2008 Ford Edge complaints

I WAS GETTING INTO THE EXIT LANE ABOUT 50 MPH WHEN MY CAR COMES TO A SUDDEN SLOW DOWN OF ABOUT 5 MPH. LUCKY I WAS ALREADY SLOWING DOWN.COULD HAVE BEEN A BAD SITUATION HAD I NOT BEEN EXITING THE FREEWAY. *TR

DRIVING AROUND 45 MPH IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, HIT THE BRAKES THEN THE GAS TO NO POWER AT ALL I WAS BARELY MOVING IN BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC AND WHEN THE TRAFFIC STARTED MOVING AGAIN I WAS CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF 4 LANES OF TRAFFIC BARELY AT A CRAWL. I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED JUST TRYING TO GET TO THE SHOULDER ! THIS PROBLEM IS JUST AS LIFE THREATENING AS THE LATEST RECALL BECAUSE OF THE BAD KEY/STARTER ISSUE. ARE THEY GOING TO WAIT TO RECALL TILL WE'RE KILLED DRIVING OUR FORD EDGE? AM I THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS NOTICED ALL THE COMPLAINTS JUST THIS YEAR INVOLVING THE 2008 FORD EDGE FOR THIS SAME ISSUE? PLEASE RECALL. *TR

KEPT LOOSING TRANSMISSION FLUID. DEALER TOLD ME POWER TRAIN AT A PRICE OF 1400 + THIS IS A FAULT OF THE EDGE MODEL WITH AWD. *TR

THE VEHICLE SAYS "DRIVER DOOR AJAR" AT RANDOM TIMES WHEN THE DOOR ISN'T ACTUALLY OPEN (FROM DOING NOTHING MORE THAN OPENING AND CLOSING THE DOOR, ROLLING DOWN THE WINDOW, LOCKING THE DOORS, ETC.). WHILE THIS MAY SEEM MORE LIKE A HASSLE THAN A SAFETY ISSUE, IT IS TOO AN ISSUE OF SAFETY. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN "DOOR AJAR" MODE THE DOME LIGHTS COME ON. THIS IS DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN "DOOR AJAR" MODE, THE CAR WILL NOT LOCK. PEOPLE NEED TO BE ABLE TO LOCK THEIR VEHICLE FOR SAFETY REASONS THAT I PROBABLY DON'T NEED TO SPELL OUT. I'VE READ A FEW FORD FORUMS, WITH NUMEROUS PEOPLE DISCUSSING THIS SAME ISSUE. WHY HASN'T THEIR BEEN A RECALL TO ADDRESS THIS? *TR

I SENT AN EMAIL TO THE FORD COMPANY , WE HAVE A 2008 FORD EDGE WE BOUGHT NEW WE HAVE ALWAYS HAD AN ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND THE CAR NOT MOVING UNLESS YOU STOP AND RESTART IT, THE ISSUE WAS SO SPORADIC FROM THE 1ST YEAR THAT WE HAVE HAD IN THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY CANT SEEM TO FIND A PROBLEM, THE CAR WOULD HAVE THE AIR BAG, WRENCH AND LOW TIRE LIGHT ON AND THE ODOMETER WOULD BE ALL DASHES, YOU COULD FLOOR IT AND THE TACH WILL MOVE BUT THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD NOT MOVE AND THE CAR WOULD BARELY MOVE, LATELY THE ISSUE HAS BECOME AN EVERYDAY THING YET STILL THE DEALERSHIP CANT FIND THE PROBLEM,I WAS CHECKING ONLINE AND FOUND THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH THEIR EDGE, MANY VIDEOS SHOWING THE EXACT PROBLEM ,MY FORD DEALER IS LOOKING AT IT AGAIN. WE CAN NOT BE THE ONLY ONE HAVING THIS ISSUE. *TR

I HAVE A 2008 FORD EDGE THAT I BOUGHT IN MAY OF 2013. I HAVE BEEN HEARING LOUD GROWLING NOISES FROM THE REAR WHEELS IN THE PAST MONTH (OCT 2014) ALSO THE STEERING SEEMED TO BE EFFECTED BY THE PROBLEM. TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AND HE FOUND BOTH REAR WHEEL BEARING ARE SHOT AT 62000 MILES. THEY NEED TO BE REPLACED OF COURSE BECAUSE THE CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. AFTER HEARING THIS I LOOKED UP OTHER COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER FORD EDGE OWNERS. THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT AND MOST OF THE FAILURES HAVE OCCURRED AROUND THE 55000 - 64000 MILES. FORD KNOWS THERE IS A PROBLEM AND IS DOING NOTHING ABOUT THIS DANGEROUS CONDITION. SHAME ON FORD! SO IT IS COSTING ME $1200.00 AND SOME CHANGE WHICH I CANNOT AFFORD, TO FIX MY CAR. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL, I AM LUCKY THAT THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN WHEN I WAS DRIVING WITH MY CHILDREN AND A WHEEL FELL OFF DOING 65 ON THE HIGHWAY. *TR

REAR BULBS FAILURE CHANGED 4 TIMES SINCE 6/01/2014 LAST CHANGE 10/24/2014 BOTH SOCKETS BLACK AND BURNED HAVEN'T CHANGED SOCKETS. *TR

I HAVE ONLY HAD MY EDGE A MONTH, HAD IT CHECKED BUMPER TO BUMPER BEFORE PURCHASE (I WORK AT AN AUTO SHOP) AND READ REVIEWS ONLINE. I WISH I HAD SEEN THESE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION AND HARD SHIFTING/REVVING BEFORE PURCHASE!! AS SOON AS I BOUGHT IT, WITHIN A FEW DAYS WHEN I WOULD LEAVE WORK AND TRY TO ACCELERATE IT HESITATES, CLUNKS LOUDLY, THEN FINALLY CATCHES AND TAKES OFF.. I'VE ALREADY HAD NEW PLUGS/BOOTS/COILS DONE, NEW BELTS AND FLUSHES DONE. YESTERDAY WAS THE WORST - I WAS TAKING OFF FROM A RED LIGHT AND AS I WAS PRESSING THE PEDAL IT REVVED AND JERKED AND BANGED. SO GLAD I HAVEN'T EVEN MADE MY FIRST PAYMENT YET AND SEEING THESE COMPLAINTS, ALREADY KNOW I'M GOING TO BE SINKING MASSIVE MONEY INTO THIS VEHICLE! PLEASE RECALL FORD!!! I'VE DRIVEN CRAPPY CARS MY ENTIRE LIFE, I FINALLY GET SOMETHING THAT LOOKS NICE I SEE IS JUST ANOTHER MONEY PIT LEMON! *TR

DROVE THE CAR TO WORK WITHOUT ANY ISSUE. AFTER WORK, I DROVE TO A NEARBY CONVENIENCE STORE BY MY HOUSE AND HAD NO ISSUE. I LEFT THE STORE AND STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, I STEPPED ON THE GAS PEDAL BUT THE CAR BARELY MOVED AND WAS LABORING. I CHECKED TO MAKE SURE I WASN'T ON THE L GEAR BUT IT WASN'T BECAUSE I WAS ON D. I KEPT PRESSING ON THE GAS AND NOTICED A WRENCH LIGHT ON IN THE DASHBOARD. I MADE IT HOME AT LESS THAN 10 MILES PER HOUR WHICH WAS THE FASTEST THAT THE CAR WOULD GO. *TR

DOOR AJAR ICON ON ALL DOORS CLOSED DOME LIGHTS ONLY GO OFF WHEN CAR IS IN MOTION HOWEVER IF YOU HIT BRAKES AS IF YOUR GOING TO STOP DOME LIGHTS COME BACK ON . *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THERE WAS A SUDDEN INCREASE IN ENGINE RPMS AS THE VEHICLE OVERHEATED. THE CONTACT MANAGED TO VEERED INTO THE SLOW LANE AND CONTINUE TO COAST TO HER RESIDENCE. ON A DIFFERENT OCCASION, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED WHENEVER THE FUEL TANK WAS LOW ON FUEL. ALSO, THE BATTERY WAS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSIS. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO LOCATE A PROBLEM BUT REPLACED THE BATTERY. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100.

I PULLED OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE. I PULLED OUT OF MY NEIGHBORHOOD AND AS SOON AS I GAVE IT ANY GOOD AMOUNT OF GAS IT STARTING DRIVING REALLY ROUGH AND SHAKING AND THE A/C WENT OUT YOU COULD HEAR THE MISFIRE ON THE CYLINDERS AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS REVVING HIGH BEFORE IT WOULD SHIFT GEARS. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS OR ANYTHING AT THIS POINT. I TURNED BACK AROUND AND TOOK MY CAR BACK HOME TURNED IT OFF AND THEN TURNED IT BACK ON AND THAT'S WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WE PULLED THE CODE AND IT WAS P0352 (IGNITION COIL 2 OR PCM) SO WE BOUGHT AND CHANGED ALL SPARK PLUGS AND COIL 2. THIS STILL DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. SO I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND $3000 LATER THEY HAD TO REPLACE MY PCM (THE MAIN COMPUTER THAT RUN THE CAR) ALL 6 COILS AND SPARK PLUGS. I DID A LOT OF RESEARCH ABOUT MY CAR HAVING THIS PROBLEM AND IT SEEMS LIKE A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. PLEASE RECALL THIS. MY COMPUTER SHOULD NOT HAVE GONE OUT WHEN I DO REGULAR MAINTENANCE ON MY CAR. *TR

DRIVING THROUGH PARKING LOT WHEN SHIFT BETWEEN GEARS BECOMES VERY ROUGH. ENGINE REVS- BUT CAR HAS NO FORWARD MOVEMENT. WE WERE ABLE TO GET THE CAR IN REVERSE, AND BACK IN TO A PARKING SPACE. WE SHUT THE CAR OFF- TURNED THE CAR BACK ON AND THE ISSUE WAS RESOLVED- STILL SHIFTED A LITTLE HARD. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT NOTICED A FUEL ODOR COMING FROM THE VEHICLE AND DISCOVERED THAT FUEL WAS LEAKING. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 170,000.

GAS TANK LEAK ON THE SEAM BETWEEN THE TOP HALF AND BOTTOM HALF OF THE TANK. NOTICED A GAS SMELL AND SMALL LEAK NEAR THE BACK REAR TIRE ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. CANNOT FILL THE TANK OVER HALFWAY. *TR

WE NOTICED A STRONG FUEL SMELL IN OUR GARAGE AND TOOK OUR CAR IN FOR SERVICE. WE WERE TOLD THE FUEL TANK HAD ROTTED OUT AND WAS LEAKING FUEL. THE ENTIRE GAS TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED (ABOUT $2100). WE WERE TOLD BY THE MECHANIC THAT THIS WASN'T UNCOMMON AND WOULD "MOST LIKELY" HAPPEN AGAIN WITH THE NEW TANK. WE HAVE SINCE TRADED THE CAR IN FOR A NEW VEHICLE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS AT ABOUT 35 MPH WHEN THE TRANSMISSION SEEMED TO BE SLIPPING AND THE WRENCH CAME ON THE DASH AND THE CAR LOST ALL POWER . I CAME TO A STOP AND SHUT THE CAR OFF AND CHECKED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND IT WAS GOOD. I STARTED THE CAR AGAIN AND IT WOULD REV HIGH BUT BARELY MOVE. I GOT HOME SLOWLY AND PARKED IT AND WHEN I CAME BACK OUT LATER AND TRIED IT, ALL THE POWER WAS BACK AND THE WRENCH WAS GONE AND IT DIDN'T CLUNK INTO GEARS LIKE IT WAS EARLIER. I THINK BY SHUTTING IT OFF AND TAKING OUT THE KEY FOR A COUPLE HOURS RESET A COMPUTER GLITCH IN THIS CAR. I HAVE HEARD MANY STORIES JUST LIKE MINE AND SPEAKING FOR MANY 08 EDGE OWNERS WE WANT THIS RECALLED. THIS COULD RESULT IN TONS OF MECHANIC BILLS AND UNANSWERED ISSUES FOR OWNERS. *TR

WITHOUT ANY WARNING OR CODES, THE CAR STOPPED RUNNING. UPON RESTART THE FAN RAN EXTREMELY FAST AND LOUD. UPON INSPECTION, THE WATER PUMP GASKETS HAD ESSENTIALLY MELTED, ALL COOLANT HAD LEAKED OUT AND THE ENTIRE COOLANT/WATER PUMP SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE FIXED AND REPLACED AT A COST OF MORE THAN $3,000. OF COURSE THE VEHICLE WAS ONLY 8,000 MILES OUT OF WARRANTY. I'VE SEEN AT LEAST ONE OTHER COMPLAINT IDENTICAL TO THIS ONE. IT IS QUOTED HERE: "DISCOVERED MY 2008 EDGE HAS A FAILED WATER PUMP ASY. CAR OVERHEATED DUE TO THIS. ACCORDING TO SEVERAL SEASONED MECHANICS AND FORD, THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN TO THIS CAR WITH THIS AMOUNT OF MILEAGE. THE WAY THIS CAR WAS ENGINEERED, IT IS A $2300+ REPAIR - FOR A WATER PUMP! SPOKE WITH FORD SEVERAL TIMES ASKING FOR THEM TO STEP-UP AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. GOT NO HELP EXCEPT I SHOULD KEEP MY RECEIPTS. VERY DISAPPOINTED IN FORD." *TR

THE VEHICLE STALLS AT LOW SPEEDS AND AT RED LIGHTS AND STOP SIGNS WITHOUT WARNING AND WITHOUT GREAT CONSISTENCY. THIS HAPPENS MULTIPLE TIMES PER DAY/TRIP WITH NO RESOLUTION. DEALER AND INDEPENDENT MECHANIC CANNOT IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM AS NO CODES ARE THROWN WHEN IT HAPPENS AND IT RESTARTS AFTER STALLING. THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC AND STEERING LOCKED WHEN TURNING THE CORNER AT INTERSECTION CAUSING LOSS OF CONTROL OF VEHICLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS UNDER RANDOM CONDITIONS. WEATHER CONDITIONS, VEHICLE TEMPERATURE, SPEED, DIRECTION, BRAKING OR ACCELERATION DOES NOT HAVE ANY FACTORS WHEN THIS HAPPENS. THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF RANDOMLY AND POWER IS LOST. NO CODES OR WARNING OF ANY KIND. FORD FACTORY HAS INVESTIGATED, WIRING HARNESS TO THE MASS AIRFLOW SENSOR HAS BEEN REPLACED BUT STILL CONTINUES TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT SMELLED A FUEL ODOR INSIDE AND AROUND THE VEHICLE. AFTER INSPECTING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE FUEL TANK WAS LEAKING. THE DEALER STATED THAT THERE WERE TWO LEAKS ON THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, AN EXTREMELY STRONG BURNING ODOR EMITTED INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS, WHO INFORMED THAT THE POWER TRAIN WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 44,243.

HELLO, MY 2008 FORD EDGE IS HAVING A LOT OF TRANSMISSION FRICKING ISSUES !!!! SHIFTING HARD INTO REVERSE AND FROM 1ST TO 2ND !!! *TR

BOUGHT MY 2008 FORD EDGE 3 YEARS AGO WITH NO PROBLEMS. HAD SOME WORK DONE AFTER A WRECK YEAR AND A HALF AGO. AFTER THE REPAIR, IT BEGAN JERKING WHETHER I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY OR CITY STREETS. I NOTICED THAT WHEN IT JERKS, I LOSE RPMS AT THE SAME TIME. I HAVE TO HIT THE GAS TO GET IT TO ACCELERATE. FEELS LIKE THE GEARS ARE SLIPPING AND IT DOESN'T HAPPEN T CONSISTENT SPEEDS. SOME DAYS ARE WORSE THAN OTHERS AND SOME DAYS DOESN'T OCCUR AT ALL. IT WILL ALSO IDLE ROUGH AND HAD BEFORE JERKED WHEN GOING FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE. ALSO, APRIL 2014, I WAS BACKING INTO A PARKING SPOT WHEN THE CAR COMPLETELY DIED. I TURNED THE IGNITION OFF AND THEN STARTED THE CAR AGAIN. IT STARTED RIGHT UP. THAT IS THE ONLY TIME THAT HAS HAPPENED. *TR

THE VEHICLE REVS UP BUT DOESN'T GO ANYWHERE THEN JERKS INTO GEAR. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT NOTICED A STRONG FUEL ODOR OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THERE WAS A LEAK AT THE SEAM OF THE FUEL TANK AND THE FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE PART NEEDED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 95,000.

AFTER EXITING HWY I WAS SLOWING DOWN AT A STOP LIGHT. AT ABOUT 25 MPH MY DASH LIGHTS LIT UP. WRENCH, TIRE PRESSURE AND AIR BAG LIGHTS ARE LIT. SPEED-O WAS NOT WORKING. AFTER LIGHT TURNED GREEN THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WITHOUT PUSHING GAS TO THE FLOOR AND RPM'S REACHED 5000RPM'S AS I WAS GOING THROUGH A VERY BUSY 4 WAY INTERSECTION. I PULLED OFF TUE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND PUT CAR IN PARK. WHILE SHIFTING BACK INTO DRIVE THE TRANSMISSION DID A VERY LOUD CLUNK AS IT SHIFTED THROUGH REVERSE AND NEUTRAL TO DRIVE. AFTER TURNING CAR OFF AND LETTING SET FOR MANY MINUTES IT NEVER RESET OR RESOLVED IT'S SELF. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SITUATION AND NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED BY FORD ASAP. *TR

MY FAMILY AND I WERE COMING HOME FROM A NICE DAY OUT, WE STOPPED AT THE STOP LIGHT AND WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN WE WENT TO ACCELERATE AND THERE WAS NO POWER, MY DASH LIT UP WITH A LOW TIRE PRESSURE CODE, A WRENCH CODE " AWD/POWERTRAIN ISSUE" AND A AIR BAG CODE MY ODOMETER STOPPED WORKING AND THE DIGITAL MILEAGE ONLY DISPLAYED DASHES. ONCE WE WERE ABLE TO MAKE IT THRU THE LIGHT "BARELY" WE PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHERE WE COULD SAFELY CHECK OUT THE VEHICLE. ONCE WE DETERMINED NO FLAT TIRE WE TRIED TO MOVE FORWARD BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD ONLY CRAWL AND THIS WAS PUTTING THE GAS PEDAL ALL THE WAY DOWN. WE WERE FINALLY ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME WE SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND WHEN WE RESTARTED AND PUT INTO GEAR WE HEARD A LOUD CLUNK AND THE VEHICLE SHOOK AND RATTLED. I RESEARCHED ONLINE I FOUND THIS HAS HAPPENED FREQUENTLY TO MANY OTHER FORD EDGE OWNERS WITH NO SAFETY RECALL FROM FORD ???? THIS IS CRAZY SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE . *TR

I BACKED UP INTO THE STREET LEAVING MY DRIVEWAY, I PUT IT IN DRIVE TO MOVE FORWARD AND WENT ABOUT 50 FEET AND THE CAR JERKED AND WOULD NOT MOVE ANYMORE, I TRIED TO PRESS ON THE ACCELERATOR AND THE CAR WOULD NOT GO. THIS IS NOT AN ACCEPTABLE ISSUE, I FEEL THAT IF MY WIFE WAS IN THE CAR ON THE FREEWAY THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN BAD. *TR

FROM TIME TO TIME WHILE DRIVING WHEATHER ON A SIDE ROAD OR ON A HIGHWAY IN PARTIULAR AT ACCELERATION THE POWERTRAIN MALFUNCTION/ REDUCED POWER LIGHT COMES ON THEN IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THERE IS AN EXTREME LOSS OF POWER. ACCELERATOR PRESSED TO THE FLOOR WILL ALLOW ACCELERATION BUT WITH VERY MINIMAL TORK. I AM COCERNED THIS CAN LEAD TO A DANGEROUS SITUTATION ESPECIALLY ON A HIGHWAY SETTING. ALSO THE AIR BAG SERVICE LIGHT, LOW TIRE PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT AND THE SERVICED ENGINE SOON LIGHT ALL LIGHT UP. THERE IS ALSO AN ODOMETER READ ERROR, SPEEDOMETER AND TACHOMETER MALFUCTION. THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS VERY ROUGHLY IN AND OUT OF REVERSE AND DRIVE. THIS EVENT GENERALY LAST UNTIL THE VECHICLE IS COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN AND AN APPEARANT RESET OCCURS. THERE IS A PERIOD OF NORMAL OPERATION FOR SOME TIME AND THEN SEEMS TO SPIKE IN CLUSTERS OF EVENTS. *TR

THIS HAS NOW HAPPENED TO ME TWICE WITH BOTH MY SMALL CHILDREN IN THE CAR WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY, AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. T HE SPEEDOMETER WENT TO 0, THE MAINTENANCE WRENCH DISPLAY LIT UP, ALONG WITH THE ERROR MESSAGE "TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR FAULT" (OR SOMETHING TO THAT EFFECT) AND I WAS UNABLE AFTER STOPPING AT A STOP LIGHT TO ACCELERATE ALMOST CAUSING THE PERSON BEHIND ME TO REAR END ME. ONCE GETTING TO MY HOME WHEN PUTTING THE CAR INTO PARK IT MAKES A LOUD CLUNKING NOISE THEN PROCEEDS TO JERK THE ENTIRE VEHICLE. AFTER LETTING THE CAR SIT FOR AN HOUR I TRIED TO TURN IT ONE ONCE AGAIN AND TEST DRIVING A FEW FEET FORWARD, IT ONLY MOVED AT A SLOW PACE WHEN GAS PEDAL APPLIED. *TR

WHEN TRAVELING, ALL OF A SUDDEN THE SPEEDOMETER GOES TO 0, THE MAINTENANCE WRENCH LIGHTS UP AND WE GET AN LED MESSAGE THAT I CANT RECALL EXACTLY AT THE MOMENT. THE VEHICLE CAN CONTINUE UNTIL YOU STOP. THEN IT CANNOT PROCEED FORWARD. ONCE YOU STOP AND SHIFT TO PARK, THEN TRY TO PROCEED AGAIN, THERE IS A LOUD CLUNKING NOISE FROM THE TRANSMISSION, AND THE VEHICLE CANT MOVE FORWARD. I BELIEVE IT IS GETTING STUCK IN 5TH OR OVERDRIVE. WHEN A CODE READER IS ATTACHED BY A MECHANIC, THE CODE IT CALLS OUT IS FOR THE OUTPUT SPEED SENSOR (IN THE TRANSMISSION). ONCE THE CODE IS CLEARED THE VEHICLE CAN PERFORM NORMALLY. WE HAD THE OSS REPLACED BY A REPUTABLE TRANSMISSION SHOP, AND IT WAS FINE FOR A MONTH OR SO. NOW AGAIN WE HAVE SEEN THE PROBLEM TWICE SINCE REPLACING THE OSS. THERE SEEM TO BE MANY COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET REGARDING THIS EXACT PROBLEM. HERE IS AN EXAMPLE: HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=PX3SC2YCMEO. *TR

I WAS STOPED AT STOP SIGN MY 2008 FORD EDGE WITH NO SIGNS OF PROBLEMS. WHEN I STARTED TO PULL OUT THERE WAS LOW POWER AND THE WRENCH SIGNAL WENT ON. CAR WOULD NOT GO FASTER THEN 5MPH. I WAS VERY CONCERNED FOR CARS IN BACK OF WERE IMPATIENT AND PASSING. I RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM ON THE INERTNET AND IT SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING WITH ALOT OF THESE MAKE AND MODEL CARS. *TR

LEFT REAR TURN/TAIL LIGHT IS CONTINUALLY NOT WORKING. I REPLACE THE BULB, THINKING THAT WOULD CORRECT THE ISSUE BUT AS IT TURNED THE BULB MELTED INTO THE SOCKET WHICH HAD TO BE REPLACED. I'VE REPLACED THE SOCKET/CONNECTOR 2X AND NOW IT'S LOOKS LIKE REPLACEMENT #3 IS INEVITABLE. I RESEARCHED THE INTERNET FOR SIMILAR COMPLAINTS AND FOUND SEVERAL POSTINGS OF THE SAME PROBLEM. CAN ANYONE TELL ME IF THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE? IF NOT, THERE SHOULD BE ONE! *TR

WHEN I PUT INTO GEAR THE TRANSMISSION JERKS INTO GEAR. ALL THE VEHICLE CODES GO OFF AT ONCE. ONE INCIDENT I LOST POWER WHEN I CAME TO A STOP AT AN INTERSECTION. I ACCELERATED AND VEHICLE HESITATED TO ACCELERATE. THE. SPEEDOMETER READ ZERO AND I WAS CLEARLY GOING OVER 40MPH. I HAVE ONLY HAD THE VEHICLE 7MOS. I TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE AT THE FORD DEALER TWICE AND WAS TOLD IT WAS NOTHING AND THAT IT MIGHT BE THE BATTERY. TODAY IS THE FINAL STRAW. I AM WRITING THIS AT THE FORD DEALER. THE TRANSMISSION IS JERKING WAY TO MUCH. IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. AND THEY ARE TRYING TO PUT ME IN A NEW CAR..I WANT MY CAR FIXED. . *TR

LOSS OF POWER TO THE EXTENT OF NEXT TO NO ACCELERATION, TRANSMISSION NOT SHIFTING SMOOTHLY OR CORRECTLY, ODOMETER BLANKS OUT WITH DASHES, SPEEDOMETER QUITS WORKING, AIRBAG LIGHT AND TRANSMISSION WRENCH ILLUMINATE IN THE GAUGE CLUSTER. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING INSPECTED, IT WAS FOUND THAT THERE WAS A FUEL LEAK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED WHO INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 08V301000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

HAD BEEN NOTICING LOUD ROARING SOUND FROM RIGHT REAR OF VEHICLE. DROVE FROM OHIO TO FLORIDA (1,000 MILES) & GOT WORSE/LOUDER... TOOK IT TO LOCAL FORD MECHANIC WHO INFORMED KNOWN ISSUE IN THESE CARS IS THE REAR WHEEL HUB ASSEMBLY FAILS, ONCE REPLACED JUST FAILS AGAIN. NOISE IS INCREDIBLY NOTICEABLE AND NOT JUST ANNOYING BUT SCARY TO ME & ANY PASSENGERS. OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT, TICKED FORD'S NOT COVERING IT. *TR

DRIVING HOME WITH 2 BABIES UNDER THE AGE OF 3 IN MY CAR THE AIRBAG AND WRENCH LIGHT FLASHED AND ODOMETER HAD DASHES. CAR BEGAN TO LOSE POWER I COULD NOT ACCELERATE. TURNED THE CAR OFF WENT TO PUT IT INTO REVERSE AND THE WHOLE CAR JUMPED. I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS BEFORE WITH THE CAR JERKING WHEN GOING LOW SPEEDS. THIS IS SO BAD. CAN NOT PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE WITHOUT A LOUD CLUNK. *TR

WHILE DRIVING DOWN VAN BORN ROAD (HEAVY TRAFFIC) THE SPEEDOMETER STOPPED AND WENT TO 0 MPH, THE ODOMETER READ DASHES, THE WRENCH ILLUMINATED IN THE CORNER, AND THE AIRBAG WARNING SIGN APPEARED. THE RPM'S IN MY VEHICLE BEGAN TO CLIMB HIGHER AS WELL AND THE CAR SPEEDOMETER DID NOT INDICATE ANY MPH AND BEGAN TO DECREASE, AFTER SLOWING DOWN AT TA RED LIGHT I NOTICED MY CAR WOULD BARELY MOVE AND IT SLOWLY CREPT UNTIL I GOT HOME 1/2 MILE FROM WHEN I NOTICED THE PROBLEM START. AS SOON AS I PARKED OTHER WARNING LIGHTS BEGAN FLASHING SUCH AS THE TIRE PRESSURE SIGN. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND THEN BACK ON AND I EXPERIENCED A HARD START, WHICH WAS LOUD, AND WHEN I WENT TO CHANGE GEARS THE CAR JERKED VIOLENTLY AS IF THE MOTOR WAS JUMPING. WHEN PLACING IN REVERSE GEAR THE JERK WAS EVEN MORE VIOLENT, LOUD NOISE AS IF THE ENGINE WAS DROPPING OUT OR I WAS BEING REAR ENDED. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON TO SEE IF THE WARNING SIGNALS WERE STILL ILLUMINATED AND THEY RESET. WHEN TRYING TO SEE IF THE CAR WOULD MOVE I HAD TO PUSH THE GAS PEDAL ALMOST ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR BEFORE THE CAR WOULD EVEN MOVE A LITTLE BIT AND AGAIN THE RPM'S REVVED REALLY HIGH. I ENDED UP CALLING A TOW TRUCK THIS MORNING 8/20/14 AND THEY STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS TRYING TO SKIP FIRST GEAR AND GO DIRECTLY TO SECOND GEAR; MY CAR IS CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP. PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT I EXPERIENCED OCCASIONAL JERKING WHILE DRIVING AND THE CAR WAS SWITCHING GEARS. IT WAS VERY SCARY BEING A FEMALE AND NOT KNOWING MUCH ABOU

PAINT ON BODY OF CAR BUBBLES THEN PEELS LEADING TO RUST ON THE INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR OF HOOD. FORD ALLUDES THAT THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE WITH VARIOUS MODELS BUT STATES THAT THEY ARE LIMITED IN WHAT THEY ARE ABLE TO OFFER UNLESS A RECALL IS ISSUED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE SERVICE ENGINE AND SEAT BELT SENSORS SUDDENLY ILLUMINATED. A MESSAGE DISPLAYED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL INDICATING "DATA ERROR". THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE SPEEDOMETER STOPPED OPERATING DURING THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE OPERATED NORMALLY ONCE THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURES SOON RECURRED. THE DEALER STATED THAT MULTIPLE SENSORS WERE FAULTY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 64,000.

GAUGES ON DASH STOP WORKING. TOOL SYMBOL SHOWS UP ALSO TIRE PRESSURE WARNING AND EXCLAMATION MARK. CARSTARTS TO SLOW DOWN. WHEN CAR IS PUT IN REVERSE IT MAKES A LOUD CLUCKING NOISE. LIKE THE MOTOR IS GONNA FALL OUT. CAN'T DRIVE IT FORWARD BUT U CAN GO IN REVERSE. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. IF YOU LET THE CAR SIT FOR A FEW DAYS IT GOES BACK TO NORMAL. THIS HAS TO BE A SERIOUS PROBLEM BECAUSE LOTS OF PEOPLE ON YOUTUBE HAVE POSTED VIDEOS OF THE SAME PROBLEM! NOW I'M STUCK OVER 100 MILES AWAY FROM HOME. NOT COOL FORD!!!!! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING.

THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

THE BRAKE BOOSTER FAILED MAKING THE VEHICLE VERY SLOW TO RESPOND TO STOPPING. HAD THE NEED FOR A EMERGENCY STOP OCCURRED THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT. I AM TOLD BY THE MECHANIC THAT REPAIRED THE VEHICLE THAT THIS PART RARELY FAILS AND NOT IN A VEHICLE WITH SO FEW MILES RELATIVE TO THE PART. *TR

I BOUGHT BRAND NEW A 2008 FORD EDGE I HAVE HAD SO MUCH TROUBLE WITH IT AND IT HAS BEEN IN SHOP SO MANY TIMES AND THEY STILL CAN'T FIGURE IT OUT. FROM TRANSMISSION TO HOT TEMP, BEARINGS IN TIRE BEING MELTED WITH UNDER 60,000 MILES!!!! I HAVE REPAIRED BRAKE BOOSTER TWICE!!! *TR

I BOUGHT MY 2008 BRAND NEW. AT 39,000MI I TOOK TO DEALERSHIP AFTER NOTICING THE TRANSMISSION LAGGING, SLIPPING, LOUD VERY HARD SHIFTS. ALSO WAS PARKING AT THE GROCERY STORE WHEN I PULLED INTO SPOT, WITH FOOT ON THE BREAK CAR LURCHED AND ENGINE REVVED. IF IT HADN'T HAD MY FOOT ON BREAK IT COULD HAVE HIT SOMEONE. OF COURSE DEALERSHIP COULDN'T REPLICATE, WAS TOLD TO BRING BACK WHEN IT DIDN'T IT MORE REGULARLY. AT 59,000 I TOOK IT BACK IN AFTER SEVER TIMES OF LOUD/HARD SHIFT AND JERKING LIKE I HAD BEEN REAR ENDED BY SOMETHING. AS WELL AS BEING ON A ROAD TRIP WHERE IT FELT LIKE IT SLIPPED OUT OF GEAR AND THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. I PULLED TO SIDE OF ROAD AND CALLED FORD. THEY SAID TO TURN CAR OFF AND BACK ON. WRENCH LIGHT WENT OFF AND CAR SEEMED FINE. THEN WHILE ON INTERSTATE IT REVVED REALLY HIGH AGAIN BUT CAR FELT LIKE IT WAS IN NEUTRAL, IT WOULDN'T ACCELERATE WHEN I PUSHED THE GAS. PULLED OFF AGAIN AND CUT OFF AND BACK ON AND IT SEEMED FINE. DEALERSHIP WAS ABLE TO REPLICATE, BUT RESULTS INCONCLUSIVE. WAS TOLD TO BRING BACK IF HAPPENED AGAIN. AT 83,000 IT IS BACK IN, IT HAS BEEN LOUDLY SHIFTING WITH THE BIG JERK LIKE BEFORE THIS TIME MORE FREQUENTLY AND ALSO WAS COMING OFF EXIT RAMP OF INTERSTATE AND AT STOP LIGHT, CAR WAS IN DRIVE,BUT WOULDN'T GO, FELT LIKE IT WAS SITTING IN NEUTRAL AGAIN. DEALERSHIP HAS HAD IT FOR 3 DAYS AND FOUND METAL SHAVINGS IN TRANSMISSION. WILL NOT CONFIRM THIS IS COVERED BY WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH IT IS AN EXISTING ISSUE. CAN NOT PROMISE FOR WILL HONOR REP

WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE, THERE WAS LITTLE ACCELERATION EVEN THOUGH I HAD THE ACCELERATOR TO THE FLOOR. I CONTINUED ON AND AFTER A LITTLE WHILE, ABOUT 2 MILES, THE CAR RAN ALRIGHT AND I MADE IT HOME SAFELY.
