NHTSA Complaint #10510042 — 2008 FORD EDGE

I AM UNABLE TO "SELECT AFFECTED PARTS" IN THIS FORM: PARTS - POWER TRAIN, TRANSMISSION, BATTERY. OVER THE PAST 6 MONTHS THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS INCIDENTS WHERE MY VEHICLE, UPON RETURNING TO SPEED OR ENTERING A ROADWAY/HIGHWAY, OR OTHERWISE ENTERING A ROADWAY, IT HAS MADE A NOISE, A SUDDEN JERK, SEEM TO HOLD SPEED (FAIL TO INCREASE SPEED) AND SEEMS TO FEEL LIKE IT IS FAILING TO CHANGED GEARS (APPEARS TO REV IN RPMS SLIGHTLY), THEN JERKS AGAIN, AND COMES BACK INTO ROUTINE SHIFTING. IT IS AN AUTOMATIC. THIS HAPPENS OFTEN. I HAVE HAD THE FLUID CHECK, FLUSHED, REPLACED, ASKED MY MECHANIC AND SHE CAN FIND NO ISSUES. IT SEEMS TO FEEL LIKE IT BOGS DOWN, BUT RPMS APPEAR TO INCREASE (ALMOST AS IF IT IS NOT IN GEAR/NEUTRAL). IT SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING MORE AND MORE FREQUENTLY. I HAVE ROUTINELY CHECKED MY CAR FOR RECALLS. AND I SHOULD NOTE HAVE HAD THE BALL BEARING GO BAD (AS RECALLED) AND REPLACED, INCLUDING THE ENTIRE ARM ON THE LEFT REAR. ADDITIONALLY, MY BATTERY HAS FAILED AND BEEN REPLACED (APPROXIMATELY 3 YEARS AGO) AND HAS SINCE REQUIRED REPLACEMENT AGAIN. IT NEEDS TO BE JUMPED STARTED, AND UPON FIRST REPLACEMENT (BY FORD) IT WAS NOTED NOT ALL CYLINDERS OR CELLS WERE CHARGED/CHARGING. *TR
