SERVICE BRAKES
NO WARNING INDICATOR GIVEN. THE BREAKS DECIDE TO STOP WORKING. HISSING SOUND WHEN BREAK IS APPLIED. I HAD TO MASH ON THE PEDDLE TO STOP. LUCKILY I WAS TRAVELING AT A SLOW SPEED. I HAVE 2 CHILDREN AGES 1 AND 2 IN THE CAR WITH ME. THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE HAZARD AND NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED BY FORD.

MY CAR HAS MULTIPLE WARNING LIGHTS COME ON ALL AT THE SAME TIME. MY DASH SAYS ODO SYSTEM FAIL, THEN IS SAYS THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR FAILS, THE WRENCH FOR TRANSMISSION COMES ON, THEN THE TIRE PRESSURE SYMBOL COMES ON AND FLASHES, THE AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON, AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. THEN MY ODOMETER GOES TO ZERO. IF I SLOW DOWN TO A STOP SIGN OR SOMETHING, I PUSH THE GAS AND THE RPM'S ON MY CAR GO WAY UP BUT MY CAR HARDLY MOVES. ONCE I GET GOING TO A HIGHER SPEED, THE RPM'S GO DOWN...IT IS ALMOST LIKE IT IS STUCK IN A HIGH GEAR. THEN WHEN I PUT MY CAR INTO DRIVE AFTER IT WAS IN PARK, MY CAR JOLTS AND MAKES A HUGE CLANKING NOISE. IF I SHUT MY CAR OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON, IT MAKES A LOUD CLANKING NOISE BUT ALL MY WARNING LIGHTS TURN OFF EXCEPT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THEN WHEN I PUSH THE GAS AGAIN, IT IS STILL BARELY MOVING AND IN HIGH RPM'S BUT IT WILL RANDOMLY KICK INTO WHATEVER GEAR IT NEEDS TO BE IN AND MAKE ANOTHER LOUD CLANKING SOUND AND RUN FINE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND I AM NOT SURE WHY IT HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED YET. THIS HAPPENED TO ME FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE MIDDLE OF A FOUR WAY STOP AND I BLOCKED THE INTERSECTION AND ALMOST GOT HIT BY ANOTHER CAR. THIS IS EVENTUALLY GOING TO CAUSE GREAT HARM OR EVEN DEATH TO SOMEONE.

MY VEHICLE'S TRANSMISSION ACTS LIKES IT'S SLIPPING OR IN NEUTRAL WHEN IT'S NOT. JERKS WHEN IT SHIFTS GEARS. LOSES POWER WHEN I TRY TO ACCELERATE. I DID SOME RESEARCH THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE TRANSMISSIONS IN THE FORD EDGE'S. I STARTED HAVING ISSUES SEVERAL WEEKS AGO BACK IN OCTOBER 2016. WHY SHOULD ALL THE OWNERS OF THESE DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS TO BE FIXED. THAT'S NOT RIGHT! WE GAVE FORD OUR HARD EARNED MONEY JUST TO GET A DEFECTIVE VEHICLE. TALKED TO FORD TODAY AND THEY DON'T CARE. NOT GOING TO DO ANYTHING THEY STATED. TODAY I WAS AT A 4 WAY STOP IN A SCHOOL ZONE AND WHEN I WANTED TO TAKE OFF IT ACTED LIKE IT WAS IN NEUTRAL. I GOT TO WHERE I COULD PULL OVER AND SAT THERE A FEW MINUTES AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT THE OTHER MILE HOME. IT CLUNKS WHEN CHANGING GEARS AND JERKS. IT IS A INTERMITTENT PROBLEM AS IT DOESN'T HAPPEN EVERYDAY.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHILE DRIVING MY 2008 FORD EDGE, THE "WRENCH" LIGHT COMES ON AND MY CAR LOSES ALL POWER. WHEN I STEP ON THE GAS IT IS LIKE I AM IN NEUTRAL MY CAR WILL NOT DRIVE. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY IN TRAFFIC. I AM SO SCARED I AM GOING TO BE REAR-ENDED. I DID A LOT OF RESEARCH AND FOUND MANY OTHERS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. APPARENTLY IT IS THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, EQUIPMENT:MECHANICAL
2008 FORD EDGE TRANSMISSION ISSUES. THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT SHIFT PROPERLY AND STICKS IN GEAR AND SHIFTS VERY ERRATICALLY. IT HAPPENS AT LEAST ONCE A DAY OR MORE DEPENDING ON HOW OFTEN IT IS DRIVEN. THE CAR HAS BECOME UNRESPONSIVE AT DIFFERENT TIMES TO THE THE GAS PEDAL AND HAS ACTUALLY SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD, WE WERE ABLE TO COAST BARELY TO SAFETY. FROM READING FORD FORUMS IT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM, AND FORD KNOWS ABOUT IT BUT WILL DO NOTHING TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. WE DO NOT FEEL SAFE MANY TIMES DRIVING THE CAR NOT KNOWING WHAT THE TRANSMISSION WILL OR WON'T DO NEXT,. *TR

I PURCHASED THIS CAR WITHIN THE PAST MONTH FROM A USED CAR DEALERSHIP WITH 78,000 MILES ON IT. THIS PAST WEEKEND, I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING LOT AND THE ENGINE SHUT OFF WHILE TRYING TO PARK MY CAR. LUCKILY THERE WASN'T ANY TRAFFIC BEHIND ME BUT IF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED WHILE CARS WERE BEHIND ME, I PROBABLY WOULD HAVE GOTTEN INTO A SEVERE ACCIDENT.
