Driving and out of no where, receive an error message that says "odo data error", the car holds the current speed but it's very apparent that something is off as the car is now making a humming/air pressure sound (speedometer & tachometer stops working at various speeds) when this happens the wrench, airbag, ABS, stability control indicator and engine light illuminate. Within 5 minutes new error appears (tire pressure monitor fault). Once you have pressed the brakes and come to a complete stop the car is extremely hesitant to accelerate even with the gas pedal pushed completely to the floor it doesn't gain power until it has rolled about 15-20 feet and at that point there is a extremely loud bang which makes you think the entire underbelly of the car has fallen out. At that point it regains speed again, but if you stop it does the same thing all over. Switching gears result in a loud bang and jerking action of the car with little to no acceleration power. Temporary remedy is to pull over turn car off wait a minute or two then restart the car. At that point when switching gears the bang and jerk happen again with the car slow to accelerate for a few seconds then it takes off like a race horse. Sometimes this remedies it while other times the same process is repeated multiple times within one trip. This has occurred on city streets and major expressways at speeds of 35 MPH to 60 MPH. First started experiencing the issue at about 170k miles and has been going on for over a year with no solutions from mechanics. If a mechanic with equipment/computers can't remedy a repair and seeing how there are numerous complaints of the same issue ford should issue a recall to repair any components that could trigger the issue. This is pure negligence seeing that there are so many complaints. My opinion is it has something to do with the transmission and computer system.

Well this is been recalled. On other 2008 ford. Edge but I think my 2008 ford edge should be in that recall I recently bought my edge from a used dealer all the safety issues and recalls my ford edge has my has all of the issues my ford edge went in for tire rotation and oil change when they returned my car I left the shop and then realized the front tire is vibrating when driven slowly and turns I called ford to ask if my car was one of the ones on the recall list for bearing recall and the said no I know this was not an issue till now and im afraid to drive my car due to this recall I feel my car should be included also of course the tranny is definitely not working correctly when also driving slowly it jerks terribly in to another gear. Serval times I have avoided car accidents by having to brake abruptly cause the car to get stuck in that gear and me having to suddenly forcing the car to pull over to side of busy 5 o clck traffic and turn off car and restart it to engage the gears to the next one I have backed into my fence do to this sudden jerking without warning and have damaged my back bumper due to this issue and that my car is not been recall due to these issues. First time I buy american and first-time I hate my car now im stuck making payment on a car that has so many issues and un able to drive safely I making payment for the next 17 months for a car I cant drive and I will never buy american again also the brakes a grinding and squeeling and since I have ABS brakes system shouldnt the warning light be warning me before they actually start sounding like grinding to pieces of metal together I feel my car should be one of the one that should get recalled for issues other cars have been recalled for the same issues and this started since 6/16 /2018 and has been everyday since and im also still waiting to get the air bag recall fixed its been over a year

9/11/2015 my ABS light started going on and off a few days ago so I checked the brake fluid and it was empty. I filled it up last night and the light still came back on this morning. As I was approaching an intersection this morning, my brakes temporarily went out as I tried to stop. I was able to stop in time though because I was not going very fast. They went back to working after that. Now I am afraid to drive it even to take it to get serviced. I did check the fluid and it is still full.
