• 12/31/2018· SERVICE BRAKES

  WHEN I HIT THE BRAKE HARD OR BRAKE OVER A BUMPY ROAD THE BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR AND SQUEAKING NOISE CAN BE HEARD. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP FOR TESTING AND REPAIR AND THEY SAID THE PROBLEM IS SO COMMON THAT THE PART IS NOT AVAILABLE AND ON BACK ORDER. WHILE THE CAR EVENTUALLY STOPS, IT IS A HAZARD BECAUSE IF IT FAILS YOU HAVE TO AVOID REAR ENDING A CAR IN FRONT OF YOU THAT IS STOPPED. THIS SOMETIMES RESULTS IN SWERVING OFF THE ROAD TO AVOID HITTING THAT PERSON. THIS IS A MANUFACTURER FLAW.

• 12/31/2016· UNKNOWN OR OTHER

  DRIVERS DOOR AJAR ALARM AND WARNING LIGHT OCCURS WHEN THE DOOR IS ACTUALLY CLOSED. THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK AUTOMATICALLY. WHEN YOU HIT THE SWITCH TO LOCK THE DOORS THEY LOCK AND THEN IMMEDIATELY UNLOCK. DOME LIGHTS STAY ON WHICH MAKES DRIVING AT NIGHT UNSAFE. THIS OCCURS AFTER STARTING THE CAR IN PARK AND CONTINUES WHILE DRIVING.

  DOOR SENSOR REFLECTS DOOR OPEN 3RD OR 4TH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. DOORS WILL NOT LOCK AND DOME LIGHT REMAINS ON.

• 12/31/2014· UNKNOWN OR OTHER

  DRIVER DOOR IS ALWAYS AJAR ON THE DASH PANEL. THIS CAUSES THE DOORS NOT TO LOCK WHEN INSIDE THE CAR AND IS VERY ANNOYING WHEN IT DINGS/RINGS EVERYTIME YOU TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF THE BRAKE. I BELIEVE IT IS THE SENSOR AND I AM NOT WILLING TO PAY $150.00 AT THE DEALERSHIP JUST TO FIND OUT WHAT IT IS AND THEN PAY TO HAVE IT FIXED. THE CAR IS NOT THAT OLD AND SHOULD BE FIXED FOR FREE. WHILE RESEARCHING ON THE INTERNET, THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH MY MAKE AND MODEL OF CAR. VERY DISAPPOINTING. *JS

• 12/30/2019· STEERING

  I WAS DRIVING MY CAR WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM. ALL OF A SUDDEN I GO TO PUT MY CAR INTO REVERSE TO BACK UP MY DRIVEWAY AND LOST ALL POWER STEERING. I WAS UNABLE TO TURN MY CAR IN ANY DIRECTION AND WAS STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET WITH 2 YOUNG CHILDREN IN MY VEHICLE. ONCE I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON THE POWER STEERING CAME BACK.

• 12/30/2016· POWER TRAIN,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

  MY TRUCK DISPLAYS "SHIFT TO PARK" WHEN IN PARK AND THE INDICATOR IS NOT ILLUMINATED WHETHER THE ENGINE IS OFF OR ON. I HAD TO REPLACE A BATTERY DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. EVEN THOUGH THE CAR IS OFF THE ELECTRONICS STAY ON DRAWING POWER BECAUSE IT'S NOT SENSING THE VEHICLE IS IN PARK. THIS PROBLEM IS WIDELY KNOWN AND FORD HAS A TSB FOR THE SHIFTER BUT NO RECALL. I'VE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE AND WILL NOT PURCHASE ANOTHER FORD AGAIN.

• 12/30/2016· STRUCTURE

  THE DRIVERS DOOR GIVES ERROR UPON CLOSING INDICATING THE DOOR IS AJAR. AFTER CLOSING DOOR MANY TIMES THE MESSAGE IS STILL THERE. WHEN THE DOOR IS AJAR THE DOOR LOCKS WILL NOT FUNCTION MEANING YOU ARE VULNERABLE TO A CAR JACKING BECAUSE YOUR DOORS WON'T LOCK. WHEN YOU GET OUT THE CAR THE SAME ISSUE BUT THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WILL STAY ON UNTIL THE FAILSAFE TIMES THEM OUT FOR EMERGENCY SHUTOFF BUT, THE DOORS ARE STILL UNLOCKED. THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO BECOME WORST IN THE WINTER TIME. I DO NOT EXPERIENCE THIS PROBLEM DURING THE WARM SUMMER MONTHS.

• 12/30/2016· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,STRUCTURE

  DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT WILL NOT GO OFF WHEN DRIVERS DOOR IS COMPLETELY SHUT. THIS CAUSES DOME LIGHTS TO STAY ON UNTIL CAR IS MOVING CAUSING A VISIBILITY PROBLEM. DOORS WILL NOT LOCK EVEN WHEN LOCKED MANUALLY DOORS WILL UNLOCK BY ITSELF WHILE CAR IS IN MOTION CAUSING A CHILD IN BACK SEAT TO OPEN A DOOR WHILE THE CAR IS MOVING AND POSSIBLY FALLING FROM CAR.

• 12/30/2016· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,STRUCTURE

  BOTH FRONT LEFT AND REAR LEFT DOOR SENSORS SHOW THAT THE DOORS ARE OPEN ALTHOUGH ITS FULLY CLOSED. THEREFORE THE CABIN LIGHTS STAY ON AND THE DOORS CANNOT BE LOCKED. MY 2.5 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER OPENED THE DOOR WHILE I WAS DRIVING ALTHOUGH THE DOORS WERE SUPPOSED TO LOCKED. *TR

• 12/30/2014· LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES

  DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR AJAR WHEN THE DOOR IS POSITIVELY SHUT. NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TO SHUT THE DOOR FAIL TO TURN OFF INTERIOR LAMPS AND LIGHT ON INSTRUMENT PANEL. THIS CREATES A DANGEROUS SITUATION SINCE I CAN NOT DEPICT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A FAULTY SWITCH OR MY CHILD ACTUALLY OPENING ONE OF THE VEHICLE DOORS. FROM THE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE I AM APPALLED AT THE LACK OF RESPONSE FROM FORD AND THE NTSB. DO CHILDREN HAVE TO LOSE THEIR LIVES BEFORE A RECALL IS INITIATED? SHAME ON YOU! *JS

  FORD EDGE 2013 EVERY COUPLE OF MONTHS YOU WILL FIND THE BRAKE REACH TO THE FLOOR SUDDENLY. I VISITED THE AGENCY SOME TIMES THEY SAYING MASTER CILINDER AND SOME TIMES HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT AND BOTH ARE VERY EXPENSIVE BECAUSE MOST OF THIS CARS MODEL ALWAYS CHANGE IT.

THIS ISSUE FIRST OCCURRED DURING CITY DRIVING AND PROGRESSIVELY GOT WORSE.

• 12/28/2016· EXTERIOR LIGHTING,STRUCTURE

  DRIVER DOOR AJAR LIGHT REMAINS ON WHEN ALL DOORS ARE CLOSED AND LOCKED. DOME AND EXTERIOR SIDE MIRROR LIGHTS STAY LITE DUE TO THIS. CAR IS IN PARK AND IF YOU SHIFT INTO DRIVE WHEN THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT IS ON THEN THE CAR TELLS YOU TO SHIFT INTO PARK AND THE INTERIOR LIGHT STAY ON. THIS STARTED THE WEEK ON DEC 19, 2016 AND HAS BEEN HAPPENING CONTINUOUSLY THROUGH OUT THE WEEK AND WEEKEND. CAR HAS BEEN TAKEN TO FORD TODAY 12/28/2016 AND OF COURSE THEY'RE ARGUING ITS NOT A SERVICE BULLETIN WHICH MEANS I WILL PROBABLY END UP PAYING THE DEDUCTIBLE ON MY EXTENDED WARRANTY TO GET IT FIXED WHEN THIS IS CLEARLY A FORD ISSUE.

• 12/28/2016· SERVICE BRAKES

  AT APPROXIMATELY 46,000 MILES, MY 2013 FORD EDGE'S BRAKES FAILED. I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE BEHIND A SEMI TRUCK WHEN THEY HIT THE BRAKES. BRAKES WERE LOCKED, HARD TO PRESS AND THE VEHICLE DID NOT SLOW DOWN. THANKFULLY THERE WAS NO ONE ON THE FOLLOWING LANE AND I WAS ABLE TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. I DECELERATED AND WITHIN A COUPLE OF SECONDS BRAKES BECAME RESPONSIVE AGAIN. I NEEDED TO MAKE IT HOME, DROVE TRYING TO GO AS SLOW AS POSSIBLE AND STAYING AWAY FROM OTHER CARS, HOWEVER BRAKES WORKED WITHOUT ISSUES. APPROACHING HOME THERE WAS A STOP SIGN AND AGAIN I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT WHEN THE BRAKES LOCKED AND THE CAR DID NOT STOP. THIS TIME A LOUD WHISTLING NOISE FILLED THE CABIN. TO ADD INSULT TO INJURY, EVEN THOUGH THE DEALER SAYS THEY KNOW BRAKES ARE FAILING IN THEIR F150'S AND FORD EDGES, THERE IS NO RECALL, AND THEY MADE ME PAY A DEDUCTIBLE TO FIX THE CAR THAT IS UNDER WARRANTY. APPARENTLY SOMEONE DECIDED THAT THE EXPENSE OF THE ESTIMATED NUMBER OF PEOPLE THEY PUT AT RISK OF DEATH OR INJURY IS STILL LESS THAN WHAT IT WOULD COST THEM TO FIX THEIR FAULTY BRAKES. HERE IS THE KICKER, I BOUGHT THIS CAR CERTIFIED PRE OWNED IN JULY 2016. I GOT MY CAR BACK TODAY, THEY FIXED THE FAULTY BRAKE BOOSTERS AND THE CABIN IS UNCHARACTERISTICALLY QUIET. SINCE I HAD BOUGHT THE CAR THERE WAS A QUIET HISS WHEN I HIT THE BRAKES AND THE SALES PERSON TOLD ME THAT WAS NORMAL FOR THE CAR, I NEVER HAD A FORD BEFORE AND THE BRAKES DID WORK ORIGINALLY SO I DIDN'T GIVE IT ANOTHER THOUGHT. BUT NOW THAT ITS QUIET I KNOW THAT THE BRAKES WERE FAILING AT THAT POINT. HOW WAS BILL CURRIE FORD IN TAMPA, ABLE TO CERTIFY THIS CAR WHEN THE BRAKES WERE ALREADY FAILING!!!!! THEY SOLD ME A DEATH TRAP!

• 12/27/2023· BACK OVER PREVENTION

  The contact owns a 2013 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while the vehicle was shifted into reverse, the back over prevention camera image was displayed upside down. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and the contact was informed that the vehicle should be taken to the dealer to be serviced. The dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was contacted and referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The approximate failure mileage was 120,000.

• 12/27/2018· SERVICE BRAKES

  WHILE DRIVING MY 2013 FORD EDGE THE BRAKE SYSTEM ON MY VEHICLE BEGAN TO FAIL ON THE HIGHWAY. WHEN APPLYING PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL THE BRAKES BECAME VERY HARD, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED TO THE FLOOR BUT THE CAR WAS STILL MOVING FORWARD. THERE WAS ALSO A HISSING SOUND COMING FROM THE BRAKE PEDAL. I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT, THE SEAT WARMER FOR THE DRIVER SEAT WAS ON, AND THE CAR LUNGED FORWARD AND THEN THE ENGINE SHUT OFF AUTOMATICALLY. THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND INDICATED LOW OIL AND TO PLACE THE CAR IN PARK. I PLACED THE CAR IN PARK, TURNED OFF THE KEY IN THE IGNITION. I THEN TURNED THE CAR BACK ON AND THE WARNING LIGHT WAS OFF ALONG WITH THE SEAT WARMER. I HAVE TO BELIEVE THIS WAS RELATED TO THE BRAKING ISSUE CREATING A POSSIBLE VACUUM LOSS THROUGH THE FAILED BRAKE BOOSTER SYSTEM AND INCREASING THE RPM'S. THE BRAKE BOOSTER SYSTEM IN MY CAR WAS REPAIRED (84,189 MILES) AT TIRES PLUS AT A COST OF $700 AND THE LOSS OF MY VEHICLE FOR TWO DAYS. THE SERVICE ADVISOR AT TIRES PLUS CALLED A LOCAL FORD DEALER SERVICE ADVISOR AND AFTER PROVIDING THE VIN# FOR MY CAR WAS ADVISED IT WAS NOT COVERED ALTHOUGH THIS IS A KNOW ISSUE AND A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN / CSPN1302 HAS BEEN ISSUED AND AMENDED WITH SUPPLEMENT #1. FORD MOTOR COMPANY NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS BY EITHER INCLUDING/EXTENDING THE CURRENT CSP 13N02 OR A RECALL TO REIMBURSE AUTO OWNERS THAT ARE DEALING WITH THE FAILING BRAKE BOOSTERS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT IS NOT GOING AWAY.

  DRIVER DOOR LATCH; DOOR WON'T LOCK OR STAY LOCKED INTERMITTENTLY; DOOR AJAR LIGHT COMES ON WHEN THE DOOR IS CLOSED. WHEN THE INTERMITTENT PROBLEM OCCURS, THE DOORS UNLOCK, THE DOME LIGHT COMES ON, WHICH MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO SEE WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT OR EARLY MORNING. THE BATTERY IS DRAINING-THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT CAUSES THE INTERIOR LIGHTS TO COME ON WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PARKED. IT WILL NOT LOCK FROM OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY.

• 12/25/2023· SERVICE BRAKES

  On Tuesday 10/17/2023 I was driving my wife's 2013 Edge on dry pavement at about 40 mph. A deer came from nowhere and I had to slam on the brakes HARD to barely miss it. The car slowed for a split second and then the Front Right Tire locked up and the car went into a full, fast moving slide uncontrollably into the middle of the oncoming lane which had 3 vehicles coming straight at me. I grew up driving cars without ABS and I knew to immediately let off the brakes to regain control and whip the car back in my lane before I caused a head on collision and double rear end collision between the 3 cars coming at me. I missed the oncoming lead car by only a few feet. My collision would have had a combined impact speed of 60 to 70mph. I was SHOCKED! I took the car to my long time mechanic and he drove it easily reproducing the same result. He was also SHOCKED and completely baffled because the car had no codes in all of his testing. He called Ford and searched all the repair forums, and technical bulletins and found nothing. I took it to another repair shop. They were also SHOCKED and suggested I take it to a Ford Dealership. I took the car to the Ford Dealer I purchased it from. They were SHOCKED and refused to return it unsolved. Early on a regional Ford Tech told them that they don't get involved in cars older than 5 years.They had the car for over 5 WEEKS and tried everything they could including donating all ABS components from a 2014 Edge that they had in their loaner fleet. Eventually they tested the other Edge with the computer hooked up and were SHOCKED to discover that it DID THE SAME THING. We all wished we had tried this first. They talked to Ford Engineering and were told that this is NORMAL operation for this car. Some people may never have to hit their brakes as hard as I did that day, but if they do, it could be CATASTROPHIC. I'll bet there's data out there to confirm this has caused many BAD accidents! See Attached FORD Invoice I HOPE THIS IS LOOKED INTO!
