2008 FORD EDGE Electrical System Problems

The locked door emblem sporadically comes on and stays on. It makes my interior lights stay on. It runs my battery down. The back passenger side door was opened by a rider and the lock all doors button had been engaged. The red light was on to show doors were not locked. This has been an ongoing issue for several months now. I have an appointment at Ford garage 09/13/22.

Problem with the computer for dash. Was worked on at Ford dealership in Lexington ky and had to borrow money with the lender that was already financing the vehicle for me for repairs. They was unable to repair it but still charged me almost 1,800.00.

The rear taillight socket melted due to excessive heat. This has happened twice to the same vehicle. Once in 05/2019. At the time, a dealer service center recommended replacing the junction box, a $700 repair. The same issue has occurred again.

WHILE DRIVING CAR MAKES SEVERE ROARING/ HUMMING NOISE. ALSO WHILE DRIVING MAKING TURNS OR NOT MAKING TURNS THE CAR JERKS UNCONTROLLABLY. MY DOOR SENSOR WILL NOT RECOGNIZE WHETHER OR NOT MY FRONT DRIVER DOOR IS CLOSED, SO WHILE I'M DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD IT SAYS MY DRIVER DOOR IS OPEN. THERE IS A RECALL THAT I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED ABOUT ON THE SUSPENSION; FRONT HUB,. I'VE CONTACTED MY LOCAL PRATER FORD & FORD MOTOR COMPANY WITH NO HELP. I HAVE THE WORK ORDER # FROM PRATER FORD WHERE WE TRIED TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM, IT IS WORK ORDER # 80025 ON MARCH 12, 2018. THEIR NUMBER IS 706-629-2883 ASK TO SPEAK TO ASHLEY P.; SERVICE PROVIDER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CEASED TO OPERATE, THE HEADLAMPS FAILED TO REMAIN ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY DECELERATED WITH THE AIR BAGS WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER FOR SEVERAL MINUTES BEFORE DRIVING TO AN AUTO ZONE STORE TO HAVE THE VEHICLE DIAGNOSED. THERE WAS NO DTC CODES RETRIEVED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED OR NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 98,000. *TR

THE MECHANIC SAID THE TRANSMISSION AND TRANSFER CASE EXPLODED COSTING ME OVER $2,000 IN REPAIRS. THE AC QUIT COSTING AROUND $700 IN REPAIRS. THE CD/RADIO HAS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE THAT HAS NOT BEEN FIXED BECAUSE I CAN'T AFFORD IT ESTIMATED AT ANOTHER$700 IN REPAIRS. *TR

WHEN WERE DRIVING THE CAR IT LOSES POWER(THE TRACTION CONTROL JUST COMES ON FOR NO REASON) , WHEN WE GO ABOVE 70 OUR ABS LIGHT COMES ON, OUR BRAKES RANDOMLY JUST START GRINDING THEN THEY WILL STOP, WE HAVE REPLACED THE BREAKS LAST MONTH.

I HAD THE LIFT GATE OPEN LOADING GROCERIES AND IT ALL OF A SUDDEN RELEASED AND CAME DOWN AND STRIKING MY HEAD AND NECK AND I QUICKLY PUSHED IT BACK UP AND IT JUST DROPPED DOWN AGAIN BEFORE I COULD GET MYSELF CLEAR STRIKING ME AGAIN, IT GOT MY NECK AND SHOULDER. I TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP AND WAS FIRST WAS TOLD IT WAS A PROBLEM FOR THE BODY SHOP, BUT THEY QUICKLY DETERMINED IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. THE LIFT GATE IS VERY HEAVY AND I DO HAVE TO SEE A DOCTOR FOR THE PERSISTENT PAIN IN THE NECK AND SHOULDER. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY IN THE PARKING LOT OF THE GROCERY STORE.THERE WASN'T A VEHICLE ACCIDENT BUT I DID RECEIVE AN INJURY TO MY NECK AND SHOULDER, EXTENT TO BE DETERMINED.*DT CONSUMER STATED WHEN DRIVING VEHICLE STARTS TO SHAKE. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, PCM MELTED TWO...

BATTERY LIGHT STAYED ON DURING A 4.5 HOUR TRIP. AFTER REACHING THE END OF THE TRIP, THE BATTERY CABLES WERE FOUND TO BE CORRODED. NOTICED THETERMINAL PROTECTOR HAS MELTED. USED DISTILLED WATER TO FILL THE ACID LEVEL IN THE BATTERY, SOME WAS SPILLED ON THE POSITIVE BATTERY CABLE CONNECTION(FROM BATTERY TO POWER OF UNDERHOOD FUSE BOX), IT SIZZLED FROM BEING HOT! AFTER FILLING THE BATTERY, THE BATT. LIGHT STAYED OFF FOR ANOTHER 3 HOURS OF TRIP, AND LIT UP AGAIN. HAD THE BATTERY TESTED, BATTERY WAS FOUND TO BE DEFECTIVE. R&R THE BATTERY, BATTERY LIGHT IS ON AGAIN. NO DRIVEABILITY ISSUES, JUST CONCERNED ABOUT, WHAT IS CAUSING RESISTANCE IN ELECTRICAL CHARGING SYSTEM, AND POSSIBLE "FIRE"!

2008 FORD EDGE SEL....WITH 6F50 TRANSMISSION....165000 MILES.... VEHICLE SHIFTS EXTERNALLY HARD FROM 3RD TO 4TH GEAR WITH A HARD JERK AND LOAD KLUNK, SO MUCH SO THAT IT HAS STARTED CAUSING ME NECK PROBLEMS FROM TENSING UP IN ANTICIPATION OF THE JERK. ALSO 2 TWICE UP GOING FROM PARK TO DRIVE, HAD AN EXTREMLY LOAD NOISE IN TRANSMISSION THAT SHOOK THE ENTIRE VEHICLE AND AS I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE THE RPM ROSE BUT THE CAR BARELY EASED FORWARD AND THE TRANSMISSION SOUNDED AS THOUGH IT WERE IN A BIND. I THEN PUT IT IN PARK, TURNED THE IGNITION OFF, PULLED OUT THE KEY, OPEN AND SHUT THE DOOR AS TO PRETEND I WAS EXITING, THEN PUT KEY BACK INTO IGNITION, STARTED THE CAR, PUT IT IN GEAR (NO PROBLEM) AND ACCELERATED AS NORMAL (NO PROBLEM), EXCEPT WHEN IT SHIFTED FROM 3RD TO 4TH WHICH IS AROUND 25MPH. I HAVE NOT...

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE TRUCK LOST ALL POWER. THE ONLY CHOICE I HAD WAS TO STEER THE WHEEL TO A SAFE POSITION ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. WHEN THE HAPPENED THE DOORS WERE LOCKED WINDOWS WERE CLOSED SHUT I WAS ALMOST UNABLE TO GET OF THE TRUCK SAFELY. ALSO I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AFTER GET A NEW SET OF TIRES AND THE TRUCK BEGAN TO MAKE A SCRUBBING SOUND AS IF THE WHEELS WAS GRINDING AGAINST SOMETHING NOTHING WAS THERE. I REMEMBER A RECALL ON THE WHEEL HUB AND I HAVE HAD THE TRUCK FOR ABOUT 2 YEARS AND I DON'T RECALL GETTING THE PROBLEM REPAIRED BUT MY VIN RETURNS BACK NO ACTIVE RECALLS AND I CAN NOT HELP BUT WONDER IF THERE IS AN ERROR.

I BOUGHT A USED 2008 FORD EDGE, TAIL LIGHT BULB WAS BURNT OUT SOON AFTER I BOUGHT IT. WENT TO CHANGE THE BULB AND DISCOVERED THE SOCKET WAS BURNT UP AND MELTED. CHECKED THE OTHER SIDE AND HAD THE SAME ISSUE! THIS COULD DEFINITELY BE A FIRE HAZARD! GOOGLED THE PROBLEM AND FOUND EVERYONE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE!

I RECENTLY BOUGHT USED 2008 FORD EDGE. MY TAIL LIGHT WENT OUT AND WHEN I WENT TO CHANGE THE BULB, I DISCOVERED THE BULB AND THE WHOLE SOCKET TO BE BURNT AND MELTED. I TOOK TO GOOGLE AND FOUND EVERYONE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE!! THIS COULD DEFINITELY BE A FIRE HAZARD, IT HAS ME WORRIED WITH 2 KIDS IN MY CAR!!

VEHICLE INITIALLY WOULD NOT ACCELERATE BEYOND 10 MPH THEN COMPLETELY LOST POWER IN THE MIDDLE OF RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. LOCAL REPAIR CENTER REPORTED ISSUES WITH PCM AND WAS UNABLE TO FIX IT. SENT IT TO A FORD DEALER WHO CONFIRMED ISSUES WITH PCM THAT DAMAGED THE BODY THROTTLE, 3 ENGINE COILS, AND OTHER PARTS. HAD TO REPLACE PCM AND PARTS DAMAGED BY IT RESULTING IN A $2894.10 REPAIR BILL. THE FOLLOWING DAY AFTER REPAIR, WAS AGAIN IN THE MIDDLE OF RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC AND THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY LOSS POWER AGAIN. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN AND BASED ON RESEARCH, A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME THING. FORD NEED TO RECALL THIS ISSUE. I'M SO THANKFUL MY CHILD WAS NOT IN THE VEHICLE DURING THESE EVENTS.

I OWN A 2008 FORD EDGE LIMITED I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AS SOME PEOPLE ON HERE ARE WITH THE WRENCH 🔧 LIGHT ALSO A AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON AND I HAVE ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE THE CAR SPEEDOMETER STOPS WORKING AND THE CAR SHIFTS SUPER HARD IT SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY I DID MY RESEARCH ON FORDS WEBSITE FOR FINDING OUT THE PROBLEM AND IT'S A GLITCH THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN WHEN TRYING TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT FROM OCCURRING ALSO YOU CAN'T EVEN VIEW THE SPEED I THINK THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AND RECALLED BECAUSE I IT CAN CREATE A UNSAFE ENVIRONMENT TO NOT ONLY MY VEHICLE BUT OTHERS AS WELL.

BOTH THE REAR TAIL/STOP LIGHT BULB SOCKETS MELT FROM EXTREME BULB HEAT. THIS ISSUE IS POSTED BY OTHERS ALL OVER THE INTERNET. THIS IS A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD THAT SERIOUSLY NEEDS ADDRESSING BY FORD. IN THE PAST I REPLACED THE RIGHT REAR BULB WHICH IS WHEN I DISCOVERED THE ISSUE. YESTERDAY I HAD TO REPLACE THE LEFT REAR BULB AND DISCOVERD THAT SOCKET TOO IS MELTED ALONG WITH THE BASE OF THE BULB ITSELF.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, THE ODOMETER SUDDENLY DROPS TO ZERO WHILE STILL MOVING AT THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT. THE WRENCH SYMBOL WARNING LIGHT IN THE DASH COMES ON, AS WELL AS THE AIRBAG LIGHT. THE MILEAGE IS THEN CLEARED, AND THE DASH READS "ODO ERROR". PULLED OVER, TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE AND REMOVED THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION. GO TO TURN THE VEHICLE BACK ON, CAR STARTS NORMALLY, ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS ARE CLEARED. PUT THE VEHICLE INTO REVERSE, AND HEAR AND FEEL A LOUD "CLUNK" AS THE VEHICLE SHIFTS, AND AM ABLE TO BACK UP NORMALLY. WHEN SHIFTING BACK INTO DRIVE, THE RPMS JUMP UP, THE CAR SHIFTS AND MAKES THE LOUD "CLUNK", AND WHEN PUSHING THE ACCELERATOR, THE VEHICLE BARELY MOVES. IT WILL OCCASIONALLY COME BACK AND THE VEHICLE WILL RETURN TO IT'S NORMAL RUNNING STATE, BUT THEN IT WILL EVENTUALLY RETURNED TO THE DEFECTIVE STATE. NO...

DASH BOARD LIGHTS COMPLETELY OUT. WHEN CAR IS IN DRIVE RPM NOT APPEARING ALSO GAUGES NOT WORKING. COMPASS DATA ERROR APPEARS UP WITH RED BATTERY SYMBOL

THE SUNROOF STAYS OPEN AND CANNOT CLOSE UNLESS THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED AND MANUALLY FORCED CLOSE. THE SUNROOF MECHANISM TO CLOSE TO GLASS BREAKS EASILY. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE PANORAMIC SUNROOF, BUT IS EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE TO FIX. THE DEALERSHIP IS WANTING TO CHARGE BETWEEN $1900 - $2500 TO FIX AND TWO PLASTIC CLIPS THAT CLOSE THE SUNROOF, BECAUSE THEY ARE INDICATED THEY HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE TRACK SYSTEM, AS THE SPECIFIC SMALL PART THAT NEEDS REPLACING IS NOT AVAILABLE.

RIGHT REAR TAIL LAMP IS BURNT AND TURN SIGNAL NO LONGER WORKS. I'VE NOTED MANY INSTANCES OF THIS OCCURRING ON LINE. THERE SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL AS THIS HAS A FIRE POTENTIAL.

RIGHT WHEEL WELL VIBRATES WHEN I TURN AND DRIVE OVER50 MILES HOUR TRANSMISSION JERKS LIKE ITS NOT ENGAGING TO NEXT GEAR FROM A STOP OR WHEN DRIVING UNDER MPH BACK LEFT BRAKE LIGHT BURNS OUT EVERY OTHER DAY . BRAKES ARE SQEELING AND SOUND LIKE METAL SCRAPING BUT NO INDICATOR HAS COME ON FOR THE ABS TO TO BE REPLACE MUST MODULE NOT WORKING CORRECTLY CAUSE MOT CODING ANYTHING WITH TRANNY JERKING EITHER FORD EDGE IS PEICE OF (XXXX) I NEVER BY AMERICAN AGAIN

MY TURN SIGNAL BULB SOCKET FRIES REPEATEDLY. THIS WILL BE THE FOURTH TIME IN 2 YEARS REPLACING IT. IT BURNS UP THE SOCKET AND MELTS THE BOTTOM OF THE LIGHT BULB. I GOT THE PARTS FROM FORD DEALERSHIP ALSO BUT I HAVE READ ONLINE ANY PEOPLE HAVING ISSUES WITH IT. IT JUST GOES OUT ALL OF A SUDDEN.

NOTICED THE R/H BRAKE LIGHT WAS OUT. WENT TO CHANGE THE BULB AND FOUND THE SOCKET IS BURNED AND CHARD. I REMOVED THE L/H SIGNAL LIGHT AND FOUND THE EXACT SAME SITUATION. THIS IS A SERIOUS FIRE HAZARD AND A QUICK ON-LINE SEARCH FOUND MULTIPLE SIMILAR SITUATIONS. A COWORKER OF MINE WITH EXACT SAME VEHICLE HAD THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPEN.

REAR TURN SIGNAL BULB METING

HEATER ON DRIVER SIDEBAR BLOWS EXTREMELY COLD. LUKE WARM ON PASSENGER SIDE. MULTIPLE REPORTS OF THIS.

WHEN THEYING TO ACCEPT ON A CITY STREET THE CAR WOULD NOT GO. ODO ERROR CAME UP. SPEEDOMETER WOULDN'T MOVE AT ALL. CAR WAS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED. WRENCH LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. CAR MOVES A LITTLE BIT BUT DID NOT RUN NORMAL AND CLUNKED HARD WHEN PUT IN PARK. MECHANIC SAYS IT'S A SENSOR ISSUE THAT'S COMMON IN THIS CAR.

MADE A TURN OFF INTERSTATE INTO A BUSY ROAD, MY VEHICLE JERKED AND LOST ITS ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. LEAVING ME IN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WITH CARS FLYING AROUND ME TO AVOID HITTING ME. I MANAGED TO MAKE IT INTO A PARKING LOT. I HAD A FRIEND CHECK THE VEHICLE AND WITH THE HOOD UP HE HAD ME PUT IN REVERSE AND IT LOOKED LIKE THE MOTOR WAS GOING TO JUMP OUT OF THE VEHICLE, SAME HAPPENED IN DRIVE. HE PUT HIS COMPUTER ON AND A CODE FOR THE DRIVE SPEED SENSOR WAS PRESENT. THE CODE WAS CLEARED AND THEN NOTICED THE SPEED AND RPM GAUGES WERE INACCURATE. THIS HAPPENS ON OCCASION. UPON RESEARCH I SEE THIS SENSOR HAS A RECALL ON IT BUT NOT FOR MY YEAR 08 EDGE. PLEASE RECALL ASAP. THIS CAN CAUSE SOME SERIOUSLY BAD ACCIDENT WHEN YOUR VEHICLE LOOSES ITS ABILITY TO ACCELERATE WHEN IN...

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 138,178.

UPON REPLACING ORIGINAL FACTORY BRAKE/TURN SIGNAL BULBS I FOUND BOTH THE BULBS AND THE SOCKETS ON BOTH SIDES TO BE BLACKENED AND MELTED; MY FEAR IS ELECTRICAL FIRE.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V384000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER THE PART FOR THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. ALSO, WHILE DRIVING, THE PANORAMIC ROOF CRACKED WITHOUT WARNING.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 134,000. UPDATED 06/08/17*LJ UPDATED 08/15/2017*JS

VEHICLE CONTINOUSLY FRIES TURN SIGNAL LAMPS. I'VE REPLACED 12 OF THEM SINCE WE BOUGHT IT 4 YEARS AGO. EVERY 4-6 MONTHS IT ACTUALLY MELTS THE BULB HOUSING AND I HAVE TO PRY IT OUT. IF THE VEHICLE CATCHES FIRE I PLAN TO SUE FORD. NO PATTERN TO WHEN THEY BURN IT. COMPLETELY RANDOM BUT I'VE SAVED PHOTOS OF EACH ONE.

LEFT REAR TAIL LIGHT BURNED OUT CHECK BULB COME TO FIND OUT THE SOCKET IS BURNED BROWN AND THE SOCKET VERY CRISP FALLING APART DUE TO OVER HEATED SOCKET THIS SHOULD BE REPLACED BY FORD. THIS MAY CAUSE A FIRE HAZARD, TAKE YOUR VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND HAVE THIS CHECKED BEFORE YOU HAVE A FIRE!!! I FOUND THIS WHEN I CHECKED TO SEE IF THE TURN SIGNAL/BRAKE LIGHT WERE WORKING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT VARIOUS WARNING INDICATORS RANDOMLY FLASHED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL/CLUSTER. WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS APPLIED, THE RPMS RACED, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS SLOW TO GAIN SPEED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED NO RECOMMENDED SOLUTION. THE VIN AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE NOT AVAILABLE.

DRIVER'S DOOR AJAR LIGHT COMES ON. MAKING A DINING SOUND CONTINUOUSLY, TURNING INTERIOR CAR LIGHTS ON, AND WON'T ALLOW DOORS TO LOCK. BUT THE DOOR IS SHUT. THIS CONCERNS ME WITH THE LIGHTS TURNING ON AT NIGHT, AND WHAT IF I REALLY DO HAVE A DOOR THAT ISN'T SHUT. THIS CAN HAPPEN AS SOON AS YOU START THE CAR, OR LATER WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD.

REAR TAILLIGHTS MELTING IN THEIR SOCKETS.

FOUND THE VEHICLE WITH A DEAD BATTERY THIS MORNING. BATTERY IS ONLY 1.5 MONTHS OLD. JUMP STARTED THE VEHICLE AND THEN FOUND THAT WHILE RUNNING AND DOORS CLOSED, THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT WAS ON AND ALL DOME LIGHTS. CHECKED ALL DOORS MULTIPLE TIMES, STILL WOULD NOT SHUT OFF. TRIED TO LOCK DOORS WHILE ENGINE RUNNING AND SINCE THE CAR BELIEVED A DOOR WAS OPENED IT IMMEDIATELY UNLOCKED ALL THE DOORS. NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO TRAVELING WITH A RISK OF A DEAD BATTERY AGAIN OR ON THE HIGHWAY WITH NO ABILITY TO LOCK THE DOORS. SEEMS FORD HAS EXACT SAME ISSUES WITH OTHER MODELS. THEY NEED TO RECALL THE 08S AS WELL.

MY 2008 FORD EDGE (SINCE I BROUGHT IT) HAS BEEN HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE, ALL OF THE LIGHTS ON THE PANEL WILL LIGHT UP( WRENCH LIGHT, AIRBAG LIGHT, TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT...ETC) THE ODOMETER WILL GO OFF AND HAVE ONLY DASHES, THE CAR WILL THEN HAVE A LOSS OF ACCELERATION. THE CAR FEELS LIKE IT IS TRYING REALLY HARD TO STAY IN GEAR OR CHANGE GEARS.THIS WILL HAPPEN ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 60MPH AS WELL AS LOCAL ROADS AT LOWER SPEEDS. I WILL HAVE TO PUT MY HAZARDS ON AND PULL OVER ON THE SIDE. WE FIGURED OUT THAT IF YOU DISCONNECT THE CABLES ON THE BATTERY FOR A FEW MINUTES THEN RECONNECT THE CAR WILL THEN RUN AGAIN OK. THIS IS A SERIOUS HAZARD. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT SEVERAL TIMES ON THE HIGHWAY DUE TO THIS ISSUE AND HAVE BEEN HIT FROM BEHIND GETTING ON...

WHILE DRIVING MY 2008 FORD EDGE, THE "WRENCH" LIGHT COMES ON AND MY CAR LOSES ALL POWER. WHEN I STEP ON THE GAS IT IS LIKE I AM IN NEUTRAL MY CAR WILL NOT DRIVE. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY IN TRAFFIC. I AM SO SCARED I AM GOING TO BE REAR-ENDED. I DID A LOT OF RESEARCH AND FOUND MANY OTHERS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. APPARENTLY IT IS THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY. *TR

TRANSMISSION DISENGAGES AT RANDOM WHILE MOVING IN TRAFFIC. ONCE IT OCCURS, VEHICLE CANNOT BE MOVED UNDER IT'S OWN POWER. ENGINE RUNS, BUT TRANSMISSIONS SLIPS. HIGH POTENTIAL FOR BEING STRANDED IN TRAFFIC AND STRUCK. HAS OCCURRED AT LEAST 4 TIMES. WAS ABLE TO COAST TO SIDE OF ROAD. ELECTRONICS IN DASH ACT UP, INCLUDING SERVICE WRENCH AND NO SPEEDOMETER. APPARENTLY A KNOWN ISSUE BY FORD (TSB 07-21-11). LOTS OF COMMON COMPLAINTS ONLINE INVOLVING 2007-2008 MODEL EDGES. RELATED TO FAULTY SENSORS (AA5Z-7H103-B & AA5Z-7M101-B). *TR

MY VEHICLE FORD EDGE MODEL 2008, LOST CONTROL AS WELL AS SPEED WHEN THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME TO THE DASHBOARD, IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE AIRBAG LIGHT LIT UP, I HAD LITTLE OR NO ENGINE POWER TO ENGAGE GEAR TO KEEP UP WITH TRAFFIC SPEED. MY SPEED DROPPED TO 40 MILES OR LESS PER HOUR. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION BECAUSE AT THAT MOMENT THE ODOMETER LIGHTING ALSO WENT OFF. DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AT NIGHT NO ONE DRIVES BELOW 40 MILES PER HOUR, MADE THE SITUATION PRETTY GRAVE AND DANGEROUS. THE PROBLEM COMES FROM THE POWER TRAIN FAULTY SENSORS NEAR THE TRANSMISSION NEED TO BE REPLACED COSTING OVER $800,00, AS FOR THE AIRBAG I HAVEN'T RECEIVED A INVOICE YET.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD EDGE. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE, IT FAILED TO START. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE IGNITION COIL, POWER CONTROL MODULE, AND CATALYTIC CONVERTER FAILED AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 117,000. ..UPDATED 11/21/16 *BF

FIRST I WAS DRIVING WHEN MY BREAKS STARTED TO FEEL LIKE THEY WERE LOCKING UP. COME TO FIND OUT IT WAS THE POWER BREAK BOOSTER WHICH COST ME $504.00. THEN 2 WEEKS LATER MY CAR STARTS TO DO A PUTTING FEELING AND COME TO FIND OUT 2 OF THE COILS BURNT UP THE POWER CONTROL MODULE COSTING ME $1058.00. A FEW MONTHS BEFORE THIS IT WAS IN THE FORD DEALERSHIP BECAUSE OF A LEAK ON THE FUEL PUMP. COSTING ME $216. I AM FURIOUS I HAVE HAD TO SPEND THIS IN THE LAST MONTH. I JUST SEEN ON THE NEWS THAT FORD HAS A RECALL ON THE POWER CONTROL MODULE BUT IT WAS NOT MY YEAR. I AM SIMPLY ASKING IF SOMEONE WOULD PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS SO MAYBE I CAN GET SOME OF THIS MONEY BACK TO PAY OFF THE DEBT IT CAUSED ME.
