Problems with 2008 Ford Edge POWER TRAIN

As everyone else with 08 edge the transmission loses power. entering hwy and press on gas, no pickup just stalls out. reported to energy country ford on 3 different visits, in port arthur, tx and of course they said nothing wrong. also, loud clunk from park to reverse or drive. paint also chips/peels on this cream colored vehicle. have seen other vehicles this color on the road and the paint around door areas peeling. only 65k miles and well maintained. with so many reports of this issue ford surely would recall the 08 edge transmission like they have on the trucks.

Well i bought an 08 ford edge 1 month ago with 400 miles on it. within the last month the veh is shifting really hard into 2nd gear. shop has confirmed problem i am stating is happening but per ford hotline no repairs are to be done until 2500 miles. car needs to learn driving pattern. the problem is it shifts so hard it throws my children back in their seat and goes into the red zone while shifting. my car now has 1,600 miles and still shifting really hard. the veh is now shifting hard into 2nd and 3rd gear. *tr

3 week old sel ford edge, with automatic transmission, rolls back while in the drive gear on any slight incline. nearly hit car in front of me quickly switching to gas pedal from brakes to avoid hitting car behind me on incline in stop & go rush hour traffic. safety issue for driving on slight inclines, in hilly areas, parking on any slight incline, and valet parking. complained to dealer, but dealer says it's normal due to the torque converter selected by ford. *tr

This problem has occurred since first few months of owning it. at times while driving at all speeds the car's power goes away in the sense you might be driving 68 then the car starts to slow down, then slam, there is a loud mechanical slam, and the car feels like you ran it to something metal or solid. it literally shakes the whole car scares the !@#$ out of you. it?s usually on the express way and more when it?s cold. it seems when i?m barely increasing the gas, then letting off a bit, then back on the gas again. the local ford dealer found a bulletin from ford stating that replacing the transmission doesn't fix this problem to wait for further investigation. we have been waiting since 2008. the car runs great other then this problem. this might not happen for weeks then it will happen as many of 3 times in a 5 mile drive. i went on a 2 hour trip this week. it happened twice on the way up and once on the way back. as soon as we take it to the dealer it doesn't happen. i've asked them to keep the car for a week and drive it. that hasn't happened. they keep throwing their hands in the air. i wish it would just lock up so they can find something. i have seen others with the same problems but yet ford hasn't fixed it. *tr

Transmission is bad and has been serviced several times and continues to have problems. *tr

Purchased ford edge new 2008. had problems since beginning. driving low speed it slipped into l, twice. brought car in several times complaining spitting and sputtering, bucking like choking. (i do not have exact date of complaint today but entered approximate- in process of obtaining history ). brought car into ford dealer in albany where i was told bad gas and one time a broken seal but not told where seal was. car now 4 yrs w/ only 65466. miles. always got synthetic oil change for more $ to insure extended coverage on powertrain or so was informed would be the case. i asked, how can i get a 4000 mile extended coverage on the powertrain when i am only to get the oil changed at 5 - 6000 miles, i was told "don't worry about it". oct. 2011 car sputtered and spit after filling tank. i hoped was due to bad gas as told in past, however, this time, the car would only go 30 mph, any faster, car acted like was in neutral. orange wrench light came on, i called ford garage, aaa was towed in. no warranty i am told because i didn't purchase an extended warranty. why did i need it? i was told i would be ok with the synthetic oil changes and extended coverage on the powertrain. in addition, i am being told because only did a transmission flush at 30,000 not 60,000, not covered. we all know car should not need new transmission at 65466 miles regardless. treated car like a child. want nothing else. been w/ ford / now ford/ mazda since 18yrs old, now 52. loyalty gets nowhere. in process of obtaining history all complaints since new to fight no support. all this and the end will result with me having no car and considerable expense and ultimately no more good credit if i throw the keys at them and say keep it ! *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2008 ford edge. while at a stop sign ,the contact attempted to accelerate, but the vehicle began going backwards. in order to get the vehicle to go forward, the contact had to apply one foot on the accelerator pedal, and the other foot on the brake pedal. the vehicle was taken to the dealer and they stated that nothing could be done. the engine size and number of cylinders were unavailable. the current mileage was 314 and failure mileage was 200.
