2008 Ford Edge complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE REVERSING, THE BRAKES FAILED TO ENGAGE AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKE HAD TO BE ENGAGED TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE POWER BOOSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 75,000.

THREE DAYS AFTER PASSING MY ANNUAL TEXAS STATE INSPECTION WHILE DRIVING THROUGH TOWN I INITIATED MY LEFT TURN SIGNAL ONLY TO HAVE THE INDICATOR BLINK VERY QUICKLY (NOT THE NORMAL TICK-TICK-TICK BLINK). THIS HAD HAPPENED A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO SO I KNEW ONE OF THE BULBS HAD BURNED OUT ON THE LEFT SIDE. I WENT TO THE LOCAL AUTO PARTS STORE, PURCHASED REPLACEMENT TAIL LIGHT BULBS & BULB GREASE AND ASKED IF THEY COULD CHANGE IT OUT FOR ME. UPON REMOVING THE COVERS, THE YOUNG MAN DISCOVERED A FRIED/MELTED ASSEMBLY. THERE IS NO WAY TO REMOVE THE BULB IT IS SO MELTED IN THE SOCKET AND THE SOCKET IS DISCOLORED FROM THE HEAT. THAT MUST HAVE BEEN SOME POWER SURGE TO DO THAT KIND OF DAMAGE. *TR

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

2008 FORD EDGE: I WAS STOPPED AT AN INTERSECTION PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC AFTER DRIVING NORMALLY FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES. WHEN I HIT THE ACCELERATOR THEIR WAS NO POWER AND THE CAR INCHED FORWARD AT LOW SPEED AND THE RPMS INCREASED DRAMATICALLY. I WAS ABLE TO HIT THE BRAKE BEFORE AN ONCOMING VEHICLE ALMOST HIT MY DRIVERS SIDE AS I WAS ATTEMPTING TO TAKE A LEFT. ONCE I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER IN A SAFE LOCATION, I PUT IT IN PARK AND TRIED TO RE-ENGAGE THE TRANSMISSION IN DRIVE. THE VEHICLE WAS STILL UNRESPONSIVE, NO POWER TO ACCELERATE. I THEN SHUT OFF THE CAR AND RESTARTED AND THE CAR BEHAVED NORMALLY AFTER THE RESTART. I HAVE HAD THIS CAR FOR 3 YEARS WITH NO SIMILAR ISSUES. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE THERE IS NO WARNING SIGN AND THE CAR DOES NOT ACCELERATE AS EXPECTED. I WAS LUCKY THAT I WAS ABLE TO STOP IN TIME WITHOUT GETTING HIT BY THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE RUBBER AROUND THE REAR WINDOWS WAS MELTING. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT IT WAS NOT THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TO REPAIR THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 43,000.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY 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 SPEED BEGAN TO DECREASE, AGAIN I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY. I GOT OFF AN EXIT ABOUT 1.5 MILES FROM WHEN I NOTICED THE PROBLEM START. AFTER SLOWING DOWN AT THE END OF THE EXIT I NOTICED MY CAR WOULD BARELY MOVE AND IT SLOWLY CREPT UNTIL I WAS AT A SAFE SPOT TO PARK. AS SOON AS I PARKED OTHER WARNING LIGHTS BEGAN FLASHING SUCH AS THE TIRE PRESSURE SIGN AND ANOTHER THAT I CAN NOT REMEMBER. 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 AS IF I WAS BEING REAR ENDED. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON MULTIPLE TIMES AND CHANGED THE GEARS AND EACH TIME IT DID THE SAME THING. 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 AND MY CAR IS CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP. PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT I EXPERIENCED OCCASIONAL JERKING WHILE DRIVING AND THE CAR WAS SWITCHING GEARS. *TR

WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE THE POWER TRAIN PROBLEM INDICATOR LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON AND THE CAR LOSES ALL POWER. CAR WILL NOT EXCEED 900 RPM AND WILL BARELY MOVE. I HAD THE TROUBLE CODES READ AND IT IS INDICATING THAT THE THROTTLE IS SHOWING STUCK CLOSED AND OPEN. I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE AS WITH SEVERAL OTHER FORD MODELS AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN PART OF THE EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT COVERED THE THROTTLE BODIES FROM SEVERAL OTHER MODELS. THIS ISSUE POSES A SERIOUS SAFETY RISK DO TO THE FACT THAT IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, IF THIS WERE TO HAPPEN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC IT COULD BE HORRIBLE. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM EXTENSIVELY ONLINE AND FOUND THAT IT IS A FAIRLY COMMON ISSUE WITH THE EDGE. *TR

WHILE TRYING TO GET ON THE HIGHWAY AT AROUND 40 TO 50 MPH THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND STARTED TO HESITATE. THE RPMS WENT UP BUT THE SHIFT DID NOT HAPPEN FOR MANY SECONDS LATER AND WITH A LOUD CLUNK WHEN IT DID SHIFT AND THEN WE WOULD ACCELERATE AND IT WOULD MAKE A SOUND AGAIN AND DOWN SHIFT. WE HAVE TAKEN IT TO DEALER AND THEY DO NOT FIND ANY PROBLEM. AFTER READING ON THE INTERNET OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR 2008 FORD EDGE AWD LIMITED, I CANNOT BELIEVE THERE IS NOT A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM. *JS

I OWN A 2008 FORD EDGE. RECENTLY I NOTICED MY EDGE HAVING A HARD TIME SHIFTING INTO FAST MODE. I TOOK IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP, NOTHING IS WRONG. TODAY IT WAS HORRIBLE!!! I GET TO THE STOP LIGHT, MY EDGE WOULD NOT "TAKE OFF" LIKE THE OTHER CARS. I SAT THERE EMBARRASSED FOR TWO MINS TRYING TO PRESS THE ACCELERATOR, EDGE FINALLY JERKED AND THEN TOOK OFF. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN FORD. I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY HAVE NOT RECALLED THIS EDGE. NOW, I HAVE TO PAY TO GET EDGE FIXED WHEN FORD COULD FIX THE ISSUE,. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS VEHICLE. *TR

TRANSMISSION IS BAD AND HAS BEEN SERVICED SEVERAL TIMES AND CONTINUES TO HAVE PROBLEMS. *TR

ENTERING HIGHWAY AND AUTO WOULD NOT SHIFT GEARS OR ACCELERATE. STAYED IDLE AT OVER 5 RPM'S AND HAD TO PULL OFF THE ROAD. SEEMED LIKE A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. TOWED TO REPAIR SHOP FOR ASSESSMENT.STILL AT SHOP. THIS VEHICLE ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS BEFORE THIS INCIDENT HAS REGULARLY ENGAGED IN A VIOLENT JERK WHEN I HAVE ENGAGED IT IN DRIVE OR REVERSE. SEEMS LIKE A TRANSMISSION ISSUE BUT DEALER WONT DO ANYTHING UNLESS THEY CAN DUPLICATE PROBLEM. I HAVE SEEN AND KNOW OF NUMEROUS OTHER FORD EDGE OWNERS THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE AND NO FIX HAS BEEN FOUND OR DEALER AND FORD WONT FIX UNLESS IT DUPLICATED THE ISSUE WHILE THEY HAVE THE VEHICLE AND MOST TIMES ITS SOMETHING NOT COVERED. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND THEY NEED TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. *JS

THE "DRIVER DOOR AJAR" MESSAGE CONTINUES TO GO OFF ON OUR 2008 FORD EDGE. THE DOOR IS SECURELY CLOSED. THE LIGHTS WILL STAY ON FINALLY CAUSING A COMPLETE DRAIN ON OUR BATTERY LAST NIGHT DURING THE NIGHT. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY CONCERN AS THE DOORS DO NOT LOCK SOMETIME UNTIL SEVERAL MILES DOWN THE ROAD. WE COULD ALSO BE LEFT STRANDED SOMEWHERE AS WE NEVER KNOW WHEN IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN. WE GO TO BED ALL LIGHTS ARE OFF AND SOMETIME DURING THE NIGHT THEY COME ON. WE HAVE TRIED SEVERAL SUGGESTIONS REGARDING ENGINE LUBRICANT ON THE PLUNGER, BUT IT IS A TEMP FIX AT BEST. THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE IT FIXED BY FORD. CLEARLY IF YOU DO RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH THE FORD EDGES FOR SEVERAL YEARS.

RIGHT BRAKE LIGHT AND TURN SIGNAL KEEP BLOWING AND LOOK BURNT. *TR

FUEL TANK LARGE LEAKAGE IN THE AREA OF AN POSSIBLY IGNITION SOURCE. LEAKAGE ON ELECTRICAL WIRES, COULD CAUSE FIRE. UNABLE TO DRIVE SAFE. *TR

I HAVE A 2008 FORD EDGE SEL. WHEN TURNING ON MY LEFT BLINKER IT WAS BLINKING RAPIDLY WHICH I KNEW INDICATED A LIGHT WAS OUT. I FOUND THAT IT WAS MY DRIVER SIDE REAR BLINKER/TAIL LIGHT. I WENT TO THE STORE AND PURCHASED THE BULB. WHEN I GOT HOME TO REPLACE IT I FOUND THAT I COULD NOT REMOVE THE BULB AS THE SOCKET HAS MELTED. I SEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND THAT THIS IS COMMON FOR THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE. *TR

I SEE SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON YOUR WEB SITE, ABOUT ROUGH SHIFTING INTO REVERSE FROM THE PARKED POSITION AND WHEN BACKING UP FROM THE DRIVE POSITION. IS THERE A PLANED RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE? *TR

THIS OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES WITH MY FORD EDGE. I WILL BE DRIVING A HIGHWAY SPEEDS, AND ON THE DASHBOARD: 1. THE ODOMETER TURNS FROM NUMBERS TO DASHES 2. THE SPEEDOMETER STOPS WORKING 3. VARIOUS SERVICES LIGHTS WILL TURN ON (EACH TIME IT HAPPENED, DIFFERENT LIGHTS CAME ON) THEN,I BRAKE TO A FULL STOP, THE CAR LOSES ALL THROTTLE, AND I'M BARELY ABLE TO ACCELERATE. WHEN I GO TO SHIFT GEARS, THERE IS A HARSH, CLUNKING NOISE IN THE TRANSMISSION AS I'M SHIFTING. I WAS TOLD THIS WAS A DEFECT IN THE SPEED SENSORS BUT IT OCCURRED A TOTAL OF 4 TIMES IN ABOUT 8 MONTHS. I HAD TO TRADE THE CAR IN BECAUSE IT WAS BECOMING TOO UNSAFE TO DRIVE. *TR

AFTER NEARLY 6 YEARS I THOUGHT I WOULD CHANGE THE BRAKES.WIFE WAS HEARING A GRINDING NOISE. I THOUGHT WE WERE WE'LL OVERDO ON THEM ANYWAYS. WHEN I WENT TO CHANGE THEM I WAS INSPECTING THEM AND FOUND THE PASSENGER SIDE PADS WERE BARELY WORN THEY LOOKED ALMOST NEW. THE DRIVER SIDE OUTER PAD LOOKED THE SAME PRACTICALLY NEW THE INNER PAD ON THE DRIVERS SIDE WAS WORN DOWN TO ABOUT 1/16 TO THE END OF THE PAD I FEEL THIS WARRANTS SOME KIND OF ACTION ON BEHALF OF FORD THANKS. *TR

I HAVE A 2008 FORD EDGE SEL THAT BEGINNING LAST YEAR STARTED HESITATING BETWEEN 1ST AND 2ND GEARS AND 1500-2000 RPM'S. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE COMPUTER FOR THE TRANSMISSION UPDATED AND IT DIDN'T FIX THE ISSUE. THE DEALERSHIP CAN'T SEEM TO FIGURE OUT THE EXACT PROBLEM. BUT THERE ARE A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE REPORTING THIS ONLINE AS WELL. FORD NEEDS TO PUT A RECALL OUT SO THAT CONSUMERS LIKE ME CAN HAVE THIS ISSUE FIXED. THE CAR ALSO BANGS WHEN PUT INTO REVERSE. PLEASE HELP! *TR

MAKING A LEFT TURN USING MY TURN SIGNAL, THE TURN SIGNAL LAMP ON THE DASHBOARD STARTED TO FLASH VERY RAPIDLY. I RECOGNIZED THIS AS A BURNED-OUT LAMP. AFTER STOPPING I CHECKED TO FIND THE LEFT REAR LAMP WAS NOT BLINKING. THE BASIC RUNNING LIGHT WORKED HOWEVER. UPON REMOVING THE ASSEMBLY, I FOUND THE LAMP SOCKET PARTIALLY MELTED AND CHARRED. I REMOVED THE LAMP, WHICH TESTED OUT TO BE GOOD. THE SOCKET HAD FAILED. I THEN REMOVED THE RIGHT-HAND REAR LAMP ASSEMBLY AND FOUND THAT IT HAS BEEN VERY HOT AS WAS SOMEWHAT CHARRED. I WILL REPLACE BOTH. *TR

RIGHT REAR TURN SIGNAL WAS NOT WORKING. WHEN I WENT TO REPLACE THE BULB, I NOTICED THE BASE OF THE BULB HAD MELTED, THE SOCKET WAS SLIGHTLY DEFORMED AND DISCOLORED WITH SOOT. I CHECKED ONLINE AND FOUND SEVERAL HUNDRED POSTINGS OF THE SAME PROBLEM WITH FORD EDGE CARS FROM MANY DIFFERENT MODEL YEARS. CURIOUS HOW MANY IT TAKES FOR A RECALL. *TR

WRENCH LIGHT AND AIRBAG LIGHT ON, LOST ACCELERATION ON INCOMING TRAFFIC, VIOLENT JERK WHEN SWITCHING FROM DRIVE TO PARK AND VICE VERSA. MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ALL OVER THE INTERNET WITH SAME ISSUE. ACTS LIKE A TRANSMISSION ISSUE WHEN IT'S JUST FAULTY SENSOR TSS AND OR OSS SENSOR NEEDS REPLACEMENT TO FIX THE ISSUE. *TR

TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO BE A ISSUE WITH THE FORD EDGE. WHY HAS THERE NOT BEEN A RECALL ON THIS PRODUCT? SO MANY COMPLAINTS ON THE FORD EDGE TRANSMISSION. I WITNESS THIS FIRST HAND, MAY 2, 2014. WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGH WAY, MY CAR OUT OF KNOW WHERE SEEM TO HAVE LOST POWER. THE ONLY THING THAT WAS MOVING WAS THE RPM, BUT THE CAR WAS SLOWING DOWN. FINALLY AFTER PULLING TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY, AND TURNING THE CAR OFF, IT RESET SOME HOW AND AT LEAST GOT ME TO WORK. I HAD TO GET THE CAR TOWED FROM WORK BACK HOME BECAUSE I DID NOT WANT TO RUN INTO THE SAME ISSUE. I DID RESEARCH AND SEEMS LIKE I HAVE NOT BEEN THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS ISSUE. MATTER OF FACT THERE IS A LONG LIST ON YOU TUBE. WHAT HAS FORD DONE TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE. OTHER THAN REPEATEDLY TAKING INCOME FROM HARD WORKING CONSUMERS, FOR A ISSUE THAT HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. *TR

INVESTIGATION SUBJECT : ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY MALFUNCTION NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: PE13003 MUST INCLUDE 2008 FORD EDGE TO RECALL LIST!! HAD A VERY CLOSE CALL. VEHICLE SHUT OFF WHILE MAKING TURN WITH ON COMING TRAFFIC. DEALER SAYS THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO BECAUSE THIS MODEL IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL OF THE DEFECTIVE THROTTLE BODIES! THERE ARE WAY TOO MANY FORD EDGE OWNERS WITH THIS PROBLEM TO BE IGNORED IN THIS RECALL. THANK YOU ! *TR

DRIVERS SIDE REAR TURN SIGNAL BULB BURNT OUT. WHEN REPLACED IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT BOTH REAR LIGHT SOCKETS WERE BURNT BLACK AND BEGINNING TO MELT. THE MECHANIC REPLACING THE BULBS INFORMED ME THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH FORD EDGES. *JS

ON DEC 6, 2013,WHEN STARTING THE CAR AFTER SITTING FOR<3 HOURS THEN SHIFTING THE CAR INTO GEAR THE CAR ACTS LIKE IT IS NOT IN GEAR, RACES THE ENGINE AND THE SPEEDOMETER SHOWS A SPEED UNRELATED TO ACTUAL MOVEMENT. THERE IS SLOW MOVEMENT BUT NO ACTUAL GEAR ENGAGEMENT. CAR WAS TAKEN TO LOCAL FORD DEALER WHO SPENT SEVERAL DAYS TO REPAIR THE TRANSMISSION. ONE APRIL 20 THE SAME EPISODE OCCURRED BUT THIS TIME I WAS PULLING INTO TRAFFIC WHICH COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. THE SAME SYMPTOMS OCCURRED. *TR

THE REAR TAIL LIGHT SOCKETS FOR THE TAIL/BRAKE LIGHT LAMPS ARE BADLY BURNED ON BOTH SIDES. WE NOTICED THE PROBLEM WHEN WE CHANGED THE TAIL LIGHT HOUSING DUE TO WATER VAPOR BUILD UP. ONLY THE RIGHT SIDE HAD THE VISIBLE WATER VAPOR. BOTH SIDES HAD THE BURNED LAMP SOCKETS. THE CAR WAS PURCHASED USED. *TR

A 1995 LANDROVER RAN A STOPLIGHT AND T-BONED MY VEHICLE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. A SECOND CAR HIT THE BACK OF MY CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE AT A COMPLETE STOP, THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR, THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM, AND AIR BAG WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE LOST ACCELERATION POWER AND FAILED TO SHIFT GEARS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 72,000.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2008 FORD EDGE IT WOULD NOT SHIFT THAN A LOUD BANG AND SLAMMED INTO GEAR ,WENT FOR A SHORT TIME THEN WOULD NOT SHIFT LIGHTS CAME ON DASH BOARD TECH REVED UP NO SPEEDOMETER. *TT

DRIVER'S SIDE REAR TURN SIGNAL LIGHT QUIT. THE SOCKET WAS BURNED. REPLACED IT. SAME PROBLEM SEVERAL MONTHS LATER ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. REAR TURN SIGNAL, SOCKET WAS BURNED. NOW (APRIL 13, 2014) THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR TURN SIGNAL HAS BURNED UP AGAIN. THE SOCKET IS BLACK, LAMP IS EXTREMELY OVERHEATED AND DESTROYED. *JS

2008 FORD EDGE. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO POWER TRAIN MALFUNCTION. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED TWICE THIS YEAR, SHE EXPERIENCED POWER TRAIN MALFUNCTION, WHERE THE VEHICLE LOST POWER. *JB

THE CAR SEEMS TO RUN FINE IN TOWN. IF IT IS DRIVEN ABOUT 20 MILES OR SO ON THE HIGHWAY, IT DEVELOPS THE FOLLOWING DRIVE TRAIN PROBLEM. WHEN THE VEHICLE SLOWS OR COMES TO A STOP AND THE DRIVER THEN ACCELERATES, SUCH AS WHEN DRIVING IN STOP-AND-GO TRAFFIC ON THE FREEWAY OR LEAVING A STOP LIGHT, IT SEEMS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION AND ENGINE QUIT TALKING TO EACH OTHER AND THEY COME UNCOUPLED DURING SHIFTING. SINCE THE GAS PEDAL IS DEPRESSED FOR ACCELERATING, DURING THE SHIFT, THE ENGINE RPM REVS UP TO PERHAPS 3000 AND THEN THE TRANSMISSION ABRUPTLY SHIFTS RESULTING IN A HEAVY SHOCK TO THE DRIVE LINE. IT DOES THIS BETWEEN EACH GEAR DURING ACCELERATION UPSHIFTING. IF THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED AND THE TRANSMISSION IS SHIFTED INTO REVERSE, THERE IS A DELAY AND THEN IT SHIFTS INTO REVERSE RESULTING IN A SIMILAR HEAVY SHOCK. I HAD SEVERAL OCCURRENCES WHERE I CAME OFF THE FREEWAY AND STOPPED AT THE LIGHT AND UPON ATTEMPTING TO GET GOING AGAIN, THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING AND WOULD REV UP BUT THE TRANSMISSION WAS NOT ENGAGED. I SHIFTED INTO PARK AND BACK INTO DRIVE AND THE VEHICLE FINALLY GOT GOING AGAIN WITH THE SAME SYMPTOMS NOTED ABOVE. IT SEEMS TO REACT THE SAME REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE OD IS ENGAGED OR DISENGAGED. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO ONE OF THE LOCAL FORD STORES SEVERAL WEEKS AGO AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT RECREATE THE SYMPTOMS. I TOOK IT TO A DIFFERENT SERVICE DEPARTMENT PERHAPS A MONTH LATER AND THEY COULD NOT FIND A REAL PROBLEM BUT SAID ALL THE CODES WERE FINE. THEY DELETED THE ADAPTI

MY WIFE AND I WERE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ON. AT RANDOM THE CARE KICKED OUT ON CRUISE AND THE SPEEDOMETER WAS NOT WORKING, WE ALSO HAD TIRE PRESSURE WARNING, ENGINE SERVICE WARNING, AIR BAG WARNING AND NO ODOMETER. WE MADE IT TO THE FREEWAY EXIST, HOWEVER WHEN WE WENT TO ACCELERATE THE CAR BARELY MOVED. THE ENGINE WOULD REV AT HIGH RPM'S BUT WOULD JUST CRAWL. WE MADE IT TO OUR HOUSE (BARELY) AND PARKED THE CAR. THE SHIFT INTO PARK WAS VERY VIOLENT AND MADE THE CARE JUMP. WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE I WOULD SHIFT FROM P TO N, THEN N TO R, THEN R TO D AND SAME ORDER BACK TO PARK. EACH CHANGE WAS VERY VIOLENT. I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF, LET IT SIT FOR ABOUT 1 MINUTE, TURNED THE CAR BACK ON AND THE WARNING LIGHTS WERE GONE AND THE ODOMETER WAS BACK TO NORMAL. HOWEVER, WHEN I WENT TO DRIVE AGAIN THE SHIFT WAS STILL VIOLENT, I HAD NOT POWER (HIGH REV AND BARELY MOVED) AND NO SPEEDOMETER. THE CAR IS CURRENTLY IN MY DRIVEWAY WITH THAT BEING THE CURRENT STATE. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND THIS APPEAR TO BE A VERY COMMON ISSUE FOR THESE VEHICLES. *TR

NOISE COMING FROM THE RIGHT, REAR WHEEL AREA AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. SOUNDS LIKE A LIGHT RUMBLE STRIP SOUND AND A LIGHT SQUEALING/GRINDING ALSO. TOOK IT TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHO SAYS THE BEARINGS ARE BAD. FORD NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE. IT'S SEEMS TO BE AN EXISTING PROBLEM ON THESE EDGES AND RECURRING PROBLEMS AS WELL. *TR

HERE IS THE LINK TO AN EXACT DETAILED EXPLANATION. WHEN I LOST POWER MY CAR ROLLED INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION AND WAS HIT. HTTP://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=LDWPAFPVU0O3. *TR

EXITS OFF HIGHWAY, CAR ENGINE BEGINS TO STALL. CAR WAS TAKING TO SHOP FOR REPAIR CAR CONTINUES TO STALL, ENGINE IS IN, AND THERE IS A CODE OF A FUEL SYSTEM PROBLEM. *TR

AFTER STARTING CAR, VEHICLE MADE LOUD CLUNK SOUND WHEN PUT IN REVERSE. CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WITHOUT PRESSING ACCELERATOR MORE THAN USUAL AND ENGINE REVVED HIGH. DASH BOARD WENT BLANK EXCEPT FOR WRENCH SYMBOL, AIRBAG SYMBOL AND ODOMETER HAD ALL DASHES. TURNED CAR OFF, WAITED A FEW MINUTES, TURNED CAR BACK ON AND EVERYTHING WAS BACK TO NORMAL, CAR DROVE FINE. THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 5 TIMES WITHIN THE PAST 3 YEARS, SEVERAL MONTHS APART. HAVE ALSO HAD TO REPLACE REAR TAIL LIGHTS MULTIPLE TIMES, SOMETIMES WITHIN 2 DAYS OF REPLACEMENT. HAVE TAKEN CAR TO FORD SERVICE, BUT THEY CAN'T PINPOINT PROBLEM. NOW CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY. SEEMS LIKE IT COULD BE ELECTRICAL OR SENSORS. HAVE READ AND SEEN VIDEOS OF MANY OTHERS WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL. WISH FORD WOULD HELP OWNERS LIKE OURSELVES WITH A RECALL TO FIX THIS, AS OUR LOYALTY HAS GONE AWAY WITH FRUSTRATION. HAVE JUST TODAY, 03/27/14 HAD MY CAR TOWED TO REPAIR SHOP TO CHECK TRANSMISSION. THE DASHBOARD HAS RETURNED TO NORMAL, BUT LOUD CLUNK WHEN SHIFTING AND WILL NOT ACCELERATE WITHOUT FLOORING IT. *TR

BRAKES FADE, BECOME MUSHY, PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR. DOES NOT STOP AT LIGHTS SOMETIMES CAUSING ME TO PUT IN PARK WHILE MOVING. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER'S SIDE DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHO STATED THAT THE ACTUATOR WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE DRIVER'S DOOR AND THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR WERE PREVIOUSLY REPLACED FOR THE EXACT SAME FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURE WAS ALERTED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000.

I HAVE A 2008 FORD EDGE. WE WERE OVER AN HOUR AWAY FROM HOME, ON A SUNDAY, WHEN WE STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT AND WHEN I WAS TAKING OFF, THE VEHICLE WOULD REV BUT NOT GO, THEN WHEN IT DID ENGAGE, THERE WAS A HARD THUD TWICE. I WAS REALLY AFRAID THAT WE MIGHT NOT MAKE IT BACK HOME AS WELL AS MAKING IT THROUGH THE INTERSECTION. WE DID MAKE IT HOME WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT THAT DAY. I MADE AN APPT TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT I PURCHASED IT FROM ON WEDNESDAY. THERE WERE NO INCIDENTS UNTIL TUESDAY NIGHT WHEN WE WERE COMING HOME FROM THE GROCERY STORE. FROM A STOP AT A STOP SIGN IT DID THE SAME THING, BUT NOT A HARD. THE DEALERSHIP WAS UNABLE TO PULL ANY CODES OR GET IT TO ACT UP THAT FIRST DAY. I ASKED THEM TO KEEP IT AND TO TRY ONCE AGAIN. IT DID ACT UP FOR THE GUY, BUT THEY COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS GOING ON. THEY RECOMMENDED THAT I TAKE IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF THEY COULD FIGURE IT OUT. I TOOK IT IN TODAY AND THEY CALLED TO TELL ME THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO PULL ANY CODES OR GET IT TO ACT UP. SO NOW I AM PAYING THEM $135 JUST TO TELL ME THE SAME THING THE OTHER DEALERSHIP DIDN'T CHARGE ME FOR. ON TOP OF THAT, I DRIVE 45 MILES ROUND TRIP TO WORK 5 DAYS A WEEK AND AM AFRAID OF THIS HAPPENING ON THE BUSY INTERSTATE THAT I TRAVEL OR HAPPENING AT A BUSY INTERSECTION. I HAVE READ MANY STATEMENTS BY PEOPLE AND IT SEEMS THEY ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THE SAME RESULTS...NOTHING! FORD NEEDS TO STEP UP AND MAKE SURE THE PEOPLE WHO BUY THEIR VEHICLES ARE HAPPY AND W

ON THE WAY HOME FROM A VACATION, WE PULLED INTO A FAST FOOD RESTAURANT TO GET A QUICK BITE TO EAT. UPON LEAVING THE RESTAURANT, WE STARTED THE VEHICLE AND EVERYTHING SEEMED NORMAL. ABOUT THREE MINUTES INTO OUR DRIVE HOME, THE DASH LIGHTS CAME ON (SPECIFICALLY THE WRENCH AND AIR BAG LIGHTS) AND THE VEHICLE LOST ALL THROTTLE POWER. WE QUICKLY PULLED OVER AND TURNED OFF THE CAR TO SEE IF WE COULD DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM OURSELVES. AFTER BEING UNSUCCESSFUL AT IDENTIFYING THE PROBLEM, WE STARTED THE CAR AGAIN AND ATTEMPTED TO PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE. THE TRANSMISSION PRODUCED A LOUD "CLUNKING" SOUND. EACH TIME YOU TRIED TO CHANGE GEARS (I.E. REVERSE TO DRIVE), THERE WOULD BE AN EXTREMELY HARSH ENGAGEMENT AND THE GEAR CHANGE WOULD BE ROUGH, EACH TIME PRODUCING A LOUD "CLUNK". I BROUGHT THE CAR TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHO ADVISED THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH FORD EDGE'S, IN FACT; THERE IS A TSB BULLETIN (07-21-11) REGARDING THE ISSUE. THIS PROBLEM STEMS FROM A SHORT IN THE OUTPUT SHAFT SPEED (OSS) SENSOR AND THE TURBINE SHAFT SPEED (TSS) SENSORS. AS I READ THE TSB BULLETIN, THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE COVERED BY THE MANUFACTURES EMISSIONS WARRANTY, THE DEALERSHIP DISAGREES. THIS ISSUE CAN BE FOUND IN ABUNDANCE WITH THE 2008 FORD EDGE VEHICLE. IN A BRIEF SEARCH ONLINE, I FOUND A LARGE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS SAME PROBLEM FROM OWNER EDGE OWNERS. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE AND IT SHOULD HAPPEN IMMEDIATELY. IN THIS INSTANCE, I WASN'T IN HARM'S WAY, BUT IN PRE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A STRONG PERSISTENT ODOR OF GASOLINE COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO BE DIAGNOSED WHERE THE DEALER ADVISED THAT THE FUEL TANK WELD WAS FRACTURED, CAUSING THE FUEL TO LEAK OUT OF THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURE STATED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 08V301000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE) DID NOT INCLUDE THE CONTACT'S VIN. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 124,227.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, A FUEL ODOR WAS EMITTED FROM THE VEHICLE AND THERE WAS A VISIBLE FUEL LEAK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSIS WHO INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE FUEL TANK WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 08V301000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 109,000.

FOR OVER A YEAR WHEN MY CAR HAD LESS THAN 100K AND STILL UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY MY TRANSMISSION STARTED SLIPPING AND SLAMMING INTO GEAR ON TAKEOFF. I TOOK TO FORD DEALER SHIP AND THEY RAN DISNOSTICS AND FOUND NOTHING WRONG BUT REPROGRAMED THE COMPUTER. THAT DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. THE CAR CONTINUES TO TODAYS TO SLIP AND SLAM ON TAKE OFF, THE ODOMETER BOUNCES AND THE ENGINE START CUTTING OUT/LOOSING POWER. AGAIN THE DEALER SAID IF THE COMPUTER IS NOT SETTING CODES THEY CANNOT FIX. NOW AT 110K OUT OF WARRANTY THE PROBLEM CONTINUES JUST GETTING WORSE. I BELIEVE BY READING THE BLOGS THAT THIS IS A LARGE ISSUE THAT FORD KNOWS ABOUT BUT REFUSES TO ADMIT BAD TRANSMISSION DESIGN AND WILL NOT RECALL. I THINK THEY SHOULD EITHER FIX THE ISSUE AT THEIR COST OR BUY BACK THE VEHCILE. I AM SURE THE MAIN ISSUE IS THE COST TO FORD TO FIX THE ISSUE AND THEY KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. THEY ARE MORE WORRIED THEIR STOCK HOLDERS THAT THEIR CUSTOMERS. I GUESS THEY WILL NEED A BAILOUT IF THEY KEEP THIS TREND UP. I USED TO HOLD FORD AS A QUALITY COMPANY, WITH QUALITY PRODUCTS, BUT NO LONGER. THE FOREIGN CAR COMPANIES ARE PRODUCING A BETTER QUALITY PRODUCT. I JUST WANT MY CAR FIXED OR REPLACED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WATER PUMP MALFUNCTIONED AND LEAKED INTO THE ENGINE, CAUSING THE ENGINE TO FAIL. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER TO HAVE THE ENGINE REPLACED. THE CONTACT DID NOT HAVE ANY ISSUES WITH THE ENGINE AFTER THE ENGINE WAS REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURE WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 125,300.

ON SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 16TH. BETWEEN THE HOURS OF 5PM AND 7PM, WHILE DRIVING, WE WERE HEARD A "POPPING" NOISE FROM THE FRONT OF THE CAR. WE ALSO NOTICED THE WINDSHIELD CRACKING AND THOUGHT THE NOISE WAS FROM THE WINDOW CRACKING. WHEN WE ARRIVED HOME, THE CAR WAS IN THE GARAGE SITTING AND WE HEARD THE CAR "POP" AGAIN. THE SAME THING HAPPENED SUNDAY WHILE GOING TO CHURCH AND HOME. MONDAY MORNING ON THE 19TH, MY WIFE PARKED IN THE SCHOOL PARKING LOT TO ATTEND A SCHOOL MEETING AND WHEN SHE CAME OUT, THE HOOD WAS UP AND THE FRONT WAS POPPED UP. WE TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALER AND THEY INDICATED THAT THE STRUT TOWER FAILED. THE MECHANIC INDICATED I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO DRIVE IT BECAUSE IT WAS A SAFETY RISK. THEY WERE SURPRISED THAT MY WIFE WAS ABLE TO DRIVE AND GLAD THAT IT DID NOT TOTALLY FAIL. IT WAS INDICATED THAT THE METAL ON THE FRAME OF THE STRUT TOWER FATIGUED AND IT CAUSED THE STRUT TOWER TO POP UP. I HAVE PICTURES IF ANYONE WOULD LIKE IT. THE VEHICLE MILEAGE AT THE TIME OF INCIDENT IS AN ESTIMATE. IT MAY BE A LITTLE LESS. *TR

DRIVER DOOR SAYS AJAR AND THE DOOR IS CLOSED. LIGHTS WON'T GO OFF. *TR

I HAVE TAKEN THIS EDGE TO THE FORD DEALER 3 TIMES BECAUSE OF SURGING AND THE RPM'S SURGING, CLUNKING, ETC. ALL THREE TIMES WAS TOLD NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT, NOW AT 80,000 IT HAS COMPLETELY LOST POWER AND THE TAC REVS TO 3 AND 4. I'M SOOOO FRUSTRATED THAT THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND AFTER 3 VISITS WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT, WE ARE LOOKING AT TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT!! *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE AND APPLY BRAKES AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP. THE BRAKES PEDAL BECAME LOCK AND THE VEHICLE SPEED UP AND I HIT THE CURB AND BOUNCE TO OTHER SIDE AND HIT CURB AGAIN THEN THE VEHICLE STOP. THANK GOD NOBODY WAS COMING AND I WAS NOT INJURE. *TR
