general problems of the 2007 Ford Edge - part 2

Car is skipping or jerking when going up hills. Happens multiple times when car is moving up hills. Most likely transmission problem or sensor problem.

My vehicle all of a sudden started to slow down suddenly like I had taken my foot off the gas. It started shuddering and my transmission light came on. I thought it was the transmission so I had it towed to the shop. After diagnosis, it showed my cylinders were misfiring. It was due to a bad coil which was causing the spark plugs to read at an extremely high voltage. They needed to replace all coils and all spark plugs. Then found out that it fried my pcm(computer) which also had to be replaced. Come to find out, this is a know issue with the 2007 Ford Edge and there is a TSB on it for this exact situation. The dealership told me that the pcm had a malfunction which caused the coils/spark plugs to go bad. They also said the pcm has a manufacturer 8 year/80,000 mile warranty. Well I was at 7 years/83000 miles and when they submitted the warranty claim, Ford denied it forcing me to pay $2400 for the repairs. I think this is ridiculous to deny a known malfunction for only 3000 miles over. What if I had been on the highway when my vehicle suddenly came to a stop? I had my son with me that day and this could have caused a major accident, possibly involving other drivers, and we may have even been injured. And Ford doesn't feel responsible to help with the cost of this repair??.

The transmission feels like it is in neutral. It jerks like someone has ran into your vehicle with their vehicle. Several warning lights come on. Speedometer goes to zero. If you come to a stop, you may not get going again. Had this checked out and replaced a sensor costing me $425. 00 and less than 2 weeks later, problem occurs again. Had this checked out and now they are hollering another sensor has went bad and this one is going to cost $600. 00. Did not have this one fixed!! also had to have vehicle towed home one time costing even more money. . . .

I have been experiencing very odd unexplainable events with my 2007 Ford Edge since fall of 2012 which has now resulted in full failure of my transmission. Beginning in the fall, my Edge started to give me warning messages on my electronic dash panel reading "tire pressure monitor fault", once put in reverse, the car would make a violent jerking motion and loud ugly sound. The message on the dash would then change to read "odb data error". The wrench and airbag icons would be lit. After shifting to drive, the car sounded as if it was in high gear, but it would refuse to accelerate to a fast speed. Once driving, the speedometer would not register speed, it would sit at 0 mph. The digital odometer failed to display anything. As I drove, the transmission would not shift or it would seem to try to shift and then the car would make the same violent jerking motion as I experienced when I put it in reverse. If I stopped, it would be difficult to get the car moving, it wouldn't want to move/accelerate. The car would also make unexpected lunging movements while driving. The car would also on occasion suddenly stop accelerating while driving, almost as if it had automatically shifted into low gear. This happened to me several times while driving on the expressway. Not safe! on Monday, June 17, 2013, my transmission failed completely. Unacceptable for a car my age! as I have begun to investigate this problem on the web, to my surprise, this problem is extensive. Ford owners have been complaining about this for years, yet Ford has failed to recognize this problem with a recall. Help! this problem is costly and potentially hazardous!!!.

The contact owns a 2007 Ford Edge. The contact stated while driving approximately 73 mph there was a slight reduction in the engine power. The vehicle began to vibrate violently. There were no warning indicators illuminated at the time of failure. The vehicle was maneuvered to the side of the road for inspection. The vehicle was then taken to an authorized dealer for diagnosis. The ignition coil assembly, hla engine control module and pcm were replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 84,334.

While driving my five old sons to school yesterday morning, I start noticing the car stops changing speed and start shaking all the sudden then the engine service light start blinking. I have slowed down and keep driving my soon to school but it was bad experience driving with morning traffic. I am glad that I am not driving on the big highways the consequence could be different. The dealer told me the ignition computer (rpm) is causing one of the ignition coil to melt and crack. For sure this is a big safety concern on this car that requires recall.

We purchased our vehicle used and with an extended warranty. Several months after we had the vehicle we noticed it would jump or skip almost like it is not going into gear. At first it started with being at a stop sign and when I tried to go it would jump. It eventually started to happen while we are driving, there is no consistent situation like going up or down a hill, stopped at a stopped sign, or even backing up where that is the only time it happens. Over the last 3 years we have had several shops look at it including a the Ford dealership where we purchased it while it was under warranty and after. Each time they advised the computer was not registering anything wrong. Every location drove the vehicle and did feel the same thing but were unable to locate the issue. We have even left the car at the shop for several days at a time for them to drive and try to locate the issue. I have contact Ford but was advised there was no recall or anyone else having issues but I was welcome to call back and keep advising them of the issue. The repair shops advised I would have to wait for something to essentially break to be able to locate the problem. Other than this issue we have had no mechanical problems with the car and we have it serviced regularly but we are concerned with driving it long distances and I am afraid this jump/skip may eventually cause an accident. I would like to try to see if anyone else is having this issue or if anything can be done to correct the problem.

Our 2007 Ford Edge has experienced the engine cutting off without warning three times. The dealer reprograms the pcm module but the problem continues. It was reprogrammed on 7/20/2010 and it cut off again on 7/23/2010 at 50 mph again without any warning. This is an unnerving ,unsafe condition. This has happened over a 13 month period, twice now within a month.

The contact owns a 2007 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while accelerating after stopping at a stop sign the vehicle would not move forward. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where the failure could not be duplicated. The dealer performed a diagnostic but no failure codes generated. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 23,000 and the current mileage was approximately 27,000.

Since January 2010 transmission slip only happens periodically about 8 to 10 times a year . . Since 11/2012 trembling/shudder to the engine when vehicle accelerates between 45-50mph (torque converter) or replace transmission recommended by service center on 10/16/2013. On 1/31/2013 recall service completed on my vehicle malfunction indicator lamp (mil) on with diagnostic trouble codes powertrain control module (pcm) with 1 or more damaged coil(s) on plugs.

If I accelerate more than 15 mph the car would what I call "slam" into the next gear. When I am accelerating onto the highway or accelerate and then back off the gas and go again or if I accelerate into the passing lane the car doesn't drive. I have had the car to bethlehem Ford, kelly Ford in emmaus and gilboy Ford in whitehall for the problem two times at each location. No one can find out what is wrong. Contacted Ford directly and they say take it to the dealership for repair, I told them I did numerous times and they told me this. "the car learns how you drive, so when you drive out of character the car basically reacts by telling you now wait a minute I don't know what you're doing and the car reacts in a confused manner". They also told me that because I'm not an aggressive driver that when I do drive aggressive "the car doesn't understand". I drive highway every day to and from work, I have to be aggressive most of the time to survive on the highway and keep up with traffic. I have asked the dealership to come down the block so I can show them what the car does since it does it every day when I leave work but they tell me they can't because it is a liability issue for them to drive in the car with me. They have had the car and can't make it repeat the situation; I have gone on test rides with a mechanic and can't make it repeat the problem. I was taking one of our employees to go pick up one of the company vehicles at gilboy and I said do you want me to show you what my car does and he said yes. So I made the car do the slamming into gear and he said that isn't right he tried to fight for me at gilboy but they said again no code and they couldn't repeat the situation. Now my car is almost out of warranty and still no fix. I don't have money to make major repairs to a car that is why I bought new and I don't have money to buy a new car.
