Problems with 2007 Ford Edge ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Taillight was inoperative, passenger side, along with directional signal. thinking it was a burned out bulb, i removed the tail light connector from the plastic housing. i noticed that the bulb had totally fuzed itself to the connector. while the bulb filaments appear intact, the bulb and connector had generated enough heat to essentially melt the base of the bulb to the connector into one unit. oddly enough, when looking for the cause of why so much heat would be generated, i googled "car tail light connector and bulb melted". surprise surprise, i was directed to the ford edge forum where this seems to be a very common complaint. naturally, i needed to get this fixed quickly and my husband was going to the salvage yard for unrelated parts, so i asked him to see if he could find a connector, since this particular item was common to many, many ford and mercury vehicles. he found t ford focus' that used this connector, and bought them. of note, the two connectors (1 was a "spare") he brought home were both showing signs of discoloration of the plastic on the connector. the forums say ford has negative knowledge of this, but you gotta wonder. don't even get me started on the poor quality of the cheap plastic retainer clip used to keep the wiring harness connected to the connector. i removed four units. all four retainer clips broke or disintegrated. my fear it the potential of a fire hazard and significant electrical failure as this is not a simple bulb replacement. any help would be appreciated. i do have the bulb in question if you need me to send it in.

Driving down the highway at 60mph and suddenly my speedometer and gauges all shut down. just as fast as it went off it came back on again. this seems to be a common occurrence with the ford edge. there is obviously a severe issue with the computer system and something needs fixed before someone gets killed!

When driving down the highway for the 3rd time the traction control light came on and the car just started slowing down. when i turn the car off and back on it goes off, so far it has not come back on or happened happened again. when the happened the second time i got home turned the car off and the wipers came on. not sure if that is related but it is unusual.

We have had 2 ford edges in 3 years both having the same electrical problems. our first edge was a 2008, we had it less than a year when everything went wrong. when it would rain all the dashboard lights would stop working, the speedometer wouldn't work, when driving on the highway going 80mph it would just suddenly quit without warning, it started hesitating, driving rough & loss acceleration. when we took it in to get it repaired we were told it was in the electrical/computer system and would cost at least $2,000.00 to fix and they said even once that was fixed they couldn't guarantee there wouldn't be more wrong with it so we'd be better off to get rid of it. then we bought our 2007 edge that we've had just 2 years and the #5 coil had melted needed replace but after replaced it still was running rough, hesitating not any better. we were told we had to take it to a ford dealer. we were then told it was in the electrical system & would cost at least $2,000.00 if we got lucky and the problem would be actually fixed. we don't have anywhere near the money to get it fixed, we spent all our money buying our second edge after our first one went to hell. there really, really needs to be a recall! something is really screwed up when you buy 2 ford edges within 3 years and they both have the same thing wrong with them! it's ridiculous and something needs to be done now!!

The vehicle was always running kind of rough and shifting kind of hard reverse would not with bang and in gears on the freeway but then the check engine light came on and i took it and had it put on an odb reader it said p0353 ignition coil c so i had that replaced along with the spark plugs all six of them and it did not clear the code driving down the street all of a sudden the battery light came on and the car just died i had it brought to repair shop they put it on the scanner it read ignition coil a b c d e f. so i got an ignition coil pack which consisted of 6 ignition coils and 6 more spark plugs brand new and had those installed and now the car won't start and i checked the fuses several relays are blown and it keeps popping fuses and there's a draw on the battery which i had to remove the battery and buy a new one because my reverse lights just just the reverse lights were on when my car wasn't even on or he was not in the ignition and it was not in any power for any light source position

I bought a 2007 ford edge in july of 2018. less then 2 months later my pcm has gone bad burning up all 6 coil packs in my edge. i have contacted ford and there is a technical service bullentin on the pcm and coil packs, but was told not enough people have reported the issue to put out a recall. i can not afford over $2000.00 to have this fixed. ford is aware that it is a defective part and i dont understand why there is not a recall on it. i was in the middle of 6 lanes of traffic during rush hour and the suv just lost power. i could have been killed. i had no warning or anything the suv just slowly started losing power and check engine light didnt even cut on until after i turned edge off and restarted. this is an issue in need of a recall asap! i have done alot of research and have found that the faulty pcm burns up the coil packs and everyone who is just replacing coils is going to have the same issue again since it is the faulty pcm burning the coils and until the pcm ($835) is replaced they will continue to keep replacing the coils ($80 x 6 =$480.00) none of these prices include labor! also doesnt include the cost to reprogram the new pcm to my keys since if you dont flash the new pcm the edge wont start due to the keys our programmed specifically to the pcm installed to the edge. if you have already paid to have these issue fixed please still call ford when and if they issue a recall (which they need to!) you can submit your receipt and be reimbursed for cost to have it fixed! the pcm pushes to much electricity to the spark plugs in turn burning the coils and could possibly cause the suv to catch fire!!!!! i have not been able to drive my edge in 3 weeks and still owe money on it!

While merging onto the interstate at approximately 45 mph car started shaking and losing acceleration. limped along to next exit in fear of being flattened by interstate traffic. was found to have a melted #5 coil. replaced coil and still shuddering and shaking. #5 melted again, pcm problems. seems to have happened to many others. very dangerous. happened with no warning at 162000 miles. needs a recall

2007 ford edge issues with engine misfiring. i took it to an independent mechanic and i was told at least one coil pack burnt out along with the pcm (power control module) when the misfiring occurred it caused massive shaking to the vehicle which was a huge distraction. this is a significant safety hazard, in 2016, there were over 3,000 vehicular fatalities related to distractions while driving. independent mechanic recommended taking the vehicle to ford dealer for pcm replacement and re-programing. dealer said vehicle was no longer under warranty. vehicle has just over 71,000 miles.

Tail light sockets burnt. melting light bulbs.

My blinker light started blinking really fast and i knew that that indictated that i had a bulb out. i saw that it was the rear left and purchased a new bulb for it. i searched online for how to change the bulb properly and found several videos for how to do it but they all showed that the bulb socket had overheated and was burnt. sure enough, when i opened up mine to change the bulb, the socket that holds the bulb is burnt and the the bulb was partially melted into the socket. i checked other side and it is the same thing. the socket is burnt and charred and the bulb is stuck in it. this is obviously an overheating issue and i'm concerned for the safety of the vehicle.

We have a 2007 ford edge my wife was driving on the freeway, she was approaching her exit when the vehicle shut off completely. thank god she could pull over and after several attempts to start the car again, she succeeded. this happened about 6 months ago. about 3 or 4 months later, she was pulling into a parking lot of a store when the vehicle shut off again without a warning. she got stuck in the middle of the lane blocking all traffic. a few minutes later it started again seemingly without any problem. until two weeks ago, she was driving down the street and the car shut off for the third time. and for the last week, the car has problems starting. it cranks for a few seconds like it has no fuel then starts. today's date 9/3/2018

Had engine coil failure and pcm burnt up causing $1650 in damage repairs. this was unsafe since it happened while my daughter was driving through our town and could have resulted in an accident.

The computer malfunctioned causing engine coils to burn. ford did not extend the warranty for this common defect. but ford did extend the warranty for the subsequent malfunction of the catalytic converter, which was caused by the 1st malfunction described.

Defective power control module on ford from these years causes engine to stall, run poorly and cause electrical problems affecting the steering, brakes and transmission. this extremely common ford defect can create a potentially deadly vehicle control failure at highway speed.

When operating the turn signals in either direction the rear light would not work intermittently at first, and then permanently. upon pulling the rear bulb housing, i noticed the turn signal light socket was burnt in appearance. opon trying to remove the bulbs, one of the retaining tabs on one side broke off. inside the sockets (both sides) were full of whitish corrosion. the main issue here is twofold: if you look online on the ford edge forum, you will see many, many other people have had the exact same issue. secondly, this presents a fire and driving hazard. keep in mind my wife's car does not even have 70,000 miles on it yet and is garage kept. she does not ride the brakes and turn signals are used as often as needed...hazards hardly ever used. i'll have to pay for 2 new sockets and bulbs with no guarantee it won't happen again.

2007 ford edge has ptu leak, the transmission is not shifting properly, the brake light bulbs are constantly blowing and melting in the socket. the brakes sound like they are grinding metal and the cd player decided to quit working too. i have read online of others having all of these exact same problems. the ptu and transmission problems should not be something that the owner should have to pay to have corrected when it is clearly a design flaw from the manufacturer. i am a single mother and still making payments on this car and cannot afford to pay thousands of dollars to have their design flaw repaired!! when in motion the transmission acts as though it doesn't know when to shift. it kind of feels like i am in a manual and haven't changed gears when i am supposed to and if i don't push the clutch in it will stall out. but instead this is an automatic behaving that way and instead of a clutch i have to give it more gas to get it to downshift or it acts like it is going to stall. this is a problem going 20 or below as well as 55 or above, it also feels like the driveshaft is vibrating the whole car when it does this. it started out being intermittent but now it is a daily occurrence, but it is all i have to drive to work so i deal with it. it needs to be recalled!!

My door ajar lamp comes on at random times and when i lock my car for the night, it drains my battery. i have to open and close the door numerous times to get the interior light to go off, but sometimes that doesn't work. once while i was driving on the highway, my door ajar lamp came on and my auto door locks unlocked all the doors. this has been going on now for 2 months and today it happened again.

One morning my ford started running rough.a rough idol. shaking in the body. the check engine light started blinking. i took it to a mechanic that morning to check the computer. the mechanic stated it read as a bank one miss fire.i replaced the bank one coil and spark plug from the mechanic. the car still drove rough.i was on my way to the the dealer the next day, three or four miles away ,when the car shut down on the highway between two busy exits. i lost power and control of the vehicle. thanks to the state police, i was pushed to a safer location.i was towed to the dealer from there.i wasn't told the power-train module needed replacement until after all the coils and spark plugs were replaced two days later.

I was travelling with my wife behind me as and she text my daughter that my passenger tail light was out but the brake light was working. however, when i got home to change the bulb for the millionth time on each side, because i change both and not just one, i went to pull the bulb out of the socket and it was melted into the socket. the bulb was half blackened and charred all around it. i had to pull the entire plugin and then went to the other tail light to do the same and it was also charred black, but not yet melted into the socket. i have found out after tons of research that this is not just one instance. the bulb should have blown or a fuse should have popped. this is a safety hazard and could start a fire. this needs attention time now! the dealerships will not help!

At 60,000 miles transmission slipping. at 92,000 miles not engaging between 3rd and 4th gear. cost to fix $3,000. at 65,000, water leaking front of on passenger side, spraying at times. also fluild leaking on ground. ford fixed. at 62,000 miles, heater went out. at 86,000 a/c went out. cost to repair $2,800. at 84,000 miles ring broke on "boot". cost to repair $350. at 91,000 miles ignition switch replaced. ckeck engine stays on. vehicle "clicks" and then dies. biggest problem is when car will not start when, and when car refuses to get in gear when turning left. *js

I was traveling around 40 mph on a state highway when sputtering and vibration issues started with 2007 ford edge and check engine light came on. still drove vehicle to my mechanic which stated coil burned out and sent surge of power to the pcm. mechanic stated design of pcm wouldn't stop the firing of coil and not to drive vehicle any further or it will burn to the ground. mechanic stated only the ford dealership can install a new one and rest the car to get it running. towed vehicle to ford dealership who stated they have a tsb issued for this problem and they will need to replace the pcm and all 6 coils because they have all melted. ford dealership stated this was an on going problem due to a faulty design of the pcm that when a coil burns out (common wear and tear and $100 to $200 fix) the pcm doesn't stop firing to the coils which could cause the car to catch fire. estimate to fix the pcm and all six coils was $2,958. reason for complaint - i understand wear and tear on a vehicle, but due to a design issue in the ford/mercury/lincoln pcm, it caused extensive damage and repair to the car and potential to burn to the ground. $100 fix with proper design and now $2,958 due to pcm issue. i am requesting this issue to be reviewed for reimbursement by the manufacturer or recall issued. thanks you for your time.

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 ford edge. while driving at approximately 40 mph, the contact felt a loss of pressure on the accelerator pedal and the vehicle shook. the contact had the vehicle diagnosed and was informed that the power control failed and the coil melted. the mechanic stated that the vehicle was not safe to drive. the manufacturer was notified. the approximate failure mileage was 120,000.

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 ford edge. while operating the vehicle, the check engine light suddenly illuminated and the vehicle stalled. the vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the turpin shaft speed sensor and output shaft speed sensor were faulty. the sensors were replaced, but the vehicle later experienced the same failure. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 140,000.

2007 ford edge looses power. speedometer goes to 0. exclamation mark, air bag and tool light comes on. motor revs up to high rpm. i understand this is a sensor issue with this particular vehicle. and it is a very common happening with this vehicle. with the vehicle shutting down without any indication that it is about to happen. this happens at highway speeds as well as in town speeds. i think ford should investigate this issue and issue a recall. thank you *tr

My door sensor has been staying on for a month now which i figured out to be my drivers door. reading up on the ford edge forum online i am not the only one that has this problem. newer models are also having the same problem. what then happens is the inside lights also stay on although they go out after 5-10 minutes. my door also doesn't open with a key even though my fob still works. ford will fix this for anywhere from $350-$450 dollars which seems like a lot for a sensor. i've had cars with door ajar icons before but never had a problem with them staying on for no reason. i'm 58 years old and lost my job to relocation out of the country ( i'm a dislocated worker) and had to find another job which does not pay much. it would cost me a weeks wages to fix this and that is way too much. thanks for your time

I have a 2007 ford edge with very low mileage to date. this is usually my family car, driven by my wife. we live in guatemala and drove to a house on the beach, that is about 100 miles away. on january first when we were returning i started the car and noticed a shake and sputter, and i thought that it was probably a defective spark plug. i managed to drive out of where we were and as soon as we got to the main highway i had to stop and call for a tow. the shaking and sputtering were frightening. the shop i took it to says that at least 3 ignition coils need to be replaced and are not sure if the pcm also has to be replaced. unfortunately, since there are parts stock problem here, i had to wait almost a month to get the parts and now that i have them (the coils) i still have to wait to see what the real problem is. i have contacted the dealer in the region to see what can be done. i had to report this as it is not a unique problem tobuyers in the us, also abroad. *tr

I filed the original complaint (10680995) on february 3rd, but i wanted to edit or update it, but couldn't find the way, so i am taking the liberty to post a new one. it has been 2 and a half months since the incident and as a disgrace it has not been possible for the ford dealer in central america to get the computer module part. can you imagine this amount of time without your vehicle, specially if it is your working tool? the following was my statement in the first report: "i have a 2007 ford edge with very low mileage to date. this is usually my family car, driven by my wife. we live in guatemala and drove to a house on the beach, that is about 100 miles away. on january first when we were returning i started the car and noticed a shake and sputter, and i thought that it was probably a defective spark plug. i managed to drive out of where we were and as soon as we got to the main highway i had to stop and call for a tow. the shaking and sputtering were frightening. the shop i took it to says that at least 3 ignition coils need to be replaced and are not sure if the pcm also has to be replaced. unfortunately, since there are parts stock problem here, i had to wait almost a month to get the parts and now that i have them (the coils) i still have to wait to see what the real problem is. i have contacted the dealer in the region to see what can be done. i had to report this as it is not a unique problem tobuyers in the us, also abroad". so far, i do not know when the part will be available. last friday it was still in backorder in the ford plant, or so they say. i dont know either how much is going to cost, but at this rate i just want to get rid of that piece of junk. i have provided a florida contact as there is no access to other countries. *tr

My car started to drive "rough" and later that day i called the ford dealership to have it serviced. while there were no light indicators off on the dash they said to go ahead and bring it in on monday to be looked at. sunday night while driving the vehicle to the dealership, it just died. again, no lights indicating something was wrong, it had just not been driving smoothly. after having it towed to the dealership, the next day we were contacted to let us know that the vehicle's pcm had shorted and melted the plugs, intake values, coils, battery and catalytic converter. we have always had this vehicle serviced by this dealer and had all of our recommended and / or required service / maintenance performed. which is why it is so vexing that something that is not a serviceable item and has no notification can not only go out but take so many components with them. i of course contacted ford who said that it is not on a recall list and there was nothing they could do for me. i am contacting the nhtsa for their consideration of this item. thank you. *tr

At a stop, the car would not accelerate,loud clunking sound, airbag light turned on. would not move, had to completely turn off car for a few seconds, only moved a few feet before it did again. next day same problem. *tr

while driving on a state highway at approximately 55mph the vehicle began to run very rough, the check engine light came on and the car stalled. i pulled over and restarted the car. it started, ran very roughly and had almost no power. i was in town so i drove to the dealer. the dealer pulled a error codes indicating a failed power control module which led to the failure of three of the six coil on pistons. this is an identified problem with this model year with a tsb in place. ford was covering the cost of failures for vehicles under 80,000 miles. my vehicle, with 97,000 miles did not qualify. ford should recall these units. it is a known problem and could lead to engine shutdown at highway speed. it cost $2,097 for repair. to be fair, the price included replacing the spark plugs since they were coming due so the true cost of the repair was about $1,950. the pcm was a bad design prone to failure and ford should attempt to make it right with customers. i called the ford customer service center and they offered no relief, except to document by displeasure. *tr

2007 ford edge sel factory stereo system electrical system shorted out and killed battery. tried to start car and battery was dead tried to jump and was not able, put new battery on vehicle and the factory stereo system started smoking and my now deceased husband had to quickly pull put the stereo system and off the new battery. the eye to system shorted out and fried the battery burnt the wiring and started to catch fire when replaced battery. now have new battery on vehicle and no factory stereo system just a hole to the engine compartment in the dash because of the defect of factory issues. please help.

Tail light plugs on both sides were burned/ melted needs replaced. *tr

I was driving my 2007 ford edge with 3 children in it when all of a sudden i lost the ability to not only accelerate but my speed suddenly fell from 45 miles an hour to 15 miles an hour without any ability to accelerate. my car was in a constant state of shaking and sputtering and increased when applying the brakes. there was something significantly wrong and it was pretty scary to experience particularly with 3 small children. i had the car towed to my automotive service company where the car's software system displayed codes indicating two ignition codes failed. subsequently, the service provider replaced all the spark plugs and two coils. the car was not fixed and it was further determined that the pcm board is sending extremely high current to the ignition coils and could have caused an engine fire. this is very distressing. ford has issued an internal tsb acknowledging this issue but has not enacted a recall. the estimated cost to replace the pcm, spark plugs and coils (6) is approximately $3,000. additionally in my research there is a class action lawsuit that has been filed by a group of ford owners. *tr

Car is skipping or jerking when going up hills. happens multiple times when car is moving up hills. most likely transmission problem or sensor problem. *tr
