Problem overview

Some Ford Edge owners report experiencing excessive RPM acceleration between 30 to 80 miles per hour, which may indicate potential transmission issues that require inspection. These RPM fluctuations can be caused by faulty spark plugs, leading to misfires, jerking, poor fuel economy, and vibrations. Additionally, unsteady RPM during acceleration can stem from various factors, including misfires and failing engine components. High RPM levels can potentially damage the engine and signal other failing parts, making prompt attention necessary. Furthermore, some owners find that fluctuating RPM may be related to problems with the idle air control valve (IAC), which regulates airflow to control engine idle speed. It is advisable for affected owners to consult a transmission specialist to diagnose the root cause of these RPM acceleration problems and determine the necessary repairs.
