HEAVY GAS FUMES PERMEATING GARAGE, HOUSE AND CAR. FOUND THAT GAS TANK IS SEVERELY RUSTED, OR "ROTTED" AS THE DEALER SAID, IN SEVERAL PLACES. $2100 TO FIX. CAR IS ONLY 7 YEARS OLD! NOT EVEN DUE FOR A TUNE UP YET. THERE ARE OVER 200 COMPLAINTS ON YOUR SITE OF OTHER CUSTOMERS WITH SAME ISSUE. FORD SAYS THEY CAN DO NOTHING BUT "DOCUMENT IT." DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO BE DRIVING ON A SUPER-HIGHWAY AND HAVE THE TANK FALL OFF THE CAR AND GET KILLED OR HAVE THEIR HOUSE EXPLODE BEFORE FORD DOES SOMETHING ABOUT IT?! PLEASE ADVISE. THANK YOU. *TR

HEARD A HISSING NOISE WHILE STOPPED. AT MY NEXT STOP, BRAKES BECAME HARD TO PRESS DOWN. CONTINUED TO HAVE DIFFICULTY WITH BRAKES STOPPING BECAUSE THEY WERE HARD TO PRESS. HUSBAND REPLACED BRAKE BOOSTER AND THIS FIXED THE PROBLEM. *TR

GAS TANK IS FAILING. TANK LEAKS DUE TO SEVER RUST, AND ALONG SEAMS OF TANK. ALSO LEADS TO A STRONG ODOR OF GAS INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF VEHICLE. THIS IS THE VEHICLE WE USE TO TRANSPORT OUR CHILDREN. I'VE. NOTICED FUEL ON THE FLOOR OF MY GARAGE, BIG PUDDLE. VERY UNSAFE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH AND SLOWING DOWN, THE CAR SUDDENLY JERKED FORWARD LIKE SOMEONE REAR ENDED ME. PARKED THE CAR AND TESTED NEXT DAY, SAME RESULT. MADE APPOINTMENT WITH LOCAL FORD SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THEY PULLED CODES P0720 AND P0722 AND FOLLOWED TSB 07-21-11. DID NOT FIX PROBLEM. REPLACED OUTPUT SPEED SENSOR AND TURBINE SPEED SENSOR. PROBLEM STILL EXISTS AFTER BILL OF $1145.31 AND NOW CAR WILL ONLY DRIVE IN 1ST AND 2ND GEAR SO IT IS ALMOST USELESS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT FUEL WAS LEAKING FROM THE FUEL TANK DUE TO RUST. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE RUST WAS DUE TO CORROSION OF THE FUEL TANK. THE FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 86,000.

WIFE FILLED HER 2007 FORD EDGE WITH GAS FOR A TRIP WE WERE TAKING THE FOLLOWING DAY BROUGHT VEHICLE HOME SMELL STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE NOTICED GAS TANK IS LEAKING COME TO FIND OUT THIS IS HAPPENING TO A LOT OF THE SAME VEHICLES AND FORD REFUSES TO RECALL AND FIX DEFINITE PROBLEM WITH THESE GAS TANKS CONSUMERS SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR REPLACEMENT

WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10-15 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED REPEATEDLY WITH A DELAYED RESPONSE. THE MALFUNCTIONED RECURRED WHENEVER THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS ENGAGED. HARD TO PUSH ON THE PEDAL AND VERY FIRM. STOP CAR AND RESTART IT'S OK UNTIL YOU DRIVE AND STOP AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER CYLINDER WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECT.

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

FUEL TANK LEAKING GAS LAYING IN SHIELD PAN UNDER CAR AND THEN OVER FLOWING ONTO GARAGE FLOOR TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP AND HAD TO HAVE THE WHOLE TANK REPLACED !! ONLY 62000 MILES ON CAR AND 7 YEARS OLD GARAGE KEPT THIS SHOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED VERY EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE THE TANK!!!! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL RATTLED AND SANK DOWN TO THE FLOORBOARD.

SUDDENLY SMELLED GAS WHEN PARKED IN MY GARAGE. TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC WHO SAID THE TOP OF THE GAS TANK IS CORRODED AND THE WHOLE TANK NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I NOW SEE ON FORUMS THAT THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ON THIS CAR, SAME YEAR, SAME PROBLEM AND THAT FORD DENIES IT BEING A DEFECT. NO CAR SHOULD HAVE CORROSION ON THE GAS TANK AFTER JUST 7 YEARS!! FORD NEEDS TO STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT AND OFFER REPLACEMENT TANKS FOR THIS VERY DANGEROUS DEFECT. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW TO MOVE FORWARD TO FIGHT FORD FOR REIMBURSEMENT OF THIS HEFTY REPAIR EXPENSE. *TR

UPON REPLACING A BURNED OUT TAIL LITE I NOTICED THE SOCKET WHICH HOLDS THE BULB WAS MELTED. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON BOTH SIDES OF TAIL LITES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT NOTICED A FUEL LEAK ON THE GROUND NEAR THE REAR DRIVER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE ODOR OF FUEL COULD BE DETECTED, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE FUEL TANK WAS FULL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000.

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

BOTH REAR BRAKE LIGHT SOCKETS HAVE BURNED AND CHARRED. PLASTIC IS MELTED. BULBS BURN OUT REPEATEDLY. FOUND OTHER COMPLAINTS ONLINE AND FOUND THE BEST SOLUTION WAS A CERTAIN BULB THAT HAD MORE GLASS AT THE BASE AND IT WAS RATED FOR A HIGHER VOLTAGE. THAT COMPANY HAS NOW DISCONTINUED THAT BULB AS OF JUNE 2014 SO NOW I AM UNSURE IF IT WILL EVENTUALLY CATCH ON FIRE. I NOTICED THE PROBLEM SEVERAL YEARS AGO. THE BULBS BURN OUT A COUPLE OF TIMES A YEAR WITH THE REGULAR STORE BOUGHT BULBS. AGAIN, SOCKET AND END OF BULBS THAT COME IN CONTACT WITH THE SOCKET ARE VERY CHARRED AND MELTED. *JS

TAIL LIGHT PLUGS ON BOTH SIDES WERE BURNED/ MELTED NEEDS REPLACED. *TR

WAS DRIVING AT 45 MPH WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY OVERHEATED AND IN A MATTER OF SECONDS IT CRACKED THE BLOCK. THE DEALERSHIP IT WAS TOWED TO COULDN'T EVEN TELL ME HOW SOMETHING LIKE THAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED. THIS CAR HAS BEEN WELL TAKEN CARE OF. NEEDLESS TO SAY...I HAD TO BUY A WHOLE NEW ENGINE FOR IT. I DON'T THINK THIS WAS ANYTHING THAT I DID THAT MADE THIS HAPPEN. HONESTLY I THINK IT IS SOMETHING FORD SHOULD REALLY LOOK AT IF THE SERVICE MECHANICS AT A FORD DEALERSHIP CAN'T EVEN TELL ME HOW IT HAPPENED. *TR

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A LEAK IN THE FUEL TANK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 88,000.

WEVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR APPROXIMATELY 2 YEARS. THE OTHER DAY WE NOTICED A STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE AROUND THE CAR. UPON CHECKING WE NOTICED THE FUEL TANK LEAKING FROM AROUND A SEEM. WHEN I STARTED CHECKING AROUND FOR A REPLACEMENT TANK I NOTICED A RECALL ON 2008 FORD EDGE. MY CAR WAS BUILT IN AUGUST OF 07. THEY DESCRIBED THE SAME PROBLEM CAUSED BY CONTAMINATION NEAR A DIMPLE AT A SEEM. THE SAME TANK IS ON THE 07, 08 AND 09 EDGE. WHEN I CHECKED WITH FORD THEY SAID MY CAR WASN'T UNDER RECALL. I BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE BECAUSE OF THE SAME TANKS ON THE 07, 08 AND 09 MODELS PLUS ITS A SAFETY HAZZARD AS I CANNOT DRIVE THE CAR AND THE COST TO FIX IT IS OVER $2,000.00. FORD SHOULD BE MADE TO RECALL ALL MODELS FROM 07 ON AND CORRECT THIS PROBLEM AT NO COST TO THE CONSUMER BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. I BELIEVE FORD KNOWS ABOUT THIS AND IS INTENTIONALLY NOT RECALLING THESE MODELS BECAUSE OF THE COST INVOLVED. I HAVE OWNED VEHICLES ALL MY LIFE (I'M 62) AND HAVE NEVER HAD A BAD GAS TANK ON ANY OTHER VEHICLE I'VE OWNED. THIS IS A DEFECT THAT IS A SAFETY HAZZARD TO THE PUBLIC AND NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED! *JS

TOOK CAR IN TO CHECK BRAKES 10/29/13 TECH SAYS HE COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM. DROVE 45 MILES BACK HOME AND NO BRAKES. DROVE BACK VERY SLOWLY TYHE SAME DAY. TECH SAYS "OH YOU NEED A NEW MASTER CYLINDER AND BOOSTER". COSTS $873. ON JULY 3RD THE BRAKES FAILIED AGAIN. ALMOST RAN INTO A HOUSE WITH NO BRAKES. HAD THE CAR TWOWED. THEY SEEM TO CANNOT FIND A PROBLEM CAR HAS BEEN WITH AUTO NATION FORD UNION CITY, GA 3 DAYS NOW WITH NO END IN SITE. WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE ADVISOR THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE MASTER CYLINDERS. I COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING. HE ALSO TOLD ME THAT A RECALL MAY HAVE BEEN ACTIVE WHEN I PAID FOR THE REPAIR AT THE SAME DEALERSHIP IN OCTOBER 2013. *JS

BOUGHT THE CAR USED FROM A FORD DEALER WITH 46,138 MILES AND PURCHASED AN EXTEND WARRANTY 07/17/2010 IN DEC 2010 NOTICED A SMELL FROM CAR , TOOK IT TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP, HE PRINTED ME OUT THE FORD TSB 09-25-7 THAT IDENTIFIED THE PROBLEM WITH THE RIGHT HAND INT SHAFT LEAK ON THE POWER TRANSFER UNIT (PTU) I TOOK TO A LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP, THEY CONFIRMED THE PROBLEM AND FIXED, UNDER THE ORIGINAL CAR WARRANTY.(55,799 MILES) IN AUG 2012 NOTICED THE SAME SMELL, WENT AN OTHER FORD DEALERSHIP(9-12-12), SAME PROBLEM WITH PTU SEALS, AND NOT COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. PAID APPROXIMATELY $800 TO REPAIR. IN MAY 2014 SAME SMELL AGAIN, TOOK BACK TO THE DEALER WHO DID THE LAST REPAIR (6-27-14), PTU AGAIN, EXCEPT THIS TIME IT NEEDED SEALS PLUS A NEW PTU OVER $1,400 TO REPAIR. THE SMELL COMES FROM THE FLUID DRIPPING ONTO THE EXHAUST, NOT SURE HOW TOXIC OR FLAMMABLE IT IS BUT I KNOW IT CAN'T BE GOOD FOR YOU. THIS IS NOT CAUSED BY MISS USE OF THE CAR OR LACK OF MAINTENANCE. IT IS FORD POOR DESIGN, AND I REALIZE MISTAKES HAPPEN, BUT STAND BEHIND YOUR PRODUCT. *TR

PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND EXPERIENCED VERY HARSH SHIFTING. THE TRANSMISSION SHUTTERED AND SHOOK, ALMOST REFUSING TO GO THROUGH THE INTERSECTION. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED REPEATEDLY WITH A DELAYED RESPONSE. THE MALFUNCTIONED RECURRED WHENEVER THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS ENGAGED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER CYLINDER WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

I CANT PUT IN THE PART OF THE FORD EDGE 2007 WHERE IT SAYS AFFECTED PART THE PART THAT WAS AFFECTED WAS THE GAS TANK I HAVE PICTURES TO SHOW HOW IT RUSTED EVERYTIME I WOULD FILL THE TANK THE SMELL OF GAS WAS BAD THIS WENT ON FOR ABOUT 1 MONTH FINDING OUT THAT THERE WAS A LEAK AND CHECKING ON THE WEB SITE THERE WERE SEVERAL OTHERS WHO HAD THE SAME ISSUE THIS WAS A DANGEROUS SITUATION WITH PEOPLE SMOKING AND THROWING OUT THEIR BUTTS ONE SPARK AND I AND MY DAUGHTER WOULD NOT BE HERE TODAY IM HOPING THAT U WILL DO A RECALL ON THIS CAR. *TR

MY VEHICLE ALL OF A SUDDEN STARTED TO SLOW DOWN SUDDENLY LIKE I HAD TAKEN MY FOOT OFF THE GAS. IT STARTED SHUDDERING AND MY TRANSMISSION LIGHT CAME ON. I THOUGHT IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION SO I HAD IT TOWED TO THE SHOP. AFTER DIAGNOSIS, IT SHOWED MY CYLINDERS WERE MISFIRING. IT WAS DUE TO A BAD COIL WHICH WAS CAUSING THE SPARK PLUGS TO READ AT AN EXTREMELY HIGH VOLTAGE. THEY NEEDED TO REPLACE ALL COILS AND ALL SPARK PLUGS. THEN FOUND OUT THAT IT FRIED MY PCM(COMPUTER) WHICH ALSO HAD TO BE REPLACED. COME TO FIND OUT, THIS IS A KNOW ISSUE WITH THE 2007 FORD EDGE AND THERE IS A TSB ON IT FOR THIS EXACT SITUATION. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT THE PCM HAD A MALFUNCTION WHICH CAUSED THE COILS/SPARK PLUGS TO GO BAD. THEY ALSO SAID THE PCM HAS A MANUFACTURER 8 YEAR/80,000 MILE WARRANTY. WELL I WAS AT 7 YEARS/83000 MILES AND WHEN THEY SUBMITTED THE WARRANTY CLAIM, FORD DENIED IT FORCING ME TO PAY $2400 FOR THE REPAIRS. I THINK THIS IS RIDICULOUS TO DENY A KNOWN MALFUNCTION FOR ONLY 3000 MILES OVER. WHAT IF I HAD BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY CAME TO A STOP? I HAD MY SON WITH ME THAT DAY AND THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT, POSSIBLY INVOLVING OTHER DRIVERS, AND WE MAY HAVE EVEN BEEN INJURED. AND FORD DOESN'T FEEL RESPONSIBLE TO HELP WITH THE COST OF THIS REPAIR?? *TR

PURCHASED A 2007 FORD EDGE ROUGHLY ABOUT A YEAR AGO, HAVE HAD NO PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE. IT WAS MY DREAM CAR SINCE I WAS 18, BEING 24 AND FINALLY HAVING ONE WAS A DREAM COME TRUE. I STARTED EXPERIENCING A WHINING NOISE UPON DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD ONE DAY. I PROCEEDED TO PULL OVER THINKING IT WAS A BELT. IT WASN'T SO I CONTINUED TO GO DOWN THE ROAD. BRINGING IT TO MY MECHANIC HE TOLD ME ITS THE TRANSFER CASE WITHIN THE CAR ITSELF. I TRIED CALLING FORD BECAUSE OF THIS COMMON DEFECT TO HAVE IT REPLACED. THEY WOULD NOT ASSIST IN THE REPLACEMENT OF THEIR MISTAKE. I NOW OWE $1500. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH, SHE ATTEMPTED TO DECELERATE BUT THE PEDAL FAILED TO ENGAGE.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 105,000.

SINCE FEB 2014, MY 2007 FORD EDGE SEEMED TO BE WANTING TO STALL WHEN I WAS DRIVING AND/OR TRYING TO ACCELERATE. I DIDN'T THINK ANYTHING OF IT AS IT WASN'T A 24/7 ISSUE BUT IT DID HAPPEN REGULARLY. YESTERDAY EVERYTHING CHANGED. I WENT TO TURN MY CAR ON YESTERDAY AND IT DIDN'T TURN ON RIGHT AWAY. IT WAS "TRYING" TO START AND THEN IT WOULD SHUT DOWN. I WOULD TRY TO START IT AGAIN AND ONCE AGAIN, IT WAS "TRYING" TO START AND EVENTUALLY DID. I WAS DRIVING HOME ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN I BEGAN TO NOTICE THAT I WASN'T ABLE TO ACCELERATE AND I WAS GOING SLOWER AND SLOWER SO I MANAGED TO PULL OVER TO THE BREAK DOWN LANE AND THEN THE CAR JUST SHUT OFF. ONCE AGAIN, IT DIDN'T TURN ON THE FIRST TIME I TRIED BUT THEN IT DID THE SECOND TIME BUT RELUCTANTLY. THE LIGHTS WERE DIM ON MY DASHBOARD WHICH HADN'T HAPPENED BEFORE. I MANAGED TO GET HOME VERY SLOWLY. I SHUT MY CAR OFF AT HOME AND TRIED TO TURN IT ON AND AGAIN IT WAS STRUGGLING TO TURN ON. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER TODAY AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE THROTTLE BODY HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE SERVICE TECH WENT ON TO EXPLAIN THAT HE HAS SEEN THIS ISSUE ESPECIALLY IN THE YEAR AND MODEL THAT I HAVE. I HAVE GOOGLED THIS ISSUE ONLINE AND SEE THAT THE NHTSA HAD BEEN LOOKING INTO THIS SAME ISSUE/COMPLAINTS BUT WITH A LATER YEAR AS WELL AS WELL AS OTHER MODELS. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THIS WASN'T A RECALL AS THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A DANGEROUS SCENARIO. I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THIS OCCURRED AND THANKFULLY NOT WITH MY CHILDREN. I SEE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ONLINE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, FUEL FUMES WERE EMITTED INTO THE VEHICLE. LATER, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT FUEL LEAKED ONTO THE GARAGE FLOOR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL TANK SUFFERED FROM RUST AND CORROSION AROUND SEVERAL OF THE SEAMS. AS A RESULT, THE FUEL TANK NEEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 47,000.

I WAS GOING TO WORK.MY CAR THEN JERKED AND STOPPED. I ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED BECAUSE IT JUST LOST POWER. I WAS TOLD THE TRANSMISSION WAS BAD ..I WENT TO THE DEALER AND THEY WILL ONLY HELP IF I PAY 4500 DOLLARS, I DID NOT GET THE WARRANTY ,,I ONLY HAD THE CAR LESS THEN 2 MONTHS, NOW THE CAR HAS TO SIT AND I LOST MY JOB. I RED REVIEWS AND ALL REVIEWS SAID THEY HAD TRANSMISSION REPLACED.FYI I WAS NOT OFFERED A WARENTY. THIS CAR SHOULD HAVE A RECALL.I WILL HAVE TO GET A LAWYER AND SEE IF THIS MATTER CAN GET RESOLVED. *TR

I NOTICED WHEN I GET TO ABOUT 40 MILES PER HOUR MY CAR DOESN'T WANT TO SHIFT INTO NEXT GEAR. TOOK TO A FORD DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD IT WAS PTU VALVE. COST TO FIX IS 1350.00. *TR

PTU UNIT DEVELOPED A LEAK, WAS NEARLY EMPTY OF OIL BY THE TIME THE DEALER COULD REPAIR. DEALER SAYS PTU NEEDS TO BE REPLACED FOR ~$1600. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN EXTREMELY COMMON PROBLEM. THIS SHOULD BE REPAIRED UNDER RECALL. *TR

2007 FORD EDGE HAS BEEN SHIFTING GEARS HEAVY (ESPECIALLY LOW) AND GETTING WORSE. LAST WEEK IT SHOULD HAVE DOWN SHIFTED TO 2ND BUT INSTEAD UP SHIFTED TO LIKE 4 OR 5TH GEAR AND I LOST ANY REAL POWER TO GET UP THE HILL. THE NOISE ITSELF WAS A VERY NOTICEABLE BANG AND SHUDDER. THIS IS APPARENTLY HAPPENING TO OTHER BECAUSE THERE'S YOUTUBE VIDEOS OF THE EXACT SAME THING. *TR

I WAS TRAVELING ON 95 NORTH IN S. CAROLINA WHEN MY CAR JERKED AND EVERYONE LURCHED FORWARD IN THE VEHICLE AS IF WE HAD TRAVELED OVER A SPEED BUMP OR SOMETHING LARGE IN THE ROAD. IT WAS MID DAY AND NOTHING WAS IN THE ROAD. WE CONTINUED TRAVELING AND ABOUT 30 MILES IT HAPPENED AGAIN AND WE REALIZED IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION. WE WERE FORTUNATE TO MAKE IT HOME AND TOOK IT TO OUR MECHANIC. HE SAW NO VISUAL SIGNS OF TROUBLE SUCH AS LEAKAGE, WARNING LIGHTS OR CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS EVEN DURING THE TEST DRIVE SO HE DID AN INTERNET SEARCH AND FOUND THAT FORD SUGGEST RUNNING TRANSMISSION FLUID THROUGH, DRAINING AND REPEATING. HE DID THIS. WE HAD TO TRAVEL OUT OF STATE AGAIN THE NEXT MONTH AND THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED ON THE HIGHWAY. I'M SO CONCERNED FOR MY FAMILY AND I'M NOW READING ON THE INTERNET THAT THIS IS NOT JUST A RANDOM ISSUE AND PEOPLE ARE PLEADING FOR A SAFETY RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE IS HURT OR KILLED DUE TO THE MULTIPLE TRANSMISSION ISSUES THAT ARE AFFECTING SO MANY OF THESE VEHICLES. WE NEED HELP, WHAT DOES IT HAVE TO TAKE? *TR

WENT FROM REVERSE TO FORWARD, ACTED LIKE THERE WERE NO LOWER GEARS. WAS ABLE TO LIMP HOME ABOUT 1 MILE. PUT IT INTO REVERSE, LOUD BANG, SHOOK ENTIRE CAR, BACKED INTO CAR PORT, SHUTOFF CAR, THEN NO RESTART. MASSIVE AMOUNT OF OBD CODES, HAD MECHANIC REMOVE TRANSMISSION, TORQUE CONVERTER FAILURE AND THRUST BEARING DESTROYED, I FEEL VERY LUCKY THAT TRANSMISSION DIDN'T FAIL ON HIGHWAY CAUSING ME TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT ON MY WAY TO WORK AS A CHILDRENS SWIM INSTRUCTOR. *TR

TAIL LIGHT BLINKERS ARE MELTING INTO THE SOCKETS. I HAVE TO REPLACE THE BULBS ONCE A YEAR BECAUSE THEY BLOW, I WAS ALSO TOLD BY A MECHANIC THAT THE REASON MY SPEAKER BLEW ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE CAR WAS DO TO EXTRA ELECTRICAL POWER. *TR

THE FUEL TANK SEEMS TO BE LEAKING AT THE SEAM. FUEL IS DRIPPING TO THE GROUND. ON LINE THERE ARE SEVERAL PEOPLE THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. I HAVE NEVER HAD THE PROBLEM WITH CARS 3 TIMES THE AGE. COULD THIS PLEASE BE LOOKED IN TO. *TR

THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WILL NOT TURN OFF. THE DOOR AJAR INDICATOR REMAINS ON EVEN THOUGH THE DOORS HAVE BEEN FIRMLY CLOSED CAUSING THE INTERIOR LIGHTS TO REMAIN ON. AT FIRST I WAS ABLE TO SLAM THE DOOR SHUT UNTIL IT WOULD TRIGGER THE LIGHTS TO TURN OFF. THEN, I HAD TO USE WD-40 AND AFTER 3 DAYS OF DOING THIS EVERY TIME I ENTERED OR EXITED THE VEHICLE, THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WOULD REMAIN ON. MOST RECENTLY, MY CAR BATTERY DIED BECAUSE OF THE INTERIOR LIGHTS NEVER TURNING OFF. I SLAMMED MY DOOR SHUT FOR OVER AN HOUR TRYING TO GET THE LIGHTS TO TURN OFF AND NOTHING WORKED. MY BATTERY HAS DIED 3 TIMES NOW DUE TO THE INTERIOR LIGHTS NOT SHUTTING OFF EVEN THOUGH ALL THE DOORS WERE FIRMLY SHUT. ONCE WAS AT WORK, I DIDN'T HAVE THE TIME TO KEEP SLAMMING MY DOOR FOR IT TO TURN OFF. FINALLY I TOOK IT TO A FORD DEALERSHIP WHO TOLD ME IT WOULD COST APPROX. $400 TO FIX THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEM AND THE FORD EDGES ARE KNOWN TO HAVE THIS DEFECT. THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM AND AFTER RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM ONLINE IT APPEARS TO HAPPEN QUITE FREQUENTLY WITH THIS VEHICLE. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED AND NOT AT THE OWNER'S EXPENSE! *TR

THE REAR QUARTER PANELS ON BOTH SIDES HAVE RUSTED THROUGH AND NEED TO BE FIXED. *TR

I BOUGHT THIS 2007 FORD EDGE NEW AND IT HAS BEEN KEPT IN A GARAGE THE ENTIRE TIME I HAVE OWNED IT. I NOTICED A SMELL OF GASOLINE WHILE IT WAS IN THE GARAGE AND TOOK IT TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT. WE FOUND A 2 INCH RUSTED HOLE IN THE TOP OF THE GAS TANK. FORD CLAIMS NO OTHER SIMILAR PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN REPORTED AND HAS REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. ALTHOUGH I HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS FORUMS FROM PEOPLE THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A MANUFACTURE DEFECT AND A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD. *TR

WHILE DRIVING DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND FELT A LOT OF RESISTANCE WITHOUT MUCH BRAKING. AFTER A SECOND OR THREE THE PEDAL STARTED TO PLUNGE TO THE FLOOR APPLYING THE BRAKES WITH GREAT FORCE. TOOK TO LOCAL DEALER WHERE THEY REPLACED THE MASTER BRAKE BOOSTER. THIS WAS AT 61000 AND WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. JUST TODAY APRIL 15, 2014 IT HAPPENED AGAIN. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND RECEIVED THE SAME PROGNOSIS, THE MASTER BRAKE BOOSTER IS BAD. THE CAR CURRENTLY HAS 120000 ON IT, KIND OF ODD THAT IT WAS NEARLY THE SAME DURATION FOR THE SECOND ONE TO GO BAD. THIS TIME THE COST IS NEARLY DOUBLE THAT OF LAST TIME. THIS IS ULTIMATELY A VERY DANGEROUS DEFECT AS IT QUICKLY HAPPENS AND YOU MAY NOT STOP IN TIME TO AVOID COLLISION. *TT

DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS THE VEHICLE WILL SHIFT VERY HARD, FEELS LIKE SOMEONE REAR ENDING ME. THE TRANSMISSION FEELS LIKE IT HAS A HARD TIME GETTING INTO GEAR. AT HIGH SPEEDS THE SAME THING HAPPENS BUT USUALLY ON HOT DAYS. THE TRANSMISSION FINALLY GAVE OUT AT 75000 DUE TO THE HARD SLAMMING AND HAD TO BE REBUILT. I WAS LEAVING A DRIVEWAY AND WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE, PUTTING ME AT RISK OF BEING HIT FROM BEHIND. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN DISASTROUS AT HIGH SPEEDS. AT 78000 MILES I AM STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM, I TURN THE VEHICLE ON THE TRANSMISSION SLAMS INTO R AND THEN I CANNOT ACCELERATE PAST 10 MPH. I TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTART IT, AND IT SEEMS LIKE NOTHING EVERY HAPPENED. THIS HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS COME ONE ONLY EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE IT IS HAPPENING. WORRIED ABOUT ME AND MY BABIES SAFETY WHILE DRIVING. *TR
