2010 Ford Edge Power Train

WHILE MERGING ON TO I95, THE TRANSMISSION STARTED TO STUTTER AND WOULD NOT SWITCH INTO GEAR. I MANAGED TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT BUT THE SAME ISSUE HAS CONTINUED TO HAPPEN CONSTANTLY AND NOW THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS COMING ON. *TR

ORIGINALLY THE TRANSMISSION WOULD INTERMITTENTLY JERK WHEN IT WOULD DOWN SHIFT AT LOW SPEEDS, PRIMARILY GOING UP A HILL. SINCE THAT TIME, THE TRANSMISSION NOW INTERMITTENTLY SLIPS WHEN PULLING OUT FROM A STOP SIGN INTO TRAFFIC. THIS CONDITION IS UNSAFE AS ONCOMING TRAFFIC APPROACHES AND THE VEHICLE JUST BARELY MOVING. THIS 2010 EDGE HAS BEEN BACK TO FAMILY FORD ON FOUR OCCASIONS FOR THIS CONDITION WITH NO RESOLUTION. DURING THE LAST VISIT [XXX] THE SERVICE MANAGER STATED FORD MOTOR COMPANY WOULD DO NOTHING ABOUT THE INTERMITTENT PROBLEM UNLESS HE COULD VERIFY THE COMPLAINT. HE PUT BETWEEN 1200 AND 1500 HIGHWAY MILES ON THE VEHICLE AT INTERSTATE SPEEDS, EVEN AFTER TELLING HIM IT WAS INTERMITTENT AT LOWER SPEEDS. ON AN INTERMITTENT BASIS, THE TRANSMISSION IN THIS EDGE STILL EXHIBITS JERKING WHEN DOWN SHIFTING AND STILL SLIPS WHEN PULLING OUT FROM A STOP SIGN. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I'VE HAD THE TRANSMISSION VIOLENTLY ENGAGE WHILE ON HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH AT 7400 MILES ABOUT 5 MOS AGO. CAR SUDDENLY DECELERATED AND WENT INTO L GEAR AND SLOWED DOWN LIKE OUT OF GAS. I HAD TO PUT IT BACK INTO DRIVE. THEN WHEN PULLING OUT OF DRIVEWAY UPON ACCELERATION AT 11000 MILES. AGAIN SAME THING. 2 WEEKS LATER PUTTING INTO REVERSE WHEN STARTING CAR MADE AWFUL CRUNCHING AND POPPING SOUND LIKE RAN OVER SOMETHING. THEN 15 MIN LATER SLOWING DOWN AT STOPLIGHT AROUND 25-30 MILES AGAIN JERKED INTO LOW DRIVE DURING TRAFFIC. VERY SCARY ESPECIALLY WHEN WAS ON HIGHWAY WITH LITTLE KIDS IN THE CAR. FOUND SEVERAL OTHER REPORTS ON FORD EDGE FROM OTHERS. WHEN I WENT FOR 7500 MILE OIL CHANGE NOTIFIED THEM OF THIS PROBLEM BUT COULD NOT FIND A FORD REPORT IN SYSTEM. SINCE THEN HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. BRINGING CAR IN THIS MONDAY TO FORD. *TR

MY WIFE AND I BOUGHT A 2010 FORD EDGE LIMITED IN MARCH OF 2010. SINCE THAT TIME WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL OCCURRENCES OF THE TRANSMISSION NOT GOING INTO GEAR WHEN PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR FROM A DEAD STOP OR THE TRANSMISSION GOING IN AND OUT OF GEAR VERY ROUGH (SLAMMING IN OR OUT) DURING DIFFERENT SPEEDS. HAVE TAKEN IT INTO A FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAY THEY CAN'T FIND OR REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM, YET IT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN WHEN WE DRIVE THE VEHICLE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT WAS ACCELERATING 30 MPH FROM A COMPLETE STOP WHEN THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO SLIP WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE RANGE SENSOR AND VALVE BODY WERE REPLACED WITHIN THE TRANSMISSION. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 800.

FROM A STOP - ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE - TRANSMISSION SLIPPED BEFORE ENGAGING - TOOK SEVERAL SECONDS BEFORE FINALLY ENGAGING - HAD VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP ON FIVE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS WITH SOME REPAIRS BUT TRANSMISSION CONTINUES TO SLIP. *TR

FORD EDGE 2010 POWERTRAIN MALFUNCTION / REDUCED POWER POWERTRAIN MALFUNCTION INDICATOR: ILLUMINATES WHEN AN ELECTRIC THROTTLE CONTROL (ETC), TRANSMISSION, AWD/4X4 OR FUEL SYSTEM FAULT HAS BEEN DETECTED. *TR

I'VE HAD THE TRANSMISSION VIOLENTLY ENGAGE WHILE RIDING ALONG AT A NORMAL STEADY PACE. ONE TIME WAS ON THE HIGHWAY GOING ABOUT 60MPH. THE PEDDLE WAS SOLID BUT THE CAR DECELERATED LIKE I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS. ABOUT 5 SECONDS LATER THE TRANNY SLAMMED INTO GEAR AND RESUMED SPEED. IT SLAMMED SO HARD IT FELT LIKE WE GOT REAR ENDED. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID "IF IT WASN'T DOING SOMETHING WHEN I BROUGHT IT IN, THEY WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO FIND THE PROBLEM". IT ALSO HAPPENED ON A BACKROAD AT 30 MPH AND ALSO PULLING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO SLIP, WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO HESITATE WHEN DRIVING INTO TRAFFIC. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP BUT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS 1 1/2 QUARTS LOW WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED. FORD WAS CONTACTED STATED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT FORD SHOULD REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 10,000.

PURCHASED A 2010 FORD EDGE SEL AWD ON JULY 27, 2009. ON AUGUST 12, 2009, VEHICLE BEGAN BELLOWING SMOKE FROM THE WHEEL WELLS. BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE TO BE TOLD THAT THE PTU SEAL WAS BLOWN. THEY REPLACED THE SEAL AND INSTALLED A DEFLECTOR SO AS TO NOT BE ABLE TO SMELL THE BURNING FLUID AS QUICKLY. FORD HAS BEEN ISSUING TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS ON THIS SINCE 2007. DUE TO THE FLUID LOSS, IT CAUSES THE TRANSMISSION TO SLIP. FORD CONTINUES TO CLAIM THAT IT CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. ALSO, THE ENGINE IS SQUEALING LOUDLY, DUE TO THE ISSUES MENTIONED ABOVE. *TR
