2007 Ford Edge: shudder or vibration when accelerating

Filed Apr 14, 2020 · Engine, Transmission · PA

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.

Transmission shudders between 5th and 6th gear. Only one previous owner. Owned vehicle less than one year. Became increasingly worrisome very fast.

While merging onto the interstate at approximately 45 MPH car started shaking and losing acceleration. Limped along to next exit in fear of being flattened by interstate traffic. Was found to have a melted #5 coil. Replaced coil and still shuddering and shaking. #5 melted again, PCM problems. Seems to have happened to many others. Very dangerous. Happened with no warning at 162000 miles. Needs a recall

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.

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.

My vehicle all of a sudden started to slow down suddenly like I had taken my foot off the gas. It started shuddering and my transmission light came on. I thought it was the transmission so I had it towed to the shop. After diagnosis, it showed my cylinders were misfiring. It was due to a bad coil which was causing the spark plugs to read at an extremely high voltage. They needed to replace all coils and all spark plugs. Then found out that it fried my PCM(computer) which also had to be replaced. Come to find out, this is a know issue with the 2007 ford edge and there is a tsb on it for this exact situation. The dealership told me that the PCM had a malfunction which caused the coils/spark plugs to go bad. They also said the PCM has a manufacturer 8 year/80,000 mile warranty. Well I was at 7 years/83000 miles and when they submitted the warranty claim, ford denied it forcing me to pay $2400 for the repairs. I think this is ridiculous to deny a known malfunction for only 3000 miles over. What if I had been on the highway when my vehicle suddenly came to a stop? I had my son with me that day and this could have caused a major accident, possibly involving other drivers, and we may have even been injured. And ford doesn't feel responsible to help with the cost of this repair??

2007 ford edge has been shifting gears heavy (especially low) and getting worse. Last week it should have down shifted to 2nd but instead up shifted to like 4 or 5th gear and I lost any real power to get up the hill. The noise itself was a very noticeable bang and shudder. This is apparently happening to other because there's youtube videos of the exact same thing.

After pulling out onto a highway, my car would not accelerate. The engine didn't stop but pressing gas did not help. Was forced to coast to side, car shuddered, then stalled. After waiting a few, car started. Was able to drive it a mile to a nearby repair shop. We were called and advised it was a transmission issue and due to miles on the car, it should be towed to the nearest dealership (under warranty). Ford service could not reproduce the issue. We were told nothing was wrong & to pick it up. Prior to picking up, we found a tsb that described what we had but were told there was nothing wrong. May 2013, car did same but this time, the wrench light came on. Towed (to another ford service dealer),& issue was found. Repair made. Not surprisingly, issue was same tsb we pulled in 2011. 7 months later, car shuddered, & stalled again. Only difference with this occurrence is now the engine died. Towed back to dealer. Was informed it was the PCM or main computer which caused the ignition coils to burn up. So, in short, owning this car for 2 years, having towed 3 times for the same issue, all in 3 extremely unsafe conditions, has left me with no choice but to file a complaint. This computer software issue is a major safety concern and based on other comments found online, ford is not willing to take necessary precautions to prevent what could be a saddening fatal situation. This car is not safe to drive and the service department at ford is not cooperative in resolving the problem. It is a known issue yet no recall has been made. So heartbreaking to see so many that have had this same problem as me and know that nothing is being done. I am paying for this repair but will turn around and sell the car. Won't be my death! Never will I purchase a ford vehicle. The safety of my family is my utmost concern and should also be ford's but apparently is not. Thank 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.
