2007 FORD EDGE Power Train Problems

MY 2007 FORD EDGE, BEGAN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION NOVEMBER 2011. WHILE DRIVING, PULLING ONTO VERY BUSY HIGHWAY, EDGE SLIPPED INTO NEUTRAL. NUMEROUS VEHICLES HAD TO SUDDENLY STOP TO PREVENT FROM CRASHING INTO ME. NEEDLESS TO SAY I WAS EXTREMELY UPSET, BUT ALSO VERY THANKFUL NO ONE WAS INJURED. NOW THE PROBLEM BEGINS. NOTIFIED CHAPMAN FORD ABOUT THIS PROBLEM WAS TOLD TO BRING IN EDGE. EXPLAINED TO SERVICE EDGE SLIPPED INTO NEUTRAL, ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON ALONG WITH WRENCH LIGHT. AFTER PULLING OFF TO SIDE OF ROAD STILL COULD NOT GET CAR TO MOVE. I THEN TURNED CAR OFF FOR A MINUTE OR SO, STARTED UP THE CAR AND IT WAS FINE. AFTER A FEW DAYS I RECEIVED A CALL TELLING ME IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY AND WOULD COST 674.00 DOLLARS SINCE THIS WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. SO, THROTTLE BODY WAS REPLACED. NOW MY EDGE BEGAN HAVING...

WHEN STARTING TO PULL INTO TRAFFIC VEHICLE TRANSMISSION ENGAGES HARD AND SLIPS BETWEEN 1ST 2ND & 3RD. VEHICLE DOES NOT DO THIS CONTINUOUSLY. DROPPED IT OFF @ DEALERSHIP ON 08/20/2012 AND THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND STATED THAT COMPUTER DID NOT SHOW A CODE. DEALERSHIP ADVISED THAT I BRING IT BACK WHEN TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING OR ENGAGING HARD. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT IT FELT AS IF SHE WAS DRIVING IN NEUTRAL. WHILE SHIFTING GEARS, SHE HEARD A LOUD NOISE COMING FOR UNDER THE HOOD. IN ADDITION, ALL OF THE WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE HOME AND ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED, THE VEHICLE RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE DEALER ADVISED THAT THEY COULD NOT DIAGNOSE A FAILURE WITH THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 36,000.

APPROXIMATELY 6 WEEKS AGO I FOUND OUT THAT I HAD A BIG PROBLEM WITH MY CAR. I WAS TOLD I WAS NOT TO DRIVE IT BECAUSE IF THE PTO UNIT WENT OUT MY REAR WHEELS WOULD NOT FUNCTION BECAUSE IT IS ALL WHEEL DRIVE AND IT WOULD BE DANGEROUS TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. WELL FORD MOTOR COMPANY WAS TO SHIP PARTS OUT IN 2 WEEKS, WELL THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN. THEN AGAIN I WAS TOLD THE PARTS WOULD BE HERE LAST WEEK AND THEY TOOK ME OFF BACK ORDER AND SAID MY PARTS WOULD BE HERE BY MONDAY JUNE 4TH. WELL GUESS WHAT MY PART DIDN'T MAKE IT. THE LIST OF BACK ORDERS ACCORDING TO [XXX] AT FORD MOTOR COMPANY IS 1700 AS OF YESTERDAY. SO HOW MANY ORDERS HAVE THEY ALREADY FILLED? THEY ONLY USED THIS TRANSMISSION IN 2 VEHICLES FOR EITHER 1 OR 2 YEARS. I KNOW THAT SOME...

THE VEHICLE STARTED PERFORMING BADLY AND HAVING TROUBLE SHIFTING, WHICH AFFECTED ACCELERATION AND DECERATION IN TRAFFIC. DROVE VEHICLE DIRECTLY TO FORD DEALER FOR SERVICE. THEY STATED THE VEHICLE NEEDED TO HAVE THE PTU SEAL REPLACED. I WAS ORIGINALLY TOLD THIS ITEM WAS BACKORDERED 2 WEEKS, BUT THEY CAN NO LONGER GIVE ME AN ESTIMATED DATE. THEY STATED IT COULD BE 2 DAYS, 2 WEEKS, OR 2 MONTHS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT NOTICED BLACK SPOTS ON THE GROUND UNDER THE VEHICLE DUE TO FLUID LEAKING FROM AN UNKNOWN SOURCE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE TRANSFER CASE WAS FRACTURED FROM OVERHEATING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND ADVISED THAT THE REPLACEMENT FOR THE TRANSFER CASE WAS NOT AVAILABLE BECAUSE THE PART WAS ON A NATIONAL BACKORDER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 62,000.

THERE ARE THREE MAIN ISSUES WITH MY 2007 FORD EDGE. FIRST THE BRAKES MAKE NOISES AND SOMETIMES WORK AND SOMETIMES DON'T. THE TIRES KEPT GOING FLAT. I HAVE REPLACED ALL 4 FOUR TIRES AND ONE FRONT AND ONE BACK TIRE TWICE NOW. THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS FREQUENTLY. *TR

OK, ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. I HAVE A 2007 FORD EDGE AND IT IS HAVING HARD ENGAGEMENT ISSUES WHEN SHIFTING GEARS. ALSO, A COUPLE OF TIMES I HAVE BEEN READY TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND IT'S AS IF MY CAR IS SITTING IN NEUTRAL. I HAVE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK, TURN IT OFF, START AND PUT BACK INTO DRIVE FOR IT TO START GOING AGAIN. VERY UNSAFE AND WORRIES ME DRIVING MY KIDS AROUND IN THE CAR WITH THESE PROBLEMS. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP ON A COUPLE OF OCCASIONS WITH THESE PROBLEMS AND WAS TOLD THAT THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST WAS NOT "THROWING A CODE" SO BASICALLY THERE IS NOT A FIX. THEY DO HOWEVER ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF THESE COMPLAINTS AND A DEFINITE ISSUE BUT THEY COULD DO NOTHING UNLESS A RECALL WAS DONE. IT'S GETTING WORSE AND THE OTHER DAY...

OWN A 2007 EDGE SE , PURCHASED NEW ON AUGUST 2008. LAST YEAR I TOOK THE CAR TO DEALER FOR TRANSMISSION ISSUE AND THEY RECOMMEND TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AS A REGULAR MAINTENANCE, BUT JUST RECENTLY NOTICED THAT THE 4TH GEAR HAVE STRONG ENGAGE ISSUE."SHEEHY FORD" DEALERSHIP IN SPRINGFIELD VA IS NOT DOING ANYTHING TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. NOW MY WARRANTY EXPIRED AND THE DEALER WANTS TO CHARGE ME $150-200 TO DIAGNOSTIC THE PROBLEM. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 FORD EDGE. I HAVE HAD BRAKE PROBLEMS EVER SINCE I BOUGHT IT. BY BRAKE PROBLEMS, I MEAN THEY SOMETIMES GRIND AND SOMETIMES FEEL LIKE I CAN'T STOP AS WELL AS I SHOULD BE ABLE TO. I HAD THEM CHECKED SEVERAL TIMES AND WAS TOLD THEY WERE FINE. I FINALLY HAD THEM REPLACED BUT THEY STILL GRIND AT TIMES. I'VE LEARNED TO DEAL WITH THIS PROBLEM. I'VE ALSO EXPERIENCED A LOUD ROARING NOISE. I'M NOT SURE WHAT THIS IS BUT I'VE ALSO LEARNED TO DEAL WITH IT AS WELL. EVERYTIME SOMEONE RIDES WITH ME THEY ASK WHAT THE NOISE IS AND TELL ME IT SOUNDS LIKE MY CAR HAS NOT SHIFTED INTO THE RIGHT GEAR. THE MAJOR PROBLEM I HAVE DEALT WITH IS THE JERKING TRANSMISSION. IT STARTED THIS ABOUT A YEAR AFTER BUYING IT. IT STARTED DOING IT A FEW TIMES HERE AND THERE UNTIL IT...

THE SPEEDOMETER WENT TO ZERO AND ALL THE MILEAGE INFORMATION WENT BLANK. THE FRONT AIRBAG LIGHT, SERVICE WRENCH AND SHORTLY THERE AFTER THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR LIGHT CAME ON. I EXITED THE FREEWAY AND AFTER STOPPING FOR THE TRAFFIC LIGHT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE, BUT MOVED SLOWLY APPARENTLY STUCK IN THE HIGH GEARS. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT UP OR DOWN. THE NEXT STOP LIGHT THE SAME PROBLEM. I PARKED IN A PARKING LOT AND RECYCLED THE IGNITION AND THE MILEAGE INFORMATION RETURNED. HOWEVER WHEN I PUT THE VEHICLE INTO REVERSE THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO CLUNK VIOLENTLY! I THEN SWITCHED TO DRIVE AND AGAIN IT CLUNKED VIOLENTLY! I RECYCLED THE IGNITION AGAIN AND PUT IT INTO REVERSE AGAIN CLUNKING VIOLENTLY. I AGAIN RECYCLED THE IGNITION AND PUT INTO REVERSE THE VEHICLE TRANS CLUNKED MOVING BACKWARDS. I THEN PULLED FORWARD SHIFTING TO DRIVE AGAIN WITH A CLUNK THE VEHICLE MOVED...

PTU SEALS LEAKING A TOTAL OF SEVEN DIFFERENT TIMES. *TR

PTU SEAL HAS BEEN REPLACED 7 TIMES, AXLE SHAFT ONCE, PTU ASSEMBLY 3 TIMES THEY THINK THEY GOT IT FIXED THIS TIME, HAS NOT LEAKED IN 100 MILES. *TR

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.

MY 2007 FORD EDGE ALL WHEEL DRIVE HAS A LEAKING PROBLEM FROM THE TRANSFER CASE. IT HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM SINCE THE DAY IT WAS NEW. SEVERAL VISITS TO THE DEALER I WAS TOLD IT IS NOT LEAKING ALTHOUGH THERE WAS ALWAYS OIL ON MY DRIVE. I OWN AN AUTO REPAIR SHOP SO I HAD IT IN THE SHOP AND KNEW WITHOUT A DOUBT IT WAS LEAKING. WHAT MAKES IT DANGEROUS IS THE LEAK DRIPS DIRECTLY ON THE EXHAUST PIPE WHICH IS RIGHT BELOW THE TRANSFER CASE. YOU CAN SMELL BURNING OIL AND IT SMOKES A LOT OF TIMES WHEN STOPPING AT STOP SIGNS. THE DEALER HAS WENT AS FAR AS REPLACING THE TRANSFER CASE. THAT FIXED THE PROBLEM FOR A FEW MONTHS BUT THE LEAK ALWAYS COMES BACK. I HAVE RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM AND ON FORDEDGEFORUM.COM HAVE FOUND MANY OWNERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I AM AFRAID FORD IS...
