NHTSA Complaint #10447523 — 2007 FORD EDGE

OK, ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. I HAVE A 2007 FORD EDGE AND IT IS HAVING HARD ENGAGEMENT ISSUES WHEN SHIFTING GEARS. ALSO, A COUPLE OF TIMES I HAVE BEEN READY TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND IT'S AS IF MY CAR IS SITTING IN NEUTRAL. I HAVE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK, TURN IT OFF, START AND PUT BACK INTO DRIVE FOR IT TO START GOING AGAIN. VERY UNSAFE AND WORRIES ME DRIVING MY KIDS AROUND IN THE CAR WITH THESE PROBLEMS. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP ON A COUPLE OF OCCASIONS WITH THESE PROBLEMS AND WAS TOLD THAT THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST WAS NOT "THROWING A CODE" SO BASICALLY THERE IS NOT A FIX. THEY DO HOWEVER ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF THESE COMPLAINTS AND A DEFINITE ISSUE BUT THEY COULD DO NOTHING UNLESS A RECALL WAS DONE. IT'S GETTING WORSE AND THE OTHER DAY I TOOK SOMEWHERE ELSE AND WAS TOLD FORD HAS AN UPDATE NOW TO HELP SOME OF THE ISSUES PCM UPDATE TO THE COMPUTER. GUESS WHAT...IT DIDN'T HELP MINE AND THEY SAID I FOR SURE NOW HAVE SOME TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS DUE TO THE HARD SHIFTING PROBLEMS I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING. WELL, NO KIDDING! OK, WHEN YOU HAVE YOUR DEALERSHIPS TELLING YOU THEY KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM BUT THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT, THAT'S JUST CRAZY. WE NEED FOR THERE TO BE SOME AWARENESS AND ACTION TO THESE PROBLEMS. *TR
