2007 FORD EDGE TRANSMISSION JOLTS AFTER DECELERATION AND PUSHING THE GAS AGAIN. THIS SOMETIMES ALSO IS FOLLOWED BY SLUGGISH BEHAVIOR. FORD JUST KEEPS NOT FINDING NOTHING "WRONG" EVEN AFTER INSPECTION, REPLACED PARTS, AND VIDEO OF THE EVENTS TAKING PLACE. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF REPORTS OF SIMILAR ISSUES ONLINE. SOUNDS LIKE FORD NEEDS A RECALL BAD ON THE TRANSMISSION ISSUES! THIS EVENT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR HAS BEEN REPLACED. FORD SAYS NO PROBLEMS EXIST.

FOR THE LAST YEAR OR MORE MY CAR (2007 FORD EDGE SEL) HAS BEEN STALLING. I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE INTO FORD WHILE IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND WAS TOLD THEY DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING. IT CONTINUED TO HAPPEN ON AND OFF SO WE BROUGHT IT BACK TO FORD IN JUNE 2010 AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING THEY HOOKED IT UP TO THE COMPUTER AND DID AN UPDATE, THEY THOUGHT THIS WOULD SOLVE IT. A WEEK LATER IT STARTED AGAIN BUT THIS TIME STARTED STALLING WHILE DRIVING. IT HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN A WINDING HILL, I LOST COMPLETED CONTROL OF THE CAR AND HAD NO STEERING, I QUICKLY SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL AND RESTARTED WHILE TRYING TO KEEP THE CAR ON THE ROAD. IT WAS VERY SCARY AS I HAD MY 2 CHILDREN IN THE CAR. THE CAR IS CURRENTLY BACK AT FORD AND HAS BEEN FOR THE LAST...

MY HUSBAND & I OWN A 2007 FORD EDGE. WE ARE A MILITARY FAMILY WITH MY HUSBAND SERVING IN THE USAF. NEEDLESS TO SAY WE TRAVEL VERY OFTEN BY CAR TO VISIT FAMILY MEMBERS ALL OVER THE COUNTRY. SINCE HAVING OUR FIRST BABY 8 MONTHS AGO ON THIS LATEST CAR TRIP WE DECIDED TO USE OUR CARGO ROOF RACK FOR THE FIRST TIME. THIS ROOF RACK IS THE RACK THAT CAME ON THE FORD EDGE FROM THE MANUFACTURER. WE DECIDED TO BUY A SMALL 36"X30"X18" CARGO BAG (CLOTH) TO PUT A FEW ITEMS IN & CARRY ON THE ROOF. FIVE MINUTES INTO THE TRIP ON THE HIGHWAY IN THE HOV LANE WE HEARD A LOUD SNAP NOISE & THE ENTIRE ROOF RACK BROKE OFF WITH OUR CARGO BAG & WENT FLYING OFF BEHIND US IN EARLY AM RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC NEARLY CAUSING A CAR ACCIDENT. NO SHOULDER ON THE HIGHWAY...

WE PURCHASED OUR 2007 FORD EDGE ON APRIL 18TH 2008 AT THAT TIME THE AIR BAG LIGHT WAS ON...THE DEALER REPLACED THE SENSORS. ON MAY 2ND WE TOOK IT BACK INTO OUR LOCAL DEALERSHIP FOR THE LIGHT WAS BACK ON AGAIN. THEY REPLACED THE CORRECT SENSOR AND IT MADE IT UNTIL OCTOBER WHEN THE LIGHT WAS BACK ON FOR THE THIRD TIME SINCE WE OWNED THE VEHICLE. THIS TIME THEY REPLACED ANOTHER SENSOR AND WORKED ON THE SUNROOF FOR IT WAS NOT CLOSING RIGHT. IN NOVEMBER 2008 THE LIGHT WAS BACK ON AGAIN AND THIS TIME WIRING WAS REPLACED. THREE WEEKS LATER THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN CIRCUITS WERE CHECKED FOR SHORTS? THEN IN JUNE 2009 THE AIR BAG LIGHT WAS BACK ON AND THIS TIME FLICKERS ON AND OFF. THEY INSTALLED A NEW RMC, ANOTHER SENSOR AND THE RESTRAINT CONTROL MODULE. DECEMBER 3RD WE TOOK IT BACK...

BURNING SMELL ORIGINATING FROM FAILED SEAL (NOW ON NATIONAL BACKORDER THIS PAST YEAR) IN PTU ASSEMBLY ON MOST FORD EDGE AND MERCURY MKX MODELS. I'VE HAD MY VEHICLE IN THE SHOP 3 TIMES OVER THE PAST YEAR AND THEY DO NOT HAVE REPLACEMENT PTU ASSEMBLIES IN STOCK AS THE COMPANY WHO MADE THEM ARE NOW OUT OF BUSINESS. TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAKS FROM PTU ASSEMBLY ONTO EXHAUST, INTO VENTS AND INTO OUR LUNGS. VEHICLE IS STILL IN THE SERVICE AREA AT MIDWAY FORD IN ROSEVILLE, MN. THEY SAY I CAN DRIVE IT UNTIL THEY FIND A PART, HOWEVER IT IS WINTER AND THAT IS NOT AN OPTION AS THE WINDOWS MUST REMAIN OPEN.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS TECH INTERNATIONAL VALVE STEMS, MODEL TR413. ON JULY 16, 2008, WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE TIRES BLEW OUT.

THE MECHANIC ALSO STATED THAT THE VALVE STEMS WERE INCLUDED IN A RECALL. TECH INTERNATIONAL STATED THAT THEY WOULD ONLY REIMBURSE THE CONTACT FOR REPAIRING THE TIRES IF THEY HAD BEEN REPLACED INSTEAD OF THE ORIGINALS. THEY ADVISED HIM TO CONTACT FORD. FORD CONFIRMED THAT THEY WERE THE ORIGINAL TIRES AND WOULD BE UNABLE TO REIMBURSE HIM BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT THE MANUFACTURERS OF THE TIRES.
