VEHICLE TRANSMISSION FAILED IN HIGHWAY SPEED TRAFFIC ,STARTING WITH LARGE CLUNKS AND ERRATIC SHIFTING, TOTAL LOSS OF ACCELERATION ,LEADING TO VERY UNSAFE TRAVEL ON FREEWAY. NO SHOULDER ON ROAD, STOPPED WITH NO POWER TO TRANSMISSION .STATE POLICE CORDONED OFF THE AREA ENOUGH FOR TOW 45 MIN. LATER . STILL HAVING PROBLEMS WITH ERRATIC STOPPING AND GOING, SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO GO TO 3000 RPM UNTIL TRANS MISSION CATCHES AND CAUSES UNSAFE ACCELERATION . ONLY 50K ON VEHICLE AND FORD DOES NOT ACKNOWLEDGE A PROBLEM ,MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS AND VIDEO FOUND ON THE WEB YOU-TUBE AND SUCH . HOW MANY COMPLAINTS OR INJURY'S BEFORE A RECALL? PLEASE RESPOND. THANK YOU!

I WAS DRIVING TO THE MALL AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I COULD BARELY PRESS ON THE BRAKES. IT WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL. I HEARD HISSING SOUNDS LIKE AIR RELEASING. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND HE SAID THE BRAKE BOOSTER WAS GOING OUT AND THIS IS A WORLD WIDE PROBLEM WITH FORD EDGES. I HAVE YET TO HAVE IT FIXED AS THE PART IS EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE.

I WAS DRIVING BETWEEN 40-45 MPH ON A MAIN ROAD JUST AFTER 12 AM WHEN THE DASHBOARD LIT UP. THE CHECK ENGINE/WRENCH & AIRBAG LIGHTS CAME ON, THE ODOMETER DISPLAYED AN 'ODO DATA ERROR' MESSAGE (NO MILEAGE), & THE SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE DROPPED TO 0 MPH DESPITE STILL TRAVELING AT 40-45 MPH (I RELIED ON MY CELL PHONE'S GPS FOR MY TRAVELING SPEED). THE VEHICLE WAS RESPONSIVE, BRAKING, ACCELERATING, & DECELERATING NORMALLY, AS I LOOKED FOR SOMEWHERE TO PULL OVER. I CAME TO A FULL STOP AT A RED LIGHT & WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, I PUSHED DOWN ON THE GAS PEDAL BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NEARLY UNRESPONSIVE. I FULLY PUSHED DOWN ON THE GAS PEDAL BUT THE CAR ONLY GAINED ENOUGH SPEED TO CRAWL THROUGH THE INTERSECTION. I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT JUST PAST THE INTERSECTION, PUT THE CAR IN PARK, SHUT IT OFF, & WAITED 5 MINUTES BEFORE TURNING IT BACK ON. THE WARNING LIGHTS WERE OFF & THE ODOMETER MESSAGE WAS GONE BUT WHEN I SHIFTED INTO DRIVE, THERE WAS A LOUD, WRENCHING SOUND & THE ENTIRE CAR JERKED...STILL BARELY ABLE TO ACCELERATE & THE SPEEDOMETER STAYING AT 0, UNRESPONSIVE TO THE GAS PEDAL. I SHIFTED INTO REVERSE WITH THE SAME RESULTS. AFTER A FEW UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPTS WITH THE SAME RESULTS, I CALLED FOR A RIDE & LEFT THE CAR IN THE PARKING LOT, ARRANGING A TOW TO THE FORD DEALER WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED. THE FORD SERVICE DEPARTMENT DID A TEST DRIVE IN THEIR LOT & THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATING NORMALLY BUT PULLED COMPUTER ERROR CODES INDICATING FAULTY SENSORS (THE OUTPUT SPEED SENSOR & TURBINE SPEED

POPPING NOISE MADE FROM FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRES WHEN TURNING LEFT, AT GEAR CHANGE TRANSMISSION JERKS, POWERTRAIN AWD MALFUNCTION LIGHT CAME ON , TRUCK WOULD NOT ACCELERATE INTO 2ND GEAR LOUD GRINDING NOISE MADE, CENSOR HAD TO BE REPLACED, POPPING NOISE STILL EXIST IN LEFT FRONT TIRE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND FAILED TO RESPOND INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE DRIVER ABS RING WAS FRACTURED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 57,000. MA 08/06/15 THE CONSUMER STATED THIS IS HIS SECOND FORD VEHICLE TO HAVE THIS FAILURE. UPDATED 11/27/2015 *JS

[XXX] *TR

REAR TURN SIGNAL AND BRAKE LIGHT OVERHEATED AND STARTED TO MELT THE BULB AND CONNECTORS. *TR

DRIVING AND ALL THE SUDDEN CAR LOSES TRANSMISSION CAPABILITY. IT SHIFTS REALLY HARD AND WHEN AT A STOP HAVE TO REV THE ENGINE TO GET IT TO GO AT A CRAWL. ALL LIGHTS ON DASHBOARD LIGHT UP - TOOL WRENCH - AIR BAG DISABLED - ODOMETER AND SPEEDOMETER STOP WORKING. VERY DANGEROUS IN TRAFFIC!!!! *TR

MY BRAKES STARTED OFF FEELING VERY STIFF, THEN WOULD SINK INTO FLOOR WHILE MAKING A HISSING SOUND. OFTEN BARELY STOPPING. WHEN STOPPED WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE THE ENGINE WILL START SPUTTERING LIKE IT IS GOING TO SHUT OFF, WHEN I LET OFF THE BRAKE IT WILL RUN FINE. THERE WERE NO WARNING OR INDICATIONS THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM AND I HAVE NEARLY WRECKED MULTIPLE TIMES. I CONTACTED THE LOCAL FORD SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND WAS INFORMED THAT THEY HAVE FIXED THIS SAME PROBLEM IN SEVERAL OF THE FORD EDGE SUVS AND THAT IT WOULD COST BETWEEN $600 AND $700 TO REPAIR. IF SO MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WHY HAS FORD NOT PUT OUT A RECALL ON THIS? *TR

WITHOUT WARNING, BRAKES FAILED. THANKFULLY WAS TRAVELING SLOWLY AS PARKING THE CAR. THERE WAS A HISSING SOUND AND BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. WE WERE LUCKY. COULD HAVE BEEN A DISASTER. CAR IS AT PRIVATE MECHANIC. TOLD MASTER CYLINDER AND BRAKE BOOSTER BAD. WHY WOULDN'T WE HAVE HAD A WARNING PRIOR TO SUCH A POTENTIALLY DISASTROUS FAILURE. WHY WOULDN'T THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT HAVE ACTIVATED. *TR

VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER STEERING FUNCTION WHILE DRIVING. *TR

ENGINE SYMBOL ON ALSO WRENCH SYMBOL LOST ACCELERATION PULL OVER TURN OFF PUT IN REV HEARD LOUD CLUNK RPM HIGH BUT NOT ACCELARATION. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A 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.

THE LEFT REAR TURN SIGNAL STOPPED WORKING. AFTER SEARCHING ONLINE I DISCOVERED IT WAS A COMMONLY REPORTED PROBLEM. UPON REMOVING THE LENS ASSEMBLY I NOTICED THE SAME THING OTHERS ARE REPORTING. THE PLASTIC BASE OF THE BULB IS MELTED. THE BULB IS STILL GOOD HOWEVER. THE BULB SOCKET IS CHARRED OBVIOUSLY FROM EXCESSIVE HEAT. NOTHING ELSE INCLUDING THE RUBBER GASKET AROUND THE SOCKET SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN AFFECTED BY THIS HEAT. *TR

THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM FOR A WHILE NOW (YEARS). WHAT IS HAPPENING IS MY TRANSMISSION IS STRUGGLING TO SHIFT INTO GEAR, BUT MORE OFTEN WHEN TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 15-25 MPH. AT THIS SPEED, IT WILL SHIFT BUT OFTENTIMES WHEN IT SHIFTS THERE IS A THUD AND HARD JERK, ALMOST SEEMING AS MY TRANSMISSION IS GOING TO DROP RIGHT OUT OF MY CAR. WHEN I FIRST HAD THIS DIAGNOSED, THE DEALERSHIP THOUGHT PERHAPS MY PCM NEEDED RECALIBRATED. SHORTLY AFTER THE RECALIBRATION, THE ENTIRE PCM FRIED AND IT NEEDED REPLACED. LUCKILY, IT WAS COVERED UNDER AN 80,000 MILE WARRANTY (MY CAR HAD ABOUT 75,000 MILES ON IT...PHEW). NEEDLESS TO SAY, AFTER THE ENTIRE PCM REPLACEMENT, MY CAR STILL STRUGGLES TO SHIFT AND, UNFORTUNATELY, IT SEEMS LIKE I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. *TR

WHILE TRAVELING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED THE CAR DROPPED INTO A LOWER GEAR. THE DASHBOARD DISPLAYED SEVERAL ERROR MESSAGES INCLUDING THE CHECK POWERTRAIN SYMBOL (LIGHTED WRENCH) AND A ODP SPEED WARNING. LITTLE TO NO POWER BEING TRANSFERRED TO THE WHEELS. *TR

1ST OCCURRENCE: THE VEHICLE'S SPEEDOMETER WENT TO 0 AND WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. AS THE VEHICLE SLOWED AND I TRIED TO ACCELERATE OUT OF TRAFFIC, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE. IT SEEMED TO BE STUCK IN A HIGH GEAR. I SAT ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND WAS ALMOST ROBBED WHILE I WAS WAITING ON MY HUSBAND TO ARRIVE FOR HELP. AFTER MY HUSBAND ARRIVED AND THE CAR HAD BEEN OFF FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES, HE STARTED IT AND IT DROVE LIKE NORMAL. 2ND OCCURRENCE: ABOUT 1 MONTH LATER, THE SAME THING HAPPENED WITH THE VEHICLE, FORTUNATELY I WAS CLOSER TO HOME. MY HUSBAND RAN THROUGH THE SAME PROCESS OF ALLOWING THE CAR TO COOL OFF AND RESTARTING IT. AFTER SOME INVESTIGATION ONLINE, THIS ISSUE SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE FORD EDGE. IT APPEARS TO BE A PAIR OF SENSORS, CALLED THE TURBINE SENSOR AND TRANSMISSION SPEED SENSOR. IT ALSO APPEARS THAT THESE SENSORS COST ABOUT $800 TO REPLACE. IF THIS IS SUCH A COMMON PROBLEM, WHY HAS THERE NOT BEEN A RECALL FROM FORD? *TR

THE WATER PUMP IS LOCATED INSIDE THE ENGINE AND WHEN A SIMPLE $160 PART FAILED, IT CIRCULATED ANTI-FREEZE THROUGH THE ENGINE NECESSITATING A COMPLETE ENGINE REPLACEMENT. THIS HAPPENED WITHIN THE SPAN OF 5 MINUTES WITH THE FIRST SYMPTOM THE HEAT WENT OFF INSIDE THE CABIN. NO ENGINE LIGHTS CAME ON, THE HEAT CAME BACK ON AND WENT OFF AGAIN, STILL NO INDICATION OF ENGINE OR TROUBLE LIGHTS GOING ON. THEN MAJOR ENGINE FAILURE, INSTANTLY THE OIL LIGHT WENT ON AND WITHIN SECONDS THE MOTOR OVERHEATED. THERE WAS A TERRIBLE NOISE AS I FOUND MY WAY TO A SAFE SPOT TO STOP THE CAR. THIS IS THE MOST BASIC KIND OF IRRESPONSIBILITY IN CREATING AN EXPENSIVE PRODUCT LIKE A CAR. AMERICAN COMPANIES OWE IT TO THE PUBLIC NOT TO FOIST A HUGE DESIGN DEFECT ON AN UNSUSPECTING PUBLIC AND SHOULD WILLINGLY PAY 100% OF ANY AND ALL CLAIMS FOR THIS ISSUE. *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING, TWO OR THREE WARNING LIGHT ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CAME ON, THE CAR LOST ALL POWER. I WOULD ONLY GO FORWARD WITH THE GAS PETAL PUSHED TO THE FLOOR. IT'S A KNOWN ISSUE, FOUND OUT FROM YOUTUBE MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME EXACT ISSUE. IT'S AN INTERMITTENT ISSUE THAT HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS ON THE ROAD CREATING A HAZARDOUS SITUATION FOR EVERYONE. HERE IS WHAT IS KNOWN ABOUT THIS ISSUE. TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN 07-3-11 6F50 TRANSAXLES BUILT PRIOR TO 1/1/2007 - DTC P0715, P0717, P0718, P0720, P0721, P0722 AND/OR HARSH ENGAGEMENT, NO UPSHIFT, FIFTH GEAR ONLY. SOME 2007 EDGE AND MKX VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH A 6F50 TRANSAXLE WITH A TRANSAXLE BUILD DATE PRIOR TO 1/1/2007, WITH ANY OUTPUT SHAFT SPEED (OSS) SENSOR OR TURBINE SHAFT SPEED (TSS) SENSOR DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE(S) (DTCS) P0715, P0717, P0718, P0720, P0721, P0722 AND/OR HARSH ENGAGEMENTS, NO UPSHIFT, FIFTH GEAR ONLY, COULD HAVE AN INTERMITTENT SHORT IN THE OSS OR TSS SENSOR. FORD KNOWS ABOUT THIS FLAW AND COMMON PROBLEM AND THERE IS A TSB, BUT NO RECALL. THIS IS THE PROBLEM THAT IS CAUSING THE SYMPTOMS IN THE VIDEO. *TR

DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT COMES ON SO DOORS WON'T LOCK, DOME LIGHT WON'T GO OUT AND NOTHING WILL SHOW UP ON THE DASHBOARD DISPLAY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL TANK LEAKED A SMALL AMOUNT OF FUEL ONTO THE GROUND. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THERE WAS A RECALL ACCORDING TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V682000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE); HOWEVER, THE PART NEEDED TO PERFORM THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 99,000.

THE TRANSMISSION (AUTOMATIC) WILL NOT GO OUT OF THE FIRST GEARS. THERE WAS A LOUD THUD NOISE AND THEN THE CAR WOULDN'T SHIFT, I HAD TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND THEN BACK INTO DRIVE TO GET IT TO WORK SEVERAL TIMES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V682000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE) IN NOVEMBER OF 2014. HOWEVER, THE PARTS WERE UNAVAILABLE AT THE TIME TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT A FOLLOW-UP NOTICE HAD NOT BEEN RECEIVED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DEALER TOOK POSSESSION OF THE VEHICLE, WHICH WAS DEEMED UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

I BOUGHT A CERTIFIED PRE OWNED 2008 EDGE IN JUNE 2013. I FIRST EXPERIENCED THE HARD JERKING PROBABLY EARLY 2014 OR MAYBE IN THE WINTER OF 2013. IT HAD TROUBLE SHIFTING UP WHEN CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP BUT THEY COULDN'T REPRODUCE IT. THEY FIXED A TRANSMISSION LEAK AND UPDATED SOME SOFTWARE ON TWO SEPARATE VISITS. BOTH TIMES THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY FOR A FEW DAYS AND THEN CAME BACK AGAIN. IT WAS NOT SERIOUS ENOUGH THEN. THIS YEAR IT OCCURS MORE OFTEN (USUALLY IN THE STOP AND GO TRAFFIC) AND THERE IS ALSO ABRUPT JERK WHEN THE CAR SHIFTS UP FROM 10-20 MPH OR FROM 20-30 MPH. THE POWERTRAIN MALFUNCTION SYMBOL CAME ON TODAY. BUT AFTER I LET THE CAR SIT FOR HALF AN HOUR AND RESTARTED IT, THE SYMBOL WAS GONE. I'M TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP SOON AND HOPE THEY CAN DO SOMETHING. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO ONLY OCCUR IN COLD WEATHER. THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS ISSUE ONLINE. IT COULD BE DANGEROUS IF IT HAPPENS AT AN INTERSECTION OR ON A HIGHWAY. FORD SHOULD RECALL THESE CARS BECAUSE THEY ARE UNSAFE TO DRIVE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE OVERHEATED. THE CONTACT DISCOVERED THAT THERE WAS OIL AND ANTI FREEZE COOLANT LEAKING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

I JUST BEEN TOLD BY KOONS THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY 1,300 TO FIX A THROTTLE ISSUE ON MY 2008 FORD EDGE, WHICH I PURCHASED AS A USED VEHICLE LABOR DAY SPECIAL 2014. THE CAR STALLS, STOPS, ACCELERATION IS AFFECTED. FORD KNOWS THE THROTTLES ARE FAULTY AND INSTEAD OF RECALLING, THEY DID A CUSTOMER SATISFACTION AND AGREED TO REPAIR AFFECTED EDGE FROM 2009-2014. THIS IS BOGUS I HAVE 2008, WHICH THAT HAS THIS ISSUE. I REFUSE TO PAY THIS AND DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO INVEST IN JUNK. KOONS TOLD ME BECAUSE OF MY HESITATION I WAS INVESTIGATING IN A CAR THAT HAS VALUED EQUITY & WOULD OFFER GREAT TRADE. THEY KNEW..THEY YET PUT ME IN ANOTHER DANGEROUS CAR. I HAD ACCIDENT AS WELL, DRIVING CA LOST SPEED & STALLED WHILE CROSSING OVER IN PARKING LOT. *TR

THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE IN THE LAST TWO WEEKS. ONCE AT 45 MPH, ONCE AT 60 MPH. SPEEDOMETER GOES TO ZERO DESPITE MAINTAINING SPEED. DISPLAY SHOWS OD DATA ERROR. AIRBAG, TIRE PRESSURE, AND WRENCH LIGHTS COME ON. PULL OVER, TURN OFF ENGINE. RESTART. RESET BUTTON. TRANSMISSION FEELS LIKE IT IS IN A HIGHER GEAR, SHIFTS HARD LITTLE ACCELERATION POWER.. ONCE YOU GET IT TO SHIFT UP TO A HIGH GEAR SEEMS TO SHIFT/DRIVE NORMAL. *TR

TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEED, DASHBOARD LIGHTS UP WITH CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, AIRBAG LIGHT, GET ODOMETER FAILURE, SPEEDOMETER STOPS WORKING, FOLLOWED BY A TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR FAILURE. TRANSMISSION STOPS SHIFTING PROPERLY INCLUDING A LOSS OF POWER ESPECIALLY WHEN RESUMING FROM A STOP. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WERE WAS A STRONG BURNING ODOR INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE CARBURETOR AND THE FUEL LINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V682000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000. UPDATED 4/15/15*CN

TOOK MY VEHICLE IN EARLY FOR SERVICE AT SUNRISE BECAUSE WAS CONCERNED ABOUT LOUD SCREECHING NOISE ON BRAKES AND ERRATIC BEHAVIOR OF VEHICLE -SURGING. WHEN DRIVING. WHEN THE SERVICE TECH (TROY) OPENED THE HOOD HE ASKED EM TO GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND STAND BACK, AS THE TOP OF THE BATTERY WAS SPATTERED WITH BLACK OIL LOOKING MATERIAL AND APPARENTLY HE AND ANOTHER TECHNICIAN WERE CONCERNED IT MIGHT RUPTURE OR EXPLODE. THEY ASKED EM TO GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE, GIVE THEM THE KEYS AND THAT THEY WOULD CHECK THE VEHICLE AND ASKED ME TO WAIT. ABOUT 90 MINUTES LATER THEY CAME OUT AND SAID ALL WAS FINE, NOTHING WRONG WITH BATTERY OR BRAKES. I LEFT AND DROVE VEHICLE HOME AND SAME PROBLEMS WERE OCCURRING, I RETURNED AND AFTER CALLING AND SAYING SAME THINGS WERE OCCURRING. I HAD HPED TO SPEAK TO [XXX], WHO WAS AN AMAZING SERVICE SUPERVISOR, BUT HE WAS NOT THERE AND ANOTHER MAN WHO WAS RUDE CLAIMED THE BATTERY WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY BUT THAT IT WAS NORMAL TO HAVE OILY SLUDGE ON THE BATTERY . HE SAID IT WAS "NORMAL, BECAUSE IT WAS JUST SWEATING". HE REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING..SAID THE BRAKES NEEDED TO BE AT 3 BEFORE FORD WOULD REPLACE THEM. I ASKED THAT HE CONTACT FORD CORPORATE AND INQUIRE. HE SAID, "NO HE WOULD NOT" THE BATTERY I SHOULD ADD SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN REPEATEDLY REPLACED. I HAVE LIMITED DRIVING THE VEHICLE, EXCEPT FOR SHORT LOCAL TRIPS, AND TONIGHT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AND AAA CLAIMED THE BATTERY WAS DEFECTIVE AND CLEARLY DEAD. IT IS MOST DISTURBING WHEN

TO LADIES AND GENTLEMEN MY 2008 FORD EDGE SE FRONT DRIVE THE FOAM IS NOT HOLDING TO THE SEAT FRAME ANY MORE JUST COME OFF SEE NO WAY OF FIXING IT AND IF IT CAUSES HARM TO ME AND OR SOME ONE ELSE IN A CRASH THAT'S OUT OF MY CONTROL THERE WILL BE A LAW SUIT " SORRY TO SAY ONCE YOU SEE THE SEAT YOU'LL NO, OTHER WISE THE TRUCK IS VERY NICE BUT WONT BUY ANOTHER BECAUSE OF THIS QUALITY PROBLEM" ! THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN ALONG WITH AIR BAGS COMBINE TOGETHER SO ONE EFFECTS THE OTHER IN A CRASH AND SURE WOULD LIKE TO HEAR FROM FORD BEFORE THEY HAVE TO HEAR FROM ME. THANKS TO WHO THIS MAY CONCERN.. *TR

THE DRIVER DOOR AJAR WARNING IS ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH AND THE DOOM LIGHTS WONT TURN OFF. I HAVE FOUND OUT THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH FORDS WHERE THE POORLY DESIGNED DOOR LATCH BINDS UP. I HAD THIS SAME ISSUE WITH MY 2002 EXPLORER AND NOW WITH MY 2008 EDGE. IT BECOMES A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AT NIGHT SINCE THE DOME LIGHTS WILL NOT TURN OFF SO IT IS HARD TO SEE OUTSIDE AND COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. FROM WHAT I CAN TELL I HAVE BEEN LUCKY TO GET THIS FAR BEFORE THIS ISSUE HAS SURFACED SINCE I HAVE READ THAT FORD CARS 2 TO 3 YEARS OLD SEEM TO HAVE THIS VERY SAME ISSUE. *JS

I WAS DRIVING AND THE BRAKES ARE STIFF AND I COULD NOT STOP. I HAVE NEARLY WRECKED 3 TIMES NOW APPARENTLY DUE TO A FAULTY BRAKE BOOSTER. THIS SEEMS TO BE A KNOWN PROBLEM BUT I DON'T KNOW WHY ONLY THE 2010 TO 2013 MODELS HAVE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THE BRAKE BOOSTERS. THIS IS RIDICULOUS TO NOT HAVE ANY WARNING MY BRAKES ARE OUT. ESPECIALLY SINCE FORD IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE. *TR

MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING WITH ME AND OUR 2 CHILDREN ON THE HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH. ALL GAUGES (FUEL, SPEEDOMETER, ODOMETER, ETC.) STOPPED WORKING AND THE ODOMETER READ "ODO DATA ERROR". WE HAD A GPS THAT WE WERE USING AND DISPLAYED OUR SPEED, SO WE KEPT GOING THE 5 MILES TO OUR PLANNED STOP ALONG THE WAY HOME. WHEN WE RESTARTED THE CAR, THE GAUGES WERE BACK UP BUT IT MADE A LOUD THUMPING SOUND WHEN CHANGING GEARS. IT REVERSED FINE (BUT WE WERE ON A SLOPE), THEN THUMPED AGAIN AS WE SWITCHED TO DRIVE. THE CAR ONLY REVVED AND DID NOT MOVE. WE REVERSED AGAIN TO SITUATE OURSELVES SO THE SLOPE WAS IN OUR FAVOR WHEN WE SWITCHED TO DRIVE. IT WAS A TOUGH START, BUT IT DID GO. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO REPORT (THIS WAS ON A SATURDAY) AND WAS TOLD THAT I COULD BRING IT IN, BUT THEY WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO LOOK AT IT UNTIL TUESDAY. WE MADE IT HOME (ANOTHER HOUR DRIVE), BUT I'M NOT USING THE CAR AGAIN UNTIL I DRIVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE CAR IS NOT ACCELERATING PROPERLY. *TR

DRIVING ALONG THE FREEWAY, WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN I NOTICED THE DIMMING OF LIGHTS IN MY CAR, AND THEN THE SPEEDOMETER AND ENGINE ODOMETER (REVS) ALL DROPPED TO 0, ALONG WITH THE WRENCH SIGNAL COMING ON, ALONG WITH THE AIRBAG SIGNAL COMING ON, AND THEN EVENTUALLY THE TIRE PRESSURE SIGNAL COMING ON. THE CAR LOST ACCELERATION AND I WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE FREEWAY AT THE NEXT EXIT. I TRIED TO PUT MY FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR, I COULD HEAR THE ENGINE REVVING BUT THE CAR ONLY MOVING AT 10 MILES AN HOUR, WOULDN'T GO ANY FASTER, ALTHOUGH I COULD HEAR IT, IT WOULDN'T CLICK OVER, OR ACCEPT THE CHANGE IN GEAR. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHEN MY SPEEDOMETER AND ODOMETER STOPPED WORKING. THEN IT TOLD ME I HAD A ERROR AND A FAULT IN MY TIRE PRESSURE SYSTEM. MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON, INDICATING THAT IT WAS OFF. I PULLED OVER AND TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE. WHEN I STARTED IT BACK UP ALL THE ERROR MESSAGES CLEARED, BUT WHEN I WENT TO PUT MY CAR INTO DRIVE IT SOUNDED AS IF THE TRANSMISSION HAD DROPPED. I TRIED DRIVING ONLY TO REV THE ENGINE UP TO 3000 RPM WITH BARELY ANY MOVEMENT. WHEN EVER SHIFTING FROM DRIVE OR REVERSE IT MADE THAT LOUD POPPING NOISE. I TOOK IT TO A DEALERSHIP TO BE TOLD IT STOPPED DOING IT BUT THEY DIDN'T FIX IT. THEY MADE NO REPAIRS. THEY ARE LETTING ME PICK THE CAR UP AND DRIVE IT AGAIN WITH OUT ANY ACTUAL RESOLUTION, BUT THEY DID CHARGE ME MONEY TO "LOOK AT THE CAR". DO PEOPLE ACTUALLY HAVE TO DIE FOR SOMEONE TO ISSUE A RECALL? I AM READING THOUSANDS OF REVIEWS ABOUT THE EDGE THAT EXPERIENCES THE SAME PROBLEMS. LETS ISSUE A RECALL AND DEVELOP SOME ACCOUNTABILITY! *TR

WHILE AT A STOP SIGN ON A SMALL SLOPED ROAD, MY VEHICLE ROLLED BACKWARDS WHEN I LET GO OF THE BRAKE TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOPPED POSITION. THERE WERE CHILDREN WALKING BEHIND ME AND I ALMOST ROLLED INTO THEM. IN ADDITION, WHILE PARKED IN A FORWARD POSITION ON A SMALL SLOPED DRIVEWAY, I WAS UNABLE TO DRIVE OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY WITHOUT APPLYING MY FOOT TO THE BRAKE AND THE GAS AT THE SAME TIME. I ALMOST HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I BROUGHT IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THIS IS HOW THE FORD EDGE IS DESIGNED AND THIS IS NORMAL. ESSENTIALLY, I NEED TO HIT THE BRAKE AND GAS WHEN ON A SLIGHT SLOPE. THIS IS VERY DISTURBING AND DANGEROUS. *TR

WHEN DRIVING ALL OF A SUDDEN THE TRUCK SPEEDOMETER GOES BLANK, THE ODOMETER DROPS TO ZERO AND THE WRENCH, AIRBAG AND EVENTUALLY THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHTS ILLUMINATE. WHEN PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR THE CAR STRUGGLES TO ACCELERATE BECAUSE IT STARTS LOSING POWER. I THEN HAVE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD, TURN THE CAR OFF AND ALLOW THE CAR TO RESET ITSELF. I TURN THE CAR ON, THE LIGHTS ARE OUT BUT WHEN I TRY TO ACCELERATE THERE IS STILL LITTLE POWER SO I HAVE TO PRESS THE ACCELERATOR TO THE FLOOR AN THEN THE POWER KICKS IN AND THE CAR OPERATES NORMAL. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME 4-5 TIMES, ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS IS A SAFE HAZARD BECAUSE IT CAN POTENTIALLY CAUSE A TRAGIC ACCIDENT. *JS

WHILE PREPARING TO STOP AT A LIGHT, SEEMED TO HAVE LOST ALL POWER. SPEEDOMETER DROPPED TO ZERO, AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND ODOMETER WAS BLANK WITH A READOUT IN ITS PLACE THAT SAID SOMETHING LIKE ODO FAILURE ALSO THE WRENCH ICON LIT UP. SHIFTED TO PARK AND THE CAR JUMPED AND JERKED AND LOUD GRINDING NOISES CAME FROM TRANSMISSION. WAS ABLE TO CREEP TO A SIDE STREET. TURNED OFF ENGINE . WAITED SEVERAL MINUTES , RESTARTED CAR AND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL RETURNED TO NORMAL. DROVE HOME ABOUT 3 MILES. TOOK IT TO SHOP AND THEY SAID IT WAS A SHAFT SEAL. THEY REPLACED IT FOR $182.00 THE PART WAS $12. GOT HOME AND IT LEAKS VERY BADLY IT HAS LEAKED ABOUT A CUP OF FLUID IN 4 HOURS.(THIS WAS PARKED / NOT RUNNING) I AM TAKING IT BACK TO THE SHOP AND HOPING THEY CAN FIX IT RIGHT. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR OVER 30 YEARS AND NEVER HAD THIS KIND OF PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT FUEL FUMES EMITTED INTO THE VEHICLE. AFTER INSPECTING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT FUEL WAS LEAKING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 08V301000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 107,000.

WHEN DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS AND THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR THERE IS A VERY HARD JERK WHEN THE SHIFT IS MADE. ALSO HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION GOING INTO A FAIL SAFE MODE WHICH PUTS IT INTO 5TH GEAR WHEN YOU ARE TRYING TO TAKE OFF AND THE ACCELERATION IS VERY SLOW. COULD LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT WHILE TRYING TO CROSS TRAFFIC AND YOU EXPECT TO BE ABLE TO TAKE OFF IN FIRST GEAR AND HAVE PROPER ACCELERATION. *TR

POWER BOOSTER LEAKING. SEEMS TO BEA PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL. *TR

IN MAY, I WAS TRAVELING AT 55 MILES AN HOURS, WHEN MY CAR LURCHED FORWARD AND ALL THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS CAME ON. THE SPEEDOMETER STOPPED SHOWING MY SPEED, THE RPM'S MAXED OUT, LOST ALL LOW GEARS, AND THE ACCELERATOR WAS NOT RESPONDING PROPERLY. I WENT AND HAD THE TRANSMISSION LOOKED AT AND THE OIL CHANGED, ENGINE FLUSHED, ETC. SEVERAL WEEKS LATER I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. AFTER A SHORT TIME THE CAR STARTED RESPONDING PROPERLY AGAIN. ON 11/14/2014, I WAS TRAVELING AT 60 MPH AND EXPERIENCED THE SAME THING FOR THE 3RD TIME. ONCE I GOT TO A SAFE LOCATION I PULLED OVER. WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN PARK IT MADE A TERRIBLE NOISE. I CALLED ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE TO TOW THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP HAS SAID IT IS THE TRANSMISSION BUT HAVE YET TO DETERMINE THE EXACT PROBLEM. I DO NOT FEEL THE POWER TRAIN OF THIS VEHICLE IS SAFE! OTHER PROBLEMS THAT HAVE OCCURRED SINCE OWNING THE VEHICLE: LUNGING AT RED LIGHTS WHEN BRAKES ARE ENGAGED (SOMETIMES FEELS LIKE I HAVE BEEN REAR ENDED), ELECTRICAL RUNNING TO REAR LIGHTS IS MELTED, EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF CORROSION ON THE BATTERY CABLES, REAR WHEELS/BRAKES GROWLING CAUSING EXCESSIVE WEAR ON BRAKES (BRAKES WENT OUT COMING TO A STOP SIGN ONE DAY), RADIATOR FAN PROBLEMS, FAILURE OF THE COOLANT FAN 2 TIMES AND WAS REPLACED, TUBING FOR WINDSHIELD SPRAY ERODED. *TR
