ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
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.

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
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.

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.

WHEELS
1. REAR WHEEL BEARINGS HUB ASSEMBLY , FAILURES.. RIGHT FAILED AT NEARLY 58K MILES. OF COURSE AFTER WARRANTY ! LEFT FAILED AT NEARLY 73K MILES. HOWLING SOUND BEING PRODUCED. IT IS COSTING LOT OF MONEY TO REPLACE THESE PARTS. NOT GOOD. I HAVE NEVER HAD A CAR IN THE LAST 40 YEARS WHERE THE WHEEL BEARING ASSEMBLIES HAVE FAILED. DEFECTIVE PARTS FORD IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM, SINCE THEY HAVE ISSUED A TECH SER.. BULLETIN ON 2/5/10. HERE IS AN EXCERPT: DRIVETRAIN - GROWL/HOWL FROM REAR HUB AREA TSB 10-2-9 02/15/10 NOISE FROM REAR WHEEL HUB BEARING - BUILT ON OR BEFORE 12/4/2008 FORD: 2007-2009 EDGE LINCOLN: 2007-2009 MKX THIS ARTICLE SUPERSEDES TSB 09-26-5 TO UPDATE THE PARTS LIST. ISSUE SOME 2007-2009 EDGE AND MKX VEHICLES BUILT ON OR BEFORE 12/4/2008 MAY EXHIBIT A GROWL OR HOWL TYPE NOISE COMING FROM THE LEFT AND/OR RIGHT REAR WHEEL AREA. THIS COULD BE THE RESULT OF A FAULTY REAR WHEEL HUB BEARING ASSEMBLY. ACTION FOLLOW THE SERVICE PROCEDURE STEPS TO CORRECT THE CONDITION. SERVICE PROCEDURE 1. IF WORKSHOP MANUAL (WSM) DIAGNOSTICS IDENTIFY A FAULTY REAR WHEEL HUB BEARING, IT WILL BE NECESSARY TO REPLACE THE REAR SUSPENSION TRAILING ARM/KNUCKLE ASSEMBLY ALONG WITH A NEW REAR WHEEL HUB ASSEMBLY. 2. REFER TO WSM, SECTION 204-02, FOR REAR WHEEL HUB BEARING AND TRAILING ARM/KNUCKLE REPLACEMENT. ONLY REPLACE THE REAR SUSPENSION TRAILING ARM/KNUCKLE ASSEMBLY AND REAR BEARING HUB ON THE SIDE WITH THE CONCERN. FAILING TO INSTALL A NEW REAR SUSPENSION TRAILING ARM/KNUCKLE ASSEMBLY WHEN INSTALLING A NEW REAR BEARING HUB ASSEMBLY WILL RESULT IN PREMATURE BEARING NOISE/WEAR. FORD NEEDS TO BE RESPONSIVE, ON DEFECTIVE PARTS. I CONTACTED THEM , 11/14 WHEN THE RIGHT FAILED, AND THEIR RESPONSE WAS: SORRY , YOU ARE OUT OF WARRANTY. THEY SHOULD HAVE ISSUED A RECALL IN 2010. WHEN WE WERE NOT OUT OF WARRANTY. POTENTIALLY, WHEELS CAN FREEZE UP.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS AS ANOTHER 2008 FORD EDGE DRIVER DESCRIBED ON THE COMPLAINT/INVESTIGATION PAGE. I AM ACTUALLY GOING TO COPY AND PASTE HER COMPLAINT. DRIVING STRAIGHT ON FREEWAY AT 60 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. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR, AND IT ALSO HAPPENED TO MY 17-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER LAST WEEK. MY HUSBAND HAD TO GO OUT AND DISCONNECT THE BATTERY TO SHE COULD SAFELY DRIVE BACK HOME. AND IT IS VERY RANDOM WHEN IT HAPPENS. I DRIVE HIGHWAYS AND COUNTY ROADS FOR WORK AND SOMETIMES THERE IS NOWHERE TO PULL OVER! I'M A NURSE AND A PARAMEDIC...I DONT WANT TO BE A PATIENT! IT HAS TO BE INVESTIGATED AND A FIX FOUND!!! I CAN'T AFFORD A NEW CAR. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE!! WHEN THE OTHER DRIVER TALKED ABOUT PUTTING INTO GEAR AFTER THE RESTART, THE VEHICLE LITERALLY LURCHES FORWARD OR BACKWARD!!! PLEASE HELP!
