SERVICE BRAKES
I WAS DRIVING TO THE MALL AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I COULD BARELY PRESS ON THE BRAKES. IT WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL. I HEARD HISSING SOUNDS LIKE AIR RELEASING. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND HE SAID THE BRAKE BOOSTER WAS GOING OUT AND THIS IS A WORLD WIDE PROBLEM WITH FORD EDGES. I HAVE YET TO HAVE IT FIXED AS THE PART IS EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE.

POWER TRAIN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I WAS DRIVING BETWEEN 40-45 MPH ON A MAIN ROAD JUST AFTER 12 AM WHEN THE DASHBOARD LIT UP. THE CHECK ENGINE/WRENCH & AIRBAG LIGHTS CAME ON, THE ODOMETER DISPLAYED AN 'ODO DATA ERROR' MESSAGE (NO MILEAGE), & THE SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE DROPPED TO 0 MPH DESPITE STILL TRAVELING AT 40-45 MPH (I RELIED ON MY CELL PHONE'S GPS FOR MY TRAVELING SPEED). THE VEHICLE WAS RESPONSIVE, BRAKING, ACCELERATING, & DECELERATING NORMALLY, AS I LOOKED FOR SOMEWHERE TO PULL OVER. I CAME TO A FULL STOP AT A RED LIGHT & WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, I PUSHED DOWN ON THE GAS PEDAL BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NEARLY UNRESPONSIVE. I FULLY PUSHED DOWN ON THE GAS PEDAL BUT THE CAR ONLY GAINED ENOUGH SPEED TO CRAWL THROUGH THE INTERSECTION. I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT JUST PAST THE INTERSECTION, PUT THE CAR IN PARK, SHUT IT OFF, & WAITED 5 MINUTES BEFORE TURNING IT BACK ON. THE WARNING LIGHTS WERE OFF & THE ODOMETER MESSAGE WAS GONE BUT WHEN I SHIFTED INTO DRIVE, THERE WAS A LOUD, WRENCHING SOUND & THE ENTIRE CAR JERKED...STILL BARELY ABLE TO ACCELERATE & THE SPEEDOMETER STAYING AT 0, UNRESPONSIVE TO THE GAS PEDAL. I SHIFTED INTO REVERSE WITH THE SAME RESULTS. AFTER A FEW UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPTS WITH THE SAME RESULTS, I CALLED FOR A RIDE & LEFT THE CAR IN THE PARKING LOT, ARRANGING A TOW TO THE FORD DEALER WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED. THE FORD SERVICE DEPARTMENT DID A TEST DRIVE IN THEIR LOT & THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATING NORMALLY BUT PULLED COMPUTER ERROR CODES INDICATING FAULTY SENSORS (THE OUTPUT SPEED SENSOR & TURBINE SPEED SENSOR, WHICH WEREN'T 'COMMUNICATING PROPERLY'). I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL SHOP FOR REPAIR SINCE IT HAD JUST RUN OUT OF WARRANTY. I'M LUCKY BETHIS COULD HAVE BEEN A MUCH MORE DANGEROUS SITUATION IF IT HAD HAPPENED ON A BUSY ROAD OR A ROAD WITH A HIGHER SPEED LIMIT AND FEWER STOPS.

SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE
MY BRAKES STARTED OFF FEELING VERY STIFF, THEN WOULD SINK INTO FLOOR WHILE MAKING A HISSING SOUND. OFTEN BARELY STOPPING. WHEN STOPPED WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE THE ENGINE WILL START SPUTTERING LIKE IT IS GOING TO SHUT OFF, WHEN I LET OFF THE BRAKE IT WILL RUN FINE. THERE WERE NO WARNING OR INDICATIONS THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM AND I HAVE NEARLY WRECKED MULTIPLE TIMES. I CONTACTED THE LOCAL FORD SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND WAS INFORMED THAT THEY HAVE FIXED THIS SAME PROBLEM IN SEVERAL OF THE FORD EDGE SUVS AND THAT IT WOULD COST BETWEEN $600 AND $700 TO REPAIR. IF SO MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WHY HAS FORD NOT PUT OUT A RECALL ON THIS? *TR

WITHOUT WARNING, BRAKES FAILED. THANKFULLY WAS TRAVELING SLOWLY AS PARKING THE CAR. THERE WAS A HISSING SOUND AND BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. WE WERE LUCKY. COULD HAVE BEEN A DISASTER. CAR IS AT PRIVATE MECHANIC. TOLD MASTER CYLINDER AND BRAKE BOOSTER BAD. WHY WOULDN'T WE HAVE HAD A WARNING PRIOR TO SUCH A POTENTIALLY DISASTROUS FAILURE. WHY WOULDN'T THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT HAVE ACTIVATED. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE LEFT REAR TURN SIGNAL STOPPED WORKING. AFTER SEARCHING ONLINE I DISCOVERED IT WAS A COMMONLY REPORTED PROBLEM. UPON REMOVING THE LENS ASSEMBLY I NOTICED THE SAME THING OTHERS ARE REPORTING. THE PLASTIC BASE OF THE BULB IS MELTED. THE BULB IS STILL GOOD HOWEVER. THE BULB SOCKET IS CHARRED OBVIOUSLY FROM EXCESSIVE HEAT. NOTHING ELSE INCLUDING THE RUBBER GASKET AROUND THE SOCKET SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN AFFECTED BY THIS HEAT. *TR

POWER TRAIN
THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM FOR A WHILE NOW (YEARS). WHAT IS HAPPENING IS MY TRANSMISSION IS STRUGGLING TO SHIFT INTO GEAR, BUT MORE OFTEN WHEN TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 15-25 MPH. AT THIS SPEED, IT WILL SHIFT BUT OFTENTIMES WHEN IT SHIFTS THERE IS A THUD AND HARD JERK, ALMOST SEEMING AS MY TRANSMISSION IS GOING TO DROP RIGHT OUT OF MY CAR. WHEN I FIRST HAD THIS DIAGNOSED, THE DEALERSHIP THOUGHT PERHAPS MY PCM NEEDED RECALIBRATED. SHORTLY AFTER THE RECALIBRATION, THE ENTIRE PCM FRIED AND IT NEEDED REPLACED. LUCKILY, IT WAS COVERED UNDER AN 80,000 MILE WARRANTY (MY CAR HAD ABOUT 75,000 MILES ON IT...PHEW). NEEDLESS TO SAY, AFTER THE ENTIRE PCM REPLACEMENT, MY CAR STILL STRUGGLES TO SHIFT AND, UNFORTUNATELY, IT SEEMS LIKE I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, POWER TRAIN
1ST OCCURRENCE: THE VEHICLE'S SPEEDOMETER WENT TO 0 AND WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. AS THE VEHICLE SLOWED AND I TRIED TO ACCELERATE OUT OF TRAFFIC, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE. IT SEEMED TO BE STUCK IN A HIGH GEAR. I SAT ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND WAS ALMOST ROBBED WHILE I WAS WAITING ON MY HUSBAND TO ARRIVE FOR HELP. AFTER MY HUSBAND ARRIVED AND THE CAR HAD BEEN OFF FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES, HE STARTED IT AND IT DROVE LIKE NORMAL. 2ND OCCURRENCE: ABOUT 1 MONTH LATER, THE SAME THING HAPPENED WITH THE VEHICLE, FORTUNATELY I WAS CLOSER TO HOME. MY HUSBAND RAN THROUGH THE SAME PROCESS OF ALLOWING THE CAR TO COOL OFF AND RESTARTING IT. AFTER SOME INVESTIGATION ONLINE, THIS ISSUE SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE FORD EDGE. IT APPEARS TO BE A PAIR OF SENSORS, CALLED THE TURBINE SENSOR AND TRANSMISSION SPEED SENSOR. IT ALSO APPEARS THAT THESE SENSORS COST ABOUT $800 TO REPLACE. IF THIS IS SUCH A COMMON PROBLEM, WHY HAS THERE NOT BEEN A RECALL FROM FORD? *TR
