2008 ford edge transmission issues. The transmission does not shift properly and sticks in gear and shifts very erratically. It happens at least once a day or more depending on how often it is driven. The car has become unresponsive at different times to the the gas pedal and has actually shut off in the middle of the road, we were able to coast barely to safety. From reading ford forums it is a very common problem,…

I have a 2008 ford edge. I have been putting up with many issues until the last one i experienced last year. My usual problems have been when on an incline & trying to go forward, the car will go backwards causing you to have your foot on the brake and the gas at the same time so you will not hit the car behind you. Also the transmission shifts very hard. When driving the vehicle will jerk for no apparent reason.…

My vehicle is a 2008 and it only has 109,000 miles on it and i started to hear a whining sound, brought it to the auto mechanic and they said that it might be something in the transmission such as a bearing. Well to my surprise they transmission dealer advised me that i needed a whole new transmission. Transmissions are supposed to last a long time and this is very unexpected. $3800.00 for a new transmission. I have…

The vehicle would at different times, have trouble shifting from park to reverse, in drive, etc. It sounded like the transmission was broken. This problem would arise, and then go away. The first time the dealership reset the computer, and it ran fine for weeks, then the problem came about again, and went away, the last time around sept 18th, it was worse, so i had it towed and repaired. The dealership replaced the…

2008 ford edge has a serious safety concern that needs to be addressed immediately. The ford dealership and ford motor co. Refuse any more repair attempts of defective vehicle. While driving at speeds between 40-65 mph without any warning or symptom the vehicle will suddenly make an extremely loud bang and violent jerk of the entire vehicle as if being rear ended. This occurs so fast and quickly that it is over…

Having transmission issues. When accelerating from a stopped position, the automatic transmission delays in going to the next gear, causing the car to have a high rpm. This has happened several times. Also, it seems the car shifts hard between gears. *tr

I am another ford edge owner with safety concerns relating to transmission issues. My car upon acceleration got me far enough into a highway to be struck by an on coming 18 wheeler. Thank god, he was able to drive around me. The rps roar and the car basically crawls, the transmission engages and when it does it feels as if you have been rammed in the rear end. I have read many many complaints of the same situation…

2008 ford edge - transmission and acceleration defect. Our edge hesitates when accelerating after a stop and then jumps forward violently. Sometimes it will not go at all. Afraid of running into something. We got the throttle body replaced. Now the car will not change gears. Rpm are over 7 and car won't go past 20 mph. We have had it in the shop 3 times for the same problem. Because it often runs fine and then…

I have a 2008 ford edge and it is having shift problems in going from 1st to drive. This is intermittent and will not move forward at all. It has left me stalled in traffic a couple of times. Ford service has been working on this for over 6 weeks and have kept the vehicle. They just seem to keep replacing parts after they reprogrammed the transmission. This is a safety and reliability problem. My wife is afraid to…
