EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I WAS PULLED OVER FOR HAVING A BURNT OUT TAIL LIGHT. (NO TICKET ISSUED) WHEN I GOT TO WORK I CHANGED THE BULB AND DISCOVERED THAT THE BULB WAS NOT BURNT OUT BUT HAD MELTED THE SOCKET ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE CAR. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION I REALIZED THAT BOTH TAIL LIGHTS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND THE BULBS HAD ALSO BEEN MELTING THE INTERIOR RED PART OF THE TAIL LIGHT. THERE IS NOW AN AREA OF THE LIGHTS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE CAR THAT HAVE WHITE LIGHT SHINING THROUGH THE LENS INSTEAD OF RED. THE DESIGN OF THE LIGHT HAS THE BULB TOO CLOSE TO THE LENS AND THERE ISN'T ENOUGH ROOM TO DISSIPATE HEAT FROM THE BULB CAUSING THE LENS TO MELT AND THE SOCKET TO MELT. I HAVE BEEN ON THE FORD EDGE FORUM AND THERE SEEM TO BE AN ALARMING NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME THING. THIS IS AN OBVIOUS SAFETY DEFECT THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY FORD. *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WILL NOT UNLOCK WITH NEITHER THE UNLOCK BUTTON ON DRIVER DOOR NOR THE PUSH BUTTON ON MY KEY FOB. ALL OTHER DOORS WILL LOCK. WHEN MY SON HAS A SEIZURE NEXT TO ME AND I PULL OVER TO ASSIST, I CANNOT GET HIM OUT OF THE DOOR. HE IS UNABLE TO UNLOCK THE DOOR HIMSELF OF COURSE. WHILE HE IS HAVING A SEIZURE I HAVE TO TRY TO PULL HIM OUT WHILE HE IS HAVING HIS SEIZURE THROUGH THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR TO ASSIST HIM. THIS GETS VERY DANGEROUS FOR SEVERAL REASONS. ESPECIALLY WHILE ON THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
FUEL TANK HAS SMALL RUST HOLES IN THE TOP WHICH CAUSES A STRONG FUEL SMELL. WE CAN ONLY FILL TANK HALF FULL TO TRY TO KEEP THE SMELL FROM BEING SO OVER WHELMING. FORD WANTS UP TO $2700.00 TO REPLACE FUEL TANK. THE FUEL TANK IS LOCATED VERY CLOSE TO THE EXHAUST PIPE. THAT CONCERNS ME A LOT. *TR

POWER TRAIN
I HAVE HAD AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THE WRENCH LOOKING LIGHT COMING ON THEN THE VEHICLE LOSES POWER. WHEN I PUSH THE GAS YOU HAVE TO PUSH THE GAS PEDAL ALL THE WAY DOWN TO GET IT TO CREEP TO GO TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I HAVE TO PULL OVER AND SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF WHEN IT RESTARTS THEN THE VEHICLE WILL GO. THIS LAST TIME THE VEHICLE GOT ME STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD FOR 2.5 HOURS UNTIL THE TOW TRUCK GOT THERE AND TOWED IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALER STARTED IT TWO DAYS LATE AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE. I HAD IT TO THE SHOP PREVIOUSLY TO TRY AND GET THIS DIAGNOSED AND THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. I HAVE READ HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS INVOLVING THE SAME THING. FORD SHOULD LOOK AT WHAT IS CAUSING THIS PROBLEM AND OPEN A CLAIM TO TAKE CARE OF THESE ISSUES. *TR

POWER TRAIN
CAR SAT UN-DRIVEN IN GARAGE FOR 9 DAYS. WHEN CAR WAS TAKEN OUT AND DRIVEN, THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE FORWARD. SPEED SHOWN CAR GOING 55 MILES AND HOUR BUT IT WAS NOT MOVING. PUT CAR IN REVERSE AND IT WOULD MOVE. PUT CAR IN DRIVE AND LOW GEARS AND CAR WOULD MOVE FORWARD VERY SLOWLY. CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. DEALERSHIP STATED ONLY FIX WAS TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. MEANING A LOT OF MONEY HAD TO BE SPENT TO FIX THE CAR. THIS IS A VERY CLEAN CAR AND TAKEN IN FOR REGULAR TURN-UPS, WITH LOW MILES FOR THE AGE OF THE CAR. THERE WAS NO INDICATION OF ANYTHING BEING WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT. ACCORDING TO REPORTS, FORD HAS HAD MANY ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSIONS. FORD NEEDS TO TAKE THE STAND AND TAKE CARE OF THIS PROBLEM, BEFORE THERE AREA ANY FATALITIES. *TR

2007 EDGE SEL, ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AN "ODO DATA ERROR" APPEARED. THE "WRENCH AND AIRBAG" LIGHTS WERE LIT UP AS WELL. HARD CLUNK SHIFTING INTO DRIVE, CAR HAD NO POWER RAN RPM HIGHER STARTED TO SLOWLY ROLL. TURNED OFF CAR, UNCONNECTED BATTERY CABLE, CONNECTED BACK AND STARTED UP INSTRUMENT PANEL READ OUT WAS NOW CORRECT AND PUT INTO DRIVE AND IT DID A FEW HARD SHIFTS AS WE DROVE OUT, BUT RAN FINE ALL THE WAY HOME. I SEE MANY OTHERS STATING THIS SAME THING! I WILL TAKE THIS IN AGAIN AS I HAD ALREADY TAKEN FOR HARD SHIFTS, BUT THEY FOUND NOTHING. THIS TIME LOOKS LIKE OSS AND TSS FROM ALL THE READING I HAVE DONE ON THIS ISSUE. *TR

FUEL LEAKING FROM GAS TANK ON MY AWD 2007 FORD EDGE. STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE FUMES COMING FROM THE CAR. GOT IT CHECKED OUT, AND THE GAS TANK IS LEAKING WHERE THE TOP HALF OF THE TANK IS WELDED TO THE BOTTOM HALF OF THE TANK. SERVICE CENTER SAID TO KEEP THE TANK LESS THAN HALF FULL TO MINIMIZE GAS LEAKING FROM THE TANK. THE STRONG FUMES STILL CAUSE AN EXTREME HAZARD TO MY FAMILY. NO REPLACEMENT GAS TANK IS AVAILABLE IN THE ENTIRE UNITED STATES. NOW THIS CAR SITS MOTIONLESS IN MY DRIVEWAY. *TR

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN, I HAVE NOTICED NUMEROUS 2007 FORD EDGE OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE I HAD RECENTLY, LEAKING TRANSFER CASE PTU UNIT. I ALSO NOTICED THIS SAME ISSUE IS HAPPENING WITH LINCOLN'S AND MAZDA'S OF SAME MODEL TYPE. I BELIEVE MAZDA HAS OFFERED OWNERS SOME SORT OF COMPENSATION/RECALL/EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THIS MANUFACTURED DEFECT. MY QUESTION IS WHAT IS FORD GOING TO DO ABOUT THIS VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR THAT OWNERS HAVE TO PAY FOR THAT IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT? I DID HAVE IT REPLACED FOR A PRETTY PENNY AND NOW I HEAR A CLANKING NOISE WHEN I TURN THAT WAS NOT THERE BEFORE THE REPAIR. SINCERELY, VERY CONCERNED AND FRUSTRATED LOYAL CUSTOMER *TR

I STARTED OFF TO WORK, GOING ABOUT 10MPH PUSHED THE BRAKE FOR A STOP SIGN AND MY CAR JERKED FORWARD. WHEN TRYING TO LEAVE THE STOP SIGN MY CAR WAS SLUGGISH TO TAKE OFF AND THEN SHIFTED HARD, WOULDN'T GO OVER 30MPH, ENGINE REVVING HIGH AND LOUD. I PULLED OVER, TURNED OFF THE CAR AND WAITED.. I MADE IT TO WORK WITH A SLUGGISH CAR AND NO SPEED OVER 32MPH. TOOK TO THREE PLACES TO HAVE SCANNED AND EVERYWHERE SAYS THERE'S NOTHING WRONG/NO CODES SHOWING. LOCAL DEALERSHIP SAYS A MONTH BEFORE I CAN GET IN TO BE SCANNED THERE. AFTER SEARCHING I AM CONCERNED THAT THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL FOR 2007 FORD EDGE CONCERNING THE TRANSMISSION SOLENOID OR SENSORS?! THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND SEEM THAT IT COULD BE RATHER PRICEY SINCE PEOPLE HAVE TO DIG AROUND THE TRANSMISSION TO FIND THE ISSUE BECAUSE NO CODES ARE SHOWING.. I NEED THIS FIXED :( *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
GAS TANK IS RUSTING OUT ON TOP OF TANK AND ON SEAM. CONTACTED FORD AND WAS TOLD TO REPLACE TANK AT A COST OF 2800.00 DOLLARS JUST FOR TANK. I THINK THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE EXHAUST IS RIGHT BELOW THE TANK. HOW CAN A VEHICLE THAT IS 7 YEARS OLD BE RUSTING OUT A GAS TANK. I THINK FORD HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE I CAN'T EVEN LOCATE A USED TANK TO REPLACE IT WITH. HOW CAN THEY JUSTIFY A NEW TANK AT 2800.00. THEY SHOULD HAVE RECALLED TO REPLACE THESE TANKS, 07,08,09 AND SOME 2010 FORD EDGES ARE AFFECTED WITH THIS PROBLEM AND NOT JUST A COUPLE BUT PRACTICALLY EVERYONE SOLD! I REALLY LIKE MY EDGE BUT IF THEY WON'T STAND BEHIND THEIR VEHICLE OVER A SAFETY ISSUE THIS WILL BE THE LAST FORD I OWN. THANKS! *TR
