Noises During Shifting Problems of Ford Edge

Hard, clunking noise/vibration/impact when starting vehicle, shifting from park to reverse, reverse to park, reverse to drive, drive to reverse, park to drive, and drive to park. Transmission shifts violently. Lose speed at highway speed. Odometer and speedometer go blank, no display. Loss of power and speed. Huge safety hazard. So many complaints online found within 10 minutes of search.

Tl the contact owns a 2008 Ford Edge. While operating the vehicle, a clunking noise was present when shifting gears and the vehicle hesitated while accelerating. On several occasions, the check engine indicator illuminated during the failures. After turning the vehicle off and back on, the failure would sometimes be corrected. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who was unable to determine the cause of the failures. The manufacturer and local dealer were not notified. The failure mileage was 85,000.

Going 55 mph. All of a sudden car lose power. Engine sounds like it's in neutral but shift lever is in d. If you press gas, engine speed shows on the tach but transmission not responding. Made a very harrowing condition as I tried to find a safe place to pull over. When shifted from d to p, very hard jerking motion that shook the car violently, trans makes a very hard clunking noise, and as if wants to separate from the engine. Same result when shifted from p to r, and p to d. Car is currently parked waiting for mechanic to diagnose. Don't have money to take it to overpriced dealer. From what I can see from blogs, forums, boards, etc, on the internet looks like not an isolated case.

In recent weeks, car at times seemed to slip slightly while shifting or there was a hard, lagging shift. While driving on highway, speedometer stopped working, info/trip readout on dash showed dashes instead of numbers. After a few minutes, multiple warning lights showed on dash, including passenger airbag light, a wrench icon, then the low tire pressure warning icon. Readout then changed to a tire pressure fault message. Pulled off the highway and after making a turn, car seemed under-powered/acceleration was compromised. Stopped at a service station, turned off the car, then restarted. After restarting, warning icons on dash disappeared. When car was shifted into reverse, car jerked violently and loud 'clunking' noise occurred. Shifting in and out of reverse, while the car was still stationary, jerking became even more pronounced and clunking noise became louder. Had the car towed to Ford dealer - after diagnosis, was told 2 sensors (the tss & oss) in the transmission were faulty and needed to be replaced. Additionally, was told fan module was also faulty, needed replacing. Approximately $1700 in repairs and was without the car for over a week. After researching issue online, came across many people experiencing the same exact problem in Ford Edges, almost always around the same mileage (approx. 77,800) and for various years. This should be a recall! to be honest, though the car is operating normally at the moment, I have little to no confidence that this sensor repair actually fixes the problem long term as some anecdotal research seems to show that others have experienced a return of the issue even after the sensor replacement. I believe this situation warrants investigation by NHTSA as Ford will deny/ignore the problem until forced to address it. Too many people have this same issue and not only is it costly, but could be very dangerous as well.

2008 Ford Edge sel. . . . With 6f50 transmission. . . . 165000 miles. . . . Vehicle shifts externally hard from 3rd to 4th gear with a hard jerk and load klunk, so much so that it has started causing me neck problems from tensing up in anticipation of the jerk. Also 2 twice up going from park to drive, had an extremly load noise in transmission that shook the entire vehicle and as I attempted to accelerate the rpm rose but the car barely eased forward and the transmission sounded as though it were in a bind. I then put it in park, turned the ignition off, pulled out the key, open and shut the door as to pretend I was exiting, then put key back into ignition, started the car, put it in gear (no problem) and accelerated as normal (no problem), except when it shifted from 3rd to 4th which is around 25mph. I have not and do not have any lights on in the instrument display panel nor do I have any error codes showing. Macanic says it would be an expensive shot in the dark to start randomly changing out sensors and changing out transmission would not solve the problem as it is not an issue with the mechanics of the transmission but an electrical issue. I've also tried a hard reboot to the cars electrical system to possibly clear any stored electrical issues, problem still exists!!! definitely a recall needed, due to safety issues while driving and physical conditions that could arise from the tensing up in expectation of the hard jerk. . . . . .

Sometimes the transmission will not drive the car after a stop or if changing from drive to reverse or reverse to drive. Rpm will go very high and only move the car very slowly. At other times there will be a bad shift or a strange sound. This can happen any time, when first starting out for the day, after running for a time, after a long drive or after stopping for a turn, red light, stop sign or just slowing down. The dealer says there is nothing wrong. Also noise coming from the rear while in motion. I believe the sensors are intermittent as I had a similar problem with my Dodge caravan which went away after I replaced the sensors myself because the repair station told me there was nothing wrong after 3 attempts to have the problem rectified. You are all supposed to be professional experts so fix the problem.

I was driving down the highway when my speedometer and odometer stopped working. Then it told me I had a error and a fault in my tire pressure system. My airbag light came on, indicating that it was off. I pulled over and turned off the vehicle. When I started it back up all the error messages cleared, but when I went to put my car into drive it sounded as if the transmission had dropped. I tried driving only to rev the engine up to 3000 rpm with barely any movement. When ever shifting from drive or reverse it made that loud popping noise. I took it to a dealership to be told it stopped doing it but they didn't fix it. They made no repairs. They are letting me pick the car up and drive it again with out any actual resolution, but they did charge me money to "look at the car". Do people actually have to die for someone to issue a recall? I am reading thousands of reviews about the Edge that experience's the same problems. Lets issue a recall and develop some accountability!.

Vehicle developed a clanking / clunking sound. Felt like it was dragging something very heavy, automatic transmission shift points seemed to be delayed and shifting to a higher gear happened at a very high rpm. Stopped vehicle and turned it off. Noises went away after restarting, but acceleration was very sluggish and it didn't shift to a higher gear until a very high rpm, the gas pedal had to be pushed to the floor. Took it to a repair shop and it was test driven and put on the lift. Checked for any malfunction codes. The mechanic could find nothing wrong. This has happened twice.

2007 Ford Edge has been shifting gears heavy (especially low) and getting worse. Last week it should have down shifted to 2nd but instead up shifted to like 4 or 5th gear and I lost any real power to get up the hill. The noise itself was a very noticeable bang and shudder. This is apparently happening to other because there's youtube videos of the exact same thing.

This occurred multiple times with my Ford Edge. I will be driving a highway speeds, and on the dashboard: 1. The odometer turns from numbers to dashes 2. The speedometer stops working 3. Various services lights will turn on (each time it happened, different lights came on) then,I brake to a full stop, the car loses all throttle, and I'm barely able to accelerate. When I go to shift gears, there is a harsh, clunking noise in the transmission as I'm shifting. I was told this was a defect in the speed sensors but it occurred a total of 4 times in about 8 months. I had to trade the car in because it was becoming too unsafe to drive.

When travelling, all of a sudden the speedometer goes to 0, the maint'ce wrench lights up and we get an led message that I cant recall exactly at the moment. The vehicle can continue until you stop. Then it cannot proceed forward. Once you stop and shift to park, then try to proceed again, there is a loud clunking noise from the transmission, and the vehicle cant move forward. I believe it is getting stuck in 5th or overdrive. When a code reader is attached by a mechanic, the code it calls out is for the output speed sensor (in the transmission). Once the code is cleared the vehicle can perform normally. We had the oss replaced by a reputable transmission shop, and it was fine for a month or so. Now again we have seen the problem twice since replacing the oss. There seem to be many complaints on the internet regarding this exact problem. . Read more...

The contact owns a 2007 Ford Edge. The contact stated while driving 20 mph, the vehicle lost power. The contact stated that it felt as if she was driving in neutral. While shifting gears, she heard a loud noise coming for under the hood. In addition, all of the warning lights illuminated on the instrument panel. The contact was able to drive the vehicle home and once the vehicle was shut off and restarted, the vehicle resumed normal operation. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the dealer advised that they could not diagnose a failure with the vehicle. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 35,000 and the current mileage was 36,000.

My Forde Edge 2010 has has issues with the transmission. The car now has 76,000 miles but about every 20,000 miles I have a violent transmission shift. It is either the transmission or the all wheel drive controls. The car will be going along and all of a sudden there is a loud noise and jerking back and forth for about 3 seconds. It sounds like the tranny is falling out or has rocks in it. I took it to Ford many times and they acknowledge there is a problem but all they do is update the software ( and charge me). They keep saying there is a fix for the issue in the software but it doesn't fix the issue. They gave me an extended warranty but it doesn't matter because they don't care to find the problem. I asked why they don't pull the tranny pan in look for loose metal or issues and they said they have to charge me. The dealer told me they have to pay there own guys to look for the problem and they don't get reimbursed by Ford for this so they arent going to do anything except put a recorder on my car for 30 days again. I told them it is intermittent. They offered to sell me a new car or find another Edge with 76,000 and put me in that. I told them I didn't want to spend money on another car because I just spent 34,000 on this one and giving me another Edge the same age I have no clue what problems I could have with that. In other words Ford isn't worried about my issue until someone gets hurt. The warranty doesn't mean a thing to them. If it causes an accident I will sue them for everything for selling me a defective car and not standing behind it.

I have a 2007 Ford Edge. I have had brake problems ever since I bought it. By brake problems, I mean they sometimes grind and sometimes feel like I can't stop as well as I should be able to. I had them checked several times and was told they were fine. I finally had them replaced but they still grind at times. I've learned to deal with this problem. I've also experienced a loud roaring noise. I'm not sure what this is but I've also learned to deal with it as well. Everytime someone rides with me they ask what the noise is and tell me it sounds like my car has not shifted into the right gear. The major problem I have dealt with is the jerking transmission. It started this about a year after buying it. It started doing it a few times here and there until it got to where it did it all the time. I had mentioned it when I took my car to get the oil changed but they always told me they didn't find anything wrong. I finally told them they had to do something. They kept it for a few days and finally called and said the valve body needed to be replaced. Luckily it was still under warranty. They replaced it and it was fine up until several months ago. It started the jerking all over again. It started out slow but now does it all the time. I can't afford to have it fixed again as it's not under warranty any longer. It's still only 4 years old and should not be having all of these problems. I am really surprised there have been no recalls as I've read of other people having the same problems. I am very upset as I still owe on this vehicle but really wish I could get rid of it. I have never had so many problems with a vehicle. . . . Even a car I bought that was four years old. . . . . It was a Toyota. . . . Guess I should have never went to a Ford!.

Power train: transmission. I have a Ford Edge built on 01/04/07. Purchased on April 01,2007 about 30 days after that about once a week after sitting all night upon leaving the house the transmission starts out smoothly but as I step on the gas the transmission has a sudden surge and makes a loud 'bang" and down shifts causing a sudden down turn in speed. Then it just goes away and is fine for several days . Lately this occurring more and more(about every four days at the moment. Unusual thing is it only occurs in the morning start up. When I took into the dealer they found a notice put out by Ford stating that cars built in between December 15,2006 and January 10,2007 have a problem of shifting from fouth to first in start up. But Ford states that without the computer noting this one specific code they will not replace the transmission. I am in great fear that if this starts more often in the regular daytime driving I will never know if I can moderately pick up speed anytime or will the car downshift in common traffic and the possibilities of being struck from behind or broadsided. This is a very serious defect that needs immediate attention. When this occurs the noise alone is frightening. Even though you have it in your mind it could happen it always scares you.
