Driver's door ajar light comes on. Making a dining sound continuously, turning interior car lights on, and won't allow doors to lock. But the door is shut. This concerns me with the lights turning on at night, and what if I really do have a door that isn't shut. This can happen as soon as you start the car, or later while driving down the road.

Found the vehicle with a dead battery this morning. Battery is only 1.5 months old. Jump started the vehicle and then found that while running and doors closed, the door ajar light was on and all dome lights. Checked all doors multiple times, still would not shut off. Tried to lock doors while engine running and since the car believed a door was opened it immediately unlocked all the doors. Not looking forward to traveling with a risk of a dead battery again or on the highway with no ability to lock the doors. Seems Ford has exact same issues with other models. They need to recall the 08S as well.

My 2008 Ford Edge (since I brought it) has been having the same issue. When driving the vehicle, all of the lights on the panel will light up( wrench light, airbag light, tire pressure light...etc) the odometer will go off and have only dashes, the car will then have a loss of acceleration. The car feels like it is trying really hard to stay in gear or change gears.this will happen on the highway going 60mph as well as local roads at lower speeds. I will have to put my hazards on and pull over on the side. We figured out that if you disconnect the cables on the battery for a few minutes then reconnect the car will then run again ok. This is a serious hazard. I have almost been hit several times on the highway due to this issue and have been hit from behind getting on the highway already. I have taken the car to Ford several times only to be told that there is "no code reading" so they can not diagnose the problem. I have researched this to find out if other Ford Edges have the same issue and I came across a slew of other Ford Edge owners with the same issue. I have contacted Ford several times to be told that there are no recalls on this.

While driving my 2008 Ford Edge, the "wrench" light comes on and my car loses all power. When I step on the gas it is like I am in neutral my car will not drive. This is extremely dangerous especially in traffic. I am so scared I am going to be rear-ended. I did a lot of research and found many others have the same issue. Apparently it is the electronic throttle body.

Transmission disengages at random while moving in traffic. Once it occurs, vehicle cannot be moved under it's own power. Engine runs, but transmissions slips. High potential for being stranded in traffic and struck. Has occurred at least 4 times. Was able to coast to side of road. Electronics in dash act up, including service wrench and no speedometer. Apparently a known issue by Ford (tsb 07-21-11). Lots of common complaints online involving 2007-2008 model Edges. Related to faulty sensors (aa5Z-7H103-B & aa5Z-7M101-B).

My vehicle Ford Edge model 2008, lost control as well as speed when the wrench light came to the dashboard, immediately after the airbag light lit up, I had little or no engine power to engage gear to keep up with traffic speed. My speed dropped to 40 miles or less per hour. Very dangerous situation because at that moment the odometer lighting also went off. Driving on a highway at night no one drives below 40 miles per hour, made the situation pretty grave and dangerous. The problem comes from the power train faulty sensors near the transmission need to be replaced costing over $800,00, as for the airbag I haven't received a invoice yet.

First I was driving when my breaks started to feel like they were locking up. Come to find out it was the power break booster which cost me $504. Then 2 weeks later my car starts to do a putting feeling and come to find out 2 of the coils burnt up the power control module costing me $1058. A few months before this it was in the Ford dealership because of a leak on the fuel pump. Costing me $216. I am furious I have had to spend this in the last month. I just seen on the news that Ford has a recall on the power control module but it was not my year. I am simply asking if someone would please look into this so maybe I can get some of this money back to pay off the debt it caused me.

As everyone else, loses acceleration, shut off and it seems fine later. High RPM no power, as if it cant shift. No error lights, shaking along with sputtering when it has a load.....very dangerous as I drive major highway daily. Has been happening more frequently now

The blinkers stop working. You do not know this until cop stops you. Upon inspection I found that the socket had melted and had that molted look to them. The light bulbs had burnt out. This needs to be looked into since it is a potential fire hazard. Here is another complaint in your records reagarding the same issue- crash:no fire:no number of injuries:0 number of deaths:0 manufacturer: Ford Motor Company vehicle identification no. (VIN): 2fmdk38C48B... summary: Rear turn light sockets burn up with no warning light to display that your rear lights no longer work. You do not know until the police pulls you over to tell you which can result in fines. I had to pay to replace both rear light sockets (approx. $150)

When I was driving to work all of a sudden my airbag and wrench light came on and I have no speedometer or tachometer reading. If I pulled over and starting driving again I had very little pickup even though the rpms were over 2,000. There is also a very loud clunk when you put it in drive or reverse.

After driving for a while (roughly a few hours) the Edge does this hard jerk forward that feels like I'm practically being rear ended. It's like a hard pause, before it jerks forward. Then it gradually accelerates. Also, on a few occasions, while pulling out of a parking lot, the Edge did not want to accelerate though I was pressing on the gas. Mind you, I wasn't going fast because I had barely pulled out of the parking stall when this occurred. It barely accelerated then gradually came to a complete stop while in drive. This has also happened while I was exiting the freeway once. I initially thought my battery was the problem, but I had it replaced the following morning. I took it to the dealership and I was told nothing was wrong with it. This was the same response I got when I've taken it to Ford during the term of my warranty. I have noticed that if the "check engine light" isn't on, nor if you're not paid out of pocket, Ford does not recognize a problem. This problem is quite worrisome considering I'd hate to be stranded with my children in an intersection. I live in a very town (los angeles county) where traffic is steady and aggressive so knowing this problem can happen anytime is unsettling, especially because I have been rear ended once for not being able to proceed with traffic at a green light. 2008 Ford Edge, purchase in 2012
