2007 Ford Edge Lights Problems

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.

Rear turn signal blubs continue to blow out over and over. Last time I went to replace the bulb had fused to housing. I'm afraid it is going to catch fire. Also tired of buying bulbs every few months to replace burned out ones.

DRIVER SIDE TAIL LIGHT BULB KEEPS GOING OUT. THE SOCKET APPEARS TO BE MELTED/CHARRED. I HAVE HAD THE BULB REPLACED THREE TIMES IN LESS THAN A YEAR. EVERY TIME THE BULB GOES OUT, MY BRAKE LIGHT IS AFFECTED AND I GET PULLED OVER AND ISSUED A FIX-IT TICKET BY THE POLICE.

I WAS DRIVING AND NOTICED MY RIGHT BLINKER FLASHING QUICKLY SO I GOT A NEW REAR RIGHT TURN SIGNAL BULB. WHEN REPLACING THE BULB I NOTICED THAT THE BULB WAS MELTED INTO THE SOCKET. I CHECKED THE OTHER SIDE AND IT WAS CHARRED AND MELTED EVEN WORSE THEN THE BULB THAT WASN'T WORKING. THIS IS VERY SCARY AND A SAFETY HAZARD AS IT COULD START A FIRE AND MY CHILD IS IN THE BACK SEAT!

DOME LIGHTS BY REAR VIEW MIRROR DO NOT GO OFF. SINCE THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH MANY FORD VEHICLES; I FEEL IT SHOULD BE A RECALL. I GOT A NOTICE MONTHS AGO ABOUT A RECALL ABOUT THE TAKATA AIR BAGS ON MY FORD EDGE, ALSO. STILL AWAITING THE REPAIR. THE RECALL SAID TO WAIT FOR THEM TO CALL.

DOOR AJAR LIGHT DOESN'T TURN OFF WHICH LEAVES THE INTERIOR LIGHTS ON WHILE DRIVING

TAIL LIGHT SOCKETS MELT DOWN.

I WAS PULLED OVER FOR HAVING A BURNT OUT TAIL LIGHT. (NO TICKET ISSUED) WHEN I GOT TO WORK I CHANGED THE BULB AND DISCOVERED THAT THE BULB WAS NOT BURNT OUT BUT HAD MELTED THE SOCKET ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE CAR. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION I REALIZED THAT BOTH TAIL LIGHTS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND THE BULBS HAD ALSO BEEN MELTING THE INTERIOR RED PART OF THE TAIL LIGHT. THERE IS NOW AN AREA OF THE LIGHTS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE CAR THAT HAVE WHITE LIGHT SHINING THROUGH THE LENS INSTEAD OF RED. THE DESIGN OF THE LIGHT HAS THE BULB TOO CLOSE TO THE LENS AND THERE ISN'T ENOUGH ROOM TO DISSIPATE HEAT FROM THE BULB CAUSING THE LENS TO MELT AND THE SOCKET TO MELT. I HAVE BEEN ON THE FORD EDGE FORUM AND THERE SEEM TO BE AN ALARMING NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME THING. THIS IS AN OBVIOUS SAFETY DEFECT THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY FORD. *TR

BURNT REAR TAILIGHT SOCKETS. *TR

THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WILL NOT TURN OFF. THE DOOR AJAR INDICATOR REMAINS ON EVEN THOUGH THE DOORS HAVE BEEN FIRMLY CLOSED CAUSING THE INTERIOR LIGHTS TO REMAIN ON. AT FIRST I WAS ABLE TO SLAM THE DOOR SHUT UNTIL IT WOULD TRIGGER THE LIGHTS TO TURN OFF. THEN, I HAD TO USE WD-40 AND AFTER 3 DAYS OF DOING THIS EVERY TIME I ENTERED OR EXITED THE VEHICLE, THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WOULD REMAIN ON. MOST RECENTLY, MY CAR BATTERY DIED BECAUSE OF THE INTERIOR LIGHTS NEVER TURNING OFF. I SLAMMED MY DOOR SHUT FOR OVER AN HOUR TRYING TO GET THE LIGHTS TO TURN OFF AND NOTHING WORKED. MY BATTERY HAS DIED 3 TIMES NOW DUE TO THE INTERIOR LIGHTS NOT SHUTTING OFF EVEN THOUGH ALL THE DOORS WERE FIRMLY SHUT. ONCE WAS AT WORK, I DIDN'T HAVE THE TIME TO KEEP SLAMMING MY DOOR FOR IT TO TURN OFF. FINALLY I TOOK IT TO A FORD DEALERSHIP WHO TOLD ME IT WOULD COST APPROX. $400 TO FIX THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEM AND THE FORD EDGES ARE KNOWN TO HAVE THIS DEFECT. THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM AND AFTER RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM ONLINE IT APPEARS TO HAPPEN QUITE FREQUENTLY WITH THIS VEHICLE. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED AND NOT AT THE OWNER'S EXPENSE! *TR

DISCOVERED THAT REAR TAIL LIGHT HOUSING HAS BECOME SO HOT THAT IT HAS MELTED THE BULBS IN THE SOCKET. THE SOCKETS THEMSELVES ARE BLACK IN APPEARANCE, AND THERE HAVE BEEN NO WARNINGS OR ERROR CODES TO INDICATE THERE IS A PROBLEM. *TR

PASSENGER SIDE TAIL LIGHT BULB BLACKENED AND SOCKET PARTIALLY MELTED. REPLACED WITH 4157LL BULB AS RECOMMENDED BUT STILL WON'T WORK. I THINK MAYBE BULB HAS GOTTEN TOO HOT AND NOW SOCKET DEFECTIVE. *TR

TAIL LIGHTS REPEATEDLY BURN OUT. LIGHT SOCKET IS BLACKENED. APPEARS THE BULB IS RUNNING TOO HOT. THIS OCCURS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

I DISCOVERED BOTH OF MY REAR BRAKE LIGHT BULBS MELTED IN THEIR SOCKETS. *JS

THE REAR TURN SIGNAL BULBS ON MY 2007 FORD EDGE ARE BURNING OUT ON A REGULAR BASIS OF APPROX EVERY 4-5 MONTH. THE BULBS AND ASSEMBLY BOTH SHOW SIGNS OF BLACKENING AND MELTING. THE ISSUE ONLY SEEMS TO BE WITH THE REAR TURN SIGNALS. I HAVEN'T HAD TO REPLACE ANY OTHER EXTERIOR LIGHTS SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR IN APR 2011. *JS

AS PER OTHER COMPLAINTS, DRIVER'S SIDE BRAKE LIGHT BURNS OUT AND LIGHT SOCKET BURNED AND PARTIALLY MELTED. *JS

ONE OF THE REAR BLINKERS WENT BAD TWICE SINCE I HAD THE CAR AND WHEN I WENT TO REPLACE IT THE SOCKET THAT THE BULB GOES INTO WAS BLACK AND MELTED. THE FIRST TIME THE BLINKER WENT OUT THE CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY SO THE DEALER REPLACED THE BULB. I FEEL THAT THIS ISSUE NEED TO BE ADDRESSED SOON BECAUSE OTHER THAN BEING ANNOYING HAVING TO REPLACE THE BULB IT SEEMS LIKE A FIRE HAZARD. *TR

2007 FORD EDGE, BOTH REAR TURN SIGNAL LIGHTS SHORTED OUT WITHIN A FEW WEEKS OF EACH OTHER. IN BOTH CASES, THE BASE OF BULB THAT PLUGS INTO SOCKET HAS A BURNED BLACK APPEARANCE LEADING ME TO BELIEVE THIS COULD BE A FIRE SAFETY HAZARD IN THIS MODEL. I HAVE REPLACED BOTH BULBS AND MY HUSBAND IS REPORTING TO OUR LOCAL DEALER.

THE DASH LIGHTS ARE TOO DIM IN LOW LIGHT SITUATIONS. CANNOT SEE THE SPEED AT THOSE TIMES. *TR

IT WAS AT NIGHT AND THE HEADLIGHTS WERE IN AUTOMATIC MODE. I WENT TO TURN THE HIGH BEAMS ON BY PULLING THE LEVER TOWARDS ME (THE LEVER SHOULD BE PUSHED AWAY IN THIS CAR BUT I WAS USED TO MY WORK VAN WHERE I PULL THE LEVER), AND THE HIGH BEAMS JUST FLASHED ON AND THEN THE HEADLIGHTS WENT COMPLETELY OUT AND MY WIFE AND I WERE IN COMPLETE DARKNESS DRIVING 45 MPH. *TR
