Problems with 2008 Ford Edge POWER TRAIN

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"!

When driving the vehicle it loses the ability to accelerate and only allows me to try to pull off the road to a safe place with the momentum of the vehicle before it lost power. if i am not at a place where i can immediately pull off safely i am stranded in traffic. when this occurs i am able to turn off my vehicle for a short period of time and when i restart it, the vehicle resumes normal operation until this happens again. it has happened in various weather conditions and at various speeds. when the acceleration is lost the powertrain fault light comes on.

Start engine, move transmission into reverse, transmission clunks loudly. when transmission is moved to drive, engine revs high, barely moves forward, speedometer stuck at zero despite moving up to 20mph. engine light comes on, airbag light comes on.

Driving down the road and the wrench light comes on, speedometer stops working and the vehicle loses power. i can also smell a burning smell. once i have come to a stop, the transmission shifts very hard like someone has hit the vehicle. this has happened several times, including a couple of times when i pulled into traffic and the vehicle lost power, coming very close to causing an accident with oncoming traffic. very dangerous and i am very apprehensive about driving the car due to my family's safety.

Takata recall i was driving my child to school in highway traffic, speeds of 55 mph. the car mileage indicators went blank, a wrench light came on and all power to car was lost during turning a curve on highway.vehicle started making very loud popping noise and jerking the car. turned car off after coming to a stop, restarted car, no warning lights, everything was normal except, when starting car, it made very loud noise as it was started, then as i placed in drive or reverse it moved the vehicle jerking an loud popping noise. the entire motor moved sideways when placed in gear an hood up. also now it no longer works in low gear. once placed on machine it gave code po720-722

2008 ford edge while driving on city streets all of a sudden the wrench light came on, airbag light, the mileage odometer blanked out and the speedometer stopped working there was a loss of power. the transmission makes a huge clunking sound and jerks into gear shifting into drive from park and reverse

While normally driving, the "wrench" light will come on and the vehicle goes into a low-power "limp mode". so i pull over immediately, and put the vehicle in park, shut it off, and remove the key. i sit with it powered off for about a 10 second count, and restart the engine. the wrench light goes off, and i can drive normally until it happens again.

Vehicle in motion on city road when vehicle all of a sudden makes loud/hard clank noise and immediately loses power - almost like it started towing a trailer! loss of power, wrench light, tps light, airbag light all come on, speedometer stops working. pulled over, loud/hard clank sound with every gear change p-2. vehicle had displayed no issues prior to this. dropped vehicle off at mechanic, when he looked at it next morning, vehicle is running perfect. today is a friday, i was supposed to go out of town (via i75) but i am going to stay local as it does not feel safe to drive on the highway. i am greatly concerned about what appears to be a huge safety issue with this car. all you have to do is search - there are multiple complaints about the same issue to be found all over the internet with no fixes known. ford needs to issue a recall and fix this asap before someone gets seriously hurt or is killed from the extreme loss of power the vehicle is suffering from when this happens.

Driving, going up a hill, the car stopped accelerating and lost power going up. i almost got into an accident. the car doesn't accelerate and it has all the fluids and changed of oils. the car clunks and has a wrench. when i put into reverse it jump a very minimum acceleration. i'm afraid to drive it. i had to tow the car. the mechanic couldn't find the problem. he said he cleared up the computer and it was fine. then i was driving on the highway and it happened again. no acceleration. why ford hasn't made this into a safety recall. i did my investigation and i believe it has to do with the transmission sensors. please help me.

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.

On 4/26/19 the ford edge was setting in park letting my sisters get out the ford edge was put in drive it would not move put it in reverse it would not move, turn it off and on again it started to work fine.i do not what is going on it

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.

While driving in the city it jump from first to second gear with a hard boom. driving on the highway while going up a hill jump out of gear and will not pull i pull over to the shoulder. to get the car to function again i have to turn the ford edge off turn it back on this is not good. what can be done to fix the problem. *tr

I was driving in a city street and my car suddenly had very decreased power and the wrench light came on. i drove until i found a place to safely pull over to the side of the road. when i turn the car off and back on the light turns off.
