POWER TRAIN
MY 2007 EDGE STARTED TO EMIT A FOUL SMELL EVERY TIME I STEPPED ON THE BRAKES. IT WOULD SMELL LIKE SOMETHING WAS BURNING AND A COUPLE OF TIMES I PULLED OFF THE ROAD TO DOUBLE CHECK AND MAKE SURE THAT THE CAR WAS NOT ON FIRE. I TOOK THE CAR INTO A FORD DEALER TO HAVE THE FUEL TANK RECALL COMPETED SINCE THEY FINALLY CAME IN AND THEY NOTICED A LEAK IN THE PTU AND THAT IT WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED AND WOULD COST OVER $1350 TO BE REPLACED AND INSTALLED. THE PART ALONE IS OVER $800. FORD HAS HAD AT LEAST 3 SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THIS ISSUE AND STILL REFUSES TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR FIXING THIS SAFETY ISSUE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I WAS TRAVELLING WITH MY WIFE BEHIND ME AS AND SHE TEXT MY DAUGHTER THAT MY PASSENGER TAIL LIGHT WAS OUT BUT THE BRAKE LIGHT WAS WORKING. HOWEVER, WHEN I GOT HOME TO CHANGE THE BULB FOR THE MILLIONTH TIME ON EACH SIDE, BECAUSE I CHANGE BOTH AND NOT JUST ONE, I WENT TO PULL THE BULB OUT OF THE SOCKET AND IT WAS MELTED INTO THE SOCKET. THE BULB WAS HALF BLACKENED AND CHARRED ALL AROUND IT. I HAD TO PULL THE ENTIRE PLUGIN AND THEN WENT TO THE OTHER TAIL LIGHT TO DO THE SAME AND IT WAS ALSO CHARRED BLACK, BUT NOT YET MELTED INTO THE SOCKET. I HAVE FOUND OUT AFTER TONS OF RESEARCH THAT THIS IS NOT JUST ONE INSTANCE. THE BULB SHOULD HAVE BLOWN OR A FUSE SHOULD HAVE POPPED. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND COULD START A FIRE. THIS NEEDS ATTENTION TIME NOW! THE DEALERSHIPS WILL NOT HELP!

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET AND ON A STATE ROAD TRANSMISSION WILL ACT AND SOUND LIKE IT IS SLIPPING OR NOT ENGAGING IN GEAR AND SOMETIMES WILL ONLY WORK IN REVERSE.WHEN PROBLEM OCCURS VEHICLE WILL LOSE ALL POWER AND ENGINE WILL REV UP BUT VEHICLE WILL NOT MOVE. I HAVE HAD IT TOWED TO DEALER AND HAVE TAKEN IT IN TO DEALER, THEY SAY THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE THE PROBLEM. THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT WHEN IT HAPPENS I NEED TO PULL OVER SOMEWHERE SAFE AND SHUT THE CAR OFF AND LET THE "COMPUTER/ SENSORS " RESET AND THAT WILL "TAKE CARE" OF THE PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM IS GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE AS TIME GOES ON. I AM AFRAID IF THIS HAPPENS IN TRAFFIC SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET SERIOUSLY HURT OR KILLED AS THERE IS NO POWER TO GET OFF THE ROAD AND OUT OF TRAFFIC

ENGINE
MY CAR STARTED SPUTTERING ON FREEWAY ON CHRISTMAS NIGHT. SMELLED BURNING. HAD IT TOWED TO MY MECHANIC. HE INFORMED ME IGNITION COILS BURNED OUT. HE REPLACED THEM BUT CALLED TODAY AND INFORMED ME, CAR WILL RUN FINE AND THEN ONE OR MORE COILS WILL BURN OUT AGAIN CAUSING THE PROBLEM. HE LOOKED COMPLAINTS UP ONLINE AND FOUND HUNDREDS OF THEM AS I HAVE ALSO. WE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE BECAUSE THERE WERE SO MANY COMPLAINTS BUT NOTHING. (I FOUND OUT I HAD 2 OTHER RECALLS I NEVER GOT A NOTICE FOR.. GREAT)... READING THE COMPLAINTS BELOW FROM CUSTOMERS WHO HAS HAD THE EXACT PROBLEM IS WORRISOME BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE BUT STILL HAS DONE NOTHING TO FIX THIS. MY CAR IS STILL IN THE SHOP. IF THIS CAN ONLY BE FIXED AT THE DEALERSHIP AS DESCRIBED BY OTHER COMPLAINTS, I AM SCREWED AS THIS IS VERY COSTLY. FORD SHOULD BE REPLACING THIS AS THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE. I NEVER BOUGHT A FORD DUE TO THEIR REPUTATION AND I GAVE THEM A CHANCE. I SEE WHY NOW ... I ONLY HAVE 69,000 MILES ON IT....

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DIDN'T COME ON UNTIL AFTER THE CAR INITIALLY CUT OFF. I TRIED TO START THE CAR AGAIN ABOUT 20 MINUTES LATER AND IT WOULDN'T START AT ALL. FINALLY, AFTER A COUPLE OF HOURS THE CAR STARTED, BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS STILL ON.
