Turn Signal problems of the 2008 Ford Edge

The driver side brake/turn signal stopped working on 10/10/19 and when I removed the taillight the socket was melted together with the light assembly wish I had a hard time taking it apart, I called Ford service department and they said there was nothing they can do about unless I pay to fix it, the car parts shouldn't melt that is why the vehicle is equipped with fuses to burn out before the vehicle catches on fire. The print on the melted part number 2u5a 13411-08 080651109.

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.

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.

Left turn signal light socket keeps burning out bulbs. Last one melted some of the bulb. Socket is burned and blacken. This has happened 3 tones in 6 months.

Rear turn signal and brake light overheated and started to melt the bulb and connectors.

The left rear turn signal stopped working. After searching online I discovered it was a commonly reported problem. Upon removing the lens assembly I noticed the same thing others are reporting. The plastic base of the bulb is melted. The bulb is still good however. The bulb socket is charred obviously from excessive heat. Nothing else including the rubber gasket around the socket seems to have been affected by this heat.

Right brake light and turn signal keep blowing and look burnt.

Right rear turn signal was not working. When I went to replace the bulb, I noticed the base of the bulb had melted, the socket was slightly deformed and discolored with soot. I checked online and found several hundred postings of the same problem with Ford Edge cars from many different model years. Curious how many it takes for a recall.

Making a left turn using my turn signal, the turn signal lamp on the dashboard started to flash very rapidly. I recognized this as a burned-out lamp. After stopping I checked to find the left rear lamp was not blinking. The basic running light worked however. Upon removing the assembly, I found the lamp socket partially melted and charred. I removed the lamp, which tested out to be good. The socket had failed. I then removed the right-hand rear lamp assembly and found that it has been very hot as was somewhat charred. I will replace both.

Drivers rear turn signal melted . Bulb burnt.

Rear drivers side turn signal lamp went out, when I went to replace bulb I noticed rear tail lamp turn signal-parking lamp sockets are burnt and would seem to be a possible fire hazard, other people have complained about other Ford vehicles with the same condition. But Ford doesn't seem to think there is a problem.

When replacing my left rear signal light I noticed that the base of the turn signal bulb was melted. I removed the bulb and replaced with a new one and the turn signal worked fine. Even though the right rear signal light was working, I went to replace it as well and noticed that it too had a melted bulb base.

Melted rear turn signal socket. It is the second time I have to change the light bulb and socket. This is dangerous!.

I noticed at a stop light, when making a left turn, the inside indicator was blinking fast, telling me I had an issue. Once home, I checked my turn signals, driver side was not working at all. Had my son change the bulb and found the plastic at the base of the bulb was severely melted. The socket was darkened but still in working order, replaced the bulb and is working for now. Went to Ford dealer that I bought the vehicle from and they said they knew nothing about this issue with other Edge's. (what ever !) I wanted them to look and the socket and harness but they wanted $98. 00 just to "check it out". And of course, I'm out of the 30 month / 36k warranty. Good thing I carry full coverage, because if the car burns to the ground, you can bet I won't be buying another Ford.

I have a 2008 Edge with 18,000 miles on it. One week ago my left turn signal stopped working. On investigation I discovered the socket holding the bulb had melted. With 13 days left on the warranty I took it to Ford, they replaced it and the bulb. When I got home I check the right turn signal, same thing, socket was burned worse. They are replacing this today as they did not have another socket in stock. I am going to take a picture of this.

Burnt out turn signal bulb. Upon installation of new bulb I found the socket to be melted on both sides. Took car into Ford dealership where they replaced the sockets and inserted new bulbs. A few months later another burnt bulb with discolored sockets. Changed bulb again. Now I'm up to about 6 bulb changes with 4 being done by the dealer.
