    2007 ford edge will roll backward when on the slightest incline while vehicle is in drive. The vehicle will not stop rolling until the brake is depressed or it settles on flat ground. It also does this in reverse and you are pointed downhill. I recently was parked in a downhill position, released the park brake, placed the vehicle in reverse and had to slam on the brakes to stop the edge from slamming into a car in…

    Tl*the contact owns a 2007 ford edge. The contact stated that when driving up an incline the transmission began making a ticking sound. Transmission failure while driving increased the risk of a crash. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and a technician concluded that the ptu seal was leaking, which can cause transmission failure. The current mileage was 49,533 and the failure mileage was 48,000.

    When i am on an incline and i take my foot off of the gas my car will roll backwards. I took it to the dealership to be fixed because i heard there was a tsa for it. They said it was normal to roll backwards and that i needed to keep my foot on the brake. I have almost hit another vehicle because of it rolling backwards. This should not be doing this in an automatic. *tr

    My 2007 ford edge is now in the process of having a transmission leak repaired due to faulty axle seals (so i'm told) for the fourth time in 18 months. I was informed by a service manager that my edge is not the first he has seen to have this problem. Also ford has stopped shipping replacement seals because they are no better than the originals. Ford's stance seems to be that there is no major problem, the vehicle…

Took vehicle to dealership seals replaced approximately 2 weeks ago(12-8-08). Smell resolved. Yesterday smell returned (12-22-08). Believe smell is from leaking seals again. Leaking onto exhaust giving off burning rubber smell/fumes into the cabin area. Somewhat of a noxious…

    I have a 2007 ford edge awd. Around 15,000 miles, it began to have a "burned rubber" smell waft into the passenger compartment whenever i came to a stop after driving for awhile. Sometimes i could see smoke sift up through the hood near the windshield. The dealer found the ptu valve (power transfer unit) to be leaking, and i think they changed it. It worked for awhile, but within 4 months, it began to smell again.…

    Automatic transmission will not hold vehicle in place on even slight incline. I.e. Vehicle in drive facing uphill when stopped and brake released vehicle will roll backward down hill. Vehicle facing downhill with transmission in reverse will roll forward when brake is released. *tr

    When the edge is in drive and stopped on an incline it will roll backward when you release the brake. It doesn't just roll back a little....it will continue to roll back until you give it some gas or step on the brake. The first time it happened i almost rolled back into the car behind me. I have never experienced this rollback in an automatic vehicle. I read on the internet that there was a tsb for this and took my…

    I own a 2007 ford edge, purchased in may 2007. The transmission seems to "shudder" when upshifting or downshifting at speeds between 35-55 mph. It is apparent when taking your foot off the gas to slow and then applying gas to speed back up. I have taken the vehicle back to the dealership to be checked and was told it was probably "flat spots" on the tires and the problen would go away after 3000 or so miles to give…
