NHTSA Complaint #11325726 — 2007 FORD EDGE

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD I NOTICED MY SPEED AT 0 MY ODOMETER AT 0...THOUGHT THAT WAS WEIRD. NOTICED WRENCH LIGHT, ENGINE LIGHT,AND AIRBAG LIGHT. CAME TO A STOP LIGHT AND STOPPED. UPON TAKEOFF WAS NEARLY REAR ENDED BECAUSE I WAS BARELY CREEPING.. RPMS STAYED AROUND 2K-3K..... PULLED IT INTO A PARKING LOT AND SWITCHED GEARS....LOUD CLANGS AND JERKS AS I'M SHIFTING. TURNED OFF CAR AND RESTARTED TO HAVE THE SAME LIGHTS AND SAME CLANKS AS I'M SHIFTING. I PULL OUT OF THE PARKING LOT SINCE I'M A MILE AWAY FROM HOME AND EVEN THOUGH I PULLED OUT WITH PLENTY OF TIME I WAS ALMOST TBONED. GOT IT HOME AND SHUT IT DOWN. I HAVE AROUND 255,000 MILES ON IT. OILS CHANGED. MAINTENANCE UPKEEP AND EVERYTHING. THIS ALL HAPPENED ON CITY STREETS, WHILE IN MOTION AND SITTING STILL. I SERIOUSLY DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW FORD IS ALLOWED TO OVERLOOK THIS AND NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING THESE VERY WELL KNOWN ISSUES THAT ARE A HAZARD TO DRIVERS....NOT JUST TO MYSELF BUT TO OTHERS AROUND ME AS WELL. THERE ARE WAY TOO MANY COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE FOR IT NOT TO BE TAKEN CARE OF. *TR
