2010 Ford Edge

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2010 FORD EDGE. WHILE STATIONARY, THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE REVERSE POSITION AND THE KEYS WERE REMOVED FROM THE VEHICLE; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE ROLLED BACKWARDS INTO A POND. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED FROM THE POND TO THE CONTACT'S DRIVEWAY. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 91,000.

WHEN PULLING AWAY FROM A DEAD STOP ,THE TRANSMISSION WILL OCCASIONALLY NOT ENGAGE WHICH FEELS LIKE IT IS GOING INTO A "NEUTRAL" FEELING AND THEN WILL BANG INTO GEAR . IT ALSO FEELS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION WILL SLIP OUT GEAR AND THEN REENGAGE WHILE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. LAST THE ACCELERATION IS NOT THERE WHEN MERGING INTO HIGHWAY SPEEDS OR JUST ACCELERATING ,THE GAS PEDDLE IS PUSHED BUT THE CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE CAUSING A RISKY SITUATION WHEN TRAFFIC IS BEARING DOWN ON YOU AND YOU CAN NOT GET SAFELY UP TO HIGHWAY SPEEDS.

DEC 17,2016 A SEVERE JERKING WHILE DRIVING ON A VILLAGE MAIN ST. WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. I STOPPED CAR, GOT CAR MANUAL, SAW THAT IT WAS POWER TRAIN PROBLEM. I BEGAN GOOGLING AND WILL SEE MY MECHANIC ON MONDAY. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED ABOUT 3WKS AGO I LOST DRIVING POWER AND DROVE MY WIFE TO WORK ON IDLE POWER. WHEN I GOT HOME I SHUT OFF CAR AND STARTED AGAIN AND IT WORKED OK (EXCEPT FOR MILD JERKING) UNTIL NOW (3WKS LATER). MY MECHANIC SAID (AFTER 1ST INCIDENT) THAT IT WAS A THROTTLE PROBLEM, ALTHOUGH HE FOUND NO CODE ERROR. MY WIFE AND I LOVE THIS CAR AND SO DO OUR LITTLE NIECE AND NEPHEW, BUT IT IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. WE JUST GOT BACK FROM TEXAS (4000 MI) BEFORE ALL THIS HAPPENED AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE. MY NEXT STEP WILL BE TO WRITE TO OUR AUTHORITIES BECAUSE THIS SEEMS TO BE A DANGEROUS NATIONAL PROBLEM. ALL THOSE AFFECTED SHOULD DO THE SAME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS VIOLENTLY DEPRESSED IN ORDER FOR THE VEHICLE TO INCREASE IN SPEED. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE HESITATED WHEN SHIFTING GEARS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 41,000.

I WAS DRIVING UP HILL AT 40MPH, I FIRST NOTICED MY RPMS DROPPING, THEN MY SPEED. CAME HOME AND CALLED DEALERSHIP, AS MY VEHICLE IS UNDER WARRANTY, CAR WAS TOWED TO FAIRFIELD FORD. THEY CALLED LATER TO TELL ME IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY AND HE TOOK IT APART AND CLEANED IT. HE SAID AT THIS TIME, IT WAS FINE. OF COURSE, THIS WAS THE ONE THING NOT COVERED BY THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. WITHIN 2 WEEKS, THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. IT WAS INTERMITTENT. SO I HAD MY MECHANIC REPLACE THE PART. *TR

FOUND A TRANSMISSION LEAK ON THE FLOOR OF GARAGE. TOOK TO LOCAL TRANSMISSION MECHANIC WHERE HE DETERMINED THAT THE POWER TRANSFER UNIT REQUIRED TO BE REPLACED. AFTER A REVIEW OF THE INTERNET, FOUND THIS TO BE A PROBLEMATIC ISSUE WITH THE FORD EDGE. COMMUNICATED WITH FORD, HOWEVER NO ASSISTANCE ON MY $1,569.91 COST WAS PROVIDED ...UPDATED 03/31/15 *BF *TR

VEHICLE DEVELOPED A CLANKING / CLUNKING SOUND. FELT LIKE IT WAS DRAGGING SOMETHING VERY HEAVY, AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHIFT POINTS SEEMED TO BE DELAYED AND SHIFTING TO A HIGHER GEAR HAPPENED AT A VERY HIGH RPM. STOPPED VEHICLE AND TURNED IT OFF. NOISES WENT AWAY AFTER RESTARTING, BUT ACCELERATION WAS VERY SLUGGISH AND IT DIDN'T SHIFT TO A HIGHER GEAR UNTIL A VERY HIGH RPM, THE GAS PEDAL HAD TO BE PUSHED TO THE FLOOR. TOOK IT TO A REPAIR SHOP AND IT WAS TEST DRIVEN AND PUT ON THE LIFT. CHECKED FOR ANY MALFUNCTION CODES. THE MECHANIC COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE. *TR
