2008 Ford Edge Other Problems

You discovered after purchasing your 2008 Ford Edge that the dealer didn't disclose a previous accident or that the odometer had been rolled back—the mileage history shows it decreased from 192,195 miles in 2020 to 163,087 miles at your November 2021 purchase. You're also unable to register the vehicle or get it to pass emissions testing. This appears to be odometer fraud and misrepresentation by the dealer, which violates consumer protection laws.

We were driving down the road about 70 mph when the sunroof exploded. No one in car saw any rocks or derby to cause this to happen.

speed shift senser and caused the car to make the tranny feels like its going to drop on the ground and they should recalled the car to fix it right its dangerious to drive it like that so buyer beware and its a history of tranny issues on all and so im going to have to pay a dealer to fix it and hope this info helps

The contact owns a 2008 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the brake pedal went to the floorboard while pumping the brake pedal. The dealer was made aware of the failure but informed the contact that there was no recall associated with the VIN. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 148,032.

There seems to be exhaust leaking into my vehicle. It isn’t a constant issue, but a frequent issue. At times I get an overwhelming exhaust smell inside of my car forcing me to roll all the windows down. It started over the last few months. There have not been any inspections on the vehicle since the issue has begun. The only odd light that come on in my vehicle is the oil light randomly clicks on and off at times, but I don’t know if that is related to the issue.

My car has stalled and loss all power numerous times.

MY AIR BAG AND WRENCH LIGHT COME ON AT SAME TIME MY DASH GOES BLANK AND I LOOSE ALL POWER IT HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES .

PCM MELTED 2 IGNITION COILS, HAD TO HAVE NEW COMPUTER INSTALLED $3000. ODOMETER WAS 55,000 APPROX.

TRANSMISSION IS BANGING INTO GEAR INCLUDING REVERSE .AT TIMES IS REFUSES TO MOVE FORWARD . FROM A STAND STILL IT BANGS WHEN PLACED IN REVERSE AND BANGS ON UP SHIFTS 2ND AND THIRD GEARS .

MELTING AND BURNING OUT BULBS THAT ARE USED FOR TAILLIGHTS AND REAR TURN SIGNAL LIGHTS.

MY SUV LUNGES FORWARD WHILE IN MOTION IT HAS JUST CUT OFF WHILE IN MOTION WITH NO WARNING. I WAS ON MY CITY STREET AND THE VEHICLE JUST CUT OFF AND I HAD TO TURN THE KEY OVER TO RESTART IT. THEN IT HAS STARTED LUNGING WHILE I AM DRIVING IT. WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE IN DEC. 2017 & WHEN WE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE LUNGING, THE DEALER TOOK IT IN & SAID THAT IT NEEDED A TUNE-UP. WE PAID $300 ABOUT 5 MONTHS AGO AND GOT A TUNEUP AND IT HAS STARTED TO LUNGE AGAIN. IT OCCURS WHILE I AM DRIVING, SOMETIMES ON THE HIGHWAY AND ALSO IN REGULAR CITY TRAFFIC AT ABOUT 35 MPH. RECENTLY IT STARTED CUTTING OFF RANDOMLY. I AM CALLING TO REPORT IF TO FORD & WHERE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE TOMORROW. THE CUTTING OFF HAS HAPPENED TWICE. ONCE IN DEC. AND THEN TODAY, FEB. 3, 2019.

WATER PUMP WENT OUT CAUSING CAR TO OVERHEAT. OVER VIEW OF VEHICLE DETERMINED THAT WHEN THE PUMP WENT OUT IT MIXED THE ANTIFREEZE AND OIL INSIDE THE ENGINE. INSTEAD OF JUST REPLACING THE WATER PUMP NOW I NEED A WHOLE NEW ENGINE.

TAKATA RECALL

THIS CAR WAS TOTALED AFTER AN ACCIDENT IN 2013 AND WENT TO THE JUNKYARD. PLEASE TAKE THIS OFF OF YOUR RECORDS FOR RECALLS.

AIRBAGS HAVE STILL NOT BEEN FIXED FROM A 2016 RECALL. TWO YEARS IS HARDLY A TIMELY MANOR. THERE IS NO ETA AVAILABLE TO BOOT.

BRAKE BOSTER FAILURE HEATER CORE FAILURE-REPLACEMENT $876

I MADE A TURN OFF INTERSTATE INTO A BUSY ROAD, MY VEHICLE JERKED AND LOST ITS ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. LEAVING ME IN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WITH CARS FLYING AROUND ME TO AVOID HITTING ME. I MANAGED TO MAKE IT INTO A PARKING LOT. I HAD A FRIEND CHECK THE VEHICLE AND WITH THE HOOD UP HE HAD ME PUT IN REVERSE AND IT LOOKED LIKE THE MOTOR WAS GOING TO JUMP OUT OF THE VEHICLE, SAME HAPPENED IN DRIVE. HE PUT HIS COMPUTER ON AND A CODE FOR THE DRIVE SPEED SENSOR WAS PRESENT. THE CODE WAS CLEARED AND THEN NOTICED THE SPEED AND RPM GAUGES WERE INACCURATE. THIS HAPPENS ON OCCASION. UPON RESEARCH I SEE THIS SENSOR HAS A RECALL ON IT BUT NOT FOR MY YEAR 08 EDGE. PLEASE RECALL ASAP. THIS CAN CAUSE SOME SERIOUSLY BAD ACCIDENT WHEN YOUR VEHICLE LOOSES ITS ABILITY TO ACCELERATE WHEN IN TRAFFIC. I FEAR THIS WILL HAPPEN AND MY LIFE IS IN THE LINE. FORD IS AWARE THERE IS A APPARENT PROBLEM NOTED BY OTHER YEAR MAKE MODEL RECALLS.

THERE ARE MULTIPLE REPORTS ONLINE OF ISSUES WITH STALLING WHEN THE VEHICLE SWITCHES GEARS, ESPECIALLY WHEN SHIFTING FROM PARK INTO DRIVE OR REVERSE. IT SEEMS TO BE A SENSOR ISSUE FOR EVERYONE, CAN THIS PLEASE BE ADDRESSED? IT IS VERY EXPENSIVE TO HAVE THE LABOR COMPLETED TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. THANK YOU!

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 70 MPR AND MY 08 FORD EDGE MADE A NOISE THE ODOMETER WENT TO ZERO AND WENT FROM 70 MPR ON THE HIGHWAY TO 0 IT WOULD NOT GO. I'M SO THANKFUL MY KIDS WEREN'T IN THE CAR AND I WAS ABLE TO GO OFF THE EXIT RAMP BEFORE IT COMPLETELY STOPPED. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES ALL ON THE HIGHWAY BEFORE OR AFTER WORK. EACH THE TIME CAR WAS TOLLED FROM WORK OR WHERE IT STOPPED RUNNING. TAKEN TO SHOPS TO SEE WHAT'S WRONG THEY CAN FIND ANYTHING. THE LAST EPISODE HAPPENED MOTHERS DAY THE CAR WAS TOLLED TO A FORD DEALERSHIP THEY HAD THE CAR FOR 1 WEEK AND COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING THEY TOLD ME TO TRADE IF OFF ITS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE... SO I'M COMPLETELY BAFFLED WHY A DEALERSHIP WOULD TELL ME TO TRADE THE CAR SO SOMEONE ELSE COULD POSSIBLY GET SERIOUSLY INJURED OR DIE. I COULD NOT TO DO IT. THE CAR IS NOW NOT COMING ON WITHOUT A JUMP AND HAS NOT BE DRIVEABLE SINCE MOTHERS DAY 2017 WHEN IT DID ALL THE ABOVE AGAIN. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE OCTOBER 2015 A YEAR AFTER GETTING IT. WE HAVE ALL THE DOCUMENTATIONS AND RECEIPTS OF PAYING LOTS OF MONEY OUT OF POCKET. NOT ONE PERSON EVER TOLD ME TO CHECK ON THIS SITE FOR SAFETY ISSUES EVEN KNOWING THE CAR STOPS ON THE HIGHWAY AT ANY GIVEN MOMENTS AND UNRELIABLE OR FAULTY UNTIL I CALLED OUT AUTO INSURANCE TODAY AND WE SEEN ALL OF THIS!! WHAT A MESS I HAVE CONTACTED A CLASS ACTION CASE AS OF TODAY!

I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS AS ANOTHER 2008 FORD EDGE DRIVER DESCRIBED ON THE COMPLAINT/INVESTIGATION PAGE. I AM ACTUALLY GOING TO COPY AND PASTE HER COMPLAINT. DRIVING STRAIGHT ON FREEWAY AT 60 MPH AND THE DASH SUDDENLY DISPLAYS ODO ERROR. WRENCH LIGHT, LOW TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT, AND AIR BAG LIGHT COME ON. SPEEDOMETER SHOWS 0 MPH BUT TACH STILL WORKS. AFTER I STOP THE CAR AND TRY TO TAKE OFF AGAIN IT HAS NO PICKUP. TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO BE STUCK IN 5TH GEAR OR OVERDRIVE. TACH GOES UP TO 2500 RPM BUT VEHICLE BARELY MOVES. WHEN I SHIFT FROM PARK TO DRIVE OR REVERSE THE ENGINE/TRANSMISSION MAKES A HORRIBLE CLUNKING NOISE THAT MAKES ME THINK IT WILL COME OUT OF THE BODY. THE ONLY WAY I CAN GET THE CAR DRIVEABLE AGAIN IS TO DISCONNECT BATTERY FOR A FEW MINUTES THEN RECONNECT. EVERYTHING RESETS AND WORKS BUT OCCURS AGAIN-SOMETIMES A WEEK LATER, SOMETIMES A COUPLE OF MONTHS LATER. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR, AND IT ALSO HAPPENED TO MY 17-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER LAST WEEK. MY HUSBAND HAD TO GO OUT AND DISCONNECT THE BATTERY TO SHE COULD SAFELY DRIVE BACK HOME. AND IT IS VERY RANDOM WHEN IT HAPPENS. I DRIVE HIGHWAYS AND COUNTY ROADS FOR WORK AND SOMETIMES THERE IS NOWHERE TO PULL OVER! I'M A NURSE AND A PARAMEDIC...I DONT WANT TO BE A PATIENT! IT HAS TO BE INVESTIGATED AND A FIX FOUND!!! I CAN'T AFFORD A NEW CAR. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE!! WHEN THE OTHER DRIVER TALKED ABOUT PUTTING INTO GEAR AFTER THE RESTART, THE VEHICLE LITERALLY LURCHES FORWARD OR BACKWARD!!! PLEASE HELP!

I OWN A 2008 EDGE WITH APPROX. 150,000 MILES ON IT. THE CAR HAS STALLED ON ME 3 TIMES IN THE LAST 3-4 MONTHS. THE FIRST TIME THE CAR STALLED I WAS ON THE FREEWAY DURING RUSH HOUR. THANKFULLY I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CARE AND MOVE IT OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY BEFORE IT STALLED AGAIN. AFTER HAVING IT TOWED, I WAS TOLD THAT THE WATER PUMP HAD CRACKED. THE WATER PUMP INVOLVED A LOT OF LABOR AND COST ME ABOUT $1100-$1200 WITH THE TOW. ABOUT A WEEK LATER, I WAS AGAIN DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND THE CAR STALLED. AGAIN, I WAS ABLE TO MAKE MY WAY OFF THE FREEWAY BEFORE THE CAR DIED COMPLETELY. ONCE AGAIN, I HAD TO HAVE THE CARE TOWED. THIS TIME, I WAS TOLD THAT THE ENGINE APPEARED TO HAVE COOLANT IN THE OIL AND CREATED A MURKY GOO. MY ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. ANOTHER $2200. THE LAST INCIDENT WAS FRIDAY, MAY 20TH. I HAD NO INDICATION THERE WAS A PROBLEM OF ANY KIND. I LITERALLY DROVE LESS THAN HALF A MILE WHEN THE CARE OVERHEATED AND STALLED. I CALLED AND EMAILED FORD TO SEE IF I COULD GET ANY ASSISTANCE, BUT HAVE EITHER HAVE HAD NO RESPONSE OR AN EMAIL INDICATING THAT IF THE CAR IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY OR IF NO RECALLS HAVE BEEN ISSUED, I WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY WORK THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR, BUT HAVE NOT RECEIVED A RESPONSE. I AM OUT OF MONEY AND OPTIONS. I HAVE BEEN WITHOUT A CAR FOR ALMOST TWO WEEKS AND FEEL INCREDIBLY FRUSTRATED BY THIS SITUATION. I FIND IT ABSURD THAT A VEHICLE WOULD GET A BLOWN ENGINE WITH NO WARNING AND THAT A RECALL HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED. I AM FACING ANOTHER $1200 OR SO IN VEHICLE REPAIRS.

WHEN DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, TRANSMISSION SLIPS OUT OF GEAR. TAKE FOOT OFF GAS THEN PRESS GAS AND TRANSMISSION JERKS THE VEHICLE HARD. ONCE STOPPED, VEHICLE WILL NOT ACCELERATE. RESTART ENGINE 3 TIMES AND IT WORKS. SOMETIMES WRENCH ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATES.

FALSE DOOR AJAR SIGNAL, DOME LIGHTS STAYING ON EVEN WHILE NIGHT DRIVING

AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKING ONCE THE VEHICLE REACHES A CERTAIN LOW SPEED HAS FAILED TO WORK ON A NUMBER OF OCCASIONS. UNLESS I AM BEING ATTENTIVE ENOUGH TO NOTICE THEY HAVE NOT LOCKED I'M SURE THERE HAS BEEN A NUMBER OF TIMES THE DOORS HAVE BEEN UNLOCKED FOR AN ENTIRE TRIP. I ASSUME THIS WOULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH IF THE DOORS WERE NOT LOCKED.

I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE AND HEARD A LOUD THUMP THUMP AND THOUGHT I BACKED INTO AN OBJECT, BUT DID NOT. WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE, THERE WAS LITTLE ACCELERATION EVEN THOUGH I HAD THE ACCELERATOR TO THE FLOOR. I CONTINUED ON AND AFTER A LITTLE WHILE, ABOUT 2 MILES, THE CAR RAN ALRIGHT AND I MADE IT HOME SAFELY. I IMMEDIATELY CONTACTED THE FORD DEALERSHIP IN TOWN, AND DROPPED THE VEHICLE OFF THIS MORNING 7/29/2014. *JS

I HAVE A 2008 FORD EDGE. WE WERE OVER AN HOUR AWAY FROM HOME, ON A SUNDAY, WHEN WE STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT AND WHEN I WAS TAKING OFF, THE VEHICLE WOULD REV BUT NOT GO, THEN WHEN IT DID ENGAGE, THERE WAS A HARD THUD TWICE. I WAS REALLY AFRAID THAT WE MIGHT NOT MAKE IT BACK HOME AS WELL AS MAKING IT THROUGH THE INTERSECTION. WE DID MAKE IT HOME WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT THAT DAY. I MADE AN APPT TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT I PURCHASED IT FROM ON WEDNESDAY. THERE WERE NO INCIDENTS UNTIL TUESDAY NIGHT WHEN WE WERE COMING HOME FROM THE GROCERY STORE. FROM A STOP AT A STOP SIGN IT DID THE SAME THING, BUT NOT A HARD. THE DEALERSHIP WAS UNABLE TO PULL ANY CODES OR GET IT TO ACT UP THAT FIRST DAY. I ASKED THEM TO KEEP IT AND TO TRY ONCE AGAIN. IT DID ACT UP FOR THE GUY, BUT THEY COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS GOING ON. THEY RECOMMENDED THAT I TAKE IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF THEY COULD FIGURE IT OUT. I TOOK IT IN TODAY AND THEY CALLED TO TELL ME THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO PULL ANY CODES OR GET IT TO ACT UP. SO NOW I AM PAYING THEM $135 JUST TO TELL ME THE SAME THING THE OTHER DEALERSHIP DIDN'T CHARGE ME FOR. ON TOP OF THAT, I DRIVE 45 MILES ROUND TRIP TO WORK 5 DAYS A WEEK AND AM AFRAID OF THIS HAPPENING ON THE BUSY INTERSTATE THAT I TRAVEL OR HAPPENING AT A BUSY INTERSECTION. I HAVE READ MANY STATEMENTS BY PEOPLE AND IT SEEMS THEY ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THE SAME RESULTS...NOTHING! FORD NEEDS TO STEP UP AND MAKE SURE THE PEOPLE WHO BUY THEIR VEHICLES ARE HAPPY AND WILL RETURN. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THE SERVICE PEOPLE CAN'T FIX IT WITHOUT A CODE OR EVEN FIGURE OUT WHAT'S GOING ON. THIS IS A SCARY THING AND I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO PAY PEOPLE TO TELL ME NOTHING! AND THEN WHAT HAPPENS WHEN MY WARRANTY ENDS?! MY BIGGEST CONCERN IS SAFETY. THERE ARE TOO MANY PEOPLE WRITING ABOUT THE SAME THING HAPPENING. *TR

2008 FORD EDGE - THE BRAKES HAVE A SEVERE GRINDING/VIBRATING NOISE FOR THE FIRST 5-10 TIMES I BRAKE AFTER THE CAR HAS BEEN TURNED OFF FOR SEVERAL HOURS/OVERNIGHT. THIS SEEMS TO BE WORSE THE COLDER THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE, ALTHOUGH THIS HAPPENS IN ALL WEATHER, EITHER 50 DEGREE OR 80 DEGREE WEATHER. THIS STARTED TO HAPPEN AROUND 10K MILES AND I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER, THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE ISSUE AND THE BRAKES ARE FINE. AFTER IT GOT WORSE EACH MONTH AND NOW AT 18K MILES I TOOK IT AGAIN INTO THE DEALER (SUNNYVALE FORD) AND THEY DUPLICATED THE PROBLEM BUT TOLD ME THAT FORD HAS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN ISSUED FOR IT BUT THEY CLAIM THIS ISN'T A SAFETY ISSUE SO THEY HAVE NO FIX. I CHECKED AND DIDN'T SEE A TSB WHEN I SEARCHED THE WEB FOR MY 2008 EDGE. THE DEALER SAID I HAVE TO BRAKE HARD SEVERAL TIMES AND THEN IT'LL GO AWAY BUT THEY SAID THE ISSUE COULD COME BACK. THE DEALER SAID THEY'VE HAD THIS BRAKING ISSUES WITH MANY OTHER FORD EDGE'S. NOT JUST MINE. AFTER GETTING MY CAR BACK THIS WEEK I'VE NOTICED THAT THE BRAKING NOISE/VIBRATION STILL HAPPENS. I'M CONCERNED THIS COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE AND/OR DEFECT THAT COULD LEAD TO ME NOT KNOWING WHEN TO DIFFERENTIATE BRAKE GRINDING/VIBRATING NOISES FROM BEING HARMLESS OR POTENTIALLY FATAL. ALSO, I'VE READ AND HEARD OF MANY OTHER FORD EDGE OWNERS WITH THIS SAME COMPLAINT. PLEASE CONTACT ME FOR ANY FOLLOWUP QUESTIONS. THANK YOU. *TR
