I am frustrated with this car. I have had it for a year and nothing but issues, I was experencing where I would go to start the car and the car would not turn over I could sit and try for about 5 minutes and it would turn over. I learned if I pounded on the dash it started. Also when I am driving at any all the warning lights on the dash board light up and the spedometer and rpms stop working and the computer part states no data. Some times it stays on for a while some times it goes off immediately, another rememdy is I will lightly tab the dash and the lights come back on. When I purchased this vehicle a transmission was just put in and now not even a year later it is shifting hard and driving very bad. From looking over the internet this seems to be a common issue. Why are they not putting out an recall. Shame on ford for this issue

The vehicle was always running kind of rough and shifting kind of hard reverse would not with bang and in gears on the freeway but then the check engine light came on and I took it and had it put on an odb reader it said p0353 ignition coil c so I had that replaced along with the spark plugs all six of them and it did not clear the code driving down the street all of a sudden the battery light came on and the car just died I had it brought to repair shop they put it on the scanner it read ignition coil a b c d e f. So I got an ignition coil pack which consisted of 6 ignition coils and 6 more spark plugs brand new and had those installed and now the car won't start and I checked the fuses several relays are blown and it keeps popping fuses and there's a draw on the battery which I had to remove the battery and buy a new one because my reverse lights just just the reverse lights were on when my car wasn't even on or he was not in the ignition and it was not in any power for any light source position

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!

2007 ford edge. History: regular scheduled maintenance performed always, garage kept, taken well care of. Mileage at this time is 145k. ***driving along (in town) when I noticed the edge was idling really low (note: 2 weeks after scheduled oil change, inspection and new battery)-all of a sudden heard this terrible clanking noise. It sounded like the whole car was falling apart. I pulled over in to a parking lot, shut the car off. Tried to crank it again and it wouldn't crank-finally did after several tries (still making this terrible sound). **no warning lights, no fluctuating in gages---nothing. We had the edge towed to our ford dealership and were told the water pump went bad and the engine was destroyed. Our oil was full of water/coolant--it looked like muddy water. What? How? No warning, no signs? After much research we are finding that the water pump is inside the engine, therefore if the water pump "goes" there are no external signs of leakage---it's kindly leaking in to your engine and destroying it. This literally happened in a matter of minutes. Yes, this is safety issue--it left me stranded and now I'm without a vehicle for another week or so while a new engine is being ordered an installed. I can't believe ford hasn't addressed this "design" issue with all the complaints I've read thus far. This deserves a recall and at the very least it deserves ford's attention to be redesigned. Research also shows this is not just a ford edge problem---it's other ford makes as well. This is now an $8000 "fix". Please have this looked in to on the consumer's behalf.

I was driving my car on the road and the engine stalled with no warning and the car cut off. After waiting about 10 minutes, the car started and I was able to move it to the side of the road. The check engine light didn't come on until after the car initially cut off. I tried to start the car again about 20 minutes later and it wouldn't start at all. Finally, after a couple of hours the car started, but the check engine light was still on.

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.
