Tss/oss sensors. $90 from dealership for both sensors. Anyone can swap these with basic hand tools in a few hours. You will also need 6 qts of transmission fluid.
It was a great idea for you to take a video. My 2007 Ford Edge has done the same thing numerous times, but every time I have taken it to the dealership the staff there tell me it's one thing, charge me to fix it, then it has continued to happen. This process has been repeated at least 6-7 times and cost me a large amount of money. My car only has a little over 80,000 miles on it. After seeing this video I believe that this is a common issue with the Edge. Ford needs to address this issue in our cars so that we can have confidence in the company.
You have to get both the TSS and the OSS sensors replaced. $80 worth of parts and $800 worth of labor. This is what caused me to buy a 1966 Chevy truck, rebuild everything in it, add AC, power steering and disc brakes. Now I have simple, reliable, non computerized transportation that never needs a smog check and parts are cheap and available everywhere. Plus it is worth more that I have in it. So much for progress.
9 months since my last comment. My 2008 edge has 182,000 miles on it. Transmission issue has happened 1 time since my last post. My engine blew Christmas day. Replaced it and still driving this car, I love it.
Thanks for the video Angel and comments. We have a 2007 Ford Edge with 120,000 km and have been experiencing transmission problems since July 2014. It has been in for repair six times and is currently still in the shop with this issue escalated to Ford Canada. The latest is that the bearings and clutch cylinder are damaged and are being replaced. Gear shifting sensor was previously replaced. The powertrain (wrench) & service engine signals come on after experiencing loss of speed such as after a traffic light stop. We have to push down far on the gas pedal just to move and this is followed by rough shifting (makes a sudden jerk and loud thud sound). Everything goes back to normal for awhile when the vehicle is turned off; its like the car resets itself. Agree that this is a potential safety issue as the problem can occur at anytime and we don't trust driving the vehicle very far.
My 2008 Edge had a similar issue, but I did not get the wrench or speedo fail. I had hard shifting or would not shift. As every one else I get to the dealer and nothing would be found wrong. I dug into this myself and found a note about 2 sensors in the transmission, I convinced them to change both sensors and my transmission has been good now for months. As I understand 1 sensor is in part for the speedo and the 2nd is a pressure sensor for gear shifting. So have those sensors changed, insist on it, its your life and safety involved, not theirs.
Taking mine in tomorrow, thought it might need a whole new transmission so this is a relief. Say what you want about car brands, but this is the car I own and I will fix it and drive it. Thanks for the tips! I hope that's all it is!
Did not work. Changed out TSS SENSORS AND OSS SENSORS -> DOES NOT FIX ISSUE. IM IN PROGRESS FOR CHANGING OUT THE SLAVE CYLINDER, CLUTCH AND SOLENOID, BUT THIS SOUNDA LIKE A MAJOR TRANSMISSION RECALL PROBLEM. when I called the dealership, all they had said was airbags are in recall for driver and passenger side free of charge... So I'm taking my chance to drive 90+ miles to have it diagnosed
Angel, Thank you for this video. This happened to my 2008 Ford Edge last night, 10/4/2015. Reading through the posts, I now have an idea what it might be. I'll have my mechanic look at the "Output Speed Sensor and the Turbine Speed Sensor, Ford part numbers 7H103 and 7M101" first. I'll post what he finds and what it cost to fix. Again, Thank you for this post. I had no idea last night what I was dealing with. Shame on Ford for not dealing with this.
+Karen Himmelstein Martin I do not have any videos of what was happening but the car would not accelerate while this was occurring it would feel like the car was stuck in 4th gear and when u went to shift it into park reverse or any gears u would hear a clunking noise and also my rpm meter would go to 0 mph would go to 0 airbag light would go on and wrench light tranny light and also I got "odo data error " where your mileage is supposed to display
+Chris Chevalier I'm sorry I mean of fixing it. This just happened to me Saturday on the way home. The airbag light came on, got the odo data error, 0 mph and the got clunking when we shifted gears. I was totally freaked out that my transmission shit itself Thankfully I was just down the street but pissed that I had to tow the car (we couldn't push it at all). I was wondering if you had a video of how you fixed it. Can't find anything for the Ford Edge (video wise) of where the sensors are and how to fix. Taking it to a shop is not feasable for me so if I (well my husband..LOL) can fix it that would be better.
+Karen Himmelstein Martin it's a little bit of a pain but if he's somewhat automotive inclined it's not a big deal I have pictures of the tranny case u have to take off what yr make model
That's what happened to my Ford Edge 2008 yesterday. I lost power and luckily made it home!! I've noticed a loud clunk when I put it on reverse... very dangerous!
I also drive a 2008 Ford edge that does the same thing but it’s really bad when I sit in traffic for too long and then the transmission slips and then I have to press the gas pedal to the floor and the RPM is already at 5000 but I’m only going 20 mph. So I always pull the car over shut it off to reset it and then everything’s fine totally weird🤷🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
My 08 edge had the same issue at around 80k miles. Replaced the Output shaft speed sensor and the Turbine speed sensor. Ford part numbers 7H103 & 7M101, total for the two sensors were around 150$. Took me around a day to replace them. Car has 120k miles and haven't had the issue return since.
It wasn't to difficult to replace. If you go to Fordparts.com and input your car info i.e. 08 ford edge. Then on parts search enter speed sensor, you'll find trans speed sensor and auto trans speed sensor. Enlarge the picture and it will show where the two sensors are located on the trans. It's been awhile since I've replaced it but I did have to remove the air box and driver front wheel. I also replace the trans fluid since you'll loose a lot when you remove the cover facing the radiator on the trans
This is the same issue I am having with my 2008 Ford Edge. It has been at the dealership for 2 1/2 weeks. They are saying they are not positive what the issue is but think it is the sensors in the transmission. Now I am thinking they already know the issue just pretending not to. Very upsetting that so many people are having the same issue but Ford is not doing a recall.
It's one OR both of these sensors: Turbine shaft speed sensor (TSS) Output shaft speed sensor (OSS) You have to get into the same area to replace either, so just replace both.
The best car I ever had was 2005 volvo xc90 2.5t(not T6). It has 298,000 miles before I eventually sold it. Engine and transmission has neither been replaced nor rebuild. Never ever replaced battery either. Just oil change and spark plugs. Ran like champ before I sold it.
Thanks for the video tip. I am having the same problem with my 2008 vehicle and I have no idea either. I have been having problems with mine one thing after another. After reading all the problems other owners have had and my own experience. I really lost all faith in Ford cars. Never again will I purchase a ford or recommend one!!!😕
Same problem. 2008 Ford Edge with about 115K miles. Mine seems to be triggered by hard acceleration, so I avoid doing that. When it happens, lots of dash error lights go on and the transmission slips or is in lower gear. The speedometer becomes completely disabled. This is a safety issue and needs to be reported to NHTSB. I am going to the Ford dealer this week.
I had the very same issue 6 months ago. the dealership couldn't figure out what the problem was since all the alerts on my dashboard had cleared because the car re set it self up. very frustrating and disappointing from FORD. This is a problem across all edge models
BTW, I am a electronics technician, with some mechanical skills. Also the sensors are not expensive, so there should be no reason not to change both. I agree that this is a safety issue. Any intermittent should have sensors replaced.
This is not just a Ford transmission. GM and Ford made this as a joint venture and is used in many GM vehicles as well...Just as the new 10 speed coming out from both manufacturers is as well...
This happened to my 07 Milan. Same symbols.The airbag light was the module that needed to be replaced. I had the wrench too. My car would always go into Limp home mode. It did the same thing like you,when I went into reverse. Same loud bang. I was lucky to get over 40mph. Dealer said I needed a new transmission for 6K. Went straight to Toyota that day.
I had this problem with me F--150, the dealer said "it was because I drove around too much, probably burnt the transmission" I had 47,800 miles. I had the car for a year and a half! I paid $2500 to get it fixed and and the problem came back a month later
Rented a 2016 Edge a few years ago. The dashboard would constantly light up with all kinds of errors. And then the gas pedal would randomly stop working until I pulled over, shut it off, and restarted it. This happened on the highway too. They did give me a discount though afterwards.
I bought my 2007 Ford Edge SEL in 2010. After just a couple of months, my Edge started going crazy. While driving, all of my instrument panel lights came on (low tire pressure, air bag off, check engine, etc...). I could tell that the motor sounded different and when I slowed down at a stop light and tried to take off again, I had to put the gas pedal to the floor to get it to move. Once I made it up to about 35-40 mpg, I could let off the gas pedal some and it didn't seem like it was in a bind any more. But, if I lowered my speed, it would do it again. When I put it in park, it jerked really hard and made a loud boom sound. This is the funny part: I could shut it off and start it back up and it would be fine. It did this for about 3 to 4 years. About a year ago or so, just shutting it off wouldn't fix it. My husband had the idea to detach the battery cable and when we re-attached it, it was fine. So, we think it's a computer glitch but we aren't sure. It might do this once every couple of months or a couple of times a week. I want to get this fixed, but I just hate to take it in to a shop and spend $1,000 to $2,000 and it still not fix it. Does anyone have any ideas or the same situation with your Edge?
I've owned Buick, dodge, Chrysler, ford , Lincoln ,Cadillac, Toyota, all these brands I got at least 150000 to 216000 miles , any car new or used is gonna give u some issue, all these eventually had a transmission issue for me , that's the business of the automotive Industry, they not made like cars in the 80s, 90s, built to last, so be cautious and even when u buy a car, always have a savings for repairs on the side to do things that may need to be done to the vehicle after u buy it , just take ya time and research and proceed wisely before buying ANY vehicle
I'm glad I looked at your video because I was going to go and purchase a a Ford Edge 2007 the price was really reasonable 4200 and it was a hundred and thirty-seven thousand miles on it but I see so far to videos on TH-cam that people having booster brake problems and transmission issues and I don't want to be buying a money pit that I got to be sitting there spending so much money just to have this thing on Road bad enough I got to pay for gas and insurance for this thing I don't want to be spending excess money that I don't have so this video right here just showed me that Ford have so many issues with the edge models and I don't want to deal with that
I drive a 2008 Ford edge and mines does the same thing put it in reverse big clunk. But it only happens when I sit in traffic for too long and then the RPMs river up, I have to push the gas always on the floor. But when I pull the car over and shut the car completely off and then turn it back on it runs perfectly fine🤷🏾♂️
Same issue happen to me... Terrible experience... My transmission was about to crack due to very low to none transmission fluid... bee very careful and make sure transmission fluid is good...Once transmission cracks, you are looking at very expensive repair bill.
We have a 2007 edge and we have had this exact problem twice now we are also having issues with the coil packs numbers 2 & 4 don't fire correctly all of the time and we have replaced them that problem comes and goes after turning the car off and letting it sit for a little while
Try checking the transmission fluid level . Should say right on the transmission dip stick cap which fluid to use to top it off . When was the last time transmission was serviced ?
my 08 edge was having the same transmission issues. I took it to the dealer and they said the transmission sensors had to be replaced. They said the clunk was an internal problem said I needed a new transmission at a cost of 6g's. I took it someplace else and got a used transmission from a 2010 edge. I'm now experiencing the same issues with the 2010 transmission. I'm taking it back to the mechanic after seeing your video and will ask him about a computer issue.
I also had the exact same problem. I know this is an old video but the problem is classic Turbine Speed Sensor and Output Shaft Sensor TSS/OSS sensors. May have terminology wrong but there are two sensors buried in the transmission. MACT Ford TH-cam channel shows you the basics of what the problem is. An advanced do it yourselfer can do it. It takes hours and is a mess, but can be done if one is patient and methodical. I have done it but it wasn’t easy, but fun.
with the overdrive off it does. its the only way to drive the edge without the speedo going out all the time. doing the same thing in my edge (great car minus the tranny/ speedo issue)
I bought an 07 sel plus i think, dvd in the back everything works climate control the works. I have replaced the torque mount it lessened the vibration a lot although it had been replaced at least once already. The guy who replaced it never put the heat shield back on so it wore out even faster. I have a small transmission leak and check the transmission fluid it was almost nothing. I added half a bottle of lucas transmission oil and added a half quart of type f transmission fluid. Vibration is almost completely gone although this is the day i did it. It still vibrates when i come to a complete stop at a stoplight. If light takes too long i can put it in neutral and vibration completely stops. We plan to add transmission fluid as needed until transmission goes out. Then replace it. The engine as usual nowadays is always good, its just other shat that doesn't last.
Thanks Angel for posting the video. My wife's car did the exact same thing tonight. Speedometer dropped to zero while slowing down for a stop light. Had to push hard on gas to get started. Speedometer remained on zero, but car returned to normal acceleration once it passed about 20-30 mph. Wrench & airbag warnings displayed and air pressure light displayed about two miles later. Parked vehicle and experienced the same rough shifting in gears and all sensors disappeared after turning engine off for one minute. What did the Ford dealership say the problem was and how much was the repair? This is a 2008 Ford Edge w/ 115K miles. Thanks for any information. Eric
I have a 2008 edge with over 113,000 miles and just dropped off my vehicle at the dealership with this same issue. They will call me tomorrow and will go from there $$$. did you figured out what was wrong or a fix to it? Thank you for sharing
the issue was that there were 2 speed sensors that needed to be replaced and $1400 later the car runs great thanks ford for covering nothing and selling faulty equipment.....yes I still have the car with 737know on it no further major issues
+angel aybar i have an 07 edge sel and had the same problem it was the input speed sensor and the output speed sensor my buddy and i replaced them had to buy the sensors for 114$ for both and we did it in his driveway have not had an more issues with the tranny
My Ford edge SEL AWD did the same exact thing my dealer stated it needed a NEW BATTERY and I would need to have a diagnostic test done. The dealership service department replaced two magnetic items in the transmission plus the front plastic cover. It is my opinion that FORD should be liable not me. Now for the last three years we all have AIR BAG problems my wife feels unconfortable to sit in the right front seat. Plus if this is a driver's air bag FORDS recommendation is not to drive the car. Thank you Ford motor co. I was a FORD NUT for most of my life now in my late years I hate to even think differently.
I'm facing the same problems with my car now it happens when i drive over 70 ora long period of time, how would you suggest going about getting it fixed?
What was the answer of the problem it sounds like loose motor mounts to me and because of your transmission or motor is bouncing around the linkages to your shifter is coming a loose and so that's why you can't get the RPM you want connected to the brakes it seems like there's a engine or transmission is loose because of motor mounts or training mounts type nose down and readjust the linkages to your shifter and I think you would be fine
marcelina noss I have a 2008 Ford Edge and it’s starting to do the same thing. They have 58 complaints of the same issue. These cars should be recalled. I have to take my car in
@@jazzyjazz1823 i told the ford dealership this should be a recall as it is very dangerous if this happens while entering a intersection and you have kids in the car. They said i was right. but nothing yet. Costs about 160 dollars for the 2 sensors at Autozone, Ford put them in for me with labor costs about 600 bucks. You can negotiate the labor costs with them. The mechanics labor rate says it is a 3 hour job, but Ford stated its a 5 hour job. Wiggle room there to negotiate. I got them down to 4 hours at $150 an hour. Ouch!! After you get this done, your Edge is good for another 100,000 miles. Remember, Ford Has a Better Idea!! really??? I call Bullshit!
This happened to my 07 Edge. After some time, I found out it was the auxilary positive battery connection. I had let some corrosion eat up my positive terminal. After I crimped on new terminals, the problem never returned.
There may be something to this comment regarding corrosion and battery cables. My 07 Edge was doing the same thing. After reading this comment I overlaid jumper cables (because I had it handy) and the total crap shifting problem went away. Though the shifts were harsh and one slippy. I replaced the two trans sensors this weekend and it didn't fix it. But of course I reset the adaptions,changed the fluid, took out the solenoid and valve bodies and then put it all back together so there are too many variables. I'll report back if the new battery cables fix it. Oh and it was worse with more electrical load, so I'm liking this battery cable thing. Of course my whole harness looks pretty crusty but the battery cables are easiest.
read the post an make sure your education is up to today's minimum standards the issue with the truck was never mechanical it was electrical even I knew that when I made this video problem was sensors (yep I reckon that be electrical ) so don't be quick to pass on your wealth on knowledge with out a clear understanding only an idiot would do something like that
My 2007 Ford Edge did the same exact thing. The problem is with the output speed sensor. When it heats up, it keeps the transmission from shifting correctly. Once it cools off, it goes back to running ok. I had the output and input speed sensors replaced and my Edge runs fine now. The total cost was just under $700. Had it done at a reputable Aamco shop.
Sort of similar problem with my edge.. it shifts fine into drive. No problem their. But when shifted into reverse, it acts like it's in neutral. If you flutter the gas to about 1200 rpm then it'll slam into gear and then start making a weird whining noise. Shifts through every gear smooth except 4th, when it gets to 4th then it shakes violently until it shifts into the next gear or downshifts.
I am having this same problem. I am working to attempt to get this recalled, but I need your help. Can others having this problem please submit a complaint to the National Highway Traffic Saftey Administration? It only takes a minute and hopefully we save others from the headache and dangers we have endured with this problem. I lost throttle power in the middle of the intersection which was extremely dangerous. Without a doubt, this needs to be recalled as soon as possible. Thank you!

Thanks for the Video, only one I could find with my exact symptoms on my 08 Edge. Pulled the battery terminals off and cleaned them, reinstalled and problem gone. Going to replace the battery terminals to keep it from happening again. The negative terminal is a little loose no matter how much I tighten it, it's still a little loose. Keep my fingers crossed it works. I'll update after a few weeks or months.
@@datway88 It continued to happen until I replaced the negative battery terminal with a regular clamp style. The factory one stinks, I couldn't get it to fully tighten. Haven't had a problem since, hopefully that's the cure.
you need an output speed sensor. the reseal ur airbag is on is because it uses vehicle speed in the programming the reason ur rpm and everything else is wonky is because the car don't know how fast it's going so it don't know what to do
I have a 2008 ford egde and I had the same problem but in my case I ended up rebuilding the transmisión and it's been 1 month since the then and my transmission works perfectly now is even better I just hope it stays the same.
I'm having the same issues and have replaced the TSS and oss sensors inside of the transmission. Now that I have switched them out. It only seems to be worse in slamming into drive. Poor acceleration and can't find anything to fix this On the internet. Can anyone help me please?
My '08 had the same hard shift when I would put it into reverse. I replaced weak battery last week with a brand new one. No more hard "clunk", and it seems to idle smoother.
This is started happening in my 2013 Ford Escape Wednesday. My brother and a friend of mine was thinking the clutches in The transmission were slipping, and I need a whole new one. Lord idk, but mine started doing this in the middle of the highway, scared me terribly.
Unless it kicked your overdrive gear out, you were doing 100. My RPMs at 3,000 are at around 100 mph. You was pushing that thing. And mine sometimes will do this when I first start the vehicle up. Never while it’s been running and driving fine. Sensors are going out but I don’t quite have the knowledge to fix it successfully. I know where the sensors are at and how to replace them, but I was told it’s a tedious job and must be done correctly. My 08 is at 161k with symptoms first starting at 86k miles.
It’s been proven that if you change the transmission fluid every 30-40 thousand miles these transmissions are trouble free. It’s all in the maintenance and whatever your owners manual states for fluid changes, cut that mileage in half.
@@ItsSunshyne Could be a lot of things. If the fluid has never been changed it could be to late. All you can do is change it and see what happens. On these transmissions, you do not want to do a flush, you will need to find a shop that can exchange the fluid as the engine is running. It requires equipment that can recover your old fluid as it puts in new fluid.
@@TJ-qz6hr thank you. I’m going to take it in this week. What would this service be called? Also, I’m believing it is a TSS error problem as well. My sensors go off and I have a feeling this is the main issue
@@ItsSunshyne Tell them you want a fluid exchange, NOT a flush and refill. If you have transmission fault codes, deal with that first and then do the fluid exchange.
I purchased a used 2008 Ford Edge in February 2012 that had 13,000 mile. After driving it for approx 1,000 miles I started it one evening and the transmission starting to jerk, the wrench light and air bag light come on, when I got home I turned it off and the next morning it ran fine. I took it to the dealer and told them I had a transmission problem . They called to tell me they could not get a code, they drove the car and could not get it do anything. So there was nothing they could do until they get a code. This happened at least (3) times. This car was still under warranty at that time. Now at 54,000 miles (5/2016) they finally found the problem because now the wrench light, engine light, seat belt light, tire pressure light and the speedometer is not working they finally got a code that told them it 's the transmission. It's a good thing I purchased the extended warranty in March of 2016. If this is a know problem the dealership should know this and fix the problem once the buyer has an issue. NOT GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE - but good on the dealerships bottom line. Not fixing sensors at the beginning of the issue allows the dealership to either bill the CUSTOMER or FORD MOTOR Company the extra cost.
Bingo! Thanks Vicky. It's good to hear some people are catching on to these scams. Car manufacturers have learned how to profit from their mistakes by charging hundreds of percent markups for very cheap Chinese parts. Dealers then mark them up even more and charge outlandish labor expenses or try to sell you a new piece of crap.
51k miles?? Dang ..there should NOT be a problem like this! What year is your car? What transmission? ... I've had Ford for years, but my confidence in them is waning. I'd purchased a well used '05 Freestlye to lower my car notes ... but there was some kind of intermittent squealing coming from ... somewhere. I was shellshocked to hear the CVT transmission on the Freestyle can fail at any time without warning .. and parts are hard to come by as they stopped making the model. I was fortunate to get into a '14 Focus ... but Ford has this newfangled Powershift transmission in it, which is a manual gear box that's controlled by (you guessed it!) computers! I'm hoping that I'm good for at least the 30k warranty period ... but what next, Ford? What next? They SURE don't make 'em like they used to!
WRB It's a good choice, until a light needs replacing - which can cost $80 for any car and $300 for a Japanese... Or a smashed wheel-hub, $100 and $500 for Japanese; a few spare parts, here-and-there and you end up w/enough money for a whole spare car..;)
any car even a domestic with LED/bi-XENON lamps cost the same $200 to 300 per bulb....n for wheel hub it will out last the car most of the time except if u hit lots of potholes....domestics(3x replacement frequency vs 1x import cars)....but now import cars are made right here in the USA so the parts prices are coming to be the same as domestic brands.
I've having the exact same problem with my 08 Edge, I just disconnect the battery for about 2 minutes to get reset the psu, that fix my problem with this transmission issue on my 08 Edge, maybe it'll happen again for but this solve my problem for today, btw ty for the video
05 f150 king ranch did the same thing the your first gear has went out that's why when you take off it goes so slow because the truck is taking off in 2 gear.. hate to say it your gonna have to get a new transmission or a rebuild get ready it's about 2000 where I live.my truck did everything your truck is doing except my speedometer still worked with mine
Thanks for the post. My 2007 Ford Edge is doing the same exact thing. I bought it just a couple of months ago and have been getting more and more upset each time that it happens. It doesn't happen every day, but when it does its really uncool. And it occurs randomly. I'll pull over, turn the truck off, start it back up again and it will run perfectly fine until the next random episode. I took it to a transmission specially only to have been told that my truck ran just fine with no problems that they could detect. He did though go on to say that it might be a speed sensor issue that could cost me nearly a $1000 to replace. The mileage on my truck hasn't yet reached 100,000. And reading the posts and seeing other videos this seems like a common problem with the Ford Edge. Reading the post from Chris Chevalier, it seems cheaper to do the repairs at home than taking it to a shop. Does n e body have a tutorial on how to fix it at home?
Oh. Better late than never. (Lol) I just ended up taking my truck to a Ford Dealership and giving them anout $2,400 to totally repair everything. That was n early March. Haven't had n e issues since. Thank u so much for responding.
I have a 2008 Ford edge and have been experiencing similar issues. I can e driving on the highway, all of the lights will come on and the speedometer will go off and show just lines----. The car will start to stall. I have to pull over and take the cable off the battery and reset it and then it works. It happens often. I have taken it to the dealer and they always say thy cant find the problem. They first told me that I had a bad battery( which I replaced immediately and the same thing continues).This is very dangerous on the road and I live in Georgia where the roads are dark, no where to pull over...etc. I am a woman alone in the dark and will have to get out to lift the hood and reset the battery.. I really believe if so many people are having this issues they should have a recall on this. How can we get our complaints noticed. Are they going to wait until something bad happens to someone due to this. Please help me to get this issued addressed.
I love my 2013 edge limited factory 20s...its a solid truck no problems I changed the intake to a spectre ghost performance and it growls and runs laps now...go for it bro.
suggest reporting the issue to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Ford Motor Company and the NHTSA work together to proactively identify areas of concern through investigation of consumer and dealer feedback. During an investigation, Ford cooperates fully with NHTSA. If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open an investigation, and if it finds that a safety defect exists in a group of vehicles, it may order a recall and remedy campaign. You can contact them here: www.nhtsa.gov/Contact or by calling 1-888-327-4236. If ever a recall or program is initiated in the future that is based on your situation, you will receive a notification via mail at that time.
Tss/oss sensors. $90 from dealership for both sensors. Anyone can swap these with basic hand tools in a few hours. You will also need 6 qts of transmission fluid.
Do you have any good videos of the process. I'm about to do it myself
I’m trying to do it myself
Any vids?
@@ItsSunshyne Hey Buddy have the same issue. Were you able to do the job yourself?
It was a great idea for you to take a video. My 2007 Ford Edge has done the same thing numerous times, but every time I have taken it to the dealership the staff there tell me it's one thing, charge me to fix it, then it has continued to happen. This process has been repeated at least 6-7 times and cost me a large amount of money. My car only has a little over 80,000 miles on it. After seeing this video I believe that this is a common issue with the Edge. Ford needs to address this issue in our cars so that we can have confidence in the company.
You have to get both the TSS and the OSS sensors replaced. $80 worth of parts and $800 worth of labor. This is what caused me to buy a 1966 Chevy truck, rebuild everything in it, add AC, power steering and disc brakes. Now I have simple, reliable, non computerized transportation that never needs a smog check and parts are cheap and available everywhere. Plus it is worth more that I have in it. So much for progress.
who did you find to do the work for 800 dollars?
lol, good luck finding parts "everywhere". Around here you have to special order pretty much everything for 90's and older cars.
You can do it yourself..2 hr job with the right tools.. these mechanics are stealing from you all..
9 months since my last comment. My 2008 edge has 182,000 miles on it. Transmission issue has happened 1 time since my last post. My engine blew Christmas day. Replaced it and still driving this car, I love it.
Merry Xmass from Ford.😁
I know how you can solve this problem
@@baderalazaat2190 How to solve it? Plis.
???
Thanks for the video Angel and comments. We have a 2007 Ford Edge with 120,000 km and have been experiencing transmission problems since July 2014. It has been in for repair six times and is currently still in the shop with this issue escalated to Ford Canada. The latest is that the bearings and clutch cylinder are damaged and are being replaced. Gear shifting sensor was previously replaced.
The powertrain (wrench) & service engine signals come on after experiencing loss of speed such as after a traffic light stop. We have to push down far on the gas pedal just to move and this is followed by rough shifting (makes a sudden jerk and loud thud sound). Everything goes back to normal for awhile when the vehicle is turned off; its like the car resets itself.
Agree that this is a potential safety issue as the problem can occur at anytime and we don't trust driving the vehicle very far.
My 2008 Edge had a similar issue, but I did not get the wrench or speedo fail. I had hard shifting or would not shift. As every one else I get to the dealer and nothing would be found wrong. I dug into this myself and found a note about 2 sensors in the transmission, I convinced them to change both sensors and my transmission has been good now for months. As I understand 1 sensor is in part for the speedo and the 2nd is a pressure sensor for gear shifting. So have those sensors changed, insist on it, its your life and safety involved, not theirs.
Please what the names of the sensor pls
Taking mine in tomorrow, thought it might need a whole new transmission so this is a relief. Say what you want about car brands, but this is the car I own and I will fix it and drive it. Thanks for the tips! I hope that's all it is!
good luck
Did not work. Changed out TSS SENSORS AND OSS SENSORS -> DOES NOT FIX ISSUE.
IM IN PROGRESS FOR CHANGING OUT THE SLAVE CYLINDER, CLUTCH AND SOLENOID, BUT THIS SOUNDA LIKE A
MAJOR TRANSMISSION RECALL PROBLEM.
when I called the dealership, all they had said was airbags are in recall for driver and passenger side free of charge...
So I'm taking my chance to drive 90+ miles to have it diagnosed
@havenmott3364 what was the diagnosis?
I reset the computer and they didn’t have to replace anything. It was under warranty at the time.
Angel, Thank you for this video. This happened to my 2008 Ford Edge last night, 10/4/2015. Reading through the posts, I now have an idea what it might be. I'll have my mechanic look at the "Output Speed Sensor and the Turbine Speed Sensor, Ford part numbers 7H103 and 7M101" first. I'll post what he finds and what it cost to fix. Again, Thank you for this post. I had no idea last night what I was dealing with. Shame on Ford for not dealing with this.
+Lazy Suzzan input speed sensor and output speed sensor fixed my issue had the same problem
+Chris Chevalier Do you have a video? I'm having the same problem.
+Karen Himmelstein Martin I do not have any videos of what was happening but the car would not accelerate while this was occurring it would feel like the car was stuck in 4th gear and when u went to shift it into park reverse or any gears u would hear a clunking noise and also my rpm meter would go to 0 mph would go to 0 airbag light would go on and wrench light tranny light and also I got "odo data error " where your mileage is supposed to display
+Chris Chevalier I'm sorry I mean of fixing it. This just happened to me Saturday on the way home. The airbag light came on, got the odo data error, 0 mph and the got clunking when we shifted gears. I was totally freaked out that my transmission shit itself
Thankfully I was just down the street but pissed that I had to tow the car (we couldn't push it at all).
I was wondering if you had a video of how you fixed it.
Can't find anything for the Ford Edge (video wise) of where the sensors are and how to fix.
Taking it to a shop is not feasable for me so if I (well my husband..LOL) can fix it that would be better.
+Karen Himmelstein Martin it's a little bit of a pain but if he's somewhat automotive inclined it's not a big deal I have pictures of the tranny case u have to take off what yr make model
That's what happened to my Ford Edge 2008 yesterday. I lost power and luckily made it home!! I've noticed a loud clunk when I put it on reverse... very dangerous!
I also drive a 2008 Ford edge that does the same thing but it’s really bad when I sit in traffic for too long and then the transmission slips and then I have to press the gas pedal to the floor and the RPM is already at 5000 but I’m only going 20 mph. So I always pull the car over shut it off to reset it and then everything’s fine totally weird🤷🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
Please my is having the sam problems till now have don eveything please what can i change to make it good
@@GMAJORTUNING1 I’m 7 months late , did changing the sensors fix it ?
If you have to pull over, turn off the car and then back on again, it's because it's running Windows.
My 08 edge had the same issue at around 80k miles. Replaced the Output shaft speed sensor and the Turbine speed sensor. Ford part numbers 7H103 & 7M101, total for the two sensors were around 150$. Took me around a day to replace them. Car has 120k miles and haven't had the issue return since.
hey thanks for the info how hard was it to replace those sensors?and where are they located? thanks
It wasn't to difficult to replace. If you go to Fordparts.com and input your car info i.e. 08 ford edge. Then on parts search enter speed sensor, you'll find trans speed sensor and auto trans speed sensor. Enlarge the picture and it will show where the two sensors are located on the trans. It's been awhile since I've replaced it but I did have to remove the air box and driver front wheel. I also replace the trans fluid since you'll loose a lot when you remove the cover facing the radiator on the trans
Samzaknight thanks that helps a lot
Bless you. I’m going to try this. Appreciate you !!
This is the same issue I am having with my 2008 Ford Edge. It has been at the dealership for 2 1/2 weeks. They are saying they are not positive what the issue is but think it is the sensors in the transmission. Now I am thinking they already know the issue just pretending not to. Very upsetting that so many people are having the same issue but Ford is not doing a recall.
did you end up finding out what the problem was? i spent $900 to replace sensors, but still have the same issue
Disconnect the battery lead, reattach problem gone
thanks for posting. Having the exact same issue. Ford needs to step up their game.
It's one OR both of these sensors:
Turbine shaft speed sensor (TSS)
Output shaft speed sensor (OSS)
You have to get into the same area to replace either, so just replace both.
Thank you for the video! I’m having the same problem with my 2008 edge. Hopefully at some point they will do a recall.
The best car I ever had was 2005 volvo xc90 2.5t(not T6). It has 298,000 miles before I eventually sold it. Engine and transmission has neither been replaced nor rebuild. Never ever replaced battery either. Just oil change and spark plugs. Ran like champ before I sold it.
Thanks for the video tip. I am having the same problem with my 2008 vehicle and I have no idea either. I have been having problems with mine one thing after another. After reading all the problems other owners have had and my own experience. I really lost all faith in Ford cars. Never again will I purchase a ford or recommend one!!!😕
Same problem. 2008 Ford Edge with about 115K miles. Mine seems to be triggered by hard acceleration, so I avoid doing that. When it happens, lots of dash error lights go on and the transmission slips or is in lower gear. The speedometer becomes completely disabled. This is a safety issue and needs to be reported to NHTSB. I am going to the Ford dealer this week.
How did you get your Ford fixed? This happened to my baby as well. I’m afraid to drive her. I need her to run
I had the very same issue 6 months ago. the dealership couldn't figure out what the problem was since all the alerts on my dashboard had cleared because the car re set it self up. very frustrating and disappointing from FORD. This is a problem across all edge models
BTW, I am a electronics technician, with some mechanical skills. Also the sensors are not expensive, so there should be no reason not to change both. I agree that this is a safety issue. Any intermittent should have sensors replaced.
This is not just a Ford transmission. GM and Ford made this as a joint venture and is used in many GM vehicles as well...Just as the new 10 speed coming out from both manufacturers is as well...
This happened to my 07 Milan. Same symbols.The airbag light was the module that needed to be replaced. I had the wrench too. My car would always go into Limp home mode. It did the same thing like you,when I went into reverse. Same loud bang. I was lucky to get over 40mph. Dealer said I needed a new transmission for 6K. Went straight to Toyota that day.
I had this problem with me F--150, the dealer said "it was because I drove around too much, probably burnt the transmission" I had 47,800 miles. I had the car for a year and a half! I paid $2500 to get it fixed and and the problem came back a month later
I had the same problem on my 2007 but i whispered softly in its ear/tailpipe and it runs fine now...a little love goes a long way!!
Rented a 2016 Edge a few years ago. The dashboard would constantly light up with all kinds of errors. And then the gas pedal would randomly stop working until I pulled over, shut it off, and restarted it. This happened on the highway too. They did give me a discount though afterwards.
I bought my 2007 Ford Edge SEL in 2010. After just a couple of months, my Edge started going crazy. While driving, all of my instrument panel lights came on (low tire pressure, air bag off, check engine, etc...). I could tell that the motor sounded different and when I slowed down at a stop light and tried to take off again, I had to put the gas pedal to the floor to get it to move. Once I made it up to about 35-40 mpg, I could let off the gas pedal some and it didn't seem like it was in a bind any more. But, if I lowered my speed, it would do it again. When I put it in park, it jerked really hard and made a loud boom sound. This is the funny part: I could shut it off and start it back up and it would be fine. It did this for about 3 to 4 years. About a year ago or so, just shutting it off wouldn't fix it. My husband had the idea to detach the battery cable and when we re-attached it, it was fine. So, we think it's a computer glitch but we aren't sure. It might do this once every couple of months or a couple of times a week. I want to get this fixed, but I just hate to take it in to a shop and spend $1,000 to $2,000 and it still not fix it. Does anyone have any ideas or the same situation with your Edge?
I've owned Buick, dodge, Chrysler, ford , Lincoln ,Cadillac, Toyota, all these brands I got at least 150000 to 216000 miles , any car new or used is gonna give u some issue, all these eventually had a transmission issue for me , that's the business of the automotive Industry, they not made like cars in the 80s, 90s, built to last, so be cautious and even when u buy a car, always have a savings for repairs on the side to do things that may need to be done to the vehicle after u buy it , just take ya time and research and proceed wisely before buying ANY vehicle
I'm glad I looked at your video because I was going to go and purchase a a Ford Edge 2007 the price was really reasonable 4200 and it was a hundred and thirty-seven thousand miles on it but I see so far to videos on TH-cam that people having booster brake problems and transmission issues and I don't want to be buying a money pit that I got to be sitting there spending so much money just to have this thing on Road bad enough I got to pay for gas and insurance for this thing I don't want to be spending excess money that I don't have so this video right here just showed me that Ford have so many issues with the edge models and I don't want to deal with that
Transmission Output Speed Sensor, this is the issue here.
Correct it happened to me and I think it is again after I got it fixed
I drive a 2008 Ford edge and mines does the same thing put it in reverse big clunk. But it only happens when I sit in traffic for too long and then the RPMs river up, I have to push the gas always on the floor. But when I pull the car over and shut the car completely off and then turn it back on it runs perfectly fine🤷🏾♂️
@@GMAJORTUNING1 I'm having that issue now.
Is this an expensive fix?
Same issue happen to me... Terrible experience... My transmission was about to crack due to very low to none transmission fluid... bee very careful and make sure transmission fluid is good...Once transmission cracks, you are looking at very expensive repair bill.
We have a 2007 edge and we have had this exact problem twice now we are also having issues with the coil packs numbers 2 & 4 don't fire correctly all of the time and we have replaced them that problem comes and goes after turning the car off and letting it sit for a little while
I guess I was lucky. 190k and I haven’t had this problem. But at least I know what to do when this happens. Thanks.
Try checking the transmission fluid level . Should say right on the transmission dip stick cap which fluid to use to top it off .
When was the last time transmission was serviced ?
my 08 edge was having the same transmission issues. I took it to the dealer and they said the transmission sensors had to be replaced. They said the clunk was an internal problem said I needed a new transmission at a cost of 6g's. I took it someplace else and got a used transmission from a 2010 edge. I'm now experiencing the same issues with the 2010 transmission. I'm taking it back to the mechanic after seeing your video and will ask him about a computer issue.
ford vehicles are well known for transmission, engine, electrical problems....
+Laura Smith Your a little girl you shouldn't talk like that or it will tear up.
+Laura Smith I'm sorry I was high at the time and had no one else to talk to.
So are chevys and Dodges🤣
Well im learning this the hard way.
I also had the exact same problem. I know this is an old video but the problem is classic Turbine Speed Sensor and Output Shaft Sensor TSS/OSS sensors. May have terminology wrong but there are two sensors buried in the transmission. MACT Ford TH-cam channel shows you the basics of what the problem is. An advanced do it yourselfer can do it. It takes hours and is a mess, but can be done if one is patient and methodical. I have done it but it wasn’t easy, but fun.
I have a 2008 ford edge doing the same thing do you know the part numbers for the tss and OSS sensors
My edge is doing the exact same thing. May you please assist us on the parts to get? I’ll fix it myself, I do not care
Thanks for video. Was going to buy a nice looking 08 edge. Now thinking twice.
Wise decision.
Does it normally cruise at 3k RPM? That seems high to me.
with the overdrive off it does. its the only way to drive the edge without the speedo going out all the time. doing the same thing in my edge (great car minus the tranny/ speedo issue)
I bought an 07 sel plus i think, dvd in the back everything works climate control the works. I have replaced the torque mount it lessened the vibration a lot although it had been replaced at least once already. The guy who replaced it never put the heat shield back on so it wore out even faster. I have a small transmission leak and check the transmission fluid it was almost nothing. I added half a bottle of lucas transmission oil and added a half quart of type f transmission fluid. Vibration is almost completely gone although this is the day i did it. It still vibrates when i come to a complete stop at a stoplight. If light takes too long i can put it in neutral and vibration completely stops. We plan to add transmission fluid as needed until transmission goes out. Then replace it. The engine as usual nowadays is always good, its just other shat that doesn't last.
Thanks Angel for posting the video. My wife's car did the exact same thing tonight. Speedometer dropped to zero while slowing down for a stop light. Had to push hard on gas to get started. Speedometer remained on zero, but car returned to normal acceleration once it passed about 20-30 mph. Wrench & airbag warnings displayed and air pressure light displayed about two miles later. Parked vehicle and experienced the same rough shifting in gears and all sensors disappeared after turning engine off for one minute.
What did the Ford dealership say the problem was and how much was the repair?
This is a 2008 Ford Edge w/ 115K miles.
Thanks for any information.
Eric
Exact same thing with my vehicle! I love my baby, I’ll do anything to fix her.
I have a 2008 edge with over 113,000 miles and just dropped off my vehicle at the dealership with this same issue. They will call me tomorrow and will go from there $$$. did you figured out what was wrong or a fix to it? Thank you for sharing
Did you ever get this issue fixed? What was the solution?
the issue was that there were 2 speed sensors that needed to be replaced and $1400 later the car runs great thanks ford for covering nothing and selling faulty equipment.....yes I still have the car with 737know on it no further major issues
+angel aybar i have an 07 edge sel and had the same problem it was the input speed sensor and the output speed sensor my buddy and i replaced them had to buy the sensors for 114$ for both and we did it in his driveway have not had an more issues with the tranny
+Chris Chevalier Where did you find the instructions or video to fix it?
Do you have a video of the location of the sensors ?
Only a few pictures
Could you post the pictures? Would be great!
My Ford edge SEL AWD did the same exact thing my dealer stated it needed a NEW BATTERY and I would need to have a diagnostic test done. The dealership service department replaced two magnetic items in the transmission plus the front plastic cover. It is my opinion that FORD should be liable not me. Now for the last three years we all have AIR BAG problems my wife feels unconfortable to sit in the right front seat. Plus if this is a driver's air bag FORDS recommendation is not to drive the car. Thank you Ford motor co. I was a FORD NUT for most of my life now in my late years I hate to even think differently.
I’m sure it’s already done but I think it’s the tss?
I'm facing the same problems with my car now it happens when i drive over 70 ora long period of time, how would you suggest going about getting it fixed?
What was the answer of the problem it sounds like loose motor mounts to me and because of your transmission or motor is bouncing around the linkages to your shifter is coming a loose and so that's why you can't get the RPM you want connected to the brakes it seems like there's a engine or transmission is loose because of motor mounts or training mounts type nose down and readjust the linkages to your shifter and I think you would be fine
so how did you resolve this issue,, i have the same problem in my edge 2008
marcelina noss I have a 2008 Ford Edge and it’s starting to do the same thing. They have 58 complaints of the same issue. These cars should be recalled. I have to take my car in
@@jazzyjazz1823 i told the ford dealership this should be a recall as it is very dangerous if this happens while entering a intersection and you have kids in the car. They said i was right. but nothing yet. Costs about 160 dollars for the 2 sensors at Autozone, Ford put them in for me with labor costs about 600 bucks. You can negotiate the labor costs with them. The mechanics labor rate says it is a 3 hour job, but Ford stated its a 5 hour job. Wiggle room there to negotiate. I got them down to 4 hours at $150 an hour. Ouch!! After you get this done, your Edge is good for another 100,000 miles. Remember, Ford Has a Better Idea!! really??? I call Bullshit!
@@marcelinanoss8825 please what the name of dose things you changed because am facing the same problem here
Pls help
Please tell me how you resolved the problem?
This happened to my 07 Edge. After some time, I found out it was the auxilary positive battery connection. I had let some corrosion eat up my positive terminal. After I crimped on new terminals, the problem never returned.
There may be something to this comment regarding corrosion and battery cables. My 07 Edge was doing the same thing. After reading this comment I overlaid jumper cables (because I had it handy) and the total crap shifting problem went away. Though the shifts were harsh and one slippy. I replaced the two trans sensors this weekend and it didn't fix it. But of course I reset the adaptions,changed the fluid, took out the solenoid and valve bodies and then put it all back together so there are too many variables. I'll report back if the new battery cables fix it. Oh and it was worse with more electrical load, so I'm liking this battery cable thing. Of course my whole harness looks pretty crusty but the battery cables are easiest.
read the post an make sure your education is up to today's minimum standards the issue with the truck was never mechanical it was electrical even I knew that when I made this video problem was sensors (yep I reckon that be electrical ) so don't be quick to pass on your wealth on knowledge with out a clear understanding only an idiot would do something like that
I know I’m late to the party but did it end up being sensor? I googled because same Happend to my car
This happened to my aunts 2010 Ford Edge. She just traded it in and got a 2013 edge. She's had no problems with her new one.
Amazes me when people have shitty experiences with a vehicle and their solution is to go buy another one just like it.
My 2007 Ford Edge did the same exact thing. The problem is with the output speed sensor. When it heats up, it keeps the transmission from shifting correctly. Once it cools off, it goes back to running ok. I had the output and input speed sensors replaced and my Edge runs fine now. The total cost was just under $700. Had it done at a reputable Aamco shop.
You can do it yourself for less then 250 for sure u paid too much bread bro
Thank you
@@AnthonyRamirezX how do I fix it myself? I am a female who is learning to fix her car on her own.
@@ItsSunshyne did you ever fix your problem
Thanks. So what was the problem. What parts did you change?
Can you help me out with that.? Please.
Input and output sensor was replaced under a warranty we had
Thanks do you have the part number?
Sort of similar problem with my edge.. it shifts fine into drive. No problem their. But when shifted into reverse, it acts like it's in neutral. If you flutter the gas to about 1200 rpm then it'll slam into gear and then start making a weird whining noise. Shifts through every gear smooth except 4th, when it gets to 4th then it shakes violently until it shifts into the next gear or downshifts.
I am having this same problem. I am working to attempt to get this recalled, but I need your help. Can others having this problem please submit a complaint to the National Highway Traffic Saftey Administration? It only takes a minute and hopefully we save others from the headache and dangers we have endured with this problem. I lost throttle power in the middle of the intersection which was extremely dangerous. Without a doubt, this needs to be recalled as soon as possible.
Thank you!

Ryan Boyce I am still trying
Thanks for the Video, only one I could find with my exact symptoms on my 08 Edge. Pulled the battery terminals off and cleaned them, reinstalled and problem gone. Going to replace the battery terminals to keep it from happening again. The negative terminal is a little loose no matter how much I tighten it, it's still a little loose. Keep my fingers crossed it works. I'll update after a few weeks or months.
Did this work??
@@datway88 It continued to happen until I replaced the negative battery terminal with a regular clamp style. The factory one stinks, I couldn't get it to fully tighten. Haven't had a problem since, hopefully that's the cure.
Quick update, kept happening so I replaced the TSS & OSS sensors to get rid of the problem. $50 worth of parts & 4 hours of my time. Problem solved.
you need an output speed sensor. the reseal ur airbag is on is because it uses vehicle speed in the programming the reason ur rpm and everything else is wonky is because the car don't know how fast it's going so it don't know what to do
12/19/19 update. Brake Booster took a Hippopotamus style shxt on my 09 Edge AWD Limited. I’m on the dealers ass the AM
I have a 2008 ford egde and I had the same problem but in my case I ended up rebuilding the transmisión and it's been 1 month since the then and my transmission works perfectly now is even better I just hope it stays the same.
How many miles do you have on it
Did you have Transmission fluid in it
I'm having the same issues and have replaced the TSS and oss sensors inside of the transmission. Now that I have switched them out. It only seems to be worse in slamming into drive. Poor acceleration and can't find anything to fix this On the internet. Can anyone help me please?
My '08 had the same hard shift when I would put it into reverse. I replaced weak
battery last week with a brand new one. No more hard "clunk", and it seems to idle smoother.
How much did the dealership charge
Try replacing the battery
This is started happening in my 2013 Ford Escape Wednesday. My brother and a friend of mine was thinking the clutches in The transmission were slipping, and I need a whole new one. Lord idk, but mine started doing this in the middle of the highway, scared me terribly.
What did they fix
Unless it kicked your overdrive gear out, you were doing 100. My RPMs at 3,000 are at around 100 mph. You was pushing that thing. And mine sometimes will do this when I first start the vehicle up. Never while it’s been running and driving fine. Sensors are going out but I don’t quite have the knowledge to fix it successfully. I know where the sensors are at and how to replace them, but I was told it’s a tedious job and must be done correctly. My 08 is at 161k with symptoms first starting at 86k miles.
What was the Issue did you ever get it fixed
You need to change oil o ring kit
It’s been proven that if you change the transmission fluid every 30-40 thousand miles these transmissions are trouble free. It’s all in the maintenance and whatever your owners manual states for fluid changes, cut that mileage in half.
So you think this is a transmission fluid problem? I’m trying to fix my car on my own
@@ItsSunshyne Could be a lot of things. If the fluid has never been changed it could be to late. All you can do is change it and see what happens. On these transmissions, you do not want to do a flush, you will need to find a shop that can exchange the fluid as the engine is running. It requires equipment that can recover your old fluid as it puts in new fluid.
@@TJ-qz6hr thank you. I’m going to take it in this week. What would this service be called? Also, I’m believing it is a TSS error problem as well. My sensors go off and I have a feeling this is the main issue
@@ItsSunshyne Tell them you want a fluid exchange, NOT a flush and refill. If you have transmission fault codes, deal with that first and then do the fluid exchange.
@@TJ-qz6hr thank you TJ. I appreciate this
hey angel. what did you do after the issue. did it need a replacement or something. me digas porque tengo un 07
Our car is doing exact same thing...what exactly was the problem
I purchased a used 2008 Ford Edge in February 2012 that had 13,000 mile. After driving it for approx 1,000 miles I started it one evening and the transmission starting to jerk, the wrench light and air bag light come on, when I got home I turned it off and the next morning it ran fine. I took it to the dealer and told them I had a transmission problem . They called to tell me they could not get a code, they drove the car and could not get it do anything. So there was nothing they could do until they get a code. This happened at least (3) times. This car was still under warranty at that time. Now at 54,000 miles (5/2016) they finally found the problem because now the wrench light, engine light, seat belt light, tire pressure light and the speedometer is not working they finally got a code that told them it 's the transmission. It's a good thing I purchased the extended warranty in March of 2016. If this is a know problem the dealership should know this and fix the problem once the buyer has an issue. NOT GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE - but good on the dealerships bottom line. Not fixing sensors at the beginning of the issue allows the dealership to either bill the CUSTOMER or FORD MOTOR Company the extra cost.
Bingo!
Thanks Vicky.
It's good to hear some people are catching on to these scams.
Car manufacturers have learned how to profit from their mistakes by charging hundreds of percent markups for very cheap Chinese parts.
Dealers then mark them up even more and charge outlandish labor expenses or try to sell you a new piece of crap.
I have an 08 Ford Taurus never experienced anything like this. I had my car for an year. No problems and it has 161,000 miles on it
51k miles?? Dang ..there should NOT be a problem like this! What year is your car? What transmission? ... I've had Ford for years, but my confidence in them is waning. I'd purchased a well used '05 Freestlye to lower my car notes ... but there was some kind of intermittent squealing coming from ... somewhere. I was shellshocked to hear the CVT transmission on the Freestyle can fail at any time without warning .. and parts are hard to come by as they stopped making the model. I was fortunate to get into a '14 Focus ... but Ford has this newfangled Powershift transmission in it, which is a manual gear box that's controlled by (you guessed it!) computers! I'm hoping that I'm good for at least the 30k warranty period ... but what next, Ford? What next? They SURE don't make 'em like they used to!
So what was the issue?
Hears transmission making Audible thumps and stuff.
Continues to drive
I also have a 2008 ford edge with the same problem and also had to have my speed sensors changed
Did changing the sensors fixed the problem?
What happened next
Reverse sounded like it just dumped the trans on the ground.
Please have you gotten any solution on this? same problem with my car.

Please when you repair your car just send me email please
soywasim@gmailcom
elwees naser change trans fluid
😂😂😂
Sounds kind of like a throttle body issue but its not sense the transmission is giving some symptoms
What do yo do finally??
I had the exact same problem on my 2013 edge was the clutch packs, traded it in for a rav4 haven't had a problem since.
Good choice.
WRB It's a good choice, until a light needs replacing - which can cost $80 for any car and $300 for a Japanese... Or a smashed wheel-hub, $100 and $500 for Japanese; a few spare parts, here-and-there and you end up w/enough money for a whole spare car..;)
any car even a domestic with LED/bi-XENON lamps cost the same $200 to 300 per bulb....n for wheel hub it will out last the car most of the time except if u hit lots of potholes....domestics(3x replacement frequency vs 1x import cars)....but now import cars are made right here in the USA so the parts prices are coming to be the same as domestic brands.

이연승 mine did too however I pooped on the engine? And interesting it worked well so I would suggest pull the bloomers off and take a dumpzy on it

kaharold I mean, it is a Ford right? I actually own an 09 AWD Limited and it’s a good vehicle but does have issues. As too does any used car

People Used To Say Fix Or Repair Daily or Found On Road Dead-That's What Ford Stood For
@@bynnderover6397 True
@@jdillard36 WOW, I Bet i would trade it off
Ours does the same in reverse when the transmission is cold. Have to turn it on and let it warm up for about 10 minutes.
Thanks for the post. My 2007 Ford Edge is doing the same exact thing. I bought it just a couple of months ago and have been getting more and more upset each time that it happens. It doesn't happen every day, but when it does its really uncool. And it occurs randomly. I'll pull over, turn the truck off, start it back up again and it will run perfectly fine until the next random episode. I took it to a transmission specially only to have been told that my truck ran just fine with no problems that they could detect. He did though go on to say that it might be a speed sensor issue that could cost me nearly a $1000 to replace. The mileage on my truck hasn't yet reached 100,000. And reading the posts and seeing other videos this seems like a common problem with the Ford Edge. Reading the post from Chris Chevalier, it seems cheaper to do the repairs at home than taking it to a shop. Does n e body have a tutorial on how to fix it at home?
Oh. Better late than never. (Lol) I just ended up taking my truck to a Ford Dealership and giving them anout $2,400 to totally repair everything. That was n early March. Haven't had n e issues since. Thank u so much for responding.
turning it off and pulling out the key; waiting; slowly turning it back on;
slowly put in drive
I have a 2008 Ford edge and have been experiencing similar issues. I can e driving on the highway, all of the lights will come on and the speedometer will go off and show just lines----. The car will start to stall. I have to pull over and take the cable off the battery and reset it and then it works. It happens often. I have taken it to the dealer and they always say thy cant find the problem. They first told me that I had a bad battery( which I replaced immediately and the same thing continues).This is very dangerous on the road and I live in Georgia where the roads are dark, no where to pull over...etc. I am a woman alone in the dark and will have to get out to lift the hood and reset the battery.. I really believe if so many people are having this issues they should have a recall on this. How can we get our complaints noticed. Are they going to wait until something bad happens to someone due to this. Please help me to get this issued addressed.
Send me your phone number so i can call you and tell you what you need to do
later model years of the ford edge don't seem to have this problem :/
My 2010 awd doesn't have this problem. Religious transmission oil changes will help.
how many miles does the car had and what year ???
Hey guys when u want to shift to. Put the car on N then pull the handbrake then switch to p

Tomorrow I'm gonna trade my explorer sport trac for a Ford Edge. No matter what
I love my 2013 edge limited factory 20s...its a solid truck no problems I changed the intake to a spectre ghost performance and it growls and runs laps now...go for it bro.

Tss and os sensors
Thanx that's exactly what mine just did.
suggest reporting the issue to
the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Ford Motor Company
and the NHTSA work together to proactively identify areas of concern through
investigation of consumer and dealer feedback. During an investigation, Ford
cooperates fully with NHTSA. If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open
an investigation, and if it finds that a safety defect exists in a group of
vehicles, it may order a recall and remedy campaign. You can contact them here:
www.nhtsa.gov/Contact or by calling 1-888-327-4236. If ever a recall or
program is initiated in the future that is based on your situation, you will
receive a notification via mail at that time.
