ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), POWER TRAIN
I PULLED OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE. I PULLED OUT OF MY NEIGHBORHOOD AND AS SOON AS I GAVE IT ANY GOOD AMOUNT OF GAS IT STARTING DRIVING REALLY ROUGH AND SHAKING AND THE A/C WENT OUT YOU COULD HEAR THE MISFIRE ON THE CYLINDERS AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS REVVING HIGH BEFORE IT WOULD SHIFT GEARS. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS OR ANYTHING AT THIS POINT. I TURNED BACK AROUND AND TOOK MY CAR BACK HOME TURNED IT OFF AND THEN TURNED IT BACK ON AND THAT'S WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WE PULLED THE CODE AND IT WAS P0352 (IGNITION COIL 2 OR PCM) SO WE BOUGHT AND CHANGED ALL SPARK PLUGS AND COIL 2. THIS STILL DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. SO I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND $3000 LATER THEY HAD TO REPLACE MY PCM (THE MAIN COMPUTER THAT RUN THE CAR) ALL 6 COILS AND SPARK PLUGS. I DID A LOT OF RESEARCH ABOUT MY CAR HAVING THIS PROBLEM AND IT SEEMS LIKE A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. PLEASE RECALL THIS. MY COMPUTER SHOULD NOT HAVE GONE OUT WHEN I DO REGULAR MAINTENANCE ON MY CAR. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WE NOTICED A STRONG FUEL SMELL IN OUR GARAGE AND TOOK OUR CAR IN FOR SERVICE. WE WERE TOLD THE FUEL TANK HAD ROTTED OUT AND WAS LEAKING FUEL. THE ENTIRE GAS TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED (ABOUT $2100). WE WERE TOLD BY THE MECHANIC THAT THIS WASN'T UNCOMMON AND WOULD "MOST LIKELY" HAPPEN AGAIN WITH THE NEW TANK. WE HAVE SINCE TRADED THE CAR IN FOR A NEW VEHICLE. *TR

POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I WAS DRIVING UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS AT ABOUT 35 MPH WHEN THE TRANSMISSION SEEMED TO BE SLIPPING AND THE WRENCH CAME ON THE DASH AND THE CAR LOST ALL POWER . I CAME TO A STOP AND SHUT THE CAR OFF AND CHECKED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND IT WAS GOOD. I STARTED THE CAR AGAIN AND IT WOULD REV HIGH BUT BARELY MOVE. I GOT HOME SLOWLY AND PARKED IT AND WHEN I CAME BACK OUT LATER AND TRIED IT, ALL THE POWER WAS BACK AND THE WRENCH WAS GONE AND IT DIDN'T CLUNK INTO GEARS LIKE IT WAS EARLIER. I THINK BY SHUTTING IT OFF AND TAKING OUT THE KEY FOR A COUPLE HOURS RESET A COMPUTER GLITCH IN THIS CAR. I HAVE HEARD MANY STORIES JUST LIKE MINE AND SPEAKING FOR MANY 08 EDGE OWNERS WE WANT THIS RECALLED. THIS COULD RESULT IN TONS OF MECHANIC BILLS AND UNANSWERED ISSUES FOR OWNERS. *TR

ENGINE
WITHOUT ANY WARNING OR CODES, THE CAR STOPPED RUNNING. UPON RESTART THE FAN RAN EXTREMELY FAST AND LOUD. UPON INSPECTION, THE WATER PUMP GASKETS HAD ESSENTIALLY MELTED, ALL COOLANT HAD LEAKED OUT AND THE ENTIRE COOLANT/WATER PUMP SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE FIXED AND REPLACED AT A COST OF MORE THAN $3,000. OF COURSE THE VEHICLE WAS ONLY 8,000 MILES OUT OF WARRANTY. I'VE SEEN AT LEAST ONE OTHER COMPLAINT IDENTICAL TO THIS ONE. IT IS QUOTED HERE: "DISCOVERED MY 2008 EDGE HAS A FAILED WATER PUMP ASY. CAR OVERHEATED DUE TO THIS. ACCORDING TO SEVERAL SEASONED MECHANICS AND FORD, THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN TO THIS CAR WITH THIS AMOUNT OF MILEAGE. THE WAY THIS CAR WAS ENGINEERED, IT IS A $2300+ REPAIR - FOR A WATER PUMP! SPOKE WITH FORD SEVERAL TIMES ASKING FOR THEM TO STEP-UP AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. GOT NO HELP EXCEPT I SHOULD KEEP MY RECEIPTS. VERY DISAPPOINTED IN FORD." *TR

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE VEHICLE STALLS AT LOW SPEEDS AND AT RED LIGHTS AND STOP SIGNS WITHOUT WARNING AND WITHOUT GREAT CONSISTENCY. THIS HAPPENS MULTIPLE TIMES PER DAY/TRIP WITH NO RESOLUTION. DEALER AND INDEPENDENT MECHANIC CANNOT IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM AS NO CODES ARE THROWN WHEN IT HAPPENS AND IT RESTARTS AFTER STALLING. THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
BOUGHT MY 2008 FORD EDGE 3 YEARS AGO WITH NO PROBLEMS. HAD SOME WORK DONE AFTER A WRECK YEAR AND A HALF AGO. AFTER THE REPAIR, IT BEGAN JERKING WHETHER I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY OR CITY STREETS. I NOTICED THAT WHEN IT JERKS, I LOSE RPMS AT THE SAME TIME. I HAVE TO HIT THE GAS TO GET IT TO ACCELERATE. FEELS LIKE THE GEARS ARE SLIPPING AND IT DOESN'T HAPPEN T CONSISTENT SPEEDS. SOME DAYS ARE WORSE THAN OTHERS AND SOME DAYS DOESN'T OCCUR AT ALL. IT WILL ALSO IDLE ROUGH AND HAD BEFORE JERKED WHEN GOING FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE. ALSO, APRIL 2014, I WAS BACKING INTO A PARKING SPOT WHEN THE CAR COMPLETELY DIED. I TURNED THE IGNITION OFF AND THEN STARTED THE CAR AGAIN. IT STARTED RIGHT UP. THAT IS THE ONLY TIME THAT HAS HAPPENED. *TR

POWER TRAIN
AFTER EXITING HWY I WAS SLOWING DOWN AT A STOP LIGHT. AT ABOUT 25 MPH MY DASH LIGHTS LIT UP. WRENCH, TIRE PRESSURE AND AIR BAG LIGHTS ARE LIT. SPEED-O WAS NOT WORKING. AFTER LIGHT TURNED GREEN THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WITHOUT PUSHING GAS TO THE FLOOR AND RPM'S REACHED 5000RPM'S AS I WAS GOING THROUGH A VERY BUSY 4 WAY INTERSECTION. I PULLED OFF TUE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND PUT CAR IN PARK. WHILE SHIFTING BACK INTO DRIVE THE TRANSMISSION DID A VERY LOUD CLUNK AS IT SHIFTED THROUGH REVERSE AND NEUTRAL TO DRIVE. AFTER TURNING CAR OFF AND LETTING SET FOR MANY MINUTES IT NEVER RESET OR RESOLVED IT'S SELF. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SITUATION AND NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED BY FORD ASAP. *TR

POWER TRAIN
MY FAMILY AND I WERE COMING HOME FROM A NICE DAY OUT, WE STOPPED AT THE STOP LIGHT AND WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN WE WENT TO ACCELERATE AND THERE WAS NO POWER, MY DASH LIT UP WITH A LOW TIRE PRESSURE CODE, A WRENCH CODE " AWD/POWERTRAIN ISSUE" AND A AIR BAG CODE MY ODOMETER STOPPED WORKING AND THE DIGITAL MILEAGE ONLY DISPLAYED DASHES. ONCE WE WERE ABLE TO MAKE IT THRU THE LIGHT "BARELY" WE PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHERE WE COULD SAFELY CHECK OUT THE VEHICLE. ONCE WE DETERMINED NO FLAT TIRE WE TRIED TO MOVE FORWARD BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD ONLY CRAWL AND THIS WAS PUTTING THE GAS PEDAL ALL THE WAY DOWN. WE WERE FINALLY ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME WE SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND WHEN WE RESTARTED AND PUT INTO GEAR WE HEARD A LOUD CLUNK AND THE VEHICLE SHOOK AND RATTLED. I RESEARCHED ONLINE I FOUND THIS HAS HAPPENED FREQUENTLY TO MANY OTHER FORD EDGE OWNERS WITH NO SAFETY RECALL FROM FORD ???? THIS IS CRAZY SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE . *TR

POWER TRAIN
I BACKED UP INTO THE STREET LEAVING MY DRIVEWAY, I PUT IT IN DRIVE TO MOVE FORWARD AND WENT ABOUT 50 FEET AND THE CAR JERKED AND WOULD NOT MOVE ANYMORE, I TRIED TO PRESS ON THE ACCELERATOR AND THE CAR WOULD NOT GO. THIS IS NOT AN ACCEPTABLE ISSUE, I FEEL THAT IF MY WIFE WAS IN THE CAR ON THE FREEWAY THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN BAD. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
FROM TIME TO TIME WHILE DRIVING WHEATHER ON A SIDE ROAD OR ON A HIGHWAY IN PARTIULAR AT ACCELERATION THE POWERTRAIN MALFUNCTION/ REDUCED POWER LIGHT COMES ON THEN IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THERE IS AN EXTREME LOSS OF POWER. ACCELERATOR PRESSED TO THE FLOOR WILL ALLOW ACCELERATION BUT WITH VERY MINIMAL TORK. I AM COCERNED THIS CAN LEAD TO A DANGEROUS SITUTATION ESPECIALLY ON A HIGHWAY SETTING. ALSO THE AIR BAG SERVICE LIGHT, LOW TIRE PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT AND THE SERVICED ENGINE SOON LIGHT ALL LIGHT UP. THERE IS ALSO AN ODOMETER READ ERROR, SPEEDOMETER AND TACHOMETER MALFUCTION. THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS VERY ROUGHLY IN AND OUT OF REVERSE AND DRIVE. THIS EVENT GENERALY LAST UNTIL THE VECHICLE IS COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN AND AN APPEARANT RESET OCCURS. THERE IS A PERIOD OF NORMAL OPERATION FOR SOME TIME AND THEN SEEMS TO SPIKE IN CLUSTERS OF EVENTS. *TR
