Ford edge loud clunk when put into gear an when in gear you have to put it to the floor to get the car to move an really high RPM. Dash lights will come on flash an act all crazy. Faster to walk cuz the car won't go. Will do it at a stop or just random going down the road. Have to get off the road quick or it will stop I the middle of the road.

The wrench light and airbag lights were on. My speedometer wasn't working. Transmission was clunking. The powertrain (wrench) & service engine signals come on after experiencing loss of speed such as after a traffic light stop. We have to push down far on the gas pedal just to move and this is followed by rough shifting (makes a sudden jerk and loud thud sound). Everything goes back to normal for awhile when the vehicle is turned off; its like the car resets itself.

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 ford edge. While driving various speeds, the vehicle hard shifted. The contact stated that the vehicle lunged forward while stationary and suffered a loss of power or engine stalling on more than one occasion. The dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. An independent mechanic diagnosed that the power control module and the ignition coils failed and caused a cylinder misfire. In addition, the ignition coils melted. The failure mileage was approximately 135,000.

When driving the car gear will slip into neutral and the vehicle will not accelerate, even when pressing on the gas. There is a "clunk" when moving the transmission from park into drive and the vehicle will not move.

The first time it happened a month ago, it was a similar issue that resolved itself within about 10 minutes. But the second time it happened 7 days ago, it lasted longer and unfortunately I had my 14 month old in the car. I was puling out of a parking space one late afternoon and proceeded to drive forward and noticed that it was reving very loudly even though it was barely moving. Whenever I would come to a light and stop or slow down to turn and then try to increase my speed I noticed that it would be reving so loudly and barely moving at first, but then after about 10 seconds it would start to move a little faster - but not as fast as it usually moves when I put the same amount of pressure on the gas pedal. I also noticed along the way that my spedometeer was not moving. It was stuck on 0mph the whole time. Then about 5 minutes into this horror, the wrench light came on and althoughh I had my seatbelt on and I had no front passenger, the setbelt light came on too. I managed to pull the car over near my home and moved into a space in front of a neighbor's house. When I went to back up and correct my parking the car made such a loud clunk sound. I then turned off the car and right then a message flashed on the dash board about 'check tire pressure' or something like that. But my tires were perfectly and properly inflated. The first incident shook me a little but it was only me in the car and I thought that maybe, (although unlikely), I made a mistake and was using the wrong gear to manuver. But after this second incident (especially with my baby in the car) I have not touched the car since. I bought it as a family vehicle, and if it could lead to me or my family being killed on the road, there is no point. I thank god that I avoid highways because I could not have imagined what would have happened if I was on a highway when this happened.

Generally, shortly after starting the vehicle sometimes I would come to a stop, and when I attempted to go the engine would rev but the car would not move. It was like it was in neutral, and there is an orange wrench that lights up on my dashboard. When placing the car back into park there would be a hard shift on the engine. After turning the car off for a few seconds and restarting, it would work like normal. It does it very sporadically, sometimes once every couple months sometimes a couple times a week. It seems very random. Today it did it to me while I was driving down the road at 40mph. It was the first time it had done this while I was driving. When it happened there was a sputter from the engine, like a hard shift, and then I noticed the orange wrench light came on and it felt like it was in neutral. I have taken it to get checked but the mechanics cannot duplicate the problem and there are no error codes that come up. My research online says that it seems to be a common problem with the power transfer units seals leaking, but I would think that problem would cause the car to not work when restarted. Not to mention the other symptoms of a leak, including smell, are not present. The other solution commonly mentioned is replacing sensors, but then a lot of those reviews say they end up replacing so many sensors and then it still happens.

2007 edge sel, on the instrument panel an "odo data error" appeared. The "wrench and airbag" lights were lit up as well. Hard clunk shifting into drive, car had no power ran RPM higher started to slowly roll. Turned off car, unconnected battery cable, connected back and started up instrument panel read out was now correct and put into drive and it did a few hard shifts as we drove out, but ran fine all the way home. I see many others stating this same thing! I will take this in again as I had already taken for hard shifts, but they found nothing. This time looks like oss and tss from all the reading I have done on this issue.

While traveling at a speed of 60 MPH down the highway, I lost all power to my edge. The speedometer went to 0, mileage blanked out, and I had the air bag, wrench & low tire pressure lights came on. When you would go from park to reverse or from park to drive, there would be a big clunking noise and no acceleration. When this first happened you could turn the car off and it would reset after a few minutes. Now you have to unhooked the battery cables and replace them, but this only lasts for a while. It is not a fix. This is still happening to this day. No one we have contacted can tell us the problem. Please help if you can.
