The information panel lit up with the check engine light, the wrench, the airbag light, the tire pressure light and displayed a message: odo data error. The odometer/speedometer fell to zero. I stopped at a light and the vehicle would not accelerate normally, then a big clunking sound and finally moved forward. After a night in the garage, the vehicle drove normally the next day and all the warning lights were off. Then one day it happened again. Took it to a ford dealership. They said they could not duplicate the problem and therefore couldn't find anything to fix. Since that time, it has happened several times and each time I pull off the road, turn the engine off, wait a little bit, start the engine again and pull away. There is always the clunking and jerking into gear. After reviewing a few ford online forms, I see that this is a common problem in the 2008 edge and may be attributed to two sensors, the speed output and turbine sensors. For safety reasons, I will only drive on surface streets because I never know when it's going to happen. Seems to me, ford is likely aware of this and would be a shame if someone got hurt. The date below is the most recent occurrence although it has happened several times.

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. Today is a friday, I was supposed to go out of town (via i75) but I am going to stay local as it does not feel safe to drive on the highway. I am greatly concerned about what appears to be a huge safety issue with this car. All you have to do is search - 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.

While driving down the road, the odometer suddenly drops to zero while still moving at the posted speed limit. The wrench symbol warning light in the dash comes on, as well as the airbag light. The mileage is then cleared, and the dash reads "odo error". Pulled over, turned off the vehicle and removed the key from the ignition. Go to turn the vehicle back on, car starts normally, all the warning lights are cleared. Put the vehicle into reverse, and hear and feel a loud "clunk" as the vehicle shifts, and am able to back up normally. When shifting back into drive, the rpms jump up, the car shifts and makes the loud "clunk", and when pushing the accelerator, the vehicle barely moves. It will occasionally come back and the vehicle will return to it's normal running state, but then it will eventually returned to the defective state. No odometer while driving, no power if you stop leaving you stranded.
