What 2008 Ford Edge owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
The locked door emblem sporadically comes on and stays on. It makes my interior lights stay on. It runs my battery down. The back passenger side door was opened by a rider and the lock all doors button had been engaged. The red light was on to show doors were not locked. This has been an ongoing issue for several months now. I have an appointment at Ford garage 09/13/22.
Problem with the computer for dash. Was worked on at Ford dealership in Lexington ky and had to borrow money with the lender that was already financing the vehicle for me for repairs. They was unable to repair it but still charged me almost 1,800.00.
The rear taillight socket melted due to excessive heat. This has happened twice to the same vehicle. Once in 05/2019. At the time, a dealer service center recommended replacing the junction box, a $700 repair. The same issue has occurred again.
My backup lights kept burning out and are no longer functional. My directional and taillights have both burned out excessively. Last time I changed my left tail light I noticed the socket the bulb goes into looked a bit charred. My right directional recently burned out and this time the bulb is melted into the socket. I have an appt to have a mechanic change ALL REAR SOCKETS. Upon discovering the melted socket I checked on line and apparently this is a BIG PROBLEM for FORD EDGE. This should be recalled as it is a serious problem.
While driving with my 6 month old son in the car, I couldn't stop using my brakes! I almost crashed!! I looked up the symptoms online and everyone is complaining about this issue. It seems the brake booster fails and the brakes do not work!!! The other issue I have seen, hundreds of people complaining about rear tail lights blowing out and when changing out the bulbs, the bulb sockets are burnt and melted! Mine are the same, burnt up and melted. It is a fire hazard waiting to happen!!
I recently bought used 2008 ford edge. My tail light went out and when I went to change the bulb, I discovered the bulb and the whole socket to be burnt and melted. I took to google and found everyone complaining about the same issue!! This could definitely be a fire hazard, it has me worried with 2 kids in my car!!
I bought a used 2008 ford edge, tail light bulb was burnt out soon after I bought it. Went to change the bulb and discovered the socket was burnt up and melted. Checked the other side and had the same issue! This could definitely be a fire hazard! Googled the problem and found everyone complaining about the same issue!
The driver side brake/turn signal stopped working on 10/10/19 and when I removed the taillight the socket was melted together with the light assembly wish I had a hard time taking it apart, I called ford service department and they said there was nothing they can do about unless I pay to fix it, the car parts shouldn't melt that is why the vehicle is equipped with fuses to burn out before the vehicle catches on fire. The print on the melted part number is: 2u5a 13411-08 080651109
Dash board lights completely out. When car is in drive RPM not appearing also gauges not working. Compass data error appears up with red battery symbol
