Owner complaint, filed Apr 22, 2026 at 120,000 miles
“I am complaining that Recall # 21S12 has been unresolved for years now. They have replaced the passenger airbag, but not the Driver side. This is a serious issue and not addressing it in a timely matter puts me and my families safety at risk. In the case of the passenger Airbag, I was offered a loaner vehicle. Now with the Drivers side Airbag recall, I have not been offered the same measure of safety.”

I was dropping off my fiancée to her doctor appointment and while driving to park the car started to smoke profusely. I was unable to tell at first, but I quickly realized that there was a flame spouting from between the front windshield and underneath the hood of the car. I jumped out of the car and grabbed both my [XXX] and [XXX] out of the car and immediately started running towards the office. We weren't even a full 7ft away before the car was fully engulfed by the flames. The fire department came to put it out and it was towed away by our local trucking company where it's currently being held. There were no warning lights before this.

# 1. Brakes - There is a known brake issue with these vehicles. The brakes started making a loud hissing noise and we were almost unable to stop the vehicle and ended up in the middle of an intersection. This could have caused an accident and needs to be recalled. There was no warning, messages, or signs before this happened. These are the parts the repair shop and Ford dealership said needed to be replaced: Power Brake Booster, Hydraulic Control Unit, and Master Cylinder. #2 - Transmission - The car began to shake when trying to climb up a small hill and it also started to shake on the interstate. There were no warnings or messages that appeared.

My 2007 Ford Edge lost the use of my accelerometer pedal without any warning, while driving. The pedal collapsed to the floor. The engine continued to run. A wrench image appeared on the dashboard. After towing to service station the gas pedal worked again. No codes could be determined during TWO diagnostic procedures. After the first mechanics could not determine or diagnose a problem, nor replicate the problem, I had it towed to my local Ford Dealership. Their diagnosis claimed no indication of an issue on their diagnostic computer either. I’m afraid to drive my car.

My alternator keep draining my new batteries from to much electrical pull and turns off all my digital dash and says my brake system is in failure and there is something wrong with the suspension in the front end even though I have had it fixed and the same problem has returned . I had my battery explode. The transmission jerks whenever it shifts and the transmission fluid is full and I maintain it on a regular basis. It is driven in town only. I am scared of it catching on fire now since I just saw that it is still has a recall that has not been repaired and I bought it used and I was told all recalls were taken care of. I have my grandchildren in this vehicle weekly. I want to see about getting this looked at and repaired correctly. I fear for my safety.

On 11/7-22, I stopped at a major traffic light on my way to work and when the traffic light turned green and I motioned to drive forward, I noticed my car had stalled and proceeded to roll backwards in traffic. I quickly placed my foot on the gas pedal to move forward, however my car continued to roll backwards, almost hitting the vehicle behind me. So I immediately put on my emergency lights and pressed the brakes repeatedly, however my brakes were frozen (hard) and did not stop my car from rolling backwards. After several minutes, my car stopped rolling backwards and I was able to restart it and slowly drive off the major highway to get assistance. When driving off the highway my car was moving extremely slow and rough. Since the incident, my car have not been inspected or repaired by a mechanic. Prior to this incident, my car have stalled out at stops and while driving but never rolled backwards or lost brake control.

I am complaining that Recall # 21S12 has been unresolved for years now. They have replaced the passenger airbag, but not the Driver side. This is a serious issue and not addressing it in a timely matter puts me and my families safety at risk. In the case of the passenger Airbag, I was offered a loaner vehicle. Now with the Drivers side Airbag recall, I have not been offered the same measure of safety. Thank You, Sincerely, Floyd Baker

I traveled about 10 miles the other day and it happened about 20 times so now I'm trying not to drive until Friday when my shop can check the brakes and if I do have to drive I will stay great distance behind other vehicles. The mechanic said it sounds like brake booster problem. I checked online and found that other Ford Edge vehicles are having this problem, but there is no recall.

I AM FRUSTRATED WITH THIS CAR. I HAVE HAD IT FOR A YEAR AND NOTHING BUT ISSUES, I WAS EXPERENCING WHERE I WOULD GO TO START THE CAR AND THE CAR WOULD NOT TURN OVER I COULD SIT AND TRY FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES AND IT WOULD TURN OVER. I LEARNED IF I POUNDED ON THE DASH IT STARTED. ALSO WHEN I AM DRIVING AT ANY ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH BOARD LIGHT UP AND THE SPEDOMETER AND RPMS STOP WORKING AND THE COMPUTER PART STATES NO DATA. SOME TIMES IT STAYS ON FOR A WHILE SOME TIMES IT GOES OFF IMMEDIATELY, ANOTHER REMEMDY IS I WILL LIGHTLY TAB THE DASH AND THE LIGHTS COME BACK ON. WHEN I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE A TRANSMISSION WAS JUST PUT IN AND NOW NOT EVEN A YEAR LATER IT IS SHIFTING HARD AND DRIVING VERY BAD. FROM LOOKING OVER THE INTERNET THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE. wHY ARE THEY NOT PUTTING OUT AN RECALL. SHAME ON FORD FOR THIS ISSUE

There has been a recall on the airbags. I have been calling for three months trying to get the airbags done and inspected. I have called four different dealerships and they are all giving me a hard time saying that they do not have the parts in stock and that it could "take months" to get the airbag ordered and in if they are even willing to do this. One mechanic told me that it was not that big of a deal. I do not feel safe like this and I want the airbag replaced. I am going around in circled with this and Ford will not help me. I have called Ford corprate to no avail. I am very upset about this and am asking that they fix this problem. The tire keeps going flat as well due to a defect with their rims/tires. There was also an issue where the engine can catch fire however, the people from Ford do not seem to care. They do not have to drive this car, I do and I need to feel safe. This is a serious accident waiting to happen. I want these items to get fixed and not have people deny all of this. This is an open recall and they are giving me a hard time. I need help. I have been calling for four months now and cannot get help. Please help me fix this so I do not get injured in this car as well as any passangers, etc. Thank you.

Reading this record
NHTSA has issued a do-not-drive warning for a recall on this vehicle.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
