ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
2007 FORD EDGE LOOSES POWER. SPEEDOMETER GOES TO 0. EXCLAMATION MARK, AIR BAG AND TOOL LIGHT COMES ON. MOTOR REVS UP TO HIGH RPM. I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A SENSOR ISSUE WITH THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE. AND IT IS A VERY COMMON HAPPENING WITH THIS VEHICLE. WITH THE VEHICLE SHUTTING DOWN WITHOUT ANY INDICATION THAT IT IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN. THIS HAPPENS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AS WELL AS IN TOWN SPEEDS. I THINK FORD SHOULD INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE AND ISSUE A RECALL. THANK YOU *TR

POWER TRAIN
GENERALLY, SHORTLY AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE SOMETIMES I WOULD COME TO A STOP, AND WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO GO THE ENGINE WOULD REV BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. IT WAS LIKE IT WAS IN NEUTRAL, AND THERE IS AN ORANGE WRENCH THAT LIGHTS UP ON MY DASHBOARD. WHEN PLACING THE CAR BACK INTO PARK THERE WOULD BE A HARD SHIFT ON THE ENGINE. AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF FOR A FEW SECONDS AND RESTARTING, IT WOULD WORK LIKE NORMAL. IT DOES IT VERY SPORADICALLY, SOMETIMES ONCE EVERY COUPLE MONTHS SOMETIMES A COUPLE TIMES A WEEK. IT SEEMS VERY RANDOM. TODAY IT DID IT TO ME WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 40MPH. IT WAS THE FIRST TIME IT HAD DONE THIS WHILE I WAS DRIVING. WHEN IT HAPPENED THERE WAS A SPUTTER FROM THE ENGINE, LIKE A HARD SHIFT, AND THEN I NOTICED THE ORANGE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AND IT FELT LIKE IT WAS IN NEUTRAL. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO GET CHECKED BUT THE MECHANICS CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND THERE ARE NO ERROR CODES THAT COME UP. MY RESEARCH ONLINE SAYS THAT IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE POWER TRANSFER UNITS SEALS LEAKING, BUT I WOULD THINK THAT PROBLEM WOULD CAUSE THE CAR TO NOT WORK WHEN RESTARTED. NOT TO MENTION THE OTHER SYMPTOMS OF A LEAK, INCLUDING SMELL, ARE NOT PRESENT. THE OTHER SOLUTION COMMONLY MENTIONED IS REPLACING SENSORS, BUT THEN A LOT OF THOSE REVIEWS SAY THEY END UP REPLACING SO MANY SENSORS AND THEN IT STILL HAPPENS.

SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE DRIVING WITH MY CHILDREN I PRESSED THE BREAK TO STOP IN TRAFFIC AND ALMOST RAN INTO THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME BECAUSE MY BRAKES BECAME VERY HARD AND I HAD TO PRESS THEM DOWN TO THE GROUND PRACTICALLY TO STOP. TOOK VEHICLE TO A LOCAL SHOP AND WAS TOLD MY BRAKE BOOSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. WAS TOLD THERE HAVE BEEN ISSUES LIKE THIS WITH FORD MODELS IN THE PAST. AFTER BASIC INTERNET RESEARCH FOUND THERE WAS A RECALL FOR NEWER MODELS BUT NOT MY MODEL. CONTACTED FORD MOTOR COMPANY DIRECTLY AND WAS TOLD THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO FOR ME BECAUSE THERE ISN'T A RECALL ON MY YEAR, MAKE, MODEL EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE A NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO OTHER 2007 FORD EDGES NOT ONCE, BUT EVEN AFTER HAVING BOOSTER REPLACED. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT FORD IS NOT WILLING TO STEP UP AND MAKE RECALL FOR 2007 FORD EDGES WHEN IT IS CLEAR THERE ARE MULTIPLE PEOPLE ALL OVER THE COUNTRY THAT HAVE BEEN AFFECTED BY THIS. I AM THANKFUL I DID NOT GET INTO AN ACCIDENT WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE WITH ME AND AM GOING TO FIX MY VEHICLE BUT THINK IT IS FORD WHO SHOULD BE RECTIFYING THIS SITUATION, NOT MY OWN POCKET!

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
A WHEEL SPEED SENSOR FAILED (PER MY MECHANIC), CAUSING THE ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEMS TO MALFUNCTION. IT BECAME EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO STOP THE CAR, WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL PULSING AND TRAVELING NEARLY TO THE FLOORBOARD. I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO STOP THE CAR JUST BEFORE RUNNING A RED LIGHT BY STANDING ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE BRAKE PADS WERE AT ~50% PER A RECENT STATE INSPECTION. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN IN FEBRUARY 2015 WHEN ANOTHER WHEEL SPEED SENSOR FAILED WITH MY WIFE AND CHILDREN IN THE CAR WITH ME. I WAS ABLE TO TEMPORARILY RESOLVE THE ISSUE BY PULLING THE ABS FUSE TO DISABLE THE ABS SYSTEM. FORD'S R&M ENGINEERS MUST HAVE FORGOTTEN TO PERFORM A FAILURE MODE ANALYSIS ON THE EDGE'S ABS SYSTEM.

A FEW WEEKS AGO, I NOTICED THERE WAS A NOISE COMING FROM SOMEWHERE THAT SOUNDED LIKE A WHEEL BEARING, I TOOK IT TO A FEW PLACES TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT. THEY CAME UP WITH DIFFERENT THINGS, FINALLY I GOT TO THE RIGHT PLACE AND THEY FIGURED OUT THAT IT WAS THE PTU. THEY SAID THE SEAL HAD LEAKED ALL THE OIL OUT AND DESTROYED THE BEARINGS. YOU DON'T KNOW THE OIL IS LEAKING OUT AS IT GOES INTO THE EXHAUST AND EVAPORATES. THEY WERE ABLE TO FIND ME A USED ONE THAT THEY WENT THROUGH AND FOUND IT TO BE GOOD. COST WAS $1,800 TO REPLACE. AS I UNDERSTAND, FORD HAS COVERED UP THIS PROBLEM FOR MANY YEARS. I HAVE SEEN MANY SIMILAR PROBLEMS IN THE COMPLAINT SECTION FOR EDGES AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. I THINK FORD SHOULD BE MADE TO RE-IMBURST ALL COMPLAINTS WITH THIS PROBLEM. I AM ON A FIXED INCOME AN THIS UNEXPECTED EXPENSE KEPT US FROM OUR VACATION TO VISIT OUR FAMILY IN PENNSYLVANIA AND I AM VERY UPSET.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHILE DRIVING AT 40MPH OR GREATER, THE CAR IS SKIPPING, JERKING OR HESITATING. THIS STARTED TO HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING UP A SLIGHT INCLINE BUT NOW HAPPENS EVEN ON LEVEL ROAD AND HAPPENS SEVERAL TIMES DURING A 16 MILE DRIVE. SERVICE DEPARTMENT IS UNABLE TO PIN POINT THE ISSUE AND IT IS GETTING WORSE. THE OTHER DAY WHILE IT WAS HAPPENING AN ORANGE ENGINE EMISSION LIGHT WAS BLINKING. I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS FOR OVER A YEAR AND ALL THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT CAN SAY IS THAT IT IS A BAD ENGINE COIL BUT THEY DON'T KNOW WHICH ONE. FROM THE LOOKS OF OTHER FORMS, I AM NOT THE ONLY 2007 FORD EDGE OWNER THIS IS HAPPING TO AND IT SOUNDS LIKE IT IS AN EXPENSIVE FIX. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A PROBLEM WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL AND FORD NEEDS TO STEP UP AND RECALL IT.
