2008 Ford Edge Electrical Problems

Your car experienced an electrical fire about a month after you installed a replacement battery purchased from AutoZone. The fire started while driving in traffic, causing smoke and burning smell from under the hood, melting battery cables and damaging the alternator and cooling system. The mechanic determined the battery overheated dangerously and likely caused the fire. Resolving this will require extensive electrical system repairs, including new battery cables, alternator inspection/replacement, and cooling system assessment.

The locked door emblem sporadically comes on and stays on. It makes my interior lights stay on. It runs my battery down. The back passenger side door was opened by a rider and the lock all doors button had been engaged. The red light was on to show doors were not locked. This has been an ongoing issue for several months now. I have an appointment at Ford garage 09/13/22.

Problem with the computer for dash. Was worked on at Ford dealership in Lexington ky and had to borrow money with the lender that was already financing the vehicle for me for repairs. They was unable to repair it but still charged me almost 1,800.00.

The rear taillight socket melted due to excessive heat. This has happened twice to the same vehicle. Once in 05/2019. At the time, a dealer service center recommended replacing the junction box, a $700 repair. The same issue has occurred again.

REAR TAIL LIGHT BULBS ARE MELTING, SEVERAL TIMES NOW, AFTER DOING RESEARCH IT SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING TO A LOT OF PEOPLE, SO I SEE IT AS A SAFETY ISSUE. MY TURN SIGNAL WENT OUT AND WENT TO REPLACE IT AND DISCOVERED THE BULB WAS MELTED INTO THE SOCKET. (THIS HAPPENED THREE TIMES NOW, I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE ISSUE. (IT MAY BE A FACTORY ELECTRICAL DESIGN FLUKE)

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CEASED TO OPERATE, THE HEADLAMPS FAILED TO REMAIN ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY DECELERATED WITH THE AIR BAGS WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER FOR SEVERAL MINUTES BEFORE DRIVING TO AN AUTO ZONE STORE TO HAVE THE VEHICLE DIAGNOSED. THERE WAS NO DTC CODES RETRIEVED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED OR NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 98,000. *TR

WHEN WERE DRIVING THE CAR IT LOSES POWER(THE TRACTION CONTROL JUST COMES ON FOR NO REASON) , WHEN WE GO ABOVE 70 OUR ABS LIGHT COMES ON, OUR BRAKES RANDOMLY JUST START GRINDING THEN THEY WILL STOP, WE HAVE REPLACED THE BREAKS LAST MONTH.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE TRUCK LOST ALL POWER. THE ONLY CHOICE I HAD WAS TO STEER THE WHEEL TO A SAFE POSITION ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. WHEN THE HAPPENED THE DOORS WERE LOCKED WINDOWS WERE CLOSED SHUT I WAS ALMOST UNABLE TO GET OF THE TRUCK SAFELY. ALSO I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AFTER GET A NEW SET OF TIRES AND THE TRUCK BEGAN TO MAKE A SCRUBBING SOUND AS IF THE WHEELS WAS GRINDING AGAINST SOMETHING NOTHING WAS THERE. I REMEMBER A RECALL ON THE WHEEL HUB AND I HAVE HAD THE TRUCK FOR ABOUT 2 YEARS AND I DON'T RECALL GETTING THE PROBLEM REPAIRED BUT MY VIN RETURNS BACK NO ACTIVE RECALLS AND I CAN NOT HELP BUT WONDER IF THERE IS AN ERROR.

I BOUGHT A USED 2008 FORD EDGE, TAIL LIGHT BULB WAS BURNT OUT SOON AFTER I BOUGHT IT. WENT TO CHANGE THE BULB AND DISCOVERED THE SOCKET WAS BURNT UP AND MELTED. CHECKED THE OTHER SIDE AND HAD THE SAME ISSUE! THIS COULD DEFINITELY BE A FIRE HAZARD! GOOGLED THE PROBLEM AND FOUND EVERYONE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE!

I RECENTLY BOUGHT USED 2008 FORD EDGE. MY TAIL LIGHT WENT OUT AND WHEN I WENT TO CHANGE THE BULB, I DISCOVERED THE BULB AND THE WHOLE SOCKET TO BE BURNT AND MELTED. I TOOK TO GOOGLE AND FOUND EVERYONE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE!! THIS COULD DEFINITELY BE A FIRE HAZARD, IT HAS ME WORRIED WITH 2 KIDS IN MY CAR!!

VEHICLE INITIALLY WOULD NOT ACCELERATE BEYOND 10 MPH THEN COMPLETELY LOST POWER IN THE MIDDLE OF RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. LOCAL REPAIR CENTER REPORTED ISSUES WITH PCM AND WAS UNABLE TO FIX IT. SENT IT TO A FORD DEALER WHO CONFIRMED ISSUES WITH PCM THAT DAMAGED THE BODY THROTTLE, 3 ENGINE COILS, AND OTHER PARTS. HAD TO REPLACE PCM AND PARTS DAMAGED BY IT RESULTING IN A $2894.10 REPAIR BILL. THE FOLLOWING DAY AFTER REPAIR, WAS AGAIN IN THE MIDDLE OF RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC AND THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY LOSS POWER AGAIN. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN AND BASED ON RESEARCH, A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME THING. FORD NEED TO RECALL THIS ISSUE. I'M SO THANKFUL MY CHILD WAS NOT IN THE VEHICLE DURING THESE EVENTS.

BOTH THE REAR TAIL/STOP LIGHT BULB SOCKETS MELT FROM EXTREME BULB HEAT. THIS ISSUE IS POSTED BY OTHERS ALL OVER THE INTERNET. THIS IS A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD THAT SERIOUSLY NEEDS ADDRESSING BY FORD. IN THE PAST I REPLACED THE RIGHT REAR BULB WHICH IS WHEN I DISCOVERED THE ISSUE. YESTERDAY I HAD TO REPLACE THE LEFT REAR BULB AND DISCOVERD THAT SOCKET TOO IS MELTED ALONG WITH THE BASE OF THE BULB ITSELF.

DASH BOARD LIGHTS COMPLETELY OUT. WHEN CAR IS IN DRIVE RPM NOT APPEARING ALSO GAUGES NOT WORKING. COMPASS DATA ERROR APPEARS UP WITH RED BATTERY SYMBOL

THE SUNROOF STAYS OPEN AND CANNOT CLOSE UNLESS THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED AND MANUALLY FORCED CLOSE. THE SUNROOF MECHANISM TO CLOSE TO GLASS BREAKS EASILY. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE PANORAMIC SUNROOF, BUT IS EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE TO FIX. THE DEALERSHIP IS WANTING TO CHARGE BETWEEN $1900 - $2500 TO FIX AND TWO PLASTIC CLIPS THAT CLOSE THE SUNROOF, BECAUSE THEY ARE INDICATED THEY HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE TRACK SYSTEM, AS THE SPECIFIC SMALL PART THAT NEEDS REPLACING IS NOT AVAILABLE.

RIGHT REAR TAIL LAMP IS BURNT AND TURN SIGNAL NO LONGER WORKS. I'VE NOTED MANY INSTANCES OF THIS OCCURRING ON LINE. THERE SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL AS THIS HAS A FIRE POTENTIAL.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BATTERY DIED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V024000 (AIR BAGS).

THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 46,678. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE. **TR *TR

MY TURN SIGNAL BULB SOCKET FRIES REPEATEDLY. THIS WILL BE THE FOURTH TIME IN 2 YEARS REPLACING IT. IT BURNS UP THE SOCKET AND MELTS THE BOTTOM OF THE LIGHT BULB. I GOT THE PARTS FROM FORD DEALERSHIP ALSO BUT I HAVE READ ONLINE ANY PEOPLE HAVING ISSUES WITH IT. IT JUST GOES OUT ALL OF A SUDDEN.

NOTICED THE R/H BRAKE LIGHT WAS OUT. WENT TO CHANGE THE BULB AND FOUND THE SOCKET IS BURNED AND CHARD. I REMOVED THE L/H SIGNAL LIGHT AND FOUND THE EXACT SAME SITUATION. THIS IS A SERIOUS FIRE HAZARD AND A QUICK ON-LINE SEARCH FOUND MULTIPLE SIMILAR SITUATIONS. A COWORKER OF MINE WITH EXACT SAME VEHICLE HAD THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPEN.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 134,000. UPDATED 06/08/17*LJ UPDATED 08/15/2017*JS

VEHICLE CONTINOUSLY FRIES TURN SIGNAL LAMPS. I'VE REPLACED 12 OF THEM SINCE WE BOUGHT IT 4 YEARS AGO. EVERY 4-6 MONTHS IT ACTUALLY MELTS THE BULB HOUSING AND I HAVE TO PRY IT OUT. IF THE VEHICLE CATCHES FIRE I PLAN TO SUE FORD. NO PATTERN TO WHEN THEY BURN IT. COMPLETELY RANDOM BUT I'VE SAVED PHOTOS OF EACH ONE.

LEFT REAR TAIL LIGHT BURNED OUT CHECK BULB COME TO FIND OUT THE SOCKET IS BURNED BROWN AND THE SOCKET VERY CRISP FALLING APART DUE TO OVER HEATED SOCKET THIS SHOULD BE REPLACED BY FORD. THIS MAY CAUSE A FIRE HAZARD, TAKE YOUR VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND HAVE THIS CHECKED BEFORE YOU HAVE A FIRE!!! I FOUND THIS WHEN I CHECKED TO SEE IF THE TURN SIGNAL/BRAKE LIGHT WERE WORKING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT VARIOUS WARNING INDICATORS RANDOMLY FLASHED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL/CLUSTER. WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS APPLIED, THE RPMS RACED, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS SLOW TO GAIN SPEED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED NO RECOMMENDED SOLUTION. THE VIN AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE NOT AVAILABLE.

DRIVER'S DOOR AJAR LIGHT COMES ON. MAKING A DINING SOUND CONTINUOUSLY, TURNING INTERIOR CAR LIGHTS ON, AND WON'T ALLOW DOORS TO LOCK. BUT THE DOOR IS SHUT. THIS CONCERNS ME WITH THE LIGHTS TURNING ON AT NIGHT, AND WHAT IF I REALLY DO HAVE A DOOR THAT ISN'T SHUT. THIS CAN HAPPEN AS SOON AS YOU START THE CAR, OR LATER WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD.

REAR TAILLIGHTS MELTING IN THEIR SOCKETS.

FOUND THE VEHICLE WITH A DEAD BATTERY THIS MORNING. BATTERY IS ONLY 1.5 MONTHS OLD. JUMP STARTED THE VEHICLE AND THEN FOUND THAT WHILE RUNNING AND DOORS CLOSED, THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT WAS ON AND ALL DOME LIGHTS. CHECKED ALL DOORS MULTIPLE TIMES, STILL WOULD NOT SHUT OFF. TRIED TO LOCK DOORS WHILE ENGINE RUNNING AND SINCE THE CAR BELIEVED A DOOR WAS OPENED IT IMMEDIATELY UNLOCKED ALL THE DOORS. NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO TRAVELING WITH A RISK OF A DEAD BATTERY AGAIN OR ON THE HIGHWAY WITH NO ABILITY TO LOCK THE DOORS. SEEMS FORD HAS EXACT SAME ISSUES WITH OTHER MODELS. THEY NEED TO RECALL THE 08S AS WELL.

MY 2008 FORD EDGE (SINCE I BROUGHT IT) HAS BEEN HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE, ALL OF THE LIGHTS ON THE PANEL WILL LIGHT UP( WRENCH LIGHT, AIRBAG LIGHT, TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT...ETC) THE ODOMETER WILL GO OFF AND HAVE ONLY DASHES, THE CAR WILL THEN HAVE A LOSS OF ACCELERATION. THE CAR FEELS LIKE IT IS TRYING REALLY HARD TO STAY IN GEAR OR CHANGE GEARS.THIS WILL HAPPEN ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 60MPH AS WELL AS LOCAL ROADS AT LOWER SPEEDS. I WILL HAVE TO PUT MY HAZARDS ON AND PULL OVER ON THE SIDE. WE FIGURED OUT THAT IF YOU DISCONNECT THE CABLES ON THE BATTERY FOR A FEW MINUTES THEN RECONNECT THE CAR WILL THEN RUN AGAIN OK. THIS IS A SERIOUS HAZARD. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT SEVERAL TIMES ON THE HIGHWAY DUE TO THIS ISSUE AND HAVE BEEN HIT FROM BEHIND GETTING ON THE HIGHWAY ALREADY. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO FORD SEVERAL TIMES ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT THERE IS "NO CODE READING" SO THEY CAN NOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS TO FIND OUT IF OTHER FORD EDGES HAVE THE SAME ISSUE AND I CAME ACROSS A SLEW OF OTHER FORD EDGE OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. I HAVE CONTACTED FORD SEVERAL TIMES TO BE TOLD THAT THERE ARE NO RECALLS ON THIS. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY 2008 FORD EDGE, THE "WRENCH" LIGHT COMES ON AND MY CAR LOSES ALL POWER. WHEN I STEP ON THE GAS IT IS LIKE I AM IN NEUTRAL MY CAR WILL NOT DRIVE. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY IN TRAFFIC. I AM SO SCARED I AM GOING TO BE REAR-ENDED. I DID A LOT OF RESEARCH AND FOUND MANY OTHERS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. APPARENTLY IT IS THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD EDGE. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE, IT FAILED TO START. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE IGNITION COIL, POWER CONTROL MODULE, AND CATALYTIC CONVERTER FAILED AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 117,000. ..UPDATED 11/21/16 *BF

AS EVERYONE ELSE, LOSES ACCELERATION, SHUT OFF AND IT SEEMS FINE LATER. HIGH RPM NO POWER, AS IF IT CANT SHIFT. NO ERROR LIGHTS, SHAKING ALONG WITH SPUTTERING WHEN IT HAS A LOAD.....VERY DANGEROUS AS I DRIVE MAJOR HIGHWAY DAILY. HAS BEEN HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY NOW

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE ODOMETER AND AIR BAG INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. ALSO, THE SPEEDOMETER WAS AT ZERO.

A LOCAL DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND ASKED THAT THE VEHICLE BE BROUGHT TO THE SHOP FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE BATTERY WAS CORRODED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

THE BLINKERS STOP WORKING. YOU DO NOT KNOW THIS UNTIL COP STOPS YOU. UPON INSPECTION I FOUND THAT THE SOCKET HAD MELTED AND HAD THAT MOLTED LOOK TO THEM. THE LIGHT BULBS HAD BURNT OUT. THIS NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO SINCE IT IS A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD. HERE IS ANOTHER COMPLAINT IN YOUR RECORDS REAGARDING THE SAME ISSUE- CRASH:NO FIRE:NO NUMBER OF INJURIES:0 NUMBER OF DEATHS:0 MANUFACTURER: FORD MOTOR COMPANY VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NO. (VIN): 2FMDK38C48B... SUMMARY: REAR TURN LIGHT SOCKETS BURN UP WITH NO WARNING LIGHT TO DISPLAY THAT YOUR REAR LIGHTS NO LONGER WORK. YOU DO NOT KNOW UNTIL THE POLICE PULLS YOU OVER TO TELL YOU WHICH CAN RESULT IN FINES. I HAD TO PAY TO REPLACE BOTH REAR LIGHT SOCKETS (APPROX. $150)

WHEN I WAS DRIVING TO WORK ALL OF A SUDDEN MY AIRBAG AND WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AND I HAVE NO SPEEDOMETER OR TACHOMETER READING. IF I PULLED OVER AND STARTING DRIVING AGAIN I HAD VERY LITTLE PICKUP EVEN THOUGH THE RPMS WERE OVER 2,000. THERE IS ALSO A VERY LOUD CLUNK WHEN YOU PUT IT IN DRIVE OR REVERSE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO JERK AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE IGNITION COIL EXPLODED AND DAMAGED THE PCM. MULTIPLE COILS AND THE PCM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED.

THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,276.

I HAVE HAD TO CONSTANTLY REPLACE THE BULB FOR THE DRIVER SIDE LIGHT ENCLOSURE. THE BULB BLOWS OUT SHORTLY AFTER REPLACING. MOST RECENTLY IT WAS CHANGED ON APRIL 4TH AND BLEW OUT APRIL 6TH

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND LOST POWER. A WRENCH ICON ILLUMINATED ON THE DASHBOARD. THE CONTACT PLACED THE GEAR IN PARK AND SHUT OFF THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE LATER RESTARTED. THE CONTACT CALLED A LOCAL DEALER WHO REQUESTED THAT THE VEHICLE BE BROUGHT IN FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND TRANSFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 117,700.

BACK HATCH DOOR AJAR LIGHT IS ON EVEN WHEN CLOSED. THE DOOR WILL NOT LOCK AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON FOR A LONG TIME AS A RESULT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT A WARNING LIGHT KEPT RANDOMLY FLASHING FOR THE DOOR SENSOR, WHICH INDICATED THAT THE DOOR WAS NOT SHUT WHEN THE DOOR WAS CLOSED AND VISE VERSA FOR ALL FOUR DOORS. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO ENTER THE VEHICLE UNLESS THE CONTACT MANUALLY UNLOCKED THE DOORS FROM THE OUTSIDE. THE INTERNAL DOME LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED AS THE FAILURE PROGRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INSPECTED AND DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS TO BE TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 88,000.

DRIVER DOOR AJAR LIGHT REMAINS ON AFTER CLOSING THE DOOR SEVERAL TIMES. ONCE LIGHTS FINALLY GO OUT, IT WILL POP RIGHT ON AGAIN, EVEN AS I WAS DRIVING. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, BECAUSE WE'LL NEVER KNOW WHEN THE DOORS ARE AJAR. EVEN BIGGER ISSUE IS THE DOORS NOT BEING UNLOCKED IN THE PROCESS. JUST ANNOYED WITH THIS ALLTOGETHER. HOPEFULLY SOMETHING WILL BE DONE ABOUT IT. IT'S DRAINING THE BATTERY IN THE PROCESS. THANK YOU.

OUR VEHICLE BEGAN TO STUTTER WHILE DRIVING DOWN A 4 LANE HIGHWAY AND THEN SUDDENLY TURNED OFF WHILE CAR WAS STILL IN DRIVE AND IN MOTION. ONCE THE ENGINE TURNED OFF ON ITS OWN THE POWER STEERING DID NOT WORK MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO STEER TO THE SIDE OF ROAD. CAR WAS TOWED TO DEALERSHIP PROBLEM WAS NOTED AS A FAULTY PCM WHICH CAUSED THE COILS TO OVERHEAT AND CAUSE BOTH THE PCM AND COIL TO FAIL. COILS WAS SEVERELY MELTED FROM OVERHEATING AND MAY HAVE EVENTUALLY CAUGHT ON FIRE. FORD WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM AND STATES THAT THE MANUFACTURE DATE WAS ACKNOWLEDGED IN A TSB 14-0059 BUT THAT THERE IS NO RESPONSIBILITY OF FORD MOTOR COMPANY END. COST TO REPAIR WAS $3000 DUE TO TSB STATING THAT CUSTOMER NEEDS TO REPLACE ALL COILS AND PCM WITH A UNIT THAT DOES NOT CAUSE OVERHEATING AND LOSS OF POWER TO CAR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE WENT INTO LIMP MODE AND SHE WAS UNABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT MANEUVERED THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO A COMPLETE STOP AS ALL WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE IGNITION COIL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,100.

BENEATH THE DRIVERS SEAT, THERE IS A LOUD SOUND THAT RESIGNATES THROUGHOUT THE VEHICLE. ALSO THE ELECTRICAL PANEL HAD TO BE REPLACED AND SENSORS GO OFF PERIODICALLY.

ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT DOOR AJAR LIGHT WAS STAYING ON AND WOULD NOT GO AWAY EVEN THE DOOR WAS CLOSED. WE HAVE BEEN ALL KINDS OF OTHER PROBLEMS RELATED TO THIS PROBLEM SUCH AS DOOR CHIMES GOING OFF RANDOMLY ALL THE TIME THE DOME LIGHTS WILL NOT TURN OFF WHEN CAR IS PARKED AND SHUT OFF. THE NOISE AND LIGHTS ARE A MAJOR DISTRACTION. THE OTHER PROBLEM WE HAVE EXPERIENCED WITH THE VEHICLE BUT HAVE HAD FIXED IS THE TWO REAR WHEEL BEARINGS HAVE BEEN REPLACED. THE FIRST WHEN THE VEHICLE HAD ONLY 36,000 PLUS OR MINUS A THOUSAND OR TWO AND THE OTHER WHEN WE ONLY HAD 60,000 MILES ON VEHICLE. THIS IS EXPENSIVE AND SHOULD NOT GO BAD IN THAT SHORT OF TIME. WE DO NOT PULL ANYTHING WITH THE VEHICLE OR DRIVE IT ROUGH.

DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE INSTRUMENT PANEL STOPPED WORKING. THE ODOMETER DROPPED TO ZERO WHILE I MAINTAINED A STEADY SPEED ALONG WITH GAUGE MEASURING RPM. OD DATA ERROR MESSAGE APPEARED. AIRBAG LIGHT AND TIRE PRESSURE LIGHTS CAME ON AS WELL. THE ACCELERATION IMMEDIATELY DID NOT FEEL RIGHT. FROM A STOP I HAD VERY WEAK ACCELERATION ALMOST NONE. IT IMPROVED AS I DROVE BUT DID NOT FEEL NORMAL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE SPEED DECREASED INDEPENDENTLY, THE GAUGES ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FAILED, AND THE WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED.

REAR TURN SIGNAL AND BRAKE LIGHT OVERHEATED AND STARTED TO MELT THE BULB AND CONNECTORS. *TR

THE LEFT REAR TURN SIGNAL STOPPED WORKING. AFTER SEARCHING ONLINE I DISCOVERED IT WAS A COMMONLY REPORTED PROBLEM. UPON REMOVING THE LENS ASSEMBLY I NOTICED THE SAME THING OTHERS ARE REPORTING. THE PLASTIC BASE OF THE BULB IS MELTED. THE BULB IS STILL GOOD HOWEVER. THE BULB SOCKET IS CHARRED OBVIOUSLY FROM EXCESSIVE HEAT. NOTHING ELSE INCLUDING THE RUBBER GASKET AROUND THE SOCKET SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN AFFECTED BY THIS HEAT. *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING, TWO OR THREE WARNING LIGHT ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CAME ON, THE CAR LOST ALL POWER. I WOULD ONLY GO FORWARD WITH THE GAS PETAL PUSHED TO THE FLOOR. IT'S A KNOWN ISSUE, FOUND OUT FROM YOUTUBE MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME EXACT ISSUE. IT'S AN INTERMITTENT ISSUE THAT HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS ON THE ROAD CREATING A HAZARDOUS SITUATION FOR EVERYONE. HERE IS WHAT IS KNOWN ABOUT THIS ISSUE. TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN 07-3-11 6F50 TRANSAXLES BUILT PRIOR TO 1/1/2007 - DTC P0715, P0717, P0718, P0720, P0721, P0722 AND/OR HARSH ENGAGEMENT, NO UPSHIFT, FIFTH GEAR ONLY. SOME 2007 EDGE AND MKX VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH A 6F50 TRANSAXLE WITH A TRANSAXLE BUILD DATE PRIOR TO 1/1/2007, WITH ANY OUTPUT SHAFT SPEED (OSS) SENSOR OR TURBINE SHAFT SPEED (TSS) SENSOR DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE(S) (DTCS) P0715, P0717, P0718, P0720, P0721, P0722 AND/OR HARSH ENGAGEMENTS, NO UPSHIFT, FIFTH GEAR ONLY, COULD HAVE AN INTERMITTENT SHORT IN THE OSS OR TSS SENSOR. FORD KNOWS ABOUT THIS FLAW AND COMMON PROBLEM AND THERE IS A TSB, BUT NO RECALL. THIS IS THE PROBLEM THAT IS CAUSING THE SYMPTOMS IN THE VIDEO. *TR

DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT COMES ON SO DOORS WON'T LOCK, DOME LIGHT WON'T GO OUT AND NOTHING WILL SHOW UP ON THE DASHBOARD DISPLAY. *TR

TOOK MY VEHICLE IN EARLY FOR SERVICE AT SUNRISE BECAUSE WAS CONCERNED ABOUT LOUD SCREECHING NOISE ON BRAKES AND ERRATIC BEHAVIOR OF VEHICLE -SURGING. WHEN DRIVING. WHEN THE SERVICE TECH (TROY) OPENED THE HOOD HE ASKED EM TO GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND STAND BACK, AS THE TOP OF THE BATTERY WAS SPATTERED WITH BLACK OIL LOOKING MATERIAL AND APPARENTLY HE AND ANOTHER TECHNICIAN WERE CONCERNED IT MIGHT RUPTURE OR EXPLODE. THEY ASKED EM TO GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE, GIVE THEM THE KEYS AND THAT THEY WOULD CHECK THE VEHICLE AND ASKED ME TO WAIT. ABOUT 90 MINUTES LATER THEY CAME OUT AND SAID ALL WAS FINE, NOTHING WRONG WITH BATTERY OR BRAKES. I LEFT AND DROVE VEHICLE HOME AND SAME PROBLEMS WERE OCCURRING, I RETURNED AND AFTER CALLING AND SAYING SAME THINGS WERE OCCURRING. I HAD HPED TO SPEAK TO [XXX], WHO WAS AN AMAZING SERVICE SUPERVISOR, BUT HE WAS NOT THERE AND ANOTHER MAN WHO WAS RUDE CLAIMED THE BATTERY WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY BUT THAT IT WAS NORMAL TO HAVE OILY SLUDGE ON THE BATTERY . HE SAID IT WAS "NORMAL, BECAUSE IT WAS JUST SWEATING". HE REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING..SAID THE BRAKES NEEDED TO BE AT 3 BEFORE FORD WOULD REPLACE THEM. I ASKED THAT HE CONTACT FORD CORPORATE AND INQUIRE. HE SAID, "NO HE WOULD NOT" THE BATTERY I SHOULD ADD SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN REPEATEDLY REPLACED. I HAVE LIMITED DRIVING THE VEHICLE, EXCEPT FOR SHORT LOCAL TRIPS, AND TONIGHT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AND AAA CLAIMED THE BATTERY WAS DEFECTIVE AND CLEARLY DEAD. IT IS MOST DISTURBING WHEN FORD MISREPRESENTS THEIR WARRANTY AND REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE DEFECTS THAT HAVE BEEN PUBLISHED IN THEIR WON ALERTS. SERIOUSLY DANGEROUS! THERE ARE NUMEROUS POSTINGS OF OTHER FORD EDGE OWNERS HAVING THESE PROBLEMS. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THEIR QUESTIONABLE PROTOCOLS ON DANGERS THAT ARE KNOWN WITH THEIR VEHICLES. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE DRIVER DOOR AJAR WARNING IS ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH AND THE DOOM LIGHTS WONT TURN OFF. I HAVE FOUND OUT THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH FORDS WHERE THE POORLY DESIGNED DOOR LATCH BINDS UP. I HAD THIS SAME ISSUE WITH MY 2002 EXPLORER AND NOW WITH MY 2008 EDGE. IT BECOMES A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AT NIGHT SINCE THE DOME LIGHTS WILL NOT TURN OFF SO IT IS HARD TO SEE OUTSIDE AND COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. FROM WHAT I CAN TELL I HAVE BEEN LUCKY TO GET THIS FAR BEFORE THIS ISSUE HAS SURFACED SINCE I HAVE READ THAT FORD CARS 2 TO 3 YEARS OLD SEEM TO HAVE THIS VERY SAME ISSUE. *JS

WHEN DRIVING ALL OF A SUDDEN THE TRUCK SPEEDOMETER GOES BLANK, THE ODOMETER DROPS TO ZERO AND THE WRENCH, AIRBAG AND EVENTUALLY THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHTS ILLUMINATE. WHEN PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR THE CAR STRUGGLES TO ACCELERATE BECAUSE IT STARTS LOSING POWER. I THEN HAVE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD, TURN THE CAR OFF AND ALLOW THE CAR TO RESET ITSELF. I TURN THE CAR ON, THE LIGHTS ARE OUT BUT WHEN I TRY TO ACCELERATE THERE IS STILL LITTLE POWER SO I HAVE TO PRESS THE ACCELERATOR TO THE FLOOR AN THEN THE POWER KICKS IN AND THE CAR OPERATES NORMAL. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME 4-5 TIMES, ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS IS A SAFE HAZARD BECAUSE IT CAN POTENTIALLY CAUSE A TRAGIC ACCIDENT. *JS

THE VEHICLE SAYS "DRIVER DOOR AJAR" AT RANDOM TIMES WHEN THE DOOR ISN'T ACTUALLY OPEN (FROM DOING NOTHING MORE THAN OPENING AND CLOSING THE DOOR, ROLLING DOWN THE WINDOW, LOCKING THE DOORS, ETC.). WHILE THIS MAY SEEM MORE LIKE A HASSLE THAN A SAFETY ISSUE, IT IS TOO AN ISSUE OF SAFETY. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN "DOOR AJAR" MODE THE DOME LIGHTS COME ON. THIS IS DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN "DOOR AJAR" MODE, THE CAR WILL NOT LOCK. PEOPLE NEED TO BE ABLE TO LOCK THEIR VEHICLE FOR SAFETY REASONS THAT I PROBABLY DON'T NEED TO SPELL OUT. I'VE READ A FEW FORD FORUMS, WITH NUMEROUS PEOPLE DISCUSSING THIS SAME ISSUE. WHY HASN'T THEIR BEEN A RECALL TO ADDRESS THIS? *TR

REAR BULBS FAILURE CHANGED 4 TIMES SINCE 6/01/2014 LAST CHANGE 10/24/2014 BOTH SOCKETS BLACK AND BURNED HAVEN'T CHANGED SOCKETS. *TR

DOOR AJAR ICON ON ALL DOORS CLOSED DOME LIGHTS ONLY GO OFF WHEN CAR IS IN MOTION HOWEVER IF YOU HIT BRAKES AS IF YOUR GOING TO STOP DOME LIGHTS COME BACK ON . *TR

LEFT REAR TURN/TAIL LIGHT IS CONTINUALLY NOT WORKING. I REPLACE THE BULB, THINKING THAT WOULD CORRECT THE ISSUE BUT AS IT TURNED THE BULB MELTED INTO THE SOCKET WHICH HAD TO BE REPLACED. I'VE REPLACED THE SOCKET/CONNECTOR 2X AND NOW IT'S LOOKS LIKE REPLACEMENT #3 IS INEVITABLE. I RESEARCHED THE INTERNET FOR SIMILAR COMPLAINTS AND FOUND SEVERAL POSTINGS OF THE SAME PROBLEM. CAN ANYONE TELL ME IF THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE? IF NOT, THERE SHOULD BE ONE! *TR

DRIVING HOME WITH 2 BABIES UNDER THE AGE OF 3 IN MY CAR THE AIRBAG AND WRENCH LIGHT FLASHED AND ODOMETER HAD DASHES. CAR BEGAN TO LOSE POWER I COULD NOT ACCELERATE. TURNED THE CAR OFF WENT TO PUT IT INTO REVERSE AND THE WHOLE CAR JUMPED. I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS BEFORE WITH THE CAR JERKING WHEN GOING LOW SPEEDS. THIS IS SO BAD. CAN NOT PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE WITHOUT A LOUD CLUNK. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE SERVICE ENGINE AND SEAT BELT SENSORS SUDDENLY ILLUMINATED. A MESSAGE DISPLAYED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL INDICATING "DATA ERROR". THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE SPEEDOMETER STOPPED OPERATING DURING THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE OPERATED NORMALLY ONCE THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURES SOON RECURRED. THE DEALER STATED THAT MULTIPLE SENSORS WERE FAULTY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 64,000.

GAUGES ON DASH STOP WORKING. TOOL SYMBOL SHOWS UP ALSO TIRE PRESSURE WARNING AND EXCLAMATION MARK. CARSTARTS TO SLOW DOWN. WHEN CAR IS PUT IN REVERSE IT MAKES A LOUD CLUCKING NOISE. LIKE THE MOTOR IS GONNA FALL OUT. CAN'T DRIVE IT FORWARD BUT U CAN GO IN REVERSE. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. IF YOU LET THE CAR SIT FOR A FEW DAYS IT GOES BACK TO NORMAL. THIS HAS TO BE A SERIOUS PROBLEM BECAUSE LOTS OF PEOPLE ON YOUTUBE HAVE POSTED VIDEOS OF THE SAME PROBLEM! NOW I'M STUCK OVER 100 MILES AWAY FROM HOME. NOT COOL FORD!!!!! *TR

THREE DAYS AFTER PASSING MY ANNUAL TEXAS STATE INSPECTION WHILE DRIVING THROUGH TOWN I INITIATED MY LEFT TURN SIGNAL ONLY TO HAVE THE INDICATOR BLINK VERY QUICKLY (NOT THE NORMAL TICK-TICK-TICK BLINK). THIS HAD HAPPENED A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO SO I KNEW ONE OF THE BULBS HAD BURNED OUT ON THE LEFT SIDE. I WENT TO THE LOCAL AUTO PARTS STORE, PURCHASED REPLACEMENT TAIL LIGHT BULBS & BULB GREASE AND ASKED IF THEY COULD CHANGE IT OUT FOR ME. UPON REMOVING THE COVERS, THE YOUNG MAN DISCOVERED A FRIED/MELTED ASSEMBLY. THERE IS NO WAY TO REMOVE THE BULB IT IS SO MELTED IN THE SOCKET AND THE SOCKET IS DISCOLORED FROM THE HEAT. THAT MUST HAVE BEEN SOME POWER SURGE TO DO THAT KIND OF DAMAGE. *TR

THE "DRIVER DOOR AJAR" MESSAGE CONTINUES TO GO OFF ON OUR 2008 FORD EDGE. THE DOOR IS SECURELY CLOSED. THE LIGHTS WILL STAY ON FINALLY CAUSING A COMPLETE DRAIN ON OUR BATTERY LAST NIGHT DURING THE NIGHT. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY CONCERN AS THE DOORS DO NOT LOCK SOMETIME UNTIL SEVERAL MILES DOWN THE ROAD. WE COULD ALSO BE LEFT STRANDED SOMEWHERE AS WE NEVER KNOW WHEN IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN. WE GO TO BED ALL LIGHTS ARE OFF AND SOMETIME DURING THE NIGHT THEY COME ON. WE HAVE TRIED SEVERAL SUGGESTIONS REGARDING ENGINE LUBRICANT ON THE PLUNGER, BUT IT IS A TEMP FIX AT BEST. THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE IT FIXED BY FORD. CLEARLY IF YOU DO RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH THE FORD EDGES FOR SEVERAL YEARS.

I HAVE A 2008 FORD EDGE SEL. WHEN TURNING ON MY LEFT BLINKER IT WAS BLINKING RAPIDLY WHICH I KNEW INDICATED A LIGHT WAS OUT. I FOUND THAT IT WAS MY DRIVER SIDE REAR BLINKER/TAIL LIGHT. I WENT TO THE STORE AND PURCHASED THE BULB. WHEN I GOT HOME TO REPLACE IT I FOUND THAT I COULD NOT REMOVE THE BULB AS THE SOCKET HAS MELTED. I SEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND THAT THIS IS COMMON FOR THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE. *TR

MAKING A LEFT TURN USING MY TURN SIGNAL, THE TURN SIGNAL LAMP ON THE DASHBOARD STARTED TO FLASH VERY RAPIDLY. I RECOGNIZED THIS AS A BURNED-OUT LAMP. AFTER STOPPING I CHECKED TO FIND THE LEFT REAR LAMP WAS NOT BLINKING. THE BASIC RUNNING LIGHT WORKED HOWEVER. UPON REMOVING THE ASSEMBLY, I FOUND THE LAMP SOCKET PARTIALLY MELTED AND CHARRED. I REMOVED THE LAMP, WHICH TESTED OUT TO BE GOOD. THE SOCKET HAD FAILED. I THEN REMOVED THE RIGHT-HAND REAR LAMP ASSEMBLY AND FOUND THAT IT HAS BEEN VERY HOT AS WAS SOMEWHAT CHARRED. I WILL REPLACE BOTH. *TR

DRIVERS SIDE REAR TURN SIGNAL BULB BURNT OUT. WHEN REPLACED IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT BOTH REAR LIGHT SOCKETS WERE BURNT BLACK AND BEGINNING TO MELT. THE MECHANIC REPLACING THE BULBS INFORMED ME THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH FORD EDGES. *JS

HERE IS THE LINK TO AN EXACT DETAILED EXPLANATION. WHEN I LOST POWER MY CAR ROLLED INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION AND WAS HIT. HTTP://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=LDWPAFPVU0O3. *TR

DRIVER DOOR SAYS AJAR AND THE DOOR IS CLOSED. LIGHTS WON'T GO OFF. *TR

I HAVE A 2008 FORD EDGE PURCHASED IN 2011 6 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE ALL OF THE LIGHTS CAME ON IN VEHICLE AND THE CAR WAS STALLING. IT WOULD REV UP BUT IT WAS UNABLE TO PICK UP SPEED. I TOOK IT CAR DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND PROBLEM. AFTER THE CAR SAT FOR A WHILE IT STARTED WORKING FINE. A COUPLE OF MONTHS LATER AGAIN THE SAME PROBLEM WE TOWED IT TO DEALER AND THEY SAID THE SAME THING THEY COULD NOT DETECT THE PROBLEM. THIS IS CONTINUING TO HAPPEN. AGAIN TODAY DEC 2013 WHILE DRIVING THE CAR STARTED REVVING AND WOULD NOT PICK UP SPEED. I REALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO AT THIS POINT. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER FORD AGAIN AND WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT I COULD DO ABOUT THIS ISSUE. I HAVE GOOGLED THIS ISSUE AND SEE THAT THERE ARE SEVERAL PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

DRIVERS REAR TURN SIGNAL MELTED . BULB BURNT. *TR

MY WIFE AND I PURCHASED OUR FORD EDGE USED FROM A DEALER, IT IS THE LIMITED MODEL. DROVE THE CAR FOR A FEW DAYS AFTER OUR PURCHASE AND EVERYTHING SEEMED FINE. ON THE THIRD DAY I NOTICED MY DRIVERS SIDE REAR INDICATOR LAMP WASN'T WORKING. ON INSPECTION THE BULB AND SOCKET WERE MELTED TOGETHER AND I WAS UNABLE TO REMOVE THE BULB. BOTH FILAMENTS IN THE BULB WERE IN-TACT. THE FAILURE APPEARED TO BE RELATED TO THE SOCKET GETTING SO HOT THAT IT ACTUALLY MELTED AND FAILED. I HAVE NOT CHECKED THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE BUT I'M ASSUMING I WILL FIND A BURNED SOCKET. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE DOORS UNLOCKED UNEXPECTEDLY AND THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER AND THE MECHANIC STATED THE DOOR LOCK ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 67,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 68,400. UPDATED 12/23/13*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE DOORS WOULD NOT STAY LOCKED. HE WOULD LOCK THEM, AND THEY WOULD UNLOCK AGAIN. ALSO, THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WOULD STAY ON. THE CONSUMER HAD TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY. UPDATED 12/24/13

REAR DRIVERS SIDE TURN SIGNAL LAMP WENT OUT, WHEN I WENT TO REPLACE BULB I NOTICED REAR TAIL LAMP TURN SIGNAL-PARKING LAMP SOCKETS ARE BURNT AND WOULD SEEM TO BE A POSSIBLE FIRE HAZARD, OTHER PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT OTHER FORD VEHICLES WITH THE SAME CONDITION. BUT FORD DOESN'T SEEM TO THINK THERE IS A PROBLEM. *TR

WHEN USING THE CORRECT BULBS AS LISTED BY FORD, BOTH REAR TAIL LIGHT BULBS CONTINUE TO MELT/BURN IN THEIR SOCKETS CAUSING FREQUENT BULB FAILURE, SMOLDERING OF THE SOCKET, AND SMALL FIRE WITHOUT WARNING! DO A SIMPLE ONLINE SEARCH AND YOU WILL SEE HOW COMMON AN ISSUE IT IS AMONGST 2008 FORD EDGE OWNERS, YET FORD DENIES ALL CLAIMS! *TR

WHEN REPLACING MY LEFT REAR SIGNAL LIGHT I NOTICED THAT THE BASE OF THE TURN SIGNAL BULB WAS MELTED. I REMOVED THE BULB AND REPLACED WITH A NEW ONE AND THE TURN SIGNAL WORKED FINE. EVEN THOUGH THE RIGHT REAR SIGNAL LIGHT WAS WORKING, I WENT TO REPLACE IT AS WELL AND NOTICED THAT IT TOO HAD A MELTED BULB BASE. *TR

UPON DRIVING HOME NOTED MY LEFT TURN SIGNAL WAS BLINKING QUICKLY - WHICH I ASSUMED (AND FOUND TO BE CORRECT THAT THE BULB WAS OUT. UPON ARRIVING HOME, I CHECK THE LIGHTS. IT WAS DIFFICULT TO SEE, HOWEVER, I FOUND THE LIGHT BULB FOR REAR/BACKUP, AND TURN SIGNAL WAS OUT, AND THEN NOTED THAT MY LEFT READ LAMP/BULB (LARGER) BULB WAS BLACK, MELTED, AND REQUIRED PLYERS TO REMOVE FROM SOCKET. IT APPEARED TO OVERHEAD/MELT. REPLACEMENT BULB DID WORK, BUT UNCERTAIN AS TO THE USE OF THE BLACKENED SOCKET. REAR BRAKE/TAIL LIGHT SOCKET ON THE LEFT REAR OF VEHICLE HAS OVERHEATED AND MELTED THE PLASTIC AROUND LAMP. LAMP WAS BURNT OUT. NOT SURE WHAT CAUSED THE HIGH HEAT PROBLEM. NO FUSE WAS BLOWN, NEW BULB WORKED IN SOCKET. *TR

REAR BRAKE/TAIL LIGHT SOCKET ON BOTH THE LEFT AND RIGHT REAR OF VEHICLE HAVE OVERHEATED AND MELTED THE PLASTIC AROUND LAMP. LAMP WAS BURNT OUT. NOT SURE WHAT CAUSED THE HIGH HEAT PROBLEM. NO FUSE WAS BLOWN, NEW BULB WORKED IN SOCKET. THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED TWICE IN THE LAST TWO MONTHS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY JERKED AND ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE DRIVEN TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE COMPUTER SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE RESET. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND A COMPLAINT WAS FILED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 41,800. *TR

TAIL LIGHTS BURN UP, MELT. SOCKETS ARE BURNED BLACK...... *TR

MELTED REAR TURN SIGNAL SOCKET. IT IS THE SECOND TIME I HAVE TO CHANGE THE LIGHT BULB AND SOCKET. THIS IS DANGEROUS! *TR

REAR TAIL LIGHT SOCKET IS MELTED. *TR

I NOTICED AT A STOP LIGHT, WHEN MAKING A LEFT TURN, THE INSIDE INDICATOR WAS BLINKING FAST, TELLING ME I HAD AN ISSUE. ONCE HOME, I CHECKED MY TURN SIGNALS, DRIVER SIDE WAS NOT WORKING AT ALL. HAD MY SON CHANGE THE BULB AND FOUND THE PLASTIC AT THE BASE OF THE BULB WAS SEVERELY MELTED. THE SOCKET WAS DARKENED BUT STILL IN WORKING ORDER, REPLACED THE BULB AND IS WORKING FOR NOW. WENT TO FORD DEALER THAT I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE FROM AND THEY SAID THEY KNEW NOTHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE WITH OTHER EDGE'S. (WHAT EVER !) I WANTED THEM TO LOOK AND THE SOCKET AND HARNESS BUT THEY WANTED $98.00 JUST TO "CHECK IT OUT". AND OF COURSE, I'M OUT OF THE 30 MONTH / 36K WARRANTY. GOOD THING I CARRY FULL COVERAGE, BECAUSE IF THE CAR BURNS TO THE GROUND, YOU CAN BET I WON'T BE BUYING ANOTHER FORD. *TR

REAR TAIL LIGHTS STOPPED WORKING. UPON INSPECTION THE BULB CONNECTOR AND SOCKET HAD OVER HEATED AND MELTED. *TR

BURNT OUT TURN SIGNAL BULB. UPON INSTALLATION OF NEW BULB I FOUND THE SOCKET TO BE MELTED ON BOTH SIDES. TOOK CAR INTO FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY REPLACED THE SOCKETS AND INSERTED NEW BULBS. A FEW MONTHS LATER ANOTHER BURNT BULB WITH DISCOLORED SOCKETS. CHANGED BULB AGAIN. NOW I'M UP TO ABOUT 6 BULB CHANGES WITH 4 BEING DONE BY THE DEALER. *TR

I OWN A 2008 FORD EDGE. I HAVE HAD IT FOR JUST OVER 30 DAYS AND HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH IT SINCE THE WEEK THAT I PURCHASED IT. I HAVE HAD IT TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY ARE TELLING ME THAT SINCE THERE ARE NO CODES READING OUT AND NO LIGHT ON AND THAT THEY CANT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM THAT THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. I AM SUPPOSED TO MONITOR AND CALL BACK WITH WORSE SYMPTOMS. I CALLED THEM IN THURSDAY BECAUSE I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK AND MY CAR SKIPPED THE WHOLE WAY UP A HILL ON THE HIGHWAY AND WHEN I GOT TO THE TOP OF IT MY CAR COMPLETELY POWERED DOWN AND SHUT OFF WITH THE KEY STILL IN THE IGNITION AND IN THE IN POSITION. I HAD TO GET OFF THE ROAD VERY QUICKLY TO AVOID BEING HIT BY A 18 WHEELER. I AM HAPPY THAT MY CHILD WAS NOT IN THE CAR BUT I AM NOW SCARED FOR MY FAMILY AND MY SAFETY AS WELL AS OTHERS. SEVERELY UNHAPPY WITH THIS VEHICLE!!!!! *TR

THE AUDIO SYSTEM IN MY 2008 EDGE CONTAINS A GPS AND SIRIUS SATELLITE RADIO AS WELL AS THE NORMAL OPTIONS. ONE MORNING, THE SIRIUS RADIO RECEPTION WAS DEGRADED TO THE POINT THAT THE SIGNAL COULD ONLY BE HEARD WEAKLY AT FULL VOLUME. I WORKED THROUGH THE DIAGNOSTICS WITH SIRIUS AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS A FORD HARDWARE PROBLEM. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE FORD DEALER, WHO CHARGED ME $98 TO RUN A DIAGNOSTIC THAT POINTED TO A BROKEN ANTENNA MOUNT ASSEMBLY, WITH A PRICE TAG OF $600 BEFORE LABOR. I DID NOT ACCEPT THE OFFER. TWO WEEKS LATER, THE PROBLEM SUDDENLY RESOLVED ITSELF AND RECEPTION RETURNED TO NORMAL. AT NO TIME DURING THIS PROCESS DID I MESS WITH THE CONNECTIONS TO THE RECEIVER (IN THE SPARE TIRE COMPARTMENT) OR THE "ANTENNA" THAT SITS ON THE SPOILER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS BEING EXAMINED BY AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE WHEN SHE WAS INFORMED THAT THE BATTERY WAS CORRODED. AS TIME PROGRESSED, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START ON FIVE OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER, BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6,000. UPDATED 07/06/12 *BF UPDATED 07/12/12

MELTED REAR DIRECTIONAL SOCKET. IT IS THE THIRD TIME I HAVE TO CHANGE THE LIGHT BULB. *TR

REPEATED ISSUE WITH THE BULBS IN TAIL LIGHTS BURNING THE SOCKETS, BULBS BURN OUT CAUSING THE SOCKET TO GET A SINGED APPEARANCE WHERE THE BULB FITS. BULB IS PROPRIETARY TO FORD SO IT HAS TO BE TAKEN IN AND THEY REFUSED TO REPLACE THE SOCKET A SECOND TIME. ADVISED AT ONE POINT THAT IT COULD CAUSE GETTING A TICKET OR REAR ENDED AND INJURIES. AT THAT POINT THEY CHANGED IT OUT THE FIRST TIME. BUT STILL HAD THE BULB BURN OUT. THE BULB HAS BEEN CHANGED ABOUT 6 TIMES NOW AND STILL HAVING PROBLEMS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED WHEN INFORMED THAT DENSE SMOKE WAS EMITTING FROM UNDER THE HOOD NEAR THE BATTERY. THE FIRE WAS EXTINGUISHED BY A NEIGHBOR AND THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ABS WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED PRIOR TO THE FIRE. THE VEHICLE WOULD NO LONGER OPERATE AND WAS TOWED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHO REPLACED UNKNOWN MODULES AND THE WIRING HARNESS. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND WAS AWAITING A RESPONSE. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 68,000.

PURCHASED 2008 FORD EDGE LIMITED IN AUGUST '10. 1 PREVIOUS OWNER, 26K, MINT CONDITION. SUPPOSEDLY BATTERY WAS REPLACED UPON PURCHASE. WITHIN 1 WEEK AFTER PURCHASE UP UNTIL PRESENT DATE, NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS/COMMENTS WERE PLACED TO 2 DIFFERENT FORD DEALERSHIPS REGARDING A 'HICCUP' WHILE THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY AND IDLING (RANDOM AND INTERMITTENT). 1 DEALERSHIP SERVICED THE CAR END OF AUGUST AND FOUND NO PROBLEM. 2ND DEALERSHIP SERVICED VEHICLE ON OCTOBER 13 AND 14 AND COULDN'T FIND PROBLEM. VEHICLE BROKE DOWN 1ST TIME THE DAY AFTER IT HAD BEEN SERVICED, OCTOBER 15TH- LOST COMPLETE ACCELERATION BUT NOT BATTERY POWER. NOTICED WRENCH LIGHT AND AIRBAG LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED ON DASHBOARD AS WELL AS "ODO...ERROR". TURNED CAR OFF AND THEN ON AND WHEN PLACED IN 'DRIVE', HEARD A LOUD NOISE AND CAR JERKED, NO ACCELERATION, SAME SITUATION WHEN CAR PLACED IN PARK. DEALERSHIP INSPECTED VEHICLE AND STATED THAT BATTERY TERMINALS WERE COMPLETELY LOOSE (MECHANIC NEVER TIGHTENED TERMINALS UPON REPLACEMENT OF BATTERY AND DEALERSHIP ADMITTED LIABILITY/NEGLIGENCE) AND 'SEVERELY' CORRODED. SINCE 1ST BREAK DOWN, SAME HICCUP (RANDOM, INTERMITTENT) IS FELT AND MORE COMPLAINTS/COMMENTS WERE PLACED TO BOTH DEALERSHIPS. CAR WAS SCHEDULED TO GO BACK FOR ANOTHER SERVICE VISIT FOR COMPLAINT BUT VEHICLE BROKE DOWN FOR 2ND TIME PRIOR TO SERVICE DATE WITH DEALERSHIP.NOVEMBER 19TH, VEHICLE LOST ACCELERATION, WRENCH AND AIRBAG LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED ON DASHBOARD AND 'ODO...ERROR". ATTEMPTED TO PLACE VEHICLE IN REVERSE AND LOUD NOISE WAS HEARD, VEHICLE JERKED AND WHEN VEHICLE WAS PLACED IN PARK, SAME NOISE AND JERK. PRESENTLY THE VEHICLE IS BACK WITH THE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE. *TR

DASH CLUSTER (SPEEDOMETER) IS NOT VISIBLE DURING CERTAIN TIMES OF THE DAY WHILE DRIVING CREATING A SAFETY HAZARD. BACKGROUND ON VEHICLE CLUSTER IS SILVER AND THE ILLUMINATED NUMBERS ARE NEON GREEN. WHEN LIGHTS ARE REQUIRED FOR DRIVING DURING DUSK, THE NUMBERS DISAPPEAR FROM VIEW. THERE ARE TIMES THAT WE LEAVE OUR LIGHTS OFF WHEN THEY ARE NEEDED BECAUSE IT IS EASIER TO SEE THE DASH INSTRUMENTS. IF WE TURNED ON THE LIGHTS, THE NUMBERS WOULD DISAPPEAR AND WE WOULDN'T KNOW HOW FAST WE WERE TRAVELING. EVEN DURING NIGHT DRIVING THE NUMBERS ARE ONLY SOFTLY ILLUMINATED. BROUGHT BACK TO DEALER THREE TIMES TO HAVE THIS CORRECTED BUT THEY SAY THEY CANNOT TOUCH THE ODOMETER AREA OR CHANGE THE COLOR DUE TO FEDERAL REGULATIONS. THEY SAY THAT THE PART MUST MATCH THE ORIGINAL VIN NUMBER. WE FEEL IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. OUR DEALER IS WILLING TO WORK WITH US BUT FORD WILL NOT. THE CAR IS BRAND NEW (ONLY 6,000 MILES ON IT). AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH WE HAVE FOUND THAT THERE ARE THREE DIFFERENT DASH CLUSTERS FOR THIS VEHICLE. ALL WE WANT IS ONE THAT IMPROVES OUR SAFETY AND HAS BETTER VISIBILITY. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT ANY PRIOR WARNINGS. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER AND THE BATTERY WAS RECHARGED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7,800 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 8,000.

VEHICLE STALLS WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE 18 MONTHS. THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES. TWICE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND ONCE ON A LOCAL STREET. THE FIRST EVENT THE VEHICLE HAD APPROX 2K MILES. THEN AGAIN AT APPROX 12K AND 14K. WHEN IT HAPPENS THE DASH GOES DARK, YOU LOSE ALL POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. VEHICLE CAN BE RESTARTED IN NEUTRAL WHILE MOVING. DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN UNABLE TO RECREATE THE PROBLEM. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD EDGE. WHENEVER IT IS DARK OR CLOUDY, THE CONTACT IS UNABLE TO READ THE NUMBERS ON THE SPEEDOMETER. THE FAILURE HAS OCCURRED EVER SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT DOES NOT KNOW HOW FAST HE IS DRIVING. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER, BUT THEY DID NOT ASSIST IN REMEDYING THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT PURCHASED AN ANGLE MIRROR IN AN ATTEMPT TO HAVE THE LIGHT REFLECT OFF OF IT; HOWEVER, THAT DID NOT HELP. HE BELIEVES THAT IT NEEDED TO BE MANUFACTURED DIFFERENTLY BECAUSE ON DAYS WITHOUT BRIGHT SUN LIGHT, IT IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO DETERMINE HOW FAST HE IS DRIVING. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 1,600. UPDATED 11/6/08 *CN UPDATED 11/10/08. *JB
