While driving ,in full motion, , the car comes to an almost stop! Scares you to death, you check to make sure you haven't accidently put the car in neutral , all the warning lights on the dash light up ,the check engine, the low tire gage symbol, the tool light,, the speedometer stops working, . The car refuse to move forward, placed in reverse it moves backward ,the ford dealer is unable to fix the problem ,codes don't show up to help identify the problem. The danger is it happens while you are driving. Its been diagnosed as a transmission problem (very expensive) but that's not what it is. You reprogram it temporary, by taking the positive battery cable loose for a few seconds, the car drives perfect until it happens again, its happen three times with this car, I have called the ford cooperate office to report this problem.
2008 Ford Edge driver assistance complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 19 of 19, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The car lost power when entering the freeway. It was misfiring and was not able to keep up with the speed limit. The repair shop found the coil was melted and cracked. The engine misfired #6 cylinder. The PCM module did not shut down the cylinder to prevent the misfire, which resulted in the destruction of the ignition coil, and PCM module. The new PCM module had to be purchased from ford as no after market existed. The repair bill was over two thousand dollars. We were told this could have started a fire. Hoping the new module works properly.
I always maintained my "pre-owned" vehicle, purchased from dealership with 25,000 miles. Began to experience a plethora of problems after 2,000 miles. I've paid over $8,000 in repairs and only drove it 35,000 in 8 years time, but maintained it properly & regularly: I've had to change the brakes & pads, & battery twice, it's wheel rims constantly leak air in the winter causing flat tires, changed all 4 tires, and on august 2, 20017, while driving on the highway at 60 MPH, my steering control suddenly locked up! There was no control over the vehicle's movements- no ability to make lane adjustments or turns! I and my entire family including grandchildren could have been killed!! Luckily, the next off-ramp was a straight shot & I was able to exit the hwy safely and bring the vehicle to stop despite no steering control. I had my vehicle towed to a ford dealership which incorrectly diagnosed the problem, & did not bother to inspect it for three days. It now needs a costly ($1500) rack and pinion to replace it's rusted out pressurized fuel line for power steering fluid. It remains unrepaired to date since there is also a takata airbag recall w/ possible fatal injury on this VIN. The repairs have been delayed because this vehicle is an unsafe danger to drive! The fuel line defect was undetectable even though I had regular maintenance care and checkups.
Pulling out of a parking lot turning right tried to accelerate significant amount of traffic behind me after turning and I couldn't go anywhere. Pulled into the nearest parking lot approx. 50 feet or more piled into parkin spot. Then sat for a couple inured wrench illuminated on dash board. Tried to back up to straighten vehicle and it made a loud clunk noise when putting in reverse. After turning off car went to restart after 30 minutes car made loud clunk again without being in gear. At this time it isn't a recalled item just. Tsb and not getting any resolution as to why this isnt a recall item. Approx. 45 minutes prior to this incident I was on the highway driving the speed limit. What would have happened if the failure occurred at this point. Thank god it didn't as I wouldn't be writing this letter. For the safety of others this should be considered a recall item.
I pulled out of my driveway and everything was fine. I pulled out of my neighborhood and as soon as I gave it any good amount of gas it starting driving really rough and shaking and the A/C went out you could hear the misfire on the cylinders and the transmission was revving high before it would shift gears. No check engine lights or anything at this point. I turned back around and took my car back home turned it off and then turned it back on and that's when the check engine light came on. We pulled the code and it was p0352 (ignition coil 2 or PCM) so we bought and changed all spark plugs and coil 2. This still didn't fix the problem. So I took it in to the dealership and $3000 later they had to replace my PCM (the main computer that run the car) all 6 coils and spark plugs. I did a lot of research about my car having this problem and it seems like a lot of people are having the same issue. Please recall this. My computer should not have gone out when I do regular maintenance on my car.
I was stoped at stop sign my 2008 ford edge with no signs of problems. When I started to pull out there was low power and the wrench signal went on. Car would not go faster then 5mph. I was very concerned for cars in back of were impatient and passing. I researched this problem on the inertnet and it seems to be happening with alot of these make and model cars.
Gauges on dash stop working. Tool symbol shows up also tire pressure warning and exclamation mark. Carstarts to slow down. When car is put in reverse it makes a loud clucking noise. Like the motor is gonna fall out. Can't drive it forward but u can go in reverse. This has happened several times. If you let the car sit for a few days it goes back to normal. This has to be a serious problem because lots of people on youtube have posted videos of the same problem! Now I'm stuck over 100 miles away from home. Not cool ford!!!!!
Went through intersection standing on brake pedal, would not stop, left side wheels locked up. Slid on blacktop 2+ car lengths to oncoming traffic shoulder, 2 more car lengths on gravel. Told by repair shop ABS unit not working properly. Could not explain why power went to wheels on the right while driving down road. Was 60,000 and 4 years old. Now 6 1/2 and 67,000 miles, still stuck with it.
The vechile loss power and stalled out. After that the car on the second occurrence won"t start had to charge battery the car raced whiled idling and had no power to run. Went back to the dealer and are unable to find any problem. So we are now stuck with a car that will shut down and lose all power which is not safe to drive do to the fact that if we drove it at night and stalls out we lose all power and with no power the other cars may run into us and cause an accident which we are unable to prevent. Thank you this is a dangerous situation. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)
