general problems of the 2007 Ford Edge - part 1

My 2007 Ford Edge lost the use of my accelerometer pedal without any warning, while driving. The pedal collapsed to the floor. The engine continued to run. A wrench image appeared on the dashboard. After towing to service station the gas pedal worked again. No codes could be determined during two diagnostic procedures. After the first mechanics could not determine or diagnose a problem, nor replicate the problem, I had it towed to my local Ford dealership. Their diagnosis claimed no indication of an issue on their diagnostic computer either. I’m afraid to drive my car. Lisa walker, sacramento, California 916-206-2674 lwalker206@yahoo. Com.

Cruise control stops working and starts working again at varies times. Thermostat sticks to cause the the temp to go from normal to hot quick. Fuel gage/floater is never accurate with how much gas is in gas tank.

I was driving then just outta no where my vehicle wouldn't accelerate or respond to me pressing on the gas pedal.

On 11/7-22, I stopped at a major traffic light on my way to work and when the traffic light turned green and I motioned to drive forward, I noticed my car had stalled and proceeded to roll backwards in traffic. I quickly placed my foot on the gas pedal to move forward, however my car continued to roll backwards, almost hitting the vehicle behind me. So I immediately put on my emergency lights and pressed the brakes repeatedly, however my brakes were frozen (hard) and did not stop my car from rolling backwards. After several minutes, my car stopped rolling backwards and I was able to restart it and slowly drive off the major highway to get assistance. When driving off the highway my car was moving extremely slow and rough. Since the incident, my car have not been inspected or repaired by a mechanic. Prior to this incident, my car have stalled out at stops and while driving but never rolled backwards or lost brake control.

I am frustrated with this car. I have had it for a year and nothing but issues, I was experencing where I would go to start the car and the car would not turn over I could sit and try for about 5 minutes and it would turn over. I learned if I pounded on the dash it started. Also when I am driving at any all the warning lights on the dash board light up and the spedometer and rpms stop working and the computer part states no data. Some times it stays on for a while some times it goes off immediately, another rememdy is I will lightly tab the dash and the lights come back on. When I purchased this vehicle a transmission was just put in and now not even a year later it is shifting hard and driving very bad. From looking over the internet this seems to be a common issue. Why are they not putting out an recall. Shame on Ford for this issue.

While driving my 2007 Ford Edge on the interstate highway, going around 70 mph, I noticed a wrench appear on my dash. My speedometer also had stopped working and I got the error code “odo data error”. I eventually pulled over and turned the vehicle off and on, afterwards the vehicle did not accelerate when the gas pedal was pressed.

While driving on very hot days car would sputter and brakes would suddenly give out causing a burn smell under the hood and would cause my brake light bulb burn to the plastic pulled over got out to check the vehicle call explosed.

The vehicle the 2007 Ford Edge shut off on the highway without warning after I turn it back on the gas seemed like it was in passing cuz the car started sputtering like hesitating and then shut off again. When I kept trying to turn the vehicle on unsuccessfully it would crank but not turn over and then I smelled something burning like wires rubber wires something to that effect and it sound like it was it smell like it was coming from under the hood. . . About three days later my brake lights went out and burned straight to the plastic around the bulb.

Makes nosies when going over bumps and abs and suspension lights come on when this happen.

Driving down the highway at 60mph and suddenly my speedometer and gauges all shut down. Just as fast as it went off it came back on again. This seems to be a common occurrence with the Ford Edge. There is obviously a severe issue with the computer system and something needs fixed before someone gets killed!.

When driving down the highway for the 3rd time the traction control light came on and the car just started slowing down. When I turn the car off and back on it goes off, so far it has not come back on or happened happened again. When the happened the second time I got home turned the car off and the wipers came on. Not sure if that is related but it is unusual.

We have had 2 Ford Edges in 3 years both having the same electrical problems. Our first Edge was a 2008, we had it less than a year when everything went wrong. When it would rain all the dashboard lights would stop working, the speedometer wouldn't work, when driving on the highway going 80mph it would just suddenly quit without warning, it started hesitating, driving rough & loss acceleration. When we took it in to get it repaired we were told it was in the electrical/computer system and would cost at least $2,000. 00 to fix and they said even once that was fixed they couldn't guarantee there wouldn't be more wrong with it so we'd be better off to get rid of it. Then we bought our 2007 Edge that we've had just 2 years and the #5 coil had melted needed replace but after replaced it still was running rough, hesitating not any better. We were told we had to take it to a Ford dealer. We were then told it was in the electrical system & would cost at least $2,000. 00 if we got lucky and the problem would be actually fixed. We don't have anywhere near the money to get it fixed, we spent all our money buying our second Edge after our first one went to hell. There really, really needs to be a recall! something is really screwed up when you buy 2 Ford Edges within 3 years and they both have the same thing wrong with them! it's ridiculous and something needs to be done now!!.

I bought a 2007 Ford Edge in July of 2018. Less then 2 months later my pcm has gone bad burning up all 6 coil packs in my Edge. I have contacted Ford and there is a technical service bullentin on the pcm and coil packs, but was told not enough people have reported the issue to put out a recall. I can not afford over $2000. 00 to have this fixed. Ford is aware that it is a defective part and I dont understand why there is not a recall on it. I was in the middle of 6 lanes of traffic during rush hour and the SUV just lost power. I could have been killed. I had no warning or anything the SUV just slowly started losing power and check engine light didnt even cut on until after I turned Edge off and restarted. This is an issue in need of a recall ASAP! I have done alot of research and have found that the faulty pcm burns up the coil packs and everyone who is just replacing coils is going to have the same issue again since it is the faulty pcm burning the coils and until the pcm ($835) is replaced they will continue to keep replacing the coils ($80 x 6 =$480. 00) none of these prices include labor! also doesnt include the cost to reprogram the new pcm to my keys since if you dont flash the new pcm the Edge wont start due to the keys our programmed specifically to the pcm installed to the Edge. If you have already paid to have these issue fixed please still call Ford when and if they issue a recall (which they need to!) you can submit your receipt and be reimbursed for cost to have it fixed! the pcm pushes to much electricity to the spark plugs in turn burning the coils and could possibly cause the SUV to catch fire!!!!! I have not been able to drive my Edge in 3 weeks and still owe money on it!.

While merging onto the interstate at approximately 45 mph car started shaking and losing acceleration. Limped along to next exit in fear of being flattened by interstate traffic. Was found to have a melted #5 coil. Replaced coil and still shuddering and shaking. #5 melted again, pcm problems. Seems to have happened to many others. Very dangerous. Happened with no warning at 162000 miles. Needs a recall.

2007 Ford Edge issues with engine misfiring. I took it to an independent mechanic and I was told at least one coil pack burnt out along with the pcm (power control module) when the misfiring occurred it caused massive shaking to the vehicle which was a huge distraction. This is a significant safety hazard, in 2016, there were over 3,000 vehicular fatalities related to distractions while driving. Independent mechanic recommended taking the vehicle to Ford dealer for pcm replacement and re-programing. Dealer said vehicle was no longer under warranty. Vehicle has just over 71,000 miles.

Tail light sockets burnt. Melting light bulbs.

My blinker light started blinking really fast and I knew that that indictated that I had a bulb out. I saw that it was the rear left and purchased a new bulb for it. I searched online for how to change the bulb properly and found several videos for how to do it but they all showed that the bulb socket had overheated and was burnt. Sure enough, when I opened up mine to change the bulb, the socket that holds the bulb is burnt and the the bulb was partially melted into the socket. I checked other side and it is the same thing. The socket is burnt and charred and the bulb is stuck in it. This is obviously an overheating issue and I'm concerned for the safety of the vehicle.

We have a 2007 Ford Edge my wife was driving on the freeway, she was approaching her exit when the vehicle shut off completely. Thank god she could pull over and after several attempts to start the car again, she succeeded. This happened about 6 months ago. About 3 or 4 months later, she was pulling into a parking lot of a store when the vehicle shut off again without a warning. She got stuck in the middle of the lane blocking all traffic. A few minutes later it started again seemingly without any problem. Until two weeks ago, she was driving down the street and the car shut off for the third time. And for the last week, the car has problems starting. It cranks for a few seconds like it has no fuel then starts. Today's date 9/3/2018.

Had engine coil failure and pcm burnt up causing $1650 in damage repairs. This was unsafe since it happened while my daughter was driving through our town (oxford, ms) and could have resulted in an accident.

Tail light sockets are burnt.

Defective power control module on Ford from these years causes engine to stall, run poorly and cause electrical problems affecting the steering, brakes and transmission. This extremely common Ford defect can create a potentially deadly vehicle control failure at highway speed.

When operating the turn signals in either direction the rear light would not work intermittently at first, and then permanently. Upon pulling the rear bulb housing, I noticed the turn signal light socket was burnt in appearance. Opon trying to remove the bulbs, one of the retaining tabs on one side broke off. Inside the sockets (both sides) were full of whitish corrosion. The main issue here is twofold: if you look online on the Ford Edge forum, you will see many, many other people have had the exact same issue. Secondly, this presents a fire and driving hazard. Keep in mind my wife's car does not even have 70,000 miles on it yet and is garage kept. She does not ride the brakes and turn signals are used as often as needed. . . Hazards hardly ever used. I'll have to pay for 2 new sockets and bulbs with no guarantee it won't happen again.

2007 Ford Edge has ptu leak, the transmission is not shifting properly, the brake light bulbs are constantly blowing and melting in the socket. The brakes sound like they are grinding metal and the cd player decided to quit working too. I have read online of others having all of these exact same problems. The ptu and transmission problems should not be something that the owner should have to pay to have corrected when it is clearly a design flaw from the manufacturer. I am a single mother and still making payments on this car and cannot afford to pay thousands of dollars to have their design flaw repaired!! when in motion the transmission acts as though it doesn't know when to shift. It kind of feels like I am in a manual and haven't changed gears when I am supposed to and if I don't push the clutch in it will stall out. But instead this is an automatic behaving that way and instead of a clutch I have to give it more gas to get it to downshift or it acts like it is going to stall. This is a problem going 20 or below as well as 55 or above, it also feels like the driveshaft is vibrating the whole car when it does this. It started out being intermittent but now it is a daily occurrence, but it is all I have to drive to work so I deal with it. It needs to be recalled!!.

My door ajar lamp comes on at random times and when I lock my car for the night, it drains my battery. I have to open and close the door numerous times to get the interior light to go off, but sometimes that doesn't work. Once while I was driving on the highway, my door ajar lamp came on and my auto door locks unlocked all the doors. This has been going on now for 2 months and today it happened again.

One morning my Ford started running rough. A rough idol. Shaking in the body. The check engine light started blinking. I took it to a mechanic that morning to check the computer. The mechanic stated it read as a bank one miss fire. I replaced the bank one coil and spark plug from the mechanic. The car still drove rough. I was on my way to the the dealer the next day, three or four miles away ,when the car shut down on the highway between two busy exits. I lost power and control of the vehicle. Thanks to the state police, I was pushed to a safer location. I was towed to the dealer from there. I wasn't told the power-train module needed replacement until after all the coils and spark plugs were replaced two days later.
