general problems of the 2008 Ford Edge - part 1

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.

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.

Rear tail light bulbs are melting, several times now, after doing research it seems to be happening to a lot of people, so I see it as a safety issue. My turn signal went out and went to replace it and discovered the bulb was melted into the socket. (this happened three times now, I'm trying to figure out the issue. (it may be a factory electrical design fluke)also ive began to lose gas andvit is not remaining in the gas tank. It has caused my gas light to come on. Which triggered the check engine light to come on as well. This happened on or about 12/15/2020. Then the bearings an began to shake and wobble badly. From the contaminates amd salts. I am really having difficulties with my vehicle and im in meed of help badly. Now as of 1/5/2021 my car has started to fish tail showing the sway bar is giving out.

The dealer was not contacted or notified of the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 98,000.

When were driving the car it loses power(the traction control just comes on for no reason) , when we go above 70 our abs light comes on, our brakes randomly just start grinding then they will stop, we have replaced the breaks last month.

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!.

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 was driving down the road and the truck lost all power. The only choice I had was to steer the wheel to a safe position on the side of the road. When the happened the doors were locked windows were closed shut I was almost unable to get of the truck safely. Also I was driving down the road after get a new set of tires and the truck began to make a scrubbing sound as if the wheels was grinding against something nothing was there. I remember a recall on the wheel hub and I have had the truck for about 2 years and I don't recall getting the problem repaired but my VIN returns back no active recalls and I can not help but wonder if there is an error.

I own a 2008 Ford Edge limited I am having the same problem as some people on here are with the wrench 🔧 light also a air bag light comes on and I have almost had an accident because the car speedometer stops working and the car shifts super hard it seems to be happening more frequently I did my research on Fords website for finding out the problem and it's a glitch this is a huge safety concern when trying to avoid an accident from occurring also you can't even view the speed I think this should be investigated and recalled because I it can create a unsafe environment to not only my vehicle but others as well.

Vehicle initially would not accelerate beyond 10 mph then completely lost power in the middle of rush hour traffic. Local repair center reported issues with pcm and was unable to fix it. Sent it to a Ford dealer who confirmed issues with pcm that damaged the body throttle, 3 engine coils, and other parts. Had to replace pcm and parts damaged by it resulting in a $2894. 10 repair bill. The following day after repair, was again in the middle of rush hour traffic and the vehicle completely loss power again. This is a serious safety concern and based on research, a lot of people are experiencing the same thing. Ford need to recall this issue. I'm so thankful my child was not in the vehicle during these events.

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 mechanic said the transmission and transfer case exploded costing me over $2,000 in repairs. The ac quit costing around $700 in repairs. The cd/radio has an electrical issue that has not been fixed because I can't afford it estimated at another$700 in repairs.

Both the rear tail/stop light bulb sockets melt from extreme bulb heat. This issue is posted by others all over the internet. This is a potential fire hazard that seriously needs addressing by Ford. In the past I replaced the right rear bulb which is when I discovered the issue. Yesterday I had to replace the left rear bulb and discoverd that socket too is melted along with the base of the bulb itself.

While driving down the road, the odometer suddenly drops to zero while still moving at the posted speed limit. The wrench symbol warning light in the dash comes on, as well as the airbag light. The mileage is then cleared, and the dash reads "odo error". Pulled over, turned off the vehicle and removed the key from the ignition. Go to turn the vehicle back on, car starts normally, all the warning lights are cleared. Put the vehicle into reverse, and hear and feel a loud "clunk" as the vehicle shifts, and am able to back up normally. When shifting back into drive, the rpms jump up, the car shifts and makes the loud "clunk", and when pushing the accelerator, the vehicle barely moves. It will occasionally come back and the vehicle will return to it's normal running state, but then it will eventually returned to the defective state. No odometer while driving, no power if you stop leaving you stranded.

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.

Right rear tail lamp is burnt and turn signal no longer works. I've noted many instances of this occurring on line. There should be a safety recall as this has a fire potential.

Right wheel well vibrates when I turn and drive over50 miles hour transmission jerks like its not engaging to next gear from a stop or when driving under mph back left brake light burns out every other day . Brakes are sqeeling and sound like metal scraping but no indicator has come on for the abs to to be replace must module not working correctly cause mot coding anything with tranny jerking either Ford Edge is peice of shit I never by american again.

My turn signal bulb socket fries repeatedly. This will be the fourth time in 2 years replacing it. It burns up the socket and melts the bottom of the light bulb. I got the parts from Ford dealership also but I have read online any people having issues with it. It just goes out all of a sudden.

Noticed the r/h brake light was out. Went to change the bulb and found the socket is burned and chard. I removed the l/h signal light and found the exact same situation. This is a serious fire hazard and a quick on-line search found multiple similar situations. A coworker of mine with exact same vehicle had the exact same thing happen.

Tl- the contact owns a 2008 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while driving at about 45 mph, the odo data error message illuminated. The wrench light and the tire pressure module failure light also illuminated. The dealer was not called. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed a speed control sensor error code p0720. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and referred the contact to the NHTSA. The failure was not repaired. The failure mileage was 168,378. Fe.

While driving car makes severe roaring/ humming noise. Also while driving making turns or not making turns the car jerks uncontrollably. My door sensor will not recognize whether or not my front driver door is closed, so while I'm driving down the road it says my driver door is open. There is a recall that I was never notified about on the suspension; front hub,. I've contacted my local prater Ford & Ford motor company with no help. I have the work order # from prater Ford where we tried to resolve this problem, it is work order # 80025 on March 12, 2018. Their number is 706-629-2883 ask to speak to ashley p. ; service provider.

Seat caught on fire due to seat warmer electrical malfunction my vehicle was not in motion it was parked.

Tail light and blinker baulb keep melting and burning.

Both taillight sockets were found burnt. Brand new light bulb was not making sufficient contact in the socket to illuminate (light bulb was not bad). Defect was found when replacing bulbs due to non-functioning rear turn signal.

The contact owns a 2008 Ford Edge. While driving approximately 35 mph, there was an odor of burning plastic emitted through the vent. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, but was not diagnosed. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The approximate failure mileage was 175,180.

Rear turn signal bulb meting.

When theying to accept on a city street the car would not go. Odo error came up. Speedometer wouldn't move at all. Car was turned off and restarted. Wrench light and check engine light came on. Car moves a little bit but did not run normal and clunked hard when put in park. Mechanic says it's a sensor issue that's common in this car.

Heater on driver sidebar blows extremely cold. Luke warm on passenger side. Multiple reports of this.

Vehicle continously fries turn signal lamps. I've replaced 12 of them since we bought it 4 years ago. Every 4-6 months it actually melts the bulb housing and I have to pry it out. If the vehicle catches fire I plan to sue Ford. No pattern to when they burn it. Completely random but I've saved photos of each one.

The contact owns a 2008 Ford Edge. The contact stated that various warning indicators randomly flashed on the instrument panel/cluster. When the accelerator pedal was applied, the rpms raced, but the vehicle was slow to gain speed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and provided no recommended solution. The VIN and failure mileage were not available.

Driver's door ajar light comes on. Making a dining sound continuously, turning interior car lights on, and won't allow doors to lock. But the door is shut. This concerns me with the lights turning on at night, and what if I really do have a door that isn't shut. This can happen as soon as you start the car, or later while driving down the road.

Rear taillights melting in their sockets.

Found the vehicle with a dead battery this morning. Battery is only 1. 5 months old. Jump started the vehicle and then found that while running and doors closed, the door ajar light was on and all dome lights. Checked all doors multiple times, still would not shut off. Tried to lock doors while engine running and since the car believed a door was opened it immediately unlocked all the doors. Not looking forward to traveling with a risk of a dead battery again or on the highway with no ability to lock the doors. Seems Ford has exact same issues with other models. They need to recall the 08s as well.

Left rear tail light burned out check bulb come to find out the socket is burned brown and the socket very crisp falling apart due to over heated socket this should be replaced by Ford. This may cause a fire hazard, take your vehicle to the dealer and have this checked before you have a fire!!! I found this when I checked to see if the turn signal/brake light were working.
