The PTU have a severe problem and the computer didn't warn for this problem until the car just stop getting out of the freeway, slowing down and making loud noises under also stop complity at the street and a car behind me almost crashed in my back, I tried to switch from drive to park and didn't move then I tried the reverse and make a loud sound then I put in drive and star advancing very slowly and with loud noise, finally I got home and smoke staring coming in the front driver side and the smell was a burning rubber. After I got out and let the car to cool down I tried to drive in reverse but the reverse didn't work, only from drive and L gear, I parked my car with the front end facing my home, I can't drive it it all

DASH LIGHTS FLASH AND CAR LOSES POWER DURING TRAVEL RESULTING IN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION

VEHICLE IN MOTION ON CITY ROAD WHEN VEHICLE ALL OF A SUDDEN MAKES LOUD/HARD CLANK NOISE AND IMMEDIATELY LOSES POWER - ALMOST LIKE IT STARTED TOWING A TRAILER! LOSS OF POWER, WRENCH LIGHT, TPS LIGHT, AIRBAG LIGHT ALL COME ON, SPEEDOMETER STOPS WORKING. PULLED OVER, LOUD/HARD CLANK SOUND WITH EVERY GEAR CHANGE P-2. VEHICLE HAD DISPLAYED NO ISSUES PRIOR TO THIS. DROPPED VEHICLE OFF AT MECHANIC, WHEN HE LOOKED AT IT NEXT MORNING, VEHICLE IS RUNNING PERFECT. 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 WITH NO FIXES KNOWN. 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 HAPPENS.

WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER AND I IMMEDIATELY TRIED TO PULL OUT OF THE MAIN PATH OF TRAFFIC. I HAD IT TOWED TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP TO DETERMINE CAUSE. IT IS THE TRANSMISSION. I REPLACED IT WITH A USED UNIT FROM A SIMILAR VEHICLE, OF WHICH I HAVE ENCOUNTERED A SIMILAR ISSUES. A REPLACEMENT OF THIS UNIT IS ALSO PRODUCING A PROBLEM. IT IS NOW AT THE FORD DEALER'S GARAGE AND I AM TOLD IT IS A TRANSMISSION. PROBLEM. THIS VEHICLE HAS 75K MILES AND I HAVE MAINTAINED IT TO THE COMPLY WITH FORD'S SPECS. BUT, THREE TRANSMISSIONS IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME... SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT???

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD I NOTICED MY SPEED AT 0 MY ODOMETER AT 0...THOUGHT THAT WAS WEIRD. NOTICED WRENCH LIGHT, ENGINE LIGHT,AND AIRBAG LIGHT. CAME TO A STOP LIGHT AND STOPPED. UPON TAKEOFF WAS NEARLY REAR ENDED BECAUSE I WAS BARELY CREEPING.. RPMS STAYED AROUND 2K-3K..... PULLED IT INTO A PARKING LOT AND SWITCHED GEARS....LOUD CLANGS AND JERKS AS I'M SHIFTING. TURNED OFF CAR AND RESTARTED TO HAVE THE SAME LIGHTS AND SAME CLANKS AS I'M SHIFTING. I PULL OUT OF THE PARKING LOT SINCE I'M A MILE AWAY FROM HOME AND EVEN THOUGH I PULLED OUT WITH PLENTY OF TIME I WAS ALMOST TBONED. GOT IT HOME AND SHUT IT DOWN. I HAVE AROUND 255,000 MILES ON IT. OILS CHANGED. MAINTENANCE UPKEEP AND EVERYTHING. THIS ALL HAPPENED ON CITY STREETS, WHILE IN MOTION AND SITTING STILL. I SERIOUSLY DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW FORD IS ALLOWED TO OVERLOOK THIS AND NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING THESE VERY WELL KNOWN ISSUES THAT ARE A HAZARD TO DRIVERS....NOT JUST TO MYSELF BUT TO OTHERS AROUND ME AS WELL. THERE ARE WAY TOO MANY COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE FOR IT NOT TO BE TAKEN CARE OF. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS WITHOUT WARNING THE CABIN AIR VENTS FILL UP WITH AN ABNORMAL SMOKE ODOR. THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROADWAY, OPENED THE WINDOWS TO ELIMINATE SMOKE ODOR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE AND DETERMINED THAT THE TRANSMISSION SEAL LEAKED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE DEALER (BERGLUND FORD, 834 E MAIN ST, SALEM, VA 24153 (540) 389-7291) WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT SUBJECTED TO ANY RECALLS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE WARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 50,000.

FORD STATES THAT THE PTU HAS A LIFETIME OIL AND DOES NOT NEED CHANGED YET THE UNIT IS LOCATED SO CLOSE TO EXHAUST THAT THE OIL TURNS TO SLUDGE, THERE IS NO PLUG TO CHECK FLUID CONDITIONS THERE IS NO WAY TO FLUSH AND OR REFILL. THE ONLY SOLUTION IS TO REPLACE THE PTU BUT HOW DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH DAMAGE TO THE TRANSMISSION WAS CAUSED? NO ONE KNOWS BECAUSE ITS SUPPOSEDLY A LIFETIME OIL AND THE DANGEROUS HEATING CONDITIONS OF THE PLACEMENT OF THE PTU HEATS THE OIL USELESS AND THE CAUSES DAMAGE TO THE TRANSMISSION. DEPENDING ON THE AMOUNT OF DAMAGE ASSESSED UPON REMOVAL, YOU MAY NEED TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION. I DO NOT HAVE ANY DOCUMENTATION ATTACHED BECAUSE I HAVE POURED SO MUCH MONEY INTO TRYING TO ISOLATE AND DIAGNOSE I NOW CANT AFFORD TO HAVE THIS VERY EXPENSIVE PROBLEM FIXED. THIS HAS A POOR DESIGN AND SHOULD BE REPLACED BY THE MANUFACTURE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUT OFF AND THE ODOMETER ERROR READING WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO COAST THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND CALLED A TOW COMPANY. ONCE THE TOW TRUCK ARRIVED, THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE IN OPERATION. THE TOW TRUCK FOLLOWED THE CONTACT UNTIL SHE WAS ABLE TO REACH HER DESTINATION. MANKATO FORD (1935 MADISON AVE, MANKATO, MN 56001, 507-387-3454) WAS CONTACTED AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO THE MANUFACTURER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING AT 65 MPH. SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING, WARNING LIGHTS -PICTURE OF WRENCH LIGHT, TIRE PRESSURE CAME ON. SAID DATA ------ FAILURE. IT WAS TERRIFYING. MADE IT TO A PARKING LOT. TURNED OFF CARE & LET IT SIT A FEW MINUTES. RESTARTED AND IT WAS BACK TO NORMAL. MY RESEARCH ON LINE SAYS IT'S THE POWERTRAIN MODULE. LOTS OF COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME ISSUE WITH FORD 2007 EDGE - SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL. I HAVE 96,000 MILES ON IT AND IT'S WELL MAINTAINED.

STOPPING VEHICLE THEN TAKING OFF VEHICLE WILL NOT MOVE ENGINE JUST REVS THEN A VERY HARD SHIFT AND IT MOVES HAD SENSOR IN TRANSMISSION REPLACED 3 TIMES DUE TO SAME PROBLEM NOW WHEN COLD VEHICLE UP SHIFTS VERY HARD ONCE IT WARMED UP SHIFTS FINE

TRANSMISSION SHUDDERS BETWEEN 5TH AND 6TH GEAR. ONLY ONE PREVIOUS OWNER. OWNED VEHICLE LESS THAN ONE YEAR. BECAME INCREASINGLY WORRISOME VERY FAST.

DRIVING CAR ON CITY STREETS AND ALL OF SUDDEN THE WRENCH LIGHT, LOW TIRE LIGHT AND AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON THEN THE BECAME SLUGGISH AS IF IT WAS GOING TO CUT OFF. THE CAR WAS HARD TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE IT MAKES A HARD THUG/GRINDING NOISE WHEN PUTTING IN GEAR. FORD STATES IT NEEDS A OSS (OUTPUT SPEED SENSOR).

WHILE DRIVING ON A FREEWAY SUDDENLY A PUNGENT SMELL FILLED THE CABIN AND THAT WAS UNBEARABLE ALONG WITH A HUGE CRACKING SOUND THAT DIDN'T STOP... TOOK THE NEXT EXIT AND STOPPED AT A PARKING SPOT. TOOK TO THE FORD DEALER THE SAME DAY AND THEY DIAGNOSED IMMEDIATELY THAT THE PTU NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND THAT'S A KNOW ISSUE WHERE ALMOST ALL THE FORD EDGES OF 2007 AND 08 HAVE THE PTU ISSUE. THE SMELL IS FROM THE OIL THAT LEAKED FROM THE PTU WHICH FELL ON THE EXHAUST. PAID AROUND $1800 TO REPLACE THE PTU. I AM WONDERING WHY THERE IS NO RECALL AS IT SEEM TO HAPPEN FOR MOST OF THE EDGES. CALLED THE FORD CORPORATE CUSTOMER CARE TO REPORT THE ISSUE AND THEY DIDN'T CARE TO LISTEN AND ASKED TO DEAL WITH THE LOCAL DEALERS. DIDN'T EXPECT THIS FROM FORD AND I WOULD REQUEST NHTSA ODI TEAM TO LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE AND FLAG THIS AS RECALL AS THIS COULD CREATE A SERIOUS CRASH WHEN IT HAPPENS ON A FREEWAY AS IT COULD SLOW DOWN THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY AND THINK ABOUT THE CONDITION OF THE INFANTS WHO COULD INHALE THE GASES. I LITERALLY HAD ISSUE INHALING FOR NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS AS THE SMELL WAS THAT BAD WHEN IT LEAKED. *TR

YOU LEAKING, HAD TO HAVE REPLACED AT MY EXPENSE. WAS DISCOVERED DURING OIL CHANGE. HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS REPORTS OF THIS ISSUE ON FORD FORUMS. SHOULD THIS BE A RECALL SINCE AFFECTING SO MANY VEHICLES.

DASH LIGHTS ALL DAY ON, SPEED ODOMETER QUIT AND CAR WOULDN'T ACCELERATE. GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 65 MILES AN HOUR. GEARS GRINDING WHEN TRYING THE PUT IN DRIVE. POWERTRAIN WRENCH LIGHT WILL NEVER T GO OFF. ALL THIS AND STILL OWE $6000 ON CAR AT 90000 MILES.

I WAS EXITING THE FREEWAY, SLOWING DOWN ON THE RAMP, AND I LOST COMPLETE LOSS OF ACCELERATION AS I CAME TO A STOP AT THE LIGHT. UP ON GREEN SIGNAL, EVEN WITH PUSHING OF THE GAS PEDAL, MY CAR DID NOT ACCELERATE. AND IN A FEW SECONDS, THE TRANSMISSION ENGAGED VIOLENTLY WITH A HUGE NOISE AND LED TO SUDDEN ACCELERATION, FOLLOWED BY LOSS OF ACCELERATION AGAIN. I TRIED PUSHING THE PEDAL ONE MORE TIME BUT REALIZED THAT THERE WAS NO ACCELERATION. I THEN STOPPED AND GOT MY VEHICLE TOWED TO A FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEIR FINDING IS THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED COMPLETELY.

WHEN DRIVING THE CAR GEAR WILL SLIP INTO NEUTRAL AND THE VEHICLE WILL NOT ACCELERATE, EVEN WHEN PRESSING ON THE GAS. THERE IS A "CLUNK" WHEN MOVING THE TRANSMISSION FROM PARK INTO DRIVE AND THE VEHICLE WILL NOT MOVE.

WHEN DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY IN HEAVY RAIN THIS OCCURS (3 TIMES NOW) ODOMETER DISPLAY CHANGES TO: ODO DATA ERROR MESSAGE THE ODOMETER SHOWS ONLY DASHED LINES FOR MILAGE THE SPEEDOMETER GOES TO ZERO THE SEAT BELT LIGHT GOES ON A WRENCH LIGHT APPEARS AFTER A FEW MILES: THE TIRE PRESSURE SIGNAL SOUNDS AND THE DISPLAY CHANGES TO TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR FAILURE AFTER STOPPING: IF ATTEMPT TO GO FORWARD, HIGH REVS SLOW SPEED TURN OFF ENGINE: WAIT 2 MINUTES: RESTART ENGINE DISPLAY CORRECTS ITSELF HIGH REVS WITH LOW SPEED A LOUD CLANG AND THE CAR TAKES OFF QUICKLY, DUE TO HIGH REVS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD EDGE. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, THE STOCK TRANSFER CASE ON THE VEHICLE WORE OUT. DUE TO THE TRANSFER CASE WEARING OUT, WHICH SENT POWER FROM THE TRANSMISSION TO THE FOUR WHEELS, THE VEHICLE MADE A LOUD GRINDING NOISE WHEN DRIVEN AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING WITH OUR TWO CHILDREN ON OUR ROAD (A BUSY ONE) AND THE ENGINE JUST STOPPED. SHE HAD TO PULL OVER WITH CARS ZOOMING BY HER AND SHUT OFF THE CAR AND TURNED IT BACK ON. ENGINE LIGHT WAS FLASHING, GO TO FIND OUT THE COILS AND PCM JUST WENT OUT. LOOKED ONLINE AND A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM.

PERSISTENT SMELL WHEN DRIVING AND THEN FOUND DARK "OIL" SPOTS THAT SPREAD THROUGHOUT UNDER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND ON MY GARAGE FLOOR AFTER BEING PARKED. BROUGHT TO FORD DEALERSHIP: PTU FAILURE IS WHAT WE ARE BEING TOLD. VERY COSTLY REPAIR/REPLACEMENT CHARGE OF PTU ASSEMBLY, APPROXIMATELY $1500. I'M PUTTING IN THIS COMPLAINT BECAUSE I HAVE SEEN MANY, MANY COMPLAINTS OF OTHER PEOPLE EXPERIENCING SIMILAR ISSUE WITH THIS MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR. PLEASE CONSIDER INVESTIGATING, AND IF THIS HAPPENED TO SOMEONE ELSE PLEASE PUT IN YOUR COMPLAINT SO IT WILL GO TO INVESTIGATION, THANK YOU! *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE WHEN I SUDDENLY LOST POWER. I MANAGED TO SOMEHOW GET MY CAR OFF THE ROAD AND EXIT THE HIGHWAY (I WAS JUST ABOUT TO THE EXIT WHEN THIS HAPPENED). IT WAS LOOKED AT BY A FORD DEALER WHO SAID THE PCM DIED AND TOOK OUT AT LEAST THREE COIL PACKS. TOLD ME IF I DROVE IT ANY FURTHER IT WOULD LIKELY CATCH FIRE. UP TO THIS POINT I HADN'T HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR. IT WAS RUNNING FINE. THIS ALL HAPPENED SO QUICKLY AND IN SUCH A DANGEROUS LOCATION THAT IT COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. UPON RESEARCHING PLACES TO FIX THE ISSUE, I NOTICED A RATHER LARGE AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE AND THIS SAME MAKE MODEL AND CAR YEAR. EACH COMPLAINT SAID THIS HAPPENED ON THE FREEWAY. *TR
