2007 Ford Edge: grinding or squealing brakes

Filed May 18, 2019 · Fuel system, Wheels · 92,867 miles · GA

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

Driving car on city streets and all of sudden the wrench light, low tire light and airbag light came on then the became sluggish as if it was going to cut off. The car was hard to pull to the side of the road. The it makes a hard thug/grinding noise when putting in gear. Ford states it needs a oss (output speed sensor).

Tear in brake booster diaphragm. Covered in many other ford edge models of the same year, but for some reason not mine. However, ford does not seem able to provide me an explanation as to why not my car specifically. Was driving and when brakes were applied, they felt like a rock...then went to feeling super soft, with a hissing sound every time they were applied. Brakes alternated between feeling rock hard to super soft with hissing and I was almost unable to brake several times. Very scary and dangerous. When car was parked (not moving), but turned on and brake applied, there was a loud squeal sound each time.

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 ford edge. While the vehicle was stationary, the stock transfer case on the vehicle wore out. Due to the transfer case wearing out, which sent power from the transmission to the four wheels, the vehicle made a loud grinding noise when driven at various speeds. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 70,000.

2007 ford edge has ptu leak, the transmission is not shifting properly, the brake light bulbs are constantly blowing and melting in the socket. The brakes sound like they are grinding metal and the cd player decided to quit working too. I have read online of others having all of these exact same problems. The ptu and transmission problems should not be something that the owner should have to pay to have corrected when it is clearly a design flaw from the manufacturer. I am a single mother and still making payments on this car and cannot afford to pay thousands of dollars to have their design flaw repaired!! When in motion the transmission acts as though it doesn't know when to shift. It kind of feels like I am in a manual and haven't changed gears when I am supposed to and if I don't push the clutch in it will stall out. But instead this is an automatic behaving that way and instead of a clutch I have to give it more gas to get it to downshift or it acts like it is going to stall. This is a problem going 20 or below as well as 55 or above, it also feels like the driveshaft is vibrating the whole car when it does this. It started out being intermittent but now it is a daily occurrence, but it is all I have to drive to work so I deal with it. It needs to be recalled!!

I was driving along and attempted to stop at a red light. My brakes suddenly became extremely resistant to my foot pressure and a high pitched squealing noise accompanied the situation. I was not able to stop immediately but managed to escape a collision with oncoming traffic. I drove my vehicle, cautiously, to a ford dealership and the mechanic diagnosed the problem (brake booster) immediately. He stated he had two 2007 ford edge vehicles in the shop with the same problem (bad brake booster). The internet is flooded with this issue in the ford edge. I and many others have been effected financially and emotionally. A recall on the break booster is necessary to prevent further injury and financial loss to ford customers.

My brakes all of a sudden became very spongy with no warning. With a high pitch squealing noise when I pressed the petal to the floor. Then the petal became very hard to press. Mechanic told me I needed new rear brake pads and rotors. After replacing I am still having same problems with nearly crashing into the back of another vehicle. Now I am told I need to replace power brake booster.

My 2007 ford edge had been having what people refer to as a slipped transmission. At first it would not accelerate, and it would only go in reverse not forward. I turned it off and on twice and then it seemed to operate normally. I took it into the dealership the next day and I was first told there was no issue, then it happened again, this time it would also do a violent jerk as if I'd been rear-ended. The service dept replaced the computer chip (not sure which one but something to do with the transmission). A couple of weeks later it again failed to accelerate but this time it would not restart without a loud grinding noise. After towing it to the dealership, the transmission was completely replaced. However it has since started doing the exact same thing, bumping as if the car had been rear-ended as the car is in motion, in various circumstances. There are numerous complaints about the same issue on different forums. Please see http://www.fordforum.com/forum/ford-edge-73/edge-transmission-problems-7525/ and http://www.myfordedge.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=553 I have already filed a complaint with ford customer relations but they gave the impression that I was the only person with this problem, further my complaint would be sent to ford marketing but not engineering, which I find counterintuitive. The above forums are filled with ford edge owners who also feel unsafe in this vehicle. I hope if enough of us register our complaints an investigation will be initiated before there are serious injuries as a result of this faulty car.

This is my daughters vehicle. She complained of a noise in the front end while braking and sometimes while just driving at moderate speeds. Upon inspection I discovered that the inner brake pads on both front brakes were totally worn out and grinding on the metal while the outer pads had plenty of brake material left. The rotors were ruined! The rear brake pads also had plenty of material left. This is totally unacceptable and dangerous.
