DURING LEFT TURNS ENGINE RPM'S DROP AND BRAKE PEDAL SOFTENS AND FLUCTUATES. CITY STREETS .. LEFT TURNS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH. THE VEHICLE EMITTED A LOUD NOISE UNDER THE HOOD AND THE WRINGER AND AIR BAG WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO COAST THE VEHICLE ONTO THE ROAD SHOULDER THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND RETURNED TO NORMAL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 116,000. UPDATED 02/21/17*LJ

2014 MY 2007 FORD EDGE JERKED AND REDUCED IN SPEED WHILE TRYING TO GO UPHILL IN MORNING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC LESS THAN 25 MPH. I PULLED TO THE SHOULDER TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF THEN BACK ON & IT WAS GOOD FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE DAY- THIS HAPPENED MORE THAN ONCE SO I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO MY AUTHORIZED MECHANIC (OF OVER 17 YEARS) WITHIN A WEEK OF THAT INCIDENT & THEY REPLACED SOME COMPONENT ASSOCIATED WITH THE TRANSMISSION. THE CAR WORKED FINE FOR A LITTLE OVER 18 MONTHS. 2016 IT HAS HAPPENED AGAIN WITH THE SAME ISSUE SAME AS BEFORE IN MORNING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC EXCEPT WITH THE JERK & AUTO DEACCELERATION THERE WAS A LOUD *BUMP AS IF SOMEONE REAR-ENDED ME. I PULLED OFF TO THE SHOULDER TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE THEN BACK ON & IT DID FINE FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES THEN IT HAPPENED A 2ND TIME SO AGAIN I PULL OFF TO THE SHOULDER TURN OFF THE VEHICLE THEN BACK ON & IT IS FINE-ALMOST AS IF THE VEHICLE RESETS WHEN YOUR TURN IT OFF THEN BACK ON. I TOOK THE CAR TO MY MECHANIC, THE OWNER IS WHO USUALLY DIAGNOSIS MY CAR IS ON VACATION OUT OF THE COUNTRY--UGH. AFTER EXPLAINING THE INCIDENT ONE MECHANIC TEST DRIVES IT FOR A COUPLE MINS THEN SAYS THE TRANSMISSION IS NO GOOD AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. CONSIDERING THIS VEHICLE IS GARAGED, & VERY WELL MAINTAINED ON A REGULAR BASIS I OPTED FOR A SECOND OPINION, ESPECIALLY SINCE THERE IS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS, ODOR, SMOKE, LEAKAGE OR ANYTHING THAT INDICATES SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSMISAION. JUST THE JERK WITH DEACCELERATION & MAYBE HESITATION WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE DURING THIS INCIDENT. THE SECOND SHOP'S DIAGNOSTICS CAME BACK SHOWING NO ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION NOTHING. TO YOU FORD I SAY I'VE WATCHED YOUTUBE VIDEOS & READ SIMILAR COMPLAINTS, OBVIOUSLY A RECALL IS NEEDED, PLEASE WATCH YOUTUBE AND DO MORE RESEARCH REGARDING YOUR PRODUCT THAT IS AFFECTING YOUR CUSTOMER BASE.

SAME COMPLAINT AS EVERYONE ELSE REGARDING WRENCH, LOW ACCERLERATION, VIBRATION, SHIFT, HESISTATION ALL OF A SUDDEN AND ALL BEING RANDOM IN AND OUT. I FILE A COMPLAINT BUT NOT SEEING IT LISTED THEREFORE BRIEFLY RESTATING. ALL OF THIS WHILE DRIVING.I HAVE DIAGNOSIC FROM MECHANIC AVAILABLE. RECALL NEEDED.

POWER TRAIN ISSUE WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 55MPH VEHICLE SUDDENLY DECREASED IN SPEED WITHOUT WARNING. WRENCH CAME ON AND CAR HESISTATED TO PICK UP SPEED AGAIN, FORTUNATELY CAR BEHIND ME DIDNT RA. TRIED TO ACCELERATE BUT COULDNT. JUST HIT 90,000 MILEAGE. WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF A PT RECALL. TOOK CAR IN FOR DIAGNOSIS AND INFORMED POWER TRAIN FAULT TO LOWER ACCERATION ISSUE CALL DEALERSHIP. SAME FAILURE LISTED FOR RECALL. CAR ALSO STARTED TO VIBRATE AND NOW THE WRENCH LIGHT COMES AND GOES RANDOMLY, SHIFTING GOES IN AND OUT RANDOMLY AS WELL. I HAVE A COPY OF MY DIAGNOSIS FROM MECHANIC SHOP, NO ABILITY TO UPLOAD IT. I CAN FAX IT.

PERSISTENT SMELL AND LEAKING TRANSFER CASE THAT SPREAD THROUGHOUT UNDER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND ALL OVER MY DRIVEWAY. VERIFIED THROUGH FORD DEALERSHIP: PTU FLUID LEAKING FROM THE INPUT SHAFT SEAL AND FROM UPPER VENT PORT. FLUID SAMPLE DIRTY/GRITTY WITH METAL. COSTLY REPAIR/REPLACEMENT CHARGE OF PTU ASSEMBLY, CLOSE TO $1500. I'M PUTTING IN THIS COMPLAINT BECAUSE I HEARD A LOT OF 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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. THE VEHICLE JERKED AND LEAKED TRANSMISSION FLUID. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR INSPECTION. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 107,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THE SAME FAILURE LISTED IN THE RECALL FOR THE POWER TRAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED, BUT NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 127,000.

THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING AT TIMES WHERE IT WON'T MOVE AND SURGING AT TIMES WHERE YOU HAVE POOR CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE. THIS JUST STARTED AT 88,420 MILES WHEN MY WIFE WAS COMING HOME FROM THE STORE. THE MAINTENANCE IS UP TO DATE ON THE ENTIRE DRIVELINE OF THIS VEHICLE.

MY 2007 EDGE STARTED TO EMIT A FOUL SMELL EVERY TIME I STEPPED ON THE BRAKES. IT WOULD SMELL LIKE SOMETHING WAS BURNING AND A COUPLE OF TIMES I PULLED OFF THE ROAD TO DOUBLE CHECK AND MAKE SURE THAT THE CAR WAS NOT ON FIRE. I TOOK THE CAR INTO A FORD DEALER TO HAVE THE FUEL TANK RECALL COMPETED SINCE THEY FINALLY CAME IN AND THEY NOTICED A LEAK IN THE PTU AND THAT IT WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED AND WOULD COST OVER $1350 TO BE REPLACED AND INSTALLED. THE PART ALONE IS OVER $800. FORD HAS HAD AT LEAST 3 SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THIS ISSUE AND STILL REFUSES TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR FIXING THIS SAFETY ISSUE.

TRANSAXLE NOT HOLDING VEHICLE STATIONARY WHEN STOPPED ON A HILL IN DRIVE WITHOUT SERVICE BRAKE APPLIED. THE VEHICLE WILL BACKWARD (WON'T HOLD).

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING AT 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE AND JERKED WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT SMELLED A BURNING ODOR AND NOTICED FLUID LEAKING UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSFER CASE SEAL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

DRIVING AT 55MPH IN HEAVY TRAFFICE VEHICLE ALL OF A SUDDEN LOST POWER AND PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL DID NOTHING. CAR JERKED AND SHUDDERED AND WAS LIKE IT WAS IN NEUTRAL. ALMOST CAUSED A SERIOUS COLLISION. TURNED CAR OFF AND T HE BACK ON AND WAS BALE TO GO AS LONG AS I STAYED UNDER 30MPH. VEHICLE WOULD SPORADICALLY "REV" UP WHEN I PRESSED THE GAS BUT WOULD NOT HAVE EXTRA POWER. HAD TRANSMISSION FLUID CHECKED, LEVEL WAS PERFECT. LEFT THE SERVICE SHOP AND WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AND WENT TO ACCELERATE AND IT ACTED AS IF IT WERE IN NEUTRAL AGAIN, IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY ROAD. HAD TO HAVE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT REDIRECT TRAFFIC DUE TO MY CAR BLOCKING 2 LANES. HAD TO BE TOWED AWAY.

GENERALLY, SHORTLY AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE SOMETIMES I WOULD COME TO A STOP, AND WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO GO THE ENGINE WOULD REV BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. IT WAS LIKE IT WAS IN NEUTRAL, AND THERE IS AN ORANGE WRENCH THAT LIGHTS UP ON MY DASHBOARD. WHEN PLACING THE CAR BACK INTO PARK THERE WOULD BE A HARD SHIFT ON THE ENGINE. AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF FOR A FEW SECONDS AND RESTARTING, IT WOULD WORK LIKE NORMAL. IT DOES IT VERY SPORADICALLY, SOMETIMES ONCE EVERY COUPLE MONTHS SOMETIMES A COUPLE TIMES A WEEK. IT SEEMS VERY RANDOM. TODAY IT DID IT TO ME WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 40MPH. IT WAS THE FIRST TIME IT HAD DONE THIS WHILE I WAS DRIVING. WHEN IT HAPPENED THERE WAS A SPUTTER FROM THE ENGINE, LIKE A HARD SHIFT, AND THEN I NOTICED THE ORANGE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AND IT FELT LIKE IT WAS IN NEUTRAL. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO GET CHECKED BUT THE MECHANICS CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND THERE ARE NO ERROR CODES THAT COME UP. MY RESEARCH ONLINE SAYS THAT IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE POWER TRANSFER UNITS SEALS LEAKING, BUT I WOULD THINK THAT PROBLEM WOULD CAUSE THE CAR TO NOT WORK WHEN RESTARTED. NOT TO MENTION THE OTHER SYMPTOMS OF A LEAK, INCLUDING SMELL, ARE NOT PRESENT. THE OTHER SOLUTION COMMONLY MENTIONED IS REPLACING SENSORS, BUT THEN A LOT OF THOSE REVIEWS SAY THEY END UP REPLACING SO MANY SENSORS AND THEN IT STILL HAPPENS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD EDGE. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IDLING, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE WRENCH WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 136,400. UPDATED 11/19/15*LJ

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SHIFT LEVER BECAME STUCK IN THE PARK POSITION. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 69,000.

I NOTICE OIL LEAKING I PUT ON JACK STANDS TO EXAMINE SO I DID SOME RESEARCH AND I HAVE WHAT'S CALLED THE PTU WHICH IS PART OF THE TRANSFER CASE FOR THE AWD IT APPEARS THERE IS AN INNER SEAL AND OUTER SEAL. IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S THE OUTER SEAL LEAKING FROM THE PTU THE SIDE THAT THE CV AXLE IS ON CONNECTED TO PASSENGER TIRE. I CALLED FORD AND THEY WANT 1200-1500 DOLLARS TO FIX A SEAL THAT'S NOT RECALLED. IT'S KNOWN TO BE HAPPENING TO ALL FORD EDGES I HAVE NO WARRANTY ON THE VEHICLE WHICH MAKES IT HARDER TO AFFORD TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR. *TR

WHEN THE CAR IS STOPPED ON AN INCLINE, IF YOU LET OFF THE BRAKES THE CAR WILL ROLL BACKWARDS AND WHEN YOU GIVE IT GAS THE TRANSMISSION JERKS REAL LOUD INTO GEAR.

A FEW WEEKS AGO, I NOTICED THERE WAS A NOISE COMING FROM SOMEWHERE THAT SOUNDED LIKE A WHEEL BEARING, I TOOK IT TO A FEW PLACES TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT. THEY CAME UP WITH DIFFERENT THINGS, FINALLY I GOT TO THE RIGHT PLACE AND THEY FIGURED OUT THAT IT WAS THE PTU. THEY SAID THE SEAL HAD LEAKED ALL THE OIL OUT AND DESTROYED THE BEARINGS. YOU DON'T KNOW THE OIL IS LEAKING OUT AS IT GOES INTO THE EXHAUST AND EVAPORATES. THEY WERE ABLE TO FIND ME A USED ONE THAT THEY WENT THROUGH AND FOUND IT TO BE GOOD. COST WAS $1,800 TO REPLACE. AS I UNDERSTAND, FORD HAS COVERED UP THIS PROBLEM FOR MANY YEARS. I HAVE SEEN MANY SIMILAR PROBLEMS IN THE COMPLAINT SECTION FOR EDGES AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. I THINK FORD SHOULD BE MADE TO RE-IMBURST ALL COMPLAINTS WITH THIS PROBLEM. I AM ON A FIXED INCOME AN THIS UNEXPECTED EXPENSE KEPT US FROM OUR VACATION TO VISIT OUR FAMILY IN PENNSYLVANIA AND I AM VERY UPSET.

THE VEHICLES TRANSMISSION SLIPS THEN BANGS INTO GEAR WHEN ACCELERATING AFTER A ROLLING STOP, ACCELERATING FROM LOW SPEEDS UP HILL, OR AT ANY SPEED AFTER COASTING DOWN A HILL AND HAVING TO REV UP TO GO BACK UP A HILL. CAR FEELS LIKE A REAR END COLLISION OCCURRED.

PTU UNIT KEEPS LEAKING. HAD UNIT REPLACED IN 2012 AND NOW JUST HAD TO HAVE IT DONE AGAIN IN 2015. *JS

DRIVES FINE AND THAT AT TIMES ACTS AS IF IT IS STUCK IN GEAR OR NEUTRAL. I BOUGHT THE CAR AS A CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED AND WITHIN ONE YEAR HAD TOTAL TRANSMISSION FAILURE. WARRANTY COMPANY REPLACED, AND NOW THE TRANSMISSION IS ACTING AS IF IT IS STUCK IN GEAR INCONSISTENTLY. SOMETIMES IT DRIVE PERFECT AND THEN WHEN I AM DRIVE AROUND TOWN IT ACTS AS IF IT IS STUCK IN GEAR. *TR

SINCE I PURCHASED VEHICLE, WILL BE DRIVING AND ALL OF A SUDDEN NO POWER, CAR DOES NOT DIE OUT. IT IS STILL RUNNING, BUT YOU CANNOT GO ANYWHERE, WRENCH LIGHT COMES ON. IT'S DONE IT AT RANDOM, DEAL NEVER FINDS ISSUE. IT IS NOW HAPPENING EVERY DAY AND WILL THROW A THROTTLE BODY CODE, SAME ISSUE AS WITH OTHER FORDS. COMPLAINTS ARE ALL OVER THE INTERNET, DEALERSHIP HAS TOLD ME THEY'VE SEEN IT WITH ALMOST ALL FORD EDGES. IT IS THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDING TO BE RECALLED. THERE IS A FORD TSB ON OTHER MODELS OF FORD WITH THE SAME EXACT ISSUE. THIS CAN CAUSE A FATAL ACCIDENT AS THE CAR JUST STOPS ACCELERATING SO IT SLOWS DOWN QUICKLY. THE ONLY RESOLUTION IS TO SHUT IT OFF AND RESTART IT. THIS ALSO CLEARS THE CODE SO THAT'S WHY IT'S HARD TO TROUBLESHOOT AT THE DEALER. FORD NEEDS TO STEP UP AND DO SOMETHING BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. I JUST DON'T DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY ANY LONGER BECAUSE I'M AFRAID OF BEING REAR ENDED AT HIGH SPEEDS BECAUSE OF NEGLIGENCE ON FORD'S PART.

THE PTU IS OVERHEATING AND SPILLING OUT THE BREATHER TUBE. *TR

ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO MY 2007 FORD EDGE BEGAN TO LEAK A FLUID WHICH I THOUGHT MAY HAVE BEEN TRANSMISSION FLUID. ONCE I NOTICED THE LEAK I STOP DRIVING THE VEHICLE. I TOOK IT INTO THE LOCAL FORD DEALER (WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE) AND I WAS TOLD I NEEDED TO HAVE THE TRANSFER CASE REPLACED. THIS IS VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR SO I DECIDED TO SEE IF THIS ISSUE HAD OCCURRED IN OTHER 2007 FORD EDGES. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE VERY PREVALENT BUT FORD HAS DECIDED TO LEVY THIS EXPENSE TO THE CUSTOMER RATHER THAN ADMIT THERE IS A REAL ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE'S DRIVETRAIN. I WOULD LIKE TO CHALLENGE FORD TO DO WHAT MAZDA HAS DONE WITH THE "SISTER" VEHICLE AND COVER THE COST OF THIS REPAIR. *TR
