I have a 2007 Ford Edge that is 18 months old, it has been in the service dept 8 times with a transmission problem. The vehicle jerks and bumps when slowing down, braking, or accelarating, and sometimes feels like it has been rear-ended. The problems are more severe when in thehigh country.There has been sensors and the PTU Unit replaced but the problem has not been solved. The Ford engineers has labled some of the problems with a software issue which has been called "The San Antonio Bump", the software is not available at this time. They also say that it is normal for the Edge's transmission to shift from 6th gear into 2nd gear.

Please respond to this email if anyone out there is experiencing any of these problems randdchrivia@comcast.net

 

Hi! I know you posted this about 3 years ago but did the problem ever get fixed? I have a 2007 ford edge and i'm having the same problem. The dealer can't find it on the diagnostics. I'm reading about similar issues and it seems a lot of people have had to replace the transmission.

 

My 2007 Edge with 44k miles tranny just went out. It's in the shop now. will keep you posted.

 

What were the symptons when the transmission went bad? We are pretty sure we will need a new transmission, it's just a matter of time!

 

Yes, what WERE the symptoms when the trans went out? I do auto trans work for Ford, and I Haven't seen any major problems with the 6F50N (the trans in the Edge). They did have a nice little 2-1 downshift bump, but reflashed fixed most of them.
The only other problem I've ever seen with them is the output shaft speed sensor (sits underneath the valve body) going out. When it does, the speedometer will stop working and you'll get very harsh downshifts/upshifts, if it does at all.
It's really really odd to see the trans go out at 44K. I've seen these all day long with well over 100 plus thousand miles and NO problems. It's possible that you have had something break, but I do hope not!

 

I was driving the other day and the Edge made a terrible sound. I called my husband and he said to drive it home and he would look at it. Thinks it is the transmission and is ready to get rid of it and not get another Ford. Nothing made like it used to be. I love my Edge but my husband is pretty adament about getting rid of it and not getting another one. Too bad because he has a 1997 Ford Truck with no major problems and 109,000 miles on it. Would have kept this for a long time had it not been for this problem. Too bad Ford won't do something about it.
