I have a 2008 Ford Edge. I have been putting up with many issues until the last one I experienced last year. My usual problems have been when on an incline & trying to go forward, the car will go backwards causing you to have your foot on the brake and the gas at the same time so you will not hit the car behind you. Also the transmission shifts very hard. When driving the vehicle will jerk for no apparent reason. But the last problem that caused me to park the vehicle was when it just stopped accelerating in the middle of traffic. I was fortunate to be able to coast to a nearby parking lot. I am afraid to drive this vehicle now. I cannot afford to take it to a dealership to have repairs right now.
