Tail light sockets melt down.
2007 Ford Edge lights complaints
Page 2 of 3: complaints 11 to 40 of 41, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I was pulled over for having a burnt out tail light. (no ticket issued) when I got to work I changed the bulb and discovered that the bulb was not burnt out but had melted the socket on the right side of the car. Upon further investigation I realized that both tail lights had the same problem and the bulbs had also been melting the interior red part of the tail light. There is now an area of the lights on both sides of the car that have white light shining through the lens instead of red. The design of the light has the bulb too close to the lens and there isn't enough room to dissipate heat from the bulb causing the lens to melt and the socket to melt. I have been on the ford edge forum and there seem to be an alarming number of complaints about the same thing. This is an obvious safety defect that should be addressed by ford.
Dome lights stays on all the time draining my battery.
Drove to panama city, fl. For vacation and parked in apt. Garage. Went to my brothers apt. And within an hour, the parking attendant knocked on the door and said that our car had the fog lamps on. Tried to turn them off and couldn't. Had to remove the fuse. Had it checked out and nothing could be found to cause this problem. Fuse is still removed and cannot use the fog lights. Since this incident, the turn signals flash extremely fast.please let me know what can be done to correct this problem.thanks.
Burnt rear tailight sockets.
Upon replacing a burned out tail lite I noticed the socket which holds the bulb was melted. This has happened on both sides of tail lites.
Tail light plugs on both sides were burned/ melted needs replaced.
Tail light blinkers are melting into the sockets. I have to replace the bulbs once a year because they blow, I was also told by a mechanic that the reason my speaker blew on the right side of the car was do to extra electrical power.
The interior lights will not turn off. The door ajar indicator remains on even though the doors have been firmly closed causing the interior lights to remain on. At first I was able to slam the door shut until it would trigger the lights to turn off. Then, I had to use wd-40 and after 3 days of doing this every time I entered or exited the vehicle, the interior lights would remain on. Most recently, my car battery died because of the interior lights never turning off. I slammed my door shut for over an hour trying to get the lights to turn off and nothing worked. My battery has died 3 times now due to the interior lights not shutting off even though all the doors were firmly shut. Once was at work, I didn't have the time to keep slamming my door for it to turn off. Finally I took it to a ford dealership who told me it would cost approx. $400 to fix the electrical problem and the ford edges are known to have this defect. This is a huge problem and after researching this problem online it appears to happen quite frequently with this vehicle. This should be recalled and not at the owner's expense!
Discovered that rear tail light housing has become so hot that it has melted the bulbs in the socket. The sockets themselves are black in appearance, and there have been no warnings or error codes to indicate there is a problem.
Taillight sockets and bulbs scorched and burnt together. Signs of high heat.
The driver's side tail light has burned out and melted the bulb and the socket. This has occurred 4 times in the 4 months we have owned the car.
Passenger side tail light bulb blackened and socket partially melted. Replaced with 4157ll bulb as recommended but still won't work. I think maybe bulb has gotten too hot and now socket defective.
Rear brake/tail light socket on both the left and right rear of vehicle have overheated and melted the plastic around lamp. Lamp was burnt out. Not sure what caused the high heat problem. No fuse was blown, new bulb worked in socket. This problem has happened twice in the last two months.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 ford edge. The contact stated that while driving approximately 5 MPH and depressing the brake pedal, the brakes would not respond. The failure recurred intermittently. Additionally, the horn would not sound when activated and the headlights would not illuminate intermittently. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing however, the technician was unable to diagnose the brake failure. The instrument panel was replaced however, the failure continued. The vehicle was not repaired. The VIN was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 40,000.
Tail lights repeatedly burn out. Light socket is blackened. Appears the bulb is running too hot. This occurs on both sides of the vehicle.
Driver side rear blinker has been replaced every 4-6 months. Socket is completely melted. Bulbs are melted. Black is all around socket. This is unacceptable and I will not pay the dealership an arm and leg just to keep me safe (car fire). One person said they were charged 98 dollars. That's absurd. There should be a recall and this should be replaced with no expense to the customer.
Tail lights melting, please search ford edge forum so you can see that I am not the only one. Also melting blinker bulbs.
The rear turn signal bulbs on my 2007 ford edge are burning out on a regular basis of approx every 4-5 month. The bulbs and assembly both show signs of blackening and melting. The issue only seems to be with the rear turn signals. I haven't had to replace any other exterior lights since I purchased the car in apr 2011.
I discovered both of my rear brake light bulbs melted in their sockets.

Rear tail light bulbs require frequent replacing. Bulbs and sockets are discolored and show minor menting of plastic socket material. The correct 4157k bulbs are being used as per the owner's manual. This vehicle was purchased by us new.
As per other complaints, driver's side brake light burns out and light socket burned and partially melted.
We own a 2007 edge sel and the driver's side brake light constantly burns out. The bulb has been replaced countless times and the socket is melted. I just wanted to share this with everyone. A clicking noise has also developed on the driver's side front wheel recently, however we haven't seen anything related to other complaints about this. The vehicle currently has very low miles (24,000) and this seems odd. I hope this information helps others.
Drivers side rear brake/signal light bulb burnt out. Socket bulb goes into was blackened & semi-melted. Next month passenger side same thing. Next month bearings in front passenger wheel went.
One of the rear blinkers went bad twice since I had the car and when I went to replace it the socket that the bulb goes into was black and melted. The first time the blinker went out the car was under warranty so the dealer replaced the bulb. I feel that this issue need to be addressed soon because other than being annoying having to replace the bulb it seems like a fire hazard.
2007 ford edge, both rear turn signal lights shorted out within a few weeks of each other. In both cases, the base of bulb that plugs into socket has a burned black appearance leading me to believe this could be a fire safety hazard in this model. I have replaced both bulbs and my husband is reporting to our local dealer.
The dash lights are too dim in low light situations. Cannot see the speed at those times.

She has been maliciously negligent this is wrong.
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 ford edge. When the vehicle was purchased, the front passenger seat failed. The vehicle was at the dealer for three weeks to repair the seat. The bolts in the seat were visible and injured one of the passengers. The dealer replaced the screws and covered them with a rubber seal; however, they continue to fall off and expose the screws. At 150 miles, the lining in the moonroof fell off of the vehicle and was replaced by the dealer. Six months later, while driving approximately 5 MPH, the contact heard a loud grinding sound when he depressed the brake pedal. The dealer diagnosed the failure and stated that the brakes were corroded. The brakes were replaced and the rotors were cleaned. The front and rear windows do not grip or seal properly when they are rolled up or down. The dealer diagnosed the window failure on four occasions and eventually stated that they had to change the paper on the rollers. The two rear exterior lights continue to fill up with water. The dealer diagnosed the failure on three occasions and replaced the tail lights; however, the failure continued. There seems to be a design failure. On several occasions, the gear shift failed to engage in park, drive, and reverse. A passenger had to stop traffic since the gear shift was locked in reverse. The failure recurred on february 20, 2008; however, the dealer stated that the earliest they could schedule an appointment would be on march 1, 2008. The failure occurs intermittently and has been in the repair shop every other week since it was purchased. The contact is the original owner. The dealer has offered no assistance in replacing the vehicle. The contact was advised to only have the vehicle serviced by a dealer that is one or more hours away from her residence. The failure mileage was 150 and current mileage was 8,000. Updated 3/25/08
