EXTERIOR LIGHTING
RIGHT REAR TURN SIGNAL WAS NOT WORKING. WHEN I WENT TO REPLACE THE BULB, I NOTICED THE BASE OF THE BULB HAD MELTED, THE SOCKET WAS SLIGHTLY DEFORMED AND DISCOLORED WITH SOOT. I CHECKED ONLINE AND FOUND SEVERAL HUNDRED POSTINGS OF THE SAME PROBLEM WITH FORD EDGE CARS FROM MANY DIFFERENT MODEL YEARS. CURIOUS HOW MANY IT TAKES FOR A RECALL. *TR

TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO BE A ISSUE WITH THE FORD EDGE. WHY HAS THERE NOT BEEN A RECALL ON THIS PRODUCT? SO MANY COMPLAINTS ON THE FORD EDGE TRANSMISSION. I WITNESS THIS FIRST HAND, MAY 2, 2014. WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGH WAY, MY CAR OUT OF KNOW WHERE SEEM TO HAVE LOST POWER. THE ONLY THING THAT WAS MOVING WAS THE RPM, BUT THE CAR WAS SLOWING DOWN. FINALLY AFTER PULLING TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY, AND TURNING THE CAR OFF, IT RESET SOME HOW AND AT LEAST GOT ME TO WORK. I HAD TO GET THE CAR TOWED FROM WORK BACK HOME BECAUSE I DID NOT WANT TO RUN INTO THE SAME ISSUE. I DID RESEARCH AND SEEMS LIKE I HAVE NOT BEEN THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS ISSUE. MATTER OF FACT THERE IS A LONG LIST ON YOU TUBE. WHAT HAS FORD DONE TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE. OTHER THAN REPEATEDLY TAKING INCOME FROM HARD WORKING CONSUMERS, FOR A ISSUE THAT HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. *TR

POWER TRAIN
THE CAR SEEMS TO RUN FINE IN TOWN. IF IT IS DRIVEN ABOUT 20 MILES OR SO ON THE HIGHWAY, IT DEVELOPS THE FOLLOWING DRIVE TRAIN PROBLEM. WHEN THE VEHICLE SLOWS OR COMES TO A STOP AND THE DRIVER THEN ACCELERATES, SUCH AS WHEN DRIVING IN STOP-AND-GO TRAFFIC ON THE FREEWAY OR LEAVING A STOP LIGHT, IT SEEMS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION AND ENGINE QUIT TALKING TO EACH OTHER AND THEY COME UNCOUPLED DURING SHIFTING. SINCE THE GAS PEDAL IS DEPRESSED FOR ACCELERATING, DURING THE SHIFT, THE ENGINE RPM REVS UP TO PERHAPS 3000 AND THEN THE TRANSMISSION ABRUPTLY SHIFTS RESULTING IN A HEAVY SHOCK TO THE DRIVE LINE. IT DOES THIS BETWEEN EACH GEAR DURING ACCELERATION UPSHIFTING. IF THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED AND THE TRANSMISSION IS SHIFTED INTO REVERSE, THERE IS A DELAY AND THEN IT SHIFTS INTO REVERSE RESULTING IN A SIMILAR HEAVY SHOCK. I HAD SEVERAL OCCURRENCES WHERE I CAME OFF THE FREEWAY AND STOPPED AT THE LIGHT AND UPON ATTEMPTING TO GET GOING AGAIN, THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING AND WOULD REV UP BUT THE TRANSMISSION WAS NOT ENGAGED. I SHIFTED INTO PARK AND BACK INTO DRIVE AND THE VEHICLE FINALLY GOT GOING AGAIN WITH THE SAME SYMPTOMS NOTED ABOVE. IT SEEMS TO REACT THE SAME REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE OD IS ENGAGED OR DISENGAGED. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO ONE OF THE LOCAL FORD STORES SEVERAL WEEKS AGO AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT RECREATE THE SYMPTOMS. I TOOK IT TO A DIFFERENT SERVICE DEPARTMENT PERHAPS A MONTH LATER AND THEY COULD NOT FIND A REAL PROBLEM BUT SAID ALL THE CODES WERE FINE. THEY DELETED THE ADAPTIVE TRANSMISSION FILES AND UPLOADED NEW FILES AND THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE NOT SURE WHAT THEY DID TO FIX IT. A LENGTHY DRIVE A DAY LATER WENT WELL, NO PROBLEMS. BUT ON THE WAY INTO WORK IN ON APRIL 3RD THE SAME PROBLEMS ARE BACK. IT'S BACK IN THE SHOP AGAIN APRIL 7TH. NOT SURE WHAT'S NEXT. MAYBE THE FACTORY CAN OFFER ADVICE? THANKS *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, POWER TRAIN
MY WIFE AND I WERE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ON. AT RANDOM THE CARE KICKED OUT ON CRUISE AND THE SPEEDOMETER WAS NOT WORKING, WE ALSO HAD TIRE PRESSURE WARNING, ENGINE SERVICE WARNING, AIR BAG WARNING AND NO ODOMETER. WE MADE IT TO THE FREEWAY EXIST, HOWEVER WHEN WE WENT TO ACCELERATE THE CAR BARELY MOVED. THE ENGINE WOULD REV AT HIGH RPM'S BUT WOULD JUST CRAWL. WE MADE IT TO OUR HOUSE (BARELY) AND PARKED THE CAR. THE SHIFT INTO PARK WAS VERY VIOLENT AND MADE THE CARE JUMP. WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE I WOULD SHIFT FROM P TO N, THEN N TO R, THEN R TO D AND SAME ORDER BACK TO PARK. EACH CHANGE WAS VERY VIOLENT. I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF, LET IT SIT FOR ABOUT 1 MINUTE, TURNED THE CAR BACK ON AND THE WARNING LIGHTS WERE GONE AND THE ODOMETER WAS BACK TO NORMAL. HOWEVER, WHEN I WENT TO DRIVE AGAIN THE SHIFT WAS STILL VIOLENT, I HAD NOT POWER (HIGH REV AND BARELY MOVED) AND NO SPEEDOMETER. THE CAR IS CURRENTLY IN MY DRIVEWAY WITH THAT BEING THE CURRENT STATE. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND THIS APPEAR TO BE A VERY COMMON ISSUE FOR THESE VEHICLES. *TR

POWER TRAIN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
AFTER STARTING CAR, VEHICLE MADE LOUD CLUNK SOUND WHEN PUT IN REVERSE. CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WITHOUT PRESSING ACCELERATOR MORE THAN USUAL AND ENGINE REVVED HIGH. DASH BOARD WENT BLANK EXCEPT FOR WRENCH SYMBOL, AIRBAG SYMBOL AND ODOMETER HAD ALL DASHES. TURNED CAR OFF, WAITED A FEW MINUTES, TURNED CAR BACK ON AND EVERYTHING WAS BACK TO NORMAL, CAR DROVE FINE. THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 5 TIMES WITHIN THE PAST 3 YEARS, SEVERAL MONTHS APART. HAVE ALSO HAD TO REPLACE REAR TAIL LIGHTS MULTIPLE TIMES, SOMETIMES WITHIN 2 DAYS OF REPLACEMENT. HAVE TAKEN CAR TO FORD SERVICE, BUT THEY CAN'T PINPOINT PROBLEM. NOW CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY. SEEMS LIKE IT COULD BE ELECTRICAL OR SENSORS. HAVE READ AND SEEN VIDEOS OF MANY OTHERS WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL. WISH FORD WOULD HELP OWNERS LIKE OURSELVES WITH A RECALL TO FIX THIS, AS OUR LOYALTY HAS GONE AWAY WITH FRUSTRATION. HAVE JUST TODAY, 03/27/14 HAD MY CAR TOWED TO REPAIR SHOP TO CHECK TRANSMISSION. THE DASHBOARD HAS RETURNED TO NORMAL, BUT LOUD CLUNK WHEN SHIFTING AND WILL NOT ACCELERATE WITHOUT FLOORING IT. *TR
