NHTSA Complaint #10382410 — 2007 FORD EDGE

THE SPEEDOMETER WENT TO ZERO AND ALL THE MILEAGE INFORMATION WENT BLANK. THE FRONT AIRBAG LIGHT, SERVICE WRENCH AND SHORTLY THERE AFTER THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR LIGHT CAME ON. I EXITED THE FREEWAY AND AFTER STOPPING FOR THE TRAFFIC LIGHT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE, BUT MOVED SLOWLY APPARENTLY STUCK IN THE HIGH GEARS. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT UP OR DOWN. THE NEXT STOP LIGHT THE SAME PROBLEM. I PARKED IN A PARKING LOT AND RECYCLED THE IGNITION AND THE MILEAGE INFORMATION RETURNED. HOWEVER WHEN I PUT THE VEHICLE INTO REVERSE THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO CLUNK VIOLENTLY! I THEN SWITCHED TO DRIVE AND AGAIN IT CLUNKED VIOLENTLY! I RECYCLED THE IGNITION AGAIN AND PUT IT INTO REVERSE AGAIN CLUNKING VIOLENTLY. I AGAIN RECYCLED THE IGNITION AND PUT INTO REVERSE THE VEHICLE TRANS CLUNKED MOVING BACKWARDS. I THEN PULLED FORWARD SHIFTING TO DRIVE AGAIN WITH A CLUNK THE VEHICLE MOVED FORWARD AS IF STILL IN HIGHER GEARS. I DROVE ACROSS THE PARKING LOT TO ABOUT 30 MPH AND BRAKED TO A STOP IT DOWN SHIFTED HARD. AFTER THAT THE TRANS WORKED TO GET US HOME, HOWEVER THE CRUISE CONTROL WOULD NOT LIGHT UP ON THE DASH OR WOULD NOT FUNCTION PERIOD. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO HEMBORG FORD IN NORCO, CA TO CHECK WITH 59,175 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. JUST TWO WEEKS EARLIER THE RIGHT REAR AXLE BEARING WAS WINING AND FORD REPLACED THE BEARING
