POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
2007 FORD EDGE HAS BEEN SHIFTING GEARS HEAVY (ESPECIALLY LOW) AND GETTING WORSE. LAST WEEK IT SHOULD HAVE DOWN SHIFTED TO 2ND BUT INSTEAD UP SHIFTED TO LIKE 4 OR 5TH GEAR AND I LOST ANY REAL POWER TO GET UP THE HILL. THE NOISE ITSELF WAS A VERY NOTICEABLE BANG AND SHUDDER. THIS IS APPARENTLY HAPPENING TO OTHER BECAUSE THERE'S YOUTUBE VIDEOS OF THE EXACT SAME THING. *TR

POWER TRAIN
I WAS TRAVELING ON 95 NORTH IN S. CAROLINA WHEN MY CAR JERKED AND EVERYONE LURCHED FORWARD IN THE VEHICLE AS IF WE HAD TRAVELED OVER A SPEED BUMP OR SOMETHING LARGE IN THE ROAD. IT WAS MID DAY AND NOTHING WAS IN THE ROAD. WE CONTINUED TRAVELING AND ABOUT 30 MILES IT HAPPENED AGAIN AND WE REALIZED IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION. WE WERE FORTUNATE TO MAKE IT HOME AND TOOK IT TO OUR MECHANIC. HE SAW NO VISUAL SIGNS OF TROUBLE SUCH AS LEAKAGE, WARNING LIGHTS OR CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS EVEN DURING THE TEST DRIVE SO HE DID AN INTERNET SEARCH AND FOUND THAT FORD SUGGEST RUNNING TRANSMISSION FLUID THROUGH, DRAINING AND REPEATING. HE DID THIS. WE HAD TO TRAVEL OUT OF STATE AGAIN THE NEXT MONTH AND THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED ON THE HIGHWAY. I'M SO CONCERNED FOR MY FAMILY AND I'M NOW READING ON THE INTERNET THAT THIS IS NOT JUST A RANDOM ISSUE AND PEOPLE ARE PLEADING FOR A SAFETY RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE IS HURT OR KILLED DUE TO THE MULTIPLE TRANSMISSION ISSUES THAT ARE AFFECTING SO MANY OF THESE VEHICLES. WE NEED HELP, WHAT DOES IT HAVE TO TAKE? *TR

WENT FROM REVERSE TO FORWARD, ACTED LIKE THERE WERE NO LOWER GEARS. WAS ABLE TO LIMP HOME ABOUT 1 MILE. PUT IT INTO REVERSE, LOUD BANG, SHOOK ENTIRE CAR, BACKED INTO CAR PORT, SHUTOFF CAR, THEN NO RESTART. MASSIVE AMOUNT OF OBD CODES, HAD MECHANIC REMOVE TRANSMISSION, TORQUE CONVERTER FAILURE AND THRUST BEARING DESTROYED, I FEEL VERY LUCKY THAT TRANSMISSION DIDN'T FAIL ON HIGHWAY CAUSING ME TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT ON MY WAY TO WORK AS A CHILDRENS SWIM INSTRUCTOR. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
TAIL LIGHT BLINKERS ARE MELTING INTO THE SOCKETS. I HAVE TO REPLACE THE BULBS ONCE A YEAR BECAUSE THEY BLOW, I WAS ALSO TOLD BY A MECHANIC THAT THE REASON MY SPEAKER BLEW ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE CAR WAS DO TO EXTRA ELECTRICAL POWER. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WILL NOT TURN OFF. THE DOOR AJAR INDICATOR REMAINS ON EVEN THOUGH THE DOORS HAVE BEEN FIRMLY CLOSED CAUSING THE INTERIOR LIGHTS TO REMAIN ON. AT FIRST I WAS ABLE TO SLAM THE DOOR SHUT UNTIL IT WOULD TRIGGER THE LIGHTS TO TURN OFF. THEN, I HAD TO USE WD-40 AND AFTER 3 DAYS OF DOING THIS EVERY TIME I ENTERED OR EXITED THE VEHICLE, THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WOULD REMAIN ON. MOST RECENTLY, MY CAR BATTERY DIED BECAUSE OF THE INTERIOR LIGHTS NEVER TURNING OFF. I SLAMMED MY DOOR SHUT FOR OVER AN HOUR TRYING TO GET THE LIGHTS TO TURN OFF AND NOTHING WORKED. MY BATTERY HAS DIED 3 TIMES NOW DUE TO THE INTERIOR LIGHTS NOT SHUTTING OFF EVEN THOUGH ALL THE DOORS WERE FIRMLY SHUT. ONCE WAS AT WORK, I DIDN'T HAVE THE TIME TO KEEP SLAMMING MY DOOR FOR IT TO TURN OFF. FINALLY I TOOK IT TO A FORD DEALERSHIP WHO TOLD ME IT WOULD COST APPROX. $400 TO FIX THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEM AND THE FORD EDGES ARE KNOWN TO HAVE THIS DEFECT. THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM AND AFTER RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM ONLINE IT APPEARS TO HAPPEN QUITE FREQUENTLY WITH THIS VEHICLE. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED AND NOT AT THE OWNER'S EXPENSE! *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I BOUGHT THIS 2007 FORD EDGE NEW AND IT HAS BEEN KEPT IN A GARAGE THE ENTIRE TIME I HAVE OWNED IT. I NOTICED A SMELL OF GASOLINE WHILE IT WAS IN THE GARAGE AND TOOK IT TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT. WE FOUND A 2 INCH RUSTED HOLE IN THE TOP OF THE GAS TANK. FORD CLAIMS NO OTHER SIMILAR PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN REPORTED AND HAS REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. ALTHOUGH I HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS FORUMS FROM PEOPLE THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A MANUFACTURE DEFECT AND A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE DRIVING DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND FELT A LOT OF RESISTANCE WITHOUT MUCH BRAKING. AFTER A SECOND OR THREE THE PEDAL STARTED TO PLUNGE TO THE FLOOR APPLYING THE BRAKES WITH GREAT FORCE. TOOK TO LOCAL DEALER WHERE THEY REPLACED THE MASTER BRAKE BOOSTER. THIS WAS AT 61000 AND WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. JUST TODAY APRIL 15, 2014 IT HAPPENED AGAIN. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND RECEIVED THE SAME PROGNOSIS, THE MASTER BRAKE BOOSTER IS BAD. THE CAR CURRENTLY HAS 120000 ON IT, KIND OF ODD THAT IT WAS NEARLY THE SAME DURATION FOR THE SECOND ONE TO GO BAD. THIS TIME THE COST IS NEARLY DOUBLE THAT OF LAST TIME. THIS IS ULTIMATELY A VERY DANGEROUS DEFECT AS IT QUICKLY HAPPENS AND YOU MAY NOT STOP IN TIME TO AVOID COLLISION. *TT

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS THE VEHICLE WILL SHIFT VERY HARD, FEELS LIKE SOMEONE REAR ENDING ME. THE TRANSMISSION FEELS LIKE IT HAS A HARD TIME GETTING INTO GEAR. AT HIGH SPEEDS THE SAME THING HAPPENS BUT USUALLY ON HOT DAYS. THE TRANSMISSION FINALLY GAVE OUT AT 75000 DUE TO THE HARD SLAMMING AND HAD TO BE REBUILT. I WAS LEAVING A DRIVEWAY AND WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE, PUTTING ME AT RISK OF BEING HIT FROM BEHIND. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN DISASTROUS AT HIGH SPEEDS. AT 78000 MILES I AM STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM, I TURN THE VEHICLE ON THE TRANSMISSION SLAMS INTO R AND THEN I CANNOT ACCELERATE PAST 10 MPH. I TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTART IT, AND IT SEEMS LIKE NOTHING EVERY HAPPENED. THIS HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS COME ONE ONLY EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE IT IS HAPPENING. WORRIED ABOUT ME AND MY BABIES SAFETY WHILE DRIVING. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
STRONG FUEL ODOR PRESENT INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. AFTER FUELING NOTICED A STEADY DRIP FROM FUEL TANK. BROUGHT VEHICLE TO PRIVATE MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AS IT SHOWED EVIDENCE OF CORROSION ON THE TOP OF THE TANK. FORD HAS BEEN NOTIFIED AND WILL NOT ASSIST WITH REPAIR NOR WILL THEY ADMIT IT IS A DESIGN DEFECT OR ACKNOWLEDGE OTHER COMPLAINTS FOR FAULTY FUEL TANKS. IT IS NOT NORMAL FOR A FUEL TANK TO ROT ON A 6 YEAR OLD VEHICLE.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I WOKE UP TO MY HOUSE SMELLING OF GAS, AFTER TAKING IT TO A SHOP, I WAS TOLD THERE WAS A CRACK IN THE TOP OF THE TANK. IT TOOK 3 DAYS TO GET IT BACK, WHEN I PICKED IT UP, I WAS TOLD TO FILL IT UP WITH GAS, THEN IT WAS LEAKING GAS REAL BAD, STEADY DRIP. I TOOK IT RIGHT BACK TO THE SHOP WHERE THEY KEPT OVER THE WEEKEND, SAID IT WAS RUSTED VERY BAD, IT HAS A COUPLE RUST SPOTS THAT GAVE WAY WHEN I PUT GAS IN IT. SAID IT NEEDS A NEW TANK, AND FOR SUCH A NEW CAR, IT SHOULD NOT BE THIS BAD. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I WAS JUST DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND HEARD A LOUD NOISE AND DAYS LATER STARTED SMELLING GAS AND LOOKED UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE ONLY TO DISCOVER THAT THE GAS TANK SPLIT AND STARTED LEAKING.....CONTACTED FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND THEY REFUSE TO FIX IT OR RECALL IT. I CAN'T AFFORD TO GET A NEW TANK THAT COST $2,300 AND FORD RECALLED THE 2008 MODELS FOR THIS REASON BUT REFUSED TO RECALL THE 2007 MODELS....I AM VERY ANGRY BECAUSE AS IT IS I AM GETTING ABOUT 10 MILE TO THE GALLON ON GAS AND ONLY ABLE TO PUT ABOUT 4 GALLONS IN THE TANK AT A TIME AND DRIVE AROUND EVERY DAY WORRYING IF I WOULD EVER GET INTO AN ACCIDENT GOD FORBID I WOULD MAYBE BLOW UP BECAUSE OF THE LEAKING GAS TANK ON THIS VEHICLE... *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, POWER TRAIN
WE NOTICED AN OIL LIKE SUBSTANCE LEAKING FROM UNDERNEATH THE FRONT END OF THE CAR. WE TOOK IT TO A FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD US IT WAS THE TRANSFER CASE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. NOT ONLY IS IT A $1500 REPAIR BUT IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM HAPPENING TO FORD EDGE'S YEARS 2007 - 2011. SOUNDS TO ME LIKE A RECALL SHOULD BE MADE ON THIS PART. WE CAUGHT OURS EARLY, SO NOT SURE WHAT COULD'VE HAPPENED IF WE CONTINUED TO DRIVE OURS AROUND. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
AFTER PULLING OUT ONTO A HIGHWAY, MY CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THE ENGINE DIDN'T STOP BUT PRESSING GAS DID NOT HELP. WAS FORCED TO COAST TO SIDE, CAR SHUDDERED, THEN STALLED. AFTER WAITING A FEW, CAR STARTED. WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT A MILE TO A NEARBY REPAIR SHOP. WE WERE CALLED AND ADVISED IT WAS A TRANSMISSION ISSUE AND DUE TO MILES ON THE CAR, IT SHOULD BE TOWED TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP (UNDER WARRANTY). FORD SERVICE COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE ISSUE. WE WERE TOLD NOTHING WAS WRONG & TO PICK IT UP. PRIOR TO PICKING UP, WE FOUND A TSB THAT DESCRIBED WHAT WE HAD BUT WERE TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG. MAY 2013, CAR DID SAME BUT THIS TIME, THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. TOWED (TO ANOTHER FORD SERVICE DEALER),& ISSUE WAS FOUND. REPAIR MADE. NOT SURPRISINGLY, ISSUE WAS SAME TSB WE PULLED IN 2011. 7 MONTHS LATER, CAR SHUDDERED, & STALLED AGAIN. ONLY DIFFERENCE WITH THIS OCCURRENCE IS NOW THE ENGINE DIED. TOWED BACK TO DEALER. WAS INFORMED IT WAS THE PCM OR MAIN COMPUTER WHICH CAUSED THE IGNITION COILS TO BURN UP. SO, IN SHORT, OWNING THIS CAR FOR 2 YEARS, HAVING TOWED 3 TIMES FOR THE SAME ISSUE, ALL IN 3 EXTREMELY UNSAFE CONDITIONS, HAS LEFT ME WITH NO CHOICE BUT TO FILE A COMPLAINT. THIS COMPUTER SOFTWARE ISSUE IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AND BASED ON OTHER COMMENTS FOUND ONLINE, FORD IS NOT WILLING TO TAKE NECESSARY PRECAUTIONS TO PREVENT WHAT COULD BE A SADDENING FATAL SITUATION. THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT FORD IS NOT COOPERATIVE IN RESOLVING THE PROBLEM. IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE YET NO RECALL HAS BEEN MADE. SO HEARTBREAKING TO SEE SO MANY THAT HAVE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM AS ME AND KNOW THAT NOTHING IS BEING DONE. I AM PAYING FOR THIS REPAIR BUT WILL TURN AROUND AND SELL THE CAR. WON'T BE MY DEATH! NEVER WILL I PURCHASE A FORD VEHICLE. THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY IS MY UTMOST CONCERN AND SHOULD ALSO BE FORD'S BUT APPARENTLY IS NOT. THANK YOU. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
STRONG GAS SMELL WHEN FUEL TANK IS FILLED ABOVE 3/4 MARK. MECHANIC INVESTIGATION INDICATES THAT THE FUEL TANK HAS HOLES ON THE TOP SIDE OF THE TANK, AND SAYS THAT THE TANK NEEDS TO BE REPLACED BEFORE IT BEGINS TO LEAK. I WAS QUOTED $1540 FOR PARTS, AND $505 LABOR ($2045) TO REPLACE THE TANK. THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS. WHY DOES THE FUEL TANK ON A 6 YEAR OLD VEHICLE DETERIORATE ON THE TOP? *TR

POWER TRAIN, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
GAS TANK SEAL CORRODED. MECHANIC WAS INSPECTING CAR WHEN HE FOUND THAT BESIDES THE TRANSMISSION TRANSFER CASE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, THE GAS TANK WAS LEAKING GAS. IT APPEARS THE SEAL IS CORRODED. I WAS TOLD THAT THE NEW TANK WAS APPROXIMATELY 1500. (JUST THE PART) AND ABOUT 600. IN LABOR. I FEEL THAT THIS SHOULD BE REPAIRED FREE OF CHARGE BY FORD, THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN ON A VEHICLE THAT IS ONLY 6 YEARS OLD. I CAN ONLY PUT ABOUT 5 GALLONS OF GAS IN, NOT TO EXCEED JUST UNDER THE HALF TANK MARK. ALSO, CANNOT PARK CAR ON ANYTHING BUT A LEVEL SURFACE. *TR
