THERE ARE THREE MAIN ISSUES WITH MY 2007 FORD EDGE. FIRST THE BRAKES MAKE NOISES AND SOMETIMES WORK AND SOMETIMES DON'T. THE TIRES KEPT GOING FLAT. I HAVE REPLACED ALL 4 FOUR TIRES AND ONE FRONT AND ONE BACK TIRE TWICE NOW. THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS FREQUENTLY. *TR

WE OWN A 2007 EDGE SEL AND THE DRIVER'S SIDE BRAKE LIGHT CONSTANTLY BURNS OUT. THE BULB HAS BEEN REPLACED COUNTLESS TIMES AND THE SOCKET IS MELTED. I JUST WANTED TO SHARE THIS WITH EVERYONE. A CLICKING NOISE HAS ALSO DEVELOPED ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT WHEEL RECENTLY, HOWEVER WE HAVEN'T SEEN ANYTHING RELATED TO OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS. THE VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS VERY LOW MILES (24,000) AND THIS SEEMS ODD. I HOPE THIS INFORMATION HELPS OTHERS. *TR

OK, ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. I HAVE A 2007 FORD EDGE AND IT IS HAVING HARD ENGAGEMENT ISSUES WHEN SHIFTING GEARS. ALSO, A COUPLE OF TIMES I HAVE BEEN READY TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND IT'S AS IF MY CAR IS SITTING IN NEUTRAL. I HAVE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK, TURN IT OFF, START AND PUT BACK INTO DRIVE FOR IT TO START GOING AGAIN. VERY UNSAFE AND WORRIES ME DRIVING MY KIDS AROUND IN THE CAR WITH THESE PROBLEMS. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP ON A COUPLE OF OCCASIONS WITH THESE PROBLEMS AND WAS TOLD THAT THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST WAS NOT "THROWING A CODE" SO BASICALLY THERE IS NOT A FIX. THEY DO HOWEVER ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF THESE COMPLAINTS AND A DEFINITE ISSUE BUT THEY COULD DO NOTHING UNLESS A RECALL WAS DONE. IT'S GETTING WORSE AND THE OTHER DAY I TOOK SOMEWHERE ELSE AND WAS TOLD FORD HAS AN UPDATE NOW TO HELP SOME OF THE ISSUES PCM UPDATE TO THE COMPUTER. GUESS WHAT...IT DIDN'T HELP MINE AND THEY SAID I FOR SURE NOW HAVE SOME TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS DUE TO THE HARD SHIFTING PROBLEMS I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING. WELL, NO KIDDING! OK, WHEN YOU HAVE YOUR DEALERSHIPS TELLING YOU THEY KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM BUT THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT, THAT'S JUST CRAZY. WE NEED FOR THERE TO BE SOME AWARENESS AND ACTION TO THESE PROBLEMS. *TR

FORD EDGE WHEEL BEARINGS BROUGHT VEHICLE IN TO DAVID SELF FORD IN ORANGE, TEXAS DUE TO NOSE COMING FROM REAR OF VEHICLE IN NOVEMBER 2010 - WAS TOLD WHEEL BEARING WAS OUT, AND I HAD DAVID SELF FORD REPLACE FOR AROUND $500. NOW FEBRUARY 2012 THIS IS HAPPENING AGAIN AND NOW I'M BEING TOLD BOTH BEARINGS ARE OUT, AND OF COURSE WILL BE AROUND $1000 TO FIX. RESEARCHING THIS VIA GOOGLE, AND THERE IS A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT FORD EDGE WHEEL BEARINGS GOING OUT ON FORD EDGE MODELS BETWEEN 2007-2010 MAKES. TALKING WITH OTHERS THEY ARE SAYING IF THESE BEARINGS GO OUT COMPLETELY THIS WILL LOCK UP THE BACK WHEELS AND WILL STOP ROLLING COMPLETELY. TO ME THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE, HOWEVER REPORTING THIS TO FORD THEY ARE SAYING THERE IS NO RECALL AT THIS POINT. PLEASE LET ME KNOW SOME FEEDBACK ON THIS DUE TO FORD HAS REDESIGNED WHEEL BEARINGS, HOWEVER IS STATING THERE IS NO RECALL ON THESE, AND REPAIRS ARE PASTED OFF TO THE CUSTOMER (2ND TIME FOR ME AND OTHERS VIA GOOGLE)- I FEEL THIS IS A BAD DESIGN FROM FORD, AND RECALL NEEDS TO BE DONE. *TR

BOTH REAR BRAKE LIGHT SOCKETS ARE BURNT AND MELTED. THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED IN COMPLAINT NUMBERS 10439124, 10380902, 10372008, AND 10307462 AS WELL . A QUICK SEARCH ON THE INTERNET WILL REVEAL NUMEROUS OWNERS HAVE AND ARE EXPERIENCING THIS EXACT ISSUE. THE SOCKET THAT PLUGS INTO THE BRAKE LIGHT PIGTAIL (ON BOTH SIDES) IS BURNT AND ACTUALLY MELTED. THE DRIVERS SIDE HAS BEEN HOT ENOUGH TO MELT THE TAILLIGHT HOUSING ITSELF. AND THIS IS HAPPENING WITHOUT CAUSING A FUSE TO BLOW OR ANY TYPE OF WARNING THAT THERE IS A SERIOUS ELECTRICAL ISSUE. WITH THE RECALL ON THE 2012 REGARDING THE FUEL TANK ISSUE YOU MIGHT THINK SHORTING TAILLIGHTS IN THE SAME VICINITY WOULD BE A NASTY COMBINATION. *TR

THE FIRST TIME WAS ON JAN 14, 2012. THE SWITCH UNDER THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT OUT, LEFT ME STRANDED. NOW THE BRAKE BOOSTER IS BAD. WITH NO WARNING, THE BRAKES GOT ROCK HARD AND THEN GO TO THE FLOOR AFTER AWHILE WITH A WHISTLING NOISE. IT TAKES ALOT OF EFFORT TO STOP VEHICLE. I CAME EXTREMELY CLOSE TO CRASHING . I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE BOOSTER WAS BAD. . I AM VERY UNHAPPY THAT FORD DON'T SEE THIS AS A PROBLEM THAT SHOULD TO BE RECALLED. MY WIFE LOVES HER EDGE, BUT IM AFRAID THAT SOMETHING MAY HAPPEN TO MY WIFE AND 2 YEAR LITTLE GIRL WHILE DRIVING. *TR

OWN A 2007 EDGE SE , PURCHASED NEW ON AUGUST 2008. LAST YEAR I TOOK THE CAR TO DEALER FOR TRANSMISSION ISSUE AND THEY RECOMMEND TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AS A REGULAR MAINTENANCE, BUT JUST RECENTLY NOTICED THAT THE 4TH GEAR HAVE STRONG ENGAGE ISSUE."SHEEHY FORD" DEALERSHIP IN SPRINGFIELD VA IS NOT DOING ANYTHING TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. NOW MY WARRANTY EXPIRED AND THE DEALER WANTS TO CHARGE ME $150-200 TO DIAGNOSTIC THE PROBLEM. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 FORD EDGE. I HAVE HAD BRAKE PROBLEMS EVER SINCE I BOUGHT IT. BY BRAKE PROBLEMS, I MEAN THEY SOMETIMES GRIND AND SOMETIMES FEEL LIKE I CAN'T STOP AS WELL AS I SHOULD BE ABLE TO. I HAD THEM CHECKED SEVERAL TIMES AND WAS TOLD THEY WERE FINE. I FINALLY HAD THEM REPLACED BUT THEY STILL GRIND AT TIMES. I'VE LEARNED TO DEAL WITH THIS PROBLEM. I'VE ALSO EXPERIENCED A LOUD ROARING NOISE. I'M NOT SURE WHAT THIS IS BUT I'VE ALSO LEARNED TO DEAL WITH IT AS WELL. EVERYTIME SOMEONE RIDES WITH ME THEY ASK WHAT THE NOISE IS AND TELL ME IT SOUNDS LIKE MY CAR HAS NOT SHIFTED INTO THE RIGHT GEAR. THE MAJOR PROBLEM I HAVE DEALT WITH IS THE JERKING TRANSMISSION. IT STARTED THIS ABOUT A YEAR AFTER BUYING IT. IT STARTED DOING IT A FEW TIMES HERE AND THERE UNTIL IT GOT TO WHERE IT DID IT ALL THE TIME. I HAD MENTIONED IT WHEN I TOOK MY CAR TO GET THE OIL CHANGED BUT THEY ALWAYS TOLD ME THEY DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I FINALLY TOLD THEM THEY HAD TO DO SOMETHING. THEY KEPT IT FOR A FEW DAYS AND FINALLY CALLED AND SAID THE VALVE BODY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. LUCKILY IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THEY REPLACED IT AND IT WAS FINE UP UNTIL SEVERAL MONTHS AGO. IT STARTED THE JERKING ALL OVER AGAIN. IT STARTED OUT SLOW BUT NOW DOES IT ALL THE TIME. I CAN'T AFFORD TO HAVE IT FIXED AGAIN AS IT'S NOT UNDER WARRANTY ANY LONGER. IT'S STILL ONLY 4 YEARS OLD AND SHOULD NOT BE HAVING ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS. I AM REALLY SURPRISED THERE HAVE BEEN NO RECALLS AS I'VE READ OF OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROB

THE PTU IS COMPLETELY GONE AND BROKEN AND MUST BE REPLACED, COSTING $2,000 AT MY DEALER. I HAVE GONE ON-LINE AND SEE THAT OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH THIS MAKE AND YEAR. I FEEL THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. *TR

THE MIRRORS ON THE EDGE ARE PLACED SO THAT THEY CONTINUALLY BLOCK ,SIGNIFICANTLY, VISION ON EITHER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THEY ARE PLACED VERY HIGH AND ARE LARGE ENOUGH TO INTERFERE WITH LEFT AND RIGHT VISION. THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE SIGNIFICANT ENOUGH TO HAVE RESULTED IN A LOWERING ON THE FORD 150 TRUCKS WITH THE SAME HIGH MIRROR PROBLEM. *TR

I BEGAN TO HEAR A ROARING NOISE IN THE REAR WHILE DRIVING. THE DEALER SAID THAT IT WAS THE REAR HUB, BEARINGS , AND ATTACHMENT ARM AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED THAT IT COULD LEAD TO A WHEEL COMING OFF , A SAFETY ISSUE. I WAS TOLD FORD KNEW THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THESE PARTS AND IS REFERRED TO AS "OF CUSTOMER INTEREST" BUT WAS NOT A RECALL. IF FORD KNOWS OF THE DEFECTIVE PART WHY ARE THEY NOT ISSUING A RECALL? THIS REPAIR COST ME $800. MORE IMPORTANTLY IF THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE FORD SHOULD TELL ITS CUSTOMERS AND PAY FOR REPLACEMENT PARTS. *KB

THE BRAKES GROWL AND GRIND NO MATTER WHAT. I KEEP BEING TOLD BY FORD DEALERS THAT THIS IS JUST THE SOUND OF THE EDGE! I HAVE NEVER HEARD BRAKES LIKE THESE THAT DO NOT HAVE A PROBLEM BUT FORD FAILS TO ADMIT THERE IS A PROBLEM. IT TAKES FOREVER TO GET THE CAR TO STOP. I LOOKED IT UP ONLINE AND ALOT OF PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING OF THE SAME THING EVEN ON THE NEWER YEAR MODELS. *KB

NO WARNING, THE BRAKES GET ROCK HARD AND THEN GO TO THE FLOOR WITH A HORRIBLE WHISTLING NOISE. YOU MAY OR MAY NOT STOP. DON'T DO ANY SUDDEN STOPS YOU WILL CRASH. I AM VERY UNHAPPY THAT FORD DON'T SEE THIS AS A PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. LOVE THE CAR LOOKS AND RIDES, BUT WONT BUY ANOTHER DUE TO THE SAFETY ISSUES. *TR

2007 FORD EDGE WILL ROLL BACKWARD WHEN ON THE SLIGHTEST INCLINE WHILE VEHICLE IS IN DRIVE. THE VEHICLE WILL NOT STOP ROLLING UNTIL THE BRAKE IS DEPRESSED OR IT SETTLES ON FLAT GROUND. IT ALSO DOES THIS IN REVERSE AND YOU ARE POINTED DOWNHILL. I RECENTLY WAS PARKED IN A DOWNHILL POSITION, RELEASED THE PARK BRAKE, PLACED THE VEHICLE IN REVERSE AND HAD TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES TO STOP THE EDGE FROM SLAMMING INTO A CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THE EDGE STARTED TO QUICKLY GO DOWNHILL AND I HAD TO ACCELERATE QUICKLY TO GO IN REVERSE AND MISS THE OTHER VEHICLE. THIS PROBLEMS SEEMS TO GETTING WORSE AS THE MILEAGE BUILDS. I CURRENTLY HAVE 72,000 MILES ON THE EDGE. I TOOK THIS VEHICLE TO GREENWOOD FORD IN BOWLING GREEN, KY AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS NORMAL AND THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. THEIR SERVICE MANAGER TOOK ME FOR A DRIVE IN A 2010 EDGE AND IT DID THE SAME THING. I CALLED FORD CUSTOMER RELATIONS AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY HAD NEVER HEARD THIS COMPLAINT BEFORE. THIS IS A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED. *TR

I WAS STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN FACING SOUTH WITH A FRONT SEAT PASSENGER WHEN AN ON COMING VEHICLE TRAVELING SOUTH RAN THROUGH THE NORTHBOUND STOP SIGN AND CROSSED INTO THE SOUTHBOUND LANE STRIKING MY VEHICLE HEAD ON. AT THE TIME OF IMPACT NEITHER AIR BAG DEPLOYED.

I PURCHASED A 2007 FORD EDGE ONE MONTH AGO. THE CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 3 OUT OF 4 WEEKENDS.THE CAR WAS IN DRIVE AND WAS STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN AFTER TRYING TO TAKE OFF THE CAR WOULDN'T MOVE. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP IN MAITLAND AND WAS TOLD THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR. THE SAME THING HAPPENED 1 WEEK LATER AND I AM NOW BEING TOLD THAT IT IS AN ENGINE SENSOR THAT IS THE PROBLEM. LOOKS LIKE FORD IN MAITLAND LIKES TO MAKE THINGS UP. *TR

MY 2007 FORD EDGE BEGAN TO HAVE ERRATIC BRAKING. THE PEDAL WOULD GO ALMOST TO THE FLOOR AND BRAKING WAS VERY POOR DURING THOSE TIMES. AT OTHER TIMES THE PEDAL BECAME ALMOST ROCK HARD AND COULD HARDLY BE PRESSED AND LITTLE OR NO BRAKING OCCURRED. THIS HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY DURING EXITING THE FREEWAY AND I HAD TO LET OFF AND PUMP THE BRAKE PEDAL AND WAS ABLE TO STOP. VERY DISCONCERTING AND THE PROBLEM WAS GETTING WORSE SO TOOK TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE PROBLEM WAS A LEAKING BRAKE BOOSTER WHICH REQUIRED $400 TO REPLACE. MY CAR HAD 3.5 YEARS OF SERVICE AND ABOUT 53,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE DRIVEN FOR OVER 50 YEARS AND NEVER HAD A BRAKE BOOSTER GO OUT. I FEEL THAT THIS PROBLEM IS A SAFETY ISSUE BUT FORD APPARENTLY DOES NOT. *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER WENT TO ZERO AND ALL THE MILEAGE INFORMATION WENT BLANK. THE FRONT AIRBAG LIGHT, SERVICE WRENCH AND SHORTLY THERE AFTER THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR LIGHT CAME ON. I EXITED THE FREEWAY AND AFTER STOPPING FOR THE TRAFFIC LIGHT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE, BUT MOVED SLOWLY APPARENTLY STUCK IN THE HIGH GEARS. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT UP OR DOWN. THE NEXT STOP LIGHT THE SAME PROBLEM. I PARKED IN A PARKING LOT AND RECYCLED THE IGNITION AND THE MILEAGE INFORMATION RETURNED. HOWEVER WHEN I PUT THE VEHICLE INTO REVERSE THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO CLUNK VIOLENTLY! I THEN SWITCHED TO DRIVE AND AGAIN IT CLUNKED VIOLENTLY! I RECYCLED THE IGNITION AGAIN AND PUT IT INTO REVERSE AGAIN CLUNKING VIOLENTLY. I AGAIN RECYCLED THE IGNITION AND PUT INTO REVERSE THE VEHICLE TRANS CLUNKED MOVING BACKWARDS. I THEN PULLED FORWARD SHIFTING TO DRIVE AGAIN WITH A CLUNK THE VEHICLE MOVED FORWARD AS IF STILL IN HIGHER GEARS. I DROVE ACROSS THE PARKING LOT TO ABOUT 30 MPH AND BRAKED TO A STOP IT DOWN SHIFTED HARD. AFTER THAT THE TRANS WORKED TO GET US HOME, HOWEVER THE CRUISE CONTROL WOULD NOT LIGHT UP ON THE DASH OR WOULD NOT FUNCTION PERIOD. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO HEMBORG FORD IN NORCO, CA TO CHECK WITH 59,175 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. JUST TWO WEEKS EARLIER THE RIGHT REAR AXLE BEARING WAS WINING AND FORD REPLACED THE BEARING

ONE OF THE REAR BLINKERS WENT BAD TWICE SINCE I HAD THE CAR AND WHEN I WENT TO REPLACE IT THE SOCKET THAT THE BULB GOES INTO WAS BLACK AND MELTED. THE FIRST TIME THE BLINKER WENT OUT THE CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY SO THE DEALER REPLACED THE BULB. I FEEL THAT THIS ISSUE NEED TO BE ADDRESSED SOON BECAUSE OTHER THAN BEING ANNOYING HAVING TO REPLACE THE BULB IT SEEMS LIKE A FIRE HAZARD. *TR

2007 FORD EDGE, BOTH REAR TURN SIGNAL LIGHTS SHORTED OUT WITHIN A FEW WEEKS OF EACH OTHER. IN BOTH CASES, THE BASE OF BULB THAT PLUGS INTO SOCKET HAS A BURNED BLACK APPEARANCE LEADING ME TO BELIEVE THIS COULD BE A FIRE SAFETY HAZARD IN THIS MODEL. I HAVE REPLACED BOTH BULBS AND MY HUSBAND IS REPORTING TO OUR LOCAL DEALER.

FOR THE LAST YEAR OR MORE MY CAR (2007 FORD EDGE SEL) HAS BEEN STALLING. I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE INTO FORD WHILE IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND WAS TOLD THEY DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING. IT CONTINUED TO HAPPEN ON AND OFF SO WE BROUGHT IT BACK TO FORD IN JUNE 2010 AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING THEY HOOKED IT UP TO THE COMPUTER AND DID AN UPDATE, THEY THOUGHT THIS WOULD SOLVE IT. A WEEK LATER IT STARTED AGAIN BUT THIS TIME STARTED STALLING WHILE DRIVING. IT HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN A WINDING HILL, I LOST COMPLETED CONTROL OF THE CAR AND HAD NO STEERING, I QUICKLY SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL AND RESTARTED WHILE TRYING TO KEEP THE CAR ON THE ROAD. IT WAS VERY SCARY AS I HAD MY 2 CHILDREN IN THE CAR. THE CAR IS CURRENTLY BACK AT FORD AND HAS BEEN FOR THE LAST 2 WEEKS AS THE VEHICLE IS NO LONGER SAFE TO DRIVE. THEY SAY THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. AFTER SEARCHING THE INTERNET I FOUND 6 OR MORE CASE OF THE SAME COMPLAINT WITH THE FORD EDGE 2007 AND 2008 BUT YET FORD DOESN'T KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING THIS. *TR

OUR 2007 FORD EDGE HAS EXPERIENCED THE ENGINE CUTTING OFF WITHOUT WARNING THREE TIMES. THE DEALER REPROGRAMS THE PCM MODULE BUT THE PROBLEM CONTINUES. IT WAS REPROGRAMMED ON 7/20/2010 AND IT CUT OFF AGAIN ON 7/23/2010 AT 50 MPH AGAIN WITHOUT ANY WARNING. THIS IS AN UNNERVING ,UNSAFE CONDITION. THIS HAS HAPPENED OVER A 13 MONTH PERIOD, TWICE NOW WITHIN A MONTH. *TR

MY HUSBAND & I OWN A 2007 FORD EDGE. WE ARE A MILITARY FAMILY WITH MY HUSBAND SERVING IN THE USAF. NEEDLESS TO SAY WE TRAVEL VERY OFTEN BY CAR TO VISIT FAMILY MEMBERS ALL OVER THE COUNTRY. SINCE HAVING OUR FIRST BABY 8 MONTHS AGO ON THIS LATEST CAR TRIP WE DECIDED TO USE OUR CARGO ROOF RACK FOR THE FIRST TIME. THIS ROOF RACK IS THE RACK THAT CAME ON THE FORD EDGE FROM THE MANUFACTURER. WE DECIDED TO BUY A SMALL 36"X30"X18" CARGO BAG (CLOTH) TO PUT A FEW ITEMS IN & CARRY ON THE ROOF. FIVE MINUTES INTO THE TRIP ON THE HIGHWAY IN THE HOV LANE WE HEARD A LOUD SNAP NOISE & THE ENTIRE ROOF RACK BROKE OFF WITH OUR CARGO BAG & WENT FLYING OFF BEHIND US IN EARLY AM RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC NEARLY CAUSING A CAR ACCIDENT. NO SHOULDER ON THE HIGHWAY MY HUSBAND AND I HAD TO GET A POLICE OFFICER TO HELP US BLOCK THE HOV LANE SO WE COULD GET THE CARGO BAG & BROKEN ROOF RACK. THE CARGO HAD NO MORE THAN 60 LBS. WORTH INSIDE SO WE KNOW WE DIDN'T EXCEED ANY WEIGHT LIMIT. I MYSELF @ 130LBS & 5'2" COULD PICK UP THE CARGO BAG MYSELF. WE DROVE STRAIGHT TO FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE WE WAITED THREE HOURS TO HEAR THAT FORD WOULD NOT REPLACE THE ROOF RACK BECAUSE IT WAS DAMAGED BY OUTSIDE CAUSES. I SHOULD MENTION THAT MY EDGE IS STILL COVERED UNDER THE 36,000.00 MILE BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY. TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE THERE ISN'T A STITCH OF INFORMATION IN THE OWNERS MANUAL AS TO WHAT THE ROOF RACK WEIGHT LIMITS ARE OR HOW CARGO SHOULD BE STRAPPED TO IT. I WILL BE FILING AN APPEAL COMPLAINT TODAY & IF I HAVE TO I WI

2007 FORD EDGE WITH VISTA ROOF GLASS TOP. WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED MY FRONT GLASS PANEL EXPLODED AND SCATTERED GLASS SHARDS DOWN THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE. SINCE DEALING WITH THE FORD DEALER AND COMPANY THERE IS NO INDICATION THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. HOWEVER, AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET, I HAVE FOUND SEVERAL INSTANCES OF THIS REPORTED (HTTP://TOWNHALL-TALK.EDMUNDS.COM/DIRECT/VIEW/.F0FD566) SINCE WE HAD THE INSIDE PANEL CLOSED NO ONE WAS HURT. BESIDES THE NOISE SCARING THE DRIVER I IMAGINE THAT IF THE PANEL IS OPEN THIS COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS. THE CAR IS STILL IN FOR REPAIR AND AM TOLD REPLACEMENT PART(S) IS ON ORDER FROM OUT OF STATE. THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO CONTINUE INTO AT LEAST THE 2008 MODELS. *TR

1. WAS DRIVING TO WORK IN MY 2007 FORD EDGE SEL WITH HANKOOK TIRES, WHEN THE LOW TIRE PRESSURE INDICATOR LIGHT TURNED ON. 2. AT WORK, I FOUND A TIRE WAS AT 20 PSI AND LEAKING FROM A CRACK AT THE BASE OF THE VALVE STEM. I INSPECTED THE THREE OTHER STEMS AND FOUND THEM WITH CRACKS AT THE BASE OF THE VALVE STEM. 3. I TOOK THE CAR INTO THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP. THEY CHARGED ME FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE LEAKING VALVE STEM. THEY DID NOT TOUCH THE OTHER THREE VALVE STEMS. THE VERY NEXT DAY, ANOTHER VALVE STEM FAILED AND BEGAN TO LEAK. *TR

AFTER HAVING THE REAR BRAKE ROTORS AND PADS ON MY 2007 FORD EDGE REPLACED AT JACK SAFRO FORD IN OCONOMOWOC,WI ON 5/24/10, I NOTICED THAT THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT, THE ABS WARNING LIGHT, AND THE TRACTION WARNING LIGHT WERE ON. ALSO NOTED THAT THE ABS BRAKING SYSTEM WAS INOPERABLE AT THAT TIME. MADE ANOTHER APPOINTMENT ON 6/2/10 AT DEALER TO HAVE PROBLEM DIAGNOSED. DEALER INFORMED ME THAT BOTH REAR WHEEL ABS SENSORS WERE INOPERABLE AND RECOMMENDED REPLACING BOTH SENSORS, THE REAR WHEEL BEARING AND TRAILER ARM ON THE RIGHT REAR SIDE. DEALER ALSO INFORMED ME THAT PROBLEM WAS UNRELATED TO THE BRAKE WORK DONE JUST PRIOR. WHILE THE CAR WAS AT THE DEALER THAT DAY I CALLED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE RELATIVE TO THE PROBLEM AND WAS INFORMED THAT FORD WOULD NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE ON THE REPAIR AS THE VEHICLE HAD 39,696 MILES AND WAS OUTSIDE THE 36,000 MILE WARRENTY.I DECLINED TO HAVE THE WORK DONE AT THAT TIME IN ORDER TO GET MORE INFORMATION. ON 6/7/10 I TOOK THE CAR TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP SPECIALIZING IN ABS BRAKES, WHERE THEY TOLD ME THE RIGHT REAR ABS BRAKE SENSOR HAD BEEN DAMAGED BY THE RIGHT REAR SENSOR RING, WHICH ITSELF WAS DAMAGED AND PARTIALLY SHREDDED. PER THE MANUFACTURER'S SERVICE BULLETIN, THAT SHOP THEN REPLACED BOTH REAR WHEEL SENSORS, AND THE RIGHT REAR WHEEL HUB WITH BEARING AND SENSOR RING. I WAS GIVEN THE OLD HUB WHICH I HAVE RETAINED AND WAS SHOWN THE FAILED SENSOR RING WHICH CAUSED THE ABS PROBLEM. BRAKES OPERATED PROPERLY WITH WARNING LIGHTS OFF AFTER THAT REPA
