2008 Ford Edge Complaint Log

WHILE AT A STOP SIGN ON A SMALL SLOPED ROAD, MY VEHICLE ROLLED BACKWARDS WHEN I LET GO OF THE BRAKE TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOPPED POSITION. THERE WERE CHILDREN WALKING BEHIND ME AND I ALMOST ROLLED INTO THEM. IN ADDITION, WHILE PARKED IN A FORWARD POSITION ON A SMALL SLOPED DRIVEWAY, I WAS UNABLE TO DRIVE OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY WITHOUT APPLYING MY FOOT TO THE BRAKE AND THE GAS AT THE SAME TIME. I ALMOST HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I BROUGHT IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THIS IS HOW THE FORD EDGE IS DESIGNED AND THIS IS NORMAL. ESSENTIALLY, I NEED TO HIT THE BRAKE AND GAS WHEN ON A SLIGHT SLOPE. THIS IS VERY DISTURBING AND DANGEROUS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V682000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE) WAS RECEIVED IN DECEMBER OF 2014. AFTER CONTACTING THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE PARTS NEEDED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE WERE STILL NOT AVAILABLE AND NO ESTIMATED TIME FOR RECEIVING THE PARTS COULD BE GIVEN. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKING ONCE THE VEHICLE REACHES A CERTAIN LOW SPEED HAS FAILED TO WORK ON A NUMBER OF OCCASIONS. UNLESS I AM BEING ATTENTIVE ENOUGH TO NOTICE THEY HAVE NOT LOCKED I'M SURE THERE HAS BEEN A NUMBER OF TIMES THE DOORS HAVE BEEN UNLOCKED FOR AN ENTIRE TRIP. I ASSUME THIS WOULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH IF THE DOORS WERE NOT LOCKED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V682000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE); HOWEVER, THE PART NEEDED FOR THE RECALL REPAIR WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED THE FAILURE.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHEN MY SPEEDOMETER AND ODOMETER STOPPED WORKING. THEN IT TOLD ME I HAD A ERROR AND A FAULT IN MY TIRE PRESSURE SYSTEM. MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON, INDICATING THAT IT WAS OFF. I PULLED OVER AND TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE. WHEN I STARTED IT BACK UP ALL THE ERROR MESSAGES CLEARED, BUT WHEN I WENT TO PUT MY CAR INTO DRIVE IT SOUNDED AS IF THE TRANSMISSION HAD DROPPED. I TRIED DRIVING ONLY TO REV THE ENGINE UP TO 3000 RPM WITH BARELY ANY MOVEMENT. WHEN EVER SHIFTING FROM DRIVE OR REVERSE IT MADE THAT LOUD POPPING NOISE. I TOOK IT TO A DEALERSHIP TO BE TOLD IT STOPPED DOING IT BUT THEY DIDN'T FIX IT. THEY MADE NO REPAIRS. THEY ARE LETTING ME PICK THE CAR UP AND DRIVE IT AGAIN WITH OUT ANY ACTUAL RESOLUTION, BUT THEY DID CHARGE ME MONEY TO "LOOK AT THE CAR". DO PEOPLE ACTUALLY HAVE TO DIE FOR SOMEONE TO ISSUE A RECALL? I AM READING THOUSANDS OF REVIEWS ABOUT THE EDGE THAT EXPERIENCES THE SAME PROBLEMS. LETS ISSUE A RECALL AND DEVELOP SOME ACCOUNTABILITY! *TR

WHILE PREPARING TO STOP AT A LIGHT, SEEMED TO HAVE LOST ALL POWER. SPEEDOMETER DROPPED TO ZERO, AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND ODOMETER WAS BLANK WITH A READOUT IN ITS PLACE THAT SAID SOMETHING LIKE ODO FAILURE ALSO THE WRENCH ICON LIT UP. SHIFTED TO PARK AND THE CAR JUMPED AND JERKED AND LOUD GRINDING NOISES CAME FROM TRANSMISSION. WAS ABLE TO CREEP TO A SIDE STREET. TURNED OFF ENGINE . WAITED SEVERAL MINUTES , RESTARTED CAR AND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL RETURNED TO NORMAL. DROVE HOME ABOUT 3 MILES. TOOK IT TO SHOP AND THEY SAID IT WAS A SHAFT SEAL. THEY REPLACED IT FOR $182.00 THE PART WAS $12. GOT HOME AND IT LEAKS VERY BADLY IT HAS LEAKED ABOUT A CUP OF FLUID IN 4 HOURS.(THIS WAS PARKED / NOT RUNNING) I AM TAKING IT BACK TO THE SHOP AND HOPING THEY CAN FIX IT RIGHT. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR OVER 30 YEARS AND NEVER HAD THIS KIND OF PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT FUEL FUMES EMITTED INTO THE VEHICLE. AFTER INSPECTING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT FUEL WAS LEAKING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 08V301000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 107,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE OVERHEATED. THE CONTACT DISCOVERED THAT THERE WAS OIL AND ANTI FREEZE COOLANT LEAKING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

I WAS GETTING INTO THE EXIT LANE ABOUT 50 MPH WHEN MY CAR COMES TO A SUDDEN SLOW DOWN OF ABOUT 5 MPH. LUCKY I WAS ALREADY SLOWING DOWN.COULD HAVE BEEN A BAD SITUATION HAD I NOT BEEN EXITING THE FREEWAY. *TR

DRIVING AROUND 45 MPH IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, HIT THE BRAKES THEN THE GAS TO NO POWER AT ALL I WAS BARELY MOVING IN BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC AND WHEN THE TRAFFIC STARTED MOVING AGAIN I WAS CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF 4 LANES OF TRAFFIC BARELY AT A CRAWL. I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED JUST TRYING TO GET TO THE SHOULDER ! THIS PROBLEM IS JUST AS LIFE THREATENING AS THE LATEST RECALL BECAUSE OF THE BAD KEY/STARTER ISSUE. ARE THEY GOING TO WAIT TO RECALL TILL WE'RE KILLED DRIVING OUR FORD EDGE? AM I THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS NOTICED ALL THE COMPLAINTS JUST THIS YEAR INVOLVING THE 2008 FORD EDGE FOR THIS SAME ISSUE? PLEASE RECALL. *TR

POWER BOOSTER LEAKING. SEEMS TO BEA PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL. *TR

THE VEHICLE SAYS "DRIVER DOOR AJAR" AT RANDOM TIMES WHEN THE DOOR ISN'T ACTUALLY OPEN (FROM DOING NOTHING MORE THAN OPENING AND CLOSING THE DOOR, ROLLING DOWN THE WINDOW, LOCKING THE DOORS, ETC.). WHILE THIS MAY SEEM MORE LIKE A HASSLE THAN A SAFETY ISSUE, IT IS TOO AN ISSUE OF SAFETY. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN "DOOR AJAR" MODE THE DOME LIGHTS COME ON. THIS IS DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN "DOOR AJAR" MODE, THE CAR WILL NOT LOCK. PEOPLE NEED TO BE ABLE TO LOCK THEIR VEHICLE FOR SAFETY REASONS THAT I PROBABLY DON'T NEED TO SPELL OUT. I'VE READ A FEW FORD FORUMS, WITH NUMEROUS PEOPLE DISCUSSING THIS SAME ISSUE. WHY HASN'T THEIR BEEN A RECALL TO ADDRESS THIS? *TR

I SENT AN EMAIL TO THE FORD COMPANY , WE HAVE A 2008 FORD EDGE WE BOUGHT NEW WE HAVE ALWAYS HAD AN ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND THE CAR NOT MOVING UNLESS YOU STOP AND RESTART IT, THE ISSUE WAS SO SPORADIC FROM THE 1ST YEAR THAT WE HAVE HAD IN THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY CANT SEEM TO FIND A PROBLEM, THE CAR WOULD HAVE THE AIR BAG, WRENCH AND LOW TIRE LIGHT ON AND THE ODOMETER WOULD BE ALL DASHES, YOU COULD FLOOR IT AND THE TACH WILL MOVE BUT THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD NOT MOVE AND THE CAR WOULD BARELY MOVE, LATELY THE ISSUE HAS BECOME AN EVERYDAY THING YET STILL THE DEALERSHIP CANT FIND THE PROBLEM,I WAS CHECKING ONLINE AND FOUND THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH THEIR EDGE, MANY VIDEOS SHOWING THE EXACT PROBLEM ,MY FORD DEALER IS LOOKING AT IT AGAIN. WE CAN NOT BE THE ONLY ONE HAVING THIS ISSUE. *TR

TAKATA RECALL. THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL FOR THE AIRBAG ON THIS VEHICLE FOR YEARS AND FORD HAS NOT COME UP WITH A REPLACEMENT FOR IT. IT COULD CAUSE INJURY IF IT GOES OFF AND COULD RESULT IN DEATH. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECTIFIED NOW!

KEPT LOOSING TRANSMISSION FLUID. DEALER TOLD ME POWER TRAIN AT A PRICE OF 1400 + THIS IS A FAULT OF THE EDGE MODEL WITH AWD. *TR

A COUPLE YEARS AGO, EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS WITH MY BRAKING SYSTEM. I WAS DRIVING DOWN A ROAD AND COMING UP TO A LIGHT. UPON BRAKING, THE PEDDLE WAS VERY, VERY STIFF AND HARD TO DEPRESS, THE CAR SHUDDERED A BIT AND BRAKING SEEMED COMPROMISED...I ALMOST FELT LIKE THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP IN TIME TO AVOID SLIDING INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I USED AN INORDINATE AMOUNT OF PRESSURE TO FINALLY GET THE CAR TO STOP. I WAS NEAR HOME AT THE TIME SO I CONTINUED THE LAST COUPLE MILES TO THE HOUSE, BEING CAREFUL TO DRIVE VERY CONSERVATIVELY AND TO ENGAGE THE BRAKE MUCH SOONER THAN USUAL TO MAKE CERTAIN I HAD ENOUGH ROOM TO STOP THE CAR. TOOK THE CAR THE NEXT DAY TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP...AFTER DIAGNOSIS I WAS TOLD THAT THE BRAKE POWER BOOSTER WAS AT FAULT AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. REPAIR WAS APPROXIMATELY $580, IF MEMORY SERVES. I WAS UNHAPPY AT THE TIME OF COURSE BUT, UNTIL I RESEARCHED MY RECENT TRANSMISSION ISSUES, DID NOT REALIZE THAT THIS WAS YET ANOTHER PROBLEM THAT MANY OTHER EDGE OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED. I ALSO DID NOT REALIZE THAT I COULD REGISTER A COMPLAINT VIA NHTSA UNTIL RECENTLY OR I WOULD HAVE SUBMITTED THIS COMPLAINT WHEN THE BRAKE POWER BOOSTER REQUIRED REPLACEMENT. BUT AGAIN, LIKE THE TRANSMISSION ISSUES (NHTSA #10874656), IT SEEMS LIKE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT AFFECTS FORD EDGES TO AN INORDINATE DEGREE AND SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED BY NHTSA AS A POTENTIAL RECALL. THIS DOES NOT SEEM LIKE A REGULAR, EXPECTED 'WEAR AND TEAR' MAINTENANCE ISSUE BUT RATHER A DEFECT THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY THE MANUFACTURER, NOT THE CONSUMER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V682000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

I HAVE ONLY HAD MY EDGE A MONTH, HAD IT CHECKED BUMPER TO BUMPER BEFORE PURCHASE (I WORK AT AN AUTO SHOP) AND READ REVIEWS ONLINE. I WISH I HAD SEEN THESE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION AND HARD SHIFTING/REVVING BEFORE PURCHASE!! AS SOON AS I BOUGHT IT, WITHIN A FEW DAYS WHEN I WOULD LEAVE WORK AND TRY TO ACCELERATE IT HESITATES, CLUNKS LOUDLY, THEN FINALLY CATCHES AND TAKES OFF.. I'VE ALREADY HAD NEW PLUGS/BOOTS/COILS DONE, NEW BELTS AND FLUSHES DONE. YESTERDAY WAS THE WORST - I WAS TAKING OFF FROM A RED LIGHT AND AS I WAS PRESSING THE PEDAL IT REVVED AND JERKED AND BANGED. SO GLAD I HAVEN'T EVEN MADE MY FIRST PAYMENT YET AND SEEING THESE COMPLAINTS, ALREADY KNOW I'M GOING TO BE SINKING MASSIVE MONEY INTO THIS VEHICLE! PLEASE RECALL FORD!!! I'VE DRIVEN CRAPPY CARS MY ENTIRE LIFE, I FINALLY GET SOMETHING THAT LOOKS NICE I SEE IS JUST ANOTHER MONEY PIT LEMON! *TR

DROVE THE CAR TO WORK WITHOUT ANY ISSUE. AFTER WORK, I DROVE TO A NEARBY CONVENIENCE STORE BY MY HOUSE AND HAD NO ISSUE. I LEFT THE STORE AND STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, I STEPPED ON THE GAS PEDAL BUT THE CAR BARELY MOVED AND WAS LABORING. I CHECKED TO MAKE SURE I WASN'T ON THE L GEAR BUT IT WASN'T BECAUSE I WAS ON D. I KEPT PRESSING ON THE GAS AND NOTICED A WRENCH LIGHT ON IN THE DASHBOARD. I MADE IT HOME AT LESS THAN 10 MILES PER HOUR WHICH WAS THE FASTEST THAT THE CAR WOULD GO. *TR

WHEN DRIVING ALL OF A SUDDEN THE TRUCK SPEEDOMETER GOES BLANK, THE ODOMETER DROPS TO ZERO AND THE WRENCH, AIRBAG AND EVENTUALLY THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHTS ILLUMINATE. WHEN PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR THE CAR STRUGGLES TO ACCELERATE BECAUSE IT STARTS LOSING POWER. I THEN HAVE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD, TURN THE CAR OFF AND ALLOW THE CAR TO RESET ITSELF. I TURN THE CAR ON, THE LIGHTS ARE OUT BUT WHEN I TRY TO ACCELERATE THERE IS STILL LITTLE POWER SO I HAVE TO PRESS THE ACCELERATOR TO THE FLOOR AN THEN THE POWER KICKS IN AND THE CAR OPERATES NORMAL. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME 4-5 TIMES, ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS IS A SAFE HAZARD BECAUSE IT CAN POTENTIALLY CAUSE A TRAGIC ACCIDENT. *JS

I HAVE RECEIVING RECALL LETTERS ON MY 2008 FORD EDGE FOR A PASSENGE-SIDE AIRBAG MALFUNCTION SINCE OCTOBER 2014. IT IS NOW NOVEMBER 2016 AND THE LOCAL FORD DEALER TELLS ME THAT THE PART IS STILL NOT AVAILABLE. AT ASSISTANCE IS GREATLY APPRECIATED.

DRIVING THROUGH PARKING LOT WHEN SHIFT BETWEEN GEARS BECOMES VERY ROUGH. ENGINE REVS- BUT CAR HAS NO FORWARD MOVEMENT. WE WERE ABLE TO GET THE CAR IN REVERSE, AND BACK IN TO A PARKING SPACE. WE SHUT THE CAR OFF- TURNED THE CAR BACK ON AND THE ISSUE WAS RESOLVED- STILL SHIFTED A LITTLE HARD. *TR

I HAVE A 2008 FORD EDGE THAT I BOUGHT IN MAY OF 2013. I HAVE BEEN HEARING LOUD GROWLING NOISES FROM THE REAR WHEELS IN THE PAST MONTH (OCT 2014) ALSO THE STEERING SEEMED TO BE EFFECTED BY THE PROBLEM. TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AND HE FOUND BOTH REAR WHEEL BEARING ARE SHOT AT 62000 MILES. THEY NEED TO BE REPLACED OF COURSE BECAUSE THE CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. AFTER HEARING THIS I LOOKED UP OTHER COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER FORD EDGE OWNERS. THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT AND MOST OF THE FAILURES HAVE OCCURRED AROUND THE 55000 - 64000 MILES. FORD KNOWS THERE IS A PROBLEM AND IS DOING NOTHING ABOUT THIS DANGEROUS CONDITION. SHAME ON FORD! SO IT IS COSTING ME $1200.00 AND SOME CHANGE WHICH I CANNOT AFFORD, TO FIX MY CAR. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL, I AM LUCKY THAT THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN WHEN I WAS DRIVING WITH MY CHILDREN AND A WHEEL FELL OFF DOING 65 ON THE HIGHWAY. *TR

BENEATH THE DRIVERS SEAT, THERE IS A LOUD SOUND THAT RESIGNATES THROUGHOUT THE VEHICLE. ALSO THE ELECTRICAL PANEL HAD TO BE REPLACED AND SENSORS GO OFF PERIODICALLY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TAIL LIGHTS HAD TO CONTINUOUSLY BE REPLACED DUE TO THEM MELTING AND BURNING. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

TOOK MY VEHICLE IN EARLY FOR SERVICE AT SUNRISE BECAUSE WAS CONCERNED ABOUT LOUD SCREECHING NOISE ON BRAKES AND ERRATIC BEHAVIOR OF VEHICLE -SURGING. WHEN DRIVING. WHEN THE SERVICE TECH (TROY) OPENED THE HOOD HE ASKED EM TO GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND STAND BACK, AS THE TOP OF THE BATTERY WAS SPATTERED WITH BLACK OIL LOOKING MATERIAL AND APPARENTLY HE AND ANOTHER TECHNICIAN WERE CONCERNED IT MIGHT RUPTURE OR EXPLODE. THEY ASKED EM TO GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE, GIVE THEM THE KEYS AND THAT THEY WOULD CHECK THE VEHICLE AND ASKED ME TO WAIT. ABOUT 90 MINUTES LATER THEY CAME OUT AND SAID ALL WAS FINE, NOTHING WRONG WITH BATTERY OR BRAKES. I LEFT AND DROVE VEHICLE HOME AND SAME PROBLEMS WERE OCCURRING, I RETURNED AND AFTER CALLING AND SAYING SAME THINGS WERE OCCURRING. I HAD HPED TO SPEAK TO [XXX], WHO WAS AN AMAZING SERVICE SUPERVISOR, BUT HE WAS NOT THERE AND ANOTHER MAN WHO WAS RUDE CLAIMED THE BATTERY WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY BUT THAT IT WAS NORMAL TO HAVE OILY SLUDGE ON THE BATTERY . HE SAID IT WAS "NORMAL, BECAUSE IT WAS JUST SWEATING". HE REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING..SAID THE BRAKES NEEDED TO BE AT 3 BEFORE FORD WOULD REPLACE THEM. I ASKED THAT HE CONTACT FORD CORPORATE AND INQUIRE. HE SAID, "NO HE WOULD NOT" THE BATTERY I SHOULD ADD SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN REPEATEDLY REPLACED. I HAVE LIMITED DRIVING THE VEHICLE, EXCEPT FOR SHORT LOCAL TRIPS, AND TONIGHT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AND AAA CLAIMED THE BATTERY WAS DEFECTIVE AND CLEARLY DEAD. IT IS MOST DISTURBING WHEN FORD MISREPRESENTS THEIR WARRANTY AND REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE DEFECTS THAT HAVE BEEN PUBLISHED IN THEIR WON ALERTS. SERIOUSLY DANGEROUS! THERE ARE NUMEROUS POSTINGS OF OTHER FORD EDGE OWNERS HAVING THESE PROBLEMS. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THEIR QUESTIONABLE PROTOCOLS ON DANGERS THAT ARE KNOWN WITH THEIR VEHICLES. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

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

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

VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC AND STEERING LOCKED WHEN TURNING THE CORNER AT INTERSECTION CAUSING LOSS OF CONTROL OF VEHICLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS UNDER RANDOM CONDITIONS. WEATHER CONDITIONS, VEHICLE TEMPERATURE, SPEED, DIRECTION, BRAKING OR ACCELERATION DOES NOT HAVE ANY FACTORS WHEN THIS HAPPENS. THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF RANDOMLY AND POWER IS LOST. NO CODES OR WARNING OF ANY KIND. FORD FACTORY HAS INVESTIGATED, WIRING HARNESS TO THE MASS AIRFLOW SENSOR HAS BEEN REPLACED BUT STILL CONTINUES TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT NOTICED A FUEL ODOR COMING FROM THE VEHICLE AND DISCOVERED THAT FUEL WAS LEAKING. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 170,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, AN EXTREMELY STRONG BURNING ODOR EMITTED INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS, WHO INFORMED THAT THE POWER TRAIN WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 44,243.

HELLO, MY 2008 FORD EDGE IS HAVING A LOT OF TRANSMISSION FRICKING ISSUES !!!! SHIFTING HARD INTO REVERSE AND FROM 1ST TO 2ND !!! *TR

THE VEHICLE REVS UP BUT DOESN'T GO ANYWHERE THEN JERKS INTO GEAR. *TR

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

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

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

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

THIS HAS NOW HAPPENED TO ME TWICE WITH BOTH MY SMALL CHILDREN IN THE CAR WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY, AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. T HE SPEEDOMETER WENT TO 0, THE MAINTENANCE WRENCH DISPLAY LIT UP, ALONG WITH THE ERROR MESSAGE "TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR FAULT" (OR SOMETHING TO THAT EFFECT) AND I WAS UNABLE AFTER STOPPING AT A STOP LIGHT TO ACCELERATE ALMOST CAUSING THE PERSON BEHIND ME TO REAR END ME. ONCE GETTING TO MY HOME WHEN PUTTING THE CAR INTO PARK IT MAKES A LOUD CLUNKING NOISE THEN PROCEEDS TO JERK THE ENTIRE VEHICLE. AFTER LETTING THE CAR SIT FOR AN HOUR I TRIED TO TURN IT ONE ONCE AGAIN AND TEST DRIVING A FEW FEET FORWARD, IT ONLY MOVED AT A SLOW PACE WHEN GAS PEDAL APPLIED. *TR

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

I WAS STOPED AT STOP SIGN MY 2008 FORD EDGE WITH NO SIGNS OF PROBLEMS. WHEN I STARTED TO PULL OUT THERE WAS LOW POWER AND THE WRENCH SIGNAL WENT ON. CAR WOULD NOT GO FASTER THEN 5MPH. I WAS VERY CONCERNED FOR CARS IN BACK OF WERE IMPATIENT AND PASSING. I RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM ON THE INERTNET AND IT SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING WITH ALOT OF THESE MAKE AND MODEL CARS. *TR

LOSS OF POWER TO THE EXTENT OF NEXT TO NO ACCELERATION, TRANSMISSION NOT SHIFTING SMOOTHLY OR CORRECTLY, ODOMETER BLANKS OUT WITH DASHES, SPEEDOMETER QUITS WORKING, AIRBAG LIGHT AND TRANSMISSION WRENCH ILLUMINATE IN THE GAUGE CLUSTER. *TR

HAD BEEN NOTICING LOUD ROARING SOUND FROM RIGHT REAR OF VEHICLE. DROVE FROM OHIO TO FLORIDA (1,000 MILES) & GOT WORSE/LOUDER... TOOK IT TO LOCAL FORD MECHANIC WHO INFORMED KNOWN ISSUE IN THESE CARS IS THE REAR WHEEL HUB ASSEMBLY FAILS, ONCE REPLACED JUST FAILS AGAIN. NOISE IS INCREDIBLY NOTICEABLE AND NOT JUST ANNOYING BUT SCARY TO ME & ANY PASSENGERS. OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT, TICKED FORD'S NOT COVERING IT. *TR

DRIVING HOME WITH 2 BABIES UNDER THE AGE OF 3 IN MY CAR THE AIRBAG AND WRENCH LIGHT FLASHED AND ODOMETER HAD DASHES. CAR BEGAN TO LOSE POWER I COULD NOT ACCELERATE. TURNED THE CAR OFF WENT TO PUT IT INTO REVERSE AND THE WHOLE CAR JUMPED. I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS BEFORE WITH THE CAR JERKING WHEN GOING LOW SPEEDS. THIS IS SO BAD. CAN NOT PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE WITHOUT A LOUD CLUNK. *TR

WHILE DRIVING DOWN VAN BORN ROAD (HEAVY TRAFFIC) THE SPEEDOMETER STOPPED AND WENT TO 0 MPH, THE ODOMETER READ DASHES, THE WRENCH ILLUMINATED IN THE CORNER, AND THE AIRBAG WARNING SIGN APPEARED. THE RPM'S IN MY VEHICLE BEGAN TO CLIMB HIGHER AS WELL AND THE CAR SPEEDOMETER DID NOT INDICATE ANY MPH AND BEGAN TO DECREASE, AFTER SLOWING DOWN AT TA RED LIGHT I NOTICED MY CAR WOULD BARELY MOVE AND IT SLOWLY CREPT UNTIL I GOT HOME 1/2 MILE FROM WHEN I NOTICED THE PROBLEM START. AS SOON AS I PARKED OTHER WARNING LIGHTS BEGAN FLASHING SUCH AS THE TIRE PRESSURE SIGN. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND THEN BACK ON AND I EXPERIENCED A HARD START, WHICH WAS LOUD, AND WHEN I WENT TO CHANGE GEARS THE CAR JERKED VIOLENTLY AS IF THE MOTOR WAS JUMPING. WHEN PLACING IN REVERSE GEAR THE JERK WAS EVEN MORE VIOLENT, LOUD NOISE AS IF THE ENGINE WAS DROPPING OUT OR I WAS BEING REAR ENDED. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON TO SEE IF THE WARNING SIGNALS WERE STILL ILLUMINATED AND THEY RESET. WHEN TRYING TO SEE IF THE CAR WOULD MOVE I HAD TO PUSH THE GAS PEDAL ALMOST ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR BEFORE THE CAR WOULD EVEN MOVE A LITTLE BIT AND AGAIN THE RPM'S REVVED REALLY HIGH. I ENDED UP CALLING A TOW TRUCK THIS MORNING 8/20/14 AND THEY STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS TRYING TO SKIP FIRST GEAR AND GO DIRECTLY TO SECOND GEAR; MY CAR IS CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP. PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT I EXPERIENCED OCCASIONAL JERKING WHILE DRIVING AND THE CAR WAS SWITCHING GEARS. IT WAS VERY SCARY BEING A FEMALE AND NOT KNOWING MUCH ABOUT MECHANICS. ONLY 49,000 MILES. *TR

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

GAUGES ON DASH STOP WORKING. TOOL SYMBOL SHOWS UP ALSO TIRE PRESSURE WARNING AND EXCLAMATION MARK. CARSTARTS TO SLOW DOWN. WHEN CAR IS PUT IN REVERSE IT MAKES A LOUD CLUCKING NOISE. LIKE THE MOTOR IS GONNA FALL OUT. CAN'T DRIVE IT FORWARD BUT U CAN GO IN REVERSE. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. IF YOU LET THE CAR SIT FOR A FEW DAYS IT GOES BACK TO NORMAL. THIS HAS TO BE A SERIOUS PROBLEM BECAUSE LOTS OF PEOPLE ON YOUTUBE HAVE POSTED VIDEOS OF THE SAME PROBLEM! NOW I'M STUCK OVER 100 MILES AWAY FROM HOME. NOT COOL FORD!!!!! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE SERVICE ENGINE AND SEAT BELT SENSORS SUDDENLY ILLUMINATED. A MESSAGE DISPLAYED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL INDICATING "DATA ERROR". THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE SPEEDOMETER STOPPED OPERATING DURING THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE OPERATED NORMALLY ONCE THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURES SOON RECURRED. THE DEALER STATED THAT MULTIPLE SENSORS WERE FAULTY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 64,000.

DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT NIGHT AT APPROX. 70 MPH. ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON IN THE DASH. THE SPEEDO AND ODOMETER STOPPED WORKING. NO NOISE OR VIBRATIONS NOTED. PULLED OFF EXIT AND STOPPED AT STOP SIGN. CAR WOULD NOT MOVE AFTER PRESSING ACCELERATOR. RPMS VERY HIGH AND CAR BEGAN TO ROLL FORWARD. EVENTUALLY GOT UP TO 20MPH. STOPPED IN PARKING LOT. SHUT CAR OFF FOR A FEW MINUTES. RESTARTED CAR AND PUT INTO REVERSE. LOUD BANG AND SHUDDER. FELT LIKE TRANSMISSION WAS GOING TO EXPLODE. BACKED UP, PUT CAR IN DRIVE, SAME VIOLENT REACTION FROM TRANSMISSION. DROVE TO DESTINATION AND PARKED OVERNIGHT. NEXT MORNING ALL WAS FINE. TRANSMISSION APPEARED TO FUNCTION NORMALLY AND ALL DASH INSTRUMENTATION WAS WORKING. OCCURRED IN SUMMER OF 2014.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING INSPECTED, IT WAS FOUND THAT THERE WAS A FUEL LEAK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED WHO INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 08V301000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

THE BRAKE BOOSTER FAILED MAKING THE VEHICLE VERY SLOW TO RESPOND TO STOPPING. HAD THE NEED FOR A EMERGENCY STOP OCCURRED THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT. I AM TOLD BY THE MECHANIC THAT REPAIRED THE VEHICLE THAT THIS PART RARELY FAILS AND NOT IN A VEHICLE WITH SO FEW MILES RELATIVE TO THE PART. *TR
