2007 Ford Edge engine complaints

The vehicle began to overheat rapidly and the air conditioning began to put out hot air. I pulled the vehicle off of the road and turned everything off. Upon cooling down, water was added to the radiator and the vehicle was taken to the mechanic. The problem was an internal water pump. The water pump cost $1900 to have replaced. I contacted ford and they said they cannot do anything, it is the design and how you have to access the water pump. I priced (3) different dealers on the repair and they were all within a few dollars of each other. This particular vehicle has not been reliable.
I was driving my vehicle and noticed it jerking and hesitating to accelerate. The engine light became blinking rapidly and I noticed a burning smell. I took my car to a shop, who stated that one of the coils had melted and cracked. They replaced the coils and all spark plugs. Picked my vehicle up and still had the same issues, constant jerking, engine light still on, and still not wanting to accelerate. Took vehicle back the following day, shop stated the PCM was bad and needed to be replaced. I then contacted a local ford dealership, who claimed they had never heard of this issue, and I would need to pay for them to run their own diagnostics on it, even though I was well aware of what was wrong with it. As of right now the car is still not fixed, and runs horribly. I refuse to spend anymore money on a problem that ford is well aware of!!!
Was driving at 45 MPH when the car suddenly overheated and in a matter of seconds it cracked the block. The dealership it was towed to couldn't even tell me how something like that could have happened. This car has been well taken care of. Needless to say...I had to buy a whole new engine for it. I don't think this was anything that I did that made this happen. Honestly I think it is something ford should really look at if the service mechanics at a ford dealership can't even tell me how it happened.
I was driving my 2007 ford edge with 3 children in it when all of a sudden I lost the ability to not only accelerate but my speed suddenly fell from 45 miles an hour to 15 miles an hour without any ability to accelerate. My car was in a constant state of shaking and sputtering and increased when applying the brakes. There was something significantly wrong and it was pretty scary to experience particularly with 3 small children. I had the car towed to my automotive service company where the car's software system displayed codes indicating two ignition codes failed. Subsequently, the service provider replaced all the spark plugs and two coils. The car was not fixed and it was further determined that the PCM board is sending extremely high current to the ignition coils and could have caused an engine fire. This is very distressing. Ford has issued an internal tsb acknowledging this issue but has not enacted a recall. The estimated cost to replace the PCM, spark plugs and coils (6) is approximately $3,000. Additionally in my research there is a class action lawsuit that has been filed by a group of ford owners.
My vehicle all of a sudden started to slow down suddenly like I had taken my foot off the gas. It started shuddering and my transmission light came on. I thought it was the transmission so I had it towed to the shop. After diagnosis, it showed my cylinders were misfiring. It was due to a bad coil which was causing the spark plugs to read at an extremely high voltage. They needed to replace all coils and all spark plugs. Then found out that it fried my PCM(computer) which also had to be replaced. Come to find out, this is a know issue with the 2007 ford edge and there is a tsb on it for this exact situation. The dealership told me that the PCM had a malfunction which caused the coils/spark plugs to go bad. They also said the PCM has a manufacturer 8 year/80,000 mile warranty. Well I was at 7 years/83000 miles and when they submitted the warranty claim, ford denied it forcing me to pay $2400 for the repairs. I think this is ridiculous to deny a known malfunction for only 3000 miles over. What if I had been on the highway when my vehicle suddenly came to a stop? I had my son with me that day and this could have caused a major accident, possibly involving other drivers, and we may have even been injured. And ford doesn't feel responsible to help with the cost of this repair??
Since feb 2014, my 2007 ford edge seemed to be wanting to stall when I was driving and/or trying to accelerate. I didn't think anything of it as it wasn't a 24/7 issue but it did happen regularly. Yesterday everything changed. I went to turn my car on yesterday and it didn't turn on right away. It was "trying" to start and then it would shut down. I would try to start it again and once again, it was "trying" to start and eventually did. I was driving home on the highway when I began to notice that I wasn't able to accelerate and I was going slower and slower so I managed to pull over to the break down lane and then the car just shut off. Once again, it didn't turn on the first time I tried but then it did the second time but reluctantly. The lights were dim on my dashboard which hadn't happened before. I managed to get home very slowly. I shut my car off at home and tried to turn it on and again it was struggling to turn on. I took the car to the dealer today and I was told that the throttle body had to be replaced. The service tech went on to explain that he has seen this issue especially in the year and model that I have. I have googled this issue online and see that the federal safety agency had been looking into this same issue/complaints but with a later year as well as well as other models. I don't understand why this wasn't a recall as this could have been a dangerous scenario. I was on the highway when this occurred and thankfully not with my children. I see several complaints online for the same issue. I need to pay to get this fixed but I feel this should be coming out of ford's pocket as it seems like it was a defective part. This complaint should be opened again and a formal recall should be established. This could be potentially very dangerous and even fatal.
Driving at low speeds the vehicle will shift very hard, feels like someone rear ending me. The transmission feels like it has a hard time getting into gear. At high speeds the same thing happens but usually on hot days. The transmission finally gave out at 75000 due to the hard slamming and had to be rebuilt. I was leaving a driveway and was unable to accelerate, putting me at risk of being hit from behind. This could have been disastrous at high speeds. At 78000 miles I am still having the same problem, I turn the vehicle on the transmission slams into r and then I cannot accelerate past 10 MPH. I turn the vehicle off and restart it, and it seems like nothing every happened. This happens intermittently and the check engine lights come one only every once in a while it is happening. Worried about me and my babies safety while driving.
We noticed an oil like substance leaking from underneath the front end of the car. We took it to a ford dealership and they told us it was the transfer case needed to be replaced. Not only is it a $1500 repair but it is a common problem happening to ford edge's years 2007 - 2011. Sounds to me like a recall should be made on this part. We caught ours early, so not sure what could've happened if we continued to drive ours around.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 ford edge. The contact stated that the vehicle misfired intermittently, shook violently and the check engine light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a private mechanic where it was found that the PCM needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted about the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 98,000.
While driving approximately 60 MPH, the vehicle shuttered and there was a loss of acceleration power. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an automotive repair shop where it was diagnosed that the 6 ignition coils, spark plugs and the PCM system needed to be replaced. The current mileage is 97395.
Second time a year or so later electrical cooling radiator fan goes out. Replacing again.
Electric radiator cooling fan quit. Car overheated. Had to be replaced.
I was driving on the highway when my check engine light came on and I noticed my thermostat climbing about to over heat. I pull of at the nearest exit and stop at an oil change service station. The mechanic say I had no antifreeze in the car. He refills the antifreeze and I was on my way. 20 mins into my drive, the check engine light on and the thermostat looks fine, but the car started sputtering and stopped in the middle of a busy area of nyc. I had the car towed to a mechanic and after their diagnostic test they said the engine head is cracked or warped and they found antifreeze mixed in oil and radiator and will cost $2500 to fix! Wtf!! Is this allowed to happen?? I took great care of this vehicle and I feel like a sucker! Now I can't get to work, can't get my kids to or from school and I'm not sure what to do at this point!
Since january 2010 transmission slip only happens periodically about 8 to 10 times a year ..since 11/2012 trembling/shudder to the engine when vehicle accelerates between 45-50mph (torque converter) or replace transmission recommended by service center on 10/16/2013. On 1/31/2013 recall service completed on my vehicle malfunction indicator lamp (mil) on with diagnostic trouble codes powertrain control module (PCM) with 1 or more damaged coil(s) on plugs.
January 18, 2013, in the middle of winter, drove 2007 ford edge, with 40,466 miles, to an auto repair shop because the heater & defroster were not working. The auto repair shop flushed the coolant and the heater core and installed new coolant because the heater core was clogged with metal debris. Eight months later, september 22, 2013 and 57,000 miles, same problem, the heater & defroster were not working. Five days later, returned the vehicle to auto repair shop because of strong coolant smell and the engine fans were turning off and on. This time, the shop determined the heater core is clogged and needs to be replaced. In addition, the auto repair shop discovered ford's tsb 09m04s1. This ford tsb, issued 3/31/2010, guarantees the following: "owners of affected vehicles are entitled to a cooling system flush and refill and a warranty extension on the heater core to six years or 105,000 miles from four years or 50,000 miles. Affected vehicles may have poor heater performance." ford motor co acknowledges a manufacturer's defect; however, after three escalated demand letters and three escalated demand phone calls, ford motor co refuses to honor their warranty and make the $2600 in necessary repairs to get the 2007 ford edge with 57,000 miles back on the road because, ford says, the warranty expired on may 1, 2013.
We started up our car on a sunday morning, put it in reverse, backed out of our spot, and then put the vehicle in drive. Right away, we noticed the car shaking, not much power, and it was sputtering along. The check engine light was flashing as well, indicating engine misfire. The car was towed to a ford dealership. The ford dealership ran a diagnostic and determined that the pcu had overheated and the cylinder coils melted. They also said the pcu is no longer operable and needed to be replaced, along with the coils and plugs. Generally, engine misfire indicates a tune-up is needed; however, in this case, the car needs a brand-new computer. The dealership quoted us at 2,700 total for the repair. Furthermore, this is a known issue with the car, as determined by ford, as it issued technical service bulletin 13-4-7, citing this model and several others as prone to this malfunction. Ford should recall this model and have the issue fixed. No recalls even though this poses a fire hazard? Shocking.
On saturday august 17,2013 I was getting my basketball team supplies from the back of my car, my daughter was helping me. I was not leaning extremely close to the vehicle just standing normally and the exhaust pipe burned my leg. The burn is extremely bad, shortly after my daughter went to grab the rest of the stuff from the back of my car and she burned her leg as well. Last month my friend was helping me remove groceries from the back of my car and she also got her leg burned on the exhaust pipe. My car was parked in my drive way for all three incidents. I am extremely concerned for my children. I also will have an extremely bad scar on my leg for ever due to the burn.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 ford edge. The contact stated while driving approximately 73 MPH there was a slight reduction in the engine power. The vehicle began to vibrate violently. There were no warning indicators illuminated at the time of failure. The vehicle was maneuvered to the side of the road for inspection. The vehicle was then taken to an authorized dealer for diagnosis. The ignition coil assembly, hla engine control module and PCM were replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 84,334. ...updated 07-24-13 *bf the consumer stated after the repairs were done, the vehicle continued to exhibit erratic irregular shifting, although not to the extent for which he brought the vehicle in.
I have been experiencing very odd unexplainable events with my 2007 ford edge since fall of 2012 which has now resulted in full failure of my transmission. Beginning in the fall, my edge started to give me warning messages on my electronic dash panel reading "tire pressure monitor fault", once put in reverse, the car would make a violent jerking motion and loud ugly sound. The message on the dash would then change to read "odb data error". The wrench and airbag icons would be lit. After shifting to drive, the car sounded as if it was in high gear, but it would refuse to accelerate to a fast speed. Once driving, the speedometer would not register speed, it would sit at 0 MPH. The digital odometer failed to display anything. As I drove, the transmission would not shift or it would seem to try to shift and then the car would make the same violent jerking motion as I experienced when I put it in reverse. If I stopped, it would be difficult to get the car moving, it wouldn't want to move/accelerate. The car would also make unexpected lunging movements while driving. The car would also on occasion suddenly stop accelerating while driving, almost as if it had automatically shifted into low gear. This happened to me several times while driving on the expressway. Not safe! On monday, june 17, 2013, my transmission failed completely. Unacceptable for a car my age! As I have begun to investigate this problem on the web, to my surprise, this problem is extensive. Ford owners have been complaining about this for years, yet ford has failed to recognize this problem with a recall. Help! This problem is costly and potentially hazardous!!!

While driving my five old sons to school yesterday morning, I start noticing the car stops changing speed and start shaking all the sudden then the engine service light start blinking. I have slowed down and keep driving my soon to school but it was bad experience driving with morning traffic. I am glad that I am not driving on the big highways the consequence could be different. The dealer told me the ignition computer (RPM) is causing one of the ignition coil to melt and crack. For sure this is a big safety concern on this car that requires recall.
If I accelerate more than 15 MPH the car would what I call "slam" into the next gear. When I am accelerating onto the highway or accelerate and then back off the gas and go again or if I accelerate into the passing lane the car doesn't drive. I have had the car to bethlehem ford, kelly ford in emmaus and gilboy ford in whitehall for the problem two times at each location. No one can find out what is wrong. Contacted ford directly and they say take it to the dealership for repair, I told them I did numerous times and they told me this."the car learns how you drive, so when you drive out of character the car basically reacts by telling you now wait a minute I don't know what you're doing and the car reacts in a confused manner". They also told me that because I'm not an aggressive driver that when I do drive aggressive "the car doesn't understand". I drive highway every day to and from work, I have to be aggressive most of the time to survive on the highway and keep up with traffic. I have asked the dealership to come down the block so I can show them what the car does since it does it every day when I leave work but they tell me they can't because it is a liability issue for them to drive in the car with me. They have had the car and can't make it repeat the situation; I have gone on test rides with a mechanic and can't make it repeat the problem. I was taking one of our employees to go pick up one of the company vehicles at gilboy and I said do you want me to show you what my car does and he said yes. So I made the car do the slamming into gear and he said that isn't right he tried to fight for me at gilboy but they said again no code and they couldn't repeat the situation. Now my car is almost out of warranty and still no fix. I don't have money to make major repairs to a car that is why I bought new and I don't have money to buy a new car.
While driving my '07 ford edge on the expressway I noticed that my car would not accelerate above 60 MPH and began stalling. I exited the expressway to notice this burning smell coming from under the hood of my car. I attempted to drive it to a safe place to park when it just completely shut down. I had the car towed to a well know auto shop where I was told that an ignition coil was burned and the reason my car stalled. I had the ignition coil replaced and the car still would not restart. I had it towed to another shop and was told the crank shaft and cam shaft sensor needed to be replaced. I paid for these services and finally was told the computer on the car was burned and this is the reason that my car would not start. Finally my car has been towed to ford and I am awaiting its fate. I have only had the car for two years and this is the second electrical issue that I have encountered with this vehicle. At first, I was changing rear turn signals almost 1-2 a week. I purchased my edge january 2010 and had to replace the battery july 2010. After reading other forums I am concerned about the potential electrical fires that this SUV could produce.
The 2007 ford edge started to have a problems, shaking, stalling. 6/1/12 took vehicle to pep boys thinking it was a sensor or something similar. The ignition coils were melted from a enclose explosion of the part.. Upon replacing the parts, the car fail to run properly. Pep boys called the local ford dealership to inquire ford dealership knew right away what the problem was. They openly admitted that this was a serious fire danger and the car had to brought to them to fix. Has something to with the engine computer but..... No recall for year 2007 was told how lucky I was that the car did not explode or catch fire. The ford service dept has run into the problem several times and seem to aware of the danger of this problem. I was forced to pay ford dealership prices for 6 ford ignition coils at their price, new engine computer at ford price plus labor at ford labor prices, plus tune up. And no assurance that my car would not catch fire or explode for that fact I would say that this is a consumer safety issue, wouldn't you?
There are three main issues with my 2007 ford edge. First the brakes make noises and sometimes work and sometimes don't. The tires kept going flat. I have replaced all 4 four tires and one front and one back tire twice now. The transmission slips frequently.
For the last year or more my car (2007 ford edge sel) has been stalling. I brought my vehicle into ford while it was still under warranty and was told they didn't find anything. It continued to happen on and off so we brought it back to ford in june 2010 and they could not find anything they hooked it up to the computer and did an update, they thought this would solve it. A week later it started again but this time started stalling while driving. It happened while I was driving down a winding hill, I lost completed control of the car and had no steering, I quickly shifted into neutral and restarted while trying to keep the car on the road. It was very scary as I had my 2 children in the car. The car is currently back at ford and has been for the last 2 weeks as the vehicle is no longer safe to drive. They say they can't find anything wrong. After searching the internet I found 6 or more case of the same complaint with the ford edge 2007 and 2008 but yet ford doesn't know what is causing this.

Our 2007 ford edge has experienced the engine cutting off without warning three times. The dealer reprograms the PCM module but the problem continues. It was reprogrammed on 7/20/2010 and it cut off again on 7/23/2010 at 50 MPH again without any warning. This is an unnerving ,unsafe condition. This has happened over a 13 month period, twice now within a month.
