Transmission slipping and downshifting hard - around 80,000k i started to notice that the transmission would bang when i put it in reverse. After that, other issues started happening - while pressing the gas pedal, vehicle would not switch to a higher gear. I'd have to come to a complete stop (in traffic!), put it in park, then try to drive again. Periods when the vehicle would get to speed then slip. Transmission…

Check engline light & wrench comes on and the 2008 edge suddenly lost power, then entered "limp mode". My husband took it in 3 different times to the service department, and each time was told they couldn't find the problem. The 4th time i had the same problem on a 45mph, [redacted]. The power just went out, accelarator no longer worked, but then returned but only about 5mph. Lucky i wasn't killed! I took it back to…

Ptu has overheated causing the oil inside to become black and gummy, also causing one or both seals to fail leading to the undercoating of the vehicle to be covered in black thick oil. This was noticed only after a 200 mile run on the interstate in the winter of 2017, 65-80 mph... We have since found that numerous others have had the same issue with this generation of awd ptu's and is a engineering issue with the…

Does this often,repair shops have no clue except for new tranny.it will also try to pull forward while in park when you have the other problems also. It has done this while sitting still and while running 70 on the interstate.

Bought car used july 2017 from a dealer. Has problems starting a few weeks after purchase of not wanting to move. If in heavy traffic doing 5-10 mph on expressway, when traffic finally breaks car will not move, rpm's go up but transmission is still stuck. This is a safety issue that really needs to be addressed as i am seeing a lot of complaints for the same thing. Took my car into the dealer due to extended…

When you step on the gas there is no power. When this happened the air bag light came on and the speedometer. Wouldn't work the tack reved up the low tire pressure light came on and the little wrench light came on. The car would not go. Now it's going to cost around $3000.00 to fix is what i was told and the car only has 90,000 miles on it. I see a lot of people are having the same issue. Ford should issue a recall…

When it started, all was fine. The next morning i drove it…
