ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
DRIVING, GOING UP A HILL, THE CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING AND LOST POWER GOING UP. I ALMOST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT. THE CAR DOESN'T ACCELERATE AND IT HAS ALL THE FLUIDS AND CHANGED OF OILS. THE CAR CLUNKS AND HAS A WRENCH. WHEN I PUT INTO REVERSE IT JUMP A VERY MINIMUM ACCELERATION. I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. I HAD TO TOW THE CAR. THE MECHANIC COULDN'T FIND THE PROBLEM. HE SAID HE CLEARED UP THE COMPUTER AND IT WAS FINE. THEN I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. NO ACCELERATION. WHY FORD HASN'T MADE THIS INTO A SAFETY RECALL. I DID MY INVESTIGATION AND I BELIEVE IT HAS TO DO WITH THE TRANSMISSION SENSORS. PLEASE HELP ME.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHILE DRIVING OUT OF A DRIVEWAY ONTO A HIGHWAY, MY VEHICLE WENT LIMP AND I HAD TO PULL OVER. AS I WAS PUTTING IT INTO PARK, IT GAVE OUT A LOUD NOISE. I WAITED FOR A FEW MINUTES AND TURNED THE IGNITION BACK ON AND PROCEEDED TO DRIVE OFF AND THE CAR STALLED AGAIN. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. I'M HAVING IT TOWED TO MY HOUSE WHERE IT WILL STAY PARKED UNTIL I CAN HAVE IT LOOKED AT. HOPEFULLY, I WON'T HAVE TO TRADE IT IN. WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE FOR VEHICLES, I WILL NOT PURCHASE A FORD EVER AGAIN.

POWER TRAIN
TRANSMISSION SLIPPING AND DOWNSHIFTING HARD - AROUND 80,000K I STARTED TO NOTICE THAT THE TRANSMISSION WOULD BANG WHEN I PUT IT IN REVERSE. AFTER THAT, OTHER ISSUES STARTED HAPPENING - WHILE PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL, VEHICLE WOULD NOT SWITCH TO A HIGHER GEAR. I'D HAVE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP (IN TRAFFIC!), PUT IT IN PARK, THEN TRY TO DRIVE AGAIN. PERIODS WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD GET TO SPEED THEN SLIP. TRANSMISSION WOULD BANG LIKE I WAS BEING REAR-ENDED. CHANGED THE VALVE BODY, TSS, AND OSS SENSORS. THAT WORKED FOR A WHILE BUT NOW IT'S ACTING UP AGAIN. DOWNSHIFTS SO HARD AND BANGS WHILE I'M DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. I'M AFRAID IT'S GOING TO GO COMPLETELY WHILE I'M DRIVING. THERE WAS NO PRIOR DAMAGE TO VEHICLE TO CAUSE THIS MALFUNCTION.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
BOTH THE REAR TAIL/STOP LIGHT BULB SOCKETS MELT FROM EXTREME BULB HEAT. THIS ISSUE IS POSTED BY OTHERS ALL OVER THE INTERNET. THIS IS A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD THAT SERIOUSLY NEEDS ADDRESSING BY FORD. IN THE PAST I REPLACED THE RIGHT REAR BULB WHICH IS WHEN I DISCOVERED THE ISSUE. YESTERDAY I HAD TO REPLACE THE LEFT REAR BULB AND DISCOVERD THAT SOCKET TOO IS MELTED ALONG WITH THE BASE OF THE BULB ITSELF.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, THE ODOMETER SUDDENLY DROPS TO ZERO WHILE STILL MOVING AT THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT. THE WRENCH SYMBOL WARNING LIGHT IN THE DASH COMES ON, AS WELL AS THE AIRBAG LIGHT. THE MILEAGE IS THEN CLEARED, AND THE DASH READS "ODO ERROR". PULLED OVER, TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE AND REMOVED THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION. GO TO TURN THE VEHICLE BACK ON, CAR STARTS NORMALLY, ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS ARE CLEARED. PUT THE VEHICLE INTO REVERSE, AND HEAR AND FEEL A LOUD "CLUNK" AS THE VEHICLE SHIFTS, AND AM ABLE TO BACK UP NORMALLY. WHEN SHIFTING BACK INTO DRIVE, THE RPMS JUMP UP, THE CAR SHIFTS AND MAKES THE LOUD "CLUNK", AND WHEN PUSHING THE ACCELERATOR, THE VEHICLE BARELY MOVES. IT WILL OCCASIONALLY COME BACK AND THE VEHICLE WILL RETURN TO IT'S NORMAL RUNNING STATE, BUT THEN IT WILL EVENTUALLY RETURNED TO THE DEFECTIVE STATE. NO ODOMETER WHILE DRIVING, NO POWER IF YOU STOP LEAVING YOU STRANDED.

AS EVERYONE ELSE WITH 08 EDGE THE TRANSMISSION LOSES POWER. ENTERING HWY AND PRESS ON GAS, NO PICKUP JUST STALLS OUT. REPORTED TO ENERGY COUNTRY FORD ON 3 DIFFERENT VISITS, IN PORT ARTHUR, TX AND OF COURSE THEY SAID NOTHING WRONG. ALSO, LOUD CLUNK FROM PARK TO REVERSE OR DRIVE. PAINT ALSO CHIPS/PEELS ON THIS CREAM COLORED VEHICLE. HAVE SEEN OTHER VEHICLES THIS COLOR ON THE ROAD AND THE PAINT AROUND DOOR AREAS PEELING. ONLY 65K MILES AND WELL MAINTAINED. WITH SO MANY REPORTS OF THIS ISSUE FORD SURELY WOULD RECALL THE 08 EDGE TRANSMISSION LIKE THEY HAVE ON THE TRUCKS.

MY SUV LUNGES FORWARD WHILE IN MOTION IT HAS JUST CUT OFF WHILE IN MOTION WITH NO WARNING. I WAS ON MY CITY STREET AND THE VEHICLE JUST CUT OFF AND I HAD TO TURN THE KEY OVER TO RESTART IT. THEN IT HAS STARTED LUNGING WHILE I AM DRIVING IT. WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE IN DEC. 2017 & WHEN WE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE LUNGING, THE DEALER TOOK IT IN & SAID THAT IT NEEDED A TUNE-UP. WE PAID $300 ABOUT 5 MONTHS AGO AND GOT A TUNEUP AND IT HAS STARTED TO LUNGE AGAIN. IT OCCURS WHILE I AM DRIVING, SOMETIMES ON THE HIGHWAY AND ALSO IN REGULAR CITY TRAFFIC AT ABOUT 35 MPH. RECENTLY IT STARTED CUTTING OFF RANDOMLY. I AM CALLING TO REPORT IF TO FORD & WHERE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE TOMORROW. THE CUTTING OFF HAS HAPPENED TWICE. ONCE IN DEC. AND THEN TODAY, FEB. 3, 2019.
