2008 Ford Edge Complaint Log

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT SMELLED FUEL AND DISCOVERED FUEL LEAKING UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 76,000. UPDATED 9/19/14*CN THE CONUSMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS AWAITING PARTS IN ORDER TO BE REPAIRED. UPDATED 02/12/2015 *JS

I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE AND HEARD A LOUD THUMP THUMP AND THOUGHT I BACKED INTO AN OBJECT, BUT DID NOT. WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE, THERE WAS LITTLE ACCELERATION EVEN THOUGH I HAD THE ACCELERATOR TO THE FLOOR. I CONTINUED ON AND AFTER A LITTLE WHILE, ABOUT 2 MILES, THE CAR RAN ALRIGHT AND I MADE IT HOME SAFELY. I IMMEDIATELY CONTACTED THE FORD DEALERSHIP IN TOWN, AND DROPPED THE VEHICLE OFF THIS MORNING 7/29/2014. *JS

LEFT REAR TURN/TAIL LIGHT IS CONTINUALLY NOT WORKING. I REPLACE THE BULB, THINKING THAT WOULD CORRECT THE ISSUE BUT AS IT TURNED THE BULB MELTED INTO THE SOCKET WHICH HAD TO BE REPLACED. I'VE REPLACED THE SOCKET/CONNECTOR 2X AND NOW IT'S LOOKS LIKE REPLACEMENT #3 IS INEVITABLE. I RESEARCHED THE INTERNET FOR SIMILAR COMPLAINTS AND FOUND SEVERAL POSTINGS OF THE SAME PROBLEM. CAN ANYONE TELL ME IF THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE? IF NOT, THERE SHOULD BE ONE! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE REVERSING, THE BRAKES FAILED TO ENGAGE AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKE HAD TO BE ENGAGED TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE POWER BOOSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 75,000.

2008 FORD EDGE: I WAS STOPPED AT AN INTERSECTION PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC AFTER DRIVING NORMALLY FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES. WHEN I HIT THE ACCELERATOR THEIR WAS NO POWER AND THE CAR INCHED FORWARD AT LOW SPEED AND THE RPMS INCREASED DRAMATICALLY. I WAS ABLE TO HIT THE BRAKE BEFORE AN ONCOMING VEHICLE ALMOST HIT MY DRIVERS SIDE AS I WAS ATTEMPTING TO TAKE A LEFT. ONCE I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER IN A SAFE LOCATION, I PUT IT IN PARK AND TRIED TO RE-ENGAGE THE TRANSMISSION IN DRIVE. THE VEHICLE WAS STILL UNRESPONSIVE, NO POWER TO ACCELERATE. I THEN SHUT OFF THE CAR AND RESTARTED AND THE CAR BEHAVED NORMALLY AFTER THE RESTART. I HAVE HAD THIS CAR FOR 3 YEARS WITH NO SIMILAR ISSUES. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE THERE IS NO WARNING SIGN AND THE CAR DOES NOT ACCELERATE AS EXPECTED. I WAS LUCKY THAT I WAS ABLE TO STOP IN TIME WITHOUT GETTING HIT BY THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC. *TR

WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE THE POWER TRAIN PROBLEM INDICATOR LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON AND THE CAR LOSES ALL POWER. CAR WILL NOT EXCEED 900 RPM AND WILL BARELY MOVE. I HAD THE TROUBLE CODES READ AND IT IS INDICATING THAT THE THROTTLE IS SHOWING STUCK CLOSED AND OPEN. I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE AS WITH SEVERAL OTHER FORD MODELS AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN PART OF THE EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT COVERED THE THROTTLE BODIES FROM SEVERAL OTHER MODELS. THIS ISSUE POSES A SERIOUS SAFETY RISK DO TO THE FACT THAT IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, IF THIS WERE TO HAPPEN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC IT COULD BE HORRIBLE. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM EXTENSIVELY ONLINE AND FOUND THAT IT IS A FAIRLY COMMON ISSUE WITH THE EDGE. *TR

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

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY 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 SPEED BEGAN TO DECREASE, AGAIN I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY. I GOT OFF AN EXIT ABOUT 1.5 MILES FROM WHEN I NOTICED THE PROBLEM START. AFTER SLOWING DOWN AT THE END OF THE EXIT I NOTICED MY CAR WOULD BARELY MOVE AND IT SLOWLY CREPT UNTIL I WAS AT A SAFE SPOT TO PARK. AS SOON AS I PARKED OTHER WARNING LIGHTS BEGAN FLASHING SUCH AS THE TIRE PRESSURE SIGN AND ANOTHER THAT I CAN NOT REMEMBER. 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 AS IF I WAS BEING REAR ENDED. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON MULTIPLE TIMES AND CHANGED THE GEARS AND EACH TIME IT DID THE SAME THING. 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 AND MY CAR IS CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP. PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT I EXPERIENCED OCCASIONAL JERKING WHILE DRIVING AND THE CAR WAS SWITCHING GEARS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT NOTICED A STRONG FUEL ODOR OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THERE WAS A LEAK AT THE SEAM OF THE FUEL TANK AND THE FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE PART NEEDED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 95,000.

THREE DAYS AFTER PASSING MY ANNUAL TEXAS STATE INSPECTION WHILE DRIVING THROUGH TOWN I INITIATED MY LEFT TURN SIGNAL ONLY TO HAVE THE INDICATOR BLINK VERY QUICKLY (NOT THE NORMAL TICK-TICK-TICK BLINK). THIS HAD HAPPENED A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO SO I KNEW ONE OF THE BULBS HAD BURNED OUT ON THE LEFT SIDE. I WENT TO THE LOCAL AUTO PARTS STORE, PURCHASED REPLACEMENT TAIL LIGHT BULBS & BULB GREASE AND ASKED IF THEY COULD CHANGE IT OUT FOR ME. UPON REMOVING THE COVERS, THE YOUNG MAN DISCOVERED A FRIED/MELTED ASSEMBLY. THERE IS NO WAY TO REMOVE THE BULB IT IS SO MELTED IN THE SOCKET AND THE SOCKET IS DISCOLORED FROM THE HEAT. THAT MUST HAVE BEEN SOME POWER SURGE TO DO THAT KIND OF DAMAGE. *TR

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V384000 (AIR BAGS); 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. DANA FORD IN STANTON ISLAND, NEW YORK WAS MADE AWARE OF THE RECALL AND STATED THAT THE PARTS WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT SMELLED A FUEL ODOR INSIDE AND AROUND THE VEHICLE. AFTER INSPECTING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE FUEL TANK WAS LEAKING. THE DEALER STATED THAT THERE WERE TWO LEAKS ON THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

ENTERING HIGHWAY AND AUTO WOULD NOT SHIFT GEARS OR ACCELERATE. STAYED IDLE AT OVER 5 RPM'S AND HAD TO PULL OFF THE ROAD. SEEMED LIKE A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. TOWED TO REPAIR SHOP FOR ASSESSMENT.STILL AT SHOP. THIS VEHICLE ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS BEFORE THIS INCIDENT HAS REGULARLY ENGAGED IN A VIOLENT JERK WHEN I HAVE ENGAGED IT IN DRIVE OR REVERSE. SEEMS LIKE A TRANSMISSION ISSUE BUT DEALER WONT DO ANYTHING UNLESS THEY CAN DUPLICATE PROBLEM. I HAVE SEEN AND KNOW OF NUMEROUS OTHER FORD EDGE OWNERS THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE AND NO FIX HAS BEEN FOUND OR DEALER AND FORD WONT FIX UNLESS IT DUPLICATED THE ISSUE WHILE THEY HAVE THE VEHICLE AND MOST TIMES ITS SOMETHING NOT COVERED. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND THEY NEED TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. *JS

THE "DRIVER DOOR AJAR" MESSAGE CONTINUES TO GO OFF ON OUR 2008 FORD EDGE. THE DOOR IS SECURELY CLOSED. THE LIGHTS WILL STAY ON FINALLY CAUSING A COMPLETE DRAIN ON OUR BATTERY LAST NIGHT DURING THE NIGHT. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY CONCERN AS THE DOORS DO NOT LOCK SOMETIME UNTIL SEVERAL MILES DOWN THE ROAD. WE COULD ALSO BE LEFT STRANDED SOMEWHERE AS WE NEVER KNOW WHEN IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN. WE GO TO BED ALL LIGHTS ARE OFF AND SOMETIME DURING THE NIGHT THEY COME ON. WE HAVE TRIED SEVERAL SUGGESTIONS REGARDING ENGINE LUBRICANT ON THE PLUNGER, BUT IT IS A TEMP FIX AT BEST. THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE IT FIXED BY FORD. CLEARLY IF YOU DO RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH THE FORD EDGES FOR SEVERAL YEARS.

FUEL TANK LARGE LEAKAGE IN THE AREA OF AN POSSIBLY IGNITION SOURCE. LEAKAGE ON ELECTRICAL WIRES, COULD CAUSE FIRE. UNABLE TO DRIVE SAFE. *TR

I OWN A 2008 FORD EDGE. RECENTLY I NOTICED MY EDGE HAVING A HARD TIME SHIFTING INTO FAST MODE. I TOOK IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP, NOTHING IS WRONG. TODAY IT WAS HORRIBLE!!! I GET TO THE STOP LIGHT, MY EDGE WOULD NOT "TAKE OFF" LIKE THE OTHER CARS. I SAT THERE EMBARRASSED FOR TWO MINS TRYING TO PRESS THE ACCELERATOR, EDGE FINALLY JERKED AND THEN TOOK OFF. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN FORD. I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY HAVE NOT RECALLED THIS EDGE. NOW, I HAVE TO PAY TO GET EDGE FIXED WHEN FORD COULD FIX THE ISSUE,. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS VEHICLE. *TR

I SEE SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON YOUR WEB SITE, ABOUT ROUGH SHIFTING INTO REVERSE FROM THE PARKED POSITION AND WHEN BACKING UP FROM THE DRIVE POSITION. IS THERE A PLANED RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE? *TR

I HAVE A 2008 FORD EDGE SEL. WHEN TURNING ON MY LEFT BLINKER IT WAS BLINKING RAPIDLY WHICH I KNEW INDICATED A LIGHT WAS OUT. I FOUND THAT IT WAS MY DRIVER SIDE REAR BLINKER/TAIL LIGHT. I WENT TO THE STORE AND PURCHASED THE BULB. WHEN I GOT HOME TO REPLACE IT I FOUND THAT I COULD NOT REMOVE THE BULB AS THE SOCKET HAS MELTED. I SEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND THAT THIS IS COMMON FOR THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE. *TR

RIGHT BRAKE LIGHT AND TURN SIGNAL KEEP BLOWING AND LOOK BURNT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD EDGE. EVERY TIME THE CONTACT WALKED BY THE VEHICLE, SHE SMELLED FUEL. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC STATED THAT THERE WAS A LEAK IN THE FUEL TANK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 81,000.

REAR BULBS FAILURE CHANGED 4 TIMES SINCE 6/01/2014 LAST CHANGE 10/24/2014 BOTH SOCKETS BLACK AND BURNED HAVEN'T CHANGED SOCKETS. *TR

TAKATA RECALL. THIS IS A 2008 VEHICLE ITS 10 YEARS OLD .....THIS RECALL HAS BEEN YEARS AND THERE IS NO REMEDY. I DRIVE MY 81 YEAR OLD MOTHER AROUND AND AM FEARFUL FOR HER SAFEY. SITTING IN THE BACK SEAT IS NOT A SOLUTION. I WANT IT RESOLVED IMMEDIATELY, I HAVE WAITED LONG ENOUGH. FORD SHOULD FIX IT OR REPLACE MY VEHICLE WITH A SAFE ONE.

AFTER NEARLY 6 YEARS I THOUGHT I WOULD CHANGE THE BRAKES.WIFE WAS HEARING A GRINDING NOISE. I THOUGHT WE WERE WE'LL OVERDO ON THEM ANYWAYS. WHEN I WENT TO CHANGE THEM I WAS INSPECTING THEM AND FOUND THE PASSENGER SIDE PADS WERE BARELY WORN THEY LOOKED ALMOST NEW. THE DRIVER SIDE OUTER PAD LOOKED THE SAME PRACTICALLY NEW THE INNER PAD ON THE DRIVERS SIDE WAS WORN DOWN TO ABOUT 1/16 TO THE END OF THE PAD I FEEL THIS WARRANTS SOME KIND OF ACTION ON BEHALF OF FORD THANKS. *TR

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

MAKING A LEFT TURN USING MY TURN SIGNAL, THE TURN SIGNAL LAMP ON THE DASHBOARD STARTED TO FLASH VERY RAPIDLY. I RECOGNIZED THIS AS A BURNED-OUT LAMP. AFTER STOPPING I CHECKED TO FIND THE LEFT REAR LAMP WAS NOT BLINKING. THE BASIC RUNNING LIGHT WORKED HOWEVER. UPON REMOVING THE ASSEMBLY, I FOUND THE LAMP SOCKET PARTIALLY MELTED AND CHARRED. I REMOVED THE LAMP, WHICH TESTED OUT TO BE GOOD. THE SOCKET HAD FAILED. I THEN REMOVED THE RIGHT-HAND REAR LAMP ASSEMBLY AND FOUND THAT IT HAS BEEN VERY HOT AS WAS SOMEWHAT CHARRED. I WILL REPLACE BOTH. *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

IN MAY, I WAS TRAVELING AT 55 MILES AN HOURS, WHEN MY CAR LURCHED FORWARD AND ALL THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS CAME ON. THE SPEEDOMETER STOPPED SHOWING MY SPEED, THE RPM'S MAXED OUT, LOST ALL LOW GEARS, AND THE ACCELERATOR WAS NOT RESPONDING PROPERLY. I WENT AND HAD THE TRANSMISSION LOOKED AT AND THE OIL CHANGED, ENGINE FLUSHED, ETC. SEVERAL WEEKS LATER I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. AFTER A SHORT TIME THE CAR STARTED RESPONDING PROPERLY AGAIN. ON 11/14/2014, I WAS TRAVELING AT 60 MPH AND EXPERIENCED THE SAME THING FOR THE 3RD TIME. ONCE I GOT TO A SAFE LOCATION I PULLED OVER. WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN PARK IT MADE A TERRIBLE NOISE. I CALLED ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE TO TOW THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP HAS SAID IT IS THE TRANSMISSION BUT HAVE YET TO DETERMINE THE EXACT PROBLEM. I DO NOT FEEL THE POWER TRAIN OF THIS VEHICLE IS SAFE! OTHER PROBLEMS THAT HAVE OCCURRED SINCE OWNING THE VEHICLE: LUNGING AT RED LIGHTS WHEN BRAKES ARE ENGAGED (SOMETIMES FEELS LIKE I HAVE BEEN REAR ENDED), ELECTRICAL RUNNING TO REAR LIGHTS IS MELTED, EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF CORROSION ON THE BATTERY CABLES, REAR WHEELS/BRAKES GROWLING CAUSING EXCESSIVE WEAR ON BRAKES (BRAKES WENT OUT COMING TO A STOP SIGN ONE DAY), RADIATOR FAN PROBLEMS, FAILURE OF THE COOLANT FAN 2 TIMES AND WAS REPLACED, TUBING FOR WINDSHIELD SPRAY ERODED. *TR

DRIVERS SIDE REAR TURN SIGNAL BULB BURNT OUT. WHEN REPLACED IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT BOTH REAR LIGHT SOCKETS WERE BURNT BLACK AND BEGINNING TO MELT. THE MECHANIC REPLACING THE BULBS INFORMED ME THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH FORD EDGES. *JS

WRENCH LIGHT AND AIRBAG LIGHT ON, LOST ACCELERATION ON INCOMING TRAFFIC, VIOLENT JERK WHEN SWITCHING FROM DRIVE TO PARK AND VICE VERSA. MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ALL OVER THE INTERNET WITH SAME ISSUE. ACTS LIKE A TRANSMISSION ISSUE WHEN IT'S JUST FAULTY SENSOR TSS AND OR OSS SENSOR NEEDS REPLACEMENT TO FIX THE ISSUE. *TR

THE REAR TAIL LIGHT SOCKETS FOR THE TAIL/BRAKE LIGHT LAMPS ARE BADLY BURNED ON BOTH SIDES. WE NOTICED THE PROBLEM WHEN WE CHANGED THE TAIL LIGHT HOUSING DUE TO WATER VAPOR BUILD UP. ONLY THE RIGHT SIDE HAD THE VISIBLE WATER VAPOR. BOTH SIDES HAD THE BURNED LAMP SOCKETS. THE CAR WAS PURCHASED USED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE AT A COMPLETE STOP, THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR, THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM, AND AIR BAG WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE LOST ACCELERATION POWER AND FAILED TO SHIFT GEARS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 72,000.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2008 FORD EDGE IT WOULD NOT SHIFT THAN A LOUD BANG AND SLAMMED INTO GEAR ,WENT FOR A SHORT TIME THEN WOULD NOT SHIFT LIGHTS CAME ON DASH BOARD TECH REVED UP NO SPEEDOMETER. *TT

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

A 1995 LANDROVER RAN A STOPLIGHT AND T-BONED MY VEHICLE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. A SECOND CAR HIT THE BACK OF MY CAR.

NOISE COMING FROM THE RIGHT, REAR WHEEL AREA AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. SOUNDS LIKE A LIGHT RUMBLE STRIP SOUND AND A LIGHT SQUEALING/GRINDING ALSO. TOOK IT TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHO SAYS THE BEARINGS ARE BAD. FORD NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE. IT'S SEEMS TO BE AN EXISTING PROBLEM ON THESE EDGES AND RECURRING PROBLEMS AS WELL. *TR

EXITS OFF HIGHWAY, CAR ENGINE BEGINS TO STALL. CAR WAS TAKING TO SHOP FOR REPAIR CAR CONTINUES TO STALL, ENGINE IS IN, AND THERE IS A CODE OF A FUEL SYSTEM PROBLEM. *TR

I HAVE A 2008 FORD EDGE. WE WERE OVER AN HOUR AWAY FROM HOME, ON A SUNDAY, WHEN WE STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT AND WHEN I WAS TAKING OFF, THE VEHICLE WOULD REV BUT NOT GO, THEN WHEN IT DID ENGAGE, THERE WAS A HARD THUD TWICE. I WAS REALLY AFRAID THAT WE MIGHT NOT MAKE IT BACK HOME AS WELL AS MAKING IT THROUGH THE INTERSECTION. WE DID MAKE IT HOME WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT THAT DAY. I MADE AN APPT TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT I PURCHASED IT FROM ON WEDNESDAY. THERE WERE NO INCIDENTS UNTIL TUESDAY NIGHT WHEN WE WERE COMING HOME FROM THE GROCERY STORE. FROM A STOP AT A STOP SIGN IT DID THE SAME THING, BUT NOT A HARD. THE DEALERSHIP WAS UNABLE TO PULL ANY CODES OR GET IT TO ACT UP THAT FIRST DAY. I ASKED THEM TO KEEP IT AND TO TRY ONCE AGAIN. IT DID ACT UP FOR THE GUY, BUT THEY COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS GOING ON. THEY RECOMMENDED THAT I TAKE IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF THEY COULD FIGURE IT OUT. I TOOK IT IN TODAY AND THEY CALLED TO TELL ME THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO PULL ANY CODES OR GET IT TO ACT UP. SO NOW I AM PAYING THEM $135 JUST TO TELL ME THE SAME THING THE OTHER DEALERSHIP DIDN'T CHARGE ME FOR. ON TOP OF THAT, I DRIVE 45 MILES ROUND TRIP TO WORK 5 DAYS A WEEK AND AM AFRAID OF THIS HAPPENING ON THE BUSY INTERSTATE THAT I TRAVEL OR HAPPENING AT A BUSY INTERSECTION. I HAVE READ MANY STATEMENTS BY PEOPLE AND IT SEEMS THEY ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THE SAME RESULTS...NOTHING! FORD NEEDS TO STEP UP AND MAKE SURE THE PEOPLE WHO BUY THEIR VEHICLES ARE HAPPY AND WILL RETURN. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THE SERVICE PEOPLE CAN'T FIX IT WITHOUT A CODE OR EVEN FIGURE OUT WHAT'S GOING ON. THIS IS A SCARY THING AND I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO PAY PEOPLE TO TELL ME NOTHING! AND THEN WHAT HAPPENS WHEN MY WARRANTY ENDS?! MY BIGGEST CONCERN IS SAFETY. THERE ARE TOO MANY PEOPLE WRITING ABOUT THE SAME THING HAPPENING. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED TO 5 MPH TO 10 MPH. THE WRENCH WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE ODOMETER READING REDUCED TO ZERO. THE ENGINE REVVED RAPIDLY. THE VEHICLE ALSO BACKFIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS MANEUVERED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHERE THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF. AFTER RESTARTING, THE VEHICLE RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES AND BECAME PROGRESSIVELY WORSE OVER A PERIOD OF TIME. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

HERE IS THE LINK TO AN EXACT DETAILED EXPLANATION. WHEN I LOST POWER MY CAR ROLLED INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION AND WAS HIT. HTTP://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=LDWPAFPVU0O3. *TR

ON THE WAY HOME FROM A VACATION, WE PULLED INTO A FAST FOOD RESTAURANT TO GET A QUICK BITE TO EAT. UPON LEAVING THE RESTAURANT, WE STARTED THE VEHICLE AND EVERYTHING SEEMED NORMAL. ABOUT THREE MINUTES INTO OUR DRIVE HOME, THE DASH LIGHTS CAME ON (SPECIFICALLY THE WRENCH AND AIR BAG LIGHTS) AND THE VEHICLE LOST ALL THROTTLE POWER. WE QUICKLY PULLED OVER AND TURNED OFF THE CAR TO SEE IF WE COULD DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM OURSELVES. AFTER BEING UNSUCCESSFUL AT IDENTIFYING THE PROBLEM, WE STARTED THE CAR AGAIN AND ATTEMPTED TO PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE. THE TRANSMISSION PRODUCED A LOUD "CLUNKING" SOUND. EACH TIME YOU TRIED TO CHANGE GEARS (I.E. REVERSE TO DRIVE), THERE WOULD BE AN EXTREMELY HARSH ENGAGEMENT AND THE GEAR CHANGE WOULD BE ROUGH, EACH TIME PRODUCING A LOUD "CLUNK". I BROUGHT THE CAR TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHO ADVISED THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH FORD EDGE'S, IN FACT; THERE IS A TSB BULLETIN (07-21-11) REGARDING THE ISSUE. THIS PROBLEM STEMS FROM A SHORT IN THE OUTPUT SHAFT SPEED (OSS) SENSOR AND THE TURBINE SHAFT SPEED (TSS) SENSORS. AS I READ THE TSB BULLETIN, THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE COVERED BY THE MANUFACTURES EMISSIONS WARRANTY, THE DEALERSHIP DISAGREES. THIS ISSUE CAN BE FOUND IN ABUNDANCE WITH THE 2008 FORD EDGE VEHICLE. IN A BRIEF SEARCH ONLINE, I FOUND A LARGE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS SAME PROBLEM FROM OWNER EDGE OWNERS. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE AND IT SHOULD HAPPEN IMMEDIATELY. IN THIS INSTANCE, I WASN'T IN HARM'S WAY, BUT IN PREVIOUS INSTANCES I HAVE BEEN IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION AND LOST THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE, WHICH IS UNDOUBTEDLY A TERRIFYING EXPERIENCE. I AM REQUESTING YOUR ASSISTANCE IN MOVING FORWARD WITH THIS COMPLAINT AS I'M NOT SURE WHERE ELSE TO TURN. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. *TR

WHEN I PUT INTO GEAR THE TRANSMISSION JERKS INTO GEAR. ALL THE VEHICLE CODES GO OFF AT ONCE. ONE INCIDENT I LOST POWER WHEN I CAME TO A STOP AT AN INTERSECTION. I ACCELERATED AND VEHICLE HESITATED TO ACCELERATE. THE. SPEEDOMETER READ ZERO AND I WAS CLEARLY GOING OVER 40MPH. I HAVE ONLY HAD THE VEHICLE 7MOS. I TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE AT THE FORD DEALER TWICE AND WAS TOLD IT WAS NOTHING AND THAT IT MIGHT BE THE BATTERY. TODAY IS THE FINAL STRAW. I AM WRITING THIS AT THE FORD DEALER. THE TRANSMISSION IS JERKING WAY TO MUCH. IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. AND THEY ARE TRYING TO PUT ME IN A NEW CAR..I WANT MY CAR FIXED. . *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE ENGINE REVVED AS IF THE CONTACT WERE DRIVING MORE THAN 70 MPH. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS AND THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A LOSS OF POWER. THE CONTACT FELT UNSAFE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER AND THE DEALER WERE NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PLACED ON THE MACHINE FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING, NO FAILURE CODES WERE DISTRIBUTED TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 101,000. UPDATED 09/27/16*LJ *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, A FUEL ODOR WAS EMITTED FROM THE VEHICLE AND THERE WAS A VISIBLE FUEL LEAK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSIS WHO INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE FUEL TANK WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 08V301000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 109,000.

POPPING NOISE MADE FROM FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRES WHEN TURNING LEFT, AT GEAR CHANGE TRANSMISSION JERKS, POWERTRAIN AWD MALFUNCTION LIGHT CAME ON , TRUCK WOULD NOT ACCELERATE INTO 2ND GEAR LOUD GRINDING NOISE MADE, CENSOR HAD TO BE REPLACED, POPPING NOISE STILL EXIST IN LEFT FRONT TIRE

FOR OVER A YEAR WHEN MY CAR HAD LESS THAN 100K AND STILL UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY MY TRANSMISSION STARTED SLIPPING AND SLAMMING INTO GEAR ON TAKEOFF. I TOOK TO FORD DEALER SHIP AND THEY RAN DISNOSTICS AND FOUND NOTHING WRONG BUT REPROGRAMED THE COMPUTER. THAT DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. THE CAR CONTINUES TO TODAYS TO SLIP AND SLAM ON TAKE OFF, THE ODOMETER BOUNCES AND THE ENGINE START CUTTING OUT/LOOSING POWER. AGAIN THE DEALER SAID IF THE COMPUTER IS NOT SETTING CODES THEY CANNOT FIX. NOW AT 110K OUT OF WARRANTY THE PROBLEM CONTINUES JUST GETTING WORSE. I BELIEVE BY READING THE BLOGS THAT THIS IS A LARGE ISSUE THAT FORD KNOWS ABOUT BUT REFUSES TO ADMIT BAD TRANSMISSION DESIGN AND WILL NOT RECALL. I THINK THEY SHOULD EITHER FIX THE ISSUE AT THEIR COST OR BUY BACK THE VEHCILE. I AM SURE THE MAIN ISSUE IS THE COST TO FORD TO FIX THE ISSUE AND THEY KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. THEY ARE MORE WORRIED THEIR STOCK HOLDERS THAT THEIR CUSTOMERS. I GUESS THEY WILL NEED A BAILOUT IF THEY KEEP THIS TREND UP. I USED TO HOLD FORD AS A QUALITY COMPANY, WITH QUALITY PRODUCTS, BUT NO LONGER. THE FOREIGN CAR COMPANIES ARE PRODUCING A BETTER QUALITY PRODUCT. I JUST WANT MY CAR FIXED OR REPLACED.

I BOUGHT A CERTIFIED PRE OWNED 2008 EDGE IN JUNE 2013. I FIRST EXPERIENCED THE HARD JERKING PROBABLY EARLY 2014 OR MAYBE IN THE WINTER OF 2013. IT HAD TROUBLE SHIFTING UP WHEN CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP BUT THEY COULDN'T REPRODUCE IT. THEY FIXED A TRANSMISSION LEAK AND UPDATED SOME SOFTWARE ON TWO SEPARATE VISITS. BOTH TIMES THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY FOR A FEW DAYS AND THEN CAME BACK AGAIN. IT WAS NOT SERIOUS ENOUGH THEN. THIS YEAR IT OCCURS MORE OFTEN (USUALLY IN THE STOP AND GO TRAFFIC) AND THERE IS ALSO ABRUPT JERK WHEN THE CAR SHIFTS UP FROM 10-20 MPH OR FROM 20-30 MPH. THE POWERTRAIN MALFUNCTION SYMBOL CAME ON TODAY. BUT AFTER I LET THE CAR SIT FOR HALF AN HOUR AND RESTARTED IT, THE SYMBOL WAS GONE. I'M TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP SOON AND HOPE THEY CAN DO SOMETHING. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO ONLY OCCUR IN COLD WEATHER. THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS ISSUE ONLINE. IT COULD BE DANGEROUS IF IT HAPPENS AT AN INTERSECTION OR ON A HIGHWAY. FORD SHOULD RECALL THESE CARS BECAUSE THEY ARE UNSAFE TO DRIVE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A STRONG PERSISTENT ODOR OF GASOLINE COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO BE DIAGNOSED WHERE THE DEALER ADVISED THAT THE FUEL TANK WELD WAS FRACTURED, CAUSING THE FUEL TO LEAK OUT OF THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURE STATED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 08V301000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE) DID NOT INCLUDE THE CONTACT'S VIN. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 124,227.

DRIVER DOOR SAYS AJAR AND THE DOOR IS CLOSED. LIGHTS WON'T GO OFF. *TR
