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.

Driving going about 50 mph on county highway. Starting losing all power to vehicle, with a vehicle behind me also going at least 50 mph. Put hazard lights on right away, made it to a drive way and lights were diming, no power, engine light came on. When trying to excel speed, there was none. Took to auto shop to find out that it is the power control module. Seems like this is a frequent problem and needs there needs to be a recall on this.

While traveling from work to home had a lost of power and started making noise upfront so pulled over and checked everything and it was fine fluids checked regularly and was told it could be a ptu problem and it has the jerking and sometimes you hear a chain noise and sounds like a slapping sound. Has something leaking up by tranny pretty sure its the ptu cause that's exactly where's it's located and have read lots of things online and everything. Their should really be recall for the ptu unit before someone majorly gets hurt cause of the loss of power all of sudden when traveling. Was traveling highway home.

Vehicle was in motion for awhile, car was running okay until I came to a stoplight and then all of a sudden my car goes limp. My vehicle makes loud/hard clank noise. Loss of power, wrench light came on. Pulled over, loud/hard clank sound with every gear change P-2. vehicle had displayed no issues prior to this. I am able to pull the car over, turn it off and take they key out of the ignition. Then the wrench light is off when I restart the car. Stays in low gear for a long time when I start to accelerate, and until vehicle eventually accelerates faster, other cars almost running into the back of my car since my car is not accelerating at a normal pace. 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. 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 occurs!

Fuel leak and major water corrosion to undercarriage of car. Tried to get wheel barrings done and was told it would have to be welded off and on. I am still paying on this car and it is unsafe. They priced this car at 10000 with finance charge when I was told the car was 6500 I put 1500 down plus 746 make up downpayment. I have still been paying on it and I do not believe I should be because it cant be worth that much if this was a flood car. The car make a loud grinding noise which is the wheel barring but cannot be easily fixed. And will cost me alot of money while im still paying

My transmission is about to blow soon. I have a low income and doubt my ability to pay for a replacement. I wouldn't be writing this though if I was the only one being affected by it. After searching through forums and reviews, it would seem many people are suffering from the same issue. While in motion, the vehicle will skip gears and rev up while I'm slowing down. I'm not sure what to do at this point. It seems to be getting worse and worse. Any help or insight would be highly appreciated.

Takata recall I have been informed that my vehicle is no longer safe to drive while some one is in the passenger seat. If deployed 'metal fragments-to be expelled causing serious injury or death.'I called Ford to see if they might have a temporary solution reguarding this hazardous recall, since the possible replacement will not become available until the spring of 2018, the representative could not provide me with an answer. According to the rep Ford is not responsible. This airbag inflator is a huge problem in my life and I would have liked if they had rentals for the duration of this issue. Not only is it a hazard for the owner and my family but it is unethical for Ford company not to consider what could happen to the people who own defective vehicles. I own this Ford and have a family of five. I don't have other means to travel and take kids to school, soccer, and softball. This vehicle is our only way to be where we have to be. Ford is wrong for putting us out and putting my familys lives jeopardy.

The first time it happened a month ago, it was a similar issue that resolved itself within about 10 minutes. But the second time it happened 7 days ago, it lasted longer and unfortunately I had my 14 month old in the car. I was puling out of a parking space one late afternoon and proceeded to drive forward and noticed that it was reving very loudly even though it was barely moving. Whenever I would come to a light and stop or slow down to turn and then try to increase my speed I noticed that it would be reving so loudly and barely moving at first, but then after about 10 seconds it would start to move a little faster - but not as fast as it usually moves when I put the same amount of pressure on the gas pedal. I also noticed along the way that my spedometeer was not moving. It was stuck on 0mph the whole time. Then about 5 minutes into this horror, the wrench light came on and althoughh I had my seatbelt on and I had no front passenger, the setbelt light came on too. I managed to pull the car over near my home and moved into a space in front of a neighbor's house. When I went to back up and correct my parking the car made such a loud clunk sound. I then turned off the car and right then a message flashed on the dash board about 'check tire pressure' or something like that. But my tires were perfectly and properly inflated. The first incident shook me a little but it was only me in the car and I thought that maybe, (although unlikely), I made a mistake and was using the wrong gear to manuver. But after this second incident (especially with my baby in the car) I have not touched the car since. I bought it as a family vehicle, and if it could lead to me or my family being killed on the road, there is no point. I thank god that I avoid highways because I could not have imagined what would have happened if I was on a highway when this happened.

My car was parked in a parking garage to go to the gym for an hour. I come back to find the quarter window (truck side window) on the drivers side shattered for no reason at all. I made an insurance claim, but I still have to pay $500 out of pocket for something that Ford should pay for.

While driving at 40mph or greater, the car is skipping, jerking or hesitating. This started to happen while driving up a slight incline but now happens even on level road and happens several times during a 16 mile drive. Service department is unable to pin point the issue and it is getting worse. The other day while it was happening an orange engine emission light was blinking. I have been dealing with this for over a year and all the service department can say is that it is a bad engine coil but they don't know which one. From the looks of other forms, I am not the only 2007 Ford Edge owner this is happing to and it sounds like it is an expensive fix. There is obviously a problem with this make and model and Ford needs to step up and recall it.

Will be driving along at any speed and car will not accelerate, it does not stall but wrench light comes on and you can't do anything until you shut off the car and restart it. This has happened numerous times and hasn't caused an accident yet, but most certainly will eventually. This problem is well known, but is phrased as stalling when it truly doesn't stall, accelerator just doesn't work and car slows down quickly in traffic.

They seem to cannot find a problem car has been with auto nation Ford union city, ga 3 days now with no end in site. Was told by the service advisor that there was a recall on the master cylinders.
