2007 Ford Edge transmission complaints
Page 4 of 8: complaints 71 to 100 of 193, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Since I purchased vehicle, will be driving and all of a sudden no power, car does not die out. It is still running, but you cannot go anywhere, wrench light comes on. It's done it at random, deal never finds issue. It is now happening every day and will throw a throttle body code, same issue as with other fords. Complaints are all over the internet, dealership has told me they've seen it with almost all ford edges. It is the throttle body needing to be recalled. There is a ford tsb on other models of ford with the same exact issue. This can cause a fatal accident as the car just stops accelerating so it slows down quickly. The only resolution is to shut it off and restart it. This also clears the code so that's why it's hard to troubleshoot at the dealer. Ford needs to step up and do something before someone is killed. I just don't drive on the highway any longer because I'm afraid of being rear ended at high speeds because of negligence on ford's part.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 ford edge. While driving at various speeds, the tire pressure warning light illuminated and the vehicle decreased in speed. The contact noticed an abnormal noise from the transmission when switching gears. The contact also stated that the brakes were inoperable when the brake pedal was being depressed. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure occurred intermittently. The manufacturer was not aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 111,000.
Driving at 55mph in heavy traffice vehicle all of a sudden lost power and pressing the gas pedal did nothing. Car jerked and shuddered and was like it was in neutral. Almost caused a serious collision. Turned car off and t he back on and was bale to go as long as I stayed under 30mph. Vehicle would sporadically "rev" up when I pressed the gas but would not have extra power. Had transmission fluid checked, level was perfect. Left the service shop and was stopped at a red light and went to accelerate and it acted as if it were in neutral again, in the middle of a busy road. Had to have sheriff's department redirect traffic due to my car blocking 2 lanes. Had to be towed away.
2007 ford edge looses power. Speedometer goes to 0. Exclamation mark, air bag and tool light comes on. Motor revs up to high RPM. I understand this is a sensor issue with this particular vehicle. And it is a very common happening with this vehicle. With the vehicle shutting down without any indication that it is about to happen. This happens at highway speeds as well as in town speeds. I think ford should investigate this issue and issue a recall. Thank you
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.

When the car is stopped on an incline, if you let off the brakes the car will roll backwards and when you give it gas the transmission jerks real loud into gear.
A few weeks ago, I noticed there was a noise coming from somewhere that sounded like a wheel bearing, I took it to a few places to have it checked out. They came up with different things, finally I got to the right place and they figured out that it was the ptu. They said the seal had leaked all the oil out and destroyed the bearings. You don't know the oil is leaking out as it goes into the exhaust and evaporates. They were able to find me a used one that they went through and found it to be good. Cost was $1,800 to replace. As I understand, ford has covered up this problem for many years. I have seen many similar problems in the complaint section for edges and nothing has been done. I think ford should be made to re-imburst all complaints with this problem. I am on a fixed income an this unexpected expense kept us from our vacation to visit our family in pennsylvania and I am very upset.
The vehicles transmission slips then bangs into gear when accelerating after a rolling stop, accelerating from low speeds up hill, or at any speed after coasting down a hill and having to rev up to go back up a hill. Car feels like a rear end collision occurred.
Highway speed the car suddenly slowed down. Speedometer dropped to zero, information panel went blank, powertrain malfunction/reduced power light came on, airbag front light came on. Pulled car to shoulder as soon as possible and shut key off. Restarted car and everything appeared normal except car had very little power to move until about 10 MPH was reached when a hard transmission shift put car into gear and all became fully operational. This happened three times in a one week period of time, always at highway speeds. Subsequent research by independent mechanic indicated this a common problem requiring replacement of two speed sensors in transmission at cost of $629.00.
Drives fine and that at times acts as if it is stuck in gear or neutral. I bought the car as a certified pre-owned and within one year had total transmission failure. Warranty company replaced, and now the transmission is acting as if it is stuck in gear inconsistently. Sometimes it drive perfect and then when I am drive around town it acts as if it is stuck in gear.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 ford edge. The contact received notification of the federal safety agency campaign number: 14v682000 (fuel system, gasoline) and stated that the parts were not available. The dealer did not provide a specific date for when the parts would become available. In addition, the contact noticed the presence of a leak under the vehicle and indicated that it was near the transfer case and the axle. The vehicle was not inspected or diagnosed. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 77,000.
I filed the original complaint (10680995) on february 3rd, but I wanted to edit or update it, but couldn't find the way, so I am taking the liberty to post a new one. It has been 2 and a half months since the incident and as a disgrace it has not been possible for the ford dealer in central america to get the computer module part. Can you imagine this amount of time without your vehicle, specially if it is your working tool? The following was my statement in the first report: "I have a 2007 ford edge with very low mileage to date. This is usually my family car, driven by my wife. We live in guatemala and drove to a house on the beach, that is about 100 miles away. On january first when we were returning I started the car and noticed a shake and sputter, and I thought that it was probably a defective spark plug. I managed to drive out of where we were and as soon as we got to the main highway I had to stop and call for a tow. The shaking and sputtering were frightening. The shop I took it to says that at least 3 ignition coils need to be replaced and are not sure if the PCM also has to be replaced. Unfortunately, since there are parts stock problem here, I had to wait almost a month to get the parts and now that I have them (the coils) I still have to wait to see what the real problem is. I have contacted the dealer in the region to see what can be done. I had to report this as it is not a unique problem tobuyers in the us, also abroad". So far, I do not know when the part will be available. Last friday it was still in backorder in the ford plant, or so they say. I dont know either how much is going to cost, but at this rate I just want to get rid of that piece of junk. I have provided a florida contact as there is no access to other countries.
I notice oil leaking I put on jack stands to examine so I did some research and I have what's called the ptu which is part of the transfer case for the awd it appears there is an inner seal and outer seal. It looks like it's the outer seal leaking from the ptu the side that the cv axle is on connected to passenger tire. I called ford and they want 1200-1500 dollars to fix a seal that's not recalled. It's known to be happening to all ford edges I have no warranty on the vehicle which makes it harder to afford to pay for the repair.
The ptu is overheating and spilling out the breather tube.
The transmission feels like it is in neutral. It jerks like someone has ran into your vehicle with their vehicle. Several warning lights come on. Speedometer goes to zero. If you come to a stop, you may not get going again. Had this checked out and replaced a sensor costing me $425.00 and less than 2 weeks later, problem occurs again. Had this checked out and now they are hollering another sensor has went bad and this one is going to cost $600.00. Did not have this one fixed!! Also had to have vehicle towed home one time costing even more money....
About 3 weeks ago my 2007 ford edge began to leak a fluid which I thought may have been transmission fluid. Once I noticed the leak I stop driving the vehicle. I took it into the local ford dealer (where I purchased the vehicle) and I was told I needed to have the transfer case replaced. This is very expensive repair so I decided to see if this issue had occurred in other 2007 ford edges. The problem seems to be very prevalent but ford has decided to levy this expense to the customer rather than admit there is a real issue with this vehicle's drivetrain. I would like to challenge ford to do what mazda has done with the "sister" vehicle and cover the cost of this repair.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 ford edge. While driving at 25 MPH, the vehicle failed to accelerate and jerked when the accelerator pedal was depressed. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. In addition, the contact smelled a burning odor and noticed fluid leaking underneath the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic. The mechanic diagnosed that the transfer case seal needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 80,000. The VIN was unavailable.
Ptu unit keeps leaking. Had unit replaced in 2012 and now just had to have it done again in 2015.

On or around 11/29/2014 I was driving my family in our 2007 ford edge on the freeway, traveling approx. 70 MPH, when the system display read something referring to o/d transmission message of some sort. I lost drive train power and coasted to an exit ramp while the vehicle struggle to maintain drive. A short time later I was able to park in a parking lot, and when I shifted the lever into park it passed by reverse and shifted violently. I tried to shift to drive with the same result. I contacted avis ford where we purchased the vehicle, told them what happened, and they informed me that their service center was backed up on transmission repairs for a recall till february 2015! I found atransmission shop who, ran a diagnostic check, and drove my vehicle with me in it, and said there wasn't anything he could see. I called my salesman, he tried to see what he could do. He later informed me if I could somehow get the vehicle home, to unhook the battery, wait for an hour, and hook it back up that this would reset the PCM module, and maybe correct the issue. It appeared to remedy the symptom, until today when my wife arrived at her office, and as she was pulling in to park the same message appeared, with the same symptoms. Unfortunately this is our only vehicle, and I'll have to wait and see what to do next. I have contacted my dealer. I also calle ford motor co.'s customer service today to see if there were any recalls for these symptoms, and the representative stated that there were none for that. But did give me a recall on gas tank straps, and a case #[xxx]. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).'
I have a 2007 ford edge. My wife was drive and with no warning or notification the car started shaking, sputtering, and lost all power. The shop I took it to says the PCM and 3 ignition coils need to be replaced. I have found online hundreds of people with the same problem on the same car. I contacted ford about a recall and was told it is my problem. I have always been a ford man, I have owned 7 but now will never buy one a again.
The 2007 ford edge awd 93,000 miles developed a slight humming in the front end, it actually sounded like a cupped tire or a wheel bearing. We immediately called our mechanic and had it inspected. Upon inspection he informed us that the ptu was ruined, we have had this vehicle from new and serviced it as required and only drive it on the highway approx 45 miles per day. It turns out that the ptu (transfer case) overall has a issue with the seals that hold the fluid (outer seal=gear oil, inner seal= tranny fluid) inside the unit, the mechanic said that he's done so many of the seal replacements that at one point that was all he was doing in a day at the dealership. The real issue is that when the seal goes you can't tell because it leaks directly onto the exhaust and burns off as your driving. If we were informed of the leaky seal we could have had the seals replaced for about $200, but unfortunately we found out the hard (expensive) way $2000. Im a person that takes car maintenance very seriously, we have a construction company and have had about 14 different ford models over the years, and its becoming more apparent any ford built after 2004 is filled with issues (to me factory defects) that they aren't taking responsibility for. I wish I was notified of the issue with the seal as I would have about $ 1800 dollars more in my bank account.
I have had an ongoing problem with the wrench looking light coming on then the vehicle loses power. When I push the gas you have to push the gas pedal all the way down to get it to creep to go to the side of the road. I have to pull over and shut the vehicle off when it restarts then the vehicle will go. This last time the vehicle got me stranded on the side of the road for 2.5 hours until the tow truck got there and towed it to the dealership. The dealer started it two days late and everything was fine. I had it to the shop previously to try and get this diagnosed and they could not find the problem. I have read hundreds of complaints involving the same thing. Ford should look at what is causing this problem and open a claim to take care of these issues.
At a stop, the car would not accelerate,loud clunking sound, airbag light turned on. Would not move, had to completely turn off car for a few seconds, only moved a few feet before it did again. Next day same problem.
Car sat un-driven in garage for 9 days. When car was taken out and driven, the car would not move forward. Speed shown car going 55 miles and hour but it was not moving. Put car in reverse and it would move. Put car in drive and low gears and car would move forward very slowly. Car had to be towed to the dealership. Dealership stated only fix was to replace the transmission. Meaning a lot of money had to be spent to fix the car. This is a very clean car and taken in for regular turn-ups, with low miles for the age of the car. There was no indication of anything being wrong with the transmission prior to this incident. According to reports, ford has had many issues with the transmissions. Ford needs to take the stand and take care of this problem, before there area any fatalities.
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.
To whom it may concern, I have noticed numerous 2007 ford edge owners with the same issue I had recently, leaking transfer case ptu unit. I also noticed this same issue is happening with lincoln's and mazda's of same model type. I believe mazda has offered owners some sort of compensation/recall/extended warranty for this manufactured defect. My question is what is ford going to do about this very expensive repair that owners have to pay for that is a manufacturer defect? I did have it replaced for a pretty penny and now I hear a clanking noise when I turn that was not there before the repair. Sincerely, very concerned and frustrated loyal customer
