2008 Ford Edge complaints

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

DRIVER SEAT JOLTS BACK WHEN YOU ACCELERATE.

ON DECEMBER 12, 2014 FORD MAILED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE TO MY ATTENTION REGARDING NHTSA RECALL 14V-682 REGARDING CORROSION OF FUEL TANK MOUNTING BRACKETS. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS LETTER WAS FOR INFORMATION ONLY AND THAT I WOULD BE CONTACTED WHEN PARTS WERE READY FOR THE REPAIR. WE ARE APPROACHING 10 MONTHS SINCE THE LETTER WAS MAILED AND I AM STILL WAITING FOR FORD TO CONTACT ME REGARDING THE AVAILABILITY OF THE NEEDED REPAIR PARTS. AS I LIVE IN THE NORTHEAST AND SALT IS USED EXTENSIVELY ON THE ROADS DURING THE WINTER I DO NOT WANT TO GO THROUGH ANOTHER WINTER WITH THIS ISSUE BE UNRESOLVED.

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V682000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, THE ENGINE REVVED UP TO 7,000 RPMS PER MINUTE. THE VEHICLE WAS MANEUVERED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH CAUTION AND THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF. AFTER RESTARTING, THE RPMS INCREASED RAPIDLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHO STATED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS CURRENTLY BEING REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 49,000.

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!

9/11/2015 MY ABS LIGHT STARTED GOING ON AND OFF A FEW DAYS AGO SO I CHECKED THE BRAKE FLUID AND IT WAS EMPTY. I FILLED IT UP LAST NIGHT AND THE LIGHT STILL CAME BACK ON THIS MORNING. AS I WAS APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION THIS MORNING, MY BRAKES TEMPORARILY WENT OUT AS I TRIED TO STOP. I WAS ABLE TO STOP IN TIME THOUGH BECAUSE I WAS NOT GOING VERY FAST. THEY WENT BACK TO WORKING AFTER THAT. NOW I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT EVEN TO TAKE IT TO GET SERVICED. I DID CHECK THE FLUID AND IT IS STILL FULL.

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 LI

THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

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.

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.

TL* 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.

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.

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 ANOTHER MECHANIC 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. RESPECTFULLY, [XXX] VIN UNAVAILABLE INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).' *JB

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*LJ UPDATED 12/05/2017*CN

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 72,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V682000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE) WAS RECEIVED IN DECEMBER OF 2014.

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 *BF

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 71,215.

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.

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.

WHEN GOING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE ENGINE AND/OR TRANSMISSION STUTTERS WHEN ATTEMTING TO ACCELERATE. THIS ALSO HAPPENS AT 50 MPH.

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

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.
