I just had this problem resolved, but it was by accident more than anything else. With the help of Pete K. here on this forum site, I had an emissions problem solved. There is a TSB for emissions problems that lead to my ignition coils almost completely metling. The original PCM (power control module) went out and caused my car to misfire. After taking it to a local Ford dealer, the problem was diagnosed and with the 8yr/ 80,000 mile emissions warranty, the problem was resolved. I had my (6) coils, (6) plugs and PCM replaced. But the PCM also controls the transfer sensor to the transmission, causing the "thumping" sound of the tranny. This had occured for the past year..so my thinking is that the PCM was already failing and when it finally did, not only was it effecting my transmission sensor, it caused the meltdown of the coils. I would suggest having the PCM replaced at the cost of the dealership before you get stranded or the emissions warranty expires. Please see my posts and/or the posts of Pete K. to get a copy of the TSB to take into your local Ford dealer. I hope this helps.

I have noticed that the "transmission thump" seems to have been corrected with the new PCM as well (crossing my fingers). I have viewed other threads on this forum and it does appear that a lot of folks on here are having the thumping issue..maybe it may the first sign of the PCM going out. Thank you again.

I just experienced this same problem but thanks to the TSB from Pete K. my 2007 Ford Edge was fixed. Big Valley Ford in Stockton, CA took great care of me. I had 74,000 miles on my car and this report, including the 8yr./ 80,000 warranty made my car whole again. I had the PCM, plugs (6) and coils (6) replaced at no charge. The staff at BVF took such care of me I have no complaints at all. I have owned a Ford for 11 years now, Escape, 7 years and now my Edge for 4 and I am extremely satisfied. Thank you again Pete K., you are "The Man".
