FUEL TANK HAS A HOLE RIGHT ABOVE THE HALF WAY MARK. FUMES ARE SO STRONG - IT GIVES ME HEADACHES AND LEAKS ALL OVER THE GROUND. *TR

FUEL LEAKING FROM GAS TANK ON MY AWD 2007 FORD EDGE. STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE FUMES COMING FROM THE CAR. GOT IT CHECKED OUT, AND THE GAS TANK IS LEAKING WHERE THE TOP HALF OF THE TANK IS WELDED TO THE BOTTOM HALF OF THE TANK. SERVICE CENTER SAID TO KEEP THE TANK LESS THAN HALF FULL TO MINIMIZE GAS LEAKING FROM THE TANK. THE STRONG FUMES STILL CAUSE AN EXTREME HAZARD TO MY FAMILY. NO REPLACEMENT GAS TANK IS AVAILABLE IN THE ENTIRE UNITED STATES. NOW THIS CAR SITS MOTIONLESS IN MY DRIVEWAY. *TR

DROVE TO PANAMA CITY, FL. FOR VACATION AND PARKED IN APT. GARAGE. WENT TO MY BROTHERS APT. AND WITHIN AN HOUR, THE PARKING ATTENDANT KNOCKED ON THE DOOR AND SAID THAT OUR CAR HAD THE FOG LAMPS ON. TRIED TO TURN THEM OFF AND COULDN'T. HAD TO REMOVE THE FUSE. HAD IT CHECKED OUT AND NOTHING COULD BE FOUND TO CAUSE THIS PROBLEM. FUSE IS STILL REMOVED AND CANNOT USE THE FOG LIGHTS. SINCE THIS INCIDENT, THE TURN SIGNALS FLASH EXTREMELY FAST.PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT CAN BE DONE TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM.THANKS. *TR

MY GAS TANK HAS STARTED LEAKING. MY MECHANIC HAS TOLD ME IT WILL PROBABLY TAKE 2 MONTHS BEFORE A REPLACEMENT TANK WILL BE AVAILABLE. *TR

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT FUEL FUMES EMITTED INTO THE VEHICLE REFUELING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL TANK WAS RUSTED, CAUSING THE FUEL TO LEAK ON THE EXHAUST. AS A RESULT, THE FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BUT THE PART NEEDED TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

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

GAS TANK IS RUSTING OUT ON TOP OF TANK AND ON SEAM. CONTACTED FORD AND WAS TOLD TO REPLACE TANK AT A COST OF 2800.00 DOLLARS JUST FOR TANK. I THINK THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE EXHAUST IS RIGHT BELOW THE TANK. HOW CAN A VEHICLE THAT IS 7 YEARS OLD BE RUSTING OUT A GAS TANK. I THINK FORD HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE I CAN'T EVEN LOCATE A USED TANK TO REPLACE IT WITH. HOW CAN THEY JUSTIFY A NEW TANK AT 2800.00. THEY SHOULD HAVE RECALLED TO REPLACE THESE TANKS, 07,08,09 AND SOME 2010 FORD EDGES ARE AFFECTED WITH THIS PROBLEM AND NOT JUST A COUPLE BUT PRACTICALLY EVERYONE SOLD! I REALLY LIKE MY EDGE BUT IF THEY WON'T STAND BEHIND THEIR VEHICLE OVER A SAFETY ISSUE THIS WILL BE THE LAST FORD I OWN. THANKS! *TR

NOTICED A GAS SMELL. FOUND A LEAKING GAS TANK WITH A PUDDLE UNDER MY CAR. *TR

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

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

I HAVE AN 2007 FORD EDGE, FILLED THE TANK, THE NEXT DAY SMELLED A FUEL ODOR, 1 WEEK LATER SEEN THAT THERE IS A GAS LEAK. TOOK THE CAR TO A MECHANIC, STATED THE SEAMS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE TANK ARE RUSTED. HAVE NOT CONTACTED MAUNFACTURE & NOT REPAIRED. THERE ARE ALOT OF GAS TANK COMPLAINTS, NOT TOO SURE WHY THIS YEAR HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED. THIS IS A FIRE RISK. A 7 YEAR OLD CAR SHOULD NOT HAVE A FUEL TANK ISSUE. *TR

I BEGAN TO SMELL A STRONG GAS SMELL, THEN I SAW DROPS OF GAS ON MY DRIVEWAY. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY DEALERSHIP. THEY INFORMED ME THE FUEL TANK WAS RUSTED WITH A HOLE, THUS THE LEAK. THE REPAIR WAS VERY COSTLY, I ASKED THEM TO PURSUE A USED FUEL TANK. AFTER RESEARCHING EXTENSIVELY, THE DEALER AND I FOUND THAT ALL OF THE USED FUEL TANKS ALSO HAVE HOLES AND ARE RUSTED. THE DEALER WENT FORWARD WITH REQUESTING A NEW FUEL TANK, ONLY TO FIND THAT FORD HAS THEM ON BACKORDER WITH AN ETA OF NEVER. THE DEALERSHIP REP CALLED FORD TO FIND THEY ARE NO LONGER MAKING THE FUEL TANK, THERE IS NO SUPPLIER FOR THE FUEL TANK. I AM LEFT WITH A CAR THAT CANNOT BE REPAIRED PROPERLY. THE FORD RELATIONSHIP CENTER HAS BEEN NO HELP. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. FORD HAS TURNED A BLIND EYE. CONSUMERS NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THIS POTENTIALLY DEADLY DEFECT. *TR

I PUT A SET TIRES ON MY VEHICLE LAST WEEK AND WAS TOLD MY GAS TANK WAS LEAKING. I TOOK IT TO A FORD DEALERSHIP TO GET ESTIMATE ON REPAIR. THEY ALSO STATED THE TANK WAS LEAKING. THE ENTIRE TANK WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED TO THE TUNE OF $2,200.00 ROUGHLY. THE IRONIC THING HERE THE FUEL TANK IS ON A NATIONAL BACKORDER AND HAVE NO IDEA WHEN THIS PROBLEM CAN BE FIXED!!!! THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL, SOMEBODY NEEDS TO WAKE UP HERE!!!! ARE WE GOING TO WAIT FOR AN ACCIDENT HERE WHERE SOMEONE IS KILLED BEFORE FORD FIXES THIS PROBLEM!!!! *TR

FUEL TANK LEAKING. NOTICED A STRONG FUEL ODOR WHEN I FILLED THE TANK. DID SOME RESEARCH AND THERE ARE OVER A HUNDRED COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS. LEAK IS COMING FROM THE TOP SEAL OR SEAM. THERE MUST BE A PROBLEM BECAUSE FORD HAS A BACK ORDER ON THE TANK WHEN I TRIED TO GET IT FIXED THEY DID NOT KNOW WHEN THEY COULD GET ONE IN.I DO THINK A RECALL IS IN ORDER. *TR

WILL BE DRIVING ALONG AT ANY SPEED AND CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE, IT DOES NOT STALL BUT WRENCH LIGHT COMES ON AND YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING UNTIL YOU SHUT OFF THE CAR AND RESTART IT. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES AND HASN'T CAUSED AN ACCIDENT YET, BUT MOST CERTAINLY WILL EVENTUALLY. THIS PROBLEM IS WELL KNOWN, BUT IS PHRASED AS STALLING WHEN IT TRULY DOESN'T STALL, ACCELERATOR JUST DOESN'T WORK AND CAR SLOWS DOWN QUICKLY IN TRAFFIC. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE CONTACT SMELLED FUEL. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE FUEL TANK WAS FRACTURED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 116,000.

I DETECTED A FAINT ODOR OF GASOLINE. A WEEK LATER AFTER VEHICLE WAS SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY OVERNIGHT THERE WAS AN OVERWHELMING ODOR OF GAS AROUND THE VEHICLE. OUR MECHANIC FOUND A LEAKING FUEL TANK, RUSTED AT THE SEAM, DRIPPING ON TO THE EXHAUST. VEHICLE IS NOT DRIVABLE. AS OF THIS TIME THE LOCAL FORD DEALER CANNOT EVEN GIVE AN ESTIMATE WHEN A REPLACEMENT TANK MIGHT BE AVAILABLE AND USED TANKS ARE APPARENTLY DIFFICULT TO FIND. *TR

STRONG FUEL SMELL COMING FROM REAR OF VEHICLE. FUEL IS LEAKING SLIGHTLY AT SEAM AND HAS STRONG VAPOR SMELLS. HASN'T BEEN OVERFILLED. I CAN NOT PARK THE VEHICLE IN THE GARAGE ANYMORE DUE TO THE DANGER OF THE VAPORS. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR KILLED. TO MANY PEOPLE HAVE ALREADY COMPLAINED ON THIS ISSUE, SO WHY HAS A RECALL NOT BEEN ISSUED? *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON A STATE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 55MPH THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO RUN VERY ROUGH, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR STALLED. I PULLED OVER AND RESTARTED THE CAR. IT STARTED, RAN VERY ROUGHLY AND HAD ALMOST NO POWER. I WAS IN TOWN SO I DROVE TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER PULLED A ERROR CODES INDICATING A FAILED POWER CONTROL MODULE WHICH LED TO THE FAILURE OF THREE OF THE SIX COIL ON PISTONS. THIS IS AN IDENTIFIED PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL YEAR WITH A TSB IN PLACE. FORD WAS COVERING THE COST OF FAILURES FOR VEHICLES UNDER 80,000 MILES. MY VEHICLE, WITH 97,000 MILES DID NOT QUALIFY. FORD SHOULD RECALL THESE UNITS. IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND COULD LEAD TO ENGINE SHUTDOWN AT HIGHWAY SPEED. IT COST $2,097 FOR REPAIR. TO BE FAIR, THE PRICE INCLUDED REPLACING THE SPARK PLUGS SINCE THEY WERE COMING DUE SO THE TRUE COST OF THE REPAIR WAS ABOUT $1,950. THE PCM WAS A BAD DESIGN PRONE TO FAILURE AND FORD SHOULD ATTEMPT TO MAKE IT RIGHT WITH CUSTOMERS. I CALLED THE FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTER AND THEY OFFERED NO RELIEF, EXCEPT TO DOCUMENT BY DISPLEASURE. *TR

BURNT REAR TAILIGHT SOCKETS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT FUEL FUMES WERE PRESENT IN AND AROUND THE VEHICLE. AFTER INSPECTING THE VEHICLE, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THERE WAS A FUEL LEAKAGE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000. UPDATED 11/12/14*LJ

THE SMELL OF GASOLINE VAPORS WERE DETECTED WHEN EVER THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN THE GARAGE. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE FORD DEALER SHIP AND IT WAS DETERMINED BY A FORD TECHNICIAN THAT THE FUEL TANK IS LEAKING. THE FUEL TANK IS A TWO PIECE STEEL DESIGN THAT IS WELDED TOGETHER AT THE SEEM. THE WELDED JOINT IS CORRODING AND CAUSED THE LEAKING. THE VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN IN A ACCIDENT NOR HAS THE FUEL TANK HAD ANY MAINTENANCE CONDUCTED ON IT. THIS FUEL TANK WAS AN OEM PART AND INSTALLED BY THE OEM ONLY. FORD HAS INDICATED THEY DO NOT HAVE ANY REPLACEMENT PARTS AVAILABLE, AND DO NOT HAVE A SUPPLIER TO MANUFACTURE REPLACEMENT FUEL TANKS. UPDATED 11/05/14

LEAKING FUEL TANK. ADVISED BY TECHNICIAN NOT TO PARK INSIDE ENCLOSED GARAGE DUE TO FIRE HAZARD. FORD MOTOR COMPANY IS AWARE OF LEAKING FUEL TANKS ON THESE MODEL VEHICLES AND IS NOT ASSISTING OWNERS IN REPAIRS OR REPLACEMENT. REPLACEMENT COST $2,018 AND TANKS ARE ON BACK ORDER. FORD ALLOWING HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS FOR VEHICLE OWNERS. *TR

SMELLING GAS FUMES. LOOKED UNDERNEATH AND GAS WAS LEAKING FROM FUEL TANK. *TR

I AM THE OWNER OF A 2007 FORD EDGE SE. WE RECENTLY SMELLED GAS COMING FROM THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO A FORD DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE PROBLEM DIAGNOSED. THE FORD DEALERSHIP EXPLAINED THAT THERE WAS A HOLE IN THE GAS TANK DUE TO CORROSION AND WOULD NEED A NEW GAS TANK AND FUEL PUMP THAT WOULD COST APPROXIMATELY $1,800 TO $2,500 TO FIX. THE DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO COMPLETE THE WORK WITHOUT PAYMENT SINCE NO RECALL HAS BEEN GIVEN FOR THE 2007 EDGE. WE WERE LEFT WITH THE OPTIONS OF PAYING FOR A NEW GAS TANK AND FUEL PUMP OR CALLING FORD TO COMPLAIN. ANOTHER MECHANIC EXPLAINED TO US THAT THE GAS TANK IS A DESIGN DEFAULT BY FORD AND NO DAMAGE WAS DONE TO THE TANK BY US. *TR

I NOTICE A STRONG GAS SMELL. THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THE SEAM OF THE TANK IS LEAKING. I HAVE OWNED MULTIPLE (OVER 20) FORDS THOUGH OUT THE YEARS AND I HAVE NEVER HAD A TANK RUST OUT IN 7 YEARS. THE REPAIR COST IS OUTRAGEOUS IF YOU CAN FIND A TANK (RIGHT NOW I CAN NOT FIND A TANK FOR UNDER $2000). IT LOOKS LIKE I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON HAVING THIS PROBLEM. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ITEM. *TR

WHILE TRAVELING AT A SPEED OF 60 MPH DOWN THE HIGHWAY, I LOST ALL POWER TO MY EDGE. THE SPEEDOMETER WENT TO 0, MILEAGE BLANKED OUT, AND I HAD THE AIR BAG, WRENCH & LOW TIRE PRESSURE LIGHTS CAME ON. WHEN YOU WOULD GO FROM PARK TO REVERSE OR FROM PARK TO DRIVE, THERE WOULD BE A BIG CLUNKING NOISE AND NO ACCELERATION. WHEN THIS FIRST HAPPENED YOU COULD TURN THE CAR OFF AND IT WOULD RESET AFTER A FEW MINUTES. NOW YOU HAVE TO UNHOOKED THE BATTERY CABLES AND REPLACE THEM, BUT THIS ONLY LASTS FOR A WHILE. IT IS NOT A FIX. THIS IS STILL HAPPENING TO THIS DAY. NO ONE WE HAVE CONTACTED CAN TELL US THE PROBLEM. PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE JERKED AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE, THERE WAS A STRONG GASOLINE FUEL ODOR PRESENT. THE CONTACT DISCOVERED THAT THERE WAS FUEL LEAKING FROM THE FUEL TANK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 61,972.

I NOTICED A SMELL OF GAS FOR TWO DAYS AFTER COMPLETELY FILLING MY GAS TANK THE LAST TIME. IT LASTED FOR 3 DAYS BEFORE I DECIDED TO TAKE IT IN TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT. I WAS THEN TOLD I HAVE TWO HOLES IN THE TOP OF MY GAS TANK AND IT WOULD BE AROUND $1800 TO BE REPLACED. ALTHOUGH, THAT ISN'T AN OPTION AT THE MOMENT BECAUSE THE REPLACEMENT TANKS ARE ON BACK ORDER SINCE THIS ISSUE IS OCCURRING SO FREQUENTLY AND THEY HAVE NO SPECIFIC DATE OF WHEN ONE WILL BE AVAILABLE. NOW I AM NERVOUS TO DRIVE MY CAR DUE TO CONCERN OF FIRE, BUT AM FACED WITH THE UNCERTAINTY OF HOW LONG I WILL BE WAITING UNTIL A GAS TANK BECOMES AVAILABLE. *TR

SMELLED GAS IN GARAGE. CHECKED LEAKING. PULLED OUT ON DRIVE . SAW LEAKING AGAIN. TOOK TO MECHANIC AND HE VERIFIED THE SEAM ON THE TANK HAD A LEAK. TOLD NOT TO SET IN GARAGE OR DRIVE UNTIL FIXED. DANGEROUS. *TR

VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AFTER STOPPING AT BUSY INTERSECTION. AFTER SHIFTING FROM PARK TO DRIVE IT BEGIN TO MOVE AT SLOW SPEED. VER DANGEROUS DUE TO AMOUNT TRAFFIC.REPLACED TURBINE SHAFT SPEED SENSOR AND OUTPUT SHAFT SPEED SENSOR BY FORD DEALER. *TR

CAR IS SKIPPING OR JERKING WHEN GOING UP HILLS. HAPPENS MULTIPLE TIMES WHEN CAR IS MOVING UP HILLS. MOST LIKELY TRANSMISSION PROBLEM OR SENSOR PROBLEM. *TR

MY 16 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING TO SCHOOL. SHE WAS IN A 45 MILE PER HOUR ZONE. A CAR PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF HER SO SHE LET OFF OF THE GAS. WHEN SHE PUSHED ON THE GAS AGAIN HER CAR WOULD NOT GO. THE RPMS WENT WAY UP BUT THE CAR WOULDN'T GO. THE WRENCH (CHECK ENGINE LIGHT) CAME ON. SHE WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. SHE TURNED THE CAR OFF AND IT MADE ONE LOUD POP/PUFF NOISE. ONCE SHE TURNED THE CAR BACK ON IT WAS FINE. THIS HAS SINCE HAPPENED THREE MORE TIMES. WHEN I LOOKED ON THE INTERNET IT APPEARS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE FORD EDGE. THIS IS A HUGE CONCERN TO ME. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM AS THERE COULD BE SERIOUS ACCIDENTS AS A RESULT OF FORD'S NEGLIGENCE. THEY KNOW IT IS A PROBLEM, MAKE THEM FIX IT BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURED OR KILLED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT FUEL WAS LEAKING FROM THE SEAMS OF THE TANK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 108,000.

I WAS SMELLING FUEL EVERYTIME I WALKED AROUND MY CAR. I HAD MY BOYFRIEND LOOK AT IT AND HE SAID THAT THE SEALS ON THE FUEL TANK ARE CORRODED AND THAT I WOULD NEED A NEW FUEL TANK. AFTER CALLING FORD, WHICH CHOOSES NOT TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS, IT IS GOING TO COST CLOSE TO $2,700 TO HAVE IT REPLACED. I DRIVE MY CHILDREN AROUND IN THIS VEHICLE. FORD REFUSES TO LIST THIS AS A RECALL. WHY??? MOST PEOPLE WHO DRIVE THIS TYPE OF CAR, HAS A FAMILY OR CHILDREN. IT IS VERY SCARY TO THINK THAT MY CAR COULD POSSIBLY CATCH ON FIRE, OR WORSE. *TR

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2007 FORD EDGE SEL AWD. I HAVE HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE UNTIL THIS PAST THURSDAY (09/11/2014) WHEN I PUT $40.00 WORTH OF GAS IN IT WHEN IT WAS CLOSE TO EMPTY. AFTER PUTTING IN $40.00 WORTH OF GAS, IT GAVE ME A APPROXIMATELY 3/4 TANK OF GAS. I THEN PARKED IT AT MY PLACE OF WORK (NO INCLINE OF ANY SORT) AND STARTED TO SMELL GAS. THE TANK IS LEAKING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE UNDERNEATH. AFTER WORK, I DROVE HOME (MAYBE 10 MILES) AND HAVE NOT EVEN MOVED THE VEHICLE UNTIL TODAY (09/13/2014) AND ONLY HAVE 1/4 TANK OF GAS LEFT. NOT ONLY IS IT LEAKING GAS BUT THE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE WREAKS. I HAVE A 2 MONTH OLD CHILD WHO I AM AFRAID TO TAKE IN THE VEHICLE NOW BECAUSE THE SMELL IS SO STRONG. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED AS I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON WHO HAS COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS SITUATION. I SEE THAT 2008 FORD EDGE MODELS HAVE BEEN RECALLED DUE TO THE SAME PROBLEM. I REFUSE TO SPEND CLOSE TO $2000.00 TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THANK YOU. *TR

ON JANUARY 16 2009 LEAK ON FRONT AXLE SEAL. FORD DEALER REPLACED PTU COVER AND INTERMEDIATE SHAFT SEAL. ON MAY 29, 2009 LEAK WAS DETECTED AGAIN FROM PTU UNIT. FORD REPLACED AGAIN! ON JUNE 9 2014 VEHICLE HAS LEAKS OF PTU AND REAR DIFFERENTIAL SEAL AGAIN. OUT OF WARRANTY! ESTIMATE COST TO REPAIR IS $1600. AFTER RESEARCH THE PTU IS A PROBLEM ON THE FORD EDGE 2007 AND 2008 MODELS. FORD WILL NOT ADMIT THERE IS A PROBLEM. *TR

FOR SEVERAL DAYS PRIOR TO AND AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK, THERE WAS A STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE WHILE DRIVING, WHILE PARKED IN GARAGE AND WHILE PARKED IN LOT. DEALERSHIP NOTED THAT THE GAS TANK HAD COMPLETELY RUSTED AND WAS LEAKING AT THE SEAM. (ALTHOUGH I DO LIVE IN A NORTHERN STATE, THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN GARAGED DURING WINTER, WASHED APPROPRIATELY, WELL TAKEN CARE OF AND ROUTINE MAINTENANCE). THE DEALERSHIP CUSTOMER SERVICE AND FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE WERE EXTREMELY POOR. FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE STATED THAT THERE IS NO RECALL, THEREFORE THEY WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT- THIS WILL NOT BE THE FIRST REVIEW THAT YOU WILL READ ABOUT THIS EXACT SAME ISSUE. AFTER DOING MORE RESEARCH, THE 2007-2009 MODELS HAVE THE SAME FUEL TANK AND THE 2008 MODEL HAS BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS ISSUE. A 7 YEAR OLD CAR SHOULD NOT HAVE TO HAVE THE GAS TANK REPLACED, ESPECIALLY WHEN THIS IS NOTED AT THE SEAM. THIS MANUFACTURER DEFECT IS A SAFETY LIABILITY THAT FORD DOES NOT WANT TO CLAIM AND REFUSES TO PUT THE SAFETY OF IT'S CUSTOMERS ABOVE THE FINANCIAL BURDEN THIS WOULD CAUSE THEM. THE FUMES ALONE ARE TOXIC AND IF THERE WAS ANY TYPE OF SPARK ON THE ROADWAY, THIS COULD RESULT IN A FIRE, ACCIDENTS AND DEATH. IT'S SAD THAT AN AMERICAN COMPANY HAS SUCH POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE AND POOR SAFETY STANDARDS. THIS WILL BE THE LAST FORD VEHICLE THAT I WILL OWN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE CONTINUOUSLY STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 99,000.

OIL LEAKING FROM PTU UNIT FORD WANTS $ 1600 TO FIX WHAT SEEMS TO BE A FAULTY (DEFECTIVE) SYSTEM IN FORD EDGES. *TR

THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO OVERHEAT RAPIDLY AND THE AIR CONDITIONING BEGAN TO PUT OUT HOT AIR. I PULLED THE VEHICLE OFF OF THE ROAD AND TURNED EVERYTHING OFF. UPON COOLING DOWN, WATER WAS ADDED TO THE RADIATOR AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE MECHANIC. THE PROBLEM WAS AN INTERNAL WATER PUMP. THE WATER PUMP COST $1900 TO HAVE REPLACED. I CONTACTED FORD AND THEY SAID THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING, IT IS THE DESIGN AND HOW YOU HAVE TO ACCESS THE WATER PUMP. I PRICED (3) DIFFERENT DEALERS ON THE REPAIR AND THEY WERE ALL WITHIN A FEW DOLLARS OF EACH OTHER. THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN RELIABLE. *TR

THE BRAKE BOOSTER FAILED AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION. I HAD THE BRAKE BOOSTER REPLACED AT 51K MILES. I NOW HAVE 85K MILES ON THE VEHICLE AND AS OF 9/5/14, THE BRAKE BOOSTER HAS FAILED AGAIN. I HAVE CONTACTED FORD AND THEY SAY THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. *TR

STARTED SMELLING GASOLINE EVERY TIME MY CAR WAS IN THE GARAGE. SEEMED TO HAPPEN RIGHT AFTER I FILLED UP. RESEARCHED INTERNET FOR "2007 FORD EDGE FUEL SMELL" AND FOUND SEVERAL COMPLAINTS AND WHAT LOOKS LIKE A VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR (OEM FUEL TANK AVERAGES $1700 PLUS LABOR). TOOK CAR TO DEALER AND FOUND OUT THE FUEL TANK WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT IT WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. REQUESTING A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. *TR

THE DOOR AJAR SENSOR IS MALFUNCTIONING. THE DOOR IS CLEARLY SHUT, BUT THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT SHOWS ON DASH BOARD ALONG WITH THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAYING ON. THE MAIN CONCERN IS WHEN THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT / SENSOR IS MALFUNCTIONING, THE DOOR WILL NOT AUTOMATICALLY LOCK. EVEN IF YOU PUSH THE DOOR LOCK BUTTON, THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE, BECAUSE CHILDREN CAN OPEN THE DOOR OR A STRANGER CAN HOP IN THE CAR. SUPPOSEDLY THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH A LOT OF FORD'S, AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED OR RECALLED. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE AND NOTICED IT JERKING AND HESITATING TO ACCELERATE. THE ENGINE LIGHT BECAME BLINKING RAPIDLY AND I NOTICED A BURNING SMELL. I TOOK MY CAR TO A SHOP, WHO STATED THAT ONE OF THE COILS HAD MELTED AND CRACKED. THEY REPLACED THE COILS AND ALL SPARK PLUGS. PICKED MY VEHICLE UP AND STILL HAD THE SAME ISSUES, CONSTANT JERKING, ENGINE LIGHT STILL ON, AND STILL NOT WANTING TO ACCELERATE. TOOK VEHICLE BACK THE FOLLOWING DAY, SHOP STATED THE PCM WAS BAD AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I THEN CONTACTED A LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP, WHO CLAIMED THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF THIS ISSUE, AND I WOULD NEED TO PAY FOR THEM TO RUN THEIR OWN DIAGNOSTICS ON IT, EVEN THOUGH I WAS WELL AWARE OF WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT. AS OF RIGHT NOW THE CAR IS STILL NOT FIXED, AND RUNS HORRIBLY. I REFUSE TO SPEND ANYMORE MONEY ON A PROBLEM THAT FORD IS WELL AWARE OF!!! *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON A LOCAL HIGHWAY WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON AND A MERGING TRUCK FORCED ME TO TAKE THE CAR OF CRUISE AND THE PEDAL WAS SO HARD I COULDN'T AT FIRST AND IM A 250 LB GUY WAS GLAD MY WIFE WAS NOT DRIVING. SINCE THEN IT HAS BECOME MUCH WORSE AND APPEARS THE BRAKE BOOSTER HAS FAILED. WITH VERY LITTLE RESEARCH THIS LOOKS LIKE AN ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL YEAR AND SEVERAL OTHERS. I TRAVEL HIGHWAY A LOT SO MY MILEAGE IS HIGHER THAN MOST OF THIS AGE AND MAY ALSO BE WHY IT DIDN'T SHOW EARLIER. THE BOOSTER LOSES PRESSURE FAST ENOUGH TO BE A REAL HAZARD TO DRIVE YOU HAVE TO STAND ON THE PEDAL TO GET YOUR BRAKES TO WORK. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR OFF THE ROAD TILL I CAN FIX IT CANT AFFORD FORDS REPAIR COSTS 580+ BUT SOME MAY TRY TO DRIVE IT AND THEY WILL GET IN AN ACCIDENT. *TR
