2007 Ford Edge electrical system problems

“My 2007 Ford Edge lost the use of my accelerometer pedal without any warning, while driving. The pedal collapsed to the floor. The engine continued to run. A wrench image appeared on the dashboard. After towing to service station the gas pedal worked again. No codes could be determined during TWO diagnostic procedures. After the first mechanics could not determine or diagnose a problem, nor replicate the problem, I had it towed to my local Ford Dealership. Their diagnosis claimed no indication of an issue on their diagnostic computer either. I’m afraid to drive my car. [XXX] , Sacramento, California [XXX] [XXX]”

“Cruise control stops working and starts working again at varies times. Thermostat sticks to cause the the temp to go from normal to hot quick. Fuel gage/floater is never accurate with how much gas is in gas tank”

“On 11/7-22, I stopped at a major traffic light on my way to work and when the traffic light turned green and I motioned to drive forward, I noticed my car had stalled and proceeded to roll backwards in traffic. I quickly placed my foot on the gas pedal to move forward, however my car continued to roll backwards, almost hitting the vehicle behind me. So I immediately put on my emergency lights and pressed the brakes repeatedly, however my brakes were frozen (hard) and did not stop my car from rolling backwards. After several minutes, my car stopped rolling backwards and I was able to restart it and slowly drive off the major highway to get assistance. When driving off the highway my car was moving extremely slow and rough. Since the incident, my car have not been inspected or repaired by a mechanic. Prior to this incident, my car have stalled out at stops and while driving but never rolled backwards or lost brake control.”

“I AM FRUSTRATED WITH THIS CAR. I HAVE HAD IT FOR A YEAR AND NOTHING BUT ISSUES, I WAS EXPERENCING WHERE I WOULD GO TO START THE CAR AND THE CAR WOULD NOT TURN OVER I COULD SIT AND TRY FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES AND IT WOULD TURN OVER. I LEARNED IF I POUNDED ON THE DASH IT STARTED. ALSO WHEN I AM DRIVING AT ANY ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH BOARD LIGHT UP AND THE SPEDOMETER AND RPMS STOP WORKING AND THE COMPUTER PART STATES NO DATA. SOME TIMES IT STAYS ON FOR A WHILE SOME TIMES IT GOES OFF IMMEDIATELY, ANOTHER REMEMDY IS I WILL LIGHTLY TAB THE DASH AND THE LIGHTS COME BACK ON. WHEN I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE A TRANSMISSION WAS JUST PUT IN AND NOW NOT EVEN A YEAR LATER IT IS SHIFTING HARD AND DRIVING VERY BAD. FROM LOOKING OVER THE INTERNET THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE. wHY ARE THEY NOT PUTTING OUT AN RECALL. SHAME ON FORD FOR THIS ISSUE”

“While driving my 2007 Ford Edge on the interstate highway, going around 70 MPH, I noticed a wrench appear on my dash. My speedometer also had stopped working and I got the error code “ODO DATA ERROR”. I eventually pulled over and turned the vehicle off and on, afterwards the vehicle did not accelerate when the gas pedal was pressed.”

“The contact owns a 2007 Ford Edge. The contact stated that their vehicle's passenger rear sliding door failed to close. The contact noticed that the wires had been burnt which later caused malfunctions with the passenger headlamp and brake lamp to fail. The contact stated that while pulling into a stop at a stoplight they noticed smoke coming from under the hood of the vehicle. The contact drove about a mile and a half at a slow speed to the nearest certified mechanic who stated that the wire harness for the sliding door needed to be replaced. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue and confirmed their vehicle's VIN was not included. The approximate failure mileage was 93,000”
