Vehicle in motion on city road when vehicle all of a sudden makes loud/hard clank noise and immediately loses power - almost like it started towing a trailer! Loss of power, wrench light, tps light, airbag light all come on, speedometer stops working. Pulled over, loud/hard clank sound with every gear change p-2. Vehicle had displayed no issues prior to this. Dropped vehicle off at mechanic, when he looked at it next morning, vehicle is running perfect. 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 with no fixes known. 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 happens.

While driving my vehicle lost all power and I immediately tried to pull out of the main path of traffic. I had it towed to a transmission shop to determine cause. It is the transmission. I replaced it with a used unit from a similar vehicle, of which I have encountered a similar issues. A replacement of this unit is also producing a problem. It is now at the ford dealer's garage and I am told it is a transmission. Problem. This vehicle has 75k miles and I have maintained it to the comply with ford's specs. But, three transmissions in a short period of time... Something is not right???

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!

Lost power while driving at 65 MPH. Speedometer stopped working, warning lights -picture of wrench light, tire pressure came on. Said data ------ failure. It was terrifying. Made it to a parking lot. Turned off care & let it sit a few minutes. Restarted and it was back to normal. My research on line says it's the powertrain module. Lots of complaints for the same issue with ford 2007 edge - should have been a recall. I have 96,000 miles on it and it's well maintained.

I bought a 2007 ford edge in july of 2018. Less then 2 months later my PCM has gone bad burning up all 6 coil packs in my edge. I have contacted ford and there is a technical service bullentin on the PCM and coil packs, but was told not enough people have reported the issue to put out a recall. I can not afford over $2000.00 to have this fixed. Ford is aware that it is a defective part and I dont understand why there is not a recall on it. I was in the middle of 6 lanes of traffic during rush hour and the SUV just lost power. I could have been killed. I had no warning or anything the SUV just slowly started losing power and check engine light didnt even cut on until after I turned edge off and restarted. This is an issue in need of a recall asap! I have done alot of research and have found that the faulty PCM burns up the coil packs and everyone who is just replacing coils is going to have the same issue again since it is the faulty PCM burning the coils and until the PCM ($835) is replaced they will continue to keep replacing the coils ($80 x 6 =$480.00) none of these prices include labor! Also doesnt include the cost to reprogram the new PCM to my keys since if you dont flash the new PCM the edge wont start due to the keys our programmed specifically to the PCM installed to the edge. If you have already paid to have these issue fixed please still call ford when and if they issue a recall (which they need to!) you can submit your receipt and be reimbursed for cost to have it fixed! The PCM pushes to much electricity to the spark plugs in turn burning the coils and could possibly cause the SUV to catch fire!!!!! I have not been able to drive my edge in 3 weeks and still owe money on it!
