This dealership is a scam, my car isn't even safe to drive because the (psm) needs to be replaced and none of the modules are communicating but somehow they passed the inspection. I bought this car as is 2/24/26 and 2 days later it started overheating. I took to big al's like they recommended and big al's replaced the coolant assembly the car was still overheating so big al's recommended the electrical shop and I took it to them. Tidewater auto electric didn't find any electrical problems. So I took it to dave's tire and auto center and they said the psm needs to be replaced and all of the module because they are no longer communicating with each other. That's not safe and yet carland sold it to me anyway.
Car stalls in the midfle of driving.
Without warning while driving my vehicle loses the ability to excelerate. I am lucky I haven't been hit by another car. I patiently wait and after a few seconds it will move forward into the turn. I do not get a reading or warning lights of any kind. This has just started happening and it has occurred 4 x this week. I have an appointment to have it serviced. After reading countless on-line reports it sounds like it is a throttle body assembly or switch issue. Sometimes it drives perfectly. . . I am concerned about this safety issue. My Edge is older, but only has 56,000. Miles on it. I suspect that I am still covered on the extended warranty since my vehicle has lower mileage.
When the car is at a complete stop or at low speed and then you start to drive again or pick up speed (at a stop light or in a traffic jam) the car will jerk even when coasting and it will not pick up speed. It almost sounds like a belt is unwinding but it isn't. If I pull the car over, turn it completely off and wait a minute or two, it starts up again and drives with no problem. This happens several times a week. It also has a burning smell but no smoke is visible and nothing on the dashboard shows any indication of overheating engine. I've read online that this exact issue was found in newer models of the Ford Edge. No check engine light. Definitely a transmission issue as found in other newer models. This is a very dangerous issue and needs to be recalled.
I just submitted a complaint about the transmission system. It doesn't want to drive or speed up in slow traffic or when I'm trying to drive again after stopping. Upon a search, I came across a lot of complaints concerning the Ford Edge transmission and I screenshot a complaint from another Ford Edge owner that describes my ongoing issue exactly as it happens to me. The Edge has a whole lot of transmission issues and on this particular site the complaints cover Edge 2007 through 2012. The transmission definitely needs to be recalled.
Sudden and total loss of power while driving vehicle in traffic. There was warning, no engine light and there are no codes to diagnose. This is a life-threatening hazard and should be addressed and not dismissed by Ford. Some say it could be several solutions to the problem but the main solution has been the throttle position switch and throttle body assembly. This is a manufacturing issue and should be consider a recall fix with no cost to the owner.

My Edge you have to put it in park after you start driving it to get it to go. Then it will drive ok for awhile then you have to do it again. I'm afraid that I'm going to get rear ended and get hurt. Im driving in town when this happened.

The power takeoff unit needed to be replaced. Based on other forums this seems to be a common issue with this vehicle.
The contact owns a 2009 Ford Edge. While stopped at a traffic stop, the contact depressed the accelerator pedal and the engine rpms increased drastically, but the vehicle was hesitant to accelerate. The vehicle suddenly jerked forward without warning. The vehicle was taken to the dealer twice but the technicians were unable to diagnose the failure. The failure recurred four times intermittently. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 20,000.
The problem surfaced more recently over the last 5 to 6 thousand miles (current mileage 36,550) and is progressively getting worse. Manifestation: on a reasonable incline, where most other vehicles I have tested do not roll back between the time the driver shifts the right off the brake pedal and on to the accelerator while the gear is in "d" mode, the Ford Edge will roll back. Depending on the situation whether there is on coming cross traffic or not, one can depress the accelerator further and the car tends to slightly "shoot" forward. If there is cross traffic (vehicular or pedestrian) one must shift the foot back to the brake again very quickly, or else the car will roll back and hit whatever is behind. The roll back can, if allowed, continue for several feet depending upon the gradient. The dealer claims this issue to be normal for this transmission and has no fix for it.
