Popular Post Arran Posted February 8, 2016 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 Hi Friends, My 2008 Ford Edge with 139000 km began to show a problem when I press straight down on the accelerator but the Edge would not respond. I tried and change gear but nothing happen. At the same time observed a transmission lagging, dropping, and loud/hard changes while shifting in gear. I called the Ford dealer. They said to switch car off and back again on. After that test out car worked excellent. It began working as if absolutely nothing was wrong. Instantly Again the same has happen yesterday when I was on a road trip where it felt like transmission slipped out of gear and the wrench light came on and off. But this time I also experienced it was in neutral, it wouldn’t accelerate when I pressed the gas. I did the same switch on/off activity and it seemed excellent. I am afraid now about this continuous problem with this car. Guy's please suggest me best garage near Al quos to fix my car soon in affordable prize price. That will be great help. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post gautam Posted February 8, 2016 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 Hi Arran, The problem you describe is a known issue on Ford Edge models, and it is caused by the failure of sensors inside the transmission. It can be any one of three sensors- the transmission speed sensor, the turbine sensor, the pressure sensor, or all three, so it would be wise to have all three sensors replaced. It is strange that the dealer would tell you to merely switch the engine off and on again. While this resets the sensors and the circuits they control, Ford has issues a TSB about this issue, and the dealer should have known better, since this problem is a dangerous condition to have on any car. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Posted April 9, 2016 Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 Why would you spend extra money changing 3 sensors when only one is possibly faulty? That's a very main dealerish attitude towards repair. The correct procedure would be to scan the fault code memory and see what it says. If a sensor has an intermittent fault, there will be a code logged towards it. If no codes are logged, the vehicle should be driven whilst plugged into the diagnostic tool and live data monitored and recorded so you can see exactly what's going on when the fault occurs. Even this doesn't mean a sensor is faulty. The wiring must be thoroughly inspected along the complete length from the transmission to the ECU. I have seen similar faults occur where 'mechanics' change and change various sensors but the fault still exists when the real issue was damaged sheathing causing the wires to the sensor to short circuit and send the vehicle into limp mode which was reset by turning the vehicle on and off again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gautam Posted April 23, 2016 Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 Did you miss the part about the TSB? And no real "mechanic" would NOT check the wiring while replacing sensors a TSB tells him to replace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
