Will be driving along at any speed and car will not accelerate, it does not stall but wrench light comes on and you can't do anything until you shut off the car and restart it. This has happened numerous times and hasn't caused an accident yet, but most certainly will eventually. This problem is well known, but is phrased as stalling when it truly doesn't stall, accelerator just doesn't work and car slows down…

Transmission sporadically shifts hard and chugs. As yet there are no warning indications on dash or complete loss of power but this seems to be a recurring problem with many ford edge owners. Because problem is sporadic there are problems with diagnosis and of course ford doesn't admit that there is anything wrong. This could be a potentially dangerous safety concern if the vehicle were to malfunction under certain…

My 16 year old daughter was driving to school. She was in a 45 mile per hour zone. A car pulled out in front of her so she let off of the gas. When she pushed on the gas again her car would not go. The rpms went way up but the car wouldn't go. The wrench (check engine light) came on. She was able to pull to the side of the road. She turned the car off and it made one loud pop/puff noise. Once she turned the car back…

My vehicle all of a sudden started to slow down suddenly like i had taken my foot off the gas. It started shuddering and my transmission light came on. I thought it was the transmission so i had it towed to the shop. After diagnosis, it showed my cylinders were misfiring. It was due to a bad coil which was causing the spark plugs to read at an extremely high voltage. They needed to replace all coils and all spark…

2007 ford edge has been shifting gears heavy (especially low) and getting worse. Last week it should have down shifted to 2nd but instead up shifted to like 4 or 5th gear and i lost any real power to get up the hill. The noise itself was a very noticeable bang and shudder. This is apparently happening to other because there's youtube videos of the exact same thing. *tr

Had this checked out and now they are hollering another sensor has went bad and…

We noticed an oil like substance leaking from underneath the front end of the car. We took it to a ford dealership and they told us it was the transfer case needed to be replaced. Not only is it a $1500 repair but it is a common problem happening to ford edge's years 2007 - 2011. Sounds to me like a recall should be made on this part. We caught ours early, so not sure what could've happened if we continued to drive…

I was traveling on 95 north in s. Carolina when my car jerked and everyone lurched forward in the vehicle as if we had traveled over a speed bump or something large in the road. It was mid day and nothing was in the road. We continued traveling and about 30 miles it happened again and we realized it was the transmission. We were fortunate to make it home and took it to our mechanic. He saw no visual signs of trouble…
