Is it time for new brakes? Are you hearing any squeaking or screeching coming from your car? It may be just your brake pads, or you might need a complete brake replacement. Just bring your car in or have it towed to our shop and we’ll take a look.
Electrical issues
Many people who own the ford edge have complained that they have electrical issues that have cost them hundreds of dollars to fix. The most common electrical problem is the “Door Ajar” warning light not turning off even when the door is closed.
If all the doors are closed but the “Door Ajar” light is still on, then there could be a short circuit in the dome light, a door switch stuck in the “on” position, a short circuit in the anti-theft system, or there could be some electrical wires exposed.
If the “Door Ajar” light issue is not resolved, then you may experience battery drain, doors that will not lock, and a key fob that will not lock or unlock the doors.
Transmission problems
Some Ford Edge owners, especially those who own the 2008 year model, have reported experiencing problems with their transmission. Some people have reported that their transmission slips from a higher gear to a lower gear on its own, a transmission that shudders and shakes, and complete transmission failure.
Faulty brake booster
A faulty brake booster can cause the brake pedal to feel extra stiff and hard to push down, increased stopping distance when braking, and it can produce a loud hissing noise. In extreme cases, sometimes the brake booster completely breaks and causes a brake system failure. Any problem with the brake booster requires immediate attention from a certified mechanic.

Flexplate issues
The flexplate is responsible for connecting the output of the engine to the input of the torque converter that you would typically find in an automatic transmission. For a manual transmission, you have the flywheel. The Ford Edge is known to have some issues with these parts. Any problem with the flexplate or flywheel and it can cause the vehicle to suddenly stop. Also, minor flexplate issues can greatly reduce fuel efficiency.
