Driving along the freeway, when all of a sudden i noticed the dimming of lights in my car, and then the speedometer and engine odometer (revs) all dropped to 0, along with the wrench signal coming on, along with the airbag signal coming on, and then eventually the tire pressure signal coming on. The car lost acceleration and i was able to get off the freeway at the next exit. I tried to put my foot on the…

While at a stop sign on a small sloped road, my vehicle rolled backwards when i let go of the brake to accelerate from a stopped position. There were children walking behind me and i almost rolled into them. In addition, while parked in a forward position on a small sloped driveway, i was unable to drive out of the driveway without applying my foot to the brake and the gas at the same time. I almost hit the car in…

I was driving down the highway when my speedometer and odometer stopped working. Then it told me i had a error and a fault in my tire pressure system. My airbag light came on, indicating that it was off. I pulled over and turned off the vehicle. When i started it back up all the error messages cleared, but when i went to put my car into drive it sounded as if the transmission had dropped. I tried driving only to rev…

I have only had my edge a month, had it checked bumper to bumper before purchase (i work at an auto shop) and read reviews online. I wish i had seen these complaints about the transmission and hard shifting/revving before purchase!! As soon as i bought it, within a few days when i would leave work and try to accelerate it hesitates, clunks loudly, then finally catches and takes off.. I've already had new…

Drove the car to work without any issue. After work, i drove to a nearby convenience store by my house and had no issue. I left the store and stopped at a red light. When the light turned green, i stepped on the gas pedal but the car barely moved and was laboring. I checked to make sure i wasn't on the l gear but it wasn't because i was on d. I kept pressing on the gas and noticed a wrench light on in the dashboard.…

Driving through parking lot when shift between gears becomes very rough. Engine revs- but car has no forward movement. We were able to get the car in reverse, and back in to a parking space. We shut the car off- turned the car back on and the issue was resolved- still shifted a little hard. *tr

I pulled out of my neighborhood and as soon as i gave it any good amount of gas it starting driving really rough and shaking and the a/c went out you could hear the misfire on the cylinders and the transmission was revving high before it would shift gears. No check engine lights or anything at this point. I turned back around and took my car back home turned it…

I got home slowly and parked it and when i came back out later and tried it, all the power was back and the…

Bought my 2008 ford edge 3 years ago with no problems. Had some work done after a wreck year and a half ago. After the repair, it began jerking whether i was on the highway or city streets. I noticed that when it jerks, i lose rpms at the same time. I have to hit the gas to get it to accelerate. Feels like the gears are slipping and it doesn't happen t consistent speeds. Some days are worse than others and some days…

I backed up into the street leaving my driveway, i put it in drive to move forward and went about 50 feet and the car jerked and would not move anymore, i tried to press on the accelerator and the car would not go. This is not an acceptable issue, i feel that if my wife was in the car on the freeway this would have been bad. *tr
