FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I NOTICED A SMELL OF GAS FOR TWO DAYS AFTER COMPLETELY FILLING MY GAS TANK THE LAST TIME. IT LASTED FOR 3 DAYS BEFORE I DECIDED TO TAKE IT IN TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT. I WAS THEN TOLD I HAVE TWO HOLES IN THE TOP OF MY GAS TANK AND IT WOULD BE AROUND $1800 TO BE REPLACED. ALTHOUGH, THAT ISN'T AN OPTION AT THE MOMENT BECAUSE THE REPLACEMENT TANKS ARE ON BACK ORDER SINCE THIS ISSUE IS OCCURRING SO FREQUENTLY AND THEY HAVE NO SPECIFIC DATE OF WHEN ONE WILL BE AVAILABLE. NOW I AM NERVOUS TO DRIVE MY CAR DUE TO CONCERN OF FIRE, BUT AM FACED WITH THE UNCERTAINTY OF HOW LONG I WILL BE WAITING UNTIL A GAS TANK BECOMES AVAILABLE. *TR

MY 16 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING TO SCHOOL. SHE WAS IN A 45 MILE PER HOUR ZONE. A CAR PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF HER SO SHE LET OFF OF THE GAS. WHEN SHE PUSHED ON THE GAS AGAIN HER CAR WOULD NOT GO. THE RPMS WENT WAY UP BUT THE CAR WOULDN'T GO. THE WRENCH (CHECK ENGINE LIGHT) CAME ON. SHE WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. SHE TURNED THE CAR OFF AND IT MADE ONE LOUD POP/PUFF NOISE. ONCE SHE TURNED THE CAR BACK ON IT WAS FINE. THIS HAS SINCE HAPPENED THREE MORE TIMES. WHEN I LOOKED ON THE INTERNET IT APPEARS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE FORD EDGE. THIS IS A HUGE CONCERN TO ME. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM AS THERE COULD BE SERIOUS ACCIDENTS AS A RESULT OF FORD'S NEGLIGENCE. THEY KNOW IT IS A PROBLEM, MAKE THEM FIX IT BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURED OR KILLED. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I WAS SMELLING FUEL EVERYTIME I WALKED AROUND MY CAR. I HAD MY BOYFRIEND LOOK AT IT AND HE SAID THAT THE SEALS ON THE FUEL TANK ARE CORRODED AND THAT I WOULD NEED A NEW FUEL TANK. AFTER CALLING FORD, WHICH CHOOSES NOT TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS, IT IS GOING TO COST CLOSE TO $2,700 TO HAVE IT REPLACED. I DRIVE MY CHILDREN AROUND IN THIS VEHICLE. FORD REFUSES TO LIST THIS AS A RECALL. WHY??? MOST PEOPLE WHO DRIVE THIS TYPE OF CAR, HAS A FAMILY OR CHILDREN. IT IS VERY SCARY TO THINK THAT MY CAR COULD POSSIBLY CATCH ON FIRE, OR WORSE. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2007 FORD EDGE SEL AWD. I HAVE HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE UNTIL THIS PAST THURSDAY (09/11/2014) WHEN I PUT $40.00 WORTH OF GAS IN IT WHEN IT WAS CLOSE TO EMPTY. AFTER PUTTING IN $40.00 WORTH OF GAS, IT GAVE ME A APPROXIMATELY 3/4 TANK OF GAS. I THEN PARKED IT AT MY PLACE OF WORK (NO INCLINE OF ANY SORT) AND STARTED TO SMELL GAS. THE TANK IS LEAKING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE UNDERNEATH. AFTER WORK, I DROVE HOME (MAYBE 10 MILES) AND HAVE NOT EVEN MOVED THE VEHICLE UNTIL TODAY (09/13/2014) AND ONLY HAVE 1/4 TANK OF GAS LEFT. NOT ONLY IS IT LEAKING GAS BUT THE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE WREAKS. I HAVE A 2 MONTH OLD CHILD WHO I AM AFRAID TO TAKE IN THE VEHICLE NOW BECAUSE THE SMELL IS SO STRONG. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED AS I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON WHO HAS COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS SITUATION. I SEE THAT 2008 FORD EDGE MODELS HAVE BEEN RECALLED DUE TO THE SAME PROBLEM. I REFUSE TO SPEND CLOSE TO $2000.00 TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THANK YOU. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
FOR SEVERAL DAYS PRIOR TO AND AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK, THERE WAS A STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE WHILE DRIVING, WHILE PARKED IN GARAGE AND WHILE PARKED IN LOT. DEALERSHIP NOTED THAT THE GAS TANK HAD COMPLETELY RUSTED AND WAS LEAKING AT THE SEAM. (ALTHOUGH I DO LIVE IN A NORTHERN STATE, THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN GARAGED DURING WINTER, WASHED APPROPRIATELY, WELL TAKEN CARE OF AND ROUTINE MAINTENANCE). THE DEALERSHIP CUSTOMER SERVICE AND FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE WERE EXTREMELY POOR. FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE STATED THAT THERE IS NO RECALL, THEREFORE THEY WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT- THIS WILL NOT BE THE FIRST REVIEW THAT YOU WILL READ ABOUT THIS EXACT SAME ISSUE. AFTER DOING MORE RESEARCH, THE 2007-2009 MODELS HAVE THE SAME FUEL TANK AND THE 2008 MODEL HAS BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS ISSUE. A 7 YEAR OLD CAR SHOULD NOT HAVE TO HAVE THE GAS TANK REPLACED, ESPECIALLY WHEN THIS IS NOTED AT THE SEAM. THIS MANUFACTURER DEFECT IS A SAFETY LIABILITY THAT FORD DOES NOT WANT TO CLAIM AND REFUSES TO PUT THE SAFETY OF IT'S CUSTOMERS ABOVE THE FINANCIAL BURDEN THIS WOULD CAUSE THEM. THE FUMES ALONE ARE TOXIC AND IF THERE WAS ANY TYPE OF SPARK ON THE ROADWAY, THIS COULD RESULT IN A FIRE, ACCIDENTS AND DEATH. IT'S SAD THAT AN AMERICAN COMPANY HAS SUCH POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE AND POOR SAFETY STANDARDS. THIS WILL BE THE LAST FORD VEHICLE THAT I WILL OWN. *TR

THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO OVERHEAT RAPIDLY AND THE AIR CONDITIONING BEGAN TO PUT OUT HOT AIR. I PULLED THE VEHICLE OFF OF THE ROAD AND TURNED EVERYTHING OFF. UPON COOLING DOWN, WATER WAS ADDED TO THE RADIATOR AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE MECHANIC. THE PROBLEM WAS AN INTERNAL WATER PUMP. THE WATER PUMP COST $1900 TO HAVE REPLACED. I CONTACTED FORD AND THEY SAID THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING, IT IS THE DESIGN AND HOW YOU HAVE TO ACCESS THE WATER PUMP. I PRICED (3) DIFFERENT DEALERS ON THE REPAIR AND THEY WERE ALL WITHIN A FEW DOLLARS OF EACH OTHER. THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN RELIABLE. *TR

I NOW HAVE 85K MILES ON THE VEHICLE AND AS OF 9/5/14, THE BRAKE BOOSTER HAS FAILED AGAIN. I HAVE CONTACTED FORD AND THEY SAY THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
STARTED SMELLING GASOLINE EVERY TIME MY CAR WAS IN THE GARAGE. SEEMED TO HAPPEN RIGHT AFTER I FILLED UP. RESEARCHED INTERNET FOR "2007 FORD EDGE FUEL SMELL" AND FOUND SEVERAL COMPLAINTS AND WHAT LOOKS LIKE A VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR (OEM FUEL TANK AVERAGES $1700 PLUS LABOR). TOOK CAR TO DEALER AND FOUND OUT THE FUEL TANK WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT IT WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. REQUESTING A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE DOOR AJAR SENSOR IS MALFUNCTIONING. THE DOOR IS CLEARLY SHUT, BUT THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT SHOWS ON DASH BOARD ALONG WITH THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAYING ON. THE MAIN CONCERN IS WHEN THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT / SENSOR IS MALFUNCTIONING, THE DOOR WILL NOT AUTOMATICALLY LOCK. EVEN IF YOU PUSH THE DOOR LOCK BUTTON, THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE, BECAUSE CHILDREN CAN OPEN THE DOOR OR A STRANGER CAN HOP IN THE CAR. SUPPOSEDLY THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH A LOT OF FORD'S, AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED OR RECALLED. *TR

POWER TRAIN, ENGINE
I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE AND NOTICED IT JERKING AND HESITATING TO ACCELERATE. THE ENGINE LIGHT BECAME BLINKING RAPIDLY AND I NOTICED A BURNING SMELL. I TOOK MY CAR TO A SHOP, WHO STATED THAT ONE OF THE COILS HAD MELTED AND CRACKED. THEY REPLACED THE COILS AND ALL SPARK PLUGS. PICKED MY VEHICLE UP AND STILL HAD THE SAME ISSUES, CONSTANT JERKING, ENGINE LIGHT STILL ON, AND STILL NOT WANTING TO ACCELERATE. TOOK VEHICLE BACK THE FOLLOWING DAY, SHOP STATED THE PCM WAS BAD AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I THEN CONTACTED A LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP, WHO CLAIMED THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF THIS ISSUE, AND I WOULD NEED TO PAY FOR THEM TO RUN THEIR OWN DIAGNOSTICS ON IT, EVEN THOUGH I WAS WELL AWARE OF WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT. AS OF RIGHT NOW THE CAR IS STILL NOT FIXED, AND RUNS HORRIBLY. I REFUSE TO SPEND ANYMORE MONEY ON A PROBLEM THAT FORD IS WELL AWARE OF!!! *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
I WAS DRIVING ON A LOCAL HIGHWAY WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON AND A MERGING TRUCK FORCED ME TO TAKE THE CAR OF CRUISE AND THE PEDAL WAS SO HARD I COULDN'T AT FIRST AND IM A 250 LB GUY WAS GLAD MY WIFE WAS NOT DRIVING. SINCE THEN IT HAS BECOME MUCH WORSE AND APPEARS THE BRAKE BOOSTER HAS FAILED. WITH VERY LITTLE RESEARCH THIS LOOKS LIKE AN ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL YEAR AND SEVERAL OTHERS. I TRAVEL HIGHWAY A LOT SO MY MILEAGE IS HIGHER THAN MOST OF THIS AGE AND MAY ALSO BE WHY IT DIDN'T SHOW EARLIER. THE BOOSTER LOSES PRESSURE FAST ENOUGH TO BE A REAL HAZARD TO DRIVE YOU HAVE TO STAND ON THE PEDAL TO GET YOUR BRAKES TO WORK. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR OFF THE ROAD TILL I CAN FIX IT CANT AFFORD FORDS REPAIR COSTS 580+ BUT SOME MAY TRY TO DRIVE IT AND THEY WILL GET IN AN ACCIDENT. *TR
