2007 FORD EDGE Power Train Problems

CAR IS SKIPPING OR JERKING WHEN GOING UP HILLS. HAPPENS MULTIPLE TIMES WHEN CAR IS MOVING UP HILLS. MOST LIKELY TRANSMISSION PROBLEM OR SENSOR PROBLEM. *TR

MY 16 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING TO SCHOOL. SHE WAS IN A 45 MILE PER HOUR ZONE. A CAR PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF HER SO SHE LET OFF OF THE GAS. WHEN SHE PUSHED ON THE GAS AGAIN HER CAR WOULD NOT GO. THE RPMS WENT WAY UP BUT THE CAR WOULDN'T GO. THE WRENCH (CHECK ENGINE LIGHT) CAME ON. SHE WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. SHE TURNED THE CAR OFF AND IT MADE ONE LOUD POP/PUFF NOISE. ONCE SHE TURNED THE CAR BACK ON IT WAS FINE. THIS HAS SINCE HAPPENED THREE MORE TIMES. WHEN I LOOKED ON THE INTERNET IT APPEARS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE FORD EDGE. THIS IS A HUGE CONCERN TO ME. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM AS THERE COULD BE SERIOUS ACCIDENTS AS A RESULT OF FORD'S NEGLIGENCE. THEY KNOW...

ON JANUARY 16 2009 LEAK ON FRONT AXLE SEAL. FORD DEALER REPLACED PTU COVER AND INTERMEDIATE SHAFT SEAL. ON MAY 29, 2009 LEAK WAS DETECTED AGAIN FROM PTU UNIT. FORD REPLACED AGAIN! ON JUNE 9 2014 VEHICLE HAS LEAKS OF PTU AND REAR DIFFERENTIAL SEAL AGAIN. OUT OF WARRANTY! ESTIMATE COST TO REPAIR IS $1600. AFTER RESEARCH THE PTU IS A PROBLEM ON THE FORD EDGE 2007 AND 2008 MODELS. FORD WILL NOT ADMIT THERE IS A PROBLEM. *TR

OIL LEAKING FROM PTU UNIT FORD WANTS $ 1600 TO FIX WHAT SEEMS TO BE A FAULTY (DEFECTIVE) SYSTEM IN FORD EDGES. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE AND NOTICED IT JERKING AND HESITATING TO ACCELERATE. THE ENGINE LIGHT BECAME BLINKING RAPIDLY AND I NOTICED A BURNING SMELL. I TOOK MY CAR TO A SHOP, WHO STATED THAT ONE OF THE COILS HAD MELTED AND CRACKED. THEY REPLACED THE COILS AND ALL SPARK PLUGS. PICKED MY VEHICLE UP AND STILL HAD THE SAME ISSUES, CONSTANT JERKING, ENGINE LIGHT STILL ON, AND STILL NOT WANTING TO ACCELERATE. TOOK VEHICLE BACK THE FOLLOWING DAY, SHOP STATED THE PCM WAS BAD AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I THEN CONTACTED A LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP, WHO CLAIMED THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF THIS ISSUE, AND I WOULD NEED TO PAY FOR THEM TO RUN THEIR OWN DIAGNOSTICS ON IT, EVEN THOUGH I WAS WELL AWARE OF WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT. AS OF RIGHT NOW THE CAR IS STILL NOT FIXED, AND RUNS HORRIBLY. I REFUSE TO SPEND...

WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH AND SLOWING DOWN, THE CAR SUDDENLY JERKED FORWARD LIKE SOMEONE REAR ENDED ME. PARKED THE CAR AND TESTED NEXT DAY, SAME RESULT. MADE APPOINTMENT WITH LOCAL FORD SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THEY PULLED CODES P0720 AND P0722 AND FOLLOWED TSB 07-21-11. DID NOT FIX PROBLEM. REPLACED OUTPUT SPEED SENSOR AND TURBINE SPEED SENSOR. PROBLEM STILL EXISTS AFTER BILL OF $1145.31 AND NOW CAR WILL ONLY DRIVE IN 1ST AND 2ND GEAR SO IT IS ALMOST USELESS. *TR

2007 FORD EDGE. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED ON JUNE 25, 2014, THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER TO DIAGNOSE AN ISSUE THAT HAD OCCURRED ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION. IT WAS DETERMINED BY THE DEALER, THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONSUMER STATED THE FIRST TIME SHE NOTICED A PROBLEM, OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING IN HEAVY STOP-AND-GO-TRAFFIC IN THE CENTER LANE. ALL OF A SUDDEN, THE RPM'S DROPPED TO ZERO AND THE VEHICLE ABRUPTLY STOPPED. SHE PLACED THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND LUCKILY IT STARTED. IT RAN A BIT SLUGGISHLY FOR A FEW MILES AND THEN RESUMED TO NORMAL OPERATION. THE CONSUMER STATED THE INCIDENT HAPPENED A SECOND TIME. *JB

DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY, SPEEDOMETER DROPS TO ZERO THEN DASH LIGHTS ALL COME ON. GET OFF HIGHWAY PULL OVER AND CAR DOES NOT MOVE. WAIT ABOUT 20 MINUTES, PUT CAR IN D, HEAR LOUD BANG, CAR LUNGES FORWARD A LITTLE THEN DRIVES NORMALLY. SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED WAS ON HIGHWAY AT @60MPH WHEN SAME THING HAPPENS, GET OFF HIGHWAY AND STOP AT 2ND RED LIGHT WHEN THE CAR DOES NOT MOVE AT ALL. LET CAR SIT FOR @10 MIN. THEN IT STARTS GOING @10MPH, AFTER ABOUT 1 MILE RESUMES NORMAL OPERATION. HAVE BROUGHT TO LOCAL FORD DEALER AND HAD 2 SENSORS REPLACED ALONG WITH A TRANSMISSION FLUID EXCHANGE BUT NOW TODAY IT HAPPENED AGAIN WHEN I STOPPED AT BUSY BACK ROAD INTERSECTION THEN TRIED TO RESUME SPEED THE VEH. WOULD NOT MOVE. E-MAILED LOCAL FORD DEALER TO LET THEM KNOW THAT ISSUE WAS HAPPENING ONCE AGAIN AFTER SENSORS WERE REPLACED....

I WAS DRIVING MY 2007 FORD EDGE WITH 3 CHILDREN IN IT WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN I LOST THE ABILITY TO NOT ONLY ACCELERATE BUT MY SPEED SUDDENLY FELL FROM 45 MILES AN HOUR TO 15 MILES AN HOUR WITHOUT ANY ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. MY CAR WAS IN A CONSTANT STATE OF SHAKING AND SPUTTERING AND INCREASED WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES. THERE WAS SOMETHING SIGNIFICANTLY WRONG AND IT WAS PRETTY SCARY TO EXPERIENCE PARTICULARLY WITH 3 SMALL CHILDREN. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO MY AUTOMOTIVE SERVICE COMPANY WHERE THE CAR'S SOFTWARE SYSTEM DISPLAYED CODES INDICATING TWO IGNITION CODES FAILED. SUBSEQUENTLY, THE SERVICE PROVIDER REPLACED ALL THE SPARK PLUGS AND TWO COILS. THE CAR WAS NOT FIXED AND IT WAS FURTHER DETERMINED THAT THE PCM BOARD IS SENDING EXTREMELY HIGH CURRENT TO THE IGNITION COILS AND COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ENGINE FIRE. THIS IS VERY DISTRESSING. FORD HAS ISSUED...

BOUGHT THE CAR USED FROM A FORD DEALER WITH 46,138 MILES AND PURCHASED AN EXTEND WARRANTY 07/17/2010 IN DEC 2010 NOTICED A SMELL FROM CAR , TOOK IT TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP, HE PRINTED ME OUT THE FORD TSB 09-25-7 THAT IDENTIFIED THE PROBLEM WITH THE RIGHT HAND INT SHAFT LEAK ON THE POWER TRANSFER UNIT (PTU) I TOOK TO A LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP, THEY CONFIRMED THE PROBLEM AND FIXED, UNDER THE ORIGINAL CAR WARRANTY.(55,799 MILES) IN AUG 2012 NOTICED THE SAME SMELL, WENT AN OTHER FORD DEALERSHIP(9-12-12), SAME PROBLEM WITH PTU SEALS, AND NOT COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. PAID APPROXIMATELY $800 TO REPAIR. IN MAY 2014 SAME SMELL AGAIN, TOOK BACK TO THE DEALER WHO DID THE LAST REPAIR (6-27-14), PTU AGAIN, EXCEPT THIS TIME IT NEEDED SEALS PLUS A NEW PTU OVER $1,400 TO REPAIR. THE SMELL COMES FROM THE FLUID DRIPPING ONTO THE EXHAUST, NOT...

PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND EXPERIENCED VERY HARSH SHIFTING. THE TRANSMISSION SHUTTERED AND SHOOK, ALMOST REFUSING TO GO THROUGH THE INTERSECTION. *TR

MY VEHICLE ALL OF A SUDDEN STARTED TO SLOW DOWN SUDDENLY LIKE I HAD TAKEN MY FOOT OFF THE GAS. IT STARTED SHUDDERING AND MY TRANSMISSION LIGHT CAME ON. I THOUGHT IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION SO I HAD IT TOWED TO THE SHOP. AFTER DIAGNOSIS, IT SHOWED MY CYLINDERS WERE MISFIRING. IT WAS DUE TO A BAD COIL WHICH WAS CAUSING THE SPARK PLUGS TO READ AT AN EXTREMELY HIGH VOLTAGE. THEY NEEDED TO REPLACE ALL COILS AND ALL SPARK PLUGS. THEN FOUND OUT THAT IT FRIED MY PCM(COMPUTER) WHICH ALSO HAD TO BE REPLACED. COME TO FIND OUT, THIS IS A KNOW ISSUE WITH THE 2007 FORD EDGE AND THERE IS A TSB ON IT FOR THIS EXACT SITUATION. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT THE PCM HAD A MALFUNCTION WHICH CAUSED THE COILS/SPARK PLUGS TO GO BAD. THEY ALSO SAID THE PCM HAS A MANUFACTURER 8 YEAR/80,000 MILE WARRANTY....

PURCHASED A 2007 FORD EDGE ROUGHLY ABOUT A YEAR AGO, HAVE HAD NO PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE. IT WAS MY DREAM CAR SINCE I WAS 18, BEING 24 AND FINALLY HAVING ONE WAS A DREAM COME TRUE. I STARTED EXPERIENCING A WHINING NOISE UPON DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD ONE DAY. I PROCEEDED TO PULL OVER THINKING IT WAS A BELT. IT WASN'T SO I CONTINUED TO GO DOWN THE ROAD. BRINGING IT TO MY MECHANIC HE TOLD ME ITS THE TRANSFER CASE WITHIN THE CAR ITSELF. I TRIED CALLING FORD BECAUSE OF THIS COMMON DEFECT TO HAVE IT REPLACED. THEY WOULD NOT ASSIST IN THE REPLACEMENT OF THEIR MISTAKE. I NOW OWE $1500. *TR

I WAS GOING TO WORK.MY CAR THEN JERKED AND STOPPED. I ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED BECAUSE IT JUST LOST POWER. I WAS TOLD THE TRANSMISSION WAS BAD ..I WENT TO THE DEALER AND THEY WILL ONLY HELP IF I PAY 4500 DOLLARS, I DID NOT GET THE WARRANTY ,,I ONLY HAD THE CAR LESS THEN 2 MONTHS, NOW THE CAR HAS TO SIT AND I LOST MY JOB. I RED REVIEWS AND ALL REVIEWS SAID THEY HAD TRANSMISSION REPLACED.FYI I WAS NOT OFFERED A WARENTY. THIS CAR SHOULD HAVE A RECALL.I WILL HAVE TO GET A LAWYER AND SEE IF THIS MATTER CAN GET RESOLVED. *TR

I NOTICED WHEN I GET TO ABOUT 40 MILES PER HOUR MY CAR DOESN'T WANT TO SHIFT INTO NEXT GEAR. TOOK TO A FORD DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD IT WAS PTU VALVE. COST TO FIX IS 1350.00. *TR

PTU UNIT DEVELOPED A LEAK, WAS NEARLY EMPTY OF OIL BY THE TIME THE DEALER COULD REPAIR. DEALER SAYS PTU NEEDS TO BE REPLACED FOR ~$1600. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN EXTREMELY COMMON PROBLEM. THIS SHOULD BE REPAIRED UNDER RECALL. *TR

2007 FORD EDGE HAS BEEN SHIFTING GEARS HEAVY (ESPECIALLY LOW) AND GETTING WORSE. LAST WEEK IT SHOULD HAVE DOWN SHIFTED TO 2ND BUT INSTEAD UP SHIFTED TO LIKE 4 OR 5TH GEAR AND I LOST ANY REAL POWER TO GET UP THE HILL. THE NOISE ITSELF WAS A VERY NOTICEABLE BANG AND SHUDDER. THIS IS APPARENTLY HAPPENING TO OTHER BECAUSE THERE'S YOUTUBE VIDEOS OF THE EXACT SAME THING. *TR

I WAS TRAVELING ON 95 NORTH IN S. CAROLINA WHEN MY CAR JERKED AND EVERYONE LURCHED FORWARD IN THE VEHICLE AS IF WE HAD TRAVELED OVER A SPEED BUMP OR SOMETHING LARGE IN THE ROAD. IT WAS MID DAY AND NOTHING WAS IN THE ROAD. WE CONTINUED TRAVELING AND ABOUT 30 MILES IT HAPPENED AGAIN AND WE REALIZED IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION. WE WERE FORTUNATE TO MAKE IT HOME AND TOOK IT TO OUR MECHANIC. HE SAW NO VISUAL SIGNS OF TROUBLE SUCH AS LEAKAGE, WARNING LIGHTS OR CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS EVEN DURING THE TEST DRIVE SO HE DID AN INTERNET SEARCH AND FOUND THAT FORD SUGGEST RUNNING TRANSMISSION FLUID THROUGH, DRAINING AND REPEATING. HE DID THIS. WE HAD TO TRAVEL OUT OF STATE AGAIN THE NEXT MONTH AND THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED ON THE HIGHWAY. I'M SO CONCERNED FOR MY FAMILY AND I'M NOW READING ON THE INTERNET THAT...

WENT FROM REVERSE TO FORWARD, ACTED LIKE THERE WERE NO LOWER GEARS. WAS ABLE TO LIMP HOME ABOUT 1 MILE. PUT IT INTO REVERSE, LOUD BANG, SHOOK ENTIRE CAR, BACKED INTO CAR PORT, SHUTOFF CAR, THEN NO RESTART. MASSIVE AMOUNT OF OBD CODES, HAD MECHANIC REMOVE TRANSMISSION, TORQUE CONVERTER FAILURE AND THRUST BEARING DESTROYED, I FEEL VERY LUCKY THAT TRANSMISSION DIDN'T FAIL ON HIGHWAY CAUSING ME TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT ON MY WAY TO WORK AS A CHILDRENS SWIM INSTRUCTOR. *TR

DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS THE VEHICLE WILL SHIFT VERY HARD, FEELS LIKE SOMEONE REAR ENDING ME. THE TRANSMISSION FEELS LIKE IT HAS A HARD TIME GETTING INTO GEAR. AT HIGH SPEEDS THE SAME THING HAPPENS BUT USUALLY ON HOT DAYS. THE TRANSMISSION FINALLY GAVE OUT AT 75000 DUE TO THE HARD SLAMMING AND HAD TO BE REBUILT. I WAS LEAVING A DRIVEWAY AND WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE, PUTTING ME AT RISK OF BEING HIT FROM BEHIND. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN DISASTROUS AT HIGH SPEEDS. AT 78000 MILES I AM STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM, I TURN THE VEHICLE ON THE TRANSMISSION SLAMS INTO R AND THEN I CANNOT ACCELERATE PAST 10 MPH. I TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTART IT, AND IT SEEMS LIKE NOTHING EVERY HAPPENED. THIS HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS COME ONE ONLY EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE IT IS HAPPENING. WORRIED ABOUT ME AND...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT EXTREME PRESSURE HAD TO BE APPLIED TO THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IN ORDER FOR THE VEHICLE TO RESPOND. ADDITIONALLY, THE VEHICLE WOULD EXHIBIT AN ABNORMAL NOISE WHEN IN REVERSE OR CHANGING GEARS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 97000.

2007 FORD EDGE;MILEAGE 63153 LEAKED FLUID/BURNING RUBBER ODOR WAS EMITTED FROM UNDER THE HOOD AREA. SERVICE VEHICLE:FIND INTERNAL SEAL LEAKING IN PTU. NOT SERVICEABLE. NEED TO REPLACE PTU. *TR

WE NOTICED AN OIL LIKE SUBSTANCE LEAKING FROM UNDERNEATH THE FRONT END OF THE CAR. WE TOOK IT TO A FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD US IT WAS THE TRANSFER CASE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. NOT ONLY IS IT A $1500 REPAIR BUT IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM HAPPENING TO FORD EDGE'S YEARS 2007 - 2011. SOUNDS TO ME LIKE A RECALL SHOULD BE MADE ON THIS PART. WE CAUGHT OURS EARLY, SO NOT SURE WHAT COULD'VE HAPPENED IF WE CONTINUED TO DRIVE OURS AROUND. *TR

GAS TANK SEAL CORRODED. MECHANIC WAS INSPECTING CAR WHEN HE FOUND THAT BESIDES THE TRANSMISSION TRANSFER CASE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, THE GAS TANK WAS LEAKING GAS. IT APPEARS THE SEAL IS CORRODED. I WAS TOLD THAT THE NEW TANK WAS APPROXIMATELY 1500. (JUST THE PART) AND ABOUT 600. IN LABOR. I FEEL THAT THIS SHOULD BE REPAIRED FREE OF CHARGE BY FORD, THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN ON A VEHICLE THAT IS ONLY 6 YEARS OLD. I CAN ONLY PUT ABOUT 5 GALLONS OF GAS IN, NOT TO EXCEED JUST UNDER THE HALF TANK MARK. ALSO, CANNOT PARK CAR ON ANYTHING BUT A LEVEL SURFACE. *TR

AFTER 3 DIFFERENT SEAL REPAIRS AND PTU REPLACEMENT(20K) DURING WARRANTY PERIOD, CURRENT PTU IS WHINING / HOWLING BETWEEN 30-50 MPH. DEALER SAY FLUID HAS BEEN LEAKING SLOWLY AND PTU FULL OF SLUDGE. NO EVIDENCE OF LEAKAGE ON GARAGE FLOOR BUT UNDER CARRIAGE IN PTU AREA IS GUMMED UP FROM FLUID MIXING WITH DIRT. BASED ON MILEAGE FROM REPAIR RECEIPTS, TOOK APPROX. 67K MILES FOR THIS PTU TO GO BAD. NO ADJUSTMENT PROGRAMS AT THIS TIME FOR PTU'S AS PER PHONE CALL WITH FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHUTTERED AND THERE WAS A LOSS OF ACCELERATION POWER. THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR SHOP WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE 6 IGNITION COILS, SPARK PLUGS AND THE PCM SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 97395. *TR

LEAKED FLUID OVERHEATED TRANSFER CASE. NO WARNING OTHER THAN VERY SMALL DRIP. EXTENDED WARRANTY WILL NOT COVER DAMAGES. *TR

SINCE JANUARY 2010 TRANSMISSION SLIP ONLY HAPPENS PERIODICALLY ABOUT 8 TO 10 TIMES A YEAR ..SINCE 11/2012 TREMBLING/SHUDDER TO THE ENGINE WHEN VEHICLE ACCELERATES BETWEEN 45-50MPH (TORQUE CONVERTER) OR REPLACE TRANSMISSION RECOMMENDED BY SERVICE CENTER ON 10/16/2013. ON 1/31/2013 RECALL SERVICE COMPLETED ON MY VEHICLE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP (MIL) ON WITH DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM) WITH 1 OR MORE DAMAGED COIL(S) ON PLUGS. *TR

WHEN DRIVING THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT VIOLENTLY FROM 1ST INTO 2ND GEAR AND WHEN I'M DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND HAVE TO HIT THE BRAKES SUDDENLY THEN SPEED BACK UP THE VIOLENT SHIFTING HAPPENS AGAIN. THERE IS ALSO A SHUTTER IN THE TRANSMISSION WHILE DRIVING. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH UPHILL, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, WHO STATED THAT THEY COULD NOT DIAGNOSE TO THE VEHICLE DUE TO A FAULTY TRANS-AXLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 99843. UPDATED 11/12/13*CN

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE SHIFTER VIBRATED ABNORMALLY. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST, WHICH DETERMINED THAT THERE WAS A LEAKING TRANS-AXLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED BECAUSE THE PART NEEDED TO COMPLETE THE WORK WAS ON BACK ORDER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 99,847. UPDATED 11/13/13*LJ

WE STARTED UP OUR CAR ON A SUNDAY MORNING, PUT IT IN REVERSE, BACKED OUT OF OUR SPOT, AND THEN PUT THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE. RIGHT AWAY, WE NOTICED THE CAR SHAKING, NOT MUCH POWER, AND IT WAS SPUTTERING ALONG. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS FLASHING AS WELL, INDICATING ENGINE MISFIRE. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO A FORD DEALERSHIP. THE FORD DEALERSHIP RAN A DIAGNOSTIC AND DETERMINED THAT THE PCU HAD OVERHEATED AND THE CYLINDER COILS MELTED. THEY ALSO SAID THE PCU IS NO LONGER OPERABLE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, ALONG WITH THE COILS AND PLUGS. GENERALLY, ENGINE MISFIRE INDICATES A TUNE-UP IS NEEDED; HOWEVER, IN THIS CASE, THE CAR NEEDS A BRAND-NEW COMPUTER. THE DEALERSHIP QUOTED US AT 2,700 TOTAL FOR THE REPAIR. FURTHERMORE, THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE CAR, AS DETERMINED BY FORD, AS IT ISSUED TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN 13-4-7, CITING THIS MODEL AND SEVERAL...

AFTER DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MILES AT AN AVERAGE SPEED OF 45 MPH I EXITED OFF A VERY BUSY HIGHWAY (EXIT 1, RTE. 93N IN NEW HAMPSHIRE). UPON SLOWING, I FELT A SKIP AND THE CAR BECAME UNRESPONSIVE TO MY ATTEMPT TO ACCELERATE TO COMPLETE THE EXIT . AN ODOMETER ERROR APPEARED ON MY DASH ALONG WITH THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT AND THE REPAIR WRENCH SYMBOL. IF I HAD BEEN TRAVELING ON THE OPEN HIGHWAY IN THE KIND OF TRAFFIC I WAS EXPERIENCING, I PROBABLY WOULD HAVE BEEN IN A HIGH SPEED ACCIDENT. AFTER SHUTTING DOWN THE ENGINE FOR 30 MINUTES, I RESTARTED MY VEHICLE AND RETURNED HOME WITHOUT INCIDENT. THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. TO DATE MY EDGE HAS BEEN VERY RELIABLE. I HAVE ENJOYED THE EDGE'S PERFORMANCE; BUT, I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED TO NUMEROUS OTHER EDGE OWNERS. I AM HOPING THIS APPARENT DEFECT IS...

FIRST OCCURRENCE. TURNED VEHICLE ON, SHIFTED IN DRIVE TO LEAVE PARKING LOT. DID NOT SHIFT CORRECTLY, AND FELT AS IF IT WAS IN NEUTRAL. TURNED VEHICLE OFF, AND BACK ON. IT SHIFTED FINE. TOOK VEHICLE BACK TO DEALERSHIP, AS WE HAD ONLY OWNED IT S MONTH AND BOUGHT IN APRIL 2012. THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. OVER TIME, THIS HAS HAPPENED 10-15 MORE TIMES. THE COMPUTER ALSO SEEMS TO BE AFFECTED BY THIS AS WELL. TODAY 7/26/2013, I TURNED ON THE VEHICLE, LEFT IT START UP, BEGAN TO GO INTO DRIVE, IT STALLED, AND A POWERTRAIN LIGHT CAME ON. MILEAGE COMPUTER DASH DISAPPEARED. I TURNED THE CAR OFF. TURNED IT BACK ON. WHEN I TRIED TO SHIFT IT, TRANSMISSION WAS VERY VIOLENT. SAT IN THE PARKING LOT FOR TWENTY MINUTES. TURNED THE CAR BACK ON, LET IT RUN FOR 2MINUTES, PUT IT IN DRIVE, AND IT WAS COMPLETELY FINE....

2007 FORD EDGE. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO A DEFECTIVE PTU ASSEMBLY IN VEHICLE. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR SERVICE, FOR AN OIL LEAK AT THE PTU VENT, THE ENTIRE PTU ASSEMBLY SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPLACED. AT THE TIME OF SERVICE, THE VEHICLE HAD 54,708 MILES AND IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. ON MARCH 23, 2013, THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND A DIAGNOSIS REVEALED A DAMAGED PTU ASSEMBLY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 73 MPH THERE WAS A SLIGHT REDUCTION IN THE ENGINE POWER. THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO VIBRATE VIOLENTLY. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED AT THE TIME OF FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS MANEUVERED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD FOR INSPECTION. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS. THE IGNITION COIL ASSEMBLY, HLA ENGINE CONTROL MODULE AND PCM WERE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 84,334. ...UPDATED 07-24-13 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED AFTER THE REPAIRS WERE DONE, THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO EXHIBIT ERRATIC IRREGULAR SHIFTING, ALTHOUGH NOT TO THE EXTENT FOR WHICH HE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A RECURRING FAILURE WITH THE TRANSMISSION. THE TRANSMISSION HAD BEEN REPLACED THREE TIMES WITHIN A SHORT TIME FRAME. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC ALL EACH TIME. THE CONTACT WAS NOT AWARE OF WHAT CAUSED THE RECURRING FAILURE. THERE WERE NO RECALLS FOR THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 22,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 100,000. *TR

I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING VERY ODD UNEXPLAINABLE EVENTS WITH MY 2007 FORD EDGE SINCE FALL OF 2012 WHICH HAS NOW RESULTED IN FULL FAILURE OF MY TRANSMISSION. BEGINNING IN THE FALL, MY EDGE STARTED TO GIVE ME WARNING MESSAGES ON MY ELECTRONIC DASH PANEL READING "TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR FAULT", ONCE PUT IN REVERSE, THE CAR WOULD MAKE A VIOLENT JERKING MOTION AND LOUD UGLY SOUND. THE MESSAGE ON THE DASH WOULD THEN CHANGE TO READ "ODB DATA ERROR". THE WRENCH AND AIRBAG ICONS WOULD BE LIT. AFTER SHIFTING TO DRIVE, THE CAR SOUNDED AS IF IT WAS IN HIGH GEAR, BUT IT WOULD REFUSE TO ACCELERATE TO A FAST SPEED. ONCE DRIVING, THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD NOT REGISTER SPEED, IT WOULD SIT AT 0 MPH. THE DIGITAL ODOMETER FAILED TO DISPLAY ANYTHING. AS I DROVE, THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT OR IT WOULD SEEM TO TRY TO SHIFT AND THEN THE...

I HAD PULLED INTO MY DRIVEWAY, TURNED OFF MY CAR, GRABBED SOMETHING FROM MY HOUSE AND THEN TURNED MY CAR BACK ON. I PUT MY CAR INTO REVERSE AND THEN PUT IT IN DRIVE. MY CAR ACTED LIKE IT WAS IN NEUTRAL AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND THE ENGINE REVVED. I DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT UNTIL IT HAPPENED AGAIN ABOUT 3-4 WEEKS LATER AFTER I HAD JUST PUMPED GAS INTO MY CAR. I THEN TOOK IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE I PAID $100 FOR THEM TO TELL ME THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND DID NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION OR COMPUTER SYSTEM. THEY SAID 'MAYBE IT WAS A COMPUTER GLITCH'. SINCE THEN IT HAS HAPPENED 6 MORE TIME, ONE OF WHICH WAS ON A BUSY STREET WHICH ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. MY POWER TRAIN WARRANTY WILL END IN SEPTEMBER AND I NEED TO HAVE...

MY 2007 FORD EDGE HAD BEEN HAVING WHAT PEOPLE REFER TO AS A SLIPPED TRANSMISSION. AT FIRST IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE, AND IT WOULD ONLY GO IN REVERSE NOT FORWARD. I TURNED IT OFF AND ON TWICE AND THEN IT SEEMED TO OPERATE NORMALLY. I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY AND I WAS FIRST TOLD THERE WAS NO ISSUE, THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN, THIS TIME IT WOULD ALSO DO A VIOLENT JERK AS IF I'D BEEN REAR-ENDED. THE SERVICE DEPT REPLACED THE COMPUTER CHIP (NOT SURE WHICH ONE BUT SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE TRANSMISSION). A COUPLE OF WEEKS LATER IT AGAIN FAILED TO ACCELERATE BUT THIS TIME IT WOULD NOT RESTART WITHOUT A LOUD GRINDING NOISE. AFTER TOWING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, THE TRANSMISSION WAS COMPLETELY REPLACED. HOWEVER IT HAS SINCE STARTED DOING THE EXACT SAME THING, BUMPING AS IF THE CAR HAD BEEN REAR-ENDED AS...

FORD DEALER REPLACED PTU (POWER TAKE OFF UNIT) ON MY AWD FORD EDGE AFTER 3 OTHER INCIDENT OF LEAKING OIL. THIS PTU LEAKING PROBLEM HAS BEEN DOCUMENTED PREVIOUSLY 07-16-10 HTTP://WWW.FORDEDGEFORUM.COM/TOPIC/769-2007-FORD-EDGE-TECHNICAL-SERVICE-BULLETINS-TSB/. OTHER PREVIOUS OIL LEAKING PROBLEMS OCCURRED WHEN VEHICLE HAD 10,000, 15,000 AND 20,000 MILES. SAFETY CONCERN IS CAR CATCHING FIRE WHEN OIL LEAKING. DEALER CHARGE ME $500.00 EVEN THOUGH REPAIRS SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE DURING THE WARRANTY PERIOD. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT A BURNING PLASTIC ODOR WAS EMITTED FROM UNDER THE HOOD AREA. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE POWER TRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM) WAS CAUSING THE COILS THAT LEAD TO THE TRANSMISSION TO OVERHEAT AND CATCH ON FIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 115,000.

WHEN WE DROVE OUR EDGE AT ABOUT 40 MPH IT WOULD MAKE A GROWLING SOUND, JUST PUT ON NEW TIRES SO THOUGHT THEY WERE THE PROBLEM, DECIDED THAT WASN'T IT, LOOKED IN THE OWNERS MANUAL SAW THAT IT HAD A POWER TRANSFER UNIT THAT HELD FLUID CHECKED THAT, IT WAS EMPTY, FILLED IT, THE NOISE DIDN'T GO AWAY, IT GOT WORSE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE WE BOUGHT IT NEW. THEY CALLED SAID THE PTU WAS WORN OUT NEEDED REPLACED. SAID IT WILL COST OVER $1000. WHEN I FOUND THE PROBLEM I DID AN ONLINE SEARCH AND FOUND MANY REPORTS ON PTU FAILURES. IN YOUR DATA BASE I'VE FOUND A GREAT NUMBER ALSO. WHO DETERMINES WHAT IS BAD ENOUGH FOR A RECALL. *TR

THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME AND I COULD NOT ACCELERATE. I CALLED A DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS POSSIBLY A PROBLEM WITH TRANSMISSION AND THAT I SHOULD TURN THE CAR OFF AND TURN IT ON AGAIN WHICH I DID. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY REPLACED A SENSOR IT APPROXIMATELY, 1 YEAR AFTER THIS INCIDENCE, THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING AROUND 55-60 MPH. I STOPPED AT A LIGHT AND COULD NOT ACCELERATE. OTHER CARS WERE BEARING DOWN ON ME AS THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN. FINALLY GOT THE CAR TO MOVE AND DROVE IT HOME, BUT EVERY LIGHT I GOT TO IT WAS HARDER TO ACCELERATE. FINALLY REACHED HOME, AND PUT IT IN REVERSE, IT FELT LIKE I HAD BEEN REAR ENDED BY A TRUCK. SO NEEDLESS TO SAY, FORD ONLY AUTHORIZED THE DEALER TO REPLACE THE SAME SENSOR. I WILL...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25-30 MPH, SHE WOULD HEAR A LOUD NOISE AS THE VEHICLE WOULD BECOME HESITANT WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS. THE DEALER ADVISED THAT THE POWER TRANSFER UNIT FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED FOR THE POWER TRANSFER UNIT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 62,300. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

WHILE DRIVING AT 55 SLOWED TO 35 FELT HARD SHIFT IN TRANSMISSION, DROVE FOR SEVERAL MILES, PULLED INTO DRIVEWAY, STOPPED PUT EDGE INTO REVERSE AND BACK TO DRIVE, WRENCH LIGHT LIT UP.

IF I ACCELERATE MORE THAN 15 MPH THE CAR WOULD WHAT I CALL "SLAM" INTO THE NEXT GEAR. WHEN I AM ACCELERATING ONTO THE HIGHWAY OR ACCELERATE AND THEN BACK OFF THE GAS AND GO AGAIN OR IF I ACCELERATE INTO THE PASSING LANE THE CAR DOESN'T DRIVE. I HAVE HAD THE CAR TO BETHLEHEM FORD, KELLY FORD IN EMMAUS AND GILBOY FORD IN WHITEHALL FOR THE PROBLEM TWO TIMES AT EACH LOCATION. NO ONE CAN FIND OUT WHAT IS WRONG. CONTACTED FORD DIRECTLY AND THEY SAY TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR, I TOLD THEM I DID NUMEROUS TIMES AND THEY TOLD ME THIS."THE CAR LEARNS HOW YOU DRIVE, SO WHEN YOU DRIVE OUT OF CHARACTER THE CAR BASICALLY REACTS BY TELLING YOU NOW WAIT A MINUTE I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING AND THE CAR REACTS IN A CONFUSED MANNER". THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT BECAUSE I'M...

WHEN I ACCELERATE FROM A STOP MY TRANSMISSIONS VIOLENT SHIFTS BETWEEN 1ST TO 2ND AND SOMETIMES FROM 2ND TO 3RD. IT DOES NOT DO THIS ALL THE TIME ONLY 2 OR 3 TIMES PER WEEK FOR AS LONG AS I AM DRIVING IT. I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO LUMBERTON FORD CONCERNING THIS AND THEY STATED IT DID NOT THROW ANY CODES. TECH COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM (DUH) SO HEY ADVISED ME TO BRING IT BACK WHEN IT WAS ACTIVELY DOING IT. MOST OF THE TIMES ITS AFTER HOURS OR WHILE I AM IN ROUTE IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION OR GOING SOMEWHERE. MOST PEOPLE JUST DON'T CRUISE AROUND DURING THE WEEK. I TOOK MY TRUCK INTO TODAY WHEN I FOUND FORD TSB 7 5 2 AND PROVIDED IT TO THE DEALERSHIP BUT THEY SWEAR THAT IS NOT THE PROBLEM. FIRST WHEN I SPOKE TO THE GUY COUPLE DAYS AGO...

I TOOK MY FORD EDGE IN FOR THE FIRST TIME IN JANUARY 2012 WITH THESE ISSUES: WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE IT WOULD SHIFT EXTREMELY HARD, IT FELT AS IF MY CAR HAD BEEN REAR ENDED, NUMEROUS TIMES THE WRENCH LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND THE VEHICLE WOULD BECOME SLUGGISH, WHEN I PRESSED ON THE GAS THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE FORWARD. THERE WAS ALSO A HIGH PITCHED WHINE WHEN THE CAR WAS IN REVERSE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM, AFTER RESEARCHING MYSELF ON THE INTERNET I TOLD THEM ABOUT THE MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS I READ ON THE EDGE TRANSMISSION AND TO CHECK THE TURBINE SHAFT SPEED SENSOR. THEY THEN REPLACED IT AT NO CHARGE BECAUSE I WAS STILL UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY. FOR 8 MONTHS I WENT WITHOUT INCIDENT UNTIL SEPTEMBER 2012, SAME PROBLEM ONLY WORSE, I MANAGED TO...

THE PTU (POWER TAKE OFF UNIT) ON MY AWD FORD EDGE IS LEAKING AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED- PER THE DEALERSHIP- IT SMELLS AND THE TRANSMISSION CLUNKS/ MAKES NOISE. THESE ARE ALL KNOWN ISSUES TO FORD AND THEY REFUSE TO FIX THE ISSUES. THE FOAM SEAL BETWEEN MY WINDSHIELD AND DASH BOARD IS COMING OUT OF THE GAP AND CAUSING VISIBILITY ISSUES AS IT IS DISTRACTING- ANOTHER FORD KNOWN ISSUE WITH MULTIPLE TSB'S AND THEY REFUSE TO HELP WITHOUT ME PAYING OUT OF POCKET FOR THEIR ISSUES. *TR
