THE WATER PUMP ON THIS VEHICLE IS LOCATED IN A POSITION THAT REQUIRES A FULL AND EXPENSIVE REMOVAL OF THE ENGINE TO EVEN CHECK ON IT. MANUAL HAS NO WATER PUMP MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE. THE WATER PUMP HAS FAILED INTERNALLY AND DUMPS COOLANT INTO THE ENGINE AND OIL PAN. THERE IS NO WAY TO KNOW THIS IS COMING OR HAS HAPPENED UNTIL YOUR ENGINE OVERHEATS. BY THAT POINT THE COOLANT HAS ALREADY RUN THROUGH MY ENGINE AND CAUSED IRREVERSIBLE DAMAGE THAT REQUIRES A COMPLETE ENGINE REPLACEMENT. FORD IS AND HAS BEEN AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING.

MY 2007 FORD EDGE AT 77,291 MILE HAD AN ECM FAILURE WITH COIL FAILURES (PO351, PO 352 & PO354). THIS COST ME $1079.87 FOR THE NEW ECM, AND I REPLACED ALL COILS FOR $264 ($44/EACH X 6). THIS EDGE IS THE FIRST FORD VEHICLE I HAVE PURCHASED, & IT MIGHT BE MY LAST. I HAVE ALWAYS HAD GM PRODUCTS UNTIL NOW, & EACH OF THOSE VEHICLES I DROVE TO OVER 200 K MILES ON THEM & NEVER REPLACED THE ECM OR COILS. I AM REPORTING THIS IN HOPES TO ENCOURAGE FORD TO PLACE A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE TO HELP OFF SET MY COSTS.

MY CAR STARTED SPUTTERING ON FREEWAY ON CHRISTMAS NIGHT. SMELLED BURNING. HAD IT TOWED TO MY MECHANIC. HE INFORMED ME IGNITION COILS BURNED OUT. HE REPLACED THEM BUT CALLED TODAY AND INFORMED ME, CAR WILL RUN FINE AND THEN ONE OR MORE COILS WILL BURN OUT AGAIN CAUSING THE PROBLEM. HE LOOKED COMPLAINTS UP ONLINE AND FOUND HUNDREDS OF THEM AS I HAVE ALSO. WE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE BECAUSE THERE WERE SO MANY COMPLAINTS BUT NOTHING. (I FOUND OUT I HAD 2 OTHER RECALLS I NEVER GOT A NOTICE FOR.. GREAT)... READING THE COMPLAINTS BELOW FROM CUSTOMERS WHO HAS HAD THE EXACT PROBLEM IS WORRISOME BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE BUT STILL HAS DONE NOTHING TO FIX THIS. MY CAR IS STILL IN THE SHOP. IF THIS CAN ONLY BE FIXED AT THE DEALERSHIP AS DESCRIBED BY OTHER COMPLAINTS, I AM SCREWED AS THIS IS VERY COSTLY. FORD SHOULD BE REPLACING THIS AS THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE. I NEVER BOUGHT A FORD DUE TO THEIR REPUTATION AND I GAVE THEM A CHANCE. I SEE WHY NOW ... I ONLY HAVE 69,000 MILES ON IT....

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR ON THE ROAD AND THE ENGINE STALLED WITH NO WARNING AND THE CAR CUT OFF. AFTER WAITING ABOUT 10 MINUTES, THE CAR STARTED AND I WAS ABLE TO MOVE IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DIDN'T COME ON UNTIL AFTER THE CAR INITIALLY CUT OFF. I TRIED TO START THE CAR AGAIN ABOUT 20 MINUTES LATER AND IT WOULDN'T START AT ALL. FINALLY, AFTER A COUPLE OF HOURS THE CAR STARTED, BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS STILL ON.

THE HEATER CORE FAILS APPROXIMATELY EVERY TWO YEARS CAUSING THE EDGE TO OVERHEAT. FORD HAS REPLACED THE HEATER CORE THREE TIMES AND IT FAILED AGAIN AFTER 22 MONTHS, HOWEVER, THEY ARE SAYING IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY NOW AND THEY WILL NOT COVER THE COST OF REPLACEMENT. FORD IS AWARE THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH THE 2007 MODEL AND HAS RECEIVED OTHER COMPLAINTS. I AM CONCERNED THE OVERHEATING MIGHT CARRY POTENTIAL ENGINE FIRE DANGER.

UPON PICKING MY CAR UP FROM THE DEALER SHIP AFTER HAVING A REPAIR DONE FOR A RECALL MY CAR EXPERIENCED CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE. THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT REPLACE DAMAGED PARTS. NOTE THAT THE DEALER SHIP RETAINED MY CAR FOR ABOUT EIGHT MONTHS. I HAVE CONTACTED FORD DIRECTLY TO SEE IF THEY CAN HELP.

IGNITION COIL MALFUNCTION (MIS-FIRING) DURING HIGHWAY SPEED DRIVING CAUSING LOSS OF POWER, SMOKE AND BURNING SMELL IN ENGINE AND DISABLED VEHICLE. MECHANIC DISCOVERED MELTED IGNITION COIL AND TOTALLY DAMAGED/NON-FUNCTIONAL POWER TRAIN CONTROL MODULE.

WE PURCHASED OUR VEHICLE USED AND WITH AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. SEVERAL MONTHS AFTER WE HAD THE VEHICLE WE NOTICED IT WOULD JUMP OR SKIP ALMOST LIKE IT IS NOT GOING INTO GEAR. AT FIRST IT STARTED WITH BEING AT A STOP SIGN AND WHEN I TRIED TO GO IT WOULD JUMP. IT EVENTUALLY STARTED TO HAPPEN WHILE WE ARE DRIVING, THERE IS NO CONSISTENT SITUATION LIKE GOING UP OR DOWN A HILL, STOPPED AT A STOPPED SIGN, OR EVEN BACKING UP WHERE THAT IS THE ONLY TIME IT HAPPENS. OVER THE LAST 3 YEARS WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL SHOPS LOOK AT IT INCLUDING A THE FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE WE PURCHASED IT WHILE IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND AFTER. EACH TIME THEY ADVISED THE COMPUTER WAS NOT REGISTERING ANYTHING WRONG. EVERY LOCATION DROVE THE VEHICLE AND DID FEEL THE SAME THING BUT WERE UNABLE TO LOCATE THE ISSUE. WE HAVE EVEN LEFT THE CAR AT THE SHOP FOR SEVERAL DAYS AT A TIME FOR THEM TO DRIVE AND TRY TO LOCATE THE ISSUE. I HAVE CONTACT FORD BUT WAS ADVISED THERE WAS NO RECALL OR ANYONE ELSE HAVING ISSUES BUT I WAS WELCOME TO CALL BACK AND KEEP ADVISING THEM OF THE ISSUE. THE REPAIR SHOPS ADVISED I WOULD HAVE TO WAIT FOR SOMETHING TO ESSENTIALLY BREAK TO BE ABLE TO LOCATE THE PROBLEM. OTHER THAN THIS ISSUE WE HAVE HAD NO MECHANICAL PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR AND WE HAVE IT SERVICED REGULARLY BUT WE ARE CONCERNED WITH DRIVING IT LONG DISTANCES AND I AM AFRAID THIS JUMP/SKIP MAY EVENTUALLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I WOULD LIKE TO TRY TO SEE IF ANYONE ELSE IS HAVING THIS ISSUE OR IF ANYTHING CAN BE DONE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM.

LET ME FIRST START OF BY SAYING THAT I GET MY CAR SERVICED ON TIME, EVERY TIME. I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN MY CAR SUDDENLY BEGAN SHAKING BADLY. NOTICED THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. I PULLED OVER RIGHT AWAY AND LOOKED IT UP IN THE OWNER MANUAL. BASED ON THE INFO, I CALLED TO SCHEDULE TO TAKE MY CAR IN THE NEXT MORNING. I PUT MY HAZARDS ON AND EXITED THE HIGHWAY. I DROVE LOCAL SO I COULD KEEP MY SPEED TO 20 MILES. THEN WHEN 4 MINUTES FROM HOME, WHILE STOPPED AT A LIGHT, THE CAR WENT DEAD. I TRIED TO START IT, BUT NOTHING. WHEN I NOTICE A BURNING TYPE OF SMELL I STOPPED AND CALLED A TOW TRUCK. SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID THAT ALL 6 COILS HAD MELTED ONTO THE MAIN PC OF THE CAR. HE FOUND IT EXTREMELY ODD THAT ALL 6 BURNED AT THE SAME TIME. HE SAID IT'S USUALLY 1, 2 OR 3, BUT NEVER HEARD OF ALL 6. *TR
