This dealership is a scam, my car isn't even safe to drive because the (PSM) needs to be replaced and none of the modules are communicating but somehow they passed the inspection. I bought this car as is 2/24/26 and 2 days later it started overheating. I took to Big Al's like they recommended and Big Al's replaced the coolant assembly the car was still overheating so Big Al's recommended the electrical shop and I took it to them. Tidewater Auto Electric didn't find any electrical problems. So I took it to Dave's Tire and Auto center and they said the PSM needs to be replaced and all of the module because they are no longer communicating with each other. That's not safe and yet carland sold it to me anyway.

Within the last year I have replaced the right and left inner and outer tie rods, bought 4 new tires, maintained alignment and shortly after replaced the power steering hose and the driveshaft. Knowing I maintain my vehicle well, I drove myself and 4 friends 900 miles and the power steering fluid began leaking again. Mechanic tells me the rack and pinion needs replaced.I can hardly believe all this is wear and tear but it certainly caused a safety concern for me and my passengers. Now, another $2000

On February 22 our Ford Edge exploded in our driveway. We had only been home 15 minutes at the most when we heard the explosion. The vehicle was not running. We went outside and the vehicle was fully engulfed with flames. It was completely burned down to the metal and did over $7000 in damages to our home. It was parked in our driveway next to the home. Again, the car was not running. We have contacted the Ford Motor Company, but they keep giving us different dates on when we should hear from them. We have not had any prior issues with the vehicle and there wasn't any warning signs or any smell of gas anytime before the incident. The only recall we received was about the airbag and we took it to Ford to have it taken care of. When I called Ford after the incident, the customer care representative mentioned a recall about the gas tank bracket I believe, but we never received a notification about that. We haven't removed the vehicle from our property and it's still there. Ford hasn't asked to come look at it. They only requested the fire department report.

Fuel tank leaking at spot welds and mounting points. Fuel tank recall performed [XXX] @ 54,758 miles. We purchased the vehicle from a ford Dealer in Alpena MI Dean Arbour Ford in August of 2018. I have contacted this dealer about this issue as well as the Customer Care Center of Ford Motor Company. All tell me they only had a 2 year warranty on the repair. My concern is the recall was performed but did not fix this issue due to the same situation is happening with-in the same amount of time from manufacture date to the date of the original recall. They did not rectify the safety concern from the original recall they just replaced with the same style tank knowing it would fail again.

2 years ago car started losing power so took to garage for tune up. Changed spark plugs. They said that I needed one of the coils changed as well. Costly job. This did not fix the issue. Took to another shop who said that the computer needed to be changed because computer was burning out the coil. Have picture of burned coil. Again, this time replaced computer and coils ( all 6 coils. $2000 fix. Almost year later again same issue. Go back to same garage, covered in warranty. Explains to me that this is something Ford is aware of and has done nothing about. Boards are shorting out coils. They replaced computer again and charged me to install. This time is lasted only 6 months. My car only has 121,000 miles on it. I should not have replaced computer 3 times in 2 years. Tell me that this is right? I cannot drive the car at all because this will cause the engine to crack. The car needs to be towed each time. Loss of power can cause accident. Scary

Without warning while driving my vehicle loses the ability to excelerate. I am lucky I haven't been hit by another car. I patiently wait and after a few seconds it will move forward into the turn. I do not get a reading or warning lights of any kind. This has just started happening and it has occurred 4 x this week. I have an appointment to have it serviced. After reading countless on-line reports it sounds like it is a throttle body Assembly or switch issue. Sometimes it drives perfectly...I am concerned about this safety issue. My Edge is older, but only has 56,000. miles on it. I suspect that I am still covered on the extended warranty since my vehicle has lower mileage.

Called dealer on 10-10-2022, 2:30pm to arrange repair and was told that the dealer would call me when parts were available. I have not been contacted by the dealer or any other party. If this is an urgent safety problem and my life may be at risk, shouldn’t this be a higher priority for the dealer and manufacturer; should I consider my potential loss of life or disability to be collateral damage? Urgent matters allowed to languish for a full year or more do not qualify as making a good faith effort to resolve a safety recall.

When the car is at a complete stop or at low speed and then you start to drive again or pick up speed (ex: at a stop light or in a traffic jam) the car will jerk even when coasting and it will not pick up speed. It almost sounds like a belt is unwinding but it isn't. If I pull the car over, turn it completely off and wait a minute or two, it starts up again and drives with no problem. This happens several times a week. It also has a burning smell but no smoke is visible and nothing on the dashboard shows any indication of overheating engine. I've read online that this exact issue was found in newer models of the Ford Edge. No check engine light. Definitely a transmission issue as found in other newer models. This is a very dangerous issue and needs to be recalled.

I just submitted a complaint about the transmission system. It doesn't want to drive or speed up in slow traffic or when I'm trying to drive again after stopping. Upon a search, I came across a lot of complaints concerning the Ford Edge transmission and I screenshot a complaint from another Ford Edge owner that describes my ongoing issue EXACTLY as it happens to me. The Edge has a whole lot of transmission issues and on this particular site the complaints cover Edge 2007 through 2012. The transmission definitely needs to be recalled.

Advised by mechanic that there are issues with the brake booster master cylinder that are causing serious braking issues. He's seen this issue in many ford vehicles of similar age recently. Said this issue is serious and can cause major damage to vehicle and safety concerns for drivers and passengers if brakes go out when vehicle is in use.

We have maintained this vehicle from its start. It has been developing a burn out on both rear turn signals in the last two years. The bulbs seem to require replacement more than once every six months. The bulbs seem to be overheating and actually melting the plastic between the bulb glass and the insert itself. Viewing this online it seems to be a problem that goes back for years and yet Ford maintains it is not their problem. I feel it's dangerous and could cause a fire if this continues and seems to affect a majority of customers.

There has been no incident but I am unsatisfied with the amount of time the manufacturer is taking to remedy the situation. The recall is for a huge safety item and it means every time my family and I drive in my vehicle, we are unsafe. This does not meet the criteria for a road worthy vehicle until this is fixed. I called the FORD dealer for an update today and hope to have one soon.

IT STARTED STALLING, AND LOSING POWER WHILE DRIVING. WHEN THE AC IS TURNED ON IT STARTED DRIVING ROUGH AT LOW SPEEDS BUT WHEN THE AC IS OFF IT RUNS ROUGH AT HIGH SPEEDS. THE THROTTLE BODY SEEMS TO BEESSED UP IT NOW RUNS ROUGH AND IDLES ROUGH. IT'S ALMOST LIKE IT DOESN'T HAVE THE CORRECT FUEL TO AIR RATIO.

PEDAL WENT HARD AND DOWN TO THE FLOOR. CAME CLOSE TO REAR ENDING CAR IN FRONT OF ME. FROM WHAT I'VE HEARD THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE AND FORD DOESN'T HAVE A RECALL, ALTHOUGH THEY DO WITH NEWER YEARS OF THE SAME MODEL. VERY DANGEROUS AND THESE CARS SHOULD HAVE A RECALL.. IT'S ABSURD THAT A BRAKE BOOSTER SHOULD FAIL AND NOT HAVE A RECALL WITH A KNOWN DEADLY ISSUE.

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.

Most recent recall on file: Mar 10, 2021. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
