Update on my 20110 Edge! The service manager came and picked up my car yesterday as Ford got the new sensor in yesterday! So wish me luck everyone because if this dosent work, then back to square one. Which is...the oregon lemon law. I love my car with all my heart and want to keep it, but cannot drive it like it was, The last time I drove it was 9 days ago,because it LURCHED forward into an INTERSECTION,,,Thank God no one was crossing in it they would have been ran over. Very scarey! Well FORD MOTOR COMPANY says this IS THE FIX.. I will let you all know how it works....

Just got off the phone with my Service Rep and this is related to the PTU.

Like Wolfie said this only involves Edge's made within a certain time frame so make sure you have your VIN number handy when calling in to check.

Ā 

I hope not. Mine is a 2 wheel drive and I got all excited when I read this. I was hoping this was a tranny issue theyd identified.

I WAITED APPROX 10 SECONDS(WHILE THE GUY BEHIND ME STARTED HONKING),,NOTHING HAPPENS, NO ENGINE REV UP NOTHING....I PANICKED THINKING IT WAS GOING TO LURCH FOWARD AND CLUNK, LIKE GETTING HIT FROM BEHIND, AND THEW THE CAR INTO NETURAL AND BACK INTO DRIVE. I GAVE IT A LITTLE GAS AND IT WENT FOWARD AS IT SHOULD.......FORD HASNT GOT IT YET AS FAR AS I AM CONCERND....WTF !

^Definitely not a good sign.

Although my car has never "lurched" forward this still leaves me concerned.

I have been hearing the thumping noise for quite sometime now and hope that it can be fixed by the

Ford techs in the first visit.

I'm not excited over the thought of wasiting time and money trying to fix something that Ford should have gotten right a long time ago.

What if they can't fix it? Is this going to turn into a fight with Ford to get my money back? "sigh"

Hey Mofsteel....gawd I hope you can jusst get the problem taken care of now. Thereis no reason why your service manager cannot pull up the bullitan on this problem its number is #21227 and it was realeased on May 5th.

There are alot of things on the paper that I didnt write down, so they should just print it out and give you a copy. That way if the problem isnt fixed by the new transmission sensor you have proff that ford says "this is the fix" this is not the fix as you read my car has already experienced problems and I havent even had in for a week

Ā 

not everyone may experience the problems I ve had, however this is a transmission sensor, and it supposed to be "the fix" for a ll these problems, unfortuanly, mine have been dangerous and life threating, to the point where my service manager has offered to come pick me up no matter where I am or what time day or night it happens again., and he will drive the car back for the LAST time himslef.

Ā 

The actual name of this report is:

OASIS SPECIAL SERVICE MESSAGE # 22127

Ā 

I am at the point this weekend to decide wether to install another DVM recoreder ( thats when the bulitan was issued, after we sent the recording to ford), or just drive back on their SHOWROOM FLOOR where I got it. At this point the doors could be open or closed....thats where I will parking it, heeheee.....

go to ford make them check it this is a huge saftey issue, or could be in the future, so far I have been lurched into a train track and 4 intersections 1 crosswalk

Good luck and if you have any questions feel free to email me at

Thanks for the update. Ill be dropping mine off at my incompetent dealership Monday. Hopefully this will fix my problem. Mine is lurching a little when accelerating but not that bad. Mines more like its just waiting a half second from pressing the gas to actually engage.

Ā 

I was installing some stereo gear in mine the other day and so I had the battery unhooked for several hours. When I took off the next morning, it was nearly 2 days before the clunking re-appeared. Maybe I was unconsciously babying the throttle or something but this made me think it is a computer issue and having the battery unhooked for that long reset the computer to the default settings. That kinda makes sense cause this thing drove just fine for the first 4-5 days I had it.

Hi...i don't know if I'm experiencing the same problem as described at the beginning of this thread. I've had the 2010 Edge, 2 wd , since August and it has about 4800 mi on it. This has happened to me twice so far...about a month apart. I'll try and describe it as best I can. After coming to a stop, when I give it some gas to start moving again, nothing happens for about a second and then the tranny kicks in and I begin to move. It feels like I'm ' popping' the clutch like I did in my younger days. The first time it happened, I thought that I might have been on something slippery on the road and the wheels didn't grab right away. The second time it happened the road was completely dry. I haven't gone to the dealer yet because it isn't happening on a regular basis and the techies can't do anything unless it's happening all the time. After I a have this delay problem, everything runs smoothly like nothing happened. Please let me know if I should be going to the dealer and quoting the above mentioned service bulletins. Thanks.

Any news on how this worked out Wolfie?

Ā 

Yep It is still not fixed. Ive had my car in the shop a total of 10 times and they have relaced parts and chips 4 times and back it goes again. They have however offered my ANY car I want and give me FULL payment for what I paid for my car. (43,000.00) so thats good news, but I have to do all the financeing and can't at this time so am still stuck with the car. :banghead: so Tues May 10 2011 I will take her back to ford again to put a recorder in again. Thats how Ford made the chip the first time around. So we will try it again. Best of luck
