Automatic Transmission Control Module problems of the 2008 Ford Edge

The contact owns a 2008 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds the vehicle would not properly accelerate and the engine would misfire. Also on occasions the check engine light had illuminated and the speed would not increase past 10 mph. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who diagnosed that the input out sensor in the transmission was faulty causing the ignition coil to melt. The contact indicated that the pcm was also faulty. The vehicle was repaired but the failures continued to occur. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 50,000.

The contact owns a 2008 Ford Edge. The contact stated that the vehicle experienced violent vibration and shaking. The check engine warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the auto nation Ford dealer where it was diagnosed that the pcm had burned and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 128,822.

On approximately 7/6/2016, while in motion, traveling north on riverside drive -I-55 north, on the 2-lane overpass at I-55 & mclemore, 18 wheeler was to the right and I was behind another motorist in line and traveling about 70 mph with a line of vehicles behind, it was after work rush hour 4:45pm; when as I am driving the vehicle sputters, seemed to it lose power, decelerates in the middle of on going traffic. The engine light flashed and then stayed illuminated, I could not accelerate in order get off to the side of the highway and traffic was at a very fast flow. My sync system surged, a-c stopped blowing cold air, the vehicle started "missing" but the vehicle did not shut off. Took the vehicle to advance auto parts store and was told that I had a misfire in 3 of the ignition coils, bought replacement coils and had all 6 of them replaced. Start the vehicle and the engine light was cleared but came right back, the vehicle is still miss firing on the exact same coils this time along with the pcm. Out of hundreds of dollars at the moment and it looks like I will be out of $3000 to Ford for an issue that they know is faulty within the design of the computer. We've already paid $30,000 for the vehicle, why would Ford not recall and repair these issues if they are aware of it????.

Car loses all power unexpectedly and randomly, at any and all speeds, anywhere, anytime, displaying odo data error, transmission violently shakes into gears, car revs up but does not accelarate, upon turning car off, removing key, opening door, reinserting and restarting car (if you managed to safely pull on the side of the road), all error displays disappear, transmission clunks in gear and car needs to be forced to rev up to reset, once it resets car drives normally again till next failure. Ford dealers unable to diagnose problem as it leaves no codes. First time charged $800 for "possible" cause that wasn't, now $1700 as pcm melted and took along with it all ignition coils. Guess what, odo data error and transmission trouble still present. Both the Ford company and you people at the NHTSA need to step up to the plate and if Ford doesn't voluntarily recall the Edge, you ought to force them to recall it before someone gets mauled. This auto defect is an absolute danger to the operator and anyone else on the road.

This has been an ongoing problem for a while now (years). What is happening is my transmission is struggling to shift into gear, but more often when traveling at approximately 15-25 mph. At this speed, it will shift but oftentimes when it shifts there is a thud and hard jerk, almost seeming as my transmission is going to drop right out of my car. When I first had this diagnosed, the dealership thought perhaps my pcm needed recalibrated. Shortly after the recalibration, the entire pcm fried and it needed replaced. Luckily, it was covered under an 80,000 mile warranty (my car had about 75,000 miles on it. . . Phew). Needless to say, after the entire pcm replacement, my car still struggles to shift and, unfortunately, it seems like I am not the only one having this problem.

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 missfire on the clynders and the transmission was reving 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 thats when the check engine light came on. We pulled the code and it was p0352 (ingintion coil 2 or pcm) so we bought and changed all spark plugs and coil 2. This still didnt 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 maintence on my car.

Driving home from work at a speed of 55 to 65 on I-65 in montgomery, alabama when all of a sudden my car begin to not recognize the gas . It slowed down suddenly and the engine began to shake. I made it to an exit by driving slowly with hazard lights on. We took the car to gilmore Ford the same day. On 11/8/12 we were informed that the pcm caused the coil pack (2) to not fire and therefore burned it up. I asked if this was a known problem with the car and was informed by [xxx] that he has only seen it once. Well I decide to look into it via the web and found that this is a known defect in the pcm installed on Ford Edges. My thought is that had traffic been going faster I would have had an accident in the middle of the highway with how quickly the car speed shifted down.

The contact owns a 2008 Ford Edge limited. The contacted stated that while traveling 20-25 mph, a popping noise emitted outside of the vehicle as the vehicle became resistant to acceleration attempts. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who confirmed that the pcm module failed and the engine coils were melted. The manufacturer was contacted. The vehicle was repaired. The failure mileage was 81,000 and the current mileage was 82,000.

Occasionally, (once or twice a year) the vehicle jerks violently once between 20-45 mph when slowing and then accelerating. Feels like the vehicle was rear ended or hit a huge pot hole. This has happened very intermittently. Recently, it is happening once or twice a month. Local Ford dealer checked pcm (?) calibration and updated it to TSB 08. Hopefully this will solve the problem.
