I had the lift gate open loading groceries and it all of a sudden released and came down and striking my head and neck and i quickly pushed it back up and it just dropped down again before i could get myself clear striking me again, it got my neck and shoulder. i took it to dealership and was first was told it was a problem for the body shop, but they quickly determined it was an electrical problem. the lift gate is very heavy and i do have to see a doctor for the persistent pain in the neck and shoulder. the vehicle was stationary in the parking lot of the grocery store.there wasn't a vehicle accident but i did receive an injury to my neck and shoulder, extent to be determined.*dt consumer stated when driving vehicle starts to shake. vehicle was taken to the dealer, pcm melted two igniton coils and new computer replaced.*jb
Battery light stayed on during a 4.5 hour trip. after reaching the end of the trip, the battery cables were found to be corroded. noticed theterminal protector has melted. used distilled water to fill the acid level in the battery, some was spilled on the positive battery cable connection(from battery to power of underhood fuse box), it sizzled from being hot! after filling the battery, the batt. light stayed off for another 3 hours of trip, and lit up again. had the battery tested, battery was found to be defective. r&r the battery, battery light is on again. no driveability issues, just concerned about, what is causing resistance in electrical charging system, and possible "fire"!
I bought a used 2008 ford edge, tail light bulb was burnt out soon after i bought it. went to change the bulb and discovered the socket was burnt up and melted. checked the other side and had the same issue! this could definitely be a fire hazard! googled the problem and found everyone complaining about the same issue!
I recently bought used 2008 ford edge. my tail light went out and when i went to change the bulb, i discovered the bulb and the whole socket to be burnt and melted. i took to google and found everyone complaining about the same issue!! this could definitely be a fire hazard, it has me worried with 2 kids in my car!!
I was driving down the road and the truck lost all power. the only choice i had was to steer the wheel to a safe position on the side of the road. when the happened the doors were locked windows were closed shut i was almost unable to get of the truck safely. also i was driving down the road after get a new set of tires and the truck began to make a scrubbing sound as if the wheels was grinding against something nothing was there. i remember a recall on the wheel hub and i have had the truck for about 2 years and i don't recall getting the problem repaired but my vin returns back no active recalls and i can not help but wonder if there is an error.
I own a 2008 ford edge limited i am having the same problem as some people on here are with the wrench 🔧 light also a air bag light comes on and i have almost had an accident because the car speedometer stops working and the car shifts super hard it seems to be happening more frequently i did my research on fords website for finding out the problem and it's a glitch this is a huge safety concern when trying to avoid an accident from occurring also you can't even view the speed i think this should be investigated and recalled because i it can create a unsafe environment to not only my vehicle but others as well.
Vehicle initially would not accelerate beyond 10 mph then completely lost power in the middle of rush hour traffic. local repair center reported issues with pcm and was unable to fix it. sent it to a ford dealer who confirmed issues with pcm that damaged the body throttle, 3 engine coils, and other parts. had to replace pcm and parts damaged by it resulting in a $2894.10 repair bill. the following day after repair, was again in the middle of rush hour traffic and the vehicle completely loss power again. this is a serious safety concern and based on research, a lot of people are experiencing the same thing. ford need to recall this issue. i'm so thankful my child was not in the vehicle during these events.
Both the rear tail/stop light bulb sockets melt from extreme bulb heat. this issue is posted by others all over the internet. this is a potential fire hazard that seriously needs addressing by ford. in the past i replaced the right rear bulb which is when i discovered the issue. yesterday i had to replace the left rear bulb and discoverd that socket too is melted along with the base of the bulb itself.
While driving down the road, the odometer suddenly drops to zero while still moving at the posted speed limit. the wrench symbol warning light in the dash comes on, as well as the airbag light. the mileage is then cleared, and the dash reads "odo error". pulled over, turned off the vehicle and removed the key from the ignition. go to turn the vehicle back on, car starts normally, all the warning lights are cleared. put the vehicle into reverse, and hear and feel a loud "clunk" as the vehicle shifts, and am able to back up normally. when shifting back into drive, the rpms jump up, the car shifts and makes the loud "clunk", and when pushing the accelerator, the vehicle barely moves. it will occasionally come back and the vehicle will return to it's normal running state, but then it will eventually returned to the defective state. no odometer while driving, no power if you stop leaving you stranded.
Dash board lights completely out. when car is in drive rpm not appearing also gauges not working. compass data error appears up with red battery symbol
Right rear tail lamp is burnt and turn signal no longer works. i've noted many instances of this occurring on line. there should be a safety recall as this has a fire potential.
Right wheel well vibrates when i turn and drive over50 miles hour transmission jerks like its not engaging to next gear from a stop or when driving under mph back left brake light burns out every other day . brakes are sqeeling and sound like metal scraping but no indicator has come on for the abs to to be replace must module not working correctly cause mot coding anything with tranny jerking either ford edge is peice of (xxxx) i never by american again
My turn signal bulb socket fries repeatedly. this will be the fourth time in 2 years replacing it. it burns up the socket and melts the bottom of the light bulb. i got the parts from ford dealership also but i have read online any people having issues with it. it just goes out all of a sudden.
Noticed the r/h brake light was out. went to change the bulb and found the socket is burned and chard. i removed the l/h signal light and found the exact same situation. this is a serious fire hazard and a quick on-line search found multiple similar situations. a coworker of mine with exact same vehicle had the exact same thing happen.
