While driving car makes severe roaring/ humming noise. Also while driving making turns or not making turns the car jerks uncontrollably. My door sensor will not recognize whether or not my front driver door is closed, so while I'm driving down the road it says my driver door is open. There is a recall that I was never notified about on the suspension; front hub,. I've contacted my local prater ford & ford motor company with no help. I have the work order # from prater ford where we tried to resolve this problem, it is work order # 80025 on march 12, 2018. Their number is 706‑629‑2883 ask to speak to ashley p.; service provider.

"takata recall" I was driving my child to school in highway traffic, speeds of 55 MPH. The car mileage indicators went blank, a wrench light came on and all power to car was lost during turning a curve on highway.vehicle started making very loud popping noise and jerking the car. Turned car off after coming to a stop, restarted car, no warning lights, everything was normal except, when starting car, it made very loud noise as it was started, then as I placed in drive or reverse it moved the vehicle jerking an loud popping noise. The entire motor moved sideways when placed in gear an hood up. Also now it no longer works in low gear. Once placed on machine it gave code po720-722

Driving on the highway suddenly speedometer/odometer stopped working, low tire pressure light came on and car acceleration dropped and it wouldn't respond to increased pressure on gas pedal. Car would not accelerate. Had to get off the highway. Car would only travel at a very low speed. Made my way to a parking lot and shut the car off. Shifting into any gear (reverse, drive etc.) caused the car to jump/shake and make a loud noise. After a while it resolved itself. Took the car to a ford dealership. They checked it out, could find no issue (incidental finding - car needed battery). Battery was replaced, picked up car and resumed driving the car. Within a week was driving on the highway (second time since picking the car up) and had the same thing happen. Driving on highway and suddenly see the speedometer/odometer stop working, low tire pressure light and lose ability to control acceleration of vehicle. Had to get off the highway, car wouldn't travel at anything other than very low speed, jerked when shifted etc. This has happened twice and when looking it up online I can see it has happened to many with this model/year. It is very dangerous to suddenly lose the ability to control acceleration. Why has this not been addressed with a recall. It seems to occur once the car reaches close to 100k miles. Can't help but wonder why dealership is not aware but I can find reams of documented issues online. Fyi - this car is primarily driven by my 19 year old son and both incidences occurred when he was driving.

Vehicle will act like it ' jumps' and the wrench light will come on. Vehicle will decelerate if I don't pull over immediately causing me to come to a stop. Speedometer doesn't work while this is happening. Cant accelerate once stopped. Has to turn vehicle off to reset the computer and the wrench light will go off for a period of time until it decides to happen again. Very dangerous situation if on the highway and can't get out of the way of other cars to cut the vehicle off. Happens a few times a month.

Vehicle initially would not accelerate beyond 10 MPH then completely lost power in the middle of rush hour traffic. Local repair center reported issues with PCM and was unable to fix it. Sent it to a ford dealer who confirmed issues with PCM that damaged the body throttle, 3 engine coils, and other parts. Had to replace PCM and parts damaged by it resulting in a $2894.10 repair bill. The following day after repair, was again in the middle of rush hour traffic and the vehicle completely loss power again. This is a serious safety concern and based on research, a lot of people are experiencing the same thing. Ford need to recall this issue. I'm so thankful my child was not in the vehicle during these events.

The PCM on my ford edge has went out for a second time after 5 years of having it fixed the first time. This issue is an on going issue that once again will cost over 1000 to replace and repair all the problems this has caused such as the computer itself all the spark plugs even though it is not time for this to be changed again the car was purchased with 95000 miles on it and within a month of having it the car shot the computer we replaced all the spark plugs coils and the computer thru a dealership and now the vehicle is at 123000 and once again it is time to replace all the parts again. This needs to be recalled due to the loss of power while driving when this issue first starts.

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.
