I have a 2008 Edge with 6000 miles. Same clunking transmission problem. Seemed to happen after a long drive...hundreds of miles...parked in lot overnight. The next morning under moderate acceleration it wound out. It appears to me that the transmission failed to engage. Basically the engine then reached a higher RPM than normal. When it finally engaged, it made that horendous clunking noise...It has actually happened twice to me. Since it seems to be such an intermittant problem, I figured that any service center would have a hard time believing anyone. It is a rather hard thing to describe and to potentially duplicate. It seems though that the two times it has happened to me they were under the same circumstances as I described. Maybe someone else can verify. I do plan on taking it in after my current road trip to see what the service techs have to say. Good to know at least that other people have had similar issues. That it is good ammunition to take to the dealer. They shouldn''t deny this type of thing. Chances are they have probably seen it before.

I have a 2007 SEL Ford Edge with 18K miles on it (under a year old) and am having very similar transmission issues as the ones listed. I was experiencing some hard shifting once in awhile and didn’t really think much of it until two weeks ago when I was driving on the highway in mixed traffic. I was going 35-45mph and when I’d press on the gas to accelerate the car wouldn’t and then all of the sudden my rpm gage shot up from 2 to 4 and then the car jerked forward and reached a higher speed. It was the same feeling of being “rear-ended” that many others have mentioned. This continued for the next few miles until I could get off the highway. Once I came to a complete stop, I couldn’t even get the car to move- pressed on the gas gently a few times and then all of the sudden my mph gage jumped from 0 to 80 and 2 to 4 on my rpm gage, then the car violently jerked forward and I was able to pull into a parking lot. I dropped the car off at the local Ford dealer that night and after 3 days was given this initial diagnosis- burning fluid smell and slippage into third gear. Also, I couldn''t get a rental because it wasn''t the same dealership I bought the car from. Then Ford proceeded to tell me they had to take the whole transmission out and complete a cap cost analysis for the company. This was 15 days ago- I called today and according to the technician a snap ring broke off one of the drums (and fell into "something") and they are just replacing that. I am expected to be driving it by Friday. This all seems very strange to me since others are having the EXACT same type of problem I had and need completely new transmissions. Ford must see a lot of loose snap rings....and if that was the case, why no recall? Does anyone else think I''m being given the run around? How have things turned out for your Edge problems? Anyone pursue their rights under lemon laws? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Cobra98, I can verify your issue. I''m glad to see someone else experienced the jump in rpms- did you ever take it in and have it looked at? What was the outcome?

All of this sounds so familar, We just got ours out of the shop today, the first three days in techs couldnt figure out the problem. They then decided to replace the the torque converter. The dealership guys said that they hadnt herd of any problems with the transmission and that we were the first ones to come in with this problem. It still doesnt feel right it has a hard shift from second gear to third. we have a little over 14000 miles problem started around 6500 called the dealership and they said that they couldnt do anything about the problem until we got a service light. Well we finally got the light and it had to be towed in. My wife and 15 month old baby and to wait almost 2 hrs for a tow truck. Will definately be getting rid of this car before warrinty goes out. Problems like this dont go away. Really disappointed in the way the dealership has handled things.

I was left on the side of the road 800 miles from home. The car would not down shift. Two weeks, two transmission control sensors, two airline tickets and two Ford dealers later, I got my car back. It is now periodically disengaging at times at lower speeds. I have had many Ford products in the past and been happy with all of them. I think there is an inherent problem with this car and hope Ford will resolve the problem soon.
