Rear driveshaft support failed while driving. A lot of smoke, noise and very bad vibration. Was traveling at a low speed(25mph). If the driveshaft had come apart, it could have easily caused damage to the body and its passengers. It also could've struck and damaged any vehicles near by. After speaking to the Ford dealer, they dais that it was a fairly common occurrence, which surprised me. Thanks for reading my complaint.

The transmission randomly gets stuck in 1st gear and won’t shift beyond that. The RPMs rev up real high and the only way to fix it is to pull off the road and turn the car off and back on. The transmission also bumps really hard shifting sometimes or revs up real high before shifting with a big thud. The dealership says they can’t diagnose it if it’s not doing it when I bring it in. They said the same thing about my alternator when it kept going out on me driving. They never could get it to mess up when they had it.

The contact owns a 2008 Ford Edge. The contact stated while approaching a stop sign, the vehicle lost motive power and stalled without warning. The contact was able to pull over on the side of the road, but the vehicle would not restart. The vehicle was towed to the dealer for diagnostic testing, but no failure was found. The contact stated that the failure persisted. On another occasion, while driving, the vehicle experienced hard shifting to 2nd gear and a delay in upshifting to the next gear. The manufacturer was contacted and stated there was no recall on the vehicle for the failure and advised the contact to file a complaint with the NHTSA Hotline. The approximate failure mileage was 120,000.

Transmission slipping like all the other complaints, should be a recall for sure after looking through all the same issues in this year of Ford Edge around 78K miles.

I own a 2008 Ford edge awd limited and yesterday while getting on the interstate my vehicle made a loud clunking sound I immediately pulled over I had it towed to the house and once it was evaluated we discovered that there was a crack in the transmission housing there was no prior signs of the problem when we started the vehicle and put it in reverse it wouldn't move killed the vehicle started back and put it in reverse and it moved but I will have to change the housing if not the whole transmission

SERVICE BRAKES

The component that failed was my Break Booster and I almost wasn't able to stop. I took my vehicle to my local independent service center and they said I am lucky and that the Break Booster broke and it was just hanging on by a little bit and that is the only reason I was able to stop my vehicle. No warning lamps came on that it broke or was not functioning properly. It took longer to stop and almost caused an accident. The Mechanic informed me this should never happen and to report my issue. I have not had it inspected by any authority but it was inspected by my personal mechanic at their Independent Shop.

My brakes on my car was not stopping when I was applying my brakes. I've taken good care of my car and I am the only owner of my edge. No warning signals-only 67k miles on my car. it happened several times within the last month. I took my car into Hansel Ford in Santa Rosa, CA where I bought my car in 2008. The brake booster needed replacing. It was a matter of life or death! So $1,000 later I had to pay. What? the same brake booster on 2011 edges were being replaced. This is a Ford defect problem. No one should drive a car that the brakes don't stop the car! No warning lights, messages, the part from Ford was defective. i had my car repaired at Hansel Ford in Santa Rosa, CA phone number 707.543.7460

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

Had 2008 Ford Edge Limited AWD looked at while servicing for oil etc. Fuel smell noted at rear of vehicle. When looked at noticed wet fuel tank. Fuel tank is still on vehicle. (Ford wants $4400 to replace it) Independent shop JP Automotive in North Haven CT and Bob Thomas Ford in Hamden CT confirm tank is leaking. Bob Thomas Ford says not part of Ford TSB #14S22 (NHTSA #10076517) or Ford TSB #14R02 (NHTSA #10076296) A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source may result in a fire. Causing danger to myself, my passengers, and others on the road. No warning lamps etc. Just a fuel smell at the rear of the vehicle that started.

Safety Recall [XXX] My vehicle falls into this recall yet the dealership and ford is saying it dose not. The vehicle was built at the Oakville Assembly Plant during the time of recall specs. I believe June 2007. The vehicle is in Wisconsin which also falls into the recall specs. The fuel tank has the leak in the areas spoke of in the recall, Ford is not doing anything about it. We received a case number 6 months ago and never heard back from them. This is a serious issue. The dealership gave us a estimate of almost $4000. something we can not afford. Please help.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Purchased a duralast battery from AutoZone store #1299 in Hialeah in August 3rd and installed it. The staff was insistent that this battery was a direct replacement part for my lead acid battery. The car drove normally for approximately a month, and on the morning of September 6th started normally with no warning lights. After being driven less than a quarter mile, in slow-moving traffic, the car suddenly lost all power and large amounts of smoke came from under the hood accompanied by a burning smell. This happened in an intersection during 830 AM traffic on a weekday and I was unable to immediately exit the vehicle. This could have been a fatal incident for myself or potentially others. It was towed to a mechanic who started disassembling it to determine the damages. As per the mechanic, there is evidence of an electrical fire - the cables connected to the battery have melted and the alternator (which was TESTED AND INSTALLED BRAND NEW LESS THAN 2 YEARS AGO) are damaged. The mechanics have also stated that the fans and cooling system have been affected, but not to what extent as they are still mid-teardown. When they attempted to put a load on the battery, it began to overheat dangerously, and they state that it is the likely culprit of the fire. I attempted to return the battery to the store I had purchased it at, where the staff were verbally abusive and insisting that it was impossible for a battery to cause an electrical fire and they'd never heard of such a thing, and that perhaps my mechanic was the one who had messed up my car. They refused to aceept a return, and kept telling me the battery was good. They provided me with a area manager phone number who is avoiding all communication. Meanwhile, I am without my vehicle, which requires EXTENSIVE ELECTRICAL REPAIRS and may be a total loss. If they are selling defective batteries to clients, they are putting the public at risk, doubly so by refusing to take any sort of accountability for their product.

REAR TAIL LIGHT BULBS ARE MELTING, SEVERAL TIMES NOW, AFTER DOING RESEARCH IT SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING TO A LOT OF PEOPLE, SO I SEE IT AS A SAFETY ISSUE. MY TURN SIGNAL WENT OUT AND WENT TO REPLACE IT AND DISCOVERED THE BULB WAS MELTED INTO THE SOCKET. (THIS HAPPENED THREE TIMES NOW, I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE ISSUE. (IT MAY BE A FACTORY ELECTRICAL DESIGN FLUKE)

BOTH THE REAR TAIL/STOP LIGHT BULB SOCKETS MELT FROM EXTREME BULB HEAT. THIS ISSUE IS POSTED BY OTHERS ALL OVER THE INTERNET. THIS IS A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD THAT SERIOUSLY NEEDS ADDRESSING BY FORD. IN THE PAST I REPLACED THE RIGHT REAR BULB WHICH IS WHEN I DISCOVERED THE ISSUE. YESTERDAY I HAD TO REPLACE THE LEFT REAR BULB AND DISCOVERD THAT SOCKET TOO IS MELTED ALONG WITH THE BASE OF THE BULB ITSELF.

THE SUNROOF STAYS OPEN AND CANNOT CLOSE UNLESS THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED AND MANUALLY FORCED CLOSE. THE SUNROOF MECHANISM TO CLOSE TO GLASS BREAKS EASILY. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE PANORAMIC SUNROOF, BUT IS EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE TO FIX. THE DEALERSHIP IS WANTING TO CHARGE BETWEEN $1900 - $2500 TO FIX AND TWO PLASTIC CLIPS THAT CLOSE THE SUNROOF, BECAUSE THEY ARE INDICATED THEY HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE TRACK SYSTEM, AS THE SPECIFIC SMALL PART THAT NEEDS REPLACING IS NOT AVAILABLE.

Water pump recall class action
May 20, 2023
I believe it was March,2022 or April,2022 my check engine light came On 20’ before pulling into my driveway. I called “Protect My Car” insurance protection that I have, had my Edge towed to a repair shop and they said my antifreeze was leaking into my oil, that my water pump went out and said it was my fault as I neglected taking care of my vehicle and they have denied paying to fix it, even thought it is 100% covered. Not sure what to do as it only has 151,000 miles on it and the body is in good shape and clean inside. I had no idea the water pump went out. I’m not a mechanic and thought that’s why I was paying them for problems like this. I need help to get it fixed and never neglected it or drove it after check engine light came on.

OUR WATER PUMP ON OUR 2008 FORD EDGE LIMITED, SUFFERED A BREAKDOWN WHICH ALLOWED WATER TO ENTER THE ENGINE INTERNALLY. THE WATER MIXED WITH THE OIL INSIDE THE ENGINE CAUSING A COMPLETE ENGINE FAILURE. WE WERE INFORMED IT WOULD COST $7,800.00 TO INSTALL A NEW FORD ENGINE. AT THE TIME OF ENGINE FAILURE THE ODOMETER SHOWED 105,000 MILES. THE CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN IN TOWN AT A SPEED OF 35 MILES PER HOUR IN THE MONTH OF AUGUST, 2019. I NOTICED THE AIR CONDITIONING WAS BLOWING HOT AIR SO I GLANCED AT THE DASHBOARD TO SEE THE ENGINE TEMPERATURE GAUGE REGISTERING H (HOT). AT NO TIME DID THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT COME ON TO ALERT ME OF AN ENGINE PROBLEM. I HAD THE EDGE TOWED TO A GARAGE WHERE WE WERE SHOWN A BILL FOR $7,800 TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE ENGINE DUE TO THE WATER PUMP BURSTING AND LEAKING WATER INTO THE ENGINE WHICH MIXED WITH OIL IN THE ENGINE. WE BELIEVE THIS ENGINE FAILURE WAS THE DIRECT RESULT OF THE LOCATION OF THE WATER PUMP WHICH WAS "INTERNALLY" IN THE ENGINE.

The rear taillight socket melted due to excessive heat. This has happened twice to the same vehicle. Once in 05/2019. At the time, a dealer service center recommended replacing the junction box, a $700 repair. The same issue has occurred again.

My backup lights kept burning out and are no longer functional. My directional and taillights have both burned out excessively. Last time I changed my left tail light I noticed the socket the bulb goes into looked a bit charred. My right directional recently burned out and this time the bulb is melted into the socket. I have an appt to have a mechanic change ALL REAR SOCKETS. Upon discovering the melted socket I checked on line and apparently this is a BIG PROBLEM for FORD EDGE. This should be recalled as it is a serious problem.

THE DRIVER SIDE BRAKE/TURN SIGNAL STOPPED WORKING ON 10/10/19 AND WHEN I REMOVED THE TAILLIGHT THE SOCKET WAS MELTED TOGETHER WITH THE LIGHT ASSEMBLY WISH I HAD A HARD TIME TAKING IT APART, I CALLED FORD SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT UNLESS I PAY TO FIX IT, THE CAR PARTS SHOULDN'T MELT THAT IS WHY THE VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH FUSES TO BURN OUT BEFORE THE VEHICLE CATCHES ON FIRE. THE PRINT ON THE MELTED PART NUMBER IS: 2U5A 13411-08 080651109

On November 2, 2021, I purchased a 2008 Ford Edge, Stock #: 12256. Upon reviewing the vehicle’s history recently, I discovered that it had been previously involved in an accident—a fact that was not disclosed to me at the time of sale. Moreover, it has become evident that the odometer was tampered with, and the mileage was misrepresented. These facts constitute material misrepresentation and odometer fraud under both state and federal law. According to the Carfax report, which was not provided to me at the time of sale, the mileage history for the vehicle is as follows: 192,195 miles recorded in 2020 164,208 miles recorded in 2021 161,269 miles recorded in 2022 163,087 miles at the time of purchase in 2021 This inconsistent and decreasing mileage history indicates that the odometer was rolled back. In addition, the emissions documentation lists testing in December, even though I took ownership of the vehicle in early November. Since the date of purchase, I have been unable to register the vehicle or obtain a passing emissions certificate. Had I been made aware of the vehicle’s true condition and mileage history, I would not have completed the purchase. The failure to disclose this information and the apparent falsification of documents constitute fraudulent misrepresentation and a violation of applicable consumer protection laws. I am requesting a full refund from this company because I don't trust that they will make me "whole" in the process.

There seems to be exhaust leaking into my vehicle. It isn’t a constant issue, but a frequent issue. At times I get an overwhelming exhaust smell inside of my car forcing me to roll all the windows down. It started over the last few months. There have not been any inspections on the vehicle since the issue has begun. The only odd light that come on in my vehicle is the oil light randomly clicks on and off at times, but I don’t know if that is related to the issue.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE SPEEDOMETER DROPS TO 0, WRENCH LIGHT AND AIRBAG LIGHT TURNS ON. CAR LOSSES POWER AND KEEPS RUNNING. TO MOVE AT ALL REQUIRES REVING THE ENGINE TO VERY HIGH RPMS
Jan 14, 2021
THE INFORMATION PANEL LIT UP WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, THE WRENCH, THE AIRBAG LIGHT, THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT AND DISPLAYED A MESSAGE: ODO DATA ERROR. THE ODOMETER/SPEEDOMETER FELL TO ZERO. I STOPPED AT A LIGHT AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE NORMALLY, THEN A BIG CLUNKING SOUND AND FINALLY MOVED FORWARD. AFTER A NIGHT IN THE GARAGE, THE VEHICLE DROVE NORMALLY THE NEXT DAY AND ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS WERE OFF. THEN ONE DAY IT HAPPENED AGAIN. TOOK IT TO A FORD DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND THEREFORE COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING TO FIX. SINCE THAT TIME, IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND EACH TIME I PULL OFF THE ROAD, TURN THE ENGINE OFF, WAIT A LITTLE BIT, START THE ENGINE AGAIN AND PULL AWAY. THERE IS ALWAYS THE CLUNKING AND JERKING INTO GEAR. AFTER REVIEWING A FEW FORD ONLINE FORMS, I SEE THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN THE 2008 EDGE AND MAY BE ATTRIBUTED TO TWO SENSORS, THE SPEED OUTPUT AND TURBINE SENSORS. FOR SAFETY REASONS, I WILL ONLY DRIVE ON SURFACE STREETS BECAUSE I NEVER KNOW WHEN IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN. SEEMS TO ME, FORD IS LIKELY AWARE OF THIS AND WOULD BE A SHAME IF SOMEONE GOT HURT. THE DATE BELOW IS THE MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE ALTHOUGH IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. *TR

2008 FORD EDGE SEL....WITH 6F50 TRANSMISSION....165000 MILES.... VEHICLE SHIFTS EXTERNALLY HARD FROM 3RD TO 4TH GEAR WITH A HARD JERK AND LOAD KLUNK, SO MUCH SO THAT IT HAS STARTED CAUSING ME NECK PROBLEMS FROM TENSING UP IN ANTICIPATION OF THE JERK. ALSO 2 TWICE UP GOING FROM PARK TO DRIVE, HAD AN EXTREMLY LOAD NOISE IN TRANSMISSION THAT SHOOK THE ENTIRE VEHICLE AND AS I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE THE RPM ROSE BUT THE CAR BARELY EASED FORWARD AND THE TRANSMISSION SOUNDED AS THOUGH IT WERE IN A BIND. I THEN PUT IT IN PARK, TURNED THE IGNITION OFF, PULLED OUT THE KEY, OPEN AND SHUT THE DOOR AS TO PRETEND I WAS EXITING, THEN PUT KEY BACK INTO IGNITION, STARTED THE CAR, PUT IT IN GEAR (NO PROBLEM) AND ACCELERATED AS NORMAL (NO PROBLEM), EXCEPT WHEN IT SHIFTED FROM 3RD TO 4TH WHICH IS AROUND 25MPH. I HAVE NOT AND DO NOT HAVE ANY LIGHTS ON IN THE INSTRUMENT DISPLAY PANEL NOR DO I HAVE ANY ERROR CODES SHOWING. MACANIC SAYS IT WOULD BE AN EXPENSIVE SHOT IN THE DARK TO START RANDOMLY CHANGING OUT SENSORS AND CHANGING OUT TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM AS IT IS NOT AN ISSUE WITH THE MECHANICS OF THE TRANSMISSION BUT AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE. I'VE ALSO TRIED A HARD REBOOT TO THE CARS ELECTRICAL SYSTEM TO POSSIBLY CLEAR ANY STORED ELECTRICAL ISSUES, PROBLEM STILL EXISTS!!! DEFINITELY A RECALL NEEDED, DUE TO SAFETY ISSUES WHILE DRIVING AND PHYSICAL CONDITIONS THAT COULD ARISE FROM THE TENSING UP IN EXPECTATION OF THE HARD JERK......

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, THE ODOMETER SUDDENLY DROPS TO ZERO WHILE STILL MOVING AT THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT. THE WRENCH SYMBOL WARNING LIGHT IN THE DASH COMES ON, AS WELL AS THE AIRBAG LIGHT. THE MILEAGE IS THEN CLEARED, AND THE DASH READS "ODO ERROR". PULLED OVER, TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE AND REMOVED THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION. GO TO TURN THE VEHICLE BACK ON, CAR STARTS NORMALLY, ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS ARE CLEARED. PUT THE VEHICLE INTO REVERSE, AND HEAR AND FEEL A LOUD "CLUNK" AS THE VEHICLE SHIFTS, AND AM ABLE TO BACK UP NORMALLY. WHEN SHIFTING BACK INTO DRIVE, THE RPMS JUMP UP, THE CAR SHIFTS AND MAKES THE LOUD "CLUNK", AND WHEN PUSHING THE ACCELERATOR, THE VEHICLE BARELY MOVES. IT WILL OCCASIONALLY COME BACK AND THE VEHICLE WILL RETURN TO IT'S NORMAL RUNNING STATE, BUT THEN IT WILL EVENTUALLY RETURNED TO THE DEFECTIVE STATE. NO ODOMETER WHILE DRIVING, NO POWER IF YOU STOP LEAVING YOU STRANDED.

ON MY DRIVE TO WORK I NOTICED MY TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT WAS ON. ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK SOMETHING EXTREMELY SCARY HAPPENED. TWO ADDITIONAL LIGHTS APPEARED, ONE WAS THE WRENCH SYMBOL AND THE OTHER WAS TIRE SENSOR FAULT WHICH WAS NOT THE BIGGEST ISSUE. THE BIGGER SCARIER ISSUE WAS THAT WHILE GOING 65 MPH IN BUSY TRAFFIC MY SPEED ODOMETER STOPPED WORKING. I SPOKE TO SOMEONE AT FORD AND EXPRESSED MY FEAR OF THIS SAFETY ISSUE. THEY RECOMMENDED REPORTING IT. IF ANYONE ELSE HAS THIS SERIOUS ISSUE PLEASE REPORT IT.

WHILE DRIVING OUT OF A DRIVEWAY ONTO A HIGHWAY, MY VEHICLE WENT LIMP AND I HAD TO PULL OVER. AS I WAS PUTTING IT INTO PARK, IT GAVE OUT A LOUD NOISE. I WAITED FOR A FEW MINUTES AND TURNED THE IGNITION BACK ON AND PROCEEDED TO DRIVE OFF AND THE CAR STALLED AGAIN. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. I'M HAVING IT TOWED TO MY HOUSE WHERE IT WILL STAY PARKED UNTIL I CAN HAVE IT LOOKED AT. HOPEFULLY, I WON'T HAVE TO TRADE IT IN. WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE FOR VEHICLES, I WILL NOT PURCHASE A FORD EVER AGAIN.

THIS IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM, IT FIRST HAPPENED ONCE ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO AND DIDN'T HAPPEN AGAIN UNTIL ABOUT 4 WEEKS AGO NOW IT OCCURS AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK. IT'S NOT FLOOR MATS OR ANYTHING ELSE ON THE GAS PEDAL ! SO FAR NO DAMAGE OR INJURIES BECAUSE I SHUT OFF THE ENGINE.WHEN I RESTART, ALL SEEMS NORMAL UNTIL IT HAPPENS AGAIN LATER ON. ALSO NOTE THAT "WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN?" ANSWER IS THE LATEST DATE IT HAPPENED

TWO WEEKS AGO I WAS DRIVING ON NJ ROUT 9 WHEN THE TRANSMISSION SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS IN NEUTRAL BUT IT WASN'T. ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS WERE ON AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE TO A SAFE AREA AND STOP. I DID NOT TURN THE CAR OFF AND EXITED THE CAR AND TRIED TO OPEN THE REAR DOORS AND HATCH BUT COULDN'T. NEXT I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND WAITED A FEW MINUTES BEFORE STARTING IT. WHEN IT STARTED, ALL WAS FINE. THE NEXT MORNING I DROVE IT TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP WITHOUT INCIDENT. THERE WAS ONLY 62,000 MILES ON IT AT THE TIME BUT THE WARRANTY EXPIRED BECAUSE IT WAS MORE THAN SEVEN YEARS. THE OSS WAS REPLACED AT A COST OF 750.00. THIS IS NOT THE FIRS MAJOR ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE. LESS THAN ONE YEAR AGO TWO COILS FAULTED CAUSING A BACK FEED OF TOO MUCH VOLTAGE TO THE COMPUTER CAUSING IT TO FRY. A COST OF MORE THAN 3,000.00 TO REPAIR.

I AM HAVING AN ISSUE WITH MY WHEEL BEARING AND THERE IS A RECALL 270760 AND MY VIN # WAS NOT ON THE LIST. MY CAR WAS RUNNING PERFECTLY FINE AND THEN WHEN I GOT NEW TIRES, THEY TOLD ME THAT MY WHEEL BEARINGS WERE WEAK. IN THE BEGINNING, BEFORE I GOT MY TIRES, THE CAR STARTED VIBRATING AND GRINDING. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE AUTO REPAIR TO LOOK AT IT, THEY TOLD ME THAT IT MAY BE THE TIRES, WHICH I DID NEEDED TO REPLACE. SO I DID. THE SOUND DID NOT GO AWAY. FINALLY, THEY DID MORE CHECKING AND TOLD ME ABOUT THE RECALL AND THAT I NEEDED TO TAKE TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP TO GET IT FIXED. I CALLED THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY REFUSED TO DO THE WORK.

1. REAR WHEEL BEARINGS HUB ASSEMBLY , FAILURES.. RIGHT FAILED AT NEARLY 58K MILES. OF COURSE AFTER WARRANTY ! LEFT FAILED AT NEARLY 73K MILES. HOWLING SOUND BEING PRODUCED. IT IS COSTING LOT OF MONEY TO REPLACE THESE PARTS. NOT GOOD. I HAVE NEVER HAD A CAR IN THE LAST 40 YEARS WHERE THE WHEEL BEARING ASSEMBLIES HAVE FAILED. DEFECTIVE PARTS FORD IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM, SINCE THEY HAVE ISSUED A TECH SER.. BULLETIN ON 2/5/10. HERE IS AN EXCERPT: DRIVETRAIN - GROWL/HOWL FROM REAR HUB AREA TSB 10-2-9 02/15/10 NOISE FROM REAR WHEEL HUB BEARING - BUILT ON OR BEFORE 12/4/2008 FORD: 2007-2009 EDGE LINCOLN: 2007-2009 MKX THIS ARTICLE SUPERSEDES TSB 09-26-5 TO UPDATE THE PARTS LIST. ISSUE SOME 2007-2009 EDGE AND MKX VEHICLES BUILT ON OR BEFORE 12/4/2008 MAY EXHIBIT A GROWL OR HOWL TYPE NOISE COMING FROM THE LEFT AND/OR RIGHT REAR WHEEL AREA. THIS COULD BE THE RESULT OF A FAULTY REAR WHEEL HUB BEARING ASSEMBLY. ACTION FOLLOW THE SERVICE PROCEDURE STEPS TO CORRECT THE CONDITION. SERVICE PROCEDURE 1. IF WORKSHOP MANUAL (WSM) DIAGNOSTICS IDENTIFY A FAULTY REAR WHEEL HUB BEARING, IT WILL BE NECESSARY TO REPLACE THE REAR SUSPENSION TRAILING ARM/KNUCKLE ASSEMBLY ALONG WITH A NEW REAR WHEEL HUB ASSEMBLY. 2. REFER TO WSM, SECTION 204-02, FOR REAR WHEEL HUB BEARING AND TRAILING ARM/KNUCKLE REPLACEMENT. ONLY REPLACE THE REAR SUSPENSION TRAILING ARM/KNUCKLE ASSEMBLY AND REAR BEARING HUB ON THE SIDE WITH THE CONCERN. FAILING TO INSTALL A NEW REAR SUSPENSION TRAILING ARM/KNUCKLE ASSEMBLY WHEN INSTALLING A NEW REAR BEARING HUB ASSEMBLY WILL RESULT IN PREMATURE BEARING NOISE/WEAR. FORD NEEDS TO BE RESPONSIVE, ON DEFECTIVE PARTS. I CONTACTED THEM , 11/14 WHEN THE RIGHT FAILED, AND THEIR RESPONSE WAS: SORRY , YOU ARE OUT OF WARRANTY. THEY SHOULD HAVE ISSUED A RECALL IN 2010. WHEN WE WERE NOT OUT OF WARRANTY. POTENTIALLY, WHEELS CAN FREEZE UP.

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

We were turning a corner at a light and our tie-rod, axel, control arm, sway bar link and CV Shaft all broke at once causing our car to come to a dead stop in the road and we could not even push it out of the road, we were able to purchase the CV Shaft, Control Arm ASY, and The Sway Bar Lnk. for the one side the car is still not moveable we need a tire that we cant afford and from the looks of it the other side may do the same and the part that worries me about our safety is that is it does it on the freeway and we come to a dead stop in traffic or something it will be bad. What we need and I was told that if my car showed up on the recall list for any reason that you would fix any safety issues free of charge and my car did come up on the list. I just purchased the vehicle in november 2020 and was told all the original parts are still on it. Please let me know where to go to get my car fixed this is our only means of transportation to go to school for me and my kids and for my husband to find a job thank you. What we need is a tire for the front passenger side and the driver side fixed asap.

WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET AT APPROXIMATELY 30MPH, WE DROVE OVER A STANDARD MANHOLE COVER AND THERE WAS AN IMMEDIATE BANGING NOISE ABOVE THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE WHEEL AND THE SECTION OF THE HOOD CLOSEST TO THE WINDSHIELD WAS PUSHED UP ABOUT 6 INCHES. WE PULLED OVER AND COULD SEE THE STRUT PRESSING UP AGAINST THE HOOD. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A MECHANIC SHOP WHERE WE LEARNED THAT THE ENTIRE STRUT TOWER HAD BROKEN THROUGH THE STRUT SUPPORT DUE TO A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF THE SPOT WELDS THAT WERE CONNECTING THE UPPER STRUT MOUNT CAP TO THE VEHICLE BODY. THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER NOR THE MECHANIC HAD EVER SEEN THIS KIND OF STRUCTURAL FAILURE. WE ARE GRATEFUL THAT WE WERE NOT ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED, AND WE ARE EAGER FOR THE ISSUE TO BE LOOKED INTO FURTHER TO DETERMINE IF THIS IS A STRUCTURAL DEFECT OF THE 2008 FORD EDGE THAT COULD FURTHER AFFECT OUR OR OTHER FAMILIES' VEHICLE SAFETY.

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.

THE WRENCH LIGHT WILL COME ON WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE, AND POWER IS LOST. MY CAR WILL SLOW DOWN TO AROUND 10-20 MPH NO MATTER WHERE I AM OR HOW FAST I AM GOING. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY FORD. I HAVE BEEN ON I-10 WITH MY HUSBAND AND TODDLER AND THE VEHICLE GOES INTO THIS "LIMP MODE" AT 80 MPH! I AM SO TERRIFIED TO DRIVE A VEHICLE THAT I HAVE TO PAY EVERY MONTH FOR. MECHANICS THAT HAVE LOOKED AT THE CAR HAVE NO DEFINITIVE ANSWER TO PROBLEM, THEY SUGGESTED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY BE CLEANED. WE DID THAT AND IT WAS NO HELP. THE VEHICLE LEFT ME AND MY SON STRANDED THIS MORNING ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE I COULD NOT GET IT OUT OF THE "SAFETY LIMP MODE". USUALLY, I CAN PULL OVER, PARK, AND SHUT THE CAR OFF FOR A FEW MINUTES, THEN TURN IT ON AND IT WOULD WORK AGAIN. THIS MORNING, IT WOULD NOT RESET ITSELF. I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY HELP OR ADVICE ON THIS MATTER.

DRIVING, GOING UP A HILL, THE CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING AND LOST POWER GOING UP. I ALMOST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT. THE CAR DOESN'T ACCELERATE AND IT HAS ALL THE FLUIDS AND CHANGED OF OILS. THE CAR CLUNKS AND HAS A WRENCH. WHEN I PUT INTO REVERSE IT JUMP A VERY MINIMUM ACCELERATION. I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. I HAD TO TOW THE CAR. THE MECHANIC COULDN'T FIND THE PROBLEM. HE SAID HE CLEARED UP THE COMPUTER AND IT WAS FINE. THEN I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. NO ACCELERATION. WHY FORD HASN'T MADE THIS INTO A SAFETY RECALL. I DID MY INVESTIGATION AND I BELIEVE IT HAS TO DO WITH THE TRANSMISSION SENSORS. PLEASE HELP ME.

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

MADE A TURN OFF INTERSTATE INTO A BUSY ROAD, MY VEHICLE JERKED AND LOST ITS ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. LEAVING ME IN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WITH CARS FLYING AROUND ME TO AVOID HITTING ME. I MANAGED TO MAKE IT INTO A PARKING LOT. I HAD A FRIEND CHECK THE VEHICLE AND WITH THE HOOD UP HE HAD ME PUT IN REVERSE AND IT LOOKED LIKE THE MOTOR WAS GOING TO JUMP OUT OF THE VEHICLE, SAME HAPPENED IN DRIVE. HE PUT HIS COMPUTER ON AND A CODE FOR THE DRIVE SPEED SENSOR WAS PRESENT. THE CODE WAS CLEARED AND THEN NOTICED THE SPEED AND RPM GAUGES WERE INACCURATE. THIS HAPPENS ON OCCASION. UPON RESEARCH I SEE THIS SENSOR HAS A RECALL ON IT BUT NOT FOR MY YEAR 08 EDGE. PLEASE RECALL ASAP. THIS CAN CAUSE SOME SERIOUSLY BAD ACCIDENT WHEN YOUR VEHICLE LOOSES ITS ABILITY TO ACCELERATE WHEN IN TRAFFIC. I FEAR THIS WILL HAPPEN AND MY LIFE IS IN THE LINE. FORD IS AWARE THERE IS A APPARENT PROBLEM NOTED BY OTHER YEAR MAKE MODEL RECALLS. NOTE: THIS IS THE ORIGINAL COMPLAINT.....................TODAY THE SAME HAS HAPPENED AGAIN, I WAS GREETED BY HORNS BLOWING AND AGGRESSIVE DRIVERS BUT WAS UNABLE TO DO ANYTHING BUT COAST TO THE NEXT INTERSECTION TO TURN OFF. NHTSA PLEASW DO SOMETHING IF POSSIBLE. THIS OUTPUT DRIVE SPEED SENSOR IS GOING TO GET SOMEONE KILLED SOON. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS THROUGHOUT THIS FEED UNDER SCATTERED CATEGORIES MAINLY BECAUSE MOST DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS AND DEALERS CANT FIGURE OUT IF THE VEHICLE DOESN'T THROW UP A CODE. I HAD MINE CHECKED WHEN THE WARNING LIGHT WAS ON SO I WOULD KNOW THE ISSUE. UNFORTUNATELY THE DEALER COULDN'T HELP BECAUSE WE CLEARED THE CODE. I CHECKED INTO GEETING THIS FIXED BUT ACCORDING TO THE DEALER THE PART IS UNAVAILABLE, AND THE LABOR WOULD BE ABSURD IF THEY HAD TO REPLACE. PLEASE HELP!

AS I WAS DRIVING, DASH FLASHED "ODO DATA ERROR", THEN WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON FOLLOWED BY AIRBAG, TPM, ENGINE LIGHT, BASICALLY ALL WARNING LIGHTS, ODOMETER WENT TO ZERO, LOSS OF ACCELARATION, PULLED OVER AND PLACED IN PARK, CAR WAS REVVING HIGH, TURNED CAR OFF AND RESTARTED, SAME, PUT ON DRIVE, STEPPED ON GAS, CAR REVVED BUT NO MOVEMENT. TURNED CAR OFF AND WAITED COUPLE MINUTES, RESTATED, WARNING LIGHTS DISAPPEARED, ODOMETER BACK TO ACTUAL MILEAGE.

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 SENSOR, WHICH WEREN'T 'COMMUNICATING PROPERLY'). I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL SHOP FOR REPAIR SINCE IT HAD JUST RUN OUT OF WARRANTY. I'M LUCKY BETHIS COULD HAVE BEEN A MUCH MORE DANGEROUS SITUATION IF IT HAD HAPPENED ON A BUSY ROAD OR A ROAD WITH A HIGHER SPEED LIMIT AND FEWER STOPS.

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

I PURCHASED A NEW 2008 FORD EDGE IN JANUARY OF 2009. I BEGAN EXPERIENCING BRAKING PROBLEMS EARLY IN 2011. THIS CAR HAS ABOUT 15,000 MILES ON IT WHEN I TOOK IJT BACK TO THE DEALER. WHEN I DESCRIBED THE PROBLEM TO THE MAINTENANCE MANAGER AND THE MECHANIC, BOTH STATED THAT IT WAS PROBLEM DUE TO RUST ON THE ROTORS. THE MECHANIC REMOVED THE WHEELS AND SHOWED ME THE ROTORS THAT WERE COMPLETELY RUSTED. HE THEN REMOVED THE ROTORS AND SHOWED ME ONE THAT HAD A PIECE ABOUT THE SIZE OF A DIME THAT HAD PHYSICALLY RUSTED AWAY FROM THE ROTOR. I ASKED HOW THAT HAD HAPPENED AS I KEEP MY CAR IN THE GARAGE AND HAD VERY LITTLE MILEAGE ON IT. HE STATED THAT THE CAR HAD PROBABLY SAT IN THE LOT FOR 6 MONTHS PRIOR TO MY PURCHASE. I COMPLAINED TO THE MANAGERS AT THE DEALER AND ALSO WROTE A LETTER TO FORD ABOUT THIS SUBJECT. ALTHOUGH ALL OF THESE PERSONS ADMIT IT IS DUE TO RUST, THEY WOULD NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DAMAGE. SINCE AUTOMOBILES WERE BEING SOLD AT A SLOW PACE WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR, THIS PROBLEM MUST EXIST ON OTHERS. MAYBE YOU SHOULD LOOK INTO THE PROBLEM. *TR

ACCORDING TO THE SHOP, THIS IS AN UNUSUAL FAILURE FOR A CAR OF THIS MILEAGE.

MY 2008 FORD EDGE (SINCE I BROUGHT IT) HAS BEEN HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE, ALL OF THE LIGHTS ON THE PANEL WILL LIGHT UP( WRENCH LIGHT, AIRBAG LIGHT, TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT...ETC) THE ODOMETER WILL GO OFF AND HAVE ONLY DASHES, THE CAR WILL THEN HAVE A LOSS OF ACCELERATION. THE CAR FEELS LIKE IT IS TRYING REALLY HARD TO STAY IN GEAR OR CHANGE GEARS.THIS WILL HAPPEN ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 60MPH AS WELL AS LOCAL ROADS AT LOWER SPEEDS. I WILL HAVE TO PUT MY HAZARDS ON AND PULL OVER ON THE SIDE. WE FIGURED OUT THAT IF YOU DISCONNECT THE CABLES ON THE BATTERY FOR A FEW MINUTES THEN RECONNECT THE CAR WILL THEN RUN AGAIN OK. THIS IS A SERIOUS HAZARD. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT SEVERAL TIMES ON THE HIGHWAY DUE TO THIS ISSUE AND HAVE BEEN HIT FROM BEHIND GETTING ON THE HIGHWAY ALREADY. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO FORD SEVERAL TIMES ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT THERE IS "NO CODE READING" SO THEY CAN NOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS TO FIND OUT IF OTHER FORD EDGES HAVE THE SAME ISSUE AND I CAME ACROSS A SLEW OF OTHER FORD EDGE OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. I HAVE CONTACTED FORD SEVERAL TIMES TO BE TOLD THAT THERE ARE NO RECALLS ON THIS. *TR

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.

THE 2008 FORD EDGE'S AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION DOESN'T ENGAGE PROPERLY. WHEN ON ANY INCLINE OR DECLINE, THE CAR WILL ROLL WHEN IN GEAR. FORD STATES THIS ISN'T A "PROBLEM" ITS A "REDESIGN". WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PUT INTO DRIVE OR REVERSE, YOU HAVE TO HIT THE GAS FOR THE CAR TO MOVE, IT DOESN'T START ROLLING WHEN YOU LET OFF OF THE BRAKE. IF YOU ARE BACKING UP A HILL IN REVERSE AND YOU LET OFF THE BRAKE, THE VEHICLE ROLLS FORWARD WHILE IN REVERSE, IT DOESN'T PULL THE CAR BACKWARDS STILL. IF A CHILD RUNS IN FRONT OF YOUR CAR WHILE YOU'RE BACKING UP AND YOUR HEAD IS STILL TURNED LOOKING BACK AND WHEN YOU LET OFF THE GAS TO PRESS THE BRAKE TO SHIFT FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE, THAT CHILD OR PERSON COULD BE KILLED. THE TRANSMISSION COULD ALSO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IN HEAVY TRAFFIC SINCE YOU HAVE TO HIT THE GAS AND BRAKE QUICKLY. MY WIFE WAS BACKING UP IN THE RAIN AND HAD TO PRESS THE GAS PEDAL TO GET GOING BACKWARDS AND HER 2008 FORD EDGE ACCELERATED TOO MUCH AND SHE HIT MY TRUCK AND AFTER SHE HAD HIT MY TRUCK THAT IS WHEN THE BACKUP SENSORS WENT OFF. THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE THAT HAVE BROUGHT THIS TO FORD'S ATTENTION AND THE POSSIBLE DANGERS AND EVERYONE GETS THE SAME ANSWER FROM FORD ALL OVER THE COUNTRY. FORD STATES "THIS ISN'T A PROBLEM, THIS IS A NEW DESIGN AND EACH OF US ARE THE FIRST ONES TO HAVE A PROBLEM AND NO ONE ELSE HAS COMPLAINED ABOUT IT". SOMEONE SHOULD SERIOUSLY LOOK INTO THE 2008 FORD EDGE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2008 FORD EDGE, A ROARING TYPE NOISE COMES FROM THE REAR OF THE UNIT. AS YOU ACCELERATE TO NOISE GROWS IN VOLUME. AT FIRST IT APPEARED TO ME AS "ROAD NOISE" I CHANGED PRESSURES IN THE TIRES AND ROTATED THE FRONT TO THE REAR. NOTHING CHANGES. AFTER RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM, IT APPEARS THAT IT IS THE REAR WHEEL BEARINGS. ACCORDING TO FORD THE BEARING HUB AND THE REAR SUSPENSION TRAILING ARM/KNUCKLE ASSEMBLY MUST ALSO BE CHANGED ON THE AFFECTED SIDE. THE TRAILING ARM CAUSES TO MUCH PRESSURE ON THE BEARINGS AND WIPES THEM OUT. ALSO THE WHEELS HAVE TO BE RE-ALIGNED DUE TO THE INSTALLATION OF THE NEW TRAILING ARM. FORD STATES THAT JUST CHANGING ONLY THE BEARING HUB WILL CAUSE THE PROBLEM TO HAPPEN AGAIN. IF THE BEARING FAILS THIS COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT WITH THE POTENTIAL OF SERIOUS INJURY OR WORSE TO THE OCCUPANTS OF THIS VEHICLE AND ANYONE ELSE AS A RESULT OF THIS FAILURE.THIS APPEARS TO BE A POSSIBLE PROBLEM WITH THE DESIGN OF THE SUSPENSION SYSTEM AND NOT NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED IN LATE NOVEMBER 2012. AS I DROVE IT LONGER THE NOISE IN THE REAR HAS GOTTEN LOUDER AND LOUDER. *TR

MY VEHICLE FORD EDGE MODEL 2008, LOST CONTROL AS WELL AS SPEED WHEN THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME TO THE DASHBOARD, IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE AIRBAG LIGHT LIT UP, I HAD LITTLE OR NO ENGINE POWER TO ENGAGE GEAR TO KEEP UP WITH TRAFFIC SPEED. MY SPEED DROPPED TO 40 MILES OR LESS PER HOUR. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION BECAUSE AT THAT MOMENT THE ODOMETER LIGHTING ALSO WENT OFF. DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AT NIGHT NO ONE DRIVES BELOW 40 MILES PER HOUR, MADE THE SITUATION PRETTY GRAVE AND DANGEROUS. THE PROBLEM COMES FROM THE POWER TRAIN FAULTY SENSORS NEAR THE TRANSMISSION NEED TO BE REPLACED COSTING OVER $800,00, AS FOR THE AIRBAG I HAVEN'T RECEIVED A INVOICE YET.

AUTO TRANSMISSION WILL NOT SHIFT, ENGINE REVS AND NO POWER, WRENCH LIGHT AIRBAG WARNING LIGHTS,DEAD SPEEDO, ODOMETER SHOWS DASHES. HAD TRANS FLUID CHANGED. NO HELP. I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL PROBLEMS NOTED ON THE INTERNET. DEALERS ARE NOT FIXING THE PROBLEM BY REBUILDING THE TRANS FOR SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLARS. THE TRANS FAILING SHOULD NOT AFFECT THE VARIOUS ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS INCIDENT. THE SYSTEM WILL RESET IF THE ENGINE IS TURNED OFF AND THEN RESTARTED WITH NOTHING INDICATING A PROBLEM. THERE DOESNT APPEAR TO BE ANY CODES SET. I URGE FORD TO EMBRACE THESE PROBLEMS BEFORE SOMEONE IS HURT BECAUSE THE TRANS "JUMPS" OUT OF GEAR AND CAUSES AN ACCIDENT. THIS REPORTED PROBLEM SHOULD NOT BE "NEWS" TO YOUR COMPLAINTS DEPARTMENT. I HAVE CHOSEN TO ALWAYS PREFER A FORD PRODUCTS DURING MY 50 YEARS OF DRIVING AND EXPECT AN HONEST, THOROUGH AND CONCISE INVESTIGATION BE GIVEN TO THIS PROBLEM.

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 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 ABOUT MECHANICS. ONLY 49,000 MILES. *TR

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.

MY MECHANIC SAID THAT THE CONDENSATION DRAIN WAS CLOGGED WITH LEAVES, WHICH CAUSED THE WATER TO RISE. THE WATER SHORTED OUT THE MOTOR FOR MY FAN, SO MY WHOLE MOTOR HAD TO BE REPLACED.

MY FAMILY AND I WERE DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY WHEN THE PANORAMIC MOONROOF ON MY 2008 FORD EDGE SHATTERED. WE WERE NOT NEAR AN UNDERPASS OR CLOSE TO ANOTHER VEHICLE. IT DOES NOT APPEAR TO HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY ANY FOREIGN OBJECT. WE HEARD A LOUD POP, WHICH MY HUSBAND THOUGHT WAS A GUN SHOT. HE FELT THE SHADE AND COULD FEEL PIECES OF GLASS WEIGHING THE SHADE DOWN. HE PULLED OVER TO INSPECT THE ROOF. THE ENTIRE GLASS WAS SHATTERED, BUT STICKING TOGETHER FOR THE MOST PART. THE EDGES WERE CRUMBLING AS WERE PARTS THROUGHOUT IN THE CENTER. AS WE DROVE HOME MORE PIECES OF GLASS STARTED CRUMBLING OFF. FORTUNATELY THE SHADE WAS CLOSED AT THE TIME OR THE PIECES OF GLASS WOULD HAVE LANDED ON MY HUSBAND WHILE DRIVING AND ON MY INFANT SON AND ME IN THE BACK SEAT. WE WERE ALSO FORTUNATE THAT IT WAS NOT RAINING AT THAT MOMENT (ALTHOUGH IT DID LATER THAT EVENING). THE DEALERSHIP HAD CLOSED FOR THE WEEKEND, SO I WAITED UNTIL FIRST THING MONDAY MORNING AND TOOK THE CAR IN. I HAVE THE STANDARD BUMPER-TO-BUMPER WARRANTY, AN EXTENDED WARRANTY AND A MAINTENANCE PACKAGE ON THE VEHICLE. HOWEVER, FORD CLAIMS THAT THE ROOF IS NOT COVERED BY ANY OF THOSE BECAUSE IT IS GLASS. I FIND IT HIGHLY UNUSUAL THAT THE GLASS USED FOR A ROOF WOULD NOT BE MADE OF DURABLE GLASS SIMILAR TO A WINDSHIELD, GIVEN THE LIKELIHOOD OF A ROCK HITTING IT OR FALLING HAIL. HAD THE SHADE BEEN OPEN OR HAD THE WEATHER CONDITIONS BEEN BAD, THE SITUATION COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE. I HAVE ALSO LEARNED THAT SEVERAL SUNROOFS ON THE FORD ESCAPE HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH SHATTERING WITHOUT PROVOCATION AS WELL. MY DEALERSHIP OFFERED TO PAY A PORTION OF THE $1300 REPLACEMENT COST GIVEN THAT FORD REFUSED TO COVER ANY OF THE COSTS AND GIVEN ITS DESIRE TO MAINTAIN GOOD CUSTOMER RELATIONS. HOWEVER, FORD HAS YET TO BE ABLE TO LOCATE OR MANUFACTURE A REPLACEMENT GLASS (APPROXIMATELY TWO AND A HALF WEEKS AFTER THE INCIDENT). *TR

ENCLOSED ARE A DESCRIPTION AND THE OTHER INFORMATION ABOUT THE FORD EDGE YOU REQUESTED. THIS IS A PART OF WHAT WAS SENT TO THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY AFTER THE SUNROOF CLAIM WAS DENIED ON THE BASIS THAT THEY FEEL SOMETHING FROM THE OUTSIDE HIT THE SUNROOF. ON JULY 24, 2008 AT ABOUT 8:00 PM, MY BROTHER IN LAWS WAS DRIVING MY CAR ON INTERSTATE 75 JUST NORTH OF BOWLING GREEN, OHIO. HE WAS DRIVING 60-65 MPH WITH THE WINDOWS UP, AIR CONDITIONER ON, AND THE SUNROOF CLOSED. AS HE WAS DRIVING, HE REPORTS A SUDDEN EXPLOSION IN THE CAR, LIKE HE WAS SHOT. HE AND THE PASSENGER HAD SMALL SHARDS OF BROKEN GLASS RAIN DOWN ON THEM. THEY MANAGED TO SAFELY PULL THE CAR TO THE BRIM OF THE HIGHWAY WITHOUT ANY FURTHER PROBLEMS. UPON EXAMINING THE SUNROOF, THEY OBSERVED A HOLE THE SIZE OF A SMALL DINNER PLATE IN THE CENTER OF THE ROOF AND ALL FOUR CORNERS MISSING. THE GLASS IN THE MIDDLE AND CORNERS OF THE SUNROOF HAD THE APPEARANCE ?LIKE A VOLCANO? OUT OF THE CAR. BOTH THE DRIVER AND THE PASSENGER REPORTED THAT THERE WERE NO OVERPASSES OR CARS AROUND THEM TO KICK UP ANY OBJECT THAT COULD HAVE HIT THE ROOF. THE GLASS FROM THE HOLE WAS NOT IN THE CAR. I FEEL THIS CLAIM HAS BEEN DENIED UNJUSTLY AND THAT THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND PLANET FORD OF CENTERVILLE ARE CLOSING THEIR EYES TO AN ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED THOROUGHLY BY SOMEONE IN PERSON INSTEAD OF SENDING ?DIGITAL PICTURES? TO SOMEONE AT CORPORATE TO MAKE A DECISION. AFTER ALL, THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT COULD HAVE BEEN FATAL, LEAVING FORD WITH A MUCH BIGGER PROBLEM THAN JUST REPLACING A FAULTY SUNROOF.

The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred. The contact was informed that the parts to do the repair had failed. The dealer was not notified of the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was informed that the repair required an unknown kit. The failure mileage was unavailable.

The locked door emblem sporadically comes on and stays on. It makes my interior lights stay on. It runs my battery down. The back passenger side door was opened by a rider and the lock all doors button had been engaged. The red light was on to show doors were not locked. This has been an ongoing issue for several months now. I have an appointment at Ford garage 09/13/22.

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.

VEHICLE STALLED WHILE REVERSING INTO A PARKING SPOT. BARELY STARTED. STALLED A FEW SECONDS LATER AFTER COMPLETING THE REVERSE INTO PARKING SPOT. BARELY STARTED AGAIN. GOT ON THE ROAD AND DRIVING FINE A FEW HUNDRED FEET, VEHICLE STALLED ALMOST RAN INTO A GROUP OF PARKED VEHICLES. BARELY STARTED AGAIN. MADE IT TO THE HIGHWAY TO GO HOME AND WHILE DRIVING AT JUST UNDER 55MPH LIMIT VEHICLE STALLS IN THE PASSING LANE. ALMOST CAUSED A WRECK WITH SEVERAL VEHICLES INCLUDING A SEMI. DIDN'T START FOR A FEW MINUTES. VEHICLE STUTTERED TO START AND BARELY TURNED OVER. AFTER IT STARTED I SAT THERE AND WATCHED THE TACHOMETER, IT WOULD, WITHOUT MYSELF TOUCHING OR DOING ANYTHING, IDLE THEN JUMP A LITTLE AND DIP A LITTLE OVER AND OVER. THERE SEEMS TO BE NO CERTAIN SITUATION OR REASONING FOR WHEN, WHERE OR WHY IT WOULD STALL, COMPLETE RANDOMNESS! HIGHWAY DRIVING, SLOW STOP AND GO CITY DRIVING, REVERSING, IT SEEMS TO DO IT COMPLETELY RANDOMLY AND UNEXPECTEDLY BUT ALWAYS WHILE MOVING ONE DIRECTION OR THE OTHER. STRAIGHT LINE, TURNING, FAST, SLOW, DIDN'T MAKE A DIFFERENCE. FINALLY WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY, CAME INTO TOWN AND I WAS ABLE TO STOP AT ALL THE LIGHTS AND GO BUT THEN OUT OF NO WHERE AGAIN DOING CLOSE TO THE 35MPH LIMIT IT STALLS AGAIN AND THIS TIME I WAS AT A 6 WAY INTERSECTION AND ALMOST HIT ANOTHER MOVING VEHICLE. MY FAMILY WILL NOT BE RIDING IN THIS VEHICLE AGAIN UNTIL SOMETHING IS DONE! THIS IS NOT NORMAL OR SAFE! NOT FOR ME OR ANYONE ELSE ON THE ROADWAY! I HAVE NO CLUE AS TO WHAT THE ISSUE COULD BE EXCEPT THAT IT'S THE MANUFACTURERS ISSUE. IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SINCE. VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN WRECKED, ABOVE AVERAGE MAINTENANCE INTERVALS, COMPLETELY MAINTAINED BUT THIS IS SOMETHING MORE THAN REGULAR 'WEAR AND TEAR' AS ONE WOULD SAY. NOT SAFE AT ALL!! COULD HAVE KILLED MYSELF, MY FAMILY OR SOMEONE ELSE WITH THIS PROBLEM!! NEEDS ATTENTION ASAP! EXTREMELY UNSAFE!

SEVERAL TIMES NOW, MY CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE GOING 40, 60, 70MPH ON THE HWY. I HAVE HAD TO INSTANTLY PUT HAZARDS ON AND TRY TO PULL OVER WHICH ISN'T ALWAYS EASY DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, I PULL OFF, AND THEN MY CAR LURCHES FORWARD AND SHIFTS GEARS AND THEN CAN ACCELERATE. THIS HAS ALSO HAPPENED WHEN I HAVE BEEN AT A COMPLETE STOP, AND TRIED TO ACCELERATE. WHEN YOU CANNOT MOVE FORWARD, OR CRAWL AT SPEEDS UNDER 5MPH, BUT YOUR RPMS ARE REACHING 7, THERE IS SOMETHING SERIOUSLY WRONG. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN A FEW TIMES ONLY TO BE TOLD THEY CANNOT FIND OR RECREATE THE ISSUES, SO THEY SEND ME ON MY WAY. IT SOUNDS AS IF MANY OTHERS ARE HAVING THE EXACT SAME ISSUES. I AM VERY NERVOUS THAT MY LUCK IN PULLING OFF OUT OF HARMS WAY WILL RUN OUT. I HAVE CALLED MY DEALERSHIP TO ONCE AGAIN HAVE IT LOOKED AT BUT THEY CANNOT GET ME IN FOR 10 DAYS.... SHOULD I EVEN DRIVE THIS CAR IF IT IS NOT RELIABLE?? I TRULY AM FRIGHTENED TO DRIVE NOW, AND THIS IS MY ONLY CAR AND AM A SINGLE MOTHER. NOT SURE WHAT I AM SUPPOSED TO DO. I REALLY HOPE THAT FORD RECALLS THIS, AS I HAVE READ THAT THERE ARE SEVERAL LAWSUITS PENDING THIS EXACT ISSUE.

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

I OWN A 2008 EDGE WITH APPROX. 150,000 MILES ON IT. THE CAR HAS STALLED ON ME 3 TIMES IN THE LAST 3-4 MONTHS. THE FIRST TIME THE CAR STALLED I WAS ON THE FREEWAY DURING RUSH HOUR. THANKFULLY I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CARE AND MOVE IT OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY BEFORE IT STALLED AGAIN. AFTER HAVING IT TOWED, I WAS TOLD THAT THE WATER PUMP HAD CRACKED. THE WATER PUMP INVOLVED A LOT OF LABOR AND COST ME ABOUT $1100-$1200 WITH THE TOW. ABOUT A WEEK LATER, I WAS AGAIN DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND THE CAR STALLED. AGAIN, I WAS ABLE TO MAKE MY WAY OFF THE FREEWAY BEFORE THE CAR DIED COMPLETELY. ONCE AGAIN, I HAD TO HAVE THE CARE TOWED. THIS TIME, I WAS TOLD THAT THE ENGINE APPEARED TO HAVE COOLANT IN THE OIL AND CREATED A MURKY GOO. MY ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. ANOTHER $2200. THE LAST INCIDENT WAS FRIDAY, MAY 20TH. I HAD NO INDICATION THERE WAS A PROBLEM OF ANY KIND. I LITERALLY DROVE LESS THAN HALF A MILE WHEN THE CARE OVERHEATED AND STALLED. I CALLED AND EMAILED FORD TO SEE IF I COULD GET ANY ASSISTANCE, BUT HAVE EITHER HAVE HAD NO RESPONSE OR AN EMAIL INDICATING THAT IF THE CAR IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY OR IF NO RECALLS HAVE BEEN ISSUED, I WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY WORK THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR, BUT HAVE NOT RECEIVED A RESPONSE. I AM OUT OF MONEY AND OPTIONS. I HAVE BEEN WITHOUT A CAR FOR ALMOST TWO WEEKS AND FEEL INCREDIBLY FRUSTRATED BY THIS SITUATION. I FIND IT ABSURD THAT A VEHICLE WOULD GET A BLOWN ENGINE WITH NO WARNING AND THAT A RECALL HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED. I AM FACING ANOTHER $1200 OR SO IN VEHICLE REPAIRS.

I OWN A 2008 FORD EDGE. I HAVE HAD IT FOR JUST OVER 30 DAYS AND HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH IT SINCE THE WEEK THAT I PURCHASED IT. I HAVE HAD IT TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY ARE TELLING ME THAT SINCE THERE ARE NO CODES READING OUT AND NO LIGHT ON AND THAT THEY CANT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM THAT THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. I AM SUPPOSED TO MONITOR AND CALL BACK WITH WORSE SYMPTOMS. I CALLED THEM IN THURSDAY BECAUSE I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK AND MY CAR SKIPPED THE WHOLE WAY UP A HILL ON THE HIGHWAY AND WHEN I GOT TO THE TOP OF IT MY CAR COMPLETELY POWERED DOWN AND SHUT OFF WITH THE KEY STILL IN THE IGNITION AND IN THE IN POSITION. I HAD TO GET OFF THE ROAD VERY QUICKLY TO AVOID BEING HIT BY A 18 WHEELER. I AM HAPPY THAT MY CHILD WAS NOT IN THE CAR BUT I AM NOW SCARED FOR MY FAMILY AND MY SAFETY AS WELL AS OTHERS.

TURNED ON CAR AND PUT IT IN REVERSE THEN DRIVE WHEN PULLING OUT OF PARKING LOT,. TRANSMISSION MADE A LOUD "CLUNK". PRESSED HARD ON GAS BUT CAR WOULD BARELY CRAWL. SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING RPMS WOULD INCREASE DRAMATICALLY, WRENCH, CHECK ENGINE, AIRBAG, AND TIRE PRESSURE LIGHTS ALL CAME ON. CONTINUING ON CITY STREET PROBLEM REMAINED. CAR EVENTUALLY GAINED ENOUGH SPEED THAT RPMS WENT DOWN, BUT THE SPEEDOMETER STILL DID NOT WORK. THE NEXT DAY, THE PROBLEM DISAPPEARED EXCEPT CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINS ON.

THE FRONT SEAT HEAD RESTS OF MY 2008 FORD EDGE HAS AN ANGLE THAT STRETCHES MY NECK FORWARD IN AN UNCOMFORTABLE ANGLE. I GET SEVERE NECK PAIN IF THE BACK OF MY SEAT IS UP TO SUPPORT MY LUMBAR REGION. IF I LOWER THE BACK TO KEEP THE HEAD REST FROM JUTTING MY NECK FORWARD, MY LUMBAR REGION IS NOT SUPPORTED AND I GET BACK PAIN. SO, QUITE OFTEN I END UP WITH THE SEAT FORWARD TO SUPPORT MY LOWER BACK AND I SIT AT AN ANGLE TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT WITH MY HEAD TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD REST AND ARMS RESTING ON THE ARM RESTS. SO I DRIVE AT AN ANGLE IN THE SEAT WITH AN S IN MY BACK. THIS IS NOT GOOD FOR MY BACK OR POSTURE AND NOT SAFE BECAUSE I AM NOT FACING STRAIGHT FORWARD. I HAVE CALLED THE FORD DEALER I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM AND THEY DID NOT SEEM TO HAVE ANY SOLUTIONS FOR THIS, BUT NOTED THAT THERE HAVE BEEN PROBLEMS WITH THIS. IT WAS SUGGESTED THAT I CONTACT YOU AND REPORT THIS PROBLEM . I HAVE AND HOPE THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS ISSUE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS. *TR

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.

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.

Apr 20, 2020
DRIVING AND OUT OF NO WHERE, RECEIVE AN ERROR MESSAGE THAT SAYS "ODO DATA ERROR", THE CAR HOLDS THE CURRENT SPEED BUT IT'S VERY APPARENT THAT SOMETHING IS OFF AS THE CAR IS NOW MAKING A HUMMING/AIR PRESSURE SOUND (SPEEDOMETER & TACHOMETER STOPS WORKING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS) WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE WRENCH, AIRBAG, ABS, STABILITY CONTROL INDICATOR AND ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATE. WITHIN 5 MINUTES NEW ERROR APPEARS (TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR FAULT). ONCE YOU HAVE PRESSED THE BRAKES AND COME TO A COMPLETE STOP THE CAR IS EXTREMELY HESITANT TO ACCELERATE EVEN WITH THE GAS PEDAL PUSHED COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR IT DOESN'T GAIN POWER UNTIL IT HAS ROLLED ABOUT 15-20 FEET AND AT THAT POINT THERE IS A EXTREMELY LOUD BANG WHICH MAKES YOU THINK THE ENTIRE UNDERBELLY OF THE CAR HAS FALLEN OUT. AT THAT POINT IT REGAINS SPEED AGAIN, BUT IF YOU STOP IT DOES THE SAME THING ALL OVER. SWITCHING GEARS RESULT IN A LOUD BANG AND JERKING ACTION OF THE CAR WITH LITTLE TO NO ACCELERATION POWER. TEMPORARY REMEDY IS TO PULL OVER TURN CAR OFF WAIT A MINUTE OR TWO THEN RESTART THE CAR. AT THAT POINT WHEN SWITCHING GEARS THE BANG AND JERK HAPPEN AGAIN WITH THE CAR SLOW TO ACCELERATE FOR A FEW SECONDS THEN IT TAKES OFF LIKE A RACE HORSE. SOMETIMES THIS REMEDIES IT WHILE OTHER TIMES THE SAME PROCESS IS REPEATED MULTIPLE TIMES WITHIN ONE TRIP. THIS HAS OCCURRED ON CITY STREETS AND MAJOR EXPRESSWAYS AT SPEEDS OF 35 MPH TO 60 MPH. FIRST STARTED EXPERIENCING THE ISSUE AT ABOUT 170K MILES AND HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR OVER A YEAR WITH NO SOLUTIONS FROM MECHANICS. IF A MECHANIC WITH EQUIPMENT/COMPUTERS CAN'T REMEDY A REPAIR AND SEEING HOW THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME ISSUE FORD SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL TO REPAIR ANY COMPONENTS THAT COULD TRIGGER THE ISSUE. THIS IS PURE NEGLIGENCE SEEING THAT THERE ARE SO MANY COMPLAINTS. MY OPINION IS IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND COMPUTER SYSTEM.

DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY SUDDENLY SPEEDOMETER/ODOMETER STOPPED WORKING, LOW TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON AND CAR ACCELERATION DROPPED AND IT WOULDN'T RESPOND TO INCREASED PRESSURE ON GAS PEDAL. CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. HAD TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY. CAR WOULD ONLY TRAVEL AT A VERY LOW SPEED. MADE MY WAY TO A PARKING LOT AND SHUT THE CAR OFF. SHIFTING INTO ANY GEAR (REVERSE, DRIVE ETC.) CAUSED THE CAR TO JUMP/SHAKE AND MAKE A LOUD NOISE. AFTER A WHILE IT RESOLVED ITSELF. TOOK THE CAR TO A FORD DEALERSHIP. THEY CHECKED IT OUT, COULD FIND NO ISSUE (INCIDENTAL FINDING - CAR NEEDED BATTERY). BATTERY WAS REPLACED, PICKED UP CAR AND RESUMED DRIVING THE CAR. WITHIN A WEEK WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY (SECOND TIME SINCE PICKING THE CAR UP) AND HAD THE SAME THING HAPPEN. DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AND SUDDENLY SEE THE SPEEDOMETER/ODOMETER STOP WORKING, LOW TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT AND LOSE ABILITY TO CONTROL ACCELERATION OF VEHICLE. HAD TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY, CAR WOULDN'T TRAVEL AT ANYTHING OTHER THAN VERY LOW SPEED, JERKED WHEN SHIFTED ETC. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE AND WHEN LOOKING IT UP ONLINE I CAN SEE IT HAS HAPPENED TO MANY WITH THIS MODEL/YEAR. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO SUDDENLY LOSE THE ABILITY TO CONTROL ACCELERATION. WHY HAS THIS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED WITH A RECALL. IT SEEMS TO OCCUR ONCE THE CAR REACHES CLOSE TO 100K MILES. CAN'T HELP BUT WONDER WHY DEALERSHIP IS NOT AWARE BUT I CAN FIND REAMS OF DOCUMENTED ISSUES ONLINE. FYI - THIS CAR IS PRIMARILY DRIVEN BY MY 19 YEAR OLD SON AND BOTH INCIDENCES OCCURRED WHEN HE WAS DRIVING.

SPEEDOMETER DOESN'T WORK WHILE THIS IS HAPPENING. CANT ACCELERATE ONCE STOPPED. HAS TO TURN VEHICLE OFF TO RESET THE COMPUTER AND THE WRENCH LIGHT WILL GO OFF FOR A PERIOD OF TIME UNTIL IT DECIDES TO HAPPEN AGAIN.

VEHICLE INITIALLY WOULD NOT ACCELERATE BEYOND 10 MPH THEN COMPLETELY LOST POWER IN THE MIDDLE OF RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. LOCAL REPAIR CENTER REPORTED ISSUES WITH PCM AND WAS UNABLE TO FIX IT. SENT IT TO A FORD DEALER WHO CONFIRMED ISSUES WITH PCM THAT DAMAGED THE BODY THROTTLE, 3 ENGINE COILS, AND OTHER PARTS. HAD TO REPLACE PCM AND PARTS DAMAGED BY IT RESULTING IN A $2894.10 REPAIR BILL. THE FOLLOWING DAY AFTER REPAIR, WAS AGAIN IN THE MIDDLE OF RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC AND THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY LOSS POWER AGAIN. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN AND BASED ON RESEARCH, A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME THING. FORD NEED TO RECALL THIS ISSUE. I'M SO THANKFUL MY CHILD WAS NOT IN THE VEHICLE DURING THESE EVENTS.

THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED DUE TO THE LOSS OF POWER WHILE DRIVING WHEN THIS ISSUE FIRST STARTS.

THE CAR LOST POWER WHEN ENTERING THE FREEWAY. IT WAS MISFIRING AND WAS NOT ABLE TO KEEP UP WITH THE SPEED LIMIT. THE REPAIR SHOP FOUND THE COIL WAS MELTED AND CRACKED. THE ENGINE MISFIRED #6 CYLINDER. THE PCM MODULE DID NOT SHUT DOWN THE CYLINDER TO PREVENT THE MISFIRE, WHICH RESULTED IN THE DESTRUCTION OF THE IGNITION COIL, AND PCM MODULE. THE NEW PCM MODULE HAD TO BE PURCHASED FROM FORD AS NO AFTER MARKET EXISTED. THE REPAIR BILL WAS OVER TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS. WE WERE TOLD THIS COULD HAVE STARTED A FIRE. HOPING THE NEW MODULE WORKS PROPERLY.

TAKATA AIRBAG
Nov 02, 2018
THE NHTSA SAYS VEHICLES ARE BEING PRIORITIZED BASED ON THE LIKELIHOOD OF DANGER. FACTORS INCLUDE THE AGE OF YOUR CAR AND WHERE YOU LIVE. THIS IS DUE TO THE FACT THAT THERE'S A LINK BETWEEN MALFUNCTIONING AIR BAGS AND LONG-TERM EXPOSURE TO HEAT AND HIGH HUMIDITY. I AM IN ZONE B BUT I AM A 5 MINUTE DRIVE FROM SOUTH CAROLINA. SO MY QUESTION IS DOES THAT MEAN BECAUSE I AM 5 MILES FROM SOUTH CAROLINA, IS MY FAULTY AIRBAG SAFER THAN THE VEHICLES WITH THE FAULTY TAKATA AIRBAGS IN SC, ZONE A ? I FIRST RECEIVED NOTICE JULY, 2016. NOW FORD HAS RENTED ME A VEHICLE (SARDINE CAN) BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW WHEN REPLACEMENT PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE. THE FACT THAT THEY KNEW LONG BEFORE THIS VEHICLE WAS AVAILABLE FOR SALE THAT THE AIRBAGS WERE UNSAFE, IS TANTAMOUNT TO CRIMINAL NEGLIGENCE. IF THEY AREN'T CALLED TO TASK THEY WILL CONTINUE ENDANGERING LIVES IN ORDER TO INCREASE THE VALUE OF THEIR STOCK. MADE IN AMERICA USED TO MEAN SOMETHING, NOT ANYMORE. AT APPROXIMATELY 20,000 PUTTING THE CAR IN DRIVE OR REVERSE IT MAKES SOME CLUNKING NOISE AND HESITATES BEFORE IT ENGAGES. ON AN INCLINE THE CAR ROLLS BACK AND YOU HAVE TO WORK GAS AND BRAKE TOGETHER, THIS IS A AUTOMATIC, NOT A STICK SHIFT. AT 71 I DO NOT APPRECIATE THAT FORD HAS BEEN PLAYING RUSSIAN ROULETTE WITH THE LIVES OF MY MOM, DAUGHTER, GRANDDAUGHTERS & GREAT GRANDCHILDREN, THIS VEHICLE HASN'T BEEN SAFE FROM THE DAY IT ROLLED OFF THE ASSEMBLY LINE.

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 FORD MISREPRESENTS THEIR WARRANTY AND REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE DEFECTS THAT HAVE BEEN PUBLISHED IN THEIR WON ALERTS. SERIOUSLY DANGEROUS! THERE ARE NUMEROUS POSTINGS OF OTHER FORD EDGE OWNERS HAVING THESE PROBLEMS. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THEIR QUESTIONABLE PROTOCOLS ON DANGERS THAT ARE KNOWN WITH THEIR VEHICLES.

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

I HAVE A 2008 FORD EDGE. I HAVE BEEN PUTTING UP WITH MANY ISSUES UNTIL THE LAST ONE I EXPERIENCED LAST YEAR. MY USUAL PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN WHEN ON AN INCLINE & TRYING TO GO FORWARD, THE CAR WILL GO BACKWARDS CAUSING YOU TO HAVE YOUR FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND THE GAS AT THE SAME TIME SO YOU WILL NOT HIT THE CAR BEHIND YOU. ALSO THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS VERY HARD. WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE WILL JERK FOR NO APPARENT REASON. BUT THE LAST PROBLEM THAT CAUSED ME TO PARK THE VEHICLE WAS WHEN IT JUST STOPPED ACCELERATING IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. I WAS FORTUNATE TO BE ABLE TO COAST TO A NEARBY PARKING LOT. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE NOW. I CANNOT AFFORD TO TAKE IT TO A DEALERSHIP TO HAVE REPAIRS RIGHT NOW.

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.

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.

THE VEHICLE WOULD AT DIFFERENT TIMES, HAVE TROUBLE SHIFTING FROM PARK TO REVERSE, IN DRIVE, ETC. IT SOUNDED LIKE THE TRANSMISSION WAS BROKEN. THIS PROBLEM WOULD ARISE, AND THEN GO AWAY. THE FIRST TIME THE DEALERSHIP RESET THE COMPUTER, AND IT RAN FINE FOR WEEKS, THEN THE PROBLEM CAME ABOUT AGAIN, AND WENT AWAY, THE LAST TIME AROUND SEPT 18TH, IT WAS WORSE, SO I HAD IT TOWED AND REPAIRED. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE OUTPUT SHAFT SENSOR AND TURBIN SHAFT SENSOR AT A COST OF $700. I WAS IMPELLED TO REPORT A CONCERN, AFTER SEEING OTHER CONCERNS ON LINE FOR THE SAME ISSUES, AND A CUSTOMER OF MINE WHO HAS AN EDGE IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES. FORD MOTOR COMPANY, AND THE DEALERSHIPS DO NOT SEEM TO WANT TO SERIOUSLY ADDRESS THIS ISSUE, AND I FELT LIKE THEY WERE TRYING TO AVOID ADMITTING TO A MAJOR PROBLEM. *KB

RIGHT AFTER I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE, I NOTICED THAT IT HAD A BAD JERK, AND CHUGGING IN THE TRANSMISSION. WITH THE OVERDRIVE "OFF", IT KEEPS THE RPM'S ABOVE 2000, AND PREVENTS IT FROM CHUGGING AND JERKING IN THE TRANSMISSION. WITH THE OVERDRIVE ON IT GEARS DOWN EXTREMELY LOW AFTER GOING DOWN TO 2000 RPM'S, AND LOSSES A LOT OF POWER. WHEN PRESSING DOWN THE GAS PEDAL, IT CHUGS AND JERKS SEVERELY. I HAVE TO LET OFF THE GAS AND THEN REAPPLY THE GAS TO STOP IT FROM JERKING. ALSO, THE POWER STEERING POPS AND MAKES NOISES. I GOT IN THE CAR TODAY AND HAD NO BRAKE POWER AT ALL. THEN HAD NO BRAKES UNLESS I PUSHED THE BRAKE PEDAL DOWN WITH EXTREME FORCE. AND IT WAS STILL EXTREMELY HARD TO STOP MY VEHICLE. UPON SEARCHING ONLINE, I AM FINDING THAT THESE ARE VERY COMMON ISSUES WITH THE 2008 FORD EDGE VEHICLES. THERE SHOULD BE SOME TYPE OF RECALL ON THIS MODEL OF FORD EDGE WHEN THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM, IN MY OPINION. I DID A SEARCH FOR MY VIN NUMBER AND IT SHOWS "NO" RECALLS FOR MY VEHICLE.

WHILE DRIVING ,IN FULL MOTION, , THE CAR COMES TO AN ALMOST STOP! SCARES YOU TO DEATH, YOU CHECK TO MAKE SURE YOU HAVEN'T ACCIDENTLY PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL , ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH LIGHT UP ,THE CHECK ENGINE, THE LOW TIRE GAGE SYMBOL, THE TOOL LIGHT,, THE SPEEDOMETER STOPS WORKING, . THE CAR REFUSE TO MOVE FORWARD, PLACED IN REVERSE IT MOVES BACKWARD ,THE FORD DEALER IS UNABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM ,CODES DON'T SHOW UP TO HELP IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM. THE DANGER IS IT HAPPENS WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING. ITS BEEN DIAGNOSED AS A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM (VERY EXPENSIVE) BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT IT IS. YOU REPROGRAM IT TEMPORARY, BY TAKING THE POSITIVE BATTERY CABLE LOOSE FOR A FEW SECONDS, THE CAR DRIVES PERFECT UNTIL IT HAPPENS AGAIN, ITS HAPPEN THREE TIMES WITH THIS CAR, I HAVE CALLED THE FORD COOPERATE OFFICE TO REPORT THIS PROBLEM.

I ALWAYS MAINTAINED MY "PRE-OWNED" VEHICLE, PURCHASED FROM DEALERSHIP WITH 25,000 MILES. BEGAN TO EXPERIENCE A PLETHORA OF PROBLEMS AFTER 2,000 MILES. I'VE PAID OVER $8,000 IN REPAIRS AND ONLY DROVE IT 35,000 IN 8 YEARS TIME, BUT MAINTAINED IT PROPERLY & REGULARLY: I'VE HAD TO CHANGE THE BRAKES & PADS, & BATTERY TWICE, IT'S WHEEL RIMS CONSTANTLY LEAK AIR IN THE WINTER CAUSING FLAT TIRES, CHANGED ALL 4 TIRES, AND ON AUGUST 2, 20017, WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH, MY STEERING CONTROL SUDDENLY LOCKED UP! THERE WAS NO CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE'S MOVEMENTS- NO ABILITY TO MAKE LANE ADJUSTMENTS OR TURNS! I AND MY ENTIRE FAMILY INCLUDING GRANDCHILDREN COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED!! LUCKILY, THE NEXT OFF-RAMP WAS A STRAIGHT SHOT & I WAS ABLE TO EXIT THE HWY SAFELY AND BRING THE VEHICLE TO STOP DESPITE NO STEERING CONTROL. I HAD MY VEHICLE TOWED TO A FORD DEALERSHIP WHICH INCORRECTLY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM, & DID NOT BOTHER TO INSPECT IT FOR THREE DAYS. IT NOW NEEDS A COSTLY ($1500) RACK AND PINION TO REPLACE IT'S RUSTED OUT PRESSURIZED FUEL LINE FOR POWER STEERING FLUID. IT REMAINS UNREPAIRED TO DATE SINCE THERE IS ALSO A TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL W/ POSSIBLE FATAL INJURY ON THIS VIN. THE REPAIRS HAVE BEEN DELAYED BECAUSE THIS VEHICLE IS AN UNSAFE DANGER TO DRIVE! THE FUEL LINE DEFECT WAS UNDETECTABLE EVEN THOUGH I HAD REGULAR MAINTENANCE CARE AND CHECKUPS.

WRENCH LIGHT, DASHES ON ODOMETER, SPEEDOMETER ON ZERO, AIRBAG LIGHT ON. LOSES THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE PROPERLY. IT HAS HAPPENED 6 TIMES THIS MONTH, USUALLY ON THE HIGHWAY AFTER I'VE HAD TO SLOW DOWN WITH TRAFFIC AND TRY TO ACCELERATE AGAIN. GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD OR A PARKING LOT AND SHUT THE CAR OFF. RESTART IT ALL WARNING LIGHTS ARE GONE BUT STILL WILL NOT ACCELERATE. SHIFT IN AND OUT OF REVERSE AND DRIVE WITH VERY LOUD KNOCKING AND JERKING. MOVE CAR BACK AND FORTH. RESTART AND REPEAT MULTIPLE TIMES BEFORE IT RESETS ITSELF. IT NEVER HAPPENS BY SOMEWHERE THAT CAN SCAN IT TO GET A CODE. AS THE WRENCH LIGHT GOES OFF AND STAYS OFF AFTER YOU RESTART THE CAR NO ONE CAN TELL ME WHAT'S WRONG. IT IS EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING. I AM QUICKLY LOSING FAITH IN FORD AND THEIR REGARDS FOR CUSTOMERS SAFETY. GOOD THING I DON'T LIVE WHERE THERE ARE MOUNTAINS BECAUSE IF I DID I AM SURE I WOULD HAVE BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT BY NOW. IT HAS HAPPENED TWICE THIS WEEK. 5 TIMES WERE HIGHWAY 1 WAS ON A BUSY 4 LANE ROAD. IT HAS JERKED WHEN SHIFTING AROUND 45 MPH FOR ABOUT 3 YEARS NOW.

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.

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.

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.

I DROVE THE CAR TO FORD AFTER CALLING MY INSURANCE COMPANY. I WAS TOLD TODAY THAT THERE WAS NO "STRUCTURAL DEFECT" SO FORD WAS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPLACEMENT. IT IS 1300 DOLLARS FOR A NEW SUNROOF, 10 DAYS BEFORE CHRISTMAS. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE I FOUND MY CAR WAS NOT THE ONLY ONE TO HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN. HAD THE COVER NOT BEEN CLOSED, SHARDS OF GLASS WOULD HAVE RAINED DOWN ON ME AS WELL AS MY SON IN THE BACKSEAT. WE COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED EITHER FROM THE GLASS OR AN ACCIDENT. THIS NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO AND SOON BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY HURT OR LOSES THEIR LIFE. *TR

THE VECHILE LOSS POWER AND STALLED OUT. AFTER THAT THE CAR ON THE SECOND OCCURRENCE WON"T START HAD TO CHARGE BATTERY THE CAR RACED WHILED IDLING AND HAD NO POWER TO RUN. WENT BACK TO THE DEALER AND ARE UNABLE TO FIND ANY PROBLEM. SO WE ARE NOW STUCK WITH A CAR THAT WILL SHUT DOWN AND LOSE ALL POWER WHICH IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE DO TO THE FACT THAT IF WE DROVE IT AT NIGHT AND STALLS OUT WE LOSE ALL POWER AND WITH NO POWER THE OTHER CARS MAY RUN INTO US AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT WHICH WE ARE UNABLE TO PREVENT. THANK YOU THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) *TT

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND UPON ACCELERATION FROM A COMPLETE STOP, THE VEHICLE RANDOMLY WOULD GO INTO A "NEUTRAL-LIKE" STATE. RPMS WOULD INCREASE DRAMATICALLY, BUT THE CAR WOULD CRAWL BETWEEN 3-5MPH. THE MESSAGE, "OD READ ERROR" WOULD DISPLAY ON THE DASHBOARD, POWER STEERING WOULD GO OUT AND BRAKES WOULD NOT RESPOND WELL (IT WAS AS IF THE CAR HAD TURNED OFF). WHEN SHIFTING FROM DRIVE TO PARK OR REVERSE, THE VEHICLE WOULD JERK FORWARD VIOLENTLY, AS IF REAR-ENDED. ONCE THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF AND STARTED AGAIN, THE PROBLEM WOULD GO AWAY. WE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES AND THE DEALERSHIP EVEN DETERMINED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THIS WAS ONLY AT 37,600 MILES. THE DEALER SAID IT WAS A TRANSMISSION ISSUE, BUT IT APPEARS TO BE AN ON-BOARD COMPUTER ISSUE AS WELL. AFTER TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED, 5 WEEKS LATER HAD ISSUE WITH SHIFTING INTO FIRST GEAR. VEHICLE SHIFTED VERY HARD INTO FIRST GEAR. CAR IS BACK DOWN AT THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN. WROTE A LETTER TO FORD EXPRESSING MY CONCERN AND REQUESTED THE CAR BE REPURCHASED, THEY DENIED MY REQUEST. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER, WHERE THE TECHNICIANS REPLACED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL SENSOR. AFTER THE REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED, THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO STALL AND WOULD NOT RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHERE THE MECHANIC STATED THE FUEL PUMP AND FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE THE FUEL PUMP MELTED A HOLE INTO THE FUEL TANK, WHICH COULD HAVE CAUSED A FIRE. THE FUEL PUMP AND FUEL TANK WERE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

TIRES
1 complaint
MY 2008 FORD EDGE HAS TIRE PRESSURE MONITORS WHICH INDICATES MY TIRE PRESSURE IS DANGEROUSLY LOW WHEN I CHANGE RIMS AND TIRES TO MY SNOW TIRES TWICE A YEAR. WHEN I PURCHASED THE TIRES FROM LES SCHWAB TIRES I WAS ASSURED THAT THEY WHERE ABLE TO RESET THIS SYSTEM IF NECESSARY. APPARENTLY THIS IS NOT THE CASE AND THE SYSTEM MUST BE RESET BY A FORD SERVICE. LAST YEAR FORD RESET THE SYSTEM WHICH TAKES ABOUT ONE MINUTE, WHEN I BROUGHT MY CAR IN FOR 5000 MILE SERVICE.. THIS YEAR I WAS TOLD BY LAKE CITY FORD IN COEUR D ALENE, ID WHEN I BROUGHT MY CAR IN FOR SERVICE THAT THERE IS A $24.95 CHARGE TO RESET THE TPM'S. KNOWING HUMAN NATURE IT IS MY BELIEF THAT IF THE CONSUMING PUBLIC HAS TO PAY $25 TWICE A YEAR TO RESET THE SYSTEM THE ADVANTAGE OF HAVING TPM WILL NOT BE OF ANY BENEFIT SINCE MOST PEOPLE WILL SIMPLY NOT HAVE THE SYSTEM RESET AND IGNORE DASH BOARD WARNINGS OF POTENTIAL TIRE FAILURE. THIS IS NOT IN THE BEST INTEREST OF PUBLIC SAFETY AND POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS. A SAFETY SYSTEM SO IMPORTANT AND A ONE MINUTE RESET PROCESS TO RESET IT DOES NOT SEEM LOGICAL TO DISCOURAGE IT'S BENEFITS BY CHANGING $24.95. *TR

1 complaint
EVENTS LEADING UP TO FAILURE: WAS DRIVING CAR AT A VERY SLOW RATE OF SPEED (LESS THAN 5 MPH) MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN INTO A COMMERCIAL SHOPPING CENTER. FAILURE: UPON MAKING TURN, I HEARD A "POP" NOISE. AFTER TRYING TO ACCELERATE THE VEHICLE, IT WOULD NOT MOVE. I GOT OUT OF THE CAR AND NOTICED THAT THE WHEEL HAD BECOME DETACHED FROM THE AXLE AND WAS ONLY ATTACHED TO THE VEHICLE BY THE STRUT. BEARINGS HAD FALLEN OUT OF THE RELATED COMPONENTS AND THE WHEEL WAS AT APPROXIMATELY A 60% ANGLE WITH THE PAVEMENT (OTHER WHEEL WAS FINE AND WAS PERPENDICULAR TO PAVEMENT). CORRECTION OF FAILURE: TOWING TRUCK RESPONDED AND THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY BEING SERVICED UNDER THE MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY. INITIAL REPORT FROM THE SERVICE TEAM IS THAT IT IS MOST LIKELY MANUFACTURER DEFECT. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT ALL PARTS RELATED IN ACCIDENT WILL BE REPLACED OR REFURBISHED TO MAINTAIN 100% WORKING ORDER. *TR
