#11268005October 11, 2019
POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THE INFORMATION PANEL LIT UP WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, THE WRENCH, THE AIRBAG LIGHT, THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT AND DISPLAYED A MESSAGE: ODO DATA ERROR. THE ODOMETER/SPEEDOMETER FELL TO ZERO. I STOPPED AT A LIGHT AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE NORMALLY, THEN A BIG CLUNKING SOUND AND FINALLY MOVED FORWARD. AFTER A NIGHT IN THE GARAGE, THE VEHICLE DROVE NORMALLY THE NEXT DAY AND ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS WERE OFF. THEN ONE DAY IT HAPPENED AGAIN. TOOK IT TO A FORD DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND THEREFORE COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING TO FIX. SINCE THAT TIME, IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND EACH TIME I PULL OFF THE ROAD, TURN THE ENGINE OFF, WAIT A LITTLE BIT, START THE ENGINE AGAIN AND PULL AWAY. THERE IS ALWAYS THE CLUNKING AND JERKING INTO GEAR. AFTER REVIEWING A FEW FORD ONLINE FORMS, I SEE THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN THE 2008 EDGE AND MAY BE ATTRIBUTED TO TWO SENSORS, THE SPEED OUTPUT AND TURBINE SENSORS. FOR SAFETY REASONS, I WILL ONLY DRIVE ON SURFACE STREETS BECAUSE I NEVER KNOW WHEN IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN. SEEMS TO ME, FORD IS LIKELY AWARE OF THIS AND WOULD BE A SHAME IF SOMEONE GOT HURT. THE DATE BELOW IS THE MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE ALTHOUGH IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. *TR

POWER TRAIN
DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE WRENCH LIGHT COMES ON, SPEEDOMETER STOPS WORKING AND THE VEHICLE LOSES POWER. I CAN ALSO SMELL A BURNING SMELL. ONCE I HAVE COME TO A STOP, THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS VERY HARD LIKE SOMEONE HAS HIT THE VEHICLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES, INCLUDING A COUPLE OF TIMES WHEN I PULLED INTO TRAFFIC AND THE VEHICLE LOST POWER, COMING VERY CLOSE TO CAUSING AN ACCIDENT WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC. VERY DANGEROUS AND I AM VERY APPREHENSIVE ABOUT DRIVING THE CAR DUE TO MY FAMILY'S SAFETY.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THE WRENCH LIGHT WILL COME ON WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE, AND POWER IS LOST. MY CAR WILL SLOW DOWN TO AROUND 10-20 MPH NO MATTER WHERE I AM OR HOW FAST I AM GOING. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY FORD. I HAVE BEEN ON I-10 WITH MY HUSBAND AND TODDLER AND THE VEHICLE GOES INTO THIS "LIMP MODE" AT 80 MPH! I AM SO TERRIFIED TO DRIVE A VEHICLE THAT I HAVE TO PAY EVERY MONTH FOR. MECHANICS THAT HAVE LOOKED AT THE CAR HAVE NO DEFINITIVE ANSWER TO PROBLEM, THEY SUGGESTED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY BE CLEANED. WE DID THAT AND IT WAS NO HELP. THE VEHICLE LEFT ME AND MY SON STRANDED THIS MORNING ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE I COULD NOT GET IT OUT OF THE "SAFETY LIMP MODE". USUALLY, I CAN PULL OVER, PARK, AND SHUT THE CAR OFF FOR A FEW MINUTES, THEN TURN IT ON AND IT WOULD WORK AGAIN. THIS MORNING, IT WOULD NOT RESET ITSELF. I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY HELP OR ADVICE ON THIS MATTER.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY SUDDENLY SPEEDOMETER/ODOMETER STOPPED WORKING, LOW TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON AND CAR ACCELERATION DROPPED AND IT WOULDN'T RESPOND TO INCREASED PRESSURE ON GAS PEDAL. CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. HAD TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY. CAR WOULD ONLY TRAVEL AT A VERY LOW SPEED. MADE MY WAY TO A PARKING LOT AND SHUT THE CAR OFF. SHIFTING INTO ANY GEAR (REVERSE, DRIVE ETC.) CAUSED THE CAR TO JUMP/SHAKE AND MAKE A LOUD NOISE. AFTER A WHILE IT RESOLVED ITSELF. TOOK THE CAR TO A FORD DEALERSHIP. THEY CHECKED IT OUT, COULD FIND NO ISSUE (INCIDENTAL FINDING - CAR NEEDED BATTERY). BATTERY WAS REPLACED, PICKED UP CAR AND RESUMED DRIVING THE CAR. WITHIN A WEEK WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY (SECOND TIME SINCE PICKING THE CAR UP) AND HAD THE SAME THING HAPPEN. DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AND SUDDENLY SEE THE SPEEDOMETER/ODOMETER STOP WORKING, LOW TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT AND LOSE ABILITY TO CONTROL ACCELERATION OF VEHICLE. HAD TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY, CAR WOULDN'T TRAVEL AT ANYTHING OTHER THAN VERY LOW SPEED, JERKED WHEN SHIFTED ETC. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE AND WHEN LOOKING IT UP ONLINE I CAN SEE IT HAS HAPPENED TO MANY WITH THIS MODEL/YEAR. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO SUDDENLY LOSE THE ABILITY TO CONTROL ACCELERATION. WHY HAS THIS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED WITH A RECALL. IT SEEMS TO OCCUR ONCE THE CAR REACHES CLOSE TO 100K MILES. CAN'T HELP BUT WONDER WHY DEALERSHIP IS NOT AWARE BUT I CAN FIND REAMS OF DOCUMENTED ISSUES ONLINE. FYI - THIS CAR IS PRIMARILY DRIVEN BY MY 19 YEAR OLD SON AND BOTH INCIDENCES OCCURRED WHEN HE WAS DRIVING.

VEHICLE WILL ACT LIKE IT ' JUMPS' AND THE WRENCH LIGHT WILL COME ON. VEHICLE WILL DECELERATE IF I DON'T PULL OVER IMMEDIATELY CAUSING ME TO COME TO A STOP. SPEEDOMETER DOESN'T WORK WHILE THIS IS HAPPENING. CANT ACCELERATE ONCE STOPPED. HAS TO TURN VEHICLE OFF TO RESET THE COMPUTER AND THE WRENCH LIGHT WILL GO OFF FOR A PERIOD OF TIME UNTIL IT DECIDES TO HAPPEN AGAIN. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION IF ON THE HIGHWAY AND CAN'T GET OUT OF THE WAY OF OTHER CARS TO CUT THE VEHICLE OFF. HAPPENS A FEW TIMES A MONTH.

POWER TRAIN
WHILE NORMALLY DRIVING, THE "WRENCH" LIGHT WILL COME ON AND THE VEHICLE GOES INTO A LOW-POWER "LIMP MODE". SO I PULL OVER IMMEDIATELY, AND PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK, SHUT IT OFF, AND REMOVE THE KEY. I SIT WITH IT POWERED OFF FOR ABOUT A 10 SECOND COUNT, AND RESTART THE ENGINE. THE WRENCH LIGHT GOES OFF, AND I CAN DRIVE NORMALLY UNTIL IT HAPPENS AGAIN.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
VEHICLE INITIALLY WOULD NOT ACCELERATE BEYOND 10 MPH THEN COMPLETELY LOST POWER IN THE MIDDLE OF RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. LOCAL REPAIR CENTER REPORTED ISSUES WITH PCM AND WAS UNABLE TO FIX IT. SENT IT TO A FORD DEALER WHO CONFIRMED ISSUES WITH PCM THAT DAMAGED THE BODY THROTTLE, 3 ENGINE COILS, AND OTHER PARTS. HAD TO REPLACE PCM AND PARTS DAMAGED BY IT RESULTING IN A $2894.10 REPAIR BILL. THE FOLLOWING DAY AFTER REPAIR, WAS AGAIN IN THE MIDDLE OF RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC AND THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY LOSS POWER AGAIN. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN AND BASED ON RESEARCH, A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME THING. FORD NEED TO RECALL THIS ISSUE. I'M SO THANKFUL MY CHILD WAS NOT IN THE VEHICLE DURING THESE EVENTS.

ENGINE
WHILE DRIVING THE FORD EDGE HAS A COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER. THE WRENCH LIGHT AND BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON. THE POWER STEERING WOULD NOT WORK AND I HAD TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND WAS ABLE TO RESTART IT. THE MECHANIC WAS NOT ABLE TO REPLICATE IT. IT HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES ALMOST CAUSING A WRECK EACH TIME WHILE DRIVING IN THE CITY. LUCKILY IT HAS NOT HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE HAD THE THROTTLE BODY REPLACED AS SUGGESTED IN THE FORUMS FOR THIS PROBLEM. HTTPS://WWW.CARGURUS.COM/CARS/DISCUSSION-T35446_DS471580

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
ON MY DRIVE TO WORK I NOTICED MY TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT WAS ON. ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK SOMETHING EXTREMELY SCARY HAPPENED. TWO ADDITIONAL LIGHTS APPEARED, ONE WAS THE WRENCH SYMBOL AND THE OTHER WAS TIRE SENSOR FAULT WHICH WAS NOT THE BIGGEST ISSUE. THE BIGGER SCARIER ISSUE WAS THAT WHILE GOING 65 MPH IN BUSY TRAFFIC MY SPEED ODOMETER STOPPED WORKING. I SPOKE TO SOMEONE AT FORD AND EXPRESSED MY FEAR OF THIS SAFETY ISSUE. THEY RECOMMENDED REPORTING IT. IF ANYONE ELSE HAS THIS SERIOUS ISSUE PLEASE REPORT IT.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
THE PCM ON MY FORD EDGE HAS WENT OUT FOR A SECOND TIME AFTER 5 YEARS OF HAVING IT FIXED THE FIRST TIME. THIS ISSUE IS AN ON GOING ISSUE THAT ONCE AGAIN WILL COST OVER 1000 TO REPLACE AND REPAIR ALL THE PROBLEMS THIS HAS CAUSED SUCH AS THE COMPUTER ITSELF ALL THE SPARK PLUGS EVEN THOUGH IT IS NOT TIME FOR THIS TO BE CHANGED AGAIN THE CAR WAS PURCHASED WITH 95000 MILES ON IT AND WITHIN A MONTH OF HAVING IT THE CAR SHOT THE COMPUTER WE REPLACED ALL THE SPARK PLUGS COILS AND THE COMPUTER THRU A DEALERSHIP AND NOW THE VEHICLE IS AT 123000 AND ONCE AGAIN IT IS TIME TO REPLACE ALL THE PARTS AGAIN. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED DUE TO THE LOSS OF POWER WHILE DRIVING WHEN THIS ISSUE FIRST STARTS.

POWER TRAIN
VEHICLE IN MOTION ON CITY ROAD WHEN VEHICLE ALL OF A SUDDEN MAKES LOUD/HARD CLANK NOISE AND IMMEDIATELY LOSES POWER - ALMOST LIKE IT STARTED TOWING A TRAILER! LOSS OF POWER, WRENCH LIGHT, TPS LIGHT, AIRBAG LIGHT ALL COME ON, SPEEDOMETER STOPS WORKING. PULLED OVER, LOUD/HARD CLANK SOUND WITH EVERY GEAR CHANGE P-2. VEHICLE HAD DISPLAYED NO ISSUES PRIOR TO THIS. DROPPED VEHICLE OFF AT MECHANIC, WHEN HE LOOKED AT IT NEXT MORNING, VEHICLE IS RUNNING PERFECT. TODAY IS A FRIDAY, I WAS SUPPOSED TO GO OUT OF TOWN (VIA I75) BUT I AM GOING TO STAY LOCAL AS IT DOES NOT FEEL SAFE TO DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY. I AM GREATLY CONCERNED ABOUT WHAT APPEARS TO BE A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE WITH THIS CAR. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS SEARCH - THERE ARE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE TO BE FOUND ALL OVER THE INTERNET WITH NO FIXES KNOWN. FORD NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL AND FIX THIS ASAP BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY HURT OR IS KILLED FROM THE EXTREME LOSS OF POWER THE VEHICLE IS SUFFERING FROM WHEN THIS HAPPENS.
