The vehicle stalls at low speeds and at red lights and stop signs without warning and without great consistency. This happens multiple times per day/trip with no resolution. Dealer and independent mechanic cannot identify the problem as no codes are thrown when it happens and it restarts after stalling. This is a significant safety issue. *tr

2008 ford edge: i was stopped at an intersection pulling out into traffic after driving normally for about 15 minutes. When i hit the accelerator their was no power and the car inched forward at low speed and the rpms increased dramatically. I was able to hit the brake before an oncoming vehicle almost hit my drivers side as i was attempting to take a left. Once i was able to pull over in a safe location, i put it…

When driving the vehicle the power train problem indicator light and check engine light come on and the car loses all power. Car will not exceed 900 rpm and will barely move. I had the trouble codes read and it is indicating that the throttle is showing stuck closed and open. I believe that this is the same issue as with several other ford models and should have been part of the extended warranty that covered the…

While driving down the highway the speedometer stopped and went to 0 mph, the odometer read dashes, the wrench illuminated in the corner, and the airbag warning sign appeared. The rpm's in my vehicle began to climb higher as well and the car speed began to decrease, again i was on the highway. I got off an exit about 1.5 miles from when i noticed the problem start. After slowing down at the end of the exit i noticed…

Entering highway and auto would not shift gears or accelerate. Stayed idle at over 5 rpm's and had to pull off the road. Seemed like a transmission problem. Towed to repair shop for assessment.still at shop. This vehicle on multiple occasions before this incident has regularly engaged in a violent jerk when i have engaged it in drive or reverse. Seems like a transmission issue but dealer wont do anything unless they…

I own a 2008 ford edge. Recently i noticed my edge having a hard time shifting into fast mode. I took it to the ford dealership, nothing is wrong. Today it was horrible!!! I get to the stop light, my edge would not "take off" like the other cars. I sat there embarrassed for two mins trying to press the accelerator, edge finally jerked and then took off. I am very disappointed in ford. I can't believe they have not…

In may, i was traveling at 55 miles an hours, when my car lurched forward and all the dashboard lights came on. The speedometer stopped showing my speed, the rpm's maxed out, lost all low gears, and the accelerator was not responding properly. I went and had the transmission looked at and the oil changed, engine flushed, etc. Several weeks later i had the same problem. After a short time the car started responding…

Transmission seems to be a issue with the ford edge. Why has there not been a recall on this product? So many complaints on the ford edge transmission. I witness this first hand, may 2, 2014. While driving on the high way, my car out of know where seem to have lost power. The only thing that was moving was the rpm, but the car was slowing down. Finally after pulling to the side of the highway, and turning the car…

My wife and i were driving on the freeway, with the cruise control on. At random the care kicked out on cruise and the speedometer was not working, we also had tire pressure warning, engine service warning, air bag warning and no odometer. We made it to the freeway exist, however when we went to accelerate the car barely moved. The engine would rev at high rpm's but would just crawl. We made it to our house (barely)…

On the way home from a vacation, we pulled into a fast food restaurant to get a quick bite to eat. Upon leaving the restaurant, we started the vehicle and everything seemed normal. About three minutes into our drive home, the dash lights came on (specifically the wrench and air bag lights) and the vehicle lost all throttle power. We quickly pulled over and turned off the car to see if we could diagnose the problem…

For over a year when my car had less than 100k and still under extended warranty my transmission started slipping and slamming into gear on takeoff. I took to ford dealer ship and they ran disnostics and found nothing wrong but reprogramed the computer. That did not fix the issue. The car continues to todays to slip and slam on take off, the odometer bounces and the engine start cutting out/loosing power. Again the…

I bought a certified pre owned 2008 edge in june 2013. I first experienced the hard jerking probably early 2014 or maybe in the winter of 2013. It had trouble shifting up when came to a complete stop. This happened several times and i took the car to the dealership but they couldn't reproduce it. They fixed a transmission leak and updated some software on two separate visits. Both times the problem went away for a…

The car seems to run fine in town. If it is driven about 20 miles or so on the highway, it develops the following drive train problem. When the vehicle slows or comes to a stop and the driver then accelerates, such as when driving in stop-and-go traffic on the freeway or leaving a stop light, it seems like the transmission and engine quit talking to each other and they come uncoupled during shifting. Since the gas…

When driving at low speeds and the transmission shifts from 1st to 2nd gear there is a very hard jerk when the shift is made. Also have had issues with the transmission going into a fail safe mode which puts it into 5th gear when you are trying to take off and the acceleration is very slow. Could lead to an accident while trying to cross traffic and you expect to be able to take off in first gear and have proper…

On the freeway it felt like the car hit a hard bump exiting the freeway there was no longer any acceleration. The engine would rev way up but there was very little forward movement. It seemed as if the transmission was not shifting into the lower gears. I was very lucky to get through the quickly approaching traffic, without getting hit or someone else getting hit as the cars weaved around me. At a stop, i shifted…
