Vehicle in motion on city road when vehicle all of a sudden makes loud/hard clank noise and immediately loses power - almost like it started towing a trailer! Loss of power, wrench light, tps light, airbag light all come on, speedometer stops working. Pulled over, loud/hard clank sound with every gear change p-2. Vehicle had displayed no issues prior to this. Dropped vehicle off at mechanic, when he looked at it next morning, vehicle is running perfect. I am greatly concerned about what appears to be a huge safety issue with this car. There are multiple complaints about the same issue to be found all over the internet with no fixes known. Ford needs to issue a recall and fix this asap before someone gets seriously hurt or is killed from the extreme loss of power the vehicle is suffering from when this happens.
2007 Ford Edge transmission complaints
Page 2 of 8: complaints 11 to 40 of 193, newest first, as owners wrote them.
While driving my vehicle lost all power and I immediately tried to pull out of the main path of traffic. I had it towed to a transmission shop to determine cause. It is the transmission. I replaced it with a used unit from a similar vehicle, of which I have encountered a similar issues. A replacement of this unit is also producing a problem. It is now at the ford dealer's garage and I am told it is a transmission. Problem. This vehicle has 75k miles and I have maintained it to the comply with ford's specs. But, three transmissions in a short period of time... Something is not right???
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.
Driving down the road I noticed my speed at 0 my odometer at 0...thought that was weird. Noticed wrench light, engine light,and airbag light. Came to a stop light and stopped. Upon takeoff was nearly rear ended because I was barely creeping.. Rpms stayed around 2k-3k..... Pulled it into a parking lot and switched gears....loud clangs and jerks as I'm shifting. Turned off car and restarted to have the same lights and same clanks as I'm shifting. I pull out of the parking lot since I'm a mile away from home and even though I pulled out with plenty of time I was almost tboned. Got it home and shut it down. I have around 255,000 miles on it. Oils changed. Maintenance upkeep and everything. This all happened on city streets, while in motion and sitting still. I seriously don't understand how ford is allowed to overlook this and not be held responsible for fixing these very well known issues that are a hazard to drivers....not just to myself but to others around me as well. There are way too many complaints on this issue for it not to be taken care of.
Took to local ford dealer (hondru ford) for shudder/jerking between 40/60 MPH , the issue could not be duplicated by the dealer but it continues to be a problem. From my online research there are other complaints regarding the same issues. The ford edge is serviced routinely ,oil change etc.
While traveling from work to home had a lost of power and started making noise upfront so pulled over and checked everything and it was fine fluids checked regularly and was told it could be a ptu problem and it has the jerking and sometimes you hear a chain noise and sounds like a slapping sound. Has something leaking up by tranny pretty sure its the ptu cause that's exactly where's it's located and have read lots of things online and everything. Their should really be recall for the ptu unit before someone majorly gets hurt cause of the loss of power all of sudden when traveling. Was traveling highway home.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 ford edge. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds without warning the cabin air vents fill up with an abnormal smoke odor. The contact pulled the vehicle to the shoulder of the roadway, opened the windows to eliminate smoke odor. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed the vehicle and determined that the transmission seal leaked and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure recurred several times. The dealer (berglund ford, 834 e main st, salem, va 24153 (540) 389-7291) was contacted about the failure and informed the contact that the vehicle was not subjected to any recalls. The manufacturer was made ware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 50,000.
Ford states that the ptu has a lifetime oil and does not need changed yet the unit is located so close to exhaust that the oil turns to sludge, there is no plug to check fluid conditions there is no way to flush and or refill. The only solution is to replace the ptu but how do you know how much damage to the transmission was caused? No one knows because its supposedly a lifetime oil and the dangerous heating conditions of the placement of the ptu heats the oil useless and the causes damage to the transmission. Depending on the amount of damage assessed upon removal, you may need to replace the entire transmission. I do not have any documentation attached because I have poured so much money into trying to isolate and diagnose I now cant afford to have this very expensive problem fixed. This has a poor design and should be replaced by the manufacture.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 ford edge. While driving 65 MPH, the vehicle completely shut off and the odometer error reading warning indicator illuminated. The contact was able to coast the vehicle to the side of the road and called a tow company. Once the tow truck arrived, the vehicle was able to be restarted; however, the vehicle stalled while in operation. The tow truck followed the contact until she was able to reach her destination. Mankato ford (1935 madison ave, mankato, mn 56001, 507‑387‑3454) was contacted and referred the contact to the manufacturer. The manufacturer was notified and stated that the VIN was not included in a recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 90,000.
Vehicle was in motion for awhile, car was running okay until I came to a stoplight and then all of a sudden my car goes limp. My vehicle makes loud/hard clank noise. Loss of power, wrench light came on. Pulled over, loud/hard clank sound with every gear change p-2. Vehicle had displayed no issues prior to this. I am able to pull the car over, turn it off and take they key out of the ignition. Then the wrench light is off when I restart the car. Stays in low gear for a long time when I start to accelerate, and until vehicle eventually accelerates faster, other cars almost running into the back of my car since my car is not accelerating at a normal pace. I am greatly concerned about what appears to be a huge safety issue with this car. There are multiple complaints about the same issue to be found all over the internet. Ford needs to issue a recall and fix this asap before someone gets seriously hurt or is killed from the extreme loss of power the vehicle is suffering from when this occurs!
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.
Lost power while driving at 65 MPH. Speedometer stopped working, warning lights -picture of wrench light, tire pressure came on. Said data ------ failure. It was terrifying. Made it to a parking lot. Turned off care & let it sit a few minutes. Restarted and it was back to normal. My research on line says it's the powertrain module. Lots of complaints for the same issue with ford 2007 edge - should have been a recall. I have 96,000 miles on it and it's well maintained.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 ford edge. While driving 50 MPH, the vehicle lost power. The vehicle was restarted and began bucking. In addition, the check engine indicator was illuminated. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic who stated that the number three coil pack was damaged and the powertrain control module needed to be repaired. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and referred the contact to the federal safety agency. The failure mileage was 84,500.
Stopping vehicle then taking off vehicle will not move engine just revs then a very hard shift and it moves had sensor in transmission replaced 3 times due to same problem now when cold vehicle up shifts very hard once it warmed up shifts fine
We have a 2007 ford edge my wife was driving on the freeway, she was approaching her exit when the vehicle shut off completely. Thank god she could pull over and after several attempts to start the car again, she succeeded. This happened about 6 months ago. About 3 or 4 months later, she was pulling into a parking lot of a store when the vehicle shut off again without a warning. She got stuck in the middle of the lane blocking all traffic. A few minutes later it started again seemingly without any problem. Until two weeks ago, she was driving down the street and the car shut off for the third time. And for the last week, the car has problems starting. It cranks for a few seconds like it has no fuel then starts. Today's date 9/3/2018
Transmission shudders between 5th and 6th gear. Only one previous owner. Owned vehicle less than one year. Became increasingly worrisome very fast.
While stopped when going to accelerate the transmission feels like it's not working the vehicle wraps the speedometer the mile which doesn't work speed doesn't work airbag lights are on wrench light is on tire light is on RPM stay at 2k the vehicle will barely move.
Takata recall, torque converter sputtering between 40-60
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.
Driving car on city streets and all of sudden the wrench light, low tire light and airbag light came on then the became sluggish as if it was going to cut off. The car was hard to pull to the side of the road. The it makes a hard thug/grinding noise when putting in gear. Ford states it needs a oss (output speed sensor).
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.
Takata recall. It's been almost 2 years that we have been trying to get the airbag parts and no replacement. This is our only vehicle and it is a great inconvenience. We need a loaner car until the parts are available.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 ford edge. The contact stated that the vehicle experienced severe vibration and hesitation. The contact also noticed that coils were melted in the engine compartment. The vehicle was taken to pittsville ford (34690 old ocean city road, pittsville, md) where it was diagnosed that the PCM was defective and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was approximately 150,000.
My wife was driving with our two children on our road (a busy one) and the engine just stopped. She had to pull over with cars zooming by her and shut off the car and turned it back on. Engine light was flashing, go to find out the coils and PCM just went out. Looked online and a lot of people have the same problem.
No one has parts to fix the recall for the airbag. I've been waiting for more than a year to have the problem fixed. My transmission shudders at 40 miles per hour and 75 miles per hour. The problem started 10 months ago and seems to be worse. I've looked online and this seems to be the major complaint with these vehicles. There should be a recall on this issue to fix the problem.
You leaking, had to have replaced at my expense. Was discovered during oil change. Have seen numerous reports of this issue on ford forums. Should this be a recall since affecting so many vehicles.
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.
Dash lights all day on, speed odometer quit and car wouldn't accelerate. Going down the highway at 65 miles an hour. Gears grinding when trying the put in drive. Powertrain wrench light will never t go off. All this and still owe $6000 on car at 90000 miles.
When driving on a highway in heavy rain this occurs (3 times now) odometer display changes to: odo data error message the odometer shows only dashed lines for milage the speedometer goes to zero the seat belt light goes on a wrench light appears after a few miles: the tire pressure signal sounds and the display changes to tire pressure monitor failure after stopping: if attempt to go forward, high revs slow speed turn off engine: wait 2 minutes: restart engine display corrects itself high revs with low speed a loud clang and the car takes off quickly, due to high revs
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 ford edge. While the vehicle was stationary, the stock transfer case on the vehicle wore out. Due to the transfer case wearing out, which sent power from the transmission to the four wheels, the vehicle made a loud grinding noise when driven at various speeds. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 70,000.
