NHTSA Complaint #10703923 — 2008 FORD EDGE

THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM FOR A WHILE NOW (YEARS). WHAT IS HAPPENING IS MY TRANSMISSION IS STRUGGLING TO SHIFT INTO GEAR, BUT MORE OFTEN WHEN TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 15-25 MPH. AT THIS SPEED, IT WILL SHIFT BUT OFTENTIMES WHEN IT SHIFTS THERE IS A THUD AND HARD JERK, ALMOST SEEMING AS MY TRANSMISSION IS GOING TO DROP RIGHT OUT OF MY CAR. WHEN I FIRST HAD THIS DIAGNOSED, THE DEALERSHIP THOUGHT PERHAPS MY PCM NEEDED RECALIBRATED. SHORTLY AFTER THE RECALIBRATION, THE ENTIRE PCM FRIED AND IT NEEDED REPLACED. LUCKILY, IT WAS COVERED UNDER AN 80,000 MILE WARRANTY (MY CAR HAD ABOUT 75,000 MILES ON IT...PHEW). NEEDLESS TO SAY, AFTER THE ENTIRE PCM REPLACEMENT, MY CAR STILL STRUGGLES TO SHIFT AND, UNFORTUNATELY, IT SEEMS LIKE I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. *TR
