P0301 misfire in the engine and P0201 fuel injecter both should be recalled on all 2007 Ford edges as me and another lady both wrecked hitting a small poles and the business owners was nice and said to make it home safely since there was no damage. I have done plenty of research and Ford is refusing to do any recalls on the spark plugs in the engine and the fuel injecter. Please recalls those so no one gets seriously hurt from it.

My alternator keep draining my new batteries from to much electrical pull and turns off all my digital dash and says my brake system is in failure and there is something wrong with the suspension in the front end even though I have had it fixed and the same problem has returned. I had my battery explode. The transmission jerks whenever it shifts and the transmission fluid is full and I maintain it on a regular basis. It is driven in town only. I am scared of it catching on fire now since I just saw that it is still has a recall that has not been repaired and I bought it used and I was told all recalls were taken care of. I have my grandchildren in this vehicle weekly. I want to see about getting this looked at and repaired correctly. I fear for my safety.

On 11/7-22, I stopped at a major traffic light on my way to work and when the traffic light turned green and I motioned to drive forward, I noticed my car had stalled and proceeded to roll backwards in traffic. I quickly placed my foot on the gas pedal to move forward, however my car continued to roll backwards, almost hitting the vehicle behind me. So I immediately put on my emergency lights and pressed the brakes repeatedly, however my brakes were frozen (hard) and did not stop my car from rolling backwards. After several minutes, my car stopped rolling backwards and I was able to restart it and slowly drive off the major highway to get assistance. When driving off the highway my car was moving extremely slow and rough. Since the incident, my car have not been inspected or repaired by a mechanic. Prior to this incident, my car have stalled out at stops and while driving but never rolled backwards or lost brake control.

I bought my car a few years ago from a used car lot. I have had problems ever since. My breaks keep going, my transmission is slipping and the trimming around my windshield is falling out. I'm afraid the windshield is going to fly off. All I keep seeing ate problems with this car.

Took to local Ford dealer (hondru Ford) for shudder/jerking between 40/60 mph, the issue could not be duplicated by the dealer but it continues to be a problem. From my online research there are other complaints regarding the same issues. The Ford Edge is serviced routinely, oil change etc.

My car was running rough using more gas got a coil code for my number 1 coil.bchanged plugs etc.. still running bad. Took it to Ford put on there computer and it came back as the PCM. Which can cause your car to catch fire to stop suddenky in middle of road use way more gas ruin all of your plugs and coils again. Why would Ford not fix this problem"why is this a problem?what if someone dies? then what" I have reiciepts upon reciiepts. Why are we the consumers the one who has to pay for your faults. I use my car for work. I take care of my cars and drive them like a lady should. No rough business in my car. Now I cant drive car because your PCM new is 1000. This will forever discourage me from buying another Ford. I dont understand how you can just ignore what is going on with alot of Ford Edges. One would think that your reputation would be important to you. It is not the driver or owners fault it is whomever made these computers. It happens to Edges with low to high miles. It doesnt matter. Its faulty computer that you need to care of.

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.

  • 77,291 miles
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.

Edge

  • 145,000 miles
2007 Ford Edge. History: Regular scheduled maintenance performed always, garage kept, taken well care of. Mileage at this time is 145K. ***driving along (in town) when I noticed the Edge was idling really low (note: 2 weeks after scheduled oil change, inspection and new battery)-all of a sudden heard this terrible clanking noise. It sounded like the whole car was falling apart. I pulled over in to a parking lot, shut the car off. Tried to crank it again and it wouldn't crank-finally did after several tries (still making this terrible sound). * warning lights, no fluctuating in gages---nothing. We had the Edge towed to our Ford dealership and were told the water pump went bad and the engine was destroyed. Our oil was full of water/coolant--it looked like muddy water. What" how? no warning, no signs" after much research we are finding that the water pump is inside the engine, therefore if the water pump "goes" there are no external signs of leakage---it's kindly leaking in to your engine and destroying it. This literally happened in a matter of minutes. Yes, this is safety issue--it left me stranded and now I'm without a vehicle for another week or so while a new engine is being ordered an installed. I can't believe Ford hasn't addressed this "design" issue with all the complaints I've read thus far. This deserves a recall and at the very least it deserves Ford's attention to be redesigned. Research also shows this is not just a Ford Edge problem---it's other Ford makes as well. This is now an $8000 "fix". please have this looked in to on the consumer's behalf.
