2008 FORD EDGE Power Train Problems

2016 DRIVING OUT OF SUBDIVISION,CAME TO STOP BEFORE STARTING UP INCLINE.MOTOR WAS RACING BUT CAR WAS SLOWLY MOVING,DROVE A SHORT DISTANCE,AT VERY SLOW MOVEMENT.PULLED OFF ROAD AND HAD CAR TOWED TO FORD DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT. THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG. 2018 AFTER HWY. DRIVING AND THEN TURNING ROAD...CAME TO STOP SIGN,PUT FOOT ON GAS TO MAKE TURN AND CAR MOTOR WAS RACING BUT CAR WOULD BARELY MOVE.MOVED ABOUT 8 FEET THEN PUT GEAR INTO NEUTRAL FOR A MINUTE AND THEN PUT GEAR INTO DRIVE.IT MADE A LOUD NOISE , BUT DID GO INTO DRIVE. DROVE 1 BLOCK AND IT APPARENTLY SLIPPED OUT OF GEAR AND ROLLED TO A STOP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD EDGE. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, A CLUNKING NOISE WAS PRESENT WHEN SHIFTING GEARS AND THE VEHICLE HESITATED WHILE ACCELERATING. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED DURING THE FAILURES. AFTER TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON, THE FAILURE WOULD SOMETIMES BE CORRECTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURES. THE MANUFACTURER AND LOCAL DEALER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

PTU HAS OVERHEATED CAUSING THE OIL INSIDE TO BECOME BLACK AND GUMMY, ALSO CAUSING ONE OR BOTH SEALS TO FAIL LEADING TO THE UNDERCOATING OF THE VEHICLE TO BE COVERED IN BLACK THICK OIL. THIS WAS NOTICED ONLY AFTER A 200 MILE RUN ON THE INTERSTATE IN THE WINTER OF 2017, 65-80 MPH... WE HAVE SINCE FOUND THAT NUMEROUS OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH THIS GENERATION OF AWD PTU'S AND IS A ENGINEERING ISSUE WITH THE DESIGN OF THE VEHICLE

CHECK ENGLINE LIGHT & WRENCH COMES ON AND THE 2008 EDGE SUDDENLY LOST POWER, THEN ENTERED "LIMP MODE". MY HUSBAND TOOK IT IN 3 DIFFERENT TIMES TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT, AND EACH TIME WAS TOLD THEY COULDN'T FIND THE PROBLEM. THE 4TH TIME I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM ON A 45MPH, 3 LANE ROAD. THE POWER JUST WENT OUT, ACCELARATOR NO LONGER WORKED, BUT THEN RETURNED BUT ONLY ABOUT 5MPH. LUCKY I WASN'T KILLED! I TOOK IT BACK TO SERVICE DEPT. AND TOLD THEM THEY NEEDED TO CHECK THE THROTTLE BODY (ETB). THEY LAUGHED AT ME, BUT THEN CALLED 3 DAYS LATER TO TELL ME THAT IT IS THE ETB AND OVER $750. I CONTACTED FORD AS THEY HAD ISSUED THE SO-CALLED "CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM" EXTENDING THE ETB WARRANTY COVERAGE FOR UP TO 10 YEARS OF SERVICE OR 150,000 MILES. FORD SAYS ALL VEHICLES ARE ELIGIBLE FOR THE PROGRAM, REGARDLESS...

TRANSMISSION FAILURE TRAVELLING AT 55 MPH WITH TRANSMISSION DE-DECELERATING TO FIRST GEAR AND 20 MPH ALMOST RESULTING IN SERIOUS CAR ACCIDENT ON HIGHWAY. PREVIOUSLY NO SYMPTOMS OF ISSUES WHILE DRIVING.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V384000 (AIR BAGS), BUT FOUND THE RECALL ONLINE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. JOHN KENNEDY FORD OF CONSHOHOCKEN (1403 RIDGE PIKE, CONSHOHOCKEN, PA 19428 (888) 377-1951) WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED WITHOUT WARNING AND THE VEHICLE JERKED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A COLLISION CENTER FOR BODY REPAIRS AND THE TECHNICIAN INFORMED HER THAT THERE WAS A TRANSMISSION FAILURE. THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THERE WAS NO EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THE TRANSMISSION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUES AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE WRENCH ICON AND THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL FAILED TO WORK AND THE VEHICLE GRADUALLY CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE SPEED ON THE ODOMETER AND THE TACHOMETER WAS INCORRECT. THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, TURNED OFF, AND TURNED ON THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO NORMAL. THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESTART. THE VEHICLE AUTOMATICALLY RESTARTED AND THE SPEED AUTOMATICALLY INCREASED FROM 0 TO 70 MPH. THE CONTACT APPLIED THE BRAKES TO REDUCE THE SPEED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 105,929. *BF *TR

WHILE DRIVING ,IN FULL MOTION, , THE CAR COMES TO AN ALMOST STOP! SCARES YOU TO DEATH, YOU CHECK TO MAKE SURE YOU HAVEN'T ACCIDENTLY PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL , ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH LIGHT UP ,THE CHECK ENGINE, THE LOW TIRE GAGE SYMBOL, THE TOOL LIGHT,, THE SPEEDOMETER STOPS WORKING, . THE CAR REFUSE TO MOVE FORWARD, PLACED IN REVERSE IT MOVES BACKWARD ,THE FORD DEALER IS UNABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM ,CODES DON'T SHOW UP TO HELP IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM. THE DANGER IS IT HAPPENS WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING. ITS BEEN DIAGNOSED AS A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM (VERY EXPENSIVE) BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT IT IS. YOU REPROGRAM IT TEMPORARY, BY TAKING THE POSITIVE BATTERY CABLE LOOSE FOR A FEW SECONDS, THE CAR DRIVES PERFECT UNTIL IT HAPPENS AGAIN, ITS HAPPEN THREE TIMES WITH THIS CAR, I HAVE CALLED THE FORD COOPERATE OFFICE TO REPORT THIS...

WHILE REGULAR DRIVING OR WHEN IN THE PROCESS OF ENGAGING A STOP SIGN THE CAR ENGINE DISENGAGES FROM THE TRANSMISSION AND LOOSE ANY CONNECTION BETWEEN THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION. IF ONE STEPS ON THE GAS THE TRANSMISSION MAKES A HOLLOWING NOISE AND FAILS TO MOVE, THE ENGINE RPM INCREASE WITH PRESSING THE GAS PADEL BUT THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT ENGAGE AS IF ONE IS LOW ON TRANSMISSION FLUID. IN ORDER FOR THE CAR TO ENGAGE INTO MOTION ONE HAS TO SHUT DOWN THE ENGINE COMPLETE AND THEN RESTART THE CAR WHERE AFTER IT JUST RUN S FINE AS IF NOTHING HAPPENED. WE HAVE ENCOUNTERED THIS SITUATION THREE TIMES THIS YEAR. THE CAR HAS AROUND 58600 MILES ON IT. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION TO BE IN SPECIALLY OF ONE IS ENCOURAGING AND INTERSECTION ETC AND IS VERY SCARY TO DRIVE AT TIMES...THANK YOU. WE CALLED THE FORD DEALER AND...

VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY FEELS LIKE IM CONSTANTLY BEING REAR ENDED UPON PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL AND ACCELERATING AT HIGHER SPEEDS/GEAR. HAD A HARD THUMPING BANG INTO GEAR LIKE THE TRANSMISSION BANGS INTO GEAR. SHIFTS FINE ON NORMAL ROADS BUT ONLY NOTICE ON THE HIGHWAY ESPECIALLY IN TRAFIIC WITH STOP GO SHIFTING. VERY SCARY TO DRIVE AND AFTER IT HAPPENS IT FEELS LIKE IT HAS NO POWER ACCELERATING. MECHANIC CANT DIAGNOSE DUE TO NOT HAVING ANY CODE STORED. SEEMS LIKE MANY EDGE OWNERS EXPERIENCE THIS SAME ISSUE AND CANT SEEM TO FIX THIS. HOPEFULLY FORD HAS THIS RECALL ADDRESSED VERY SOON. THE ONLY REASON WHY I BOUGHT THIS VEHICHLE WAS SAFETY AND IT SEEMS EVERY RECALL ISNT LIVING UP TO THAT STANDARD.

GOING 55 MPH. ALL OF A SUDDEN CAR LOSE POWER. ENGINE SOUNDS LIKE IT'S IN NEUTRAL BUT SHIFT LEVER IS IN D. IF YOU PRESS GAS, ENGINE SPEED SHOWS ON THE TACH BUT TRANSMISSION NOT RESPONDING. MADE A VERY HARROWING CONDITION AS I TRIED TO FIND A SAFE PLACE TO PULL OVER. WHEN SHIFTED FROM D TO P, VERY HARD JERKING MOTION THAT SHOOK THE CAR VIOLENTLY, TRANS MAKES A VERY HARD CLUNKING NOISE, AND AS IF WANTS TO SEPARATE FROM THE ENGINE. SAME RESULT WHEN SHIFTED FROM P TO R, AND P TO D. CAR IS CURRENTLY PARKED WAITING FOR MECHANIC TO DIAGNOSE. DON'T HAVE MONEY TO TAKE IT TO OVERPRICED DEALER. FROM WHAT I CAN SEE FROM BLOGS, FORUMS, BOARDS, ETC, ON THE INTERNET LOOKS LIKE NOT AN ISOLATED CASE.

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.

WRENCH LIGHT COMES ON,LOW AIR TIRE LIGHT,AIR BAG LIGHT ON,SPEEDOMETER QUITS AND NO POWER AND HARD CLUNKING IN THE TRANSMISSION.JUST BOUGHT THIS,OWE $11,000. ON THIS CAR THAT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE,WHAT JUST FORD? DRIVE UNTIL WE GET KILLED!

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...

TWO WEEKS AGO I WAS DRIVING ON NJ ROUT 9 WHEN THE TRANSMISSION SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS IN NEUTRAL BUT IT WASN'T. ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS WERE ON AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE TO A SAFE AREA AND STOP. I DID NOT TURN THE CAR OFF AND EXITED THE CAR AND TRIED TO OPEN THE REAR DOORS AND HATCH BUT COULDN'T. NEXT I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND WAITED A FEW MINUTES BEFORE STARTING IT. WHEN IT STARTED, ALL WAS FINE. THE NEXT MORNING I DROVE IT TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP WITHOUT INCIDENT. THERE WAS ONLY 62,000 MILES ON IT AT THE TIME BUT THE WARRANTY EXPIRED BECAUSE IT WAS MORE THAN SEVEN YEARS. THE OSS WAS REPLACED AT A COST OF 750.00. THIS IS NOT THE FIRS MAJOR ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE. LESS THAN ONE YEAR AGO TWO COILS FAULTED CAUSING A BACK FEED OF TOO MUCH VOLTAGE TO...

WHEN YOU STEP ON THE GAS THERE IS NO POWER. WHEN THIS HAPPENED THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AND THE SPEEDOMETER. WOULDN'T WORK THE TACK REVED UP THE LOW TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE LITTLE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. THE CAR WOULD NOT GO. NOW IT'S GOING TO COST AROUND $3000.00 TO FIX IS WHAT I WAS TOLD AND THE CAR ONLY HAS 90,000 MILES ON IT. I SEE A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. FORD SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL FOR THESE TRANSMISSIONS. BEFORE SOMEONE GETS INJURED. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WHEN I LOST POWER GOOD THING I COULD PULL OVER SAFELY.

I HAVE A 2008 EDGE W/ 120K MILES AND ONCE IN A WHILE, IT GETS STUCK IN THE 1ST GEAR. IT DID IT TO ME TWICE IN ONE MONTH, AND I NOTICE IT WHEN I'M GOING DOWN HILL (LIKE A PARKING GARAGE). ONCE I'M OUT ON THE STREET, THAT'S WHERE IT GETS STUCK IN THE FIRST GEAR. I HAD TO PULL OVER TURN OFF THE EDGE WAIT FOR ABOUT 1 MINUTE AND STARTED IT BACK UP, AND I LIKE IT RESETS THE SYSTEM CAUSE IT WORKS FINE AFTER THAT.

VEHICLE OFTEN SHIFTS HARD. IN THE (7) YEARS THAT WE'VE HAD THE 2008 FORD EDGE, THERE HAVE BEEN (6) OCCASIONS THAT WE HAVE BEEN TRAVELLING 60 TO 70 MPH AND THE SPEEDOMETER WILL FALL TO ZERO, AND THE ODOMETER WILL READ "ODOMETER DATA ERROR". WE CAN STILL TRAVEL AT 60MPH OR SO BUT THE ENGINE RPMS CLIMB TO 3000 AND YOU LOSE POWER. YOU CAN'T CLIMB A HILL, EXCEPT IN REVERSE, AND UNLESS YOU'RE ON LEVEL GROUND YOU CAN'T MOVE AT ALL. THE "WRENCH" LIGHTS UP ON THE DASH AND THE ONLY WAY TO GET OUT OF THIS SITUATION IS TO STOP THE VEHICLE, TURN OFF THE IGNITION AND WAIT FOR 5 TO 10 MINUTES FOR EVERYTHING TO RESET. I'M VERY CONCERNED FOR MY FAMILY'S SAFETY ON THE HIGHWAYS AS THEY TRAVEL WITHOUT ME QUITE OFTEN.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND SUDDENLY MY SPEED GAUGE STOPED WORKING. SO I PULLED OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND SHUT IT OFF. TURNED IT BACK ON AND PUT IT BACK INTO DRIVE IT JERKED HARD AND WOULDN'T MOVE UNTIL I FLOORED IT THEN IT MOVED SLOWLY THIS HAS HAPPENED MORE THAN ONCE SEEMS DANGEROUS

TRANSMISSION RECALLS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE JERKED AS IT SLOWED DOWN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS DOWNSHIFTING ROUGHLY. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 86,000.

TRANSMISSION SENSORS ARE BAD AND VEHICLE HAS 80,000 MILES.

WRENCH LIGHT, DASHES ON ODOMETER, SPEEDOMETER ON ZERO, AIRBAG LIGHT ON. LOSES THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE PROPERLY. IT HAS HAPPENED 6 TIMES THIS MONTH, USUALLY ON THE HIGHWAY AFTER I'VE HAD TO SLOW DOWN WITH TRAFFIC AND TRY TO ACCELERATE AGAIN. GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD OR A PARKING LOT AND SHUT THE CAR OFF. RESTART IT ALL WARNING LIGHTS ARE GONE BUT STILL WILL NOT ACCELERATE. SHIFT IN AND OUT OF REVERSE AND DRIVE WITH VERY LOUD KNOCKING AND JERKING. MOVE CAR BACK AND FORTH. RESTART AND REPEAT MULTIPLE TIMES BEFORE IT RESETS ITSELF. IT NEVER HAPPENS BY SOMEWHERE THAT CAN SCAN IT TO GET A CODE. AS THE WRENCH LIGHT GOES OFF AND STAYS OFF AFTER YOU RESTART THE CAR NO ONE CAN TELL ME WHAT'S WRONG. IT IS EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING. I AM QUICKLY LOSING FAITH IN FORD AND THEIR REGARDS FOR CUSTOMERS SAFETY. GOOD THING...

I CAN BE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY SET ON CRUISE CONTROL AND MY VEHICLE WILL COME UP ODOMETER FAILURE A WRENCH LIGHT, AND TRANSMISSION LIGHT AND SEVERAL OTHERS COME ON NO SPEEDOMETER. IF I COME TO A STOP TAKING OFF THE VEHICLE IS STUCK IN HIGH GEAR AND WILL BARELY PICK UP ANY SPEED UNTIL IT MAKES A HARD LOUD SHIFT. YOU CAN PULL OVER AND RESET IT BUT WHEN YOU TAKE OFF IT IS THE SAME THING. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS YOU DON'T KNOW WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN AND I HAVE BEEN IN THE MIDDLE LANE ON A HIGHWAY BEFORE WHEN IT KICKED OUT. THIS HAS BEEN LINKED BACK TO BAD TSS AND OSS SENSORS IN THE TRANSMISSION THEY NEED TO BE RECALLED BEFORE IT KILLS SOMEONE.

ODO ERROR DATA ERROR WHILE DRIVING. ODOMETER STOPS WORKING, WRENCH LIGHT TURNS ON, THEN AIR BAG LIGHT. LOSS OF POWER, TRANSMISSION GETS STUCK IN GEAR. YOU CAN'T ACCELERATE AND HAVE TO CRUISE ON TO THE RIGHT TO PULL OVER. HAPPENED TWICE, ONCE ON THE FREEWAY. CODE GOES TO THE SPEED SENSOR WHICH CONTROLS THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTING. AFTER YOU TURN OFF YOUR CAR AND TURN IT ON CODE RESETS HOWEVER CAR IS STUCK IN GEAR. AFTER A FEW HARD SHIFTS FINALLY GOES BACK INTO GEAR. FORD DEALERSHIP SAYS COMMON PROBLEM HOWEVER CAN'T FIGURE OUT IF ITS A HARNESS OR THE SENSORS. REPLACING SENSORS REQUIRES DROPPING THE TRANSMISSION.

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE TRANSMISSION SKIPPED A COUPLE OF TIMES. AFTER STOPPING THE TRANSMISSION MADE A WHINING NOISE. WHEN I MOVED FORWARD IT WAS VERY SLOW TO MOVE AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE PROPERLY. ARRIVING HOME I PUT THE VEHICLE IN REVERSE AND IT MADE A CLUNKING NOISE. IT IS CURRENTLY AT THE TRANSMISSION SHOP FOR EVALUATION.

MY BRAKES MAKE A HISSING NOISE WHEN I PRESS DOWN.. I HAVE TO PRESS ALL THE WAY DOWN TO GET IT TO STOP. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS.ALSO, MY BACK TAIL LITE HAS HAD TO BE REPLACED 2 TIMES BECAUSE THE SOCKET GOT HOT. ALSO, MY CAR JUMPS SOMETIMES WHEN PRESSING ON THE GAS(TRANSMISSION ISSUE?) I HAVE ALSO HAD THE GAS TANK REPLACED(DUE TO A RECALL)

MY CAR HAS MULTIPLE WARNING LIGHTS COME ON ALL AT THE SAME TIME. MY DASH SAYS ODO SYSTEM FAIL, THEN IS SAYS THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR FAILS, THE WRENCH FOR TRANSMISSION COMES ON, THEN THE TIRE PRESSURE SYMBOL COMES ON AND FLASHES, THE AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON, AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. THEN MY ODOMETER GOES TO ZERO. IF I SLOW DOWN TO A STOP SIGN OR SOMETHING, I PUSH THE GAS AND THE RPM'S ON MY CAR GO WAY UP BUT MY CAR HARDLY MOVES. ONCE I GET GOING TO A HIGHER SPEED, THE RPM'S GO DOWN...IT IS ALMOST LIKE IT IS STUCK IN A HIGH GEAR. THEN WHEN I PUT MY CAR INTO DRIVE AFTER IT WAS IN PARK, MY CAR JOLTS AND MAKES A HUGE CLANKING NOISE. IF I SHUT MY CAR OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON, IT MAKES A LOUD CLANKING NOISE...

MY VEHICLE'S TRANSMISSION ACTS LIKES IT'S SLIPPING OR IN NEUTRAL WHEN IT'S NOT. JERKS WHEN IT SHIFTS GEARS. LOSES POWER WHEN I TRY TO ACCELERATE. I DID SOME RESEARCH THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE TRANSMISSIONS IN THE FORD EDGE'S. I STARTED HAVING ISSUES SEVERAL WEEKS AGO BACK IN OCTOBER 2016. WHY SHOULD ALL THE OWNERS OF THESE DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS TO BE FIXED. THAT'S NOT RIGHT! WE GAVE FORD OUR HARD EARNED MONEY JUST TO GET A DEFECTIVE VEHICLE. TALKED TO FORD TODAY AND THEY DON'T CARE. NOT GOING TO DO ANYTHING THEY STATED. TODAY I WAS AT A 4 WAY STOP IN A SCHOOL ZONE AND WHEN I WANTED TO TAKE OFF IT ACTED LIKE IT WAS IN NEUTRAL. I GOT TO WHERE I COULD PULL OVER AND SAT THERE A FEW MINUTES AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT THE OTHER MILE HOME....

STOPPED AT A LIGHT WOULD NOT PULL FORWARD AFTERWARDS LOUD CLUNKING NOISE, AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON, SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON, ODOMETER WENT TO ZERO, CAR WOULD JERK WHILE IN GEAR BUT WOULDN'T MOVE FORWARD OR REVERSE. I'VE DONE SOME RESEARCH ON THIS PROBLEM, HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH 2007 AND 2008 EDGE. WITH MOST BEING TRANSMISSION SENSOR FAILURE. FORD KNOWS OF THIS PROBLEM WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT THEN PROCEEDED TO DRIVE OFF OR ACCELERATE UNABLE TO MOVE. GAVE MORE GAS NO ACCELERATION ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE SHOULDER NOTICED THE TOOL BAR ON DASH. TURNED THE CAR OFF AND WAITED 5 MINUTES THEN STARTED THE CAR AND PUT INTO DRIVE A LOUD THUD WAS HEARD THEN THE TOOL BAR WENT AWAY WAS ABLE TO ACCELERATE DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO DEALER. DURING THE DRIVE CAR DIDN'T RESPOND WELL TO ACCELERATION BUT RPMS INCREASED BUT CAR DIDN'T INCREASE IN SPEED. ALL OF THIS OCCURRED ON A CITY STREET WITHOUT TURNS

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

DRIVING AT I275 TO ST PETERSBURG, AT 60MPH THE CAR MADE A LOUD NOISE FROM THE ENGINE AND REDUCED GEARS ABRUPTLY, IT FELT LIKE A HARD BRAKING FROM THE ENGINE, VERY HARD. THE RPM WENT SKYROCKET, THE CAR LOST POWER AND WOULDN'T GO OVER 45MPH OR IT WOULD DO THE SAME AGAIN. IT LOOKED LIKE IT WAS ON A VERY LOW GEAR, AS IT WAS AT 40MPH DOING ALMOST 4000RPM... I STOPPED AT A GAS STATION, TURNED IT OF AND LET IT SIT FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES. WHEN I TRIED TO GO BACK ROME, AFTER 2 MILES IT DID THE SAME, IT LOST POWER. I DROVE BACK TO THE GAS STATION AND HAD IT TOWED HOME.

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.

FOR NO PARTICULAR REASON MY EDGE DECELERATES TO TEN MILES AN HOUR WHILE THE TACH READS 3RPMS IT HAS HAPPENED ON ALL TYPES OF ROADS AND IN TRAFFIC ALSO. THE TRANNY FLUID IS ALWAYS FINE. NO CODES ON DASH EITHER. I HAVE MY GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND IT WILL ONLY CREEP AT 10 MPH. WHEN IT REENGAGES IT IS A LARGE HARD JERK FORWARD. ONE EVENING AS I PULLED INTO MY OWN DRIVEWAY IT WOULDN'T MOVE FORWARD AT ALL I SHUT IT OFF WAITED RESTARTED IT AND IT WAS LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED. IT DOES STUDDER A BIT GOING UPHILL ALMOST LIKE IT DOESN'T WANT TO GO THEN IT DOES. FOR A WHILE I THOUGHT IT WAS THINGS LIKE BAD GAS DIRT IN A FUEL LINE LOW FLUIDS BUT IT ISN'T THIS 2008S NEED A RECALL AS MANY OTHER EDGE OWNERS HAVE THE SAME ISSUES. I HAVE MADE AN...

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.

MY RADIO HAS A SHORT IN THE HARDWARE. FACTORY INSTALLED RADIO AND IT WILL TURN OFF AND TURN BACK ON REPETITIVELY SOME DAYS, NOT ALLOWING ME TO UTILIZE SYNC. TRANSMISSION HAS STARTED KICKING INTERMITTENTLY FOR THE PAST MONTH. WHILE DRIVING AND SLOWING DOWN.

DRIVING STRAIGHT ON FREEWAY AT 70 MPH AND THE DASH SUDDENLY DISPLAYS ODO ERROR. WRENCH LIGHT, LOW TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT, AND AIR BAG LIGHT COME ON. SPEEDOMETER SHOWS 0 MPH BUT TACH STILL WORKS. AFTER I STOP THE CAR AND TRY TO TAKE OFF AGAIN IT HAS NO PICKUP. TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO BE STUCK IN 5TH GEAR OR OVERDRIVE. TACH GOES UP TO 2500 RPM BUT VEHICLE BARELY MOVES. WHEN I SHIFT FROM PARK TO DRIVE OR REVERSE THE ENGINE/TRANSMISSION MAKES A HORRIBLE CLUNKING NOISE THAT MAKES ME THINK IT WILL COME OUT OF THE BODY. THE ONLY WAY I CAN GET THE CAR DRIVEABLE AGAIN IS TO DISCONNECT BATTERY FOR A FEW MINUTES THEN RECONNECT. EVERYTHING RESETS AND WORKS BUT OCCURS AGAIN-SOMETIMES A WEEK LATER, SOMETIMES A COUPLE OF MONTHS LATER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD EDGE. WHILE STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE WITHOUT WARNING. THE ENGINE REVVED AND THE RPMS INCREASED. WHEN THE GEAR WAS SHIFTED INTO THE PARK POSITION, THE VEHICLE LUNGED FORWARD. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 120,000.

ON APPROXIMATELY 7/6/2016, WHILE IN MOTION, TRAVELING NORTH ON RIVERSIDE DRIVE -I-55 NORTH, ON THE 2-LANE OVERPASS AT I-55 & MCLEMORE, 18 WHEELER WAS TO THE RIGHT AND I WAS BEHIND ANOTHER MOTORIST IN LINE AND TRAVELING ABOUT 70 MPH WITH A LINE OF VEHICLES BEHIND, IT WAS AFTER WORK RUSH HOUR 4:45PM; WHEN AS I AM DRIVING THE VEHICLE SPUTTERS, SEEMED TO IT LOSE POWER, DECELERATES IN THE MIDDLE OF ON GOING TRAFFIC. THE ENGINE LIGHT FLASHED AND THEN STAYED ILLUMINATED, I COULD NOT ACCELERATE IN ORDER GET OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AND TRAFFIC WAS AT A VERY FAST FLOW. MY SYNC SYSTEM SURGED, A-C STOPPED BLOWING COLD AIR, THE VEHICLE STARTED "MISSING" BUT THE VEHICLE DID NOT SHUT OFF. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO ADVANCE AUTO PARTS STORE AND WAS TOLD THAT I HAD A MISFIRE IN 3 OF THE IGNITION COILS, BOUGHT REPLACEMENT COILS AND...

2008 FORD EDGE ON OCCASION WILL JERK WHEN TAKING OFF

WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY ROAD THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE WHEN GIVEN GAS. MULTIPLE LIGHTS WENT ON THE DASH BOARD. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION BECAUSE THE CAR LITERALLY JUST STOPPED ACCELERATING WHILE IN MOTION. MECHANIC DIAGNOSED PROBLEM AS A FAULTY OUTPUT SPEED SENSOR IN THE TRANSMISSION. THIS IS AN ON GOING ISSUE THAT MANY FORD EDGE OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING BUT FORD IS NOT ACKNOWLEDGING THE PROBLEM. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL AS THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE. I SHOULD ALSO BE REIMBURSED BY FORD FOR THE REPAIR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ILLUMINATED AND THE SPEEDOMETER FLUCTUATED DOWN TO ZERO. THE CONTACT MANEUVERED THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND RESTARTED IT AFTER TEN MINUTES. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AN ABNORMAL SOUND EMITTED FROM THE TRANSMISSION AREA AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS SHIFTED INTO THE DRIVE POSITION AND OPERATED NORMALLY. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PAST YEAR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

IN AUGUST 2015 MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT 45 MPH ON A FOUR LANE ROAD WHEN THE VEHICLE CAME TO A SUDDEN CRAWL APPROX .10 MPH. THIS WAS ON A CITY STREET.SHE COULD BARELY GET OFF THE ROAD WITH LIMITED POWER. SHE CALLED ME TO COME TO THE SCENE AND WE HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED TO OUR MECHANIC. AT THE TIME, THE VEHICLE HAD 61,000 MILES ON IT. THE MECHANIC CALLED AND STATED THE PROBLEM CODE SHOWED IT WAS THE OUTPUT SPEED SENSOR (OSS) AND IT WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED ALONG WITH THE FLUID. UPON PICKING UP THE VEHICLE, IT WAS REPAIRED PROPERLY AND WAS BACK TO NORMAL. IT WAS REPAIRED BY A ASE MASTER MECHANIC. THE DELAY IN REPORTING THIS INCIDENT IS TWO FOLD. SINCE THE AUGUST 2015 INCIDENT, I HAVE SINCE DISCOVERED CHECKING ON-LINE THERE ARE NUMEROUS CASES OF THE 2007 & 2008...

MY CHILD AND I WERE DRIVING DOWN A BUSY INTERSTATE, 1100 MILES FROM HOME. THE VEHICLE WAS SET ON CRUISE CONTROL AT 70 MPH. WITHOUT WARNING, THE CAR JERKED. WE HAD ITEMS THAT FELL INTO THE FLOORBOARD. I LOOKED AT MY GAUGES AND NOTICED THE CARS SPEEDOMETER HAD GONE TO ZERO. THE CAR BEGAN TO COAST EVEN THOUGH THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS STILL ON. THERE WAS A LOT OF TRAFFIC ON THE INTERSTATE COMING BEHIND US. AS I PUSHED THE GAS PETAL, THE CAR WOULD NOT GO. I STOPPED THE VEHICLE AND CALLED A FORD DEALER AND THEY HAD IT TOWED. THE NEXT DAY WE WERE TOLD THAT IT WAS A "CATASTROPHIC INTERNAL FAILURE IN THE TRANSMISSION" ALSO, THAT IT BLEW OUT SENSORS ECT.. I HAVE WRITTEN FORD MOTOR COMPANY REGARDING THIS ISSUE AND THEY STATE THAT THERE ARE NO WARRANTIES OR FIELD SERVICE ACTIONS BEING TAKEN AND THEY URGED...

MY EDGE STARTED SLIPPING WHEN PLACED IN DRIVE SO I WOULD TURN IT OFF AND TURN IT ON UNTIL THE SLIPPING STOPPED AFTER I PLACED IT IN A GEAR. AFTER CHECKING FOR RECALLS I SAW SEVERAL OTHER OWNERS COMPLAIN ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE. THE ODOMETER SCREED DID SIMILAR CHECK AS OTHERS COMING UP WITH DASHES AND CYCLING AND CHECKING THROUGH PROCESSES. THE CAR WAS RECENTLY DRIVEN AND THE SAME SLIPPING HAPPENED BUT THIS TIME IT CAUSED INTERNAL DAMAGE TO THE TRANSMISSION. MOST OF THE COMPLAINTS I'VE READ ARE IN THE SAME MILEAGE RANGE.

IN RECENT WEEKS, CAR AT TIMES SEEMED TO SLIP SLIGHTLY WHILE SHIFTING OR THERE WAS A HARD, LAGGING SHIFT. WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY, SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING, INFO/TRIP READOUT ON DASH SHOWED DASHES INSTEAD OF NUMBERS. AFTER A FEW MINUTES, MULTIPLE WARNING LIGHTS SHOWED ON DASH, INCLUDING PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT, A WRENCH ICON, THEN THE LOW TIRE PRESSURE WARNING ICON. READOUT THEN CHANGED TO A TIRE PRESSURE FAULT MESSAGE. PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY AND AFTER MAKING A TURN, CAR SEEMED UNDER-POWERED/ACCELERATION WAS COMPROMISED. STOPPED AT A SERVICE STATION, TURNED OFF THE CAR, THEN RESTARTED. AFTER RESTARTING, WARNING ICONS ON DASH DISAPPEARED. WHEN CAR WAS SHIFTED INTO REVERSE, CAR JERKED VIOLENTLY AND LOUD 'CLUNKING' NOISE OCCURRED. SHIFTING IN AND OUT OF REVERSE, WHILE THE CAR WAS STILL STATIONARY, JERKING BECAME EVEN MORE PRONOUNCED AND CLUNKING NOISE BECAME LOUDER. HAD THE CAR TOWED TO FORD DEALER - AFTER DIAGNOSIS, WAS TOLD 2 SENSORS...

THE CAR JERKS INTO GEAR IN DRIVE AND REVERSE. WHEN THE CAR IS STILL AND PUSHING ON THE GAS TO BEGIN TO DRIVE, THE TACHOMETER REVS PAST 3 AND THE SPEEDOMETER IS BARING MOVING AND THE CAR IS NOT ACCELERATING. IT HARD SHIFTS INTO GEAR (DRIVE AND REVERSE) AND AT TIMES WON'T SHIFT INTO GEAR AT ALL. NO ACCELERATION IN THE CAR AND VERY DIFFICULT TO DRIVE AS SHIFTING INTO GEARS IS HARD AND JERKS THE CAR.

AFTER DRIVING FOR A WHILE (ROUGHLY A FEW HOURS) THE EDGE DOES THIS HARD JERK FORWARD THAT FEELS LIKE I'M PRACTICALLY BEING REAR ENDED. IT'S LIKE A HARD PAUSE, BEFORE IT JERKS FORWARD. THEN IT GRADUALLY ACCELERATES. ALSO, ON A FEW OCCASIONS, WHILE PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT, THE EDGE DID NOT WANT TO ACCELERATE THOUGH I WAS PRESSING ON THE GAS. MIND YOU, I WASN'T GOING FAST BECAUSE I HAD BARELY PULLED OUT OF THE PARKING STALL WHEN THIS OCCURRED. IT BARELY ACCELERATED THEN GRADUALLY CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP WHILE IN DRIVE. THIS HAS ALSO HAPPENED WHILE I WAS EXITING THE FREEWAY ONCE. I INITIALLY THOUGHT MY BATTERY WAS THE PROBLEM, BUT I HAD IT REPLACED THE FOLLOWING MORNING. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND I WAS TOLD NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT. THIS WAS THE SAME RESPONSE I GOT WHEN I'VE TAKEN IT TO FORD...

TURNED ON CAR AND PUT IT IN REVERSE THEN DRIVE WHEN PULLING OUT OF PARKING LOT,. TRANSMISSION MADE A LOUD "CLUNK". PRESSED HARD ON GAS BUT CAR WOULD BARELY CRAWL. SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING RPMS WOULD INCREASE DRAMATICALLY, WRENCH, CHECK ENGINE, AIRBAG, AND TIRE PRESSURE LIGHTS ALL CAME ON. CONTINUING ON CITY STREET PROBLEM REMAINED. CAR EVENTUALLY GAINED ENOUGH SPEED THAT RPMS WENT DOWN, BUT THE SPEEDOMETER STILL DID NOT WORK. THE NEXT DAY, THE PROBLEM DISAPPEARED EXCEPT CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINS ON.
