POWER TRAIN
THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME AND I COULD NOT ACCELERATE. I CALLED A DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS POSSIBLY A PROBLEM WITH TRANSMISSION AND THAT I SHOULD TURN THE CAR OFF AND TURN IT ON AGAIN WHICH I DID. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY REPLACED A SENSOR IT APPROXIMATELY, 1 YEAR AFTER THIS INCIDENCE, THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING AROUND 55-60 MPH. I STOPPED AT A LIGHT AND COULD NOT ACCELERATE. OTHER CARS WERE BEARING DOWN ON ME AS THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN. FINALLY GOT THE CAR TO MOVE AND DROVE IT HOME, BUT EVERY LIGHT I GOT TO IT WAS HARDER TO ACCELERATE. FINALLY REACHED HOME, AND PUT IT IN REVERSE, IT FELT LIKE I HAD BEEN REAR ENDED BY A TRUCK. SO NEEDLESS TO SAY, FORD ONLY AUTHORIZED THE DEALER TO REPLACE THE SAME SENSOR. I WILL PICK UP MY CAR TODAY, THEY REPLACED THE SAME SENSOR WITH A GUARANTEE THAT IT WILL LAST FOR 12 MONTHS OR 12, 000 MILES. I FEAR FOR MY SAFETY AND MY FAMILY WHILE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
DRIVER SIDE REAR BLINKER HAS BEEN REPLACED EVERY 4-6 MONTHS. SOCKET IS COMPLETELY MELTED. BULBS ARE MELTED. BLACK IS ALL AROUND SOCKET. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND I WILL NOT PAY THE DEALERSHIP AN ARM AND LEG JUST TO KEEP ME SAFE (CAR FIRE). ONE PERSON SAID THEY WERE CHARGED 98 DOLLARS. THAT'S ABSURD. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL AND THIS SHOULD BE REPLACED WITH NO EXPENSE TO THE CUSTOMER. *TR

POWER TRAIN, ENGINE
IF I ACCELERATE MORE THAN 15 MPH THE CAR WOULD WHAT I CALL "SLAM" INTO THE NEXT GEAR. WHEN I AM ACCELERATING ONTO THE HIGHWAY OR ACCELERATE AND THEN BACK OFF THE GAS AND GO AGAIN OR IF I ACCELERATE INTO THE PASSING LANE THE CAR DOESN'T DRIVE. I HAVE HAD THE CAR TO BETHLEHEM FORD, KELLY FORD IN EMMAUS AND GILBOY FORD IN WHITEHALL FOR THE PROBLEM TWO TIMES AT EACH LOCATION. NO ONE CAN FIND OUT WHAT IS WRONG. CONTACTED FORD DIRECTLY AND THEY SAY TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR, I TOLD THEM I DID NUMEROUS TIMES AND THEY TOLD ME THIS."THE CAR LEARNS HOW YOU DRIVE, SO WHEN YOU DRIVE OUT OF CHARACTER THE CAR BASICALLY REACTS BY TELLING YOU NOW WAIT A MINUTE I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING AND THE CAR REACTS IN A CONFUSED MANNER". THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT BECAUSE I'M NOT AN AGGRESSIVE DRIVER THAT WHEN I DO DRIVE AGGRESSIVE "THE CAR DOESN'T UNDERSTAND". I DRIVE HIGHWAY EVERY DAY TO AND FROM WORK, I HAVE TO BE AGGRESSIVE MOST OF THE TIME TO SURVIVE ON THE HIGHWAY AND KEEP UP WITH TRAFFIC. I HAVE ASKED THE DEALERSHIP TO COME DOWN THE BLOCK SO I CAN SHOW THEM WHAT THE CAR DOES SINCE IT DOES IT EVERY DAY WHEN I LEAVE WORK BUT THEY TELL ME THEY CAN'T BECAUSE IT IS A LIABILITY ISSUE FOR THEM TO DRIVE IN THE CAR WITH ME. THEY HAVE HAD THE CAR AND CAN'T MAKE IT REPEAT THE SITUATION; I HAVE GONE ON TEST RIDES WITH A MECHANIC AND CAN'T MAKE IT REPEAT THE PROBLEM. I WAS TAKING ONE OF OUR EMPLOYEES TO GO PICK UP ONE OF THE COMPANY VEHICLES AT GILBOY AND I SAID DO YOU WANT ME TO SHOW YOU WHAT MY CAR DOES AND HE SAID YES. SO I MADE THE CAR DO THE SLAMMING INTO GEAR AND HE SAID THAT ISN'T RIGHT HE TRIED TO FIGHT FOR ME AT GILBOY BUT THEY SAID AGAIN NO CODE AND THEY COULDN'T REPEAT THE SITUATION. NOW MY CAR IS ALMOST OUT OF WARRANTY AND STILL NO FIX. I DON'T HAVE MONEY TO MAKE MAJOR REPAIRS TO A CAR THAT IS WHY I BOUGHT NEW AND I DON'T HAVE MONEY TO BUY A NEW CAR. *TR

WHEN I ACCELERATE FROM A STOP MY TRANSMISSIONS VIOLENT SHIFTS BETWEEN 1ST TO 2ND AND SOMETIMES FROM 2ND TO 3RD. IT DOES NOT DO THIS ALL THE TIME ONLY 2 OR 3 TIMES PER WEEK FOR AS LONG AS I AM DRIVING IT. I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO LUMBERTON FORD CONCERNING THIS AND THEY STATED IT DID NOT THROW ANY CODES. TECH COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM (DUH) SO HEY ADVISED ME TO BRING IT BACK WHEN IT WAS ACTIVELY DOING IT. MOST OF THE TIMES ITS AFTER HOURS OR WHILE I AM IN ROUTE IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION OR GOING SOMEWHERE. MOST PEOPLE JUST DON'T CRUISE AROUND DURING THE WEEK. I TOOK MY TRUCK INTO TODAY WHEN I FOUND FORD TSB 7 5 2 AND PROVIDED IT TO THE DEALERSHIP BUT THEY SWEAR THAT IS NOT THE PROBLEM. FIRST WHEN I SPOKE TO THE GUY COUPLE DAYS AGO HE COULDN'T EVEN PULL IT UP ON HIS SYSTEM THEN HE SAID THE TECH ADAMANTLY DENIED THIS WAS THE PROBLEM. THIS IS WHAT TSB 7 5 2 STATES - DTC P0771, P0774 AND / OR STARTS IN 4TH GEAR FROM A STOP, HARSH 4-1 DOWNSHIFT ON DRIVE AWAY AT 3 MPH. 6F50 TRANSAXLE BUILT PRIOR TO 01-10-07. *KB IT SOUNDS JUST LIKE IT TO ME. HE IS EXPECTING IT THROW A CODE BUT IT CLEARLY STATES THAT AND/OR. I AM FAIRLEY MECHANICALLY INCLINED AND I KNOW THAT I HAVE READ NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT THE DEAL IS WITH FORD OR THE NHTSB IN NOT DEMANDING A RECALL. MY POWER TRAIN WAS ASSEMBLED IN 11/06 AND I FEEL FORD IS TRYING TO DODGE A BULLET. SHAME ON YOU. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
TURNED ON CAR, ONCE WE PUT IT IN DRIVE, COULD GET NO FORWARD MOTION WITH ACCELERATION, MINIMAL FORWARD MOTIONS WHEN WE FLOORED IT. PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE AND THERE WAS A HEAVY KNOCK AND FELT LIKE THE ENGINE FELL OUT OF THE CAR. WE TURNED OFF THE CAR, WAITED A BIT AND TRIED AGAIN AND IT DROVE NORMALLY. THIS HAS HAPPENED A DOZEN OR SO TIMES, BUT RECENTLY OCCURRED AFTER I HAD BEEN DRIVING NORMALLY AND CAME TO A STOP AT A LIGHT. I TRIED TO ACCELERATE WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN BUT COULDN'T GO. I PUT THE CAR IN LOW GEAR AND IT MOVED SLOWLY FORWARD, THEN AFTER A BIT I SHIFTED IT BACK UP TO NORMAL AND THE GEAR ENGAGED AGAIN. SCARY IF YOU CAN'T MOVE WHEN NEEDED! I AM ALSO EXPERIENCING A CHUGGING WHEN I ACCELERATE TO ABOUT 40MPH... IT STUTTERS.. WHO KNOWS WHAT THAT IS! I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND EXPLAINED MY PROB. AT ABOUT 55000 MILES... WHILE STILL UNDER WARRANTY... AND THEY TOLD ME THEY COULDN'T FIND A PROBLEM. I'M SURE THAT FORD KNOWS ABOUT THESE ISSUES. THE DECENT THING TO DO WOULD TO HAVE A RECALL AND FIX IT!! NISSAN DID FOR MY MURANO. MAYBE I'LL JUST GO BACK TO A NISSAN. *TR

I TOOK MY FORD EDGE IN FOR THE FIRST TIME IN JANUARY 2012 WITH THESE ISSUES: WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE IT WOULD SHIFT EXTREMELY HARD, IT FELT AS IF MY CAR HAD BEEN REAR ENDED, NUMEROUS TIMES THE WRENCH LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND THE VEHICLE WOULD BECOME SLUGGISH, WHEN I PRESSED ON THE GAS THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE FORWARD. THERE WAS ALSO A HIGH PITCHED WHINE WHEN THE CAR WAS IN REVERSE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM, AFTER RESEARCHING MYSELF ON THE INTERNET I TOLD THEM ABOUT THE MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS I READ ON THE EDGE TRANSMISSION AND TO CHECK THE TURBINE SHAFT SPEED SENSOR. THEY THEN REPLACED IT AT NO CHARGE BECAUSE I WAS STILL UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY. FOR 8 MONTHS I WENT WITHOUT INCIDENT UNTIL SEPTEMBER 2012, SAME PROBLEM ONLY WORSE, I MANAGED TO INCH MY WAY OFF THE HIGHWAY. WHEN IN DRIVE AND PRESSING ON THE GAS THE CAR WOULD HARDLY MOVE, WHEN SHIFTING INTO PARK/DRIVE THE TRANSMISSION WOULD MAKE A HORRENDOUS CLUNKING SOUND. SO HERE I AM BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP NO LONGER UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY AND HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM THEY SUPPOSEDLY FIXED. I AM FORTUNATE I WAS NOT REAR ENDED WHEN MY CAR CAME TO A HALT IN TRAFFIC AND I AM GRATEFUL I WAS ABLE TO GET TO SAFETY. I AM FURIOUS TO READ PAGE AFTER PAGE OF COMPLAINTS ON THE VERY TOPIC AND YET FORD LOOKS AT ME LIKE THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS PLAGUING THEIR CUSTOMERS! WHY THIS IS NOT A FORD RECALL I DO NOT KNOW, BUT I FEEL THOROUGHLY DUPED BY FORD MOTORS. *TR

THE PTU (POWER TAKE OFF UNIT) ON MY AWD FORD EDGE IS LEAKING AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED- PER THE DEALERSHIP- IT SMELLS AND THE TRANSMISSION CLUNKS/ MAKES NOISE. THESE ARE ALL KNOWN ISSUES TO FORD AND THEY REFUSE TO FIX THE ISSUES. THE FOAM SEAL BETWEEN MY WINDSHIELD AND DASH BOARD IS COMING OUT OF THE GAP AND CAUSING VISIBILITY ISSUES AS IT IS DISTRACTING- ANOTHER FORD KNOWN ISSUE WITH MULTIPLE TSB'S AND THEY REFUSE TO HELP WITHOUT ME PAYING OUT OF POCKET FOR THEIR ISSUES. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE BRAKING ON A HIGHWAY I FELT SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THE BRAKES AS I HAD TO PUSH THE PEDAL WITH ALL MY MIGHT TO SLOW DOWN. AFTER EXITING THE RAMP AND APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT IT WAS APPARENT THAT I HAD NO "REAL" BRAKES..AGAIN PEDAL TO THE FLOOR WITH A VERY LONG DISTANCE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. AT THIS TIME I COULD HEAR A VERY LOUD KIND OF WHISTLING SOUND COMING FROM THE PEDAL WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES..AGAIN TO THE FLOOR. AS I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT IT FELT LIKE I LOST ALL CONTROL ...ALMOST LIKE NO POWER AT ALL TO STOP THE CAR. THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED TO FORD..MY MECHANIC SAID IT WAS THE BRAKE BOOSTER. *TR

MY 2007 FORD EDGE, BEGAN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION NOVEMBER 2011. WHILE DRIVING, PULLING ONTO VERY BUSY HIGHWAY, EDGE SLIPPED INTO NEUTRAL. NUMEROUS VEHICLES HAD TO SUDDENLY STOP TO PREVENT FROM CRASHING INTO ME. NEEDLESS TO SAY I WAS EXTREMELY UPSET, BUT ALSO VERY THANKFUL NO ONE WAS INJURED. NOW THE PROBLEM BEGINS. NOTIFIED CHAPMAN FORD ABOUT THIS PROBLEM WAS TOLD TO BRING IN EDGE. EXPLAINED TO SERVICE EDGE SLIPPED INTO NEUTRAL, ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON ALONG WITH WRENCH LIGHT. AFTER PULLING OFF TO SIDE OF ROAD STILL COULD NOT GET CAR TO MOVE. I THEN TURNED CAR OFF FOR A MINUTE OR SO, STARTED UP THE CAR AND IT WAS FINE. AFTER A FEW DAYS I RECEIVED A CALL TELLING ME IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY AND WOULD COST 674.00 DOLLARS SINCE THIS WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. SO, THROTTLE BODY WAS REPLACED. NOW MY EDGE BEGAN HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM 1 MONTH AGO, WAS TOLD NOW IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION! PROBLEM IS WARRANTY EXPIRED 1 MONTH AGO. TIRED TO EXPLAIN HAD THE PROBLEM BEEN CORRECTED THE FIRST TIME, TRANSMISSION WOULD HAVE STILL BEEN UNDER WARRANTY. SPOKE WITH NUMEROUS PEOPLE INCLUDING FORD, TO BE TOLD THE SAME THING "WE CAN'T HELP SORRY YOUR WARRANTY EXPIRED". I AM NOW DRIVING MY EDGE WITH FEAR THIS CAN HAPPEN AT ANY TIME. IT GIVES NO WARNING WHAT SO EVER, BY THE WAY MY EDGE ONLY HAS 28,000 MILES AND IS VERY WELL MAINTAINED. I HAVE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, AND FORD DOES NOT SEEN TO WANT TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM. HOPEFULLY, NO ONE WILL GET SERIOUSLY HURT AND FORD WILL STAND BY THERE EDGE! THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME, I HOPE THIS IS HELPFUL FOR OTHERS AND THIS SAFETY PROBLEM CAN BE RESOLVED. *TR

EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:AIR CONDITIONER
THE AIR CONDITION STOP WORKING IN MY CAR. I HAD A NEW COMPRESSOR INSTALLED 2012. THE AIR CONDITION UNIT STILL DOES NOT WORK THEY FLUSHED THE LINE AND RAN DYE TO SEE IF I HAD A LINK AND CHECK THE FANS. NO LINK IN THE LINE. I HAVE HAD MY CAR SERVICED BY DEALERSHIP AND NO ONE CAN SEEM TO FIND OUT WHY THIS OCCURRING. DURING THE DAY THE AIR DOES NOT WORK, THE FAN IS RUNNING AND HOT AIR IS COMING OUT OF THE VENTS. YOU CAN HEAR THE FAN CLICK ON HARD WHEN YOUR IDLING AT A RED LIGHT. IF I ROLL THE WINDOWS DOWN, THE AIR WILL APPEAR TO GET COOL. WHEN YOU PICKUP SPEED WITH THE WINDOWS DOWN THE AIR BEGINS TO GET COLD, BUT ONCE I CLOSE THE WINDOWS THE AIR STOPS BECOMING COOL AND HOT AIR BLOWS. IT'S BEEN EXTREMELY HOT AND I CAN HAVE A HEAT STROKE AND I HAVE HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE. I HAVE TO ARRIVE TO WORK AT 7AM WHILE IT'S COOL OUTSIDE AND LEAVE AFTER 7PM WHEN THE SUN BEGINS TO GO DOWN. THIS IS HORRIBLE TO PAY > $30K FOR A VEHICLE AND THE AIR CONDITION DOES NOT WORK. I'LL NEVER BUY ANOTHER FORD AGAIN. *JS

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHILE DRIVING MY '07 FORD EDGE ON THE EXPRESSWAY I NOTICED THAT MY CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE ABOVE 60 MPH AND BEGAN STALLING. I EXITED THE EXPRESSWAY TO NOTICE THIS BURNING SMELL COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD OF MY CAR. I ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE IT TO A SAFE PLACE TO PARK WHEN IT JUST COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A WELL KNOW AUTO SHOP WHERE I WAS TOLD THAT AN IGNITION COIL WAS BURNED AND THE REASON MY CAR STALLED. I HAD THE IGNITION COIL REPLACED AND THE CAR STILL WOULD NOT RESTART. I HAD IT TOWED TO ANOTHER SHOP AND WAS TOLD THE CRANK SHAFT AND CAM SHAFT SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I PAID FOR THESE SERVICES AND FINALLY WAS TOLD THE COMPUTER ON THE CAR WAS BURNED AND THIS IS THE REASON THAT MY CAR WOULD NOT START. FINALLY MY CAR HAS BEEN TOWED TO FORD AND I AM AWAITING ITS FATE. I HAVE ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR TWO YEARS AND THIS IS THE SECOND ELECTRICAL ISSUE THAT I HAVE ENCOUNTERED WITH THIS VEHICLE. AT FIRST, I WAS CHANGING REAR TURN SIGNALS ALMOST 1-2 A WEEK. I PURCHASED MY EDGE JANUARY 2010 AND HAD TO REPLACE THE BATTERY JULY 2010. AFTER READING OTHER FORUMS I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE POTENTIAL ELECTRICAL FIRES THAT THIS SUV COULD PRODUCE.
