WHEN I WAS DRIVING TO WORK ALL OF A SUDDEN MY AIRBAG AND WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AND I HAVE NO SPEEDOMETER OR TACHOMETER READING. IF I PULLED OVER AND STARTING DRIVING AGAIN I HAD VERY LITTLE PICKUP EVEN THOUGH THE RPMS WERE OVER 2,000. THERE IS ALSO A VERY LOUD CLUNK WHEN YOU PUT IT IN DRIVE OR REVERSE.

ON APPROXIMATELY 7/6/2016, WHILE IN MOTION, TRAVELING NORTH ON RIVERSIDE DRIVE -I-55 NORTH, ON THE 2-LANE OVERPASS AT I-55 & MCLEMORE, 18 WHEELER WAS TO THE RIGHT AND I WAS BEHIND ANOTHER MOTORIST IN LINE AND TRAVELING ABOUT 70 MPH WITH A LINE OF VEHICLES BEHIND, IT WAS AFTER WORK RUSH HOUR 4:45PM; WHEN AS I AM DRIVING THE VEHICLE SPUTTERS, SEEMED TO IT LOSE POWER, DECELERATES IN THE MIDDLE OF ON GOING TRAFFIC. THE ENGINE LIGHT FLASHED AND THEN STAYED ILLUMINATED, I COULD NOT ACCELERATE IN ORDER GET OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AND TRAFFIC WAS AT A VERY FAST FLOW. MY SYNC SYSTEM SURGED, A-C STOPPED BLOWING COLD AIR, THE VEHICLE STARTED "MISSING" BUT THE VEHICLE DID NOT SHUT OFF. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO ADVANCE AUTO PARTS STORE AND WAS TOLD THAT I HAD A MISFIRE IN 3 OF THE IGNITION COILS, BOUGHT REPLACEMENT COILS AND HAD ALL 6 OF THEM REPLACED. START THE VEHICLE AND THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS CLEARED BUT CAME RIGHT BACK, THE VEHICLE IS STILL MISS FIRING ON THE EXACT SAME COILS THIS TIME ALONG WITH THE PCM. OUT OF HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS AT THE MOMENT AND IT LOOKS LIKE I WILL BE OUT OF $3000 TO FORD FOR AN ISSUE THAT THEY KNOW IS FAULTY WITHIN THE DESIGN OF THE COMPUTER. WE'VE ALREADY PAID $30,000 FOR THE VEHICLE, WHY WOULD FORD NOT RECALL AND REPAIR THESE ISSUES IF THEY ARE AWARE OF IT????

WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY ROAD THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE WHEN GIVEN GAS. MULTIPLE LIGHTS WENT ON THE DASH BOARD. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION BECAUSE THE CAR LITERALLY JUST STOPPED ACCELERATING WHILE IN MOTION. MECHANIC DIAGNOSED PROBLEM AS A FAULTY OUTPUT SPEED SENSOR IN THE TRANSMISSION. THIS IS AN ON GOING ISSUE THAT MANY FORD EDGE OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING BUT FORD IS NOT ACKNOWLEDGING THE PROBLEM. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL AS THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE. I SHOULD ALSO BE REIMBURSED BY FORD FOR THE REPAIR.

I HAVE A 2008 FORD EDGE. I HAVE BEEN PUTTING UP WITH MANY ISSUES UNTIL THE LAST ONE I EXPERIENCED LAST YEAR. MY USUAL PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN WHEN ON AN INCLINE & TRYING TO GO FORWARD, THE CAR WILL GO BACKWARDS CAUSING YOU TO HAVE YOUR FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND THE GAS AT THE SAME TIME SO YOU WILL NOT HIT THE CAR BEHIND YOU. ALSO THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS VERY HARD. WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE WILL JERK FOR NO APPARENT REASON. BUT THE LAST PROBLEM THAT CAUSED ME TO PARK THE VEHICLE WAS WHEN IT JUST STOPPED ACCELERATING IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. I WAS FORTUNATE TO BE ABLE TO COAST TO A NEARBY PARKING LOT. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE NOW. I CANNOT AFFORD TO TAKE IT TO A DEALERSHIP TO HAVE REPAIRS RIGHT NOW.

IN AUGUST 2015 MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT 45 MPH ON A FOUR LANE ROAD WHEN THE VEHICLE CAME TO A SUDDEN CRAWL APPROX .10 MPH. THIS WAS ON A CITY STREET.SHE COULD BARELY GET OFF THE ROAD WITH LIMITED POWER. SHE CALLED ME TO COME TO THE SCENE AND WE HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED TO OUR MECHANIC. AT THE TIME, THE VEHICLE HAD 61,000 MILES ON IT. THE MECHANIC CALLED AND STATED THE PROBLEM CODE SHOWED IT WAS THE OUTPUT SPEED SENSOR (OSS) AND IT WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED ALONG WITH THE FLUID. UPON PICKING UP THE VEHICLE, IT WAS REPAIRED PROPERLY AND WAS BACK TO NORMAL. IT WAS REPAIRED BY A ASE MASTER MECHANIC. THE DELAY IN REPORTING THIS INCIDENT IS TWO FOLD. SINCE THE AUGUST 2015 INCIDENT, I HAVE SINCE DISCOVERED CHECKING ON-LINE THERE ARE NUMEROUS CASES OF THE 2007 & 2008 FORD EDGE DOING THIS. RECENTLY, I PARKED NEXT TO A LADY LOADING HER GROCERIES IN A 2008 FORD EDGE. WHEN I ASKED HER HOW SHE LIKED HER EDGE, YOU GUESSED IT, THEY WERE ON A FAMILY TRIP WHEN THE OSS WENT OUT ON HERS. SHE STATED HERS WAS FIXED UNDER WARRANTY . MY REPAIR COST $370.00 WHICH WAS A FAIR PRICE. IT IS MY PERSONAL OPINION, FORD KNOWS THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE BUT THE FACTS ARE ENOUGH PEOPLE TO NOT COMPLAIN TO NHTSA AND THIS KEEPS FROM FORD HAVING TO ANNOUNCE A RECALL ON THE 2007 & 2008 FORD EDGE.

MY CHILD AND I WERE DRIVING DOWN A BUSY INTERSTATE, 1100 MILES FROM HOME. THE VEHICLE WAS SET ON CRUISE CONTROL AT 70 MPH. WITHOUT WARNING, THE CAR JERKED. WE HAD ITEMS THAT FELL INTO THE FLOORBOARD. I LOOKED AT MY GAUGES AND NOTICED THE CARS SPEEDOMETER HAD GONE TO ZERO. THE CAR BEGAN TO COAST EVEN THOUGH THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS STILL ON. THERE WAS A LOT OF TRAFFIC ON THE INTERSTATE COMING BEHIND US. AS I PUSHED THE GAS PETAL, THE CAR WOULD NOT GO. I STOPPED THE VEHICLE AND CALLED A FORD DEALER AND THEY HAD IT TOWED. THE NEXT DAY WE WERE TOLD THAT IT WAS A "CATASTROPHIC INTERNAL FAILURE IN THE TRANSMISSION" ALSO, THAT IT BLEW OUT SENSORS ECT.. I HAVE WRITTEN FORD MOTOR COMPANY REGARDING THIS ISSUE AND THEY STATE THAT THERE ARE NO WARRANTIES OR FIELD SERVICE ACTIONS BEING TAKEN AND THEY URGED ME TO CONTACT WITH THE FORD DEALER SERVICING THE VEHICLE WITH ANY DISCOUNT OR ISSUES. THE FORD EDGE HAS LESS THAN 100,000 MILES, AND I KNOW I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO. THIS IS A SERIOUS PUBLIC SAFETY HAZARD. IT COULD HAVE CAUSED US TO WRECK OR A TRUCK TO REAR END US AND SHOULD I HAVE CONTACTED THE FORD DEALER THEN? I BELIEVE AND INVESTIGATION SHOULD TAKE PLACE BEFORE SOMEONE DOES GETS HURT OR KILLED. AGAIN, THERE WAS NO WARNING BEFORE THIS HAPPENED. THE CAR IS REQUIRING A COMPLETE TRANSMISSION TO THE SUM OF $5,382.00. I WILL HAVE THE RECEIPT AS SOON AS IT'S REPAIRED. I CANNOT EXPLAIN A CAUSE OTHER THAN AN INTERNAL FAILURE, AS THE FORD SERVICE MAN QUOTED. THE CAR HAS 96,000 MILES. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE. PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE TO CONTACT ME REGARDING ANY QUESTIONS. SINCERELY, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

MY EDGE STARTED SLIPPING WHEN PLACED IN DRIVE SO I WOULD TURN IT OFF AND TURN IT ON UNTIL THE SLIPPING STOPPED AFTER I PLACED IT IN A GEAR. AFTER CHECKING FOR RECALLS I SAW SEVERAL OTHER OWNERS COMPLAIN ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE. THE ODOMETER SCREED DID SIMILAR CHECK AS OTHERS COMING UP WITH DASHES AND CYCLING AND CHECKING THROUGH PROCESSES. THE CAR WAS RECENTLY DRIVEN AND THE SAME SLIPPING HAPPENED BUT THIS TIME IT CAUSED INTERNAL DAMAGE TO THE TRANSMISSION. MOST OF THE COMPLAINTS I'VE READ ARE IN THE SAME MILEAGE RANGE.
