  91K MILES AND MY BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR. BRAKE PADS ARE 50%, NO LEAKING OR CONTAMINATED BRAKE FLUID. DOES IT IN EVERY DRIVING CONDITION, FORWARD, REVERSE, AND ALL SPEEDS.

• 12/31/2016· STRUCTURE

  THE DRIVER DOOR SENSOR IS NOT WORKING CORRECTLY. THE DRIVER DOOR AJAR NOTIFICATION REMAINS ON ONCE THE DOOR IS CLOSED, AND THE INTERIOR LIGHT WILL NOT TURN OFF. I ALSO CANNOT LOCK MY DOORS. I END UP DRIVING WITH THE INTERIOR LIGHT ON BECAUSE IT WILL NOT GO OUT. AT NIGHT TIME, THIS IS ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS, NOT TO MENTION IT DRAINS THE BATTERY BY STAYING ON WHEN NOT BEING DRIVEN. WHEN I EXIT THE CAR AND SHUT THE DOOR, IT TAKES ME UP TO FIVE MINUTES SOMETIMES TO OPEN AND RE-SHUT THE DOOR TO EVENTUALLY GET THE SENSOR TO REGISTER AND THE LIGHT TO GO OFF. IT'S RIDICULOUS AND FRUSTRATING. I HOPE THAT THIS ISSUE WILL LEAD TO A RECALL BECAUSE I HAVE SEEN A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT IT. MY CAR JUST HIT 62K MILES. I SAW OTHERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AT THE SAME MILEAGE.

  TAKATA RECALL THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR LATCH DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY CAUSING THE ALARM TO GO OFF UNEXPECTEDLY, AS WELL AS "DOOR AJAR" DISPLAYED WHEN YOU GET INTO THE VEHICLE AND CLOSE THE DOOR. MANUALLY FLIPPING THE SWITCH UP WITH FINGERS SOMETIMES WORKS, BUT NOT RELIABLE AND SEEMS TO BE A CONCERN FOR DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE HEARING AIR COMING IN BECAUSE THE DOOR ISN'T SECURELY LATCHED. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY FORD AS IT SEEMS TO BE AN ENGINEERING ERROR. *TR

• 12/28/2025· SERVICE BRAKES

  This issue happened back June 2025 when I make a wide turn, the car automatically go into limp mode and all the lights on the dashboard that is related to the brake system comes on, so for example, the advanced traction control sensor, the brake mode, the traction mode and the ABS mode and this is very dangerous because I realize when I am driving locally, and if I’m in the middle of a major intersection, I can be struck because I would have to immediately turn my car off turn it back on and then it will start moving again. Sometimes it takes a while for it to start moving again.

• 12/28/2021· SERVICE BRAKES

  Brakes became hard and vehicle wouldn’t stop. Took to dealer and was diagnosed as a faulty brake booster. Discovered this is a known factory defect specific to our vehicle (letters sent out in 2014 but we didn’t get one) Ford won’t repair free of charge because the vehicle is over 10 years. It’s a granny car driven rarely (51000 miles), in show room shape, and didn’t manifest the condition until now. Even if we had received a letter and had it inspected years ago, we all know it would not have shown the problem as it would not have existed yet. We can’t afford repairs caused by the manufacturer. This is the second time we’ve been screwed by Ford. The first was over Ford Sync and their black screen. This current condition is dangerous and could kill somebody. Ford needs to recall these vehicles, not try to play it where owners have to “discover” factory defects and then fight to get them repaired.

  I HAD BREAK ISSUES WHERE THE PEDAL WAS TIGHT AND IT TOOK A LOT OF PRESSURE TO STOP. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER RESULTING IN THE BREAK BOOSTER BEING REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. MAYBE 3 MONTHS LATER I HAD MORE PROBLEMS BREAKING. THIS TIME THE PEDAL WAS SOFT AND WOULD TRAVEL TO THE FLOOR WHILE BREAKING. THIS TIME THE DEALER SAYS IT'S THE HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT. SOUNDS LIKE BOTH PARTS SHOULD BE UNDER WARRANTY AND REPLACED AT THE SAME TIME.

  THE SUV GAVE ME A BLINKING ENGINE LIGHT. DECODING TO A MISFIRE PROBLEM. THE FIRST TIME I HAD THE CAR LOOKED AT THEY REPLACED THE COIL PACKS. ABOUT 10,000 MILES LATER I GOT THE SAME MISFIRE PROBLEM. SOME OF THE COIL PACKS WERE MELTED. I HAD THE SUV TOWED TO A GARAGE AND THEY SAID THE ENGINE CONTROL MODULE IS DEFECTIVE. THEY REPLACED THE CONTROL MODULE FOR $1500.00. YIKES. DEALER TOLD ME THAT FORD MOTOR COMPANY KNOWS THE ECM IS DEFECTIVE BUT WON'T RECALL SO I HAVE TO PAY FOR THEIR SCREW UP. WANT A REFUND FROM FORD.

  I WAS DRIVING MY FORD EDGE ON ROUTE 303 IN PHOENIX AT ABOUT 60 MILES PER HOUR WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY STARTED SHAKING AND LOSING POWER. IT ALLOWED ME TO DRIVE A VERY SHORT DISTANCE UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE CAR, IN A TURN LANE WITH A TRACTOR TRAILER ON MY TAIL ...VERY DISCONCERTING! A YELLOW WRENCH LIGHT WAS SHOWING ALONG WITH SOME NOTICE ABOUT MY TRACTION BEING OFF, I BELIEVE. AFTER SITTING A FEW MINUTES I WAS ABLE TO MOVE IT OFF THE TURN LANE AND INTO A FAIRLY SAFE LANE AHEAD. FORTUNATELY A POLICEMAN PULLED UP BEHIND ME AND I SHUT OFF THE ENGINE AND CALLED AAA FOR A TOW. 20 MINUTES LATER, I TURNED ON THE ENGINE WHICH NOW SEEMED FINE SO THE POLICEMAN SUGGESTED THAT I PULL FORWARD INTO A SAFER AREA. AFTER DOING SOTHEBY'S CAR SEEMED FINE AGAIN SO I DROVE IT TO MY DAUGHTER'S HOUSE SEVERAL MILES AWAY AND CANCELLED THE TOW. I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE ON LINE SINCE AND THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MANY EDGE OWNERS WHO HAVE FEARED FOR THEIR LIVES WHEN THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO THEM. SOME SAY CLEANING OR REPLACING THE THROTTLE PLATE SEEMED TO WORK BUT OTHERS HAVE FOUND THAT THE DEALERS INSIST NOTHING IS WRONG AFTER TESTING IT.... IT SEEMS TO HAVE HAPPENED TOO MANY TIMES FOR NOTHING TO BE DONE.... I THINK A RECALL IS IN ORDER SO THAT THE DEALERSHIPS CAN FIND OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS BEFORE SOMEONE LOSES THEIR LIFE, IF THAT HASN'T ALREADY ACCUR. I HAVE A 2011 FORD EDGE.

LEFT WORK AND JUST PULLED OUT OF THE LOT SAME THING HAPPENED, STALLED AND SHOOK VIOLENTLY SO I TURNED THE CAR OFF. IT STARTED WITH NO PROBLEM, WENT TO PULL BACK IN THE LOT AND IT ALL HAPPENED AGAIN. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO MATHEW CURRIES FORD IN NOKOMIS, FL. SERVICE TECH SAYS HES NOT ABLE TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM SO HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. THERE SEEMS TO BE ALOT OF OTHER COMPLAINTS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT CAN CAUSE SERIOUS MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT, AND FORD NEEDS TO CORRECT THE ISSUE SINCE THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ONGOING ISSUE.

• 12/20/2011· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,EQUIPMENT

  THE NAVIGATION IS PROBABLY THE MOST USER UNFRIENDLY UNIT WE HAVE EVER USED AND HAVE WRITTEN THREE TIMES TO CORRECT THE BAD INFORMATION IN IT; I.E. TAKES YOU TO THE WRONG LOCATION. A NAVIGATIONAL SYSTEM THAT CANNOT BE TRUSTED IS WORSE THAN NOT HAVING ONE AT ALL. THERE ARE MANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS NAVIGATION SYSTEM IN ADDITION TO THE OTHER 'SENSOR' SAFETY GOODIES ON THIS VEHICLE. THE BLISS IS A SAFETY HAZARD; WORTHLESS. MY SYNC SYSTEM KEEPS BLANKING OUT (REFERRED TO BY EVERYONE AS THE 'BLACK SCREEN') OR A SCREEN THAT LOCKS UP AND WILL NOT PERFORM ANY FUNCTION WHATSOEVER. WHEN RESEARCHING THIS VEHICLE I FOUND INFORMATION ON THIS PROBLEM AS EARLY AS 2008. I PRINTED ALL THE INFORMATION TO SHOW THE SALESMAN. I HANDED HIM 40 PAGES OF INFORMATION ON THE 'BLACK SCREEN' AND ASKED IF THIS IS STILL A PROBLEM HE SAID NO. WE PURCHASED THE 2011 FORD EDGE LIMITED WITH ALL THE GOODIES. NOW AND SINCE THE LAST ROUND WE EXPERIENCED THE 'LOCKED SCREEN' AGAIN WHICH REQUIRED ANOTHER TRIP TO OUR FORD DEALER. BY THE WAY WE RECEIVED NO PAPER WORK ON THE REPAIR. WE HAVE OVER 15K MILES ON THE VEHICLE NOW AND HAVE HAD EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM NUMEROUS TIMES. THE NAVIGATION AND THE BLISS SYSTEMS ARE NOT ONLY WORTHLESS BUT SAFETY HAZARDS. A $42,000 MISTAKE?? SHAME ON FORD FOR CONTINUING ON SELLING THIS PRODUCT AND OUR GOVERNMENT FOR LETTING THEM DO SO - EVER WONDER WHY THE CONSUMER LOST THEIR FAITH??? FORD - REALLY? *TR

• 12/18/2023· SERVICE BRAKES

  The Ford Edge has a known and documented issue with the brake booster failing and having to be replaced numerous times. I recently had to apply my brakes suddenly to avoid a collision with a car that cut me off. After noticed the brakes lost pressure and appear to be compromised. This is the second time this has happened after already replacing the same brake booster issue less than 3 years ago. While looking online this appears to be an ongoing problem with this make and model but has not been addressed by the manufacturer. This causes safety issues and repetitive - expensive repair issues.

THE CLOSEST REPAIR SHOP WAS DISPATCHED TO TOW MY VEHICLE WHERE IT CURRENTLY REMAINS. I CONTACTED FORD TO ADVISE ABOUT THE ISSUE AND INQUIRE IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS. I WAS QUICKLY ADVISED THIS WOULD NOT BE COVERED AND THERE WERE NO RECALL THAT WOULD BE ASSOCIATED WITH SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAPPENING. I DECIDED TO GO ONLINE TO CHECK IF OTHER OWNERS HAD SAME OR SIMILAR AND WAS VERY SHOCKED TO SEE THE NUMBER OF FORD VEHICLE OWNERS DESCRIBING THE SAME AND OR VERY SIMILAR SITUATIONS.

• 12/13/2023· BACK OVER PREVENTION

  Have a 2011 Ford Edge Limited purchased new from a local Ford dealer. Seems like Ford has had issues with the backup cameras in all models that cameras have been available since 2007, have resisted and continues not to issue a safety recall. Since 2018 NHTSA have required backup cameras as safety equipment in all vehicles. This camera issues is definitely a safety issue. Ford and its dealer will not addressed it unless they charge and excessive amount for the repair running the gamut from $100 to $800 which may or may not correct the problem. NHTSA needs to require and mandate that the Ford Motor Co declared this as a safety recall issue and correct the problem. All their vehicles, new or old, have been having problems with this backup camera safety equipment.
