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

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....

Edge

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.

Edge

  • 80,000 miles
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.

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 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. Did not have this one fixed!! also had to have vehicle towed home one time costing even more money....

Edge 6-cyl

  • 82,000 miles
The vehicle began to overheat rapidly and the air conditioning began to put out hot air. I pulled the vehicle off of the road and turned everything off. Upon cooling down, water was added to the radiator and the vehicle was taken to the mechanic. The problem was an internal water pump. The water pump cost $1900 to have replaced. I contacted Ford and they said they cannot do anything, it is the design and how you have to access the water pump. I priced (3) different dealers on the repair and they were all within a few dollars of each other. This particular vehicle has not been reliable.
