Tl* the contact owns a 2008 ford edge. The contact stated that after shifting into park, the shifter would become stuck. The contact would have to shut off and restart the vehicle in order for the gear selector to dislodge. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where they advised him that they were unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired and the manufacturer had not been contacted. The failure…

My wife was driving the vehicle and upon acceleration from a complete stop, the vehicle randomly would go into a "neutral-like" state. Rpms would increase dramatically, but the car would crawl between 3-5mph. The message, "od read error" would display on the dashboard, power steering would go out and brakes would not respond well (it was as if the car had turned off). When shifting from drive to park or reverse, the…

Upon acceleration the rpm's will go up yet the car will slow down and you will feel a bang as if someone has rear-ended you. This has happened quite a few times within a year of us purchasing it brand new. The dealer couldn't find anything wrong several times i brought it to them. Finally, i left it there a few months ago and wouldn't take it back until it was fixed. They re-did the transmission and said it is…

It happened when i came off the highway onto the side road, there was a loud clunk in the rear of the vehicle and i lost power to drive, and when i pressed the gas it would only go 30 miles of speed. I went into a parking lot, turned the motor off and let it sit for 10 min. I restarted it and it seemed fine. But now on a regular basis it will clunk in the rear like i have been hit and then clear up and drive good. I…

2008 ford edge has hard shifts (engine races like it's in neutral and then slams into gear with a loud bang) in two scenarios - from 1st to 2nd, while coasting in stop-and-go traffic, and when quickly accelerating, as in a passing maneuver, from around 35 mph. This results in unpredictable automobile performance.

Occasionally, (once or twice a year) the vehicle jerks violently once between 20-45 mph when slowing and then accelerating. Feels like the vehicle was rear ended or hit a huge pot hole. This has happened very intermittently. Recently, it is happening once or twice a month. Local ford dealer checked pcm (?) calibration and updated it to tsb 08. Hopefully this will solve the problem. *tr

As everyone else with 08 edge the transmission loses power. Entering hwy and press on gas, no pickup just stalls out. Reported to energy country ford on 3 different visits, in port arthur, tx and of course they said nothing wrong. Also, loud clunk from park to reverse or drive. Paint also chips/peels on this cream colored vehicle. Have seen other vehicles this color on the road and the paint around door areas…

This problem has occurred since first few months of owning it. At times while driving at all speeds the car's power goes away in the sense you might be driving 68 then the car starts to slow down, then slam, there is a loud mechanical slam, and the car feels like you ran it to something metal or solid. It literally shakes the whole car scares the !@#$ out of you. It?s usually on the express way and more when it?s…
