2008 Edge purchased new in 2009. Immediately noted strange suring when accelaerating and braking. Conceerned about transmission. Notified Ford coporate when dealer said vehicle was performing 'normally" so concerned ceased driving on freeway. In sept of 2011, took vehicle to be serviced. They asked that I wait even though I shared ongoing concerns. Vehicle was given to me and told that all was well. At 32000, in Dec. Of 2011 engine light came on. . . Took to dealer who advised me they would need to keep it for some time and engine needed to be removed. 6 days later, I was notified that there was aproblme with the cam phaser and also something with cooling system. Other issues that should be noted is that the battery has been replaced multiple times. The car for no reason has alarm go off. Very much concerned that informaion is being witheld and that this may be a common issue with Edge and perhaps there is a need for a recall. I know nothing more at this point, but will be contacting all safety organizations for more information.

Purchased 2008 Ford Edge limited in August '10. 1 previous owner, 26k, mint condition. Supposedly battery was replaced upon purchase. Within 1 week after purchase up until present date, numerous complaints/comments were placed to 2 different Ford dealerships regarding a 'hiccup' while the vehicle is stationary and idling (random and intermittent). 1 dealership serviced the car end of August and found no problem. 2nd dealership serviced vehicle on October 13 and 14 and couldn't find problem. Vehicle broke down 1st time the day after it had been serviced, October 15th- lost complete acceleration but not battery power. Noticed wrench light and airbag lights were illuminated on dashboard as well as "odo. . . Error". Turned car off and then on and when placed in 'drive', heard a loud noise and car jerked, no acceleration, same situation when car placed in park. Dealership inspected vehicle and stated that battery terminals were completely loose (mechanic never tightened terminals upon replacement of battery and dealership admitted liability/negligence) and 'severely' corroded. Since 1st break down, same hiccup (random, intermittent) is felt and more complaints/comments were placed to both dealerships. Car was scheduled to go back for another service visit for complaint but vehicle broke down for 2nd time prior to service date with dealership. November 19th, vehicle lost acceleration, wrench and airbag lights were illuminated on dashboard and 'odo. . . Error". Attempted to place vehicle in reverse and loud noise was heard, vehicle jerked and when vehicle was placed in park, same noise and jerk. Presently the vehicle is back with the dealership for service.
