2008 FORD EDGE Power Train Problems

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHEN MY SPEEDOMETER AND ODOMETER STOPPED WORKING. THEN IT TOLD ME I HAD A ERROR AND A FAULT IN MY TIRE PRESSURE SYSTEM. MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON, INDICATING THAT IT WAS OFF. I PULLED OVER AND TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE. WHEN I STARTED IT BACK UP ALL THE ERROR MESSAGES CLEARED, BUT WHEN I WENT TO PUT MY CAR INTO DRIVE IT SOUNDED AS IF THE TRANSMISSION HAD DROPPED. I TRIED DRIVING ONLY TO REV THE ENGINE UP TO 3000 RPM WITH BARELY ANY MOVEMENT. WHEN EVER SHIFTING FROM DRIVE OR REVERSE IT MADE THAT LOUD POPPING NOISE. I TOOK IT TO A DEALERSHIP TO BE TOLD IT STOPPED DOING IT BUT THEY DIDN'T FIX IT. THEY MADE NO REPAIRS. THEY ARE LETTING ME PICK THE CAR UP AND DRIVE IT AGAIN WITH OUT ANY ACTUAL RESOLUTION, BUT THEY DID CHARGE ME MONEY...

WHILE AT A STOP SIGN ON A SMALL SLOPED ROAD, MY VEHICLE ROLLED BACKWARDS WHEN I LET GO OF THE BRAKE TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOPPED POSITION. THERE WERE CHILDREN WALKING BEHIND ME AND I ALMOST ROLLED INTO THEM. IN ADDITION, WHILE PARKED IN A FORWARD POSITION ON A SMALL SLOPED DRIVEWAY, I WAS UNABLE TO DRIVE OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY WITHOUT APPLYING MY FOOT TO THE BRAKE AND THE GAS AT THE SAME TIME. I ALMOST HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I BROUGHT IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THIS IS HOW THE FORD EDGE IS DESIGNED AND THIS IS NORMAL. ESSENTIALLY, I NEED TO HIT THE BRAKE AND GAS WHEN ON A SLIGHT SLOPE. THIS IS VERY DISTURBING AND DANGEROUS. *TR

WHILE PREPARING TO STOP AT A LIGHT, SEEMED TO HAVE LOST ALL POWER. SPEEDOMETER DROPPED TO ZERO, AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND ODOMETER WAS BLANK WITH A READOUT IN ITS PLACE THAT SAID SOMETHING LIKE ODO FAILURE ALSO THE WRENCH ICON LIT UP. SHIFTED TO PARK AND THE CAR JUMPED AND JERKED AND LOUD GRINDING NOISES CAME FROM TRANSMISSION. WAS ABLE TO CREEP TO A SIDE STREET. TURNED OFF ENGINE . WAITED SEVERAL MINUTES , RESTARTED CAR AND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL RETURNED TO NORMAL. DROVE HOME ABOUT 3 MILES. TOOK IT TO SHOP AND THEY SAID IT WAS A SHAFT SEAL. THEY REPLACED IT FOR $182.00 THE PART WAS $12. GOT HOME AND IT LEAKS VERY BADLY IT HAS LEAKED ABOUT A CUP OF FLUID IN 4 HOURS.(THIS WAS PARKED / NOT RUNNING) I AM TAKING IT BACK TO THE SHOP AND HOPING THEY CAN FIX IT RIGHT. I HAVE...

WHEN DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS AND THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR THERE IS A VERY HARD JERK WHEN THE SHIFT IS MADE. ALSO HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION GOING INTO A FAIL SAFE MODE WHICH PUTS IT INTO 5TH GEAR WHEN YOU ARE TRYING TO TAKE OFF AND THE ACCELERATION IS VERY SLOW. COULD LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT WHILE TRYING TO CROSS TRAFFIC AND YOU EXPECT TO BE ABLE TO TAKE OFF IN FIRST GEAR AND HAVE PROPER ACCELERATION. *TR

IN MAY, I WAS TRAVELING AT 55 MILES AN HOURS, WHEN MY CAR LURCHED FORWARD AND ALL THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS CAME ON. THE SPEEDOMETER STOPPED SHOWING MY SPEED, THE RPM'S MAXED OUT, LOST ALL LOW GEARS, AND THE ACCELERATOR WAS NOT RESPONDING PROPERLY. I WENT AND HAD THE TRANSMISSION LOOKED AT AND THE OIL CHANGED, ENGINE FLUSHED, ETC. SEVERAL WEEKS LATER I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. AFTER A SHORT TIME THE CAR STARTED RESPONDING PROPERLY AGAIN. ON 11/14/2014, I WAS TRAVELING AT 60 MPH AND EXPERIENCED THE SAME THING FOR THE 3RD TIME. ONCE I GOT TO A SAFE LOCATION I PULLED OVER. WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN PARK IT MADE A TERRIBLE NOISE. I CALLED ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE TO TOW THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP HAS SAID IT IS THE TRANSMISSION BUT HAVE YET TO DETERMINE THE EXACT PROBLEM. I DO NOT FEEL THE POWER TRAIN OF...

I WAS GETTING INTO THE EXIT LANE ABOUT 50 MPH WHEN MY CAR COMES TO A SUDDEN SLOW DOWN OF ABOUT 5 MPH. LUCKY I WAS ALREADY SLOWING DOWN.COULD HAVE BEEN A BAD SITUATION HAD I NOT BEEN EXITING THE FREEWAY. *TR

DRIVING AROUND 45 MPH IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, HIT THE BRAKES THEN THE GAS TO NO POWER AT ALL I WAS BARELY MOVING IN BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC AND WHEN THE TRAFFIC STARTED MOVING AGAIN I WAS CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF 4 LANES OF TRAFFIC BARELY AT A CRAWL. I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED JUST TRYING TO GET TO THE SHOULDER ! THIS PROBLEM IS JUST AS LIFE THREATENING AS THE LATEST RECALL BECAUSE OF THE BAD KEY/STARTER ISSUE. ARE THEY GOING TO WAIT TO RECALL TILL WE'RE KILLED DRIVING OUR FORD EDGE? AM I THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS NOTICED ALL THE COMPLAINTS JUST THIS YEAR INVOLVING THE 2008 FORD EDGE FOR THIS SAME ISSUE? PLEASE RECALL. *TR

KEPT LOOSING TRANSMISSION FLUID. DEALER TOLD ME POWER TRAIN AT A PRICE OF 1400 + THIS IS A FAULT OF THE EDGE MODEL WITH AWD. *TR

I SENT AN EMAIL TO THE FORD COMPANY , WE HAVE A 2008 FORD EDGE WE BOUGHT NEW WE HAVE ALWAYS HAD AN ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND THE CAR NOT MOVING UNLESS YOU STOP AND RESTART IT, THE ISSUE WAS SO SPORADIC FROM THE 1ST YEAR THAT WE HAVE HAD IN THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY CANT SEEM TO FIND A PROBLEM, THE CAR WOULD HAVE THE AIR BAG, WRENCH AND LOW TIRE LIGHT ON AND THE ODOMETER WOULD BE ALL DASHES, YOU COULD FLOOR IT AND THE TACH WILL MOVE BUT THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD NOT MOVE AND THE CAR WOULD BARELY MOVE, LATELY THE ISSUE HAS BECOME AN EVERYDAY THING YET STILL THE DEALERSHIP CANT FIND THE PROBLEM,I WAS CHECKING ONLINE AND FOUND THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH THEIR EDGE, MANY VIDEOS SHOWING THE EXACT PROBLEM ,MY FORD DEALER IS LOOKING AT IT...

I HAVE ONLY HAD MY EDGE A MONTH, HAD IT CHECKED BUMPER TO BUMPER BEFORE PURCHASE (I WORK AT AN AUTO SHOP) AND READ REVIEWS ONLINE. I WISH I HAD SEEN THESE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION AND HARD SHIFTING/REVVING BEFORE PURCHASE!! AS SOON AS I BOUGHT IT, WITHIN A FEW DAYS WHEN I WOULD LEAVE WORK AND TRY TO ACCELERATE IT HESITATES, CLUNKS LOUDLY, THEN FINALLY CATCHES AND TAKES OFF.. I'VE ALREADY HAD NEW PLUGS/BOOTS/COILS DONE, NEW BELTS AND FLUSHES DONE. YESTERDAY WAS THE WORST - I WAS TAKING OFF FROM A RED LIGHT AND AS I WAS PRESSING THE PEDAL IT REVVED AND JERKED AND BANGED. SO GLAD I HAVEN'T EVEN MADE MY FIRST PAYMENT YET AND SEEING THESE COMPLAINTS, ALREADY KNOW I'M GOING TO BE SINKING MASSIVE MONEY INTO THIS VEHICLE! PLEASE RECALL FORD!!! I'VE DRIVEN CRAPPY CARS MY ENTIRE LIFE, I FINALLY GET SOMETHING THAT LOOKS NICE...

DROVE THE CAR TO WORK WITHOUT ANY ISSUE. AFTER WORK, I DROVE TO A NEARBY CONVENIENCE STORE BY MY HOUSE AND HAD NO ISSUE. I LEFT THE STORE AND STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, I STEPPED ON THE GAS PEDAL BUT THE CAR BARELY MOVED AND WAS LABORING. I CHECKED TO MAKE SURE I WASN'T ON THE L GEAR BUT IT WASN'T BECAUSE I WAS ON D. I KEPT PRESSING ON THE GAS AND NOTICED A WRENCH LIGHT ON IN THE DASHBOARD. I MADE IT HOME AT LESS THAN 10 MILES PER HOUR WHICH WAS THE FASTEST THAT THE CAR WOULD GO. *TR

I PULLED OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE. I PULLED OUT OF MY NEIGHBORHOOD AND AS SOON AS I GAVE IT ANY GOOD AMOUNT OF GAS IT STARTING DRIVING REALLY ROUGH AND SHAKING AND THE A/C WENT OUT YOU COULD HEAR THE MISFIRE ON THE CYLINDERS AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS REVVING HIGH BEFORE IT WOULD SHIFT GEARS. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS OR ANYTHING AT THIS POINT. I TURNED BACK AROUND AND TOOK MY CAR BACK HOME TURNED IT OFF AND THEN TURNED IT BACK ON AND THAT'S WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WE PULLED THE CODE AND IT WAS P0352 (IGNITION COIL 2 OR PCM) SO WE BOUGHT AND CHANGED ALL SPARK PLUGS AND COIL 2. THIS STILL DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. SO I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND $3000 LATER THEY HAD TO REPLACE MY PCM (THE MAIN COMPUTER THAT RUN THE CAR)...

DRIVING THROUGH PARKING LOT WHEN SHIFT BETWEEN GEARS BECOMES VERY ROUGH. ENGINE REVS- BUT CAR HAS NO FORWARD MOVEMENT. WE WERE ABLE TO GET THE CAR IN REVERSE, AND BACK IN TO A PARKING SPACE. WE SHUT THE CAR OFF- TURNED THE CAR BACK ON AND THE ISSUE WAS RESOLVED- STILL SHIFTED A LITTLE HARD. *TR

I WAS DRIVING UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS AT ABOUT 35 MPH WHEN THE TRANSMISSION SEEMED TO BE SLIPPING AND THE WRENCH CAME ON THE DASH AND THE CAR LOST ALL POWER . I CAME TO A STOP AND SHUT THE CAR OFF AND CHECKED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND IT WAS GOOD. I STARTED THE CAR AGAIN AND IT WOULD REV HIGH BUT BARELY MOVE. I GOT HOME SLOWLY AND PARKED IT AND WHEN I CAME BACK OUT LATER AND TRIED IT, ALL THE POWER WAS BACK AND THE WRENCH WAS GONE AND IT DIDN'T CLUNK INTO GEARS LIKE IT WAS EARLIER. I THINK BY SHUTTING IT OFF AND TAKING OUT THE KEY FOR A COUPLE HOURS RESET A COMPUTER GLITCH IN THIS CAR. I HAVE HEARD MANY STORIES JUST LIKE MINE AND SPEAKING FOR MANY 08 EDGE OWNERS WE WANT THIS RECALLED. THIS COULD RESULT IN TONS OF MECHANIC BILLS AND...

THE VEHICLE STALLS AT LOW SPEEDS AND AT RED LIGHTS AND STOP SIGNS WITHOUT WARNING AND WITHOUT GREAT CONSISTENCY. THIS HAPPENS MULTIPLE TIMES PER DAY/TRIP WITH NO RESOLUTION. DEALER AND INDEPENDENT MECHANIC CANNOT IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM AS NO CODES ARE THROWN WHEN IT HAPPENS AND IT RESTARTS AFTER STALLING. THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC AND STEERING LOCKED WHEN TURNING THE CORNER AT INTERSECTION CAUSING LOSS OF CONTROL OF VEHICLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS UNDER RANDOM CONDITIONS. WEATHER CONDITIONS, VEHICLE TEMPERATURE, SPEED, DIRECTION, BRAKING OR ACCELERATION DOES NOT HAVE ANY FACTORS WHEN THIS HAPPENS. THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF RANDOMLY AND POWER IS LOST. NO CODES OR WARNING OF ANY KIND. FORD FACTORY HAS INVESTIGATED, WIRING HARNESS TO THE MASS AIRFLOW SENSOR HAS BEEN REPLACED BUT STILL CONTINUES TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, AN EXTREMELY STRONG BURNING ODOR EMITTED INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS, WHO INFORMED THAT THE POWER TRAIN WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 44,243.

HELLO, MY 2008 FORD EDGE IS HAVING A LOT OF TRANSMISSION FRICKING ISSUES !!!! SHIFTING HARD INTO REVERSE AND FROM 1ST TO 2ND !!! *TR

BOUGHT MY 2008 FORD EDGE 3 YEARS AGO WITH NO PROBLEMS. HAD SOME WORK DONE AFTER A WRECK YEAR AND A HALF AGO. AFTER THE REPAIR, IT BEGAN JERKING WHETHER I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY OR CITY STREETS. I NOTICED THAT WHEN IT JERKS, I LOSE RPMS AT THE SAME TIME. I HAVE TO HIT THE GAS TO GET IT TO ACCELERATE. FEELS LIKE THE GEARS ARE SLIPPING AND IT DOESN'T HAPPEN T CONSISTENT SPEEDS. SOME DAYS ARE WORSE THAN OTHERS AND SOME DAYS DOESN'T OCCUR AT ALL. IT WILL ALSO IDLE ROUGH AND HAD BEFORE JERKED WHEN GOING FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE. ALSO, APRIL 2014, I WAS BACKING INTO A PARKING SPOT WHEN THE CAR COMPLETELY DIED. I TURNED THE IGNITION OFF AND THEN STARTED THE CAR AGAIN. IT STARTED RIGHT UP. THAT IS THE ONLY TIME THAT HAS HAPPENED. *TR

THE VEHICLE REVS UP BUT DOESN'T GO ANYWHERE THEN JERKS INTO GEAR. *TR

AFTER EXITING HWY I WAS SLOWING DOWN AT A STOP LIGHT. AT ABOUT 25 MPH MY DASH LIGHTS LIT UP. WRENCH, TIRE PRESSURE AND AIR BAG LIGHTS ARE LIT. SPEED-O WAS NOT WORKING. AFTER LIGHT TURNED GREEN THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WITHOUT PUSHING GAS TO THE FLOOR AND RPM'S REACHED 5000RPM'S AS I WAS GOING THROUGH A VERY BUSY 4 WAY INTERSECTION. I PULLED OFF TUE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND PUT CAR IN PARK. WHILE SHIFTING BACK INTO DRIVE THE TRANSMISSION DID A VERY LOUD CLUNK AS IT SHIFTED THROUGH REVERSE AND NEUTRAL TO DRIVE. AFTER TURNING CAR OFF AND LETTING SET FOR MANY MINUTES IT NEVER RESET OR RESOLVED IT'S SELF. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SITUATION AND NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED BY FORD ASAP. *TR

MY FAMILY AND I WERE COMING HOME FROM A NICE DAY OUT, WE STOPPED AT THE STOP LIGHT AND WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN WE WENT TO ACCELERATE AND THERE WAS NO POWER, MY DASH LIT UP WITH A LOW TIRE PRESSURE CODE, A WRENCH CODE " AWD/POWERTRAIN ISSUE" AND A AIR BAG CODE MY ODOMETER STOPPED WORKING AND THE DIGITAL MILEAGE ONLY DISPLAYED DASHES. ONCE WE WERE ABLE TO MAKE IT THRU THE LIGHT "BARELY" WE PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHERE WE COULD SAFELY CHECK OUT THE VEHICLE. ONCE WE DETERMINED NO FLAT TIRE WE TRIED TO MOVE FORWARD BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD ONLY CRAWL AND THIS WAS PUTTING THE GAS PEDAL ALL THE WAY DOWN. WE WERE FINALLY ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME WE SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND WHEN WE RESTARTED AND PUT INTO GEAR WE HEARD A LOUD CLUNK AND THE VEHICLE SHOOK...

I BACKED UP INTO THE STREET LEAVING MY DRIVEWAY, I PUT IT IN DRIVE TO MOVE FORWARD AND WENT ABOUT 50 FEET AND THE CAR JERKED AND WOULD NOT MOVE ANYMORE, I TRIED TO PRESS ON THE ACCELERATOR AND THE CAR WOULD NOT GO. THIS IS NOT AN ACCEPTABLE ISSUE, I FEEL THAT IF MY WIFE WAS IN THE CAR ON THE FREEWAY THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN BAD. *TR

THIS HAS NOW HAPPENED TO ME TWICE WITH BOTH MY SMALL CHILDREN IN THE CAR WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY, AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. T HE SPEEDOMETER WENT TO 0, THE MAINTENANCE WRENCH DISPLAY LIT UP, ALONG WITH THE ERROR MESSAGE "TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR FAULT" (OR SOMETHING TO THAT EFFECT) AND I WAS UNABLE AFTER STOPPING AT A STOP LIGHT TO ACCELERATE ALMOST CAUSING THE PERSON BEHIND ME TO REAR END ME. ONCE GETTING TO MY HOME WHEN PUTTING THE CAR INTO PARK IT MAKES A LOUD CLUNKING NOISE THEN PROCEEDS TO JERK THE ENTIRE VEHICLE. AFTER LETTING THE CAR SIT FOR AN HOUR I TRIED TO TURN IT ONE ONCE AGAIN AND TEST DRIVING A FEW FEET FORWARD, IT ONLY MOVED AT A SLOW PACE WHEN GAS PEDAL APPLIED. *TR

WHEN TRAVELING, ALL OF A SUDDEN THE SPEEDOMETER GOES TO 0, THE MAINTENANCE WRENCH LIGHTS UP AND WE GET AN LED MESSAGE THAT I CANT RECALL EXACTLY AT THE MOMENT. THE VEHICLE CAN CONTINUE UNTIL YOU STOP. THEN IT CANNOT PROCEED FORWARD. ONCE YOU STOP AND SHIFT TO PARK, THEN TRY TO PROCEED AGAIN, THERE IS A LOUD CLUNKING NOISE FROM THE TRANSMISSION, AND THE VEHICLE CANT MOVE FORWARD. I BELIEVE IT IS GETTING STUCK IN 5TH OR OVERDRIVE. WHEN A CODE READER IS ATTACHED BY A MECHANIC, THE CODE IT CALLS OUT IS FOR THE OUTPUT SPEED SENSOR (IN THE TRANSMISSION). ONCE THE CODE IS CLEARED THE VEHICLE CAN PERFORM NORMALLY. WE HAD THE OSS REPLACED BY A REPUTABLE TRANSMISSION SHOP, AND IT WAS FINE FOR A MONTH OR SO. NOW AGAIN WE HAVE SEEN THE PROBLEM TWICE SINCE REPLACING THE OSS. THERE SEEM TO BE MANY COMPLAINTS ON...

I WAS STOPED AT STOP SIGN MY 2008 FORD EDGE WITH NO SIGNS OF PROBLEMS. WHEN I STARTED TO PULL OUT THERE WAS LOW POWER AND THE WRENCH SIGNAL WENT ON. CAR WOULD NOT GO FASTER THEN 5MPH. I WAS VERY CONCERNED FOR CARS IN BACK OF WERE IMPATIENT AND PASSING. I RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM ON THE INERTNET AND IT SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING WITH ALOT OF THESE MAKE AND MODEL CARS. *TR

WHEN I PUT INTO GEAR THE TRANSMISSION JERKS INTO GEAR. ALL THE VEHICLE CODES GO OFF AT ONCE. ONE INCIDENT I LOST POWER WHEN I CAME TO A STOP AT AN INTERSECTION. I ACCELERATED AND VEHICLE HESITATED TO ACCELERATE. THE. SPEEDOMETER READ ZERO AND I WAS CLEARLY GOING OVER 40MPH. I HAVE ONLY HAD THE VEHICLE 7MOS. I TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE AT THE FORD DEALER TWICE AND WAS TOLD IT WAS NOTHING AND THAT IT MIGHT BE THE BATTERY. TODAY IS THE FINAL STRAW. I AM WRITING THIS AT THE FORD DEALER. THE TRANSMISSION IS JERKING WAY TO MUCH. IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. AND THEY ARE TRYING TO PUT ME IN A NEW CAR..I WANT MY CAR FIXED. . *TR

LOSS OF POWER TO THE EXTENT OF NEXT TO NO ACCELERATION, TRANSMISSION NOT SHIFTING SMOOTHLY OR CORRECTLY, ODOMETER BLANKS OUT WITH DASHES, SPEEDOMETER QUITS WORKING, AIRBAG LIGHT AND TRANSMISSION WRENCH ILLUMINATE IN THE GAUGE CLUSTER. *TR

WHILE DRIVING DOWN VAN BORN ROAD (HEAVY TRAFFIC) THE SPEEDOMETER STOPPED AND WENT TO 0 MPH, THE ODOMETER READ DASHES, THE WRENCH ILLUMINATED IN THE CORNER, AND THE AIRBAG WARNING SIGN APPEARED. THE RPM'S IN MY VEHICLE BEGAN TO CLIMB HIGHER AS WELL AND THE CAR SPEEDOMETER DID NOT INDICATE ANY MPH AND BEGAN TO DECREASE, AFTER SLOWING DOWN AT TA RED LIGHT I NOTICED MY CAR WOULD BARELY MOVE AND IT SLOWLY CREPT UNTIL I GOT HOME 1/2 MILE FROM WHEN I NOTICED THE PROBLEM START. AS SOON AS I PARKED OTHER WARNING LIGHTS BEGAN FLASHING SUCH AS THE TIRE PRESSURE SIGN. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND THEN BACK ON AND I EXPERIENCED A HARD START, WHICH WAS LOUD, AND WHEN I WENT TO CHANGE GEARS THE CAR JERKED VIOLENTLY AS IF THE MOTOR WAS JUMPING. WHEN PLACING IN REVERSE GEAR THE JERK WAS EVEN MORE VIOLENT, LOUD...

I BOUGHT BRAND NEW A 2008 FORD EDGE I HAVE HAD SO MUCH TROUBLE WITH IT AND IT HAS BEEN IN SHOP SO MANY TIMES AND THEY STILL CAN'T FIGURE IT OUT. FROM TRANSMISSION TO HOT TEMP, BEARINGS IN TIRE BEING MELTED WITH UNDER 60,000 MILES!!!! I HAVE REPAIRED BRAKE BOOSTER TWICE!!! *TR

I BOUGHT MY 2008 BRAND NEW. AT 39,000MI I TOOK TO DEALERSHIP AFTER NOTICING THE TRANSMISSION LAGGING, SLIPPING, LOUD VERY HARD SHIFTS. ALSO WAS PARKING AT THE GROCERY STORE WHEN I PULLED INTO SPOT, WITH FOOT ON THE BREAK CAR LURCHED AND ENGINE REVVED. IF IT HADN'T HAD MY FOOT ON BREAK IT COULD HAVE HIT SOMEONE. OF COURSE DEALERSHIP COULDN'T REPLICATE, WAS TOLD TO BRING BACK WHEN IT DIDN'T IT MORE REGULARLY. AT 59,000 I TOOK IT BACK IN AFTER SEVER TIMES OF LOUD/HARD SHIFT AND JERKING LIKE I HAD BEEN REAR ENDED BY SOMETHING. AS WELL AS BEING ON A ROAD TRIP WHERE IT FELT LIKE IT SLIPPED OUT OF GEAR AND THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. I PULLED TO SIDE OF ROAD AND CALLED FORD. THEY SAID TO TURN CAR OFF AND BACK ON. WRENCH LIGHT WENT OFF AND CAR SEEMED FINE. THEN WHILE ON INTERSTATE IT...

2008 FORD EDGE: I WAS STOPPED AT AN INTERSECTION PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC AFTER DRIVING NORMALLY FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES. WHEN I HIT THE ACCELERATOR THEIR WAS NO POWER AND THE CAR INCHED FORWARD AT LOW SPEED AND THE RPMS INCREASED DRAMATICALLY. I WAS ABLE TO HIT THE BRAKE BEFORE AN ONCOMING VEHICLE ALMOST HIT MY DRIVERS SIDE AS I WAS ATTEMPTING TO TAKE A LEFT. ONCE I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER IN A SAFE LOCATION, I PUT IT IN PARK AND TRIED TO RE-ENGAGE THE TRANSMISSION IN DRIVE. THE VEHICLE WAS STILL UNRESPONSIVE, NO POWER TO ACCELERATE. I THEN SHUT OFF THE CAR AND RESTARTED AND THE CAR BEHAVED NORMALLY AFTER THE RESTART. I HAVE HAD THIS CAR FOR 3 YEARS WITH NO SIMILAR ISSUES. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE THERE IS NO WARNING SIGN AND THE CAR DOES NOT ACCELERATE AS EXPECTED. I WAS LUCKY THAT...

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY THE SPEEDOMETER STOPPED AND WENT TO 0 MPH, THE ODOMETER READ DASHES, THE WRENCH ILLUMINATED IN THE CORNER, AND THE AIRBAG WARNING SIGN APPEARED. THE RPM'S IN MY VEHICLE BEGAN TO CLIMB HIGHER AS WELL AND THE CAR SPEED BEGAN TO DECREASE, AGAIN I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY. I GOT OFF AN EXIT ABOUT 1.5 MILES FROM WHEN I NOTICED THE PROBLEM START. AFTER SLOWING DOWN AT THE END OF THE EXIT I NOTICED MY CAR WOULD BARELY MOVE AND IT SLOWLY CREPT UNTIL I WAS AT A SAFE SPOT TO PARK. AS SOON AS I PARKED OTHER WARNING LIGHTS BEGAN FLASHING SUCH AS THE TIRE PRESSURE SIGN AND ANOTHER THAT I CAN NOT REMEMBER. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND THEN BACK ON AND I EXPERIENCED A HARD START, WHICH WAS LOUD, AND WHEN I WENT TO CHANGE GEARS THE CAR JERKED VIOLENTLY AS...

WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE THE POWER TRAIN PROBLEM INDICATOR LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON AND THE CAR LOSES ALL POWER. CAR WILL NOT EXCEED 900 RPM AND WILL BARELY MOVE. I HAD THE TROUBLE CODES READ AND IT IS INDICATING THAT THE THROTTLE IS SHOWING STUCK CLOSED AND OPEN. I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE AS WITH SEVERAL OTHER FORD MODELS AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN PART OF THE EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT COVERED THE THROTTLE BODIES FROM SEVERAL OTHER MODELS. THIS ISSUE POSES A SERIOUS SAFETY RISK DO TO THE FACT THAT IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, IF THIS WERE TO HAPPEN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC IT COULD BE HORRIBLE. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM EXTENSIVELY ONLINE AND FOUND THAT IT IS A FAIRLY COMMON ISSUE WITH THE EDGE. *TR

WHILE TRYING TO GET ON THE HIGHWAY AT AROUND 40 TO 50 MPH THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND STARTED TO HESITATE. THE RPMS WENT UP BUT THE SHIFT DID NOT HAPPEN FOR MANY SECONDS LATER AND WITH A LOUD CLUNK WHEN IT DID SHIFT AND THEN WE WOULD ACCELERATE AND IT WOULD MAKE A SOUND AGAIN AND DOWN SHIFT. WE HAVE TAKEN IT TO DEALER AND THEY DO NOT FIND ANY PROBLEM. AFTER READING ON THE INTERNET OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR 2008 FORD EDGE AWD LIMITED, I CANNOT BELIEVE THERE IS NOT A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM. *JS

I OWN A 2008 FORD EDGE. RECENTLY I NOTICED MY EDGE HAVING A HARD TIME SHIFTING INTO FAST MODE. I TOOK IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP, NOTHING IS WRONG. TODAY IT WAS HORRIBLE!!! I GET TO THE STOP LIGHT, MY EDGE WOULD NOT "TAKE OFF" LIKE THE OTHER CARS. I SAT THERE EMBARRASSED FOR TWO MINS TRYING TO PRESS THE ACCELERATOR, EDGE FINALLY JERKED AND THEN TOOK OFF. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN FORD. I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY HAVE NOT RECALLED THIS EDGE. NOW, I HAVE TO PAY TO GET EDGE FIXED WHEN FORD COULD FIX THE ISSUE,. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS VEHICLE. *TR

TRANSMISSION IS BAD AND HAS BEEN SERVICED SEVERAL TIMES AND CONTINUES TO HAVE PROBLEMS. *TR

ENTERING HIGHWAY AND AUTO WOULD NOT SHIFT GEARS OR ACCELERATE. STAYED IDLE AT OVER 5 RPM'S AND HAD TO PULL OFF THE ROAD. SEEMED LIKE A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. TOWED TO REPAIR SHOP FOR ASSESSMENT.STILL AT SHOP. THIS VEHICLE ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS BEFORE THIS INCIDENT HAS REGULARLY ENGAGED IN A VIOLENT JERK WHEN I HAVE ENGAGED IT IN DRIVE OR REVERSE. SEEMS LIKE A TRANSMISSION ISSUE BUT DEALER WONT DO ANYTHING UNLESS THEY CAN DUPLICATE PROBLEM. I HAVE SEEN AND KNOW OF NUMEROUS OTHER FORD EDGE OWNERS THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE AND NO FIX HAS BEEN FOUND OR DEALER AND FORD WONT FIX UNLESS IT DUPLICATED THE ISSUE WHILE THEY HAVE THE VEHICLE AND MOST TIMES ITS SOMETHING NOT COVERED. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND THEY NEED TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. *JS

I SEE SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON YOUR WEB SITE, ABOUT ROUGH SHIFTING INTO REVERSE FROM THE PARKED POSITION AND WHEN BACKING UP FROM THE DRIVE POSITION. IS THERE A PLANED RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE? *TR

THIS OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES WITH MY FORD EDGE. I WILL BE DRIVING A HIGHWAY SPEEDS, AND ON THE DASHBOARD: 1. THE ODOMETER TURNS FROM NUMBERS TO DASHES 2. THE SPEEDOMETER STOPS WORKING 3. VARIOUS SERVICES LIGHTS WILL TURN ON (EACH TIME IT HAPPENED, DIFFERENT LIGHTS CAME ON) THEN,I BRAKE TO A FULL STOP, THE CAR LOSES ALL THROTTLE, AND I'M BARELY ABLE TO ACCELERATE. WHEN I GO TO SHIFT GEARS, THERE IS A HARSH, CLUNKING NOISE IN THE TRANSMISSION AS I'M SHIFTING. I WAS TOLD THIS WAS A DEFECT IN THE SPEED SENSORS BUT IT OCCURRED A TOTAL OF 4 TIMES IN ABOUT 8 MONTHS. I HAD TO TRADE THE CAR IN BECAUSE IT WAS BECOMING TOO UNSAFE TO DRIVE. *TR

I HAVE A 2008 FORD EDGE SEL THAT BEGINNING LAST YEAR STARTED HESITATING BETWEEN 1ST AND 2ND GEARS AND 1500-2000 RPM'S. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE COMPUTER FOR THE TRANSMISSION UPDATED AND IT DIDN'T FIX THE ISSUE. THE DEALERSHIP CAN'T SEEM TO FIGURE OUT THE EXACT PROBLEM. BUT THERE ARE A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE REPORTING THIS ONLINE AS WELL. FORD NEEDS TO PUT A RECALL OUT SO THAT CONSUMERS LIKE ME CAN HAVE THIS ISSUE FIXED. THE CAR ALSO BANGS WHEN PUT INTO REVERSE. PLEASE HELP! *TR

WRENCH LIGHT AND AIRBAG LIGHT ON, LOST ACCELERATION ON INCOMING TRAFFIC, VIOLENT JERK WHEN SWITCHING FROM DRIVE TO PARK AND VICE VERSA. MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ALL OVER THE INTERNET WITH SAME ISSUE. ACTS LIKE A TRANSMISSION ISSUE WHEN IT'S JUST FAULTY SENSOR TSS AND OR OSS SENSOR NEEDS REPLACEMENT TO FIX THE ISSUE. *TR

TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO BE A ISSUE WITH THE FORD EDGE. WHY HAS THERE NOT BEEN A RECALL ON THIS PRODUCT? SO MANY COMPLAINTS ON THE FORD EDGE TRANSMISSION. I WITNESS THIS FIRST HAND, MAY 2, 2014. WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGH WAY, MY CAR OUT OF KNOW WHERE SEEM TO HAVE LOST POWER. THE ONLY THING THAT WAS MOVING WAS THE RPM, BUT THE CAR WAS SLOWING DOWN. FINALLY AFTER PULLING TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY, AND TURNING THE CAR OFF, IT RESET SOME HOW AND AT LEAST GOT ME TO WORK. I HAD TO GET THE CAR TOWED FROM WORK BACK HOME BECAUSE I DID NOT WANT TO RUN INTO THE SAME ISSUE. I DID RESEARCH AND SEEMS LIKE I HAVE NOT BEEN THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS ISSUE. MATTER OF FACT THERE IS A LONG LIST ON YOU TUBE. WHAT HAS FORD DONE TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE....

ON DEC 6, 2013,WHEN STARTING THE CAR AFTER SITTING FOR<3 HOURS THEN SHIFTING THE CAR INTO GEAR THE CAR ACTS LIKE IT IS NOT IN GEAR, RACES THE ENGINE AND THE SPEEDOMETER SHOWS A SPEED UNRELATED TO ACTUAL MOVEMENT. THERE IS SLOW MOVEMENT BUT NO ACTUAL GEAR ENGAGEMENT. CAR WAS TAKEN TO LOCAL FORD DEALER WHO SPENT SEVERAL DAYS TO REPAIR THE TRANSMISSION. ONE APRIL 20 THE SAME EPISODE OCCURRED BUT THIS TIME I WAS PULLING INTO TRAFFIC WHICH COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. THE SAME SYMPTOMS OCCURRED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE AT A COMPLETE STOP, THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR, THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM, AND AIR BAG WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE LOST ACCELERATION POWER AND FAILED TO SHIFT GEARS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 72,000.

2008 FORD EDGE. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO POWER TRAIN MALFUNCTION. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED TWICE THIS YEAR, SHE EXPERIENCED POWER TRAIN MALFUNCTION, WHERE THE VEHICLE LOST POWER. *JB

THE CAR SEEMS TO RUN FINE IN TOWN. IF IT IS DRIVEN ABOUT 20 MILES OR SO ON THE HIGHWAY, IT DEVELOPS THE FOLLOWING DRIVE TRAIN PROBLEM. WHEN THE VEHICLE SLOWS OR COMES TO A STOP AND THE DRIVER THEN ACCELERATES, SUCH AS WHEN DRIVING IN STOP-AND-GO TRAFFIC ON THE FREEWAY OR LEAVING A STOP LIGHT, IT SEEMS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION AND ENGINE QUIT TALKING TO EACH OTHER AND THEY COME UNCOUPLED DURING SHIFTING. SINCE THE GAS PEDAL IS DEPRESSED FOR ACCELERATING, DURING THE SHIFT, THE ENGINE RPM REVS UP TO PERHAPS 3000 AND THEN THE TRANSMISSION ABRUPTLY SHIFTS RESULTING IN A HEAVY SHOCK TO THE DRIVE LINE. IT DOES THIS BETWEEN EACH GEAR DURING ACCELERATION UPSHIFTING. IF THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED AND THE TRANSMISSION IS SHIFTED INTO REVERSE, THERE IS A DELAY AND THEN IT SHIFTS INTO REVERSE RESULTING IN A SIMILAR HEAVY SHOCK. I HAD SEVERAL OCCURRENCES WHERE...

MY WIFE AND I WERE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ON. AT RANDOM THE CARE KICKED OUT ON CRUISE AND THE SPEEDOMETER WAS NOT WORKING, WE ALSO HAD TIRE PRESSURE WARNING, ENGINE SERVICE WARNING, AIR BAG WARNING AND NO ODOMETER. WE MADE IT TO THE FREEWAY EXIST, HOWEVER WHEN WE WENT TO ACCELERATE THE CAR BARELY MOVED. THE ENGINE WOULD REV AT HIGH RPM'S BUT WOULD JUST CRAWL. WE MADE IT TO OUR HOUSE (BARELY) AND PARKED THE CAR. THE SHIFT INTO PARK WAS VERY VIOLENT AND MADE THE CARE JUMP. WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE I WOULD SHIFT FROM P TO N, THEN N TO R, THEN R TO D AND SAME ORDER BACK TO PARK. EACH CHANGE WAS VERY VIOLENT. I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF, LET IT SIT FOR ABOUT 1 MINUTE, TURNED THE CAR BACK ON AND THE WARNING LIGHTS WERE GONE AND...

AFTER STARTING CAR, VEHICLE MADE LOUD CLUNK SOUND WHEN PUT IN REVERSE. CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WITHOUT PRESSING ACCELERATOR MORE THAN USUAL AND ENGINE REVVED HIGH. DASH BOARD WENT BLANK EXCEPT FOR WRENCH SYMBOL, AIRBAG SYMBOL AND ODOMETER HAD ALL DASHES. TURNED CAR OFF, WAITED A FEW MINUTES, TURNED CAR BACK ON AND EVERYTHING WAS BACK TO NORMAL, CAR DROVE FINE. THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 5 TIMES WITHIN THE PAST 3 YEARS, SEVERAL MONTHS APART. HAVE ALSO HAD TO REPLACE REAR TAIL LIGHTS MULTIPLE TIMES, SOMETIMES WITHIN 2 DAYS OF REPLACEMENT. HAVE TAKEN CAR TO FORD SERVICE, BUT THEY CAN'T PINPOINT PROBLEM. NOW CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY. SEEMS LIKE IT COULD BE ELECTRICAL OR SENSORS. HAVE READ AND SEEN VIDEOS OF MANY OTHERS WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL. WISH FORD WOULD HELP OWNERS LIKE OURSELVES WITH A RECALL TO FIX THIS, AS OUR LOYALTY...

ON THE WAY HOME FROM A VACATION, WE PULLED INTO A FAST FOOD RESTAURANT TO GET A QUICK BITE TO EAT. UPON LEAVING THE RESTAURANT, WE STARTED THE VEHICLE AND EVERYTHING SEEMED NORMAL. ABOUT THREE MINUTES INTO OUR DRIVE HOME, THE DASH LIGHTS CAME ON (SPECIFICALLY THE WRENCH AND AIR BAG LIGHTS) AND THE VEHICLE LOST ALL THROTTLE POWER. WE QUICKLY PULLED OVER AND TURNED OFF THE CAR TO SEE IF WE COULD DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM OURSELVES. AFTER BEING UNSUCCESSFUL AT IDENTIFYING THE PROBLEM, WE STARTED THE CAR AGAIN AND ATTEMPTED TO PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE. THE TRANSMISSION PRODUCED A LOUD "CLUNKING" SOUND. EACH TIME YOU TRIED TO CHANGE GEARS (I.E. REVERSE TO DRIVE), THERE WOULD BE AN EXTREMELY HARSH ENGAGEMENT AND THE GEAR CHANGE WOULD BE ROUGH, EACH TIME PRODUCING A LOUD "CLUNK". I BROUGHT THE CAR TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHO ADVISED THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE...
