Cruise control stops working and starts working again at varies times. Thermostat sticks to cause the the temp to go from normal to hot quick. Fuel gage/floater is never accurate with how much gas is in gas tank
MAKES NOSIES WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS AND ABS AND SUSPENSION LIGHTS COME ON WHEN THIS HAPPEN.
FORD EDGE LOUD CLUNK WHEN PUT INTO GEAR AN WHEN IN GEAR YOU HAVE TO PUT IT TO THE FLOOR TO GET THE CAR TO MOVE AN REALLY HIGH RPM. DASH LIGHTS WILL COME ON FLASH AN ACT ALL CRAZY. FASTER TO WALK CUZ THE CAR WON'T GO. WILL DO IT AT A STOP OR JUST RANDOM GOING DOWN THE ROAD. HAVE TO GET OFF THE ROAD QUICK OR IT WILL STOP I THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. *TR
VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION FOR AWHILE, CAR WAS RUNNING OKAY UNTIL I CAME TO A STOPLIGHT AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR GOES LIMP. MY VEHICLE MAKES LOUD/HARD CLANK NOISE. LOSS OF POWER, WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. PULLED OVER, LOUD/HARD CLANK SOUND WITH EVERY GEAR CHANGE P-2. VEHICLE HAD DISPLAYED NO ISSUES PRIOR TO THIS. I AM ABLE TO PULL THE CAR OVER, TURN IT OFF AND TAKE THEY KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION. THEN THE WRENCH LIGHT IS OFF WHEN I RESTART THE CAR. STAYS IN LOW GEAR FOR A LONG TIME WHEN I START TO ACCELERATE, AND UNTIL VEHICLE EVENTUALLY ACCELERATES FASTER, OTHER CARS ALMOST RUNNING INTO THE BACK OF MY CAR SINCE MY CAR IS NOT ACCELERATING AT A NORMAL PACE. I AM GREATLY CONCERNED ABOUT WHAT APPEARS TO BE A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE WITH THIS CAR. THERE ARE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE TO BE FOUND ALL OVER THE INTERNET. FORD NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL AND FIX THIS ASAP BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY HURT OR IS KILLED FROM THE EXTREME LOSS OF POWER THE VEHICLE IS SUFFERING FROM WHEN THIS OCCURS!
THE WRENCH LIGHT AND AIRBAG LIGHTS WERE ON. MY SPEEDOMETER WASN'T WORKING. TRANSMISSION WAS CLUNKING. THE POWERTRAIN (WRENCH) & SERVICE ENGINE SIGNALS COME ON AFTER EXPERIENCING LOSS OF SPEED SUCH AS AFTER A TRAFFIC LIGHT STOP. WE HAVE TO PUSH DOWN FAR ON THE GAS PEDAL JUST TO MOVE AND THIS IS FOLLOWED BY ROUGH SHIFTING (MAKES A SUDDEN JERK AND LOUD THUD SOUND). EVERYTHING GOES BACK TO NORMAL FOR AWHILE WHEN THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF; ITS LIKE THE CAR RESETS ITSELF.
WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY FOR THE 3RD TIME THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR JUST STARTED SLOWING DOWN. WHEN I TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON IT GOES OFF, SO FAR IT HAS NOT COME BACK ON OR HAPPENED HAPPENED AGAIN. WHEN THE HAPPENED THE SECOND TIME I GOT HOME TURNED THE CAR OFF AND THE WIPERS CAME ON. NOT SURE IF THAT IS RELATED BUT IT IS UNUSUAL.
MY STEERING WHEEL SHAKES BAD. MY WHEELS VIBRATE SEEMS LIKE THEY ABOUT TO COME OFF WHILE I'M DRIVING. MY SPEED REDUCES ITSELF FROM FAST TO SLOW.
I BOUGHT A 2007 FORD EDGE IN JULY OF 2018. LESS THEN 2 MONTHS LATER MY PCM HAS GONE BAD BURNING UP ALL 6 COIL PACKS IN MY EDGE. I HAVE CONTACTED FORD AND THERE IS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLENTIN ON THE PCM AND COIL PACKS, BUT WAS TOLD NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED THE ISSUE TO PUT OUT A RECALL. I CAN NOT AFFORD OVER $2000.00 TO HAVE THIS FIXED. FORD IS AWARE THAT IT IS A DEFECTIVE PART AND I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY THERE IS NOT A RECALL ON IT. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF 6 LANES OF TRAFFIC DURING RUSH HOUR AND THE SUV JUST LOST POWER. I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. I HAD NO WARNING OR ANYTHING THE SUV JUST SLOWLY STARTED LOSING POWER AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DIDNT EVEN CUT ON UNTIL AFTER I TURNED EDGE OFF AND RESTARTED. THIS IS AN ISSUE IN NEED OF A RECALL ASAP! I HAVE DONE ALOT OF RESEARCH AND HAVE FOUND THAT THE FAULTY PCM BURNS UP THE COIL PACKS AND EVERYONE WHO IS JUST REPLACING COILS IS GOING TO HAVE THE SAME ISSUE AGAIN SINCE IT IS THE FAULTY PCM BURNING THE COILS AND UNTIL THE PCM ($835) IS REPLACED THEY WILL CONTINUE TO KEEP REPLACING THE COILS ($80 X 6 =$480.00) NONE OF THESE PRICES INCLUDE LABOR! ALSO DOESNT INCLUDE THE COST TO REPROGRAM THE NEW PCM TO MY KEYS SINCE IF YOU DONT FLASH THE NEW PCM THE EDGE WONT START DUE TO THE KEYS OUR PROGRAMMED SPECIFICALLY TO THE PCM INSTALLED TO THE EDGE. IF YOU HAVE ALREADY PAID TO HAVE THESE ISSUE FIXED PLEASE STILL CALL FORD WHEN AND IF THEY ISSUE A RECALL (WHICH THEY NEED TO!) YOU CAN SUBMIT YOUR RECEIPT AND BE REIMBURSED FOR COST TO HAVE IT FIXED! THE PCM PUSHES TO MUCH ELECTRICITY TO THE SPARK PLUGS IN TURN BURNING THE COILS AND COULD POSSIBLY CAUSE THE SUV TO CATCH FIRE!!!!! I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DRIVE MY EDGE IN 3 WEEKS AND STILL OWE MONEY ON IT!
WHILE STOPPED WHEN GOING TO ACCELERATE THE TRANSMISSION FEELS LIKE IT'S NOT WORKING THE VEHICLE WRAPS THE SPEEDOMETER THE MILE WHICH DOESN'T WORK SPEED DOESN'T WORK AIRBAG LIGHTS ARE ON WRENCH LIGHT IS ON TIRE LIGHT IS ON RPM STAY AT 2K THE VEHICLE WILL BARELY MOVE.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WAS NOTIFIED AND DIAGNOSED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. NORTH CENTRAL FORD IN DALLAS, TEXAS WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THE FAILURE AND TRANSFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 81,300.
THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED A MONTH AGO, IT WAS A SIMILAR ISSUE THAT RESOLVED ITSELF WITHIN ABOUT 10 MINUTES. BUT THE SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED 7 DAYS AGO, IT LASTED LONGER AND UNFORTUNATELY I HAD MY 14 MONTH OLD IN THE CAR. I WAS PULING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE ONE LATE AFTERNOON AND PROCEEDED TO DRIVE FORWARD AND NOTICED THAT IT WAS REVING VERY LOUDLY EVEN THOUGH IT WAS BARELY MOVING. WHENEVER I WOULD COME TO A LIGHT AND STOP OR SLOW DOWN TO TURN AND THEN TRY TO INCREASE MY SPEED I NOTICED THAT IT WOULD BE REVING SO LOUDLY AND BARELY MOVING AT FIRST, BUT THEN AFTER ABOUT 10 SECONDS IT WOULD START TO MOVE A LITTLE FASTER - BUT NOT AS FAST AS IT USUALLY MOVES WHEN I PUT THE SAME AMOUNT OF PRESSURE ON THE GAS PEDAL. I ALSO NOTICED ALONG THE WAY THAT MY SPEDOMETEER WAS NOT MOVING. IT WAS STUCK ON 0MPH THE WHOLE TIME. THEN ABOUT 5 MINUTES INTO THIS HORROR, THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AND ALTHOUGHH I HAD MY SEATBELT ON AND I HAD NO FRONT PASSENGER, THE SETBELT LIGHT CAME ON TOO. I MANAGED TO PULL THE CAR OVER NEAR MY HOME AND MOVED INTO A SPACE IN FRONT OF A NEIGHBOR'S HOUSE. WHEN I WENT TO BACK UP AND CORRECT MY PARKING THE CAR MADE SUCH A LOUD CLUNK SOUND. I THEN TURNED OFF THE CAR AND RIGHT THEN A MESSAGE FLASHED ON THE DASH BOARD ABOUT 'CHECK TIRE PRESSURE' OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. BUT MY TIRES WERE PERFECTLY AND PROPERLY INFLATED. THE FIRST INCIDENT SHOOK ME A LITTLE BUT IT WAS ONLY ME IN THE CAR AND I THOUGHT THAT MAYBE, (ALTHOUGH UNLIKELY), I MADE A MISTAKE AND WAS USING THE WRONG GEAR TO MANUVER. BUT AFTER THIS SECOND INCIDENT (ESPECIALLY WITH MY BABY IN THE CAR) I HAVE NOT TOUCHED THE CAR SINCE. I BOUGHT IT AS A FAMILY VEHICLE, AND IF IT COULD LEAD TO ME OR MY FAMILY BEING KILLED ON THE ROAD, THERE IS NO POINT. I THANK GOD THAT I AVOID HIGHWAYS BECAUSE I COULD NOT HAVE IMAGINED WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF I WAS ON A HIGHWAY WHEN THIS HAPPENED.
FORD DEALER HAS MY 2007 FORD EDGE DUE TO IT STALLING OUT WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH ON A HIGHWAY CAUSING MY ENGINE TO DIE SO I HAD TO GET TOWED HOME AND OFF OF THE HIGHWAY. THE DEALER ORIGINALLY THOUGHT IT WAS THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY BUT THEY HAVE NOW DETERMINED THAT WAS NOT THE PROBLEM. INSTEAD IT IS THE PCM WHICH IS COSTING ME OVER $1500, IF THAT EVEN FIXES THIS. PLUS I HAVE BEEN PAYING FOR A RENTAL CAR BECAUSE THE DEALERS DON'T HAVE FREE LOANER VEHICLES. SO THIS WHOLE THING IS GOING TO COST ME ABOUT $2000. NOW I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM, AND CAN CLEARLY TELL THIS IS NOT NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR INSTEAD IT IS A FAULTY PART THAT SO MANY OTHER OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING. I CLEARLY SEE FORD HAS BEEN MADE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND THEY SHOULD BE TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR MISTAKE. FORD HAS REFUSED TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH IT IS VERY DANGEROUS AND COSTLY FOR THE VEHICLE OWNER. I HAVE NEVER OWNED A FORD BEFORE AND LIKELY WILL NOT AGAIN BECAUSE OF THIS BAD EXPERIENCE.
BAD ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY AND IT'S SENSOR. THIS IS A COMMON AND COSTLY REPAIR WITH FORD VEHICLES BUT THEY HAVE REFUSED A RECALL. IT IS DANGEROUS AS IT CAUSES YOUR VEHICLE TO COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING. IT HAPPENS FREQUENTLY WHEN ACCELERATING OR RANDOMLY WHEN DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS DRIVING 60 MPH AND MY CAR SUDDENLY SHUT DOWN AND LOCKED UP THEN WAS UNABLE TO START SO I HAD TO GET IT TOWED.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE ACCELERATION DECREASED EVEN WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR FLASHED. THE CONTACT HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED A NEW COIL AND POWER CONTROL MODULE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000.
WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET AND ON A STATE ROAD TRANSMISSION WILL ACT AND SOUND LIKE IT IS SLIPPING OR NOT ENGAGING IN GEAR AND SOMETIMES WILL ONLY WORK IN REVERSE.WHEN PROBLEM OCCURS VEHICLE WILL LOSE ALL POWER AND ENGINE WILL REV UP BUT VEHICLE WILL NOT MOVE. I HAVE HAD IT TOWED TO DEALER AND HAVE TAKEN IT IN TO DEALER, THEY SAY THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE THE PROBLEM. THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT WHEN IT HAPPENS I NEED TO PULL OVER SOMEWHERE SAFE AND SHUT THE CAR OFF AND LET THE "COMPUTER/ SENSORS " RESET AND THAT WILL "TAKE CARE" OF THE PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM IS GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE AS TIME GOES ON. I AM AFRAID IF THIS HAPPENS IN TRAFFIC SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET SERIOUSLY HURT OR KILLED AS THERE IS NO POWER TO GET OFF THE ROAD AND OUT OF TRAFFIC
I WAS TRAVELING AROUND 40 MPH ON A STATE HIGHWAY WHEN SPUTTERING AND VIBRATION ISSUES STARTED WITH 2007 FORD EDGE AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. STILL DROVE VEHICLE TO MY MECHANIC WHICH STATED COIL BURNED OUT AND SENT SURGE OF POWER TO THE PCM. MECHANIC STATED DESIGN OF PCM WOULDN'T STOP THE FIRING OF COIL AND NOT TO DRIVE VEHICLE ANY FURTHER OR IT WILL BURN TO THE GROUND. MECHANIC STATED ONLY THE FORD DEALERSHIP CAN INSTALL A NEW ONE AND REST THE CAR TO GET IT RUNNING. TOWED VEHICLE TO FORD DEALERSHIP WHO STATED THEY HAVE A TSB ISSUED FOR THIS PROBLEM AND THEY WILL NEED TO REPLACE THE PCM AND ALL 6 COILS BECAUSE THEY HAVE ALL MELTED. FORD DEALERSHIP STATED THIS WAS AN ON GOING PROBLEM DUE TO A FAULTY DESIGN OF THE PCM THAT WHEN A COIL BURNS OUT (COMMON WEAR AND TEAR AND $100 TO $200 FIX) THE PCM DOESN'T STOP FIRING TO THE COILS WHICH COULD CAUSE THE CAR TO CATCH FIRE. ESTIMATE TO FIX THE PCM AND ALL SIX COILS WAS $2,958. REASON FOR COMPLAINT - I UNDERSTAND WEAR AND TEAR ON A VEHICLE, BUT DUE TO A DESIGN ISSUE IN THE FORD/MERCURY/LINCOLN PCM, IT CAUSED EXTENSIVE DAMAGE AND REPAIR TO THE CAR AND POTENTIAL TO BURN TO THE GROUND. $100 FIX WITH PROPER DESIGN AND NOW $2,958 DUE TO PCM ISSUE. I AM REQUESTING THIS ISSUE TO BE REVIEWED FOR REIMBURSEMENT BY THE MANUFACTURER OR RECALL ISSUED. THANKS YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE CONTACT FELT A LOSS OF PRESSURE ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND THE VEHICLE SHOOK. THE CONTACT HAD THE VEHICLE DIAGNOSED AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE POWER CONTROL FAILED AND THE COIL MELTED. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.
A WHEEL SPEED SENSOR FAILED (PER MY MECHANIC), CAUSING THE ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEMS TO MALFUNCTION. IT BECAME EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO STOP THE CAR, WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL PULSING AND TRAVELING NEARLY TO THE FLOORBOARD. I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO STOP THE CAR JUST BEFORE RUNNING A RED LIGHT BY STANDING ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE BRAKE PADS WERE AT ~50% PER A RECENT STATE INSPECTION. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN IN FEBRUARY 2015 WHEN ANOTHER WHEEL SPEED SENSOR FAILED WITH MY WIFE AND CHILDREN IN THE CAR WITH ME. I WAS ABLE TO TEMPORARILY RESOLVE THE ISSUE BY PULLING THE ABS FUSE TO DISABLE THE ABS SYSTEM. FORD'S R&M ENGINEERS MUST HAVE FORGOTTEN TO PERFORM A FAILURE MODE ANALYSIS ON THE EDGE'S ABS SYSTEM.
HIGHWAY SPEED THE CAR SUDDENLY SLOWED DOWN. SPEEDOMETER DROPPED TO ZERO, INFORMATION PANEL WENT BLANK, POWERTRAIN MALFUNCTION/REDUCED POWER LIGHT CAME ON, AIRBAG FRONT LIGHT CAME ON. PULLED CAR TO SHOULDER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AND SHUT KEY OFF. RESTARTED CAR AND EVERYTHING APPEARED NORMAL EXCEPT CAR HAD VERY LITTLE POWER TO MOVE UNTIL ABOUT 10 MPH WAS REACHED WHEN A HARD TRANSMISSION SHIFT PUT CAR INTO GEAR AND ALL BECAME FULLY OPERATIONAL. THIS HAPPENED THREE TIMES IN A ONE WEEK PERIOD OF TIME, ALWAYS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. SUBSEQUENT RESEARCH BY INDEPENDENT MECHANIC INDICATED THIS A COMMON PROBLEM REQUIRING REPLACEMENT OF TWO SPEED SENSORS IN TRANSMISSION AT COST OF $629.00.
VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER AND STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. TOWED TO MECHANIC. ELECTRONIC DIAGNOSTICS CODES P0351, P0352, P0354, P0301, P0302, P0316, P0420 BANK CATALYST BELOW THRESHOLD. PERFORMED PIN POINT TEST ON ALL COILS, FUEL SYSTEM, AND RELATIVE COMPRESSION. PERFORMED ALL REPAIRS RELATED TO TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN 12_8_17. AFTER VERIFYING BURNT COIL AND INTERNAL DRIVER FAULT OF PCM TO COALS! REPLACED ALL IGNITION COILS, ALL SPARK PLUGS, UPPER INTAKE GASKETS AND PCM! USED ALL FORD OE PARTS.REPROGRAMED PCM AND ROAD TEST TO VERIFY ALL REPAIRS. COST $2039.29. VERIFIED CONVERTER DAMAGE RELATED TO IGNITION FAILURE DUMPING RAW FUEL THROUGH BANK 1. REPLACED ORIGINAL CONVERTER, SEAL, GASKET, CLEANED ALL O2 SENSORS. COST $704.94. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE'S SPEED SUDDENLY DECREASED TO APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHUTTER AND VIBRATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE FAILURE WAS CAUSED BY A FAULTY PCM, WHICH CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE COIL PACKS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.
THE TRANSMISSION FEELS LIKE IT IS IN NEUTRAL. IT JERKS LIKE SOMEONE HAS RAN INTO YOUR VEHICLE WITH THEIR VEHICLE. SEVERAL WARNING LIGHTS COME ON. SPEEDOMETER GOES TO ZERO. IF YOU COME TO A STOP, YOU MAY NOT GET GOING AGAIN. HAD THIS CHECKED OUT AND REPLACED A SENSOR COSTING ME $425.00 AND LESS THAN 2 WEEKS LATER, PROBLEM OCCURS AGAIN. HAD THIS CHECKED OUT AND NOW THEY ARE HOLLERING ANOTHER SENSOR HAS WENT BAD AND THIS ONE IS GOING TO COST $600.00. DID NOT HAVE THIS ONE FIXED!! ALSO HAD TO HAVE VEHICLE TOWED HOME ONE TIME COSTING EVEN MORE MONEY.... *TR
AFTER STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN, WHEN I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR MY 2007 FORD EDGE WOULD NOT GO FORWARD (ALTHOUGH THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO RUN). I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TRIED SEVERAL MORE TIMES UNSUCCESSFULLY. NOT KNOWING WHAT ELSE TO DO I PRESSED HARD ON THE ACCELERATOR AND IT STARTED AGAIN. THAT HAPPENED 6 MONTHS AGO. IN THE PAST 3 WEEKS IT HAS HAPPENED 2 MORE TIMES. TODAY, IT TOOK A DIFFERENT TURN. THE CAR SHIFTED WITH DIFFICULTY, THE WRENCH ICON LIT UP ON THE DASHBOARD AND THEN RODE SLUGGISHLY TIL I GOT HOME (ABOUT 4 MILES). I LEFT THE CAR IN MY DRIVEWAY FOR 30 MINUTES - WHEN I TURNED IT BACK ON THE WRENCH ICON WAS OFF AND THE CAR RAN FINE. UPON A SEARCH ON THE INTERNET I HAVE FOUND I AM NOT ALONE WITH THIS SAFETY ISSUE. I AM ALSO NOT ALONE WITH GETTING NO HELP FROM FORD. I WOULD GLADLY HAVE IT REPAIRED BUT MY DEALER APPEARS CLUELESS AND SAID THEY CANNOT FIX IT IF IT DOESN'T HAPPEN WHEN IT'S AT THEIR GARAGE. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM AND FEELS LIKE PLAYING ROULETTE WITH MY LIFE. I BELIEVE I HAVE BEEN LUCKY SO FAR BUT WHO KNOWS WHAT HAPPENS IF I'M ON A HIGHWAY WHEN THE EDGE DECIDES TO STOP. PLEASE HELP! *TR
WHILE TRAVELING AT A SPEED OF 60 MPH DOWN THE HIGHWAY, I LOST ALL POWER TO MY EDGE. THE SPEEDOMETER WENT TO 0, MILEAGE BLANKED OUT, AND I HAD THE AIR BAG, WRENCH & LOW TIRE PRESSURE LIGHTS CAME ON. WHEN YOU WOULD GO FROM PARK TO REVERSE OR FROM PARK TO DRIVE, THERE WOULD BE A BIG CLUNKING NOISE AND NO ACCELERATION. WHEN THIS FIRST HAPPENED YOU COULD TURN THE CAR OFF AND IT WOULD RESET AFTER A FEW MINUTES. NOW YOU HAVE TO UNHOOKED THE BATTERY CABLES AND REPLACE THEM, BUT THIS ONLY LASTS FOR A WHILE. IT IS NOT A FIX. THIS IS STILL HAPPENING TO THIS DAY. NO ONE WE HAVE CONTACTED CAN TELL US THE PROBLEM. PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN. *TR
DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY, SPEEDOMETER DROPS TO ZERO THEN DASH LIGHTS ALL COME ON. GET OFF HIGHWAY PULL OVER AND CAR DOES NOT MOVE. WAIT ABOUT 20 MINUTES, PUT CAR IN D, HEAR LOUD BANG, CAR LUNGES FORWARD A LITTLE THEN DRIVES NORMALLY. SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED WAS ON HIGHWAY AT @60MPH WHEN SAME THING HAPPENS, GET OFF HIGHWAY AND STOP AT 2ND RED LIGHT WHEN THE CAR DOES NOT MOVE AT ALL. LET CAR SIT FOR @10 MIN. THEN IT STARTS GOING @10MPH, AFTER ABOUT 1 MILE RESUMES NORMAL OPERATION. HAVE BROUGHT TO LOCAL FORD DEALER AND HAD 2 SENSORS REPLACED ALONG WITH A TRANSMISSION FLUID EXCHANGE BUT NOW TODAY IT HAPPENED AGAIN WHEN I STOPPED AT BUSY BACK ROAD INTERSECTION THEN TRIED TO RESUME SPEED THE VEH. WOULD NOT MOVE. E-MAILED LOCAL FORD DEALER TO LET THEM KNOW THAT ISSUE WAS HAPPENING ONCE AGAIN AFTER SENSORS WERE REPLACED. PRIOR TO FORD ALSO HAD SEARS LOOK AT VEH. WHERE THEY DETERMINED IT WAS A SENSOR BUT COULD NOT DETERMINE WHICH ONE. NOW THAT THE VEHICLE IS BACK TO ME IT ALSO SEEMS TO HAVE ALOT OF HESITATION ON WANTING TO GO. THIS VEHICLE HAS NEVER SEEMED TO BE THE BEST TRANSMISSION AND I HAVE A BIG CONCERN ABOUT HOW MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE SIMILAR ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE. I WONDER WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO SOMEBODY WHO KEEPS DRIVING IT WITHOUT GETTING OFF THE ROAD? I AM CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY, MYSELF, OTHERS WHO OWN THIS VEHICLE, AND OTHERS ON THE ROADWAY AROUND THESE VEHICLES WHEN THERE IS A PROBLEM. THE POSTS I KEEP SEEING ALL REFLECT THE SAME ISSUE AND ALL TOO OFTEN THEY ARE TOLD THAT THEY CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE, WILL IT TAKE A MAJOR ACCIDENT OR DEATH FOR THIS CONCERN TO BE ADDRESSED? A VEHICLE SHOULD NOT KEEP STOPPING OR PRODUCING LOUD BANGS AFTER IT STOPS MOVING AND I THINK THERE APPEARS TO BE ENOUGH EVIDENCE FROM ENOUGH PEOPLE WHO HAVE VOICED THEIR ISSUES WITH THIS PROBLEM TO WARRANT IMMEDIATE ACTION ON THIS MATTER.
