Rear turn signal blubs continue to blow out over and over. Last time I went to replace the bulb had fused to housing. I'm afraid it is going to catch fire. Also tired of buying bulbs every few months to replace burned out ones.

Driving down the road and all of a sudden my brake pedal got real spongy and then sounded like air blowing through lines. Barely got home with minimal brake usage. I was driving on lee road luckily not too far from my home. Also fog lights don't work. Not sure if it's a switch related problem or something else. It also feels like the transmission is acting up like the car doesn't want to go especially in reverse without really getting on the pedal. And it rolls backwards on hills like it's a manual transmission

Driver side tail light bulb keeps going out. The socket appears to be melted/charred. I have had the bulb replaced three times in less than a year. Every time the bulb goes out, my brake light is affected and I get pulled over and issued a fix-it ticket by the police.

My blinker light started blinking really fast and I knew that that indictated that I had a bulb out. I saw that it was the rear left and purchased a new bulb for it. I searched online for how to change the bulb properly and found several videos for how to do it but they all showed that the bulb socket had overheated and was burnt. Sure enough, when I opened up mine to change the bulb, the socket that holds the bulb is burnt and the the bulb was partially melted into the socket. I checked other side and it is the same thing. The socket is burnt and charred and the bulb is stuck in it. This is obviously an overheating issue and I'm concerned for the safety of the vehicle.

The rear tail light socket on the passenger side is extremely charred. The light bulb on that side has failed 5 times over 7 years, clearly from overheating, causing loss of brake light and turn light. The other side has never failed but shows early signs of overheating.

I was driving and noticed my right blinker flashing quickly so I got a new rear right turn signal bulb. When replacing the bulb I noticed that the bulb was melted into the socket. I checked the other side and it was charred and melted even worse then the bulb that wasn't working. This is very scary and a safety hazard as it could start a fire and my child is in the back seat!

Dome lights by rear view mirror do not go off. Since this is a problem with many ford vehicles; I feel it should be a recall. I got a notice months ago about a recall about the takata air bags on my ford edge, also. Still awaiting the repair. The recall said to wait for them to call.

When operating the turn signals in either direction the rear light would not work intermittently at first, and then permanently. Upon pulling the rear bulb housing, I noticed the turn signal light socket was burnt in appearance. Opon trying to remove the bulbs, one of the retaining tabs on one side broke off. Inside the sockets (both sides) were full of whitish corrosion. The main issue here is twofold: if you look online on the ford edge forum, you will see many, many other people have had the exact same issue. Secondly, this presents a fire and driving hazard. Keep in mind my wife's car does not even have 70,000 miles on it yet and is garage kept. She does not ride the brakes and turn signals are used as often as needed...hazards hardly ever used. I'll have to pay for 2 new sockets and bulbs with no guarantee it won't happen again.
