Owner-Reported Issues (20 of 987)
Engine →1 issue
While driving at 45 mph with your daughter, you noticed black smoke coming from the driver and passenger side vents with no warning light on the dashboard. After you and your daughter exited the vehicle, the car caught fire and exploded with flames coming from the engine. The fire department extinguished the fire, but the vehicle was destroyed. The issue likely stems from an engine or fuel system malfunction that caused overheating and ignition.

Power Train,service Brakes →1 issue
Your brakes suddenly started making a loud hissing noise and nearly failed to stop the vehicle, almost causing an accident at an intersection with no warning beforehand. The dealership identified that your power brake booster, hydraulic control unit, and master cylinder all need replacement. Additionally, your transmission shakes when climbing hills or driving on the interstate without any warning lights. These issues likely require replacing the brake booster assembly and transmission components, or having them professionally inspected and repaired.

Unknown Or Other,engine →1 issue
Shortly after purchasing your 2007 Ford Edge, multiple warning lights appeared (tire pressure, battery, and check engine), then disappeared when you turned off the car. Two days later, the car failed to start and wouldn't restart for several hours. While driving, white smoke came from the rear of the vehicle, and you noticed oil leaking out. The engine eventually died completely on the road and wouldn't restart, with all the oil having drained from the engine due to a hole in the engine block. The repair will likely require engine replacement or a complete engine rebuild.

Electrical System,fuel/propulsion System →1 issue
Your accelerator pedal suddenly collapsed to the floor while you were driving, though the engine kept running and a wrench warning appeared on your dashboard. After towing to a service station, the pedal worked normally again, but two separate diagnostic procedures—including one at a Ford dealership—found no error codes or problems. The issue may involve the electronic throttle control system or pedal position sensor, which may need inspection or replacement to ensure the problem doesn't happen again.

Engine,fuel/propulsion System →1 issue
Your engine is misfiring (error code P0301) and your fuel injector isn't working properly (error code P0201). You've had accidents related to these issues and believe Ford should recall these parts. The complaint suggests that spark plugs and fuel injectors on 2007 Ford Edges may need replacement to prevent future safety problems.

Suspension,service Brakes,engine →1 issue
Your alternator is drawing too much electrical power and draining your new batteries, which causes your digital dashboard to shut off and triggers false warning lights for brake system and suspension failures. Your transmission jerks when shifting despite having full fluid levels, and you're concerned about a recall that was supposed to be completed but apparently wasn't. Because of the electrical drain risk and unaddressed recall, you're worried about potential fire and safety issues, especially with grandchildren regularly riding in the vehicle. The fix will likely involve a full electrical system diagnostic to test the alternator output, inspection of the transmission for internal issues, and completion of any outstanding recalls.

Fuel/propulsion System →1 issue
Your 2007 Ford Edge's fuel tank is leaking at two corners on the driver's side due to corrosion, which matches safety recall 14S22. When you took it to the dealership, they refused to inspect it under recall coverage because your VIN didn't show the recall in their system, and asked you to pay $258 for one hour of shop time to look at it. The repair will likely involve inspecting the fuel tank for corrosion damage and either sealing the leak or replacing the fuel tank.

Steering,suspension →1 issue
The left side lower control arm has rusted through where it connects to the frame, and the right side is starting to separate due to rust as well. This is a serious suspension issue that affects your car's steering and handling. The fix will involve replacing the rusted control arm mounting points, which may require frame repair or replacement of the affected components.

Air Bags,engine →1 issue
You're considering buying a 2007 Ford Edge for your mother, but it has already had three water pumps replaced at a cost of about $1,000 each. You're concerned about whether this is a recurring defect covered by a recall, or if there's an underlying problem causing the water pump to fail repeatedly.

Power Train,air Bags,engine →1 issue
While driving, you notice the airbag warning light and wrench symbol appearing on your dashboard. At the same time, your car loses power and the transmission makes hard shifts with clunking noises. Some owners report this is related to faulty speed sensors in the transmission. The fix likely involves replacing the output shaft speed sensor and/or turbine speed sensor in your transmission.

Engine And Engine Cooling →1 issue
Your check engine light is staying on, and you're noticing coolant leaking from the radiator area. The water pump has been identified as the problem and needs replacement—this is the third time this part has failed on your vehicle. Without a working water pump, your engine can overheat, so this repair should be done soon.

Exterior Lighting →1 issue
Your brake lights stopped working while you were driving at 60 MPH. You took your car to a mechanic four times, and they replaced the housing, LED conversion, tail light bulb, socket, and connector, but the brake lights kept failing. The fix may require replacing the entire tail light assembly, wiring harness, or having the electrical connections professionally diagnosed and rewired.

Service Brakes →1 issue
Your brake pedal feels unusually hard to press, and you sometimes hear a hissing or whistling noise coming from the brake area. A mechanic diagnosed a faulty brake power booster, which is subject to a recall, but your vehicle wasn't included in that recall. The brake power booster likely needs to be replaced to restore normal pedal feel and eliminate the noise.

Power Train,engine →1 issue
Your 2007 Ford Edge is making an abnormal humming sound from the engine when you try to accelerate, and it's not responding immediately when you press the gas pedal. The transmission occasionally fails to shift into the correct gear, causing the engine to stall, and after restarting, the vehicle enters a reduced-power "limp mode." The dealer was unable to reproduce the problem, so it remains unrepaired. A repair may involve transmission fluid service, transmission control module diagnostics, or internal transmission component inspection.
