Taillight was inoperative, passenger side, along with directional signal. Thinking it was a burned out bulb, i removed the tail light connector from the plastic housing. I noticed that the bulb had totally fuzed itself to the connector. While the bulb filaments appear intact, the bulb and connector had generated enough heat to essentially melt the base of the bulb to the connector into one unit. Oddly enough, when…

Driving down the highway at 60mph and suddenly my speedometer and gauges all shut down. Just as fast as it went off it came back on again. This seems to be a common occurrence with the ford edge. There is obviously a severe issue with the computer system and something needs fixed before someone gets killed!

When driving down the highway for the 3rd time the traction control light came on and the car just started slowing down. When i turn the car off and back on it goes off, so far it has not come back on or happened happened again. When the happened the second time i got home turned the car off and the wipers came on. Not sure if that is related but it is unusual.

When we took it in to…

I have contacted ford and there is a technical service bullentin on the pcm and coil packs, but was told not enough people have reported the issue to put out a recall. I can not afford over $2000.00 to have this fixed. Ford is aware that it is a defective part and i dont understand why…

While merging onto the interstate at approximately 45 mph car started shaking and losing acceleration. Limped along to next exit in fear of being flattened by interstate traffic. Was found to have a melted #5 coil. Replaced coil and still shuddering and shaking. #5 melted again, pcm problems. Seems to have happened to many others. Very dangerous. Happened with no warning at 162000 miles. Needs a recall

My blinker light started blinking really fast and i knew that that indictated that i had a bulb out. I saw that it was the rear left and purchased a new bulb for it. I searched online for how to change the bulb properly and found several videos for how to do it but they all showed that the bulb socket had overheated and was burnt. Sure enough, when i opened up mine to change the bulb, the socket that holds the bulb…

When operating the turn signals in either direction the rear light would not work intermittently at first, and then permanently. Upon pulling the rear bulb housing, i noticed the turn signal light socket was burnt in appearance. Opon trying to remove the bulbs, one of the retaining tabs on one side broke off. Inside the sockets (both sides) were full of whitish corrosion. The main issue here is twofold: if you look…

2007 ford edge has ptu leak, the transmission is not shifting properly, the brake light bulbs are constantly blowing and melting in the socket. The brakes sound like they are grinding metal and the cd player decided to quit working too. I have read online of others having all of these exact same problems. The ptu and transmission problems should not be something that the owner should have to pay to have corrected…
