Power train: transmission. I have a ford edge built on 01/04/07. Purchased on april 01,2007 about 30 days after that about once a week after sitting all night upon leaving the house the transmission starts out smoothly but as I step on the gas the transmission has a sudden surge and makes a loud 'bang" and down shifts causing a sudden down turn in speed. Then it just goes away and is fine for several days . Lately this occurring more and more(about every four days at the moment. Unusual thing is it only occurs in the morning start up. When I took into the dealer they found a notice put out by ford stating that cars built in between december 15,2006 and january 10,2007 have a problem of shifting from fouth to first in start up. But ford states that without the computer noting this one specific code they will not replace the transmission. I am in great fear that if this starts more often in the regular daytime driving I will never know if I can moderately pick up speed anytime or will the car downshift in common traffic and the possibilities of being struck from behind or broadsided. This is a very serious defect that needs immediate attention. When this occurs the noise alone is frightening. Even though you have it in your mind it could happen it always scares you.
I own a 2007 ford edge, purchased in may 2007. The transmission seems to "shudder" when upshifting or downshifting at speeds between 35-55 MPH. It is apparent when taking your foot off the gas to slow and then applying gas to speed back up. I have taken the vehicle back to the dealership to be checked and was told it was probably "flat spots" on the tires and the problen would go away after 3000 or so miles to give the tires an opportunity to round out. The vehicle was taken in a second time and taken to another dealership for their transmission mechanic to look at. They had the vehicle for over 10 hours and couldn't seem to find anything wrong or get the vehicle to duplicate the problem we brought it in for. The vehicle now has 5600 miles on it and the problem seems to be getting worse. I am going to take it back to the dealer to have it checked again. This time, I'm going to demand to take a drive in another edge to see if it has the same shifting problems I am currently having.
