Has anyone tried to claim for this PCM/ECM issue in small claims court? I know my car is a 2008 but I only have 55,000 miles on it, this shouldn't have happened. The problem began when at the Ford plant. So far with this vehicle I of course had the bad airbag, next there was an electrical failure with the lift-gate which came down hitting my neck and shoulder. Now with this latest issue I was fortunate that the car didn't catch on fire. It is like the car is trying to kill me, or more likely Ford's attitude towards profit over quality and reliability.

So the Monday before Thanksgiving I was driving and all of a sudden had a bad " Shudder" while driving. CEL came on right away. It was # 1 coil failure. A few monthe ago I had a intermttent miss and it was coil 3 so I had replaced that and things were fine til this. So put another new coil in and still no go. Doing some research found that the PCM/ECM has no protection for a bad coil. It kills the driver for that cylinder if it is a complete coil failure. Dealer wanted almost $2500 for the new pcm and coils and new keys. I found www.circuitboardmedics.com and found the exact issue .

Had this same problem 2008 Ford Edge, I am a female and no auto mechanic. The dealership is charging me almost $3000 for a new computer and replacing coils that had melted. In 2008 I paid 40,005 for this piece of crap !!!!!! Just stupid I guess. 

 

 

Sent off my PCM/ECM and 4 days later had it back .

 

I put in all new coils and since I had 85,000 miles I replaced the plugs so I don't have to do it in 15,000 and repay for labor to do the same thing.

 

I used factory Ford Coils & Plugs. $547 and the $359.99 Repair which included Overnight Shipping both ways. I got to keep all my keys and Didn't have to worry about reprogramming my remote start bypass. These guys are very helpful and fast.

Might be 2020, but my 2008 only has 54,000 miles. This Ltd. edition has had so many recalls. FORD - once again Fix or repair daily !!! I just looked at the total sale price for this in 2008, it was $40,006.16 and this was a dealers demo with a 1000 miles on the odometer. In retrospect, I should have had my head examined. I have had Fords my entire life, including Lincoln, Thunderbird, 2 Mustangs, Ford Explorer ............. NO MORE FORDS FOR ME>  

I have a 2008 Ford Edge purchased new, only has 54,000 miles on it. My lift gate is totally  unoperational  Prior to this it began shutting on its own striking me in the head and by reflex I shoved it open trying to step away from it before I could do this it came down again fast and caught my neck and shoulder.  This is not just a mechanical or electrical problem, it is a dangerous hazard.
