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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.
