicating that it was off.i pulled over and turned off the vehicle.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 am reading thousands of reviews about the edge that experiences the same problems.lets issue a recall and develop some accountability!
Wrench light and airbag light on, lost acceleration on incoming traffic, violent jerk when switching from drive to park and vice versa.multiple complaints all over the internet with same issue.acts like a transmission issue when it's just faulty sensor tss and or oss sensor needs replacement to fix the issue.
I was stoped at stop sign my 2008 ford edge with no signs of problems. When i started to pull out there was low power and the wrench signal went on.car would not go faster then 5mph.i was very concerned for cars in back of were impatient and passing.i researched this problem on the inertnet and it seems to be happening with alot of these make and model cars.
The contact owns a 2008 ford edge limited. The contacted stated that while traveling 20-25 mph, a popping noise emitted outside of the vehicle as the vehicle became resistant to acceleration attempts. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who confirmed that the pcm module failed and the engine coils were melted. The manufacturer was contacted. The vehicle was repaired. The failure mileage was 81,000 and the current mileage was 82,000.
This problem has occurred since first few months of owning it.at times while driving at all speeds the car's power goes away in the sense you might be driving 68 then the car starts to slow down, then slam, there is a loud mechanical slam, and the car feels like you ran it to something metal or solid.it literally shakes the whole car scares the !@#$ out of you. It?s usually on the express way and more when it?s cold.it seems when i?m barely increasing the gas, then letting off a bit, then back on the gas again.the local ford dealer found a bulletin from ford stating that replacing the transmission doesn't fix this problem to wait for further investigation.we have been waiting since 2008.the car runs great other then this problem.this might not happen for weeks then it will happen as many of 3 times in a 5 mile drive.i went on a 2 hour trip this week.it happened twice on the way up and once on the way back.as soon as we take it to the dealer it doesn't happen.i've asked them to keep the car for a week and drive it.that hasn't happened.they keep throwing their hands in the air.i wish it would just lock up so they can find something.i have seen others with the same problems but yet ford hasn't fixed it.
The contact owns a 2008 ford edge. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 65 mph, the vehicle was making an abnormal noise and shaking violently. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the coil and the power train control module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was then towed to a dealer but was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximately failure mileage was 87,000.
The contact owns a 2008 ford edge. The contact stated that while at a complete stop, the malfunction indicator, the tire pressure monitoring system, and air bag warning lights illuminated. The contact also mentioned that the vehicle lost acceleration power and failed to shift gears. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure and current mileage was 72,000.
Transmission is bad and has been serviced several times and continues to have problems.
Loss of power to the extent of next to no acceleration, transmission not shifting smoothly or correctly, odometer blanks out with dashes, speedometer quits working, airbag light and transmission wrench illuminate in the gauge cluster.
Same problems as all the other ones. On the expressway and odo light comes on along with a few others and car seems like it stuck in a higher gear and won't excels rate quickly, loud clunk from trans when shifted in and out of gear. Usually have to turn off car and restart a few times to come back to normal. It's obvious that ford has an issue and i'm not taking it to the dealer and spend thousands of dollars for repairs that won't solve the issue. Altimately it sounds like a software issue and ford won't recall till most of the vehicles are out of service as to save money. I have been a loyal ford driver for years but this is definitely turning me to the competition.
Driving straight on freeway at 70 mph and the dash suddenly displays odo error. Wrench light, low tire pressure light, and air bag light come on.speedometer shows 0 mph but tach still works.after i stop the car and try to take off again it has no pickup.transmission seems to be stuck in 5th gear or overdrive.tach goes up to 2500 rpm but vehicle barely moves.when i shift from park to drive or reverse the engine/transmission makes a horrible clunking noise that makes me think it will come out of the body.the only way i can get the car driveable again is to disconnect battery for a few minutes then reconnect.everything resets and works but occurs again-sometimes a week later, sometimes a couple of months later.
Transmission disengages at random while moving in traffic. Once it occurs, vehicle cannot be moved under it's own power. Engine runs, but transmissions slips. High potential for being stranded in traffic and struck. Has occurred at least 4 times. Was able to coast to side of road. Electronics in dash act up, including service wrench and no speedometer. Apparently a known issue by ford (tsb 07-21-11). Lots of common complaints online involving 2007-2008 model edges. Related to faulty sensors (aa5z-7h103-b & aa5z-7m101-b).
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
Kept loosing transmission fluid. Dealer told me power train at a price of 1400 +this is a fault of the edge model with awd.
When driving this the tool light engine light comes on loose the odometer and it doesn't want to move once you stop. Then when you can get it to move the transmission clunks hard . I also lost the mileage on the dash as well. And then when trying to pull into somewhere that has a slight hill the car won't go forward. This has been happening for a couple weeks
Drove the car to work without any issue. After work, i drove to a nearby convenience store by my house and had no issue. I left the store and stopped at a red light. When the light turned green, i stepped on the gas pedal but the car barely moved and was laboring. I checked to make sure i wasn't on the l gear but it wasn't because i was on d. I kept pressing on the gas and noticed a wrench light on in the dashboard. I made it home at less than 10 miles per hour which was the fastest that the car would go.
In recent weeks, car at times seemed to slip slightly while shifting or there was a hard, lagging shift. While driving on highway, speedometer stopped working, info/trip readout on dash showed dashes instead of numbers.after a few minutes, multiple warning lights showed on dash, including passenger airbag light, a wrench icon, then the low tire pressure warning icon.readout then changed to a tire pressure fault message. Pulled off the highway and after making a turn, car seemed under-powered/acceleration was compromised. Stopped at a service station, turned off the car, then restarted.after restarting, warning icons on dash disappeared.when car was shifted into reverse, car jerked violently and loud 'clunking' noise occurred. Shifting in and out of reverse, while the car was still stationary, jerking became even more pronounced and clunking noise became louder.had the car towed to ford dealer - after diagnosis, was told 2 sensors (the tss & oss) in the transmission were faulty and needed to be replaced. Additionally, was told fan module was also faulty, needed replacing. Approximately $1700 in repairs and was without the car for over a week.after researching issue online, came across many people experiencing the same exact problem in ford edges, almost always around the same mileage (approx. 77,800) and for various years. This should be a recall!to be honest, though the car is operating normally at the moment, i have little to no confidence that this sensor repair actually fixes the problem long term as some anecdotal research seems to show that others have experienced a return of the issue even after the sensor replacement.i believe this situation warrants investigation by nhtsa as ford will deny/ignore the problem until forced to address it. Too many people have this same issue and not only is it costly, but could be very dangerous as well.
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 panelnor 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 have a 2008 edge w/ 120k miles and once in a while, it gets stuck in the 1st gear. It did it to me twice in one month, and i notice it when i'm going down hill (like a parking garage). Once i'm out on the street, that's where it gets stuck in the first gear. I had to pull over turn off the edge wait for about 1 minute and started it back up, and i like it resets the system cause it works fine after that.
The contact owns a 2008 ford edge. The contact stated that while driving 40 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning in heavy traffic. The contact managed to exit onto the shoulder. The failure was experienced numerous times, sporadically and always without warning.the vehicle was taken to the dealer for a week but the dealer was unable to diagnose a failure. The contact retrieved the vehicle from the dealer and while exiting the lot, the failure recurred. The dealer then made repairs to the vehicle that were unknown to the contact however, the repairs did not correct the failure. The manufacturer was notified who advised the contact that the vehicle was not under warranty and offered no assistance. The failure and the current mileage was 68,000.
While driving ,infull motion, , the car comes to an almost stop! scares you to death, you check to make sureyou haven't accidently put the car inneutral ,all the warning lights on the dash lightup ,thecheck engine, the low tire gage symbol, the tool light,, the speedometer stops working,. The car refuse to move forward, placed in reverse it moves backward ,theford dealer is unable to fix the problem ,codesdon't show up to helpidentifythe problem. The danger is it happens while you are driving. Its been diagnosedas a transmission problem (very expensive) but that's not what it is. You reprogram it temporary,by taking the positive battery cable loose for a few seconds, the car drives perfect until it happens again, its happen three times with this car, i have called the ford cooperate office to report this problem.
Vehicle was taken to power ford in valencia for standard service a week ago.41,000 miles new tires bought- was told all was ok. One week later i am driving when suddenly speedometer stops and mileage is reading --- grinding noise then a wrench icon appears which means the powertrain is malfunctioning, then the air bag light went on and then an !icon which means there is a problem with tires. Terrified, i called power ford and told to bring it in... I was less than a half a mile away, and put on my hazard lights and barely made it the few clocks to the dealership. This is a haunting problem that i have read at least a dozen comments about the power train. Had i been ion the freeway i don't think i would be alive. Please investigate this issue with the ford edge. I did not know the outcome at all. Thank you
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.
While driving down my residential street my vehicle acted like it was shifting gears with a jerk and loud clunk. This has happened numerous times in the past as well.turned od off and it did not do it again until od was back on again.
The contact owns a 2008 ford edge. The contact stated while driving approximately 25 mph, an extremely strong burning odor emitted inside of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer for diagnosis, who informed that the power train would need to be replaced. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the issue. The approximate failure mileage was 44,243.
While driving down the highway the speedometer stopped and went to 0 mph, the odometer read dashes, the wrench illuminated in the corner, and the airbag warning sign appeared. The rpm's in my vehicle began to climb higher as well and the car speed began to decrease, again i was on the highway. I got off an exit about 1.5 miles from when i noticed the problem start. 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.
Stopped at a light would not pull forward afterwards loud clunking noise, airbag light came on, service light came on, odometer went to zero, car would jerk while in gear but wouldn't move forward or reverse. I've done some research on this problem, hundreds of people are having the same problem with 2007 and 2008 edge. With most being transmission sensor failure.ford knows of this problem won't do anything about it.
During the month of july 2013, our 2008 ford edge would make a grinding noise at about 40 mph.the car had been serviced by a ford dealership in june 2013.prior to the service, my wife had been complaining about the noise so i decided to replace the rear brakes pads.the brake pads were only maybe 20 % worn but i went ahead and replaced them anyway.my wife had made similar complaints in the past which prompted me to check and replace the front brakes a few years ago.in july 2013 the noise persisted so we took the car to the ford dealership to check the problem.the ford mechanic determined that the front wheel bearings were failing.apparently, there is a flaw in design or workmanship that is allowing water to enter the bearing housing and to corrode the bearing inner and outer race.so, there would have been the potential for the bearings to over heat and lockup the wheels.the ford customer service and the dealership refused to extend the warranty given the time required for the bearings to corrode under these conditions.i requested the old parts after the repair and there is obvious corrosion on the ball bearings, the bearing race, and in the grease.there are other ford customers experiencing the same problem.the noise gets progressively worse over time that eventually you can hear it over the radio and conversations in the car.
The contact owns a 2008 ford edge. While driving approximately 35 mph, the vehicle stalled independently. The accelerator pedal was depressed, but the vehicle failed to operate. The contact had to jiggle the gear for the vehicle to operate normally. The failure recurred four times. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the cause of the failure was undetermined. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 105,000. The vin was not provided.
Sudden and substantial leak under car. Some irregular gear issues when in motion on highway and then on a subsequent county road.mechanic said the ptu needed repair, to take to dealer. Fortunately, no major safety issues yet, and i'm not waiting for any. Dealer said to take care of it asap, but can't get me in for a week. Obviously not as serious episode as these others i'm reading, but i'm not driving it for a week to avoid a dangerous situation. I don't understand why there hasn't been a recall to avoid a tragedy and a definite lawsuit!i'm being as proactive as i can to avoid a danger, but the cost at the ford dealer is estimated at about $1700. If there is a recall after my car is fixed, will there be compensation to me? absolutely absurd situation!
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.
This occurred multiple times with my ford edge.i will be driving a highway speeds, and on the dashboard:1.the odometer turns from numbers to dashes2.the speedometer stops working3.various services lights will turn on (each time it happened, different lights came on)then,i brake to a full stop, the car loses all throttle, and i'm barely able to accelerate.when i go to shift gears, there is a harsh, clunking noise in the transmission as i'm shifting.i was told this was a defect in the speed sensors but it occurred a total of 4 times in about 8 months.i had to trade the car in because it was becoming too unsafe to drive.
Bought car used july 2017 from a dealer. Has problems starting a few weeks after purchase of not wanting to move. If in heavy traffic doing 5-10 mph on expressway, when traffic finally breaks car will not move, rpm's go up but transmission is still stuck. This is a safety issue that really needs to be addressed as i am seeing a lot of complaints for the same thing. Took my car into the dealer due to extended warranty. They were able to replicate what i told them. This is an internal part failure but i am still waiting to hear if my extended warranty will be paying for this. Unacceptable that so many have this serious issue which could cause an accident if car does not move on a busy highway or at a stop light. This has happened in heavy stop/go traffic, from a stop light when light changes to green. Unless you can find a way to pull off and turn the car off and back on it will not move.
When traveling,all of a sudden the speedometer goes to 0, the maintenance wrench lights up and we get an led message that i cant recall exactlyat the moment. The vehicle can continue until you stop.then it cannot proceed forward. Once you stop and shift to park,then try to proceed again, there is a loud clunking noise from the transmission, and the vehicle cant move forward.i believe it is getting stuck in 5th or overdrive.when a code reader is attached by a mechanic, the code it calls outis for the output speed sensor (in the transmission).once the code is cleared the vehicle can perform normally.we had the oss replaced by a reputable transmission shop,and it was fine for a month or so.now again we have seen the problem twice since replacing the oss. There seem to be many complaints on the internet regarding this exact problem.here is an example:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=px3sc2ycmeo.
The car jerks into gear in drive and reverse. When the car is still and pushing on the gas to begin to drive, the tachometer revs past 3 and the speedometer is baring moving and the car is not accelerating. It hard shifts into gear (drive and reverse) and at times won't shift into gear at all. No acceleration in the car and very difficult to drive as shifting into gears is hard and jerks the car.
I was driving on the highway and suddenly my speed gauge stoped working. So i pulled off the side of the road and shut it off. Turned it back on and put it back into drive it jerked hard and wouldn't move until i floored it then it moved slowly this has happened more than once seems dangerous
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?
While driving on city street came to stop at stop sign went to proceed vehicle would not move check engine light on air bag light on no odo data where odometer mileage should berolled car to curb no response from transmission hut off car waited a min or two restarted car back to normal advised dealer took carin a day later after 2 days of test driving carhad same issue for them dealer retrieved problem code p0722 found both oss and tss sensors shortedboth sensors replaced car ok nowcost $835.00 this is a safety issue that should be fixed by recall before someone hurt or killed thank god i was on city street at time of issue not on highway dealer would not test on highway did not want to have to pay for tow truck
While traveling on the expressway the car began making a funny noise. After the noise started the wrench (warning) light came on, and then the care begin to decelerate and i was still pressing the gas pedal. I was able to exit the expressway. The car would not accelerate as normal, and made revving noises when the gas pedal was pressed, but would not move initially.
This has happened twice in the last two weeks. Once at 45 mph, once at 60 mph. Speedometer goes to zero despite maintaining speed. Display shows od data error. Airbag, tire pressure, and wrench lights come on. Pull over, turn off engine. Restart. Reset button. Transmission feels like it is in a higher gear, shifts hard little acceleration power.. Once you get it to shift up to a high gear seems to shift/drive normal.
This has happened several times.the vehicle was moving forward and all of a sudden the air bag light & the check engine light came on & the display said "no odometer available" . When i came to a stop, the car would not move - it was like it was in neutral then all the sudden the transmission engaged with a loud clunk & the car moved & all the lights went out.a wrench appeared on the dashboard and the screen read odo error with dashes. I could not go. It was as if my car was stuck in neutral. Even after turning the car off and on several times it did not remedy the problem. It also was shifting hard from park to drive, etc.
My ford edge has jerked and jumped a few times but was told that nothing was wrong with it. Well on friday june 01, 2012 i tried to put car into gear and it did not want to go, it started jerking and jerking. Then it started going, lights started going off such as the wrench, tire pressure, and then odomoter dropped to zero and it said data odomoter error. The next day i turned the car on and was making a loud whining noise. I took the car to gulf coast ford in angleton, texas on saturday june 02, 2012 and they called my husband wednesday june 06th and told him that they had to take the transmission apart. Said they had three cars last week with the same problem and they currently had one with same problem right next to mine and they said they are not sure why this is happening. Ford has a serious problem with this car and it needs to be fixed. My car is at 93,500 miles and the transmission should not be going out already. I wish they would recall this car completely. I am ready to get rid of it.
Driving around 45 mph in stop and go traffic, hit the brakes then the gas to no power at all i was barely moving in bumper to bumper traffic and when the traffic started moving again i was caught in the middle of 4 lanes of traffic barely at a crawl. I could have been killed just trying to get to the shoulder ! this problem is just as life threatening as the latest recall because of the bad key/starter issue. Are they going to wait to recall till we're killed driving our ford edge? am i the only one that has noticed all the complaints just this year involving the 2008 ford edge for this same issue? please recall.
Turned on car and put it in reverse then drive when pulling out of parking lot,. Transmission made a loud "clunk". Pressed hard on gas but car would barely crawl. Speedometer stopped working rpms would increase dramatically, wrench, check engine, airbag, and tire pressure lights all came on. Continuing on city street problem remained. Car eventually gained enough speed that rpms went down, but the speedometer still did not work. The next day, the problem disappeared except check engine light remains on.
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"!
Wrench light comes on,low air tire light,air bag light on,speedometer quits and no power and hard clunking in the transmission.just bought this,owe $11,000. On this car that is very dangerous to drive,what just ford? drive until we get killed!
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!
2008 ford edge.consumer writes in regards to power train malfunction.the consumer stated twice this year, she experienced power train malfunction, where the vehicle lost power.
When driving the vehicle the power train problem indicator light and check engine light come on and the car loses all power. Car will not exceed 900 rpm and will barely move. I had the trouble codes read and it is indicating that the throttle is showing stuck closed and open. I believe that this is the same issue as with several other ford models and should have been part of the extended warranty that covered the throttle bodies from several other models. This issue poses a serious safety risk do to the fact that it has happened several times and at various speeds, if this were to happen at highway speeds in heavy traffic it could be horrible. I have researched this problem extensively online and found that it is a fairly common issue with the edge.
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.
What started out as noise in the rear tires, i thought, became very loud and distracting.took it in to a tire dealer and replaced 2 tires and had the same very loud whine, even the employee at the tire store was amazed at how loud the sound was.he thought it was bearings and i took it in to a friend of mine who owns a repair shop.i took it in to him because i thought my warranty was no longer valid.he repaired the very badly worn bearings and told me he was very surprised at how bad they were knowing how and where my driving was done.mostly on the freeways no off road driving.i decided to look on line to see if this had been a problem with other 2008 ford edges and it has been reported in the 2007's also.seems like a trend to me.i went into my ford dealer and the service manager said it has been seen as a problem and suggested we look on the warranty and extended service plan and see if it was covered.it was, under the powertrain warranty.i asked if they would reimburse me for the repairs?the service manager said they would talk to the ford customer service in our region and let me know.she said no! they would not because i didn't bring it back to them, remember i thought it was out of warranty, then she said i was not the original owner, i bought it from that dealer with 9388 miles on it.all the other warranties that came with the car were honored why not this one??i was not the original owner for those warranties either.i would be happy just to be reimbursed on the bearings, the total was $550.i also have the expense of 2 new michelin tires @ $500.help!
The power take off unit (transfer case) developed a leak on the right hand side. The leak drips onto the exhaust pipe creating smoke and an awful smell. This could result in a fire.
I have a 2008 ford edge and in the past i have had it at the dealer for the transmission slamming as i slowed and excelerated on state and township roads. Alsofor the vehicle reving high and moving slow from a stop. Lately i've been having the same issues and on saturday 1/16/2016 i noticed a grease like substance under my car. Upon contacting a mechanic he stated that the leak was from the ptu and that the ford edge is known for this problem and that it would cost between $1700 and $2400 to replace the ptu.i purchased this vehicle new in january 2009 and had the extended warranty until 2015. The excelleration issue is as i travel on highways and the vehicle doesn't excelerate. I have to slow down or stop andturn off the vehicle to correct the problem. I feel these issues may cause an accident while traveling on major highway (i-95, rt 202, rt263) that i travel frequently. I feel that with the complaints in regard to this matter, that it should be checked by ford and repair or replace the defective parts.
Gradual problems with transmission while driving, occurred on freeway, surging, electrical problems with panel, no speedometer, airbag light on, tire pressure monitor inop.transmission slipping, and had bang in reverse.parked and turned off.when turned back on, transmission in complete failure.had transmission rebuilt through firestone, $4300.00.
On the freeway it felt like the car hit a hard bump exiting the freeway there was no longer any acceleration. The engine would rev way up but there was very little forward movement. It seemed as if the transmission was not shifting into the lower gears. I was very lucky to get through the quickly approaching traffic, without getting hit or someone else getting hit as the cars weaved around me. At a stop, i shifted into low with no change. I turned the over drive on and off with no change. I shifted into reverse and there was quite a big bang and the whole car shook (this was similar to what i felt on the freeway when i thought i hit a bump). Shifting back into drive, it was the same, lots of rpm and very little movement forward, as if i was starting in fourth gear. Turning off the engine i looked for any signs of fluid leaking or other indications of damage. Nothing was evident. After starting the car and shifting it into drive, it worked just fine. An internet search revealed that this is a common problem as there are hundreds of postings and even a few you-tube videos of the actual problem i experienced. Ford even has a service bulletin 103100 dated 4/24/13. Postings report transmission rebuilds (at over $4,000.00) and the problem still recurred. Successful repairs seem to center around a firmware, computer upgrade and replacement of turbine sensors and solenoids.with only 70,000 miles on this car i should not be having transmission problems. The service manager at the ford dealership knew all about this problem and said it would take three days to repair at just under $1,000.00. He also said that they stock the parts for this repair (a strange comment). On the internet i found that most repairs took weeks because none of the dealers stocked the parts. Now it seems that this problem is so prevalent that many if not all the dealers are now stocking these parts.
When theying to accept on a city street the car would not go. Odo error came up. Speedometer wouldn't move at all. Car was turned off and restarted. Wrench light and check engine light came on. Car moves a little bit but did not run normal and clunked hard when put in park. Mechanic says it's a sensor issue that's common in this car.
This incident has occurred 3 times in the last year.after shopping for about 15 minutes, i start my car and it immediately make a harsh clunking sound when moving into drive gear.then i have little to no acceleration and my speedometer, etc does not work.the wrench symbol comes on. When putting the car into park, it makes a violent, harsh sound. The first 2 incidents, i let the car sit for over 24 hours.when i start after 24 hours the car works completely fine and all the symptoms go away.the most recent incident i had the car towed to dealership within 8 hours of incident.they were able to determine it was the turbine and speed sensors, which i had replaced.i am concerned about the safety of this vehicle and feel this should be a recall issue.
Ptu has overheated causing the oil inside to become black and gummy, also causing one or both seals to fail leading to the undercoating of the vehicle to be covered in black thick oil.this was noticed only after a 200 mile run on the interstate in the winter of 2017, 65-80 mph... We have since found that numerous others have had the same issue with this generation of awd ptu's and is a engineering issue with the design of the vehicle
Transmission not shifting properly hesitated in shifting
Wrench appeared on dash. Car went into "limp mode" would not accelerate rapidly. Speedometer would not register.
Driving the interstate car seemed to kick out of gear and engine revved up..went in and out of gear.also after that car shifted very hard in 1st 3 gears..it worked fine for awhile and then did it again a few months later..after a few more episodes over a years time the transmission finally went out while my wife was in the middle of an intersection..luckily,it coasted enough to get off the road..i was able to get it home in 1st gear,but, wouldn't go into gear after a stop light..had to put in park and back into drive..had the transmission replaced and ok so far,but,something should be done about this..she could have been in a crash as it was a high speed intersection..
On june 3, 2020 my 2008 ford edge experienced sudden transmission failure while driving on a busy 5 lane highway which could have resulted in injury or death. Thankfully, my wife was able to get it off the roadway. It was then towed to a repair shop. There were no warning signs leading up to this transmission failure. The car was well maintained primarily through a ford dealership and certified mechanics. The vehicle has only 96000 original miles. After a short internet search, it became painfully obvious that this was a well documented shortcoming of the 2008 ford edge. I contacted the local ford dealership who verified that they were aware of this issue with the 2008 edge, "but ford has not recalled it yet". I then contacted ford motor company on june 5th who also admitted that they were aware of sudden transmission failure in the 2008 edge but have not recalled them as of this time. This is a serious, potentially life threatening manufacture defect that is being ignored by the ford motor company. It is also costly to the consumer. Estimated cost to repair this through ford with a rebuilt transmission is over $5000. Prior to this episode, we were pleased with this vehicle. However, we now question the moral decision making by ford motor company in choosing toignore this potential life threatening manufacture defect. I suggest that there be an immediate recall and reimbursement to customers for transmission failure in the 2008 ford edge.
My car has multiple warning lights come on all at the same time. My dash says odo system fail, then is says the tire pressure monitor fails, the wrench for transmission comes on, then the tire pressure symbol comes on and flashes, the air bag light comes on, and the check engine light comes on. Then my odometer goes to zero. If i slow down to a stop sign or something, i push the gas and the rpm's on my car go way up but my car hardly moves. Once i get going to a higher speed, the rpm's go down...it is almost like it is stuck in a high gear. Then when i put my car into drive after it was in park, my car jolts and makes a huge clanking noise. If i shut my car off and turn it back on, it makes a loud clanking noise but all my warning lights turn off except the check engine light. Then when i push the gas again, it is still barely moving and in high rpm's but it will randomly kick into whatever gear it needs to be in and make another loud clanking sound and run fine. This is very dangerous and i am not sure why it has not been recalled yet. This happened to me for the first time in the middle of a four way stop and i blocked the intersection and almost got hit by another car. This is eventually going to cause great harm or even death to someone.
In may, i was traveling at 55 miles an hours, when my car lurched forward and all the dashboard lights came on.the speedometer stopped showing my speed, the rpm's maxed out, lost all low gears, and the accelerator was not responding properly.i went and had the transmission looked at and the oil changed, engine flushed, etc.several weeks later i had the same problem.after a short time the car started responding properly again.on 11/14/2014, i was traveling at 60 mph and experienced the same thing for the 3rd time.once i got to a safe location i pulled over.when i put the car in park it made a terrible noise.i called roadside assistance to tow the car to the dealership.the dealership has said it is the transmission but have yet to determine the exact problem. I do not feel the power train of this vehicle is safe!other problems that have occurred since owning the vehicle: lunging at red lights when brakes are engaged (sometimes feels like i have been rear ended), electrical running to rear lights is melted, excessive amount of corrosion on the battery cables, rear wheels/brakes growling causing excessive wear on brakes (brakes went out coming to a stop sign one day), radiator fan problems, failure of the coolant fan 2 times and was replaced, tubing for windshield spray eroded.
While traveling at a high rate of speed the car dropped into a lower gear.the dashboard displayed several error messages including thecheck powertrain symbol (lighted wrench) and a odp speed warning. Little to no power being transferred to the wheels.
Approached a stop light on a hill. Light turned green. Did not have to come to a complete stop and when i accelerated the transmission jerked and made a loud noise. This has happened several times in my commutes. Transmission fluid level is within normal range.
12/13/15 the first time the odo error light came on, it triggered other lights such as tire sensor, airbag deployed to come on after the odo error went away. Odometer didn't work. Turned car off,car would clunk heavily when switching gears.took to dealer they switched out cable harness and battery.problem went away. 1/18/16 odo error light came on along with same o other lights as before, no odometer.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.
Whenever you accelerate, the transmission begins to jerk. The power train problem indicator light will come on and go off. The car frequently jerks.
Vehicle rolls when placed in park, vehicle rolls backwards on inclines while vehicle is in drive, rear bulb constantly burns out, strut and suspension failed.
The vehicle stalls at low speeds and at red lights and stop signs without warning and without great consistency. This happens multiple times per day/trip with no resolution. Dealer and independent mechanic cannot identify the problem as no codes are thrown when it happens and it restarts after stalling. This is a significant safety issue.
At 90,000 miles the transmission started slipping took it to the transmission shop did a diagnostic change the transmission oil and nothing came on the test they said there was nothing wrong with it it slipped again in a couple weeks i had to pull over put it in park started again and it went. After eight months of working good yesterday same slipping happened again took it to my mechanic did a diagnostic and again came out ok this is crazy. Planning a trip and he says i wouldn't take the car because you never know what will happen the transmission seems to be slipping but there's no recalls on it and read a lot of complaints on this why is there no recall?
The contact owns a 2008 ford edge. While operating the vehicle, a clunking noise was present when shifting gears and the vehicle hesitated while accelerating. On several occasions, the check engine indicator illuminated during the failures. After turning the vehicle off and back on, the failure would sometimes be corrected. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who was unable to determine the cause of the failures. The manufacturer and local dealer were not notified. The failure mileage was 85,000.
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.
Speeds up and down at low speeds and clunks in the transmission,also now it does it at 20 mph when the outside temperature is around 90 degrees.
Two weeks ago i was driving on nj rout 9 when the transmission sounded like it was in neutral but it wasn't. All the warning lights were on and was able to drive to a safe area and stop. I did not turn the car off and exited the car and tried to open the rear doors and hatch but couldn't. Next i turned the car off and waited a few minutes before starting it. When it started, all was fine. The next morning i drove it to a transmission shop without incident. There was only 62,000 miles on it at the time but the warranty expired because it was more than seven years. The oss was replaced at a cost of 750.00. This is not the firs major issue with this vehicle. Less than one year ago two coils faulted causing a back feed of too much voltage to the computer causing it to fry. A cost of more than 3,000.00 to repair.
As i was accelerating the transmission slipped, jerked as the engine was shifting gears.it has happened multiple times (6) since i first experienced this.
While driving down van born road (heavy traffic) the speedometer stopped and went to 0 mph, the odometer read dashes, the wrench illuminated in the corner, and the airbag warning sign appeared. The rpm's in my vehicle began to climb higher as well and the car speedometer did not indicate any mph and began to decrease,after slowing down at ta red light i noticed my car would barely move and it slowly crept until i got home 1/2 mile from when i noticed the problem start. As soon as i parked other warning lights began flashing such as the tire pressure sign. 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, loud noise as if the engine was dropping out or i was being rear ended. I turned the car off and back on to see if the warning signals were still illuminated and they reset. 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 this morning 8/20/14 and they stated that the transmission is trying to skip first gear and go directly to second gear; my car is currently in the shop. Prior to this incident i experienced occasional jerking while driving and the car was switching gears. It was very scary being a female and not knowing much about mechanics. Only 49,000 miles.
"takata recall" i was driving my child to school in highway traffic, speeds of 55 mph. The car mileage indicators went blank, a wrench light came on and all power to car was lost during turning a curve on highway.vehicle started making very loud popping noise and jerking the car. Turned car off after coming to a stop, restarted car, no warning lights, everything was normal except, when starting car, it made very loud noise as it was started, then as i placed in drive or reverse it moved the vehicle jerking an loud popping noise. The entire motor moved sideways when placed in gear an hood up. Also now it no longer works in low gear. Once placed on machine it gave code po720-722
While driving at speeds between 40-65 mph the vehicle will engage harshly with a loud bang while in o/d.when o/d is off, car will accelerate faster, when applying break there is a hesitation and car will not slow down until breaks are applied over and over again.
The contact owns a 2008 ford edge. While driving 25 mph, the wrench icon and the air bag warning indicator illuminated. The accelerator pedal failed to work and the vehicle gradually came to a complete stop. The speed on the odometer and the tachometer was incorrect. The contact pulled the vehicle over to the side of the road, turned off, and turned on the vehicle. The vehicle was returned to normal. The failure recurred and the vehicle failed to restart. The vehicle automatically restarted and the speed automatically increased from 0 to 70 mph. The contact applied the brakes to reduce the speed. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 105,929.
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.
I was in drive and stopped at a light on a hill with an automatic transmission. When the light turned green and i took my foot off the brake i started rolling backwards. It didn't stop rolling until i put my foot back on the brake.
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.
While driving through an intersection at approx 40 mph transmission shutter and locked the wheels up. Luckily the traffic around me was able to dodge me without incident. I shut it off and restarted put into 1st gear and pulled off to side of road. There was burnt gear oil smell coming from under the suv. Now it comes and goes trans slipping and ptu overheating.
Transmission slipping and downshifting hard - around 80,000k i started to notice that the transmission would bang when i put it in reverse. After that, other issues started happening - while pressing the gas pedal, vehicle would not switch to a higher gear. I'd have to come to a complete stop (in traffic!), put it in park, then try to drive again. Periods when the vehicle would get to speed then slip. Transmission would bang like i was being rear-ended. Changed the valve body, tss, and oss sensors. That worked for a while but now it's acting up again. Downshifts so hard and bangs while i'm driving at various speeds. I'm afraid it's going to go completely while i'm driving. There was no prior damage to vehicle to cause this malfunction.
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 thepower trainfaulty sensors near the transmission need to be replaced costing over $800,00, as for the airbag i haven't received a invoice yet.
While you start to drive from a stop light or stop sign, the car will not shift out of low and the engine will rev up and car will be at a crawl while trying to cross the intersection safely. While backing up, the transmission seems to slam it into reverse where you hear a loud bang and the car suddenly jerks as if you have hit something. While accelerating to get onto the freeway, the transmission shifts into low gear, stays in low and can't get up the speed to get on the freeway safely. The problem occurred at first sporadically, then when i would get home, turn off the car and then wait for a few minutes, it was as if the computer had reset and it worked find.as time went on, it occurred more frequently and turning off the vehicle was not an option. I have recently replaced the transmission and no more problems have occurred.mileage on my vehicle is approximately 102k miles, but the problem started occurring around 58k miles.
First i was driving when my breaks started to feel like they were locking up. Come to find out it was the power break booster which cost me $504.00. Then 2 weeks later my car starts to do a putting feeling and come to find out 2 of the coils burnt up the power control module costing me $1058.00. A few months before this it was in the ford dealership because of a leak on the fuel pump. Costing me $216. I am furious i have had to spend this in the last month. I just seen on the news that ford has a recall on the power control module but it was not my year. I am simply asking if someone would please look into this so maybe i can get some of this money back to pay off the debt it caused me.
It happened when i came off the highway onto the side road, there was a loud clunk in the rear of the vehicle and i lost power to drive, and when i pressed the gas it would only go 30 miles of speed.i went into a parking lot, turned the motor off and let it sit for 10 min. I restarted it and it seemed fine.but now on a regular basis it will clunk in the rear like i have been hit and then clear up and drive good.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.or find out what is really happening to this vehicle and have them all recalled to fix the problem.
Vehicle stalled while reversing into a parking spot. Barely started. Stalled a few seconds later after completing the reverse into parking spot. Barely started again. Got on the road and driving fine a few hundred feet, vehicle stalled almost ran into a group of parked vehicles. Barely started again. Made it to the highway to go home and while driving at just under 55mph limit vehicle stalls in the passing lane. Almost caused a wreck with several vehicles including a semi. Didn't start for a few minutes. Vehicle stuttered to start and barely turned over. After it started i sat there and watched the tachometer, it would, without myself touching or doing anything, idle then jump a little and dip a little over and over. There seems to be no certain situation or reasoning for when, where or why it would stall, complete randomness! highway driving, slow stop and go city driving, reversing, it seems to do it completely randomly and unexpectedly but always while moving one direction or the other. Straight line, turning, fast, slow, didn't make a difference. Finally was able to get off the highway, came into town and i was able to stop at all the lights and go but then out of no where again doing close to the 35mph limit it stalls again and this time i was at a 6 way intersection and almost hit another moving vehicle. My family will not be riding in this vehicle again until something is done! this is not normal or safe! not for me or anyone else on the roadway! i have no clue as to what the issue could be except that it's the manufacturers issue. It doesn't make any since. Vehicle has never been wrecked, above average maintenance intervals, completely maintained but this is something more than regular 'wear and tear' as one would say. Not safe at all!! could have killed myself, my family or someone else with this problem!! needs attention asap! extremely unsafe!
When i put into gear the transmission jerks into gear. All the vehicle codes go off at once. One incident i lost power when i came to a stop at an intersection. I accelerated and vehicle hesitated to accelerate. The. Speedometer read zero and i was clearly going over 40mph. I have only had the vehicle 7mos. I took it in for service at the ford dealer twice and was told it was nothing and that it might be the battery. Today is the final straw.i am writing this at the ford dealer. The transmission is jerking way to much. It is unsafe to drive. And they are trying to put me in a new car..i want my car fixed. .
After exiting hwy i was slowing down at a stop light. At about 25 mph my dash lights lit up. Wrench, tire pressure and air bag lights are lit. Speed-o was not working. After light turned green the car would not accelerate without pushing gas to the floor and rpm's reached 5000rpm's as i was going through a very busy 4 way intersection. I pulled off tue side of the road and put car in park. While shifting back into drive the transmission did a very loud clunk as it shifted through reverse and neutral to drive. After turning car off and letting set for many minutes it never reset or resolved it's self. This is a very serious situation and needs to be resolved by ford asap.
I own a 2008 ford edge. Recently i noticed my edge having a hard time shifting into fast mode. I took it to the ford dealership, nothing is wrong. Today it was horrible!!! i get to the stop light, my edge would not "take off" like the other cars. I sat there embarrassed for two mins trying to press the accelerator, edge finally jerked and then took off. Iam very disappointed in ford. I can't believe they have not recalled this edge. Now, i have to pay to get edge fixed when ford could fix the issue,. There are thousands of people complaining about this vehicle.
Car loses all power unexpectedly and randomly, at any and all speeds, anywhere, anytime, displaying odo data error, transmission violently shakes into gears, car revs up but does not accelarate, upon turning car off, removing key, opening door, reinserting and restarting car (if you managed to safely pull on the side of the road), all error displays disappear, transmission clunks in gear and car needs to be forced to rev up to reset, once it resets car drives normally again till next failure. Ford dealers unable to diagnose problem as it leaves no codes. First time charged $800 for "possible" cause that wasn't, now $1700 as pcm melted and took along with it all ignition coils. Guess what, odo data error and transmission trouble still present. Both the ford company and you people at the nhtsa need to step up to the plate and if ford doesn't voluntarily recall the edge, you ought to force them to recall it before someone gets mauled. This auto defect is an absolute danger to the operator and anyone else on the road.
Major hesitation when pushing on the gas pedal after coming to a stop or trying to pass someone.happens frequently (every day). Ford dealer said they found no problems.
In december 2009, my wife and i purchased a certified pre owned 2008 ford edge se.the vehicle has been having transmission problems.it will slip and then engage very abruptly causing the vehicle to lurch forward.it will almost hesitate and then engage violently.the speedometer will also jump up and down +/- 5 mph.it feels like we are being hit in the rear by a car.the problem occurs every couple hundred miles thus dar.the vehicle was taken to greenway ford orlando 3 times, each after an incident occured.the first time they reprogrammed the transmission cpu.the second time they removed a nail from the tire.the third time a ford engineer came out and couldn't find anything.they will not open the transmission or do anything more.i have called the dealership and ford many times.
Well i bought an 08 ford edge 1 month ago with 400 miles on it. Within the last month the veh is shifting really hard into 2nd gear. Shop has confirmed problem i am stating is happening but per ford hotline no repairs are to be done until 2500 miles. Car needs to learn driving pattern. The problem is it shifts so hard it throws my children back in their seat and goes into the red zone while shifting. My car now has 1,600 miles and still shifting really hard. The veh is now shifting hard into 2nd and 3rd gear.
Dangerous acceleration and dramatic deceleration between 20 - 40 mph with the 2008 ford edge.
2008 ford edge - transmission and acceleration defect. Our edge hesitates when accelerating after a stop and then jumps forward violently. Sometimes it will not go at all. Afraid of running into something. We got the throttle body replaced. Now the car will not change gears. Rpm are over 7 and car won't go past 20 mph. We have had it in the shop 3 times for the same problem. Because it often runs fine and then suddenly has this issue where it won't go, it could cause a serious accident on a highway. I've seen many, many other people complaining about this same car, same issue all over the web. Ford needs to do something. Started in april '10, issue still not fixed as of aug '10.
3 week old sel ford edge, with automatic transmission, rolls back while in the drive gear on any slight incline. Nearly hit car in front of me quickly switching to gas pedal from brakes to avoid hitting car behind me on incline in stop & go rush hour traffic. Safety issue for driving on slight inclines, in hilly areas,parking on any slight incline, and valet parking. Complained to dealer, but dealer says it's normal due to the torque converter selected by ford.
My vehicle is a 2008 and it onlyhas 109,000 miles on it and i started to hear a whining sound, brought it to the auto mechanic and they said that it might be something in the transmission such as a bearing.well to my surprise they transmission dealer advised me that i needed a whole new transmission.transmissions are supposed to last a long time and this is very unexpected.$3800.00 for a new transmission. I have always heard a clunking sound coming from the transmission when it shifted gears or when i put in in reverse.
I am another ford edge owner with safety concerns relating to transmission issues. My car upon acceleration got me far enough into a highway to be struck by an on coming 18 wheeler. Thank god, he was able to drive around me. The rps roar and the car basically crawls, the transmission engages and when it does it feels as if you have been rammed in the rear end. I have read many many complaints of the same situation occurring in the ford edge. Please investigate and have ford correct this issue before others are killed. My car is currently at the ford dealership, long lewis ford in hoover, alabama.
2008 ford edge, transmission issues.car acted like the brakes were on then when i went to the next stop sign i could not go forward, when trying to change gears it sounded like the whole engine was falling out.this is a dangerous situation had i been out in a busy city, and stuck in the middle of the road etc...
I have a 2008 ford edge and it is having shift problems in going from 1st to drive.this is intermittent and will not move forward at all.it has left me stalled in traffic a couple of times.ford service has been working on this for over 6 weeks and have kept the vehicle.they just seem to keep replacing parts after they reprogrammed the transmission.this is a safety and reliability problem.my wife is afraid to drive it if we ever get it back.they have only given us a six year old loaner!
2008 ford edge has a serious safety concern that needs to be addressed immediately. The ford dealership and ford motor co. Refuse any more repair attempts of defective vehicle. While driving at speeds between 40-65 mph without any warning or symptom the vehicle will suddenly make an extremely loud bang and violent jerk of the entire vehicle as if being rear ended. This occurs so fast and quickly that it is over almost as soon as it began. This is such a frightening and distractiveordeal for not only the driver but also the other occupants that family is afraid to use the vehicle. It is as if the transmission slips for a second then violently reengages. The problem first occurred in may 2010 @ 48k miles. Now after 13k miles, 6 months and 7 tries at repair/diagnosis at ford dealerships and hours on the phone with ford dealers and ford motor co. The problem still exists! i really feel that ford was just stalling and not admitting to defect/malfunction in order to let the 5yr - 60k mile powertrain warranty expire. The truth is no vehicle in the world is engineered/built to take this physical punishment and not fail. I believe if this issue is not resolved it will lead to a catastrophic failure, and i pray that no one is injured.
Having transmission issues.when accelerating from a stopped position, the automatic transmission delays in going to the next gear, causing the car to have a high rpm.this has happened several times.also, it seems the car shifts hard between gears.
The contact owns a 2008 ford edge.while at a stop sign ,the contact attempted to accelerate, but the vehicle began going backwards.in order to get the vehicle to go forward, the contact had to apply one foot on the accelerator pedal, and the other foot on the brake pedal.the vehicle was taken to the dealer and they stated that nothing could be done.the engine size and number of cylinders were unavailable.the current mileage was 314 and failure mileage was 200.
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.

Seat caught on fire due to seat warmer electrical malfunction my vehicle was not in motion it was parked
To ladies and gentlemen my 2008 ford edge se front drive the foam is not holding to the seat frame any more just come off see no way of fixing it and if it causes harm to me and or some one else in a crash that's out of my control there will be a law suit " sorry to say once you see the seat you'll no, other wise the truck is very nice but wont buy another because of this quality problem" ! this is a safety concern along with air bags combine together so one effects the other in a crash and sure would like to hear from ford before they have to hear from me. Thanks to who this may concern..
The front seat head rests of my 2008 ford edge has an angle that stretches my neck forward in an uncomfortable angle. I get severe neck pain if the back of my seat is up to support my lumbar region. If i lower the back to keep the head rest from jutting my neck forward, my lumbar region is not supported and i get back pain. So, quite often i end up with the seat forward to support my lower back and i sit at an angle to the right or left with my head to the side of the head rest and arms resting on the arm rests. So i drive at an angle in the seat with an s in my back. This is not good for my back or posture and not safe because i am not facing straight forward.i have called the ford dealer i bought the car from and they did not seem to have any solutions for this, but noted that there have been problems with this. It was suggested that i contact you and report this problem . I have and hope that i am not the only one with this issue. Thank you for your attention to this.

Power booster leaking. Seems to bea problem with this model.
This has now happened to me twice with both my small children in the car while on the highway, at highway speeds. The 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.
I have been finding it more and more difficult to use the brakes on my 2008 ford edge.i slammed on the brakes as the result of a change in the traffic and my brakes did not react and brake pedal was very stiff and barely moved toward the floor.i feel fortunate that there was no accident or injury, but my mechanic tells me i need a new brake booster and possibly a master cylinder as a result of this faulty part.much research indicates that this is a problem with many ford edges starting in 2008 but recalls only exist for later years 2010- 2013.repairs will be costly and will take time from my job.if this is such a problem, i do not understand why there is not a recall on it.i am disappointed that i will need to spend $600-1000 to replace faulty equipment that others have had issue with and has caused more recent editions to require a recall.
When vehicle is running but stationary, depressing the brake pedal completely causes a loud high pitched whistling sound. During normal operation, depressing the brake pedal causes a hissing sound.the issue has been diagnosed as a leak in the brake booster. Vehicle is 9 years, three months in service, and has 50,000 miles.ford says not included in the brake booster service extension.
While driving my car brakes on the city frontage road, noticed they became spongy and then a loss of brake functioning..i would press on the brake pedal all the way to the floor and it would not respond.would have to slow down about 1/3 block while applying brakes to get it to stop at intersections. Drove it to a brake shop and was told i needed to replace the power booster and brake master cylinder.was told car by the mechanic that the car was unsafe to drive and i decided to call a tow truck to return the car home safely.
Neededto replaced brake booster on vehicle with 84,000 miles. Brakes had to betromped onin order to stop, very dangerous. All else was ok with the brakes. All repairs shops said this should have been under warranty for under 100,000 miles and less than 10 years old.cost to repair was over $650.00. Please look into this dangerous situation.-also, still waiting for notification for airbag recall.
While stopped driver pressed hard on brake pedal causing a loud whistling sound from the engine compartment.brought vehicle to dealer, where it was determined to be the brake booster.dealer indicated there was a customer satisfaction program issued by ford.as it turned out the csp only covered 2010 - 2013 edges.dealer indicated if part failed braking would be compromised.no assistance from ford and a $550 bill to repair.research of others with 2008 ford edge and brake booster problems revealed numerous others with this known problem.ford shame on you, this could have been a catastrophic problem.
Went through intersection standing on brake pedal, would not stop, left side wheels locked up. Slid on blacktop 2+ car lengths to oncoming traffic shoulder, 2 more car lengths on gravel. Told by repair shop abs unit not working properly.could not explain why power went to wheels on the right while driving down road. Was 60,000 and 4 years old. Now 6 1/2 and 67,000 miles,still stuck with it.
Yesterday, the vehicle did not stop when it was supposed to stop.i depressed the brakes, but needed to apply excessive force and they made a hissing sound.the vehicle slowly coasted to a stop.it was a terrifying incident, especially since i have a 5 year old son. The ford dealership confirmed that the brake booster had failed. I see that this is a recall on the 2010 and newer edge, which uses the same part.i feel that this should also be a recall in the earlier models, as it is a huge safety issue.the vehicle is currently in the shop awaiting repair, which will cost me in excess of $500.i am not pleased.
I was driving my vehicle and apply brakes and the vehicle would not stop. The brakes pedal became lock and the vehicle speed up and i hit the curb and bounce to other side and hit curb again then the vehicle stop. Thank god nobody was coming and i was not injure.
Right after i purchased this vehicle, i noticed that it had a bad jerk, and chugging in the transmission. With the overdrive "off", it keeps the rpm's above 2000, and prevents it from chugging and jerking in the transmission. With the overdrive on it gears down extremely low after going down to 2000 rpm's, and losses a lot of power. When pressing down the gas pedal, it chugs and jerks severely. I have to let off the gas and then reapply the gas to stop it from jerking. Also, the power steering pops and makes noises. I got in the car today and had no brake power at all. Then had no brakes unless i pushed the brake pedal down with extreme force. And it was still extremely hard to stop my vehicle. Upon searching online, i am finding that these are very common issues with the 2008 ford edge vehicles. There should be some type of recall on this model of ford edge when this is a very common problem, in my opinion. I did a search for my vin number and it shows "no" recalls for my vehicle. I understand it'd not a new vehicle, but the amount of issues with this vehicle is ridiculous. Please help!!!
I was driving to the mall and all of a sudden i could barely press on the brakes. It was extremely difficult to press the brake pedal. I heard hissing sounds like air releasing. I took it to a mechanic and he said the brake booster was going out and this is a world wide problem with ford edges. I have yet to have it fixed as the part is extremely expensive.
I have a ford edge 2008. Starting from 08/28/2017, the brake makes "hassing" sound when it is pressed down. It is as hard as a rock at the beginning and soft as a sponge later. It's function is compromised. When it happened yesterday, it caused couple of very dangerous situation. I almost hit two cars in front and over run a traffic light because the car cannot fully stop fully. I drove this car to the dealer this morning. It was brake booster problem according to the tech service. He drove the car and felt extremely dangerous to drive the car because of the compromisedbrake function. However due to his tight schedule, he cannot fit my car into his repair service. Ford issue a recall 13n02 in 2016 for brake booster problem. However it only covers cars 2010-2013. There are plenty of complaints online regarding the same problem for cars made in other years. It is a systematic problem that relates to the design other than manufacturing process related to batches. A systematic recall should be done before any customer gets into a fatal situation.
Brakes fade, become mushy, pedal goes to the floor. Does not stop at lights sometimes causing me to put in park while moving.
My brakes started off feeling very stiff, then would sink into floor while making a hissing sound. Often barely stopping.when stopped with my foot on the brake the engine will start sputtering like it is going to shut off, when i let off the brake it will run fine.there were no warning or indications that there was a problem and i have nearly wrecked multiple times.i contacted the local ford service department and was informed that they have fixed this same problem in several of the ford edge suvs and that it would cost between $600 and $700 to repair.if so many people are having the same issue why has ford not put out a recall on this?

Partial loss of brakes stopping the vehicle while in motion.hissing noise occurred when applying the brakes.possibly caused by faulty master cylinder or boost system.* recall was issued for this problem for 2010-2013 ford edge vehicles.
After nearly 6 years i thought i would change the brakes.wife was hearing a grinding noise. I thought we were we'll overdo on them anyways. When i went to change them i was inspecting them and found the passenger side pads were barely worn they looked almost new. The driver side outer pad looked the same practically new the inner pad on the drivers side was worn down to about 1/16 to the end of the pad i feel this warrants some kind of action on behalf of ford thanks.
Without warning, brakes failed.thankfully was traveling slowly as parking the car.there was a hissing sound and brake pedal went all the way to the floor.we were lucky.could have been a disaster.car is at private mechanic.told master cylinder and brake booster bad.why wouldn't we have had a warning prior to such a potentially disastrous failure. Why wouldn't the brake warning light have activated.
My brakes make a hissing noise when i press down.. I have to press all the way down to get it to stop. This is very dangerous.also, my back tail lite has had to be replaced 2 times because the socket got hot.

While driving with my 6 month old son in the car, i couldn't stop using my brakes! i almost crashed!! i looked up the symptoms online and everyone is complaining about this issue.

It is a fire hazard waiting to happen!!

When breaking the break pedal was very difficult to push and slow in reacting.this nearly caused an accident on the first incident in a standard braking situation.after that the breaks seemed to be back to normal.this has happened a couple more times and the car is really not safe to drive.if emergency braking was needed there would be no way to stop in time and was very near to causing multiple accidents in normal driving.we have been told it is the brake booster that is the problem.this is a problem that ford is aware of and has offered to fix this issue on newer models.this is a major safety issue that needs to addressed.
Rearcalipers does not retract brake pads and there is a constant howling noise. Caused the wheel and rotor to become over heated and braking was diminished. Also brake pads fit into caliper to tight and will not retract when brake pedal is released causing brake rotors and pads to become over heated and cause components to be glazed over and diminishing braking distance. This is an ongoing problem which ford is aware of but there has been no recall or remedy to fix it.
My turn signal bulb socket fries repeatedly. This will be the fourth time in 2 years replacing it. It burns up the socket and melts the bottom of the light bulb. I got the parts from ford dealership also but i have read online any people having issues with it. It just goes out all of a sudden.

My brake booster has failed at about 95,000 miles there was no warning light severe safety issues with being unable to stop at times and the engine not running properly

The rear tail light sockets for the tail/brake light lamps are badly burned on both sides. We noticed the problem when we changed the tail light housing due to water vapor build up. Only the right side had the visible water vapor. Both sides had the burned lamp sockets. The car was purchased used.
As i was driving to work last friday, june 5th, i stepped on my breaks and they did not respond.i re-pumped and was lucky enough to avoid a collision. I took the car to five star ford in plano tx where they have looked it and advised that the break booster is not working as it should and needs to be replaced.they quoted me $618.25 to do this work.i decided to review the recall information as i remember seeing something about this part.sure enough ford has recalled the 2012 - 2014 ford edge models for the break booster - the same issue impacting my model.i am writing to make you aware of this safety issue
Took my vehicle in early for service at sunrisebecause 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 publishedin their won alerts. Seriously dangerous! there are numerous postings of other ford edge owners having these problems. Please investigate their questionable protocols on dangers that are known with their vehicles.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

When traveling on highway with cruise control engaged, a need for rapid braking resulted in a momentary "hard" brake pedal before disengaging cruise control.when stopped at traffic signal with foot on brake, pedal gradually sinks towards floorboard and feels soft and "mushy"attempt at braking while driving along at steady speed (50mph), the brake pedal was hard and resistant resulting in delayed braking action.potential for accident.
A couple years ago, experienced problems with my braking system.i was driving downa road and coming up to a light. Upon braking, the peddle was very, very stiff and hard to depress, the car shuddered a bit and braking seemed compromised...i almost felt like the car would not stop in time to avoid sliding into the car in front of me.i used an inordinate amount of pressure to finally get the car to stop.i was near home at the time so i continued the last couple miles to the house, being careful to drive very conservatively and to engage the brake much sooner than usual to make certain i had enough room to stop the car. Took the car the next day to a local repair shop...after diagnosis i was told that the brake power booster was at fault and needed to be replaced. Repair was approximately $580, if memory serves.i was unhappy at the time of course but, until i researched my recent transmission issues,did not realize that this was yet another problem that many other edge owners have experienced.i also did not realize that i could register a complaint via nhtsa until recently or i would have submitted this complaint when the brake power booster required replacement.but again, like the transmission issues (nhtsa #10874656), it seems like this is a common problem that affects ford edges to an inordinate degree and should be investigated by nhtsa as a potential recall.this does not seem like a regular, expected 'wear and tear'maintenance issue but rather a defect that should be addressed by the manufacturer, not the consumer.
The contact owns a 2008 ford edge. While driving with the cruise control activated, the brakes failed when the brake pedal was depressed. While driving without the cruise control activated, the failure recurred. The vehicle was diagnosed by an independent mechanic who stated the brake booster failed and needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 109,000.
I was driving and the brakes are stiff and i could not stop. I have nearly wrecked 3 times now apparently due to a faulty brake booster. This seems to be a known problem but i don't know why only the 2010 to 2013 models have the extended warranty for the brake boosters. This is ridiculous to not have any warning my brakes are out. Especially since ford is aware of the issue.

First i was driving when my breaks started to feel like they were locking up. Come to find out it was the power break booster which cost me $504.00. Then 2 weeks later my car starts to do a putting feeling and come to find out 2 of the coils burnt up the power control module costing me $1058.00. A few months before this it was in the ford dealership because of a leak on the fuel pump. Costing me $216. I am furious i have had to spend this in the last month. I just seen on the news that ford has a recall on the power control module but it was not my year. I am simply asking if someone would please look into this so maybe i can get some of this money back to pay off the debt it caused me.

The contact owns a 2008 ford edge limited. The contact was reversing from a residential driveway when she discovered that in order to stop the vehicle, the brakes would have to be applied abruptly. Later, while driving approximately 30 mph, the brakes where engaged and the vehicle would not stop and the vehicle proceeded through a red traffic light. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where she was advised that the brake booster would need replacing. The contact was awaiting repairs. The approximate failure mileage was 36,000 and the current mileage was 37,200.
The brakes felt as if there is air in the lines. The pedal would start to brake as normal, but then move slight forward as if air in the lines. This gives you a feeling of pushing harder. We had taken to the dealer more than 3 times. The last time they kept the car for a week or so. No problem was found. Ford headquarters could not find a reason to the issue. I am reporting this as i saw in the news that ford is having the same problem with other type of cars.
The contact owns a 2008 ford edge.while driving 30 mph, the contact noticed that it took a significant amount of time to stop the vehicle.he did not notice any differences in the vehicle beforehand and the dealer has not diagnosed the cause of the failure.the current and failure mileages were 5,600.

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.
I purchased a new 2008 ford edge in january of 2009.i began experiencing braking problems early in 2011.this car has about 15,000 miles on it when i took ijt back to the dealer.when i described the problem to the maintenance manager and the mechanic, both stated that it was problem due to rust on the rotors.the mechanic removed the wheels and showed me the rotors that were completely rusted.he then removed the rotors and showed me one that had a piece about the size of a dime that had physically rusted away from the rotor.i asked how that had happened as i keep my car in the garage and had very little mileage on it.he stated that the car had probably sat in the lot for 6 months prior to my purchase.i complained to the managers at the dealer and also wrote a letter to ford about this subject.although all of these persons admit it is due to rust, they would not take responsibility for the damage.since automobiles were being sold at a slow pace when i purchased the car, this problem must exist on others.maybe you should look into the problem.
Sitting at red light , foot on brake, my 2009 ford edge with less than 9000 miles accelerates on its own sending me into the car in front, her into the intersection avoid her i turn, my car will not stop i put it park, still will not stop, put on emergency brake, finally stops. Much trauma ensues including other driver going to hospital, physical pain and anxiety on my part ,answering police questions, etc. I still have no car as i will not drive that death trap and it still sits at the dealership. They have not been much help. I am having to fight ford motor co. And that is a nightmare. They have jerked me around, delayedtheir responses and i guess wish i would go away. I have done research and now know that this is not the first time this has happened. I t is called unintended acceleration and they know it is real ! i am now working with an attorney but it never should have come to this. I simply asked that they cancel our lease with no financial penalty, and let me work with my dealer on getting a safe car. Is there no justice for me ?

In making a right hand turn, the steering wheel became uncontrollable and impossible to straighten out causing the vehicle to continue in its turning radius and crash into a sign on the sidewalk. The vehicle was transported to a salvage yard. I am of the belief that the ball joint failed. We have always maintained the car at ford authorized dealerships and even replaced the ball joints recently.this car has a propensity for failing ball joints.[xxx], [xxx], w rox ,ma 02132, [xxx]('parts of this document have been redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).')

Power steering fluid leaks due to ptu going out.
Events leading up to failure: was driving car at a very slow rate of speed (less than 5 mph) making a right hand turn into a commercial shopping center.failure: upon making turn, i heard a "pop" noise. After trying to accelerate the vehicle, it would not move. I got out of the car and noticed that the wheel had become detached from the axle and was only attached to the vehicle by the strut. Bearings had fallen out of the related components and the wheel was at approximately a 60% angle with the pavement (other wheel was fine and was perpendicular to pavement). Correction of failure: towing truck responded and the vehicle is currently being serviced under the manufacturers warranty. Initial report from the service team is that it is most likely manufacturer defect. I have been told that all parts related in accident will be replaced or refurbished to maintain 100% working order.
On saturday, november 16th.between the hours of 5pm and 7pm, while driving, we were heard a "popping" noise from the front of the car.we also noticed the windshield cracking and thought the noise was from the window cracking.when we arrived home, the car was in the garage sitting and we heard the car "pop" again.the same thing happened sunday while going to church and home.monday morning on the 19th, my wife parked in the school parking lot to attend a school meeting and when she came out, the hood was up and the front was popped up.we took it to the local ford dealer and they indicated that the strut tower failed. The mechanic indicated i would not be able to drive it because it was a safety risk.they were surprised that my wife was able to drive and glad that it did not totally fail.it was indicated that the metal on the frame of the strut tower fatigued and it caused the strut tower to pop up.i have pictures if anyone would like it.the vehicle mileage at the time of incident is an estimate.it may be a little less.
I always maintained my "pre-owned" vehicle, purchased from dealership with 25,000 miles. Began to experience a plethora of problems after 2,000 miles. I've paid over $8,000 in repairs and only drove it 35,000 in 8 years time, but maintained it properly & regularly: i've had to change the brakes & pads, & battery twice, it's wheel rims constantly leak air in the winter causing flat tires, changed all 4 tires, and on august 2, 20017, while driving on the highway at 60 mph, my steering control suddenly locked up! there was no control over the vehicle's movements- no ability to make lane adjustments or turns! i and my entire family including grandchildren could have been killed!! luckily, the next off-ramp was a straight shot & i was able to exit the hwy safely and bring the vehicle to stop despite no steering control. I had my vehicle towed to a ford dealership which incorrectly diagnosed the problem, & did not bother to inspect it for three days. It now needs a costly ($1500) rack and pinion to replace it's rusted out pressurized fuel line for power steering fluid. It remains unrepaired to date since there is also a takata airbag recall w/ possible fatal injury on this vin. The repairs have been delayed because this vehicle is an unsafe danger to drive! the fuel line defect was undetectable even though i had regular maintenance care and checkups.
In making a right hand turn, the steering locked up preventing straightening of vehicle and causing driver to crash.
Around 57,900 miles, a clicking sound appeared whenever the wheel was turned to the left more than half way. The sound became progressively louder over the next few weeks. The sound only occurred in left turns and the sound came from the right front. The problem was diagnosed as a failed bearing in the right cv shaft. Replacement of the shaft cost $600.according to the shop, this is an unusual failure for a car of this mileage.
Right after i purchased this vehicle, i noticed that it had a bad jerk, and chugging in the transmission. With the overdrive "off", it keeps the rpm's above 2000, and prevents it from chugging and jerking in the transmission. With the overdrive on it gears down extremely low after going down to 2000 rpm's, and losses a lot of power. When pressing down the gas pedal, it chugs and jerks severely. I have to let off the gas and then reapply the gas to stop it from jerking. Also, the power steering pops and makes noises. I got in the car today and had no brake power at all. Then had no brakes unless i pushed the brake pedal down with extreme force. And it was still extremely hard to stop my vehicle. Upon searching online, i am finding that these are very common issues with the 2008 ford edge vehicles. There should be some type of recall on this model of ford edge when this is a very common problem, in my opinion. I did a search for my vin number and it shows "no" recalls for my vehicle. I understand it'd not a new vehicle, but the amount of issues with this vehicle is ridiculous. Please help!!!
Vehicle lost all power while driving in traffic and steering locked when turning the corner at intersection causing loss of control of vehicle. This has happened on several occasions under random conditions. Weather conditions, vehicle temperature, speed, direction, braking or acceleration does not have any factors when this happens.the vehicle shuts off randomly and power is lost. No codes or warning of any kind. Ford factory has investigated, wiring harness to the mass airflow sensor has been replaced but still continues to have the same problem.
Rear tail light bulbs are melting, several times now, after doing research it seems to be happening to a lot of people, so i see it as a safety issue. My turn signal went out and went to replace it and discovered the bulb was melted into the socket. (this happened three times now, i'm trying to figure out the issue. (it may be a factory electrical design fluke)also ive began to lose gas andvit is not remaining in the gas tank. It has caused my gas light to come on. Which triggered the check engine light to come on as well. This happened on or about 12/15/2020. Then the bearings an began to shake and wobble badly. From the contaminates amd salts. I am really having difficulties with my vehicle and im in meed of help badly. Now as of 1/5/2021 my car has started to fish tail showing the sway bar is giving out

I have owned multiple vehicles and never had a problem like this.i bought a 2008 ford edge in nov 2011.by june of 2012, i had water pouring into my vehicle through the dash onto my vehicle floor.my mechanic said that the condensation drain was clogged with leaves, which caused the water to rise.the water shorted out the motor for my fan, so my whole motor had to be replaced.now i am having this problem again.the only people i know of who have had this issue are ford edge owners.due to owning various makes and models of vehicles and never experiencing this problem and from internet searching, i believe this is a defect with the ford edge.

The driver door ajar warning is illuminated on the dash and the doom lights wont turn off. I have found out this is a very common issue with fords where the poorly designed door latch binds up. I had this same issue with my 2002 explorer and now with my 2008 edge. 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. From what i can tell i have been lucky to get this far before this issue has surfaced since i have read that ford cars 2 to 3 years old seem to have this very same issue.
Paint on body of car bubbles then peels leading to rust on the interior and exterior of hood.ford alludes that this has been an issue with various models but states that they are limited in what they are able to offer unless a recall is issued.
Takata recall it has been over a year and a half and ford still has not corrected this issue, also the chrome plating on door handles and trim has cracked causing serious cuts to hands.

The contact stated that a warning light kept randomly flashing for the door sensor, which indicated that the door was not shut when the door was closed and vise versa for all four doors. The contact was unable to enter the vehicle unless the contact manually unlocked the doors from the outside. The internal dome light remained illuminated as the failure progressed. The vehicle was not inspected and diagnosed. The vehicle was to be taken to a dealer. The approximate failure mileage was 88,000.
The contact owns a 2008 ford edge. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 65 mph, the vehicle was making an abnormal noise and shaking violently. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the coil and the power train control module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was then towed to a dealer but was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximately failure mileage was 87,000.
In making a right hand turn, the steering wheel became uncontrollable and impossible to straighten out causing the vehicle to continue in its turning radius and crash into a sign on the sidewalk. The vehicle was transported to a salvage yard. I am of the belief that the ball joint failed. We have always maintained the car at ford authorized dealerships and even replaced the ball joints recently.this car has a propensity for failing ball joints.[xxx], [xxx], w rox ,ma 02132, [xxx]('parts of this document have been redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).')
The contact owns a 2008 ford edge. The contact stated that the passenger's side rear wheel exhibited a loud roaring noise while the contact was driving at various speeds. The dealer replaced the rear wheel bearing twice however, the failure was not corrected. The wheel continued to make the loud noise while the contact drove at any speed. The approximate failure mileage was 45,000 and the current mileage was 99,374.
Noise coming from the right, rear wheel area at various speeds.sounds like a light rumble strip sound and a light squealing/grinding also.took it to a local mechanic who says the bearings are bad. Ford needs to do something about this issue. It's seems to be an existing problem on these edges and recurring problems as well.
Well this is been recalled. On other 2008 ford. Edge but i think my 2008 ford edge should be in that recall i recently bought my edge from a used dealer all the safety issues and recalls myford edge has my has all of the issues my ford edge went in for tire rotation and oil change when they returned my car i left the shop and then realized the front tire is vibrating when driven slowly and turns i called ford to ask if my car was one of the ones on the recall list for bearing recall and the said no i know this was not an issue till now and im afraid to drive my car due to this recall i feel my car should be included also of course the tranny is definitely not working correctly when also driving slowly it jerks terribly in to another gear. Serval times i have avoided car accidents by having to brake abruptly cause the car to get stuck in that gear and me having to suddenly forcing the car to pull over to side of busy 5 o clck traffic and turn off car and restart it to engage the gears to the next one i have backed into my fence do to this sudden jerking without warning and have damaged my back bumper due to this issue and that my car is not been recall due to these issues. First time i buy american and first-time i hate my car now im stuck making payment on a car that has so many issues and un able to drive safely i making payment for the next 17 months for a car i cant drive and i will never buy american again also the brakes a grinding and squeeling and since i have abs brakes system shouldnt thewarning light be warning mebefore they actually start sounding like grinding to pieces of metal together i feel my car should be one of the one that should get recalled for issues other cars have been recalled for the same issues and this started since 6/16 /2018 and has been everyday since and im also still waiting to get the air bag recall fixed its been over a year
Rear tail light bulbs are melting, several times now, after doing research it seems to be happening to a lot of people, so i see it as a safety issue. My turn signal went out and went to replace it and discovered the bulb was melted into the socket. (this happened three times now, i'm trying to figure out the issue. (it may be a factory electrical design fluke)also ive began to lose gas andvit is not remaining in the gas tank. It has caused my gas light to come on. Which triggered the check engine light to come on as well. This happened on or about 12/15/2020. Then the bearings an began to shake and wobble badly. From the contaminates amd salts. I am really having difficulties with my vehicle and im in meed of help badly. Now as of 1/5/2021 my car has started to fish tail showing the sway bar is giving out
Vehicle rolls when placed in park, vehicle rolls backwards on inclines while vehicle is in drive, rear bulb constantly burns out, strut and suspension failed.
While driving on a city street at approximately 30mph, we drove over a standard manhole cover and there was an immediate banging noise above the front driver's side wheel and the section of the hood closest to the windshield was pushed up about 6 inches. We pulled over and could see the strut pressing up against the hood. The vehicle was towed to a mechanic shop where we learned that the entire strut tower had broken through the strut support due to a catastrophic failure of the spot welds that were connecting the upper strut mount cap to the vehicle body. The tow truck driver nor the mechanic had ever seen this kind of structural failure. We are grateful that we were not on the highway when this incident occurred, and we are eager for the issue to be looked into further to determine if this is a structural defect of the 2008 ford edge that could further affect our or other families' vehicle safety.
Rear wheel bearing failure, have to replace bearing and trailing arm.
On saturday, november 16th.between the hours of 5pm and 7pm, while driving, we were heard a "popping" noise from the front of the car.we also noticed the windshield cracking and thought the noise was from the window cracking.when we arrived home, the car was in the garage sitting and we heard the car "pop" again.the same thing happened sunday while going to church and home.monday morning on the 19th, my wife parked in the school parking lot to attend a school meeting and when she came out, the hood was up and the front was popped up.we took it to the local ford dealer and they indicated that the strut tower failed. The mechanic indicated i would not be able to drive it because it was a safety risk.they were surprised that my wife was able to drive and glad that it did not totally fail.it was indicated that the metal on the frame of the strut tower fatigued and it caused the strut tower to pop up.i have pictures if anyone would like it.the vehicle mileage at the time of incident is an estimate.it may be a little less.
Popping noise made from front driver side tires when turning left, at gear change transmission jerks, powertrain awd malfunction light came on , truck would not accelerate into 2nd gear loud grinding noise made, censor had to be replaced, popping noise still exist in left front tire
In making a right hand turn, the steering locked up preventing straightening of vehicle and causing driver to crash.
While driving my 2008 ford edge, a roaring type noise comes from the rear of the unit. As you accelerate to noise grows in volume. At first it appeared to me as "road noise" i changed pressures in the tires and rotated the front to the rear. Nothing changes. After researching the problem, it appears that it is the rear wheel bearings. According to ford the bearing hub and the rear suspension trailing arm/knuckle assembly must also be changed on the affected side. The trailing arm causes to much pressure on the bearings and wipes them out. Also the wheels have to be re-aligned due to the installation of the new trailing arm. Ford states that just changing only the bearing hub will cause the problem to happen again. If the bearing fails this could cause a serious accident with the potential of serious injury or worse to the occupants of this vehicle and anyone else as a result of this failure.this appears to be a possible problem with the design of the suspension system and not normal wear and tear. I purchased this vehicle used in late november 2012. As i drove it longer the noise in the rear has gotten louder and louder.
Had been noticing loud roaring sound from right rear of vehicle. Drove from ohio to florida (1,000 miles) & got worse/louder... Took it to local ford mechanic who informed known issue in these cars is the rear wheel hub assembly fails, once replaced just fails again. Noise is incredibly noticeable and not just annoying but scary to me & any passengers. Obviously a manufacturer's defect, ticked ford's not covering it.
The contact owns a 2008 ford edge. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle vibrated abnormally. The contact stated that the failure was more evident while slowing the vehicle to a stop. The vehicle was not taken to be diagnosed nor repaired. Neither a dealer nor the manufacturer were notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 138,000.
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.
Events leading up to failure: was driving car at a very slow rate of speed (less than 5 mph) making a right hand turn into a commercial shopping center.failure: upon making turn, i heard a "pop" noise. After trying to accelerate the vehicle, it would not move. I got out of the car and noticed that the wheel had become detached from the axle and was only attached to the vehicle by the strut. Bearings had fallen out of the related components and the wheel was at approximately a 60% angle with the pavement (other wheel was fine and was perpendicular to pavement). Correction of failure: towing truck responded and the vehicle is currently being serviced under the manufacturers warranty. Initial report from the service team is that it is most likely manufacturer defect. I have been told that all parts related in accident will be replaced or refurbished to maintain 100% working order.
The contact owns a 2008 ford edge. The contact stated that the vehicle experienced a loss of engine power. The vehicle could not be driven over 1,000 rpms. The failure occurred without warning. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the front axle on the passenger side was defective and needed to be replaced. The vehicle could not be repaired. Prior to the failure, the vehicle experienced the same failure and the front axle on the passenger side was replaced. The technician stated that the manufacturer would no longer build parts for the 2008 ford edge. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 86,000.
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 getmyself 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. The vehicle was stationary in the parking lot of the grocery store.there wasn't a vehicle accident but i did receive an injury to my neck and shoulder, extent to be determined.*dtconsumer stated when driving vehicle starts to shake. Vehicle was taken to the dealer, pcm melted two igniton coils and new computer replaced.
2008 ford edge, right rear suspension system, needs rear controlling arm and wheel bearing replaced.noise from rear right of vehicle noted.had tires checked (referencing tread), rotated, and balanced.the business noted the wheel bearing malfunction/issue and advise to take to ford.contacted local ford dealership. Per phone call, was advised this had been occurring on several edge vehicles.once taken to shop, confirmed and advised both the wheel bearing and the controlling arm must be replaced as one.advised back order for controlling arm, but not information available on how long it would take to receive.asked ford if safe to drive and was advise "yes, it is safe to drive; it just may be more noticeable/make more noise".incident date is listed as the date taken to tire shop.noise seem to appear approximately 1 to 1/2 months ago. *cw
I bought brand new a 2008 ford edge i have had so much trouble with it and it has been in shop so many times and they still can't figure it out. From transmission to hot temp, bearings in tire being melted with under 60,000 miles!!!! i have repaired brake booster twice!!!
My 2008 ford edge has tire pressure monitors which indicates my tire pressure is dangerously low when i change rims and tires to my snow tires twice a year. When i purchased the tires from les schwab tires i was assured that they where able to reset this system if necessary. Apparently this is not the case andthe system must be reset by a ford service. Last year ford reset the system which takes about one minute, when i brought my car in for 5000 mile service.. This year i was told by lake city ford in coeur d alene, id when i brought my car in for servicethat there is a $24.95 charge to reset the tpm's.knowing human nature it is my belief that if the consuming public has to pay $25 twice a year to reset the system the advantage of having tpm will not be of any benefit since most people will simply not have the system reset and ignore dash board warnings of potential tire failure. This is not in the best interest of public safety and potentially very dangerous.a safety system so important and a one minute reset process to reset it does not seem logicalto discourage it's benefits by changing $24.95.
My air bag and wrench light come on at same time my dash goes blank and i loose all power it has happened many times .

I was driving on the highway going 70 mpr and my 08 ford edge made a noise the odometer went to zero and went from 70 mpr on the highway to 0 it would not go. I'm so thankful my kids weren't in the car and i wasable to go off the exit ramp before it completely stopped. This has happened 3 times all on the highway before or after work. Each the time car was tolled from work or where it stopped running. Taken to shops to see what's wrong they can find anything. The last episode happened mothers day the car was tolled to a ford dealership they had the car for 1 week and couldn't find anything they told me to trade if off its not safe to drive... So i'm completely baffled why a dealership would tell me to trade the car so someone else could possibly get seriously injured or die. I could not to do it. The car is now not coming on without a jump and has not be driveable since mothers day 2017 when it did all the above again. This has been happening since october 2015 a year after getting it. We have all the documentations and receipts of paying lots of money out of pocket. Not one person ever told me to check on this site for safety issues even knowing the car stops on the highway at any given moments and unreliable or faulty until i called out auto insurance today and we seen all of this!! what a mess i have contacted a class action case as of today!
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.
For no particular reason my edge decelerates to ten miles an hour while the tach reads 3rpmsit has happened on all types of roads and in traffic also. The tranny fluid is always fine. No codes on dash either. I have my gas pedal to the floor and it will only creep at 10 mph. When it reengages it is a large hard jerk forward.one evening as i pulled into my own driveway it wouldn't move forward at all i shut it off waited restarted it and it was like nothing happened. It does studder a bit going uphill almost like it doesn't want to go then it does. For a while i thought it was things like bad gasdirt in a fuel linelow fluids but it isn't this 2008s need a recall as many other edge owners have the same issues. I have made an appt for the car at the dealer and i am not convinced they know the answer either. I received the recall for the gas tank , but i want one for this as i and many other ford edge owners have the same scary power train issues reported to you nhtsa please help us . I want a recall free repairs or a trade in with out being taken advantage of because of this problem thank yousaylorsburg pennsylvania.
Well brought the car back in 2014. Wonderful car for the long trips around usa.

My suv lunges forward while in motion it has just cut off while in motion with no warning. I was on my city street and the vehicle just cut off and i had to turn the key over to restart it. Then it has started lunging while i am driving it. We bought the vehicle in dec. 2017 & when we complained about the lunging, the dealer took it in & said that it needed a tune-up. We paid $300 about 5 months ago and got a tuneup and it has started to lunge again. It occurs while i am driving, sometimes on the highway and also in regular city traffic at about 35 mph. Recently it started cutting off randomly. I am calling to report if to ford & where i bought the vehicle tomorrow. The cutting off has happened twice. Once in dec. And then today, feb. 3, 2019.
I am having the same problems as another 2008 ford edge driver described on the complaint/investigation page. I am actually going to copy and paste her complaint. Driving straight on freeway at 60 mph and the dash suddenly displays odo error. Wrench light, low tire pressure light, and air bag light come on. Speedometer shows 0 mph but tach still works. After i stop the car and try to take off again it has no pickup. Transmission seems to be stuck in 5th gear or overdrive. Tach goes up to 2500 rpm but vehicle barely moves. When i shift from park to drive or reverse the engine/transmission makes a horrible clunking noise that makes me think it will come out of the body. The only way i can get the car driveable again is to disconnect battery for a few minutes then reconnect. Everything resets and works but occurs again-sometimes a week later, sometimes a couple of months later.i am afraid to drive my car, and it also happened to my 17-year-old daughter last week. My husband had to go out and disconnect the battery to she could safely drive back home. And it is very random when it happens. I drive highways and county roads for work and sometimes there is nowhere to pull over! i'm a nurse and a paramedic...i dont want to be a patient!it has to be investigated and a fix found!!! i can't afford a new car. This is definitely a safety issue!! when the other driver talked about putting into gear after the restart, the vehicle literally lurches forward or backward!!! please help!
Pcm melted 2 ignition coils, had to have new computer installed $3000. Odometer was 55,000 approx.
When were driving the car it loses power(the traction control just comes on for no reason) , when we go above 70 our abs light comes on, our brakes randomly just start grinding then they will stop, we have replaced the breaks last month.
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.
When driving at various speeds, transmission slips out of gear. Take foot off gas then press gas and transmission jerks the vehicle hard. Once stopped, vehicle will not accelerate. Restart engine 3 times and it works. Sometimes wrench engine light illuminates.
This car was totaled after an accident in 2013 and went to the junkyard.please take this off of your records for recalls.

The nhtsa says vehicles are being prioritized based on the likelihood of danger. Factors include the age of your car and where you live. This is due to the fact that there's a link between malfunctioning air bags and long-term exposure to heat and high humidity. I am in zone b but i am a 5 minute drive from south carolina. So my question is does that mean because i am 5 miles from south carolina, is my faulty airbag safer than the vehicles with the faulty takata airbagsin sc, zone a ? i first received notice july, 2016. Now ford has rented me a vehicle (sardine can) because they don't know when replacement parts will be available. The fact that they knew long before this vehicle was available for sale that the airbags were unsafe, is tantamount to criminal negligence. If they aren't called to task they will continue endangering lives in order to increase the value of their stock. Made in america used to mean something, not anymore. At approximately 20,000 putting the car in drive or reverse it makes some clunking noise and hesitates before it engages. On an incline the car rolls back and you have to work gas and brake together, this is a automatic, not a stick shift. At 71 i do not appreciate that ford has been playing russian roulette with the lives of my mom, daughter, granddaughters & great grandchildren, this vehicle hasn't been safe from the day it rolled off the assembly line.
I put the car in reverse and heard a loud thump thump and thought i backed into an object, but did not.when i put the car in drive, there was little acceleration even though i had the accelerator to the floor. I continued on and after a little while, about 2 miles, the car ran alright and i made it home safely.i immediately contacted the ford dealership in town, and dropped the vehicle off this morning 7/29/2014.
Transmission is banging into gear including reverse .at times is refuses to move forward . From a stand still it bangs when placed in reverse and bangs on up shifts 2nd and third gears .
Automatic door locking once the vehicle reaches a certain low speed has failed to work on a number of occasions.unless i am being attentive enough to notice they have not locked i'm sure there has been a number of times the doors have been unlocked for an entire trip.i assume this would be a safety issue in the event of a crash if the doors were not locked.
Turned on car and put it in reverse then drive when pulling out of parking lot,. Transmission made a loud "clunk". Pressed hard on gas but car would barely crawl. Speedometer stopped working rpms would increase dramatically, wrench, check engine, airbag, and tire pressure lights all came on. Continuing on city street problem remained. Car eventually gained enough speed that rpms went down, but the speedometer still did not work. The next day, the problem disappeared except check engine light remains on.
There are multiple reports online of issues with stalling when the vehicle switches gears, especially when shifting from park into drive or reverse. It seems to be a sensor issue for everyone, can this please be addressed? it is very expensive to have the labor completed to resolve this issue. Thank you!
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.
While driving ,infull motion, , the car comes to an almost stop! scares you to death, you check to make sureyou haven't accidently put the car inneutral ,all the warning lights on the dash lightup ,thecheck engine, the low tire gage symbol, the tool light,, the speedometer stops working,. The car refuse to move forward, placed in reverse it moves backward ,theford dealer is unable to fix the problem ,codesdon't show up to helpidentifythe problem. The danger is it happens while you are driving. Its been diagnosedas a transmission problem (very expensive) but that's not what it is. You reprogram it temporary,by taking the positive battery cable loose for a few seconds, the car drives perfect until it happens again, its happen three times with this car, i have called the ford cooperate office to report this problem.
I own a 2008 edge with approx. 150,000 miles on it.the car has stalled on me 3 times in the last 3-4 months. The first time the car stalled i was on the freeway during rush hour. Thankfully i was able to restart the care and move it off to the side of the freeway before it stalled again. After having it towed, i was told that the water pump had cracked. The water pump involved a lot of labor and cost me about $1100-$1200 with the tow. About a week later, i was again driving on the freeway and the car stalled. Again, i was able to make my way off the freeway before the car died completely. Once again, i had to have the care towed. This time, i was told that the engine appeared to have coolant in the oil and created a murky goo. My engine needed to be replaced. Another $2200. The last incident was friday, may 20th. I had no indication there was a problem of any kind. I literally drove less than half a mile when the care overheated and stalled.i called and emailed ford to see if i could get any assistance, but have either have had no response or an email indicating that if the car is not under warranty or if no recalls have been issued, i would be responsible for any work that needs to be done. I contacted the dealership where i purchased the car, but have not received a response. I am out of money and options. I have been without a car for almost two weeks and feel incredibly frustrated by this situation. I find it absurd that a vehicle would get a blown engine with no warning and that a recall has not been issued. I am facing another $1200 or so in vehicle repairs.

I 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.

A 1995 landrover ran a stoplight and t-boned my vehicle in the middle of the intersection. A second car hit the back of my car.
Vehicle stalled while reversing into a parking spot. Barely started. Stalled a few seconds later after completing the reverse into parking spot. Barely started again. Got on the road and driving fine a few hundred feet, vehicle stalled almost ran into a group of parked vehicles. Barely started again. Made it to the highway to go home and while driving at just under 55mph limit vehicle stalls in the passing lane. Almost caused a wreck with several vehicles including a semi. Didn't start for a few minutes. Vehicle stuttered to start and barely turned over. After it started i sat there and watched the tachometer, it would, without myself touching or doing anything, idle then jump a little and dip a little over and over. There seems to be no certain situation or reasoning for when, where or why it would stall, complete randomness! highway driving, slow stop and go city driving, reversing, it seems to do it completely randomly and unexpectedly but always while moving one direction or the other. Straight line, turning, fast, slow, didn't make a difference. Finally was able to get off the highway, came into town and i was able to stop at all the lights and go but then out of no where again doing close to the 35mph limit it stalls again and this time i was at a 6 way intersection and almost hit another moving vehicle. My family will not be riding in this vehicle again until something is done! this is not normal or safe! not for me or anyone else on the roadway! i have no clue as to what the issue could be except that it's the manufacturers issue. It doesn't make any since. Vehicle has never been wrecked, above average maintenance intervals, completely maintained but this is something more than regular 'wear and tear' as one would say. Not safe at all!! could have killed myself, my family or someone else with this problem!! needs attention asap! extremely unsafe!
Wrench light comes on,low air tire light,air bag light on,speedometer quits and no power and hard clunking in the transmission.just bought this,owe $11,000. On this car that is very dangerous to drive,what just ford? drive until we get killed!
Brake boster failureheater core failure-replacement $876
Water pump went out causing car to overheat. Over view of vehicle determined that when the pump went out it mixed the antifreeze and oil inside the engine. Instead of just replacing the water pump now i need a whole new engine.
As everyone else, loses acceleration, shut off and it seems fine later. High rpm no power, as if it cant shift. No error lights, shaking along with sputtering when it has a load.....very dangerous as i drive major highway daily. Has been happening more frequently now
Airbags have still not been fixed from a 2016 recall. Two years is hardly a timely manor. There is no eta available to boot.
While driving my 2008 ford edge it would not shift than a loud bang and slammed into gear ,went for a short time then would not shift lights came on dash board tech reved up no speedometer.
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.clearly if you do research on the internet this has been a problem with the ford edges for several years.
Takata recalli smell gas coming from my car ever since got from car lot automaxx and the transmission is acting up as well as the suspension too. It's overheating on me and haven't even had the car 2 months. The recall has been on going o.n this car for years they're is still 2 recalls open on my car. I never should of been sold this car because never has gotten the ok from the formal problems its had in the past. Now i'm scared going to catch on fire while driving
Entering highway and auto would not shift gears or accelerate.stayed idle at over 5 rpm's and had to pull off the road.seemed like a transmission problem. Towed to repair shop for assessment.still at shop. This vehicle on multiple occasions before this incident has regularly engaged in a violent jerk when i have engaged it in drive or reverse. Seems like a transmission issue but dealer wont do anything unless they can duplicate problem.i have seen and know of numerous other ford edge owners that have had the same issue and no fix has been found or dealer and ford wont fix unless it duplicated the issue while they have the vehicle and most times its something not covered.this is a serious safety issue and they need to be held accountable.
2008 ford edge - the brakes have a severe grinding/vibrating noise for the first 5-10 times i brake after the car has been turned off for several hours/overnight. This seems to be worse the colder the outside temperature, although this happens in all weather, either 50 degree or 80 degree weather. This started to happen around 10k miles and i took it into the dealer, they said they couldn't duplicate the issue and the brakes are fine. After it got worse each month and now at 18k miles i took it again into the dealer (sunnyvale ford) and they duplicated the problem but told me that ford has a technical service bulletin issued for it but they claim this isn't a safety issue so they have no fix. I checked and didn't see a tsb when i searched the web for my 2008 edge. The dealer said i have to brake hard several times and then it'll go away but they said the issue could come back. The dealer said they've had this braking issues with many other ford edge's. Not just mine. After getting my car back this week i've noticed that the braking noise/vibration still happens. I'm concerned this could be a safety issue and/or defect that could lead to me not knowing when to differentiate brake grinding/vibrating noises from being harmless or potentially fatal. Also, i've read and heard of many other ford edge owners with this same complaint. Please contact me for any followup questions. Thank you.
Pulling out of a parking lot turning right tried to accelerate significant amount of traffic behind me after turning and i couldn't go anywhere.pulled into the nearest parking lot approx. 50 feet or more piled into parkin spot.then sat for a couple inured wrench illuminated on dash board.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.thank god it didn't as i wouldn't be writing this letter.for the safety of others this should be considered a recall item.
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.
My transmission is being replaced at 96,400 miles.i've been having intermittent problems where it would clunk when shifting to the next gear. I've paid hundreds of dollars between 2 ford dealerships and 2 automotive repair shops just to try to figure out what the issue is. But last week as i started my 30 mile drive home, my car stopped shifting. Now i'm paying roughly $5,000 to get a transmission in my car. On top of paying$200 for a rental car during all of this. This vehicle needs to be recalled!
I have a 2008 ford edge.we were over an hour away from home, on a sunday, when we stopped at a stop light and when i was taking off, the vehicle would rev but not go, then when it did engage, there was a hard thud twice.i was really afraid that we might not make it back home as well as making it through the intersection.we did make it home without further incident that day.i made an appt to take it to the dealership that i purchased it from on wednesday.there were no incidents until tuesday night when we were coming home from the grocery store.from a stop at a stop sign it did the same thing, but not a hard.the dealership was unable to pull any codes or get it to act up that first day.i asked them to keep it and to try once again.it did act up for the guy, but they couldn't figure out what was going on.they recommended that i take it to the ford dealership to see if they could figure it out.i took it in today and they called to tell me that they were unable to pull any codes or get it to act up.so now i am paying them $135 just to tell me the same thing the other dealership didn't charge me for.on top of that, i drive 45 miles round trip to work 5 days a week and am afraid of this happening on the busy interstate that i travel or happening at a busy intersection.i have read many statements by people and it seems they are having the same problems with the same results...nothing!ford needs to step up and make sure the people who buy their vehicles are happy and will return.i don't understand how the service people can't fix it without a code or even figure out what's going on. This is a scary thing and i don't have the money to pay people to tell me nothing!and then what happens when my warranty ends?!my biggest concern is safety.there are too many people writing about the same thing happening.
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"!
Several times now, my car will not accelerate.this has happened while going 40, 60, 70mph on the hwy.i have had to instantly put hazards on and try to pull over which isn't always easy during rush hour traffic.when this happens, i pull off, and then my car lurches forward and shifts gears and then can accelerate.this has also happened when i have been at a complete stop, and tried to accelerate.when you cannot move forward, or crawl at speeds under 5mph, but your rpms are reaching 7, there is something seriously wrong.i have taken it in a few times only to be told they cannot find or recreate the issues, so they send me on my way.it sounds as if many others are having the exact same issues.i am very nervous that my luck in pulling off out of harms way will run out.i have called my dealership to once again have it looked at but they cannot get me in for 10 days.... Should i even drive this car if it is not reliable??i truly am frightened to drive now, and this is my only car and am a single mother.not sure what i am supposed to do.i really hope that ford recalls this, as i have read that there are several lawsuits pending this exact issue.
The contact owns a 2008 ford edge.the contact stated that while driving at an unknown speed, the vehicle experienced a loss of acceleration and the odometer went blank as there was a sudden increase of engine rpms. The contact mentioned that the wrench light illuminated.the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic.the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired.the approximate failure mileage was 80,000.
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
My car was parked in a parking lot. I got in the car and started it. I pressed the accelerator to go and the car just started to roll, it would not accelerate. All of the sudden my airbag and wrench light came on and i had no speedometer or tachometer reading. Eventually as the car was rolling the accelerator would start to work. I got to a stop light and when the light turned green, again the car would just roll and then after a few feet the accelerator would start to work.i parked the car along a curb and shut the car off and started it again. As i shifted from park to reverse there was loud clunk. There was also a loud clunk when i shifted to neutral and to drive. The lights that had shown up on the dashboard were now gone and my speedometer and tachometer were showing again. I went to accelerate and the car drove fine. I took it to the shop and the mechanic said according to the "code" that showed up when they hooked it up to the machine,the problem appears to be the speed sensor.
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.
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
My wife and i were driving on the freeway, with the cruise control on. At random the care kicked out on cruise and the speedometer was not working, we also had tire pressure warning, engine service warning, air bag warning and no odometer.we made it to the freeway exist, however when we went to accelerate the car barely moved.the engine would rev at high rpm's but would just crawl.we made it to our house (barely) and parked the car.the shift into park was very violent and made the care jump.with my foot on the brake i would shift from p to n, then n to r, then r to d and same order back to park.each change was very violent.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.i have done some research online and this appear to be a very common issue for these vehicles.
On 07-23-2015 at 10:30 am est i was driving to work at the rate of 50 mph all of a sudden the vehicle stopped. The odometer/speed gauge stopped and the engine stalled. After consulting with ford and anothermechanic 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. It appears this is a know safety issue that ford has no plans to remedy even though it could lead to loss of life.

2008 ford edge has hard shifts (engine races like it's in neutral and then slams into gear with a loud bang) in two scenarios - from 1st to 2nd, while coasting in stop-and-go traffic, and when quickly accelerating, as in a passing maneuver, from around 35 mph. This results in unpredictable automobile performance.
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 lostpower. I drove back to the gas station and had it towed home.
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.
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 frequentlyi 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.
Takata recallsame story as many other posters here, just adding to the list. 2008 ford edge w/ 170,000. Speedometer quits working, low tire pressure light, wrench light, airbag light -- initially works as if in low gear (high rpm's and little speed), then quits accelerating all together -- loud thump when change between p / r / d.i was driving down the hwy at 60 mph. Had to stop and pull over and let the car sit before i could go again it took about 15mins before the car would go again.
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 toa 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.
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!
Driving and all the sudden car loses transmission capability.it shifts really hard and when at a stop have to rev the engine to get it to go at a crawl.all lights on dashboard light up - tool wrench - air bag disabled - odometer and speedometer stop working. Very dangerous in traffic!!!!
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.
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.
Speedometer and tachometer at random speeds quits working , low tire pressure light, wrench light, airbag light, check engine light. Constant loud clunking sound when changing gears. The car kicks back as if transmission is not engaging and has loss of acceleration and wheels roll and when red light turns green, the car takes time to accelerate and wheels start rolling and make a loud sound.i pull over the vehicle on the side of the road every time and turn it off, then turn the vehicle on again so it can go back to normal. Usually happens on both city streets or highway at a random speed between 45 mph and 60 mph. 114,000 miles. I have been having this issue since i bought the vehicle on feb, 2018 and took it to multiple mechanics and all of them claimed it's either a speed sensor issue/ transmission failure/ electrical system.
This has now happened to me twice with both my small children in the car while on the highway, at highway speeds. The 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.
Vehicleinitially 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. 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!!!!!
Vehicle unexpectedly and randomly displays odo data error on instrument panel, mileage and speedometer don't function, vehicle loses all power and does not accelerate. This resets itself after turning car off, removing key, then restarting car. When are you going to force ford to issue a recall, when someone dies? there are hundreds if not thousands with same complaints. Here's a sample...https://youtu.be/px3sc2ycmeo
Driving the interstate car seemed to kick out of gear and engine revved up..went in and out of gear.also after that car shifted very hard in 1st 3 gears..it worked fine for awhile and then did it again a few months later..after a few more episodes over a years time the transmission finally went out while my wife was in the middle of an intersection..luckily,it coasted enough to get off the road..i was able to get it home in 1st gear,but, wouldn't go into gear after a stop light..had to put in park and back into drive..had the transmission replaced and ok so far,but,something should be done about this..she could have been in a crash as it was a high speed intersection..
Pulled in parking lot,put transmission in park,and engine began to increase in rpm to 2500-2600,i noticed driving home it seemed as if the cruise control was engaged (it was not). Applying the brake gently (would not correct)if brake was applied very firmly,it would finally let the rpm drop back to normal,
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.
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. Vehicle was repaired.
After driving the vehicle for 20 minutes it began to slow down and the more gas (peddle pressure) we gave it the slower it continued. It felt as though it was chugging' along and 'sputtering'.
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.
The contact owns a 2008 ford edge. The contact stated the vehicle involuntarily surged on three occasions. The vehicle was involved in a crash after one of the failures. A police report was filed but no injuries were reported. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where they were unable to diagnose the failure. The vehicle was repaired for the body damage. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 10,000 and the current mileage was 38,000.
I have a 2008 ford edge purchased in 2011 6 months after purchase all of the lights came on in vehicle and the car was stalling. It would rev up but it was unable to pick up speed.i took it car dealership and they said they could not find problem. After the car sat for a while it started working fine. A couple of months later again the same problem we towed it to dealer and they said the same thing they could not detect the problem. This is continuing to happen. Again today dec 2013 while driving the car started revving and would not pick up speed.i really don't know what to do at this point.i will never purchase another ford again and would like to know what i could do about this issue. I have googled this issue and see that there are several people experiencing the same issue.
The contact owns a 2008 ford edge. The contact stated that while driving approximately 50 mph, an abnormal noise emitted from underneath the vehicle.the instrument panel displayed all warning lights as the vehicle power was reduced. The contact maneuvered to side of the road to a complete stop. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic but was not diagnosed or repaired.the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired.the approximate failure mileage was 91,000.
The contact owns a 2008 ford edge. The contact was driving approximately 15 mph and approaching a traffic stop when the brake pedal was depressed and the vehicle lunged forwardly in a jerking motion. The engine rpms began to increase rapidly to 3.5 which caused the vehicle to crash into another vehicle. A police report was filed. The contact stated that the bumpers would need to be replaced on both vehicles due to the impact during the rear end crash. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 66,000.updated 03/08/11updated 1/4/11
When first started up it some times turns off with no warning. Then a constant ticking sound then intermittently when reversing the car kicks back as if transmission is not engaging and hasloss of acceleration when merging onto freeway has hesitation and almost got into a wreck a driving rpm go up and down eraticly and acceleration is slugish. Brakes are constanly quelling and they dont need replaced i just bought this car 2months ago from used car lot bought extended warranty for 1800.00but does not take effectfor 90 days but might not be able to claim since this is a problem before coverage was in effect havent even made my first paynent i will have them for 2yrs car has 150008 miles.
The contact owns a 2008 ford edge. The contact stated that the input output speed shaft sensor stopped working and caused the engine not to shift properly. In addition, while on an incline, the vehicle jerked forward and/or stalled without warning. The vehicle was taken to a dealer to be repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was 100,000.
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.
Dangerous acceleration and dramatic deceleration between 20 - 40 mph with the 2008 ford edge.
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????
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!
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.
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?
Transmission seems to be a issue with the ford edge. Why has there not been a recall on this product? so many complaints on the ford edge transmission. I witness this first hand, may 2, 2014. While driving on the high way, my car out of know where seem to have lost power. The only thing that was moving was the rpm, but the car was slowing down. Finally after pulling to the side of the highway, and turning the car off, it reset some how and at least got me to work. I had to get the car towed from work back home because i did not want to run into the same issue. I did research and seems like i have not been the only one with this issue. Matter of fact there is a long list on you tube. What has ford done to correct this issue. Other than repeatedly taking income from hard working consumers, for a issue that has not been resolved.
Car will jerk,slip,beat and bang. Stopped pulling at a red light. Got towed home . Took off battery cable for 30mins . Started working again for awhile. Does this often,repair shops have no clue except for new tranny.it will also try to pull forward while in parkwhen you have the other problems also. It has done this while sitting still and while running 70 on the interstate.
Driving northbound on lake shore drive in chicago, illinois was accelerating on an incline and engine was racing but vehicle was losing power, made a popping noise, white smoke began billowing out of hood, lost all power was rolling to the nearest safety lane which was a turning lane just being opened by city workers when they said for me to get out of the car they saw flames coming out of the lower part of the engine.had it towed to ford dealer where mechanic stated there was a blown rod through the oil pan. The last oil change i had was 2/19/13 at 58,840 miles in car.
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 awayand car will go. This is a verydangeroussituation as have been on freeway when problem occurs.there should be recall on this ptoblem.
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.
The contact owns a 2008 ford edge. The contact stated that while turning right at unknown speeds, the vehicle independently accelerated. The contact was able to stop the vehicle by applying the brakes. The contact stated that the failure happened several times before. The vehicle had not been taken to the dealer. The failure mileage was 38,000 and the current mileage was 54,000.
While driving my 2008 ford edge it would not shift than a loud bang and slammed into gear ,went for a short time then would not shift lights came on dash board tech reved up no speedometer.
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.
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.
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.
The contact owns a 2008 ford edge. While driving 35 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was restarted and the check engine warning indicator illuminated. The contact mentioned that the accelerator pedal had to be depressed aggressively for the vehicle to move forward. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, but was not diagnosed nor repaired. The technician stated that the throttle body may have failed and may need to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 128,000. The vin was not available.
Gauges on dash stop working. Tool symbol shows up also tire pressure warning and exclamation mark. Carstarts to slow down. When car is put in reverse it makes a loud clucking noise. Like the motor is gonna fall out. Can't drive it forward but u can go in reverse.this has happened several times. If you let the car sit for a few days it goes back to normal. This has to be a serious problem because lots of people on youtube have posted videos of the same problem!now i'm stuck over 100 miles away from home. Not cool ford!!!!!
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.
The contact owns a 2008 ford edge. While driving 5 mph, the accelerator pedal was depressed, but the vehicle failed to accelerate without warning. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer (olathe ford lincoln, 1845 e. Santa fe street, olathe, ks 66062) and the software was updated. The cause of the failure was not determined. The failure recurred and the vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 78,000.
From time to timewhile driving wheather on aside 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.there is a period of normal operation for some time and then seems to spike in clusters of events.
My suv had odometer error. The the wrench.came on air bag.came one and would not.shift lost power pulled.over turned.car off then back on lights went off on dash but.it.was making.noise going.into.gear
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.
Vehicle lost all power while driving in traffic and steering locked when turning the corner at intersection causing loss of control of vehicle. This has happened on several occasions under random conditions. Weather conditions, vehicle temperature, speed, direction, braking or acceleration does not have any factors when this happens.the vehicle shuts off randomly and power is lost. No codes or warning of any kind. Ford factory has investigated, wiring harness to the mass airflow sensor has been replaced but still continues to have the same problem.
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.
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.
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.
Engine symbol on also wrench symbol lost acceleration pull over turn off put in rev heard loud clunk rpm high but not accelaration.
While driving down the highway the speedometer stopped and went to 0 mph, the odometer read dashes, the wrench illuminated in the corner, and the airbag warning sign appeared. The rpm's in my vehicle began to climb higher as well and the car speed began to decrease, again i was on the highway. I got off an exit about 1.5 miles from when i noticed the problem start. 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.
Pulling out of a parking lot turning right tried to accelerate significant amount of traffic behind me after turning and i couldn't go anywhere.pulled into the nearest parking lot approx. 50 feet or more piled into parkin spot.then sat for a couple inured wrench illuminated on dash board.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.thank god it didn't as i wouldn't be writing this letter.for the safety of others this should be considered a recall item.
The contact owns a 2008 ford edge. While driving 25 mph, the wrench icon and the air bag warning indicator illuminated. The accelerator pedal failed to work and the vehicle gradually came to a complete stop. The speed on the odometer and the tachometer was incorrect. The contact pulled the vehicle over to the side of the road, turned off, and turned on the vehicle. The vehicle was returned to normal. The failure recurred and the vehicle failed to restart. The vehicle automatically restarted and the speed automatically increased from 0 to 70 mph. The contact applied the brakes to reduce the speed. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 105,929.
The contact owns a 2008 ford edge. While driving approximately 45 mph, the odo data error message illuminated. Also, the wrench icon and tire pressure module failure indicators illuminated. The dealer was not called. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for diagnostic testing and error code: p0720 (speed control sensor) was located. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and referred the contact to nhtsa. The failure was not repaired. The failure mileage was 168,378.
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.some 2007 edge and mkx vehicles equipped with a 6f50 transaxle with a transaxle build date prior to 1/1/2007, with any output shaft speed (oss) sensor or turbine shaft speed (tss) sensor diagnostic trouble code(s) (dtcs) p0715, p0717, p0718, p0720, p0721, p0722 and/or harsh engagements, no upshift, fifth gear only, could have an intermittent short in the oss or tss sensor.ford knows about this flaw and common problem and there is a tsb, but no recall.this is the problem that is causing the symptoms in the video.
I was driving under normal conditions at about 35 mphwhen 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. Igot 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.
The contact owns a 2008 ford edge. While driving 25-30 mph, the accelerator pedal was depressed; however, the vehicle failed to respond. The contact stated that the check engine warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the a single ignition coil failed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The dealer was not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 109,235.
As i was driving, dash flashed "odo data error", then wrench light came on followed by airbag, tpm, engine light, basically all warning lights, odometer went to zero, loss of accelaration, pulled over and placed in park, car was revving high, turned car off and restarted, same, put on drive, stepped on gas, car revved but no movement. Turned car off and waited couple minutes, restated, warning lights disappeared, odometer back to actual mileage. Put on drive, step on gas, hesitation then loud transmission thump and car started moving again.
Was on state highway when the odo data error code came on and wrench light lost power, rpm worked semis behind me was scared i couldnt get over withought getting hit. Finally got pulled over went to put car in park got out checked tranny fluid was fine. Got back in shifted in reverse hard shift felt like tranny fell out same in drive no power. Turned car off let set a few min and back on lights went off went to take off shifted a little eaiser littler power taking off and a hard shift as car finally shifted and gained speed. Then car seems fine. Went to drive it a couple hours later seems fine but shifted hard a couple times like it was going to do it again so came back home. I read online alot about this problem i have a toddler and this could of been a bad situation losing power like that in a busy state highway. Had my brother hook car up to computer cant pull any codes as it reseted so i dont know what to look for as to fix this problem.
My transmission is being replaced at 96,400 miles.i've been having intermittent problems where it would clunk when shifting to the next gear. I've paid hundreds of dollars between 2 ford dealerships and 2 automotive repair shops just to try to figure out what the issue is. But last week as i started my 30 mile drive home, my car stopped shifting. Now i'm paying roughly $5,000 to get a transmission in my car. On top of paying$200 for a rental car during all of this. This vehicle needs to be recalled!
It happened when i came off the highway onto the side road, there was a loud clunk in the rear of the vehicle and i lost power to drive, and when i pressed the gas it would only go 30 miles of speed.i went into a parking lot, turned the motor off and let it sit for 10 min. I restarted it and it seemed fine.but now on a regular basis it will clunk in the rear like i have been hit and then clear up and drive good.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.or find out what is really happening to this vehicle and have them all recalled to fix the problem.
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.
12/13/15 the first time the odo error light came on, it triggered other lights such as tire sensor, airbag deployed to come on after the odo error went away. Odometer didn't work. Turned car off,car would clunk heavily when switching gears.took to dealer they switched out cable harness and battery.problem went away. 1/18/16 odo error light came on along with same o other lights as before, no odometer.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.
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.
The contact owns a 2008 ford edge. The contact stated as he was driving coming to a stop behind another vehicle, the accelerator pedal raced very high and he crashed into the back of another vehicle. The right side of his vehicle was badly damaged but no one was injured. The police came and a report was filed. The vehicle was towed to the body shop and it will be towed to the dealer after it is repaired. The manufacturer had not been called. The failure mileage was 54,000.
The contact owns a 2008 ford edge. While driving approximately 5 mph, the vehicle suddenly stalled. The failure occurred intermittently at various speeds. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer, where the technicians replaced the accelerator pedal sensor. After the repairs were performed, the vehicle continued to stall and would not restart. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic, where the mechanic stated the fuel pump and fuel tank needed to be replaced because the fuel pump melted a hole into the fuel tank, which could have caused a fire. The fuel pump and fuel tank were replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 40,000.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 ishut 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
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!!!!
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. It is not the consumers fault for poor manufacturing of a vehicle that was advertised so great! they should be fixing this issue before someone gets hurt or killed in an accident.
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.
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.
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.
Here is the link to an exact detailed explanation.when i lost power my car rolled into the middle of the intersection and was hit.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldwpafpvu0o3.
The contact owns a 2008 ford edge. The contact stated that the rubber around the rear windows was melting. The dealer informed the contact that it was not their responsibility to repair the failure. The vehicle was not repaired and the manufacturer was not notified. The vin was unavailable. The approximate failure mileage was 43,000.
While driving down the road, my sunroof completely shattered.today was very hot approximately 110 f.upon inspection of the sunroof, there were no striking marks.the event was so fast and loud, some debris blew back onto following vehicles creating a hazard. At this time, the vehicle is at the dealership for assessment.the vehicle is a 2007 ford edge with less than 9000 miles.
My family and i were driving down the freeway when the panoramic moonroof on my 2008 ford edge shattered. We were not near an underpass or close to another vehicle. It does not appear to have been caused by any foreign object. We heard a loud pop, which my husband thought was a gun shot. He felt the shade and could feel pieces of glass weighing the shade down. He pulled over to inspect the roof. The entire glass was shattered, but sticking together for the most part. The edges were crumbling as were parts throughout in the center. As we drove home more pieces of glass started crumbling off. Fortunately the shade was closed at the time or the pieces of glass would have landed on my husband while driving and on my infant son and me in the back seat. We were also fortunate that it was not raining at that moment (although it did later that evening). The dealership had closed for the weekend, so i waited until first thing monday morning and took the car in. I have the standard bumper-to-bumper warranty, an extended warranty and a maintenance package on the vehicle. However, ford claims that the roof is not covered by any of those because it is glass. I find it highly unusual that the glass used for a roof would not be made of durable glass similar to a windshield, given the likelihood of a rock hitting it or falling hail. Had the shade been open or had the weather conditions been bad, the situation could have been worse. I have also learned that several sunroofs on the ford escape have had issues with shattering without provocation as well. My dealership offered to pay a portion of the $1300 replacement cost given that ford refused to cover any of the costs and given its desire to maintain good customer relations. However, ford has yet to be able to locate or manufacture a replacement glass (approximately two and a half weeks after the incident).
The windshield is set at such an angle that the dashboard is reflected on to it. It's distracting, and annoying. I get around the issue by wearing sunglasses. I don't usually need them otherwise.
Driving home from work on hwy 99 i heard a loud pop (sounded like a gunshot) and heard the sound of glass.i pulled off the freeway and discovered my sunroof had completely exploded.i was alone on the road and was nowhere near an overpass where something could have fallen on it.it was a cold day and the heater was on so there was a temperature difference.i drove the car to ford after calling my insurance company.i was told today that there was no "structural defect" so ford was not responsible for the replacement.it is 1300 dollars for a new sunroof, 10 days before christmas.after doing some research online i found my car was not the only one to have had this happen.had the cover not been closed, shards of glass would have rained down on me as well as my son in the backseat. We could have been seriously injured either from the glass or an accident.this needs to be looked into and soon before someone gets seriously hurt or loses their life.
Enclosed are a description and the other information about the ford edge you requested. This is a part of what was sent to the ford motor company after the sunroof claim was denied on the basis that they feel something from the outside hit the sunroof.on july 24, 2008 at about 8:00 pm, my brother in laws was driving my car on interstate 75 just north of bowling green, ohio. He was driving 60-65 mph with the windows up, air conditioner on, and the sunroof closed. As he was driving, he reports a sudden explosion in the car, like he was shot. He and the passenger had small shards of broken glass rain down on them. They managed to safely pull the car to the brim of the highway without any further problems. Upon examining the sunroof, they observed a hole the size of a small dinner plate in the center of the roof and all four corners missing. The glass in the middle and corners of the sunroof had the appearance ?like a volcano? out of the car. Both the driver and the passenger reported that there were no overpasses or carsaround them to kick up any object that could have hit the roof. The glass from the hole was not in the car.i feel this claim has been denied unjustly and that the ford motor company and planet ford of centerville are closing their eyes to an issue that should be investigated thoroughly by someone in person instead of sending ?digital pictures? to someone at corporate to make a decision. After all, this is a safety issue that could have been fatal, leaving ford with a much bigger problem than just replacing a faulty sunroof.sincerely,2008 ford edge limited

On saturday, november 16th.between the hours of 5pm and 7pm, while driving, we were heard a "popping" noise from the front of the car.we also noticed the windshield cracking and thought the noise was from the window cracking.when we arrived home, the car was in the garage sitting and we heard the car "pop" again.the same thing happened sunday while going to church and home.monday morning on the 19th, my wife parked in the school parking lot to attend a school meeting and when she came out, the hood was up and the front was popped up.we took it to the local ford dealer and they indicated that the strut tower failed. The mechanic indicated i would not be able to drive it because it was a safety risk.they were surprised that my wife was able to drive and glad that it did not totally fail.it was indicated that the metal on the frame of the strut tower fatigued and it caused the strut tower to pop up.i have pictures if anyone would like it.the vehicle mileage at the time of incident is an estimate.it may be a little less.
Wheel issue: ford edge, all years (2007-8-9) twenty inch chrome clad . These wheels have low profile tires. Avoiding a stop sign runner we swerved and brushed the curb. These wheels have a plastic cover that can not be removed. There is no way to inspect the cast wheel behind the cover. Although only minor impact, the plastic cover was damaged by the curb. Replacing the wheel may cost $800.00 or more . Repeated incidents over the years could cause wheel failure. These wheels should be recalled to avoid problems in the future.
I am having an issue with my wheel bearing and there is a recall 270760 and my vin # was not on the list.my car was running perfectly fine and then when i got new tires, they told me that my wheel bearings were weak.in the beginning, before i got my tires, the car started vibrating and grinding.when i took it to the auto repair to look at it, they told me that it may be the tires, which i did needed to replace.so i did.the sound did not go away.finally, they did more checking and told me about the recall and that i needed to take to the ford dealership to get it fixed.i called the ford dealership and they refused to do the work.jerry's ford in alexandria, little river turnpike.
When i start driving i hear a roaring sound coming from the rear of the car and it gets louder the faster i go.it also is louder when making a left hand corner and less when making a right hand corner. I have not taken it into the dealer yet but am planning within the next week.i thought at first it was my tires but i just purchased new ones about 2 months ago and it did not stop the problem.

I have a 2008 ford edge that i bought in may of 2013. I have been hearing loud growling noises from the rear wheels in the past month (oct 2014) also the steering seemed to be effected by the problem. Took it to my mechanic and he found both rear wheel bearing are shot at 62000 miles. They need to be replaced of course because the car is not safe to drive.after hearing this i looked up other complaints from other ford edge owners.this is not an isolated incident and most of the failures have occurred around the 55000 - 64000 miles.ford knows there is a problem and is doing nothing about this dangerous condition.shame on ford!so it is costing me $1200.00 and some change which i cannot afford, to fix my car. There should be a recall, i am lucky that this didn't happen when i was driving with my children and a wheel fell off doing 65 on the highway.
1. Rear wheel bearings hub assembly , failures.. Right failed at nearly 58k miles. Of course after warranty !left failed at nearly 73kmiles. Howling sound being produced. It is costing lot of money to replace these parts.not good.i have never had a car in the last 40 years where the wheel bearing assemblies have failed.defective partsford is aware of this problem, since they have issued atech ser.. Bulletin on 2/5/10.here is an excerpt:drivetrain - growl/howl from rear hub areatsb 10-2-902/15/10noise from rear wheel hub bearing - built on or before 12/4/2008ford: 2007-2009 edgelincoln: 2007-2009 mkxthis article supersedes tsb 09-26-5 to update the parts list.issuesome 2007-2009 edge and mkx vehicles built on or before 12/4/2008 may exhibit a growl or howl type noise coming from the left and/or right rear wheel area. This could be the result of a faulty rear wheel hub bearing assembly.actionfollow the service procedure steps to correct the condition.service procedure1. If workshop manual (wsm) diagnostics identify a faulty rear wheel hub bearing, it will be necessary to replace the rear suspension trailing arm/knuckle assembly along with a new rear wheel hub assembly.2. Refer to wsm, section 204-02, for rear wheel hub bearing and trailing arm/knuckle replacement. Only replace the rear suspension trailing arm/knuckle assembly and rear bearing hub on the side with the concern. Failing to install a new rear suspension trailing arm/knuckle assembly when installing a new rear bearing hub assembly will result in premature bearing noise/wear. Ford needs to be responsive, on defective parts.i contacted them , 11/14 when the right failed, and their response was:sorry , you are out of warranty. They should have issued a recall in 2010.when we were not out of warranty.potentially, wheels can freeze up.
About 3 months ago the drivers side front door ajar light was staying on and would not go away even the door was closed.we have been all kinds of other problems related to this problem such as door chimes going off randomly all the time the dome lights will not turn off when car is parked and shut off. The noise and lights are a major distraction.the other problem we have experienced with the vehicle but have had fixed is the two rear wheel bearings have been replaced.the first when the vehicle had only 36,000 plus or minus a thousand or two and the other when we only had 60,000 miles on vehicle.this is expensive and should not go bad in that short of time.we do not pull anything with the vehicle or drive it rough.
Events leading up to failure: was driving car at a very slow rate of speed (less than 5 mph) making a right hand turn into a commercial shopping center.failure: upon making turn, i heard a "pop" noise. After trying to accelerate the vehicle, it would not move. I got out of the car and noticed that the wheel had become detached from the axle and was only attached to the vehicle by the strut. Bearings had fallen out of the related components and the wheel was at approximately a 60% angle with the pavement (other wheel was fine and was perpendicular to pavement). Correction of failure: towing truck responded and the vehicle is currently being serviced under the manufacturers warranty. Initial report from the service team is that it is most likely manufacturer defect. I have been told that all parts related in accident will be replaced or refurbished to maintain 100% working order.
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.
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.
During a uturn the rear passenger wheel felt like it would fall off.the right rear toe link broke at the weld.
While driving my 2008 ford edge, a roaring type noise comes from the rear of the unit. As you accelerate to noise grows in volume. At first it appeared to me as "road noise" i changed pressures in the tires and rotated the front to the rear. Nothing changes. After researching the problem, it appears that it is the rear wheel bearings. According to ford the bearing hub and the rear suspension trailing arm/knuckle assembly must also be changed on the affected side. The trailing arm causes to much pressure on the bearings and wipes them out. Also the wheels have to be re-aligned due to the installation of the new trailing arm. Ford states that just changing only the bearing hub will cause the problem to happen again. If the bearing fails this could cause a serious accident with the potential of serious injury or worse to the occupants of this vehicle and anyone else as a result of this failure.this appears to be a possible problem with the design of the suspension system and not normal wear and tear. I purchased this vehicle used in late november 2012. As i drove it longer the noise in the rear has gotten louder and louder.
Rear wheel bearing failure, have to replace bearing and trailing arm.
Had been noticing loud roaring sound from right rear of vehicle. Drove from ohio to florida (1,000 miles) & got worse/louder... Took it to local ford mechanic who informed known issue in these cars is the rear wheel hub assembly fails, once replaced just fails again. Noise is incredibly noticeable and not just annoying but scary to me & any passengers. Obviously a manufacturer's defect, ticked ford's not covering it.
