On average, the 2008 Ford Edge starts to “feel” problems with the VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL and its various aspects after 99 520 miles.

Recently reported VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL problems on 2008 Ford Edge

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 on the highway suddenly speedometer/odometer stopped working, low tire pressure light came on and car acceleration dropped and it wouldn't respond to increased pressure on gas pedal. car would not accelerate. had to get off the highway. car would only travel at a very low speed. made my way to a parking lot and shut the car off. shifting into any gear (reverse, drive etc.) caused the car to jump/shake and make a loud noise. after a while it resolved itself. took the car to a ford dealership. they checked it out, could find no issue (incidental finding - car needed battery). battery was replaced, picked up car and resumed driving the car. within a week was driving on the highway (second time since picking the car up) and had the same thing happen. driving on highway and suddenly see the speedometer/odometer stop working, low tire pressure light and lose ability to control acceleration of vehicle. had to get off the highway, car wouldn't travel at anything other than very low speed, jerked when shifted etc. this has happened twice and when looking it up ...

On my drive to work i noticed my tire pressure light was on. on my way home from work something extremely scary happened. two additional lights appeared, one was the wrench symbol and the other was tire sensor fault which was not the biggest issue. the bigger scarier issue was that while going 65 mph in busy traffic my speed odometer stopped working. i spoke to someone at ford and expressed my fear of this safety issue. they recommended reporting it. if anyone else has this serious issue please report it.

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.

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.

While driving out of a driveway onto a highway, my vehicle went limp and i had to pull over. as i was putting it into park, it gave out a loud noise. i waited for a few minutes and turned the ignition back on and proceeded to drive off and the car stalled again. i turned the car off and now afraid to drive it. i'm having it towed to my house where it will stay parked until i can have it looked at. hopefully, i won't have to trade it in. with all the complaints about the for vehicles, i will not purchase a ford ever again.

Will be driving and loud thump then car will not change gears. have to pull off road turn car off and let sit for awhile. restart car and wrench goes away and car will go. this is a very dangerous situation as have been on freeway when problem occurs. there should be recall on this ptoblem.

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 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.

Vehicle will act like it ' jumps' and the wrench light will come on. vehicle will decelerate if i don't pull over immediately causing me to come to a stop. speedometer doesn't work while this is happening. cant accelerate once stopped. has to turn vehicle off to reset the computer and the wrench light will go off for a period of time until it decides to happen again. very dangerous situation if on the highway and can't get out of the way of other cars to cut the vehicle off. happens a few times a month.

When driving my car loses power and wrench light came on. bought it to ford dealer was told it's my throttle body. i see this is not a isolated case.

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 ford edge. while driving 70 mph, the check engine and air bag warning indicators illuminated. also, the odometer became inoperable and the vehicle failed to maintain forward momentum. the vehicle was safely guided off of the roadway, the ignition was placed in the off position, and the vehicle was restarted; however, it failed to accelerate. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. krause family ford of woodstock (located at 195 woodstock pkwy, woodstock, ga 30188, (770) 592-8873) and the manufacturer were contacted. the approximate failure mileage was 159,000. *tt vehicle was repaired.*jb

When pulling into a parking space at very slow speed and my foot on the brake, the engine will suddenly increase in speed. this is an intermittent problem, it first happened once about 2 years ago and didn't happen again until about 4 weeks ago now it occurs at least once a week. it's not floor mats or anything else on the gas pedal ! so far no damage or injuries because i shut off the engine.when i restart, all seems normal until it happens again later on. also note that "when did this happen?" answer is the latest date it happened
