Page 7 of 8: complaints 161 to 190 of 193, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The vehicle started performing badly and having trouble shifting, which affected acceleration and deceration in traffic. Drove vehicle directly to ford dealer for service. They stated the vehicle needed to have the ptu seal replaced. I was originally told this item was backordered 2 weeks, but they can no longer give me an estimated date. They stated it could be 2 days, 2 weeks, or 2 months.

There are three main issues with my 2007 ford edge. First the brakes make noises and sometimes work and sometimes don't. The tires kept going flat. I have replaced all 4 four tires and one front and one back tire twice now. The transmission slips frequently.
Ok, enough is enough. I have a 2007 ford edge and it is having hard engagement issues when shifting gears. Also, a couple of times I have been ready to pull out into traffic and it's as if my car is sitting in neutral. I have to put the car in park, turn it off, start and put back into drive for it to start going again. Very unsafe and worries me driving my kids around in the car with these problems. I have taken my car to the dealership on a couple of occasions with these problems and was told that the diagnostic test was not "throwing a code" so basically there is not a fix. They do however acknowledge that there are a lot of these complaints and a definite issue but they could do nothing unless a recall was done. It's getting worse and the other day I took somewhere else and was told ford has an update now to help some of the issues PCM update to the computer. Guess what...it didn't help mine and they said I for sure now have some transmission problems due to the hard shifting problems I have been experiencing. Well, no kidding! Ok, when you have your dealerships telling you they know there is a problem but they can't do anything about it, that's just crazy. We need for there to be some awareness and action to these problems.
Own a 2007 edge se , purchased new on august 2008. Last year I took the car to dealer for transmission issue and they recommend to replace the transmission fluid as a regular maintenance, but just recently noticed that the 4th gear have strong engage issue."sheehy ford" dealership in springfield va is not doing anything to fix this problem. Now my warranty expired and the dealer wants to charge me $150-200 to diagnostic the problem.
I have a 2007 ford edge. I have had brake problems ever since I bought it. By brake problems, I mean they sometimes grind and sometimes feel like I can't stop as well as I should be able to. I had them checked several times and was told they were fine. I finally had them replaced but they still grind at times. I've learned to deal with this problem. I've also experienced a loud roaring noise. I'm not sure what this is but I've also learned to deal with it as well. Everytime someone rides with me they ask what the noise is and tell me it sounds like my car has not shifted into the right gear. The major problem I have dealt with is the jerking transmission. It started this about a year after buying it. It started doing it a few times here and there until it got to where it did it all the time. I had mentioned it when I took my car to get the oil changed but they always told me they didn't find anything wrong. I finally told them they had to do something. They kept it for a few days and finally called and said the valve body needed to be replaced. Luckily it was still under warranty. They replaced it and it was fine up until several months ago. It started the jerking all over again. It started out slow but now does it all the time. I can't afford to have it fixed again as it's not under warranty any longer. It's still only 4 years old and should not be having all of these problems. I am really surprised there have been no recalls as I've read of other people having the same problems. I am very upset as I still owe on this vehicle but really wish I could get rid of it. I have never had so many problems with a vehicle....even a car I bought that was four years old.....it was a toyota....guess I should have never went to a ford!
2007 ford edge will roll backward when on the slightest incline while vehicle is in drive. The vehicle will not stop rolling until the brake is depressed or it settles on flat ground. It also does this in reverse and you are pointed downhill. I recently was parked in a downhill position, released the park brake, placed the vehicle in reverse and had to slam on the brakes to stop the edge from slamming into a car in front of me. The edge started to quickly go downhill and I had to accelerate quickly to go in reverse and miss the other vehicle. This problems seems to getting worse as the mileage builds. I currently have 72,000 miles on the edge. I took this vehicle to greenwood ford in bowling green, ky and was told that this was normal and that there was nothing they could do. Their service manager took me for a drive in a 2010 edge and it did the same thing. I called ford customer relations and was told that they had never heard this complaint before. This is a severe safety issue and needs to be corrected.
I purchased a 2007 ford edge one month ago. The car has been in the shop 3 out of 4 weekends.the car was in drive and was stopped at a stop sign after trying to take off the car wouldn't move. I brought the car to the ford dealership in maitland and was told that nothing was wrong with the car. The same thing happened 1 week later and I am now being told that it is an engine sensor that is the problem. Looks like ford in maitland likes to make things up.
The speedometer went to zero and all the mileage information went blank. The front airbag light, service wrench and shortly there after the tire pressure monitor light came on. I exited the freeway and after stopping for the traffic light the vehicle would not accelerate, but moved slowly apparently stuck in the high gears. The vehicle would not shift up or down. The next stop light the same problem. I parked in a parking lot and recycled the ignition and the mileage information returned. However when I put the vehicle into reverse the transmission began to clunk violently! I then switched to drive and again it clunked violently! I recycled the ignition again and put it into reverse again clunking violently. I again recycled the ignition and put into reverse the vehicle trans clunked moving backwards. I then pulled forward shifting to drive again with a clunk the vehicle moved forward as if still in higher gears. I drove across the parking lot to about 30 MPH and braked to a stop it down shifted hard. After that the trans worked to get us home, however the cruise control would not light up on the dash or would not function period. I have taken it to hemborg ford in norco, ca to check with 59,175 miles on the vehicle. Just two weeks earlier the right rear axle bearing was wining and ford replaced the bearing
Transmission violently shifts. Sometimes, it does not shift into first or second gear.
My 2007 ford edge transmission failed and needed to be completely replaced at under 63,000 miles. The transmission that north county ford in vista california installed to replace the original transmission, also failed the same day they delivered the vehicle to my home. Now I am in the process of having a 3rd transmission installed at a different ford dealer in san diego. Thus far, I have received excellent customer service at mossy ford.
I have a 2007 ford edge that will some times bang, (very hard!) when shifting from first to second gear all on its own. I have herd of others with the same problems. All were told, "we couldn't find a problem. Is ford trying to dodge a bullet? Nothing was done.
I have a 2007 ford edge awd. Around 15,000 miles, it began to have a "burned rubber" smell waft into the passenger compartment whenever I came to a stop after driving for awhile. Sometimes I could see smoke sift up through the hood near the windshield. The dealer found the ptu valve (power transfer unit) to be leaking, and I think they changed it. It worked for awhile, but within 4 months, it began to smell again. It was not too bad because it was spring and summer and the problem is only really bad during the winter when the heater is on. It's now october 2009, and I'm using the heater again. The smell was bad, so I took it to the dealer again. They said grease was packed into the valve, and the grease had overflowed. They did not replace the ptu valve. They only steam cleaned my car. It still smells, although not as bad. I have 35,000 miles on the car and I've owned it for 1.5 years brand new. The internet has revealed that many fordedge owners are experiencing the same thing, but ford can't seem to fix it. It is only on awd models because the fluid that is leaking involves the transfer of power to the back tires. There is a website dedicated solely to this problem: stinkinedge.com please help us convince ford this is a defect involving a noxious smell and potentially dangerous chemical exposure. It is also annoying and uncomfortable. There seems to be no fix.
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 ford edge. The contact stated that when driving up an incline the transmission began making a ticking sound. Transmission failure while driving increased the risk of a crash. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and a technician concluded that the ptu seal was leaking, which can cause transmission failure. The current mileage was 49,533 and the failure mileage was 48,000.
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 ford edge. The contact stated that there was a leak in the vehicle and all of the transmission fluid leaked out. He took the vehicle to the dealer and they replaced the oil seal on the transmission. A few days later, he smelled transmission fluid burning. The contact took the vehicle back to the dealer and they replaced the seal once again; however, the burning odor is still present. He believes that this is a health hazard and that a recall should be issued. The failure mileage was 34,000 and current mileage was 47,000.
Ptu seals leaking a total of seven different times.
Ptu seal has been replaced 7 times, axle shaft once, ptu assembly 3 times they think they got it fixed this time, has not leaked in 100 miles.
When I am on an incline and I take my foot off of the gas my car will roll backwards. I took it to the dealership to be fixed because I heard there was a tsa for it. They said it was normal to roll backwards and that I needed to keep my foot on the brake. I have almost hit another vehicle because of it rolling backwards. This should not be doing this in an automatic.
My 2007 ford edge is now in the process of having a transmission leak repaired due to faulty axle seals (so I'm told) for the fourth time in 18 months. I was informed by a service manager that my edge is not the first he has seen to have this problem. Also ford has stopped shipping replacement seals because they are no better than the originals. Ford's stance seems to be that there is no major problem, the vehicle was just repaired in january of this year for the same problem. The problem first appeared in december of 07, I took delivery in august of 07. The vehicle was also repaired in 08 for this problem.
Burning smell originating from failed seal (now on national backorder this past year) in ptu assembly on most ford edge and mercury mkx models. I've had my vehicle in the shop 3 times over the past year and they do not have replacement ptu assemblies in stock as the company who made them are now out of business. Transmission fluid leaks from ptu assembly onto exhaust, into vents and into our lungs. Vehicle is still in the service area at midway ford in roseville, mn. They say I can drive it until they find a part, however it is winter and that is not an option as the windows must remain open.

Power transfer unit leaking onto exhaust causing a burning rubber smell into the cabin when stopped. Occurs after driving vehicle for 10-15min. Took vehicle to dealership seals replaced approximately 2 weeks ago(12-8-08). Smell resolved. Yesterday smell returned (12-22-08). Believe smell is from leaking seals again. Leaking onto exhaust giving off burning rubber smell/fumes into the cabin area. Somewhat of a noxious smell, very putrid.
My 2007 ford edge all wheel drive has a leaking problem from the transfer case. It has had this problem since the day it was new. Several visits to the dealer I was told it is not leaking although there was always oil on my drive. I own an auto repair shop so I had it in the shop and knew without a doubt it was leaking. What makes it dangerous is the leak drips directly on the exhaust pipe which is right below the transfer case. You can smell burning oil and it smokes a lot of times when stopping at stop signs. The dealer has went as far as replacing the transfer case. That fixed the problem for a few months but the leak always comes back. I have researched the problem and on fordedgeforum.com have found many owners having the same problem. I am afraid ford is not able to find a permanent fix for the problem and someone is going to get burned. I have read of these vehicles catching on fire but have not heard the cause. This leak could be causing it. In my own repair shop I have noticed customer vehicles have the same leak as mine. Something needs to be done about it. This affects the 2007 and 2008 ford edge and lincoln mkx models that are all wheel drive and have a transfer case or "ptu unit."
Automatic transmission will not hold vehicle in place on even slight incline. I.e. Vehicle in drive facing uphill when stopped and brake released vehicle will roll backward down hill. Vehicle facing downhill with transmission in reverse will roll forward when brake is released.
When the edge is in drive and stopped on an incline it will roll backward when you release the brake. It doesn't just roll back a little....it will continue to roll back until you give it some gas or step on the brake. The first time it happened I almost rolled back into the car behind me. I have never experienced this rollback in an automatic vehicle. I read on the internet that there was a tsb for this and took my edge in to have it "reflashed" (as recommended on a ford edge forum) but was told by the dealer that there was no fix (and no such tsb) for it and that this is normal. I feel it is a danger and should be corrected or at the very least mentioned in the owners manual.
Ford in texas. Dealership claims they can not duplicate concerns and will not give any type of document that I bought edge in for concerns unless they are able to duplicate 1st. I feel I was sold a lemon and ford does not want to do warranty work. . One issue my edge will roll back while driving on an incline similar to one of a drive way unless you keep your foot on the brake or apply enough gas to prevent causing an accident.

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
