POWER TRAIN
DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD I NOTICED MY SPEED AT 0 MY ODOMETER AT 0...THOUGHT THAT WAS WEIRD. NOTICED WRENCH LIGHT, ENGINE LIGHT,AND AIRBAG LIGHT. CAME TO A STOP LIGHT AND STOPPED. UPON TAKEOFF WAS NEARLY REAR ENDED BECAUSE I WAS BARELY CREEPING.. RPMS STAYED AROUND 2K-3K..... PULLED IT INTO A PARKING LOT AND SWITCHED GEARS....LOUD CLANGS AND JERKS AS I'M SHIFTING. TURNED OFF CAR AND RESTARTED TO HAVE THE SAME LIGHTS AND SAME CLANKS AS I'M SHIFTING. I PULL OUT OF THE PARKING LOT SINCE I'M A MILE AWAY FROM HOME AND EVEN THOUGH I PULLED OUT WITH PLENTY OF TIME I WAS ALMOST TBONED. GOT IT HOME AND SHUT IT DOWN. I HAVE AROUND 255,000 MILES ON IT. OILS CHANGED. MAINTENANCE UPKEEP AND EVERYTHING. THIS ALL HAPPENED ON CITY STREETS, WHILE IN MOTION AND SITTING STILL. I SERIOUSLY DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW FORD IS ALLOWED TO OVERLOOK THIS AND NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING THESE VERY WELL KNOWN ISSUES THAT ARE A HAZARD TO DRIVERS....NOT JUST TO MYSELF BUT TO OTHERS AROUND ME AS WELL. THERE ARE WAY TOO MANY COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE FOR IT NOT TO BE TAKEN CARE OF. *TR

POWER TRAIN
FORD STATES THAT THE PTU HAS A LIFETIME OIL AND DOES NOT NEED CHANGED YET THE UNIT IS LOCATED SO CLOSE TO EXHAUST THAT THE OIL TURNS TO SLUDGE, THERE IS NO PLUG TO CHECK FLUID CONDITIONS THERE IS NO WAY TO FLUSH AND OR REFILL. THE ONLY SOLUTION IS TO REPLACE THE PTU BUT HOW DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH DAMAGE TO THE TRANSMISSION WAS CAUSED? NO ONE KNOWS BECAUSE ITS SUPPOSEDLY A LIFETIME OIL AND THE DANGEROUS HEATING CONDITIONS OF THE PLACEMENT OF THE PTU HEATS THE OIL USELESS AND THE CAUSES DAMAGE TO THE TRANSMISSION. DEPENDING ON THE AMOUNT OF DAMAGE ASSESSED UPON REMOVAL, YOU MAY NEED TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION. I DO NOT HAVE ANY DOCUMENTATION ATTACHED BECAUSE I HAVE POURED SO MUCH MONEY INTO TRYING TO ISOLATE AND DIAGNOSE I NOW CANT AFFORD TO HAVE THIS VERY EXPENSIVE PROBLEM FIXED. THIS HAS A POOR DESIGN AND SHOULD BE REPLACED BY THE MANUFACTURE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
TAILLIGHT WAS INOPERATIVE, PASSENGER SIDE, ALONG WITH DIRECTIONAL SIGNAL. THINKING IT WAS A BURNED OUT BULB, I REMOVED THE TAIL LIGHT CONNECTOR FROM THE PLASTIC HOUSING. I NOTICED THAT THE BULB HAD TOTALLY FUZED ITSELF TO THE CONNECTOR. WHILE THE BULB FILAMENTS APPEAR INTACT, THE BULB AND CONNECTOR HAD GENERATED ENOUGH HEAT TO ESSENTIALLY MELT THE BASE OF THE BULB TO THE CONNECTOR INTO ONE UNIT. ODDLY ENOUGH, WHEN LOOKING FOR THE CAUSE OF WHY SO MUCH HEAT WOULD BE GENERATED, I GOOGLED "CAR TAIL LIGHT CONNECTOR AND BULB MELTED". SURPRISE SURPRISE, I WAS DIRECTED TO THE FORD EDGE FORUM WHERE THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON COMPLAINT. NATURALLY, I NEEDED TO GET THIS FIXED QUICKLY AND MY HUSBAND WAS GOING TO THE SALVAGE YARD FOR UNRELATED PARTS, SO I ASKED HIM TO SEE IF HE COULD FIND A CONNECTOR, SINCE THIS PARTICULAR ITEM WAS COMMON TO MANY, MANY FORD AND MERCURY VEHICLES. HE FOUND T FORD FOCUS' THAT USED THIS CONNECTOR, AND BOUGHT THEM. OF NOTE, THE TWO CONNECTORS (1 WAS A "SPARE") HE BROUGHT HOME WERE BOTH SHOWING SIGNS OF DISCOLORATION OF THE PLASTIC ON THE CONNECTOR. THE FORUMS SAY FORD HAS NEGATIVE KNOWLEDGE OF THIS, BUT YOU GOTTA WONDER. DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON THE POOR QUALITY OF THE CHEAP PLASTIC RETAINER CLIP USED TO KEEP THE WIRING HARNESS CONNECTED TO THE CONNECTOR. I REMOVED FOUR UNITS. ALL FOUR RETAINER CLIPS BROKE OR DISINTEGRATED. MY FEAR IT THE POTENTIAL OF A FIRE HAZARD AND SIGNIFICANT ELECTRICAL FAILURE AS THIS IS NOT A SIMPLE BULB REPLACEMENT. ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED. I DO HAVE THE BULB IN QUESTION IF YOU NEED ME TO SEND IT IN.
