2008 FORD EDGE Complaints

THE MECHANIC SAID THE TRANSMISSION AND TRANSFER CASE EXPLODED COSTING ME OVER $2,000 IN REPAIRS. THE AC QUIT COSTING AROUND $700 IN REPAIRS. THE CD/RADIO HAS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE THAT HAS NOT BEEN FIXED BECAUSE I CAN'T AFFORD IT ESTIMATED AT ANOTHER$700 IN REPAIRS. *TR

THE WINDSHIELD IS SET AT SUCH AN ANGLE THAT THE DASHBOARD IS REFLECTED ON TO IT. IT'S DISTRACTING, AND ANNOYING. I GET AROUND THE ISSUE BY WEARING SUNGLASSES. I DON'T USUALLY NEED THEM OTHERWISE. *TR

RIGHT AFTER I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE, I NOTICED THAT IT HAD A BAD JERK, AND CHUGGING IN THE TRANSMISSION. WITH THE OVERDRIVE "OFF", IT KEEPS THE RPM'S ABOVE 2000, AND PREVENTS IT FROM CHUGGING AND JERKING IN THE TRANSMISSION. WITH THE OVERDRIVE ON IT GEARS DOWN EXTREMELY LOW AFTER GOING DOWN TO 2000 RPM'S, AND LOSSES A LOT OF POWER. WHEN PRESSING DOWN THE GAS PEDAL, IT CHUGS AND JERKS SEVERELY. I HAVE TO LET OFF THE GAS AND THEN REAPPLY THE GAS TO STOP IT FROM JERKING. ALSO, THE POWER STEERING POPS AND MAKES NOISES. I GOT IN THE CAR TODAY AND HAD NO BRAKE POWER AT ALL. THEN HAD NO BRAKES UNLESS I PUSHED THE BRAKE PEDAL DOWN WITH EXTREME FORCE. AND IT WAS STILL EXTREMELY HARD TO STOP MY VEHICLE. UPON SEARCHING ONLINE, I AM FINDING THAT THESE ARE VERY COMMON ISSUES WITH THE 2008 FORD EDGE VEHICLES. THERE SHOULD BE SOME TYPE OF RECALL ON THIS MODEL OF FORD EDGE WHEN THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM, IN MY OPINION. I DID A SEARCH FOR MY VIN NUMBER AND IT SHOWS "NO" RECALLS FOR MY VEHICLE. I UNDERSTAND IT'D NOT A NEW VEHICLE, BUT THE AMOUNT OF ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE IS RIDICULOUS. PLEASE HELP!!! *TR

I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET MY AIRBAG RECALL TAKEN CARE OF ON MY FORD EDGE FOR OVER A YEAR NOW, POSSIBLY TWO. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY FORD HAS ONLY IDENTIFIED ONE DEALERSHIP IN NORTHERN NEVADA AS AUTHORIZED TO DO THIS WORK. IT HAS CREATED VERY LONG WAIT TIMES AND IN THE MEANTIME, THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY IS AT RISK. FORD SHOULD BE HELD LIABLE FOR ALL PERSONAL INJURIES UNTIL THE ISSUE IS FIXED, ESPECIALLY IN SITUATIONS WHEN RECALL WORK IS BEING HINDERED BY FORD'S BUSINESS PRACTICES. I CONTINUE TO GET LETTERS FROM FORD TELLING ME THAT THEY ARE CONCERNED ABOUT MY SAFETY AND THAT I NEED TO GET MY AIRBAG SERVICED, HOWEVER, I AM NOT ABLE TO DO SO BECAUSE OF THE UNACCEPTABLE BACKLOG DUE TO THE LIMITED NUMBER OF FORD DEALERSHIPS THAT ARE AUTHORIZED TO DO THIS WORK IN OUR REGION. I BELIEVE THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL STARTED AROUND 2015 AND HERE WE ARE 5 YEARS LATER STILL STRUGGLING TO GET AIRBAGS REPLACED. I AM NEVER GOING TO BUY ANOTHER FORD AGAIN! OTHER MANUFACTURERS SEEM TO BE ABLE TO HELP THEIR CUSTOMERS IN A MUCH MORE EXPEDIENT MANNOR.

SPEEDOMETER DROPPED TO 0 WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON CAR HAD ALMOST NO POWER MADE LOUD NOISE THEN AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND TIRE PRESSURE WARNING.

PCM MELTED 2 IGNITION COILS, HAD TO HAVE NEW COMPUTER INSTALLED $3000. ODOMETER WAS 55,000 APPROX.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE VIBRATED ABNORMALLY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS MORE EVIDENT WHILE SLOWING THE VEHICLE TO A STOP. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. NEITHER A DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 138,000.

WHEN DRIVING THIS THE TOOL LIGHT ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON LOOSE THE ODOMETER AND IT DOESN'T WANT TO MOVE ONCE YOU STOP. THEN WHEN YOU CAN GET IT TO MOVE THE TRANSMISSION CLUNKS HARD . I ALSO LOST THE MILEAGE ON THE DASH AS WELL. AND THEN WHEN TRYING TO PULL INTO SOMEWHERE THAT HAS A SLIGHT HILL THE CAR WON'T GO FORWARD. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR A COUPLE WEEKS

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND MY CAR JUST STOPPED. ODO ERROR CAME ON. PRESSED GAS PEDAL AND NOTHING. I COULD HAVE BEEN IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. AT DEALERSHIP NOW.

OUR WATER PUMP ON OUR 2008 FORD EDGE LIMITED, SUFFERED A BREAKDOWN WHICH ALLOWED WATER TO ENTER THE ENGINE INTERNALLY. THE WATER MIXED WITH THE OIL INSIDE THE ENGINE CAUSING A COMPLETE ENGINE FAILURE. WE WERE INFORMED IT WOULD COST $7,800.00 TO INSTALL A NEW FORD ENGINE. AT THE TIME OF ENGINE FAILURE THE ODOMETER SHOWED 105,000 MILES. THE CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN IN TOWN AT A SPEED OF 35 MILES PER HOUR IN THE MONTH OF AUGUST, 2019. I NOTICED THE AIR CONDITIONING WAS BLOWING HOT AIR SO I GLANCED AT THE DASHBOARD TO SEE THE ENGINE TEMPERATURE GAUGE REGISTERING H (HOT). AT NO TIME DID THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT COME ON TO ALERT ME OF AN ENGINE PROBLEM. I HAD THE EDGE TOWED TO A GARAGE WHERE WE WERE SHOWN A BILL FOR $7,800 TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE ENGINE DUE TO THE WATER PUMP BURSTING AND LEAKING WATER INTO THE ENGINE WHICH MIXED WITH OIL IN THE ENGINE. WE BELIEVE THIS ENGINE FAILURE WAS THE DIRECT RESULT OF THE LOCATION OF THE WATER PUMP WHICH WAS "INTERNALLY" IN THE ENGINE.
