2008 FORD EDGE TRANSMISSION ISSUES. THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT SHIFT PROPERLY AND STICKS IN GEAR AND SHIFTS VERY ERRATICALLY. IT HAPPENS AT LEAST ONCE A DAY OR MORE DEPENDING ON HOW OFTEN IT IS DRIVEN. THE CAR HAS BECOME UNRESPONSIVE AT DIFFERENT TIMES TO THE THE GAS PEDAL AND HAS ACTUALLY SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD, WE WERE ABLE TO COAST BARELY TO SAFETY. FROM READING FORD FORUMS IT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM, AND FORD KNOWS ABOUT IT BUT WILL DO NOTHING TO CORRECT THE 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.

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.

TAKATA AIR BAG RECALL- RECEIVED FORD RECALL NOTICE ON PASSENGER FRONTAL AIR BAG BUT NOY ON DRIVER'S AIR BAG THAT CUT MY FACE WHEN IT DEPLOYED AND OBSTRUCTED MY VISION AND MADE ME HIT ANOTHER CAR. WHY WAS THAT BAG NOT MENTIONED IN THE FORD RECALL TO THIS SAME VIN # AS MY CAR? VEHICLE IN MOTION AND HAVE THESE BAGS EXPLODED WHEN SHARP TURN WAS MADE TO AVOID ACCIDENT PREVIOUS REPORT 2/6/2016 YR # 100148 REFERENCE 10872208.

NEEDED TO REPLACED BRAKE BOOSTER ON VEHICLE WITH 84,000 MILES. BRAKES HAD TO BE TROMPED ON IN 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.

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

65,000 MILES ON CAR. WHEN I PRESS ON BRAKE PEDAL, THERE IS A WHISTLE SOUND. TOOK CAR IN TO PRIVATE MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC. HE TELLS ME IT IS A "VACUUM LEAK." WILL FORD COVER THIS?

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.

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 THE POWER TRAIN FAULTY SENSORS NEAR THE TRANSMISSION NEED TO BE REPLACED COSTING OVER $800,00, AS FOR THE AIRBAG I HAVEN'T RECEIVED A INVOICE YET.

FOR NO PARTICULAR REASON MY EDGE DECELERATES TO TEN MILES AN HOUR WHILE THE TACH READS 3RPMS IT 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 GAS DIRT IN A FUEL LINE LOW 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 YOU SAYLORSBURG PENNSYLVANIA.

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.

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED BUT REQUIRED EXCESSIVE FORCE TO STOP THE VEHICLE.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 79,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

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.

BRAKES BEGAN TO "HISS" AND THEN OVER A 3 MONTH PERIOD BECAME INEFFECTIVE AT STOPPING THE VEHICLE. I RESEARCHED THE ISSUE AND THERE IS A RECALL ON THE SAME YEAR AND MODEL OF MY CAR BUT MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED.

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

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

2008 FORD EDGE ON OCCASION WILL JERK WHEN TAKING OFF

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE ENGINE REVVED AS IF THE CONTACT WERE DRIVING MORE THAN 70 MPH. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS AND THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A LOSS OF POWER. THE CONTACT FELT UNSAFE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER AND THE DEALER WERE NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PLACED ON THE MACHINE FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING, NO FAILURE CODES WERE DISTRIBUTED TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 101,000. UPDATED 09/27/16*LJ *JS

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. I HAVE BEEN PUTTING UP WITH MANY ISSUES UNTIL THE LAST ONE I EXPERIENCED LAST YEAR. MY USUAL PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN WHEN ON AN INCLINE & TRYING TO GO FORWARD, THE CAR WILL GO BACKWARDS CAUSING YOU TO HAVE YOUR FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND THE GAS AT THE SAME TIME SO YOU WILL NOT HIT THE CAR BEHIND YOU. ALSO THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS VERY HARD. WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE WILL JERK FOR NO APPARENT REASON. BUT THE LAST PROBLEM THAT CAUSED ME TO PARK THE VEHICLE WAS WHEN IT JUST STOPPED ACCELERATING IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. I WAS FORTUNATE TO BE ABLE TO COAST TO A NEARBY PARKING LOT. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE NOW. I CANNOT AFFORD TO TAKE IT TO A DEALERSHIP TO HAVE REPAIRS RIGHT NOW.

TL* 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.

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 LIKED HER 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.

MY CHILD AND I WERE 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 OR FIELD 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

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.

TL* 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.
