MY 2010 FORD EDGE GOT T-BONED , SMASHED IN BOTH DOORS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LEFT DRIVERS DOOR AND LEFT PASSENGERS DOOR WITH NO AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, THE BRAKE PEDAL FELT STIFF WHEN IT WAS DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT RELEASED THE PEDAL AND DEPRESSED IT AGAIN AND WAS ABLE TO SLOW DOWN THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT. THE BRAKES MADE A HISSING SOUND WHEN ENGAGED AND THE PEDAL HAD TO BE DEPRESSED TO THE FLOORBOARD IN ORDER TO FUNCTION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 139,334.

ON THE STATED DATE, MY SON PULLED THE HANDLE TO RELEASE THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT DOOR AND THE DOOR DID NOT OPEN. I HAVE TRACED THE PROBLEM TO A DEFECTIVE DOOR LATCH MECHANISM. THE CABLE IS INTACT AND THE PROBLEM IS INSIDE THE DOOR LATCH. I AM OF THE OPINION THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND NOT ONE THAT I THE CONSUMER SHOULD HAVE TO BEAR THE BURDEN OF PARTS AND LABOR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH AND COMING TO A STOP, AN ABNORMAL SOUND WAS HEARD FROM THE VEHICLE. IN ADDITION, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED BUT THE BRAKES FAILED TO RESPOND. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000.

CAR HAS HAD A "DRAGGING" FEELING. HAS BEEN MAKING INTERMITTENT NOISE BUT UNABLE TO IDENTIFY PROBLEM. FINALLY HAD A DIAGNOSIS OF PTU FAILURE TO THE TUNE OF $2000.00. MY LAST "MADE IN USA" CAR. HERE I COME HONDA.

1 WEEK AGO NOTICED A HISSING SOUND COMING FROM WHAT SEEMS TO BE THE BREAK PEDAL AREA WHILE APPLYING PRESSURE TO THE PEDAL AND ALSO WHILE TOTALLY ENGAGED AND VEHICLE IS AT A COMPLETE STOP. YESTERDAY THE BREAK PEDAL HAS BECOME VERY HARD TO PRESS AND BREAK POWER IS VERY POOR AND HESITANT. ALSO HISSING STILL EXIST. THINKING MAYBE BREAK BOOSTER FAILURE OR VACUUM FAILURE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE HESITATED TO STOP. THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE LINES NEEDED TO BE FLUSHED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000.

WHILE DRIVE ALONG WITH NORMAL FLOW OF TRAFFIC, I CAME TO A WELL KNOWN STOP SIGN APPROACHING ONCOMING TRAFFIC IN BOTH DIRECTIONS. WHEN I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP, THE VEHICLE DIDN'T HAVE ANY BRAKES AND DID NOT EVEN ATTEMPT TO STOP. THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS HARD AND THERE WAS A LOUD WHOOSHING SOUND. AFTER REPEATED ATTEMPTS TO USE THE BRAKE PEDAL AS I USUALLY DO, THE SAME THING KEPT HAPPENING. IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT RATE OF SPEED OR ROAD CONDITIONS. IT IS A CLEAR SUNNY DAY. THE BRAKES SUDDENLY WENT OUT.

THE INTERIOR DOME LIGHTS WILL NOT TURN OFF. THE ONLY WAY TO TURN THEM OFF WAS TO PULL THEM DOWN AND UNPLUG THEM. THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH NUMEROUS FORD EDGE'S AND FORD SHOULD RECTIFY IT.

AT ABOUT 116,000 MILES ON MY 2010 FORD EDGE SE AWD, I STARTED NOTICING THE SMELL OF GAS. WHEN I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN TO GET CHECKED OUT I LEARNED THAT MY GAS TANK WAS LEAKING. THIS IS A 2010! AND WHAT MAKES ME EVEN MORE FURIOUS IS THAT THE 2007-2008 FORD EDGES HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT NOT MINE. ESTIMATED COST OF REPAIRS ARE $3,000.

I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING A HISSING NOISE WHEN DEPRESSING THE BRAKE. A FEW TIMES, THE BRAKE HAS BEEN DIFFICULT TO DEPRESS WHEN TRYING TO STOP THE VEHICLE. BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS HAVE BEEN REPLACED AN IS NOT THE PROBLEM.

BRAKES STARTED MAKING A VERY LOUD "HISSING" SOUND AND OCCASIONALLY FELT LIKE THE PEDAL WOULDN'T DEPRESS. HAD THE CAR INSPECTED AT DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THE BRAKES WERE FINE. TODAY (MONTH LATER) THE BRAKES STILL MAKE THE "HISSING" SOUND AND THE BRAKE WON'T DEPRESS WITHOUT REALLY STEPPING ON IT HARD. IT FEELS LIKE THE CAR WILL NOT STOP. I DRIVE MY KIDS IN THIS CAR AND IT TERRIFIES ME - THIS IS CLEARLY A PROBLEM THAT CAN LEAD TO FATAL RESULTS. I AM SURPRISED TO FIND OUT THERE IS NO RECALL ON THE BRAKE BOOSTER, WHICH IS THE PROBLEM; GIVEN THE INCIDENTS WITH GM AND TOYOTA I AM SHOCKED FORD HAS MADE NO EFFORT TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. I AM NOW NOT SURE I WILL PURCHASE A FORD AGAIN IN THE FUTURE IF I CAN'T TRUST THEY WILL ISSUE NECESSARY SAFETY RECALLS.

BACK DOOR WAS NOT LATCHING AND UNABLE TO CLOSE. MY VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED FROM MY EMPLOYMENT TO MY RESIDENCE AS THE DOOR KEPT POPPING OPEN. FORD FIXED THE LATCH FOR 330.00, THE DEALER SPECIAL ORDERED A NEW LATCHING SYSTEM FOR MY 2010 FORD EDGE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD EDGE. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE FORWARD, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED WITHOUT WARNING AND EXCESSIVE FORCE WAS REQUIRED. THE FAILURE CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO CRASH INTO A POLE. THE AIR BAGS HAD NOT DEPLOYED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE AND WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 97,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

A LOUD "HISSING" NOISE CAN BE HEARD WHEN DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL. BRAKES FEEL "SPONGEY" AND REQUIRE CONSIDERABLE EFFORT TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO A FULL STOP. I TOOK THE CAR INTO TIRE KINGDOM FOR DIAGNOSIS AND WAS TOLD THE ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS ON THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE NEEDED REPLACED. THIS WAS COMPLETED ONLY TO FIND IT DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. THE MANAGER CONTACTED FORD AND WAS ADVISED THERE IS A RECALL ON THE POWER BRAKE BOOSTER FOR THE MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR OF MY VEHICLE. I CONTACTED FORD TO SCHEDULE THE REPAIR AND WAS TOLD THAT MY VIN IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL AND THE REPAIR WOULD NOT BE COVERED. WHEN I QUESTIONED FURTHER I WAS ADVISED THE RECALL ONLY COVERS "SOME" OF THE CARS ASSEMBLED AT THE OAKVILLE PLANT WITH MY MAKE, MODEL , AND YEAR AND THAT THEY COULD NOT COVER THE REPLACEMENT OF THIS FAULTY EQUIPMENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS VIOLENTLY DEPRESSED IN ORDER FOR THE VEHICLE TO INCREASE IN SPEED. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE HESITATED WHEN SHIFTING GEARS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 41,000.

THE BRAKES ON MY 2010 FORD EDGE MAKE A HISSING NOISE WHEN PRESSED. IN ADDITION, THE BRAKE PEDAL FEELS SPONGY AND THE CAR WILL ONLY STOP WHEN YOU PRESS THE PEDAL ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR BOARD. THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT FORD IS AWARE OF, YET THEY REFUSE TO COVER THE COST OF THE REPAIR. FORD RELEASED A "CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM 13N02" MEMO DESCRIBING THE EXACT SYMPTOMS THAT MY CAR IS SHOWING AND STATED THAT THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE BRAKE BOOSTER SYSTEM. HOWEVER, THE MEMO STATES THAT ONLY CERTAIN 2010 VEHICLES ARE AFFECTED AND MINE IS NOT ONE OF THEM. I AM TERRIFIED THAT ONE DAY SOON, THE CAR WILL NOT STOP AT ALL AND MY FAMILY AND I WILL BE SERIOUSLY INJURED. WE RECEIVED A QUOTE OF APPROXIMATELY $1400 TO REPAIR THE BRAKE BOOSTER SYSTEM. FORD IS COMPLETELY AWARE THAT THE BRAKES ON THE 2010 EDGE ARE FAULTY, BUT THEY KNOWINGLY CONTINUE TO PLACE FAMILIES IN DANGER BY NOT ACKNOWLEDGING THAT THE BRAKE DEFECT IS MORE WIDESPREAD.

REAR WHEEL BEARING FAILURE.

I HAVE ONLY OWNED MY 2010 FORD EDGE LESS THAN A YEAR AND THE PANORAMIC MOONROOF MOTORS WENT OUT. NOT JUST ONE, BUT BOTH. I LIVE IN WISCONSIN AND REALLY CAN ONLY USE THE MOONROOF MAYBE 4 MONTHS OUT THE YEAR, AND FOR BOTH MOTORS TO BLOW IS NOT GOOD. MY FAITH IN FORD HAS DEAD. IT IS GOING TO COST ME OVER 1,000 TO FIX.

I HAVE A 2010 FORD EDGE. WHEN PARKED IN MY GARAGE, I WOULD NOTICE THE ODOR OF GASOLINE. LATER, I NOTICED FUEL STAINS ON MY SLIGHTLY SLANTED DRIVEWAY UNDER WHERE THE EDGE WAS OFTEN PARKED. THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP INSPECTED MY TANK AND FOUND THAT IT WAS SEVERELY CORRODED IN SEVERAL LOCATIONS, INCLUDING THE SEAMS OF THE TANK. SEVERAL CALLS TO VARIOUS NUMBERS FOR FORD CUSTOMER RELATIONS ONLY RESULT IN MANY MINUTES ON HOLD, TO BE TOLD THE SAME THING - WHICH IS THAT THE 2010 IS NOT SUBJECT TO THE 14S22 RECALL FOR 2007 AND 2008 MODELS. THE REPRESENTATIVE TOLD ME TO KEEP MY RECEIPTS WHEN I HAVE THE REPAIRS DONE AND FORD MAY REIMBURSE ME IF THE RECALL IS EXPANDED. THE ESTIMATE FOR THE REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT OF THE CORRODED TANK IS $5000. ON TOP OF THAT, THERE ARE NO TANKS AVAILABLE. THIS GAS TANK PROBLEM IS AN ACKNOWLEDGED SAFETY ISSUE. APPARENTLY, FORD WOULD RATHER I DRIVE A VEHICLE THAT THEIR DEALERSHIP AFFIRMS IS UNSAFE, THAN ENROLL ME IN THE PROGRAMS AVAILABLE TO 2007/08 MODEL YEAR OWNERS WHO COME UNDER THE #14S22 RECALL. HOPEFULLY, THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE HAS REACHED A CRITICAL MASS TO BE DEFINED AS "A TREND." I PRAY THAT THERE ARE NO FIRES, INJURIES OR WORSE BECAUSE OF THIS SAFETY ISSUE.

REAR TAIL LIGHT REPLACEMENT FOR SECOND TIME ALONG WITH MARKER LIGHT. BOTH BULBS AND SOCKETS WERE BLACK AND HOT FROM EXTREME HEAT. CAUSE FOR CONCERN THAT THIS MAY START A FIRE.

PROBLEM TO BREAK THE CAR IN A SLOPE. WHEN I PRESS THE THE BREAK PEDAL, IT GONE ALL THE WAY OUT. WHEN I PRESS FOR A SECOND TIME IT STOP AT LEAST 25 FEET TO HIT A WALL. AS PER MECHANIC CONSULTED THIS WAS DUE TO A DEFECTIVE BREAK BOOSTER IN MY FORD EDGE SEL 2010.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND THE SEAT INDEPENDENTLY MOVED FORWARD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE SEAT TRACK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000. UPDATED 6/30/15*CN UPDATED 07/02/15*JB

BRAKES MADE HISSING SOUND WHEN PEDAL WAS PRESSED AND THEN HAD TO STOMP ON THE PEDAL TO GET THE CAR TO STOP. THE VEHICLE NEARLY SLID INTO A BUSY HIGHWAY AT THE INTERSECTION BECAUSE THE BRAKES DIDN'T ENGAGE. A CERTIFIED FORD TECHNICIAN AT THE DEALERSHIP SAID THE ISSUE WAS A FAULTY BRAKE BOOSTER THAT NEEDED REPLACED. APPARENTLY, THIS HAS BEEN A HUGE ISSUE WITH MANY FORD MODELS INCLUDING MINE. A SIMPLE GOOGLE SEARCH REVEALS HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS DEFECTIVE PART. PLEASE INVESTIGATE! THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND IT'S JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THERE IS A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. *TR

I WAS DRIVING UP HILL AT 40MPH, I FIRST NOTICED MY RPMS DROPPING, THEN MY SPEED. CAME HOME AND CALLED DEALERSHIP, AS MY VEHICLE IS UNDER WARRANTY, CAR WAS TOWED TO FAIRFIELD FORD. THEY CALLED LATER TO TELL ME IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY AND HE TOOK IT APART AND CLEANED IT. HE SAID AT THIS TIME, IT WAS FINE. OF COURSE, THIS WAS THE ONE THING NOT COVERED BY THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. WITHIN 2 WEEKS, THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. IT WAS INTERMITTENT. SO I HAD MY MECHANIC REPLACE THE PART. *TR

FOUND A TRANSMISSION LEAK ON THE FLOOR OF GARAGE. TOOK TO LOCAL TRANSMISSION MECHANIC WHERE HE DETERMINED THAT THE POWER TRANSFER UNIT REQUIRED TO BE REPLACED. AFTER A REVIEW OF THE INTERNET, FOUND THIS TO BE A PROBLEMATIC ISSUE WITH THE FORD EDGE. COMMUNICATED WITH FORD, HOWEVER NO ASSISTANCE ON MY $1,569.91 COST WAS PROVIDED ...UPDATED 03/31/15 *BF *TR

BRAKES HAVE BECOME SPONGY AND A HISSING SOUND IS EMITTED WHEN THEY ARE PRESSED. PEDAL MUST BE PRESSED HARDER THAN NORMAL. *TR

STOP/BRAKE/SIGNAL LIGHT BURNED OUT 1ST TIME JUST REPLACED IT! BURNED OUT 2ND TIME A YEAR OR SO LATER, NOTICED THE RECEPTACLE LOOKED BLACK!! BURNED OUT 3RD TIME A DAY OR SO LATER, NOTED THE RECEPTACLE LOOKS REALLY BLACK,I GOT ONLINE AND FOUND OUT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL CAR !!!....DEALER KNOWS OF NO RECALL BUT I CAN ASSURE NOT HAVING A LEFT TURN SIGNAL IN THE REAR IS A REAL SAFETY HAZARD !!!! THE BULB SOCKET LOOKS AS IF HAS ALMOST MELTED AND I THINK IT POSES A REAL DANGER . *TR

DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT STAYS ON, CAN'T LOCK DOORS. INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON ALL THE TIME, HARD TO SEE AT NIGHT WHEN DRIVING WITH THE INTERIOR LIGHTS ON. HAD TO REPLACE BATTERY DUE TO LIGHT DRAINING BATTERY. FORD NEEDS TO ADDRESS. *TR

HAD TO PUSH THE BRAKE PEDAL VERY HARD TO STOP, SO BASICALLY NO POWER BRAKES. TOOK IT TO THE FORD DEALER AND PAID >$600 TO REPLACE THE BRAKE BOOSTER. I HAVE NEVER HAD TO REPLACE ONE OF THESE IN ANY CAR I HAVE OWNED. THIS IS NOT A REPAIR THAT SHOULD BE NEEDED GIVEN THE NUMBER OF MILES ON THE CAR. FORD SHOULD BE THE ONE PAYING FOR THIS REPAIR. *TR

VERY HARD BRAKE. EXTREMELY HARD TO STOP ESPECIALLY AT A SLOW ROLL. BRAKING AT FASTER (20-30MPH) SPEEDS MORE EFFECTIVE, BUT VERY INEFFECTIVE WHEN MOVING VERY SLOWLY (5MPH OR LESS). WHEN APPLYING BRAKE, THERE IS A HISSING SOUND. VERY SCARY TO DRIVE AND ONLY DID TO GET TO REPAIR SHOP. THIS PROBLEM MATCHES EXACTLY AN EXISTING RECALL WITH FORD EDGE 2010'S, BUT FOR SOME REASON MY VIN WAS EXCLUDED IN THE RECALL. CAR REPAIRED AT FORD DEALER, BUT HAD TO PAY MORE THAN $500. *TR

AT RANDOM TIMES WHEN BRAKING THE BRAKE PEDAL WILL FEEL LIKE A BRICK, WITH NO POWER BRAKE BOOST. IT FEELS LIKE THE BRAKES WOULD FEEL IF THE CAR WERE SHUT OFF, BUT IT IS STILL RUNNING. OR AT OTHER TIMES THE PEDAL IS VERY SPONGY FEELING. IN BOTH CASES THERE IS A DELAY IN BRAKING CAUSING A POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS SITUATION. *TR

BRAKE PEDAL BECAME STIFF AND IT WAS HARD TO STOP WITHOUT STANDING ON BRAKE. MECHANIC HAD TO REPLACE THE POWER BRAKE BOOSTER. NHTSA HAS A FILE # 10052836 AND FORD ISSUED TSB #CSP-13N02 TO NOTIFY AND REPLACE PART FOR ONLY SELECT CARS. IF YOU AREN'T IN THIS GROUP, YOU HAVE NO IDEA YOUR BRAKES WILL SUDDENLY BE DIFFICULT TO APPLY, RESULTING IN ACCIDENTS. *TR

VEHICLE DEVELOPED A CLANKING / CLUNKING SOUND. FELT LIKE IT WAS DRAGGING SOMETHING VERY HEAVY, AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHIFT POINTS SEEMED TO BE DELAYED AND SHIFTING TO A HIGHER GEAR HAPPENED AT A VERY HIGH RPM. STOPPED VEHICLE AND TURNED IT OFF. NOISES WENT AWAY AFTER RESTARTING, BUT ACCELERATION WAS VERY SLUGGISH AND IT DIDN'T SHIFT TO A HIGHER GEAR UNTIL A VERY HIGH RPM, THE GAS PEDAL HAD TO BE PUSHED TO THE FLOOR. TOOK IT TO A REPAIR SHOP AND IT WAS TEST DRIVEN AND PUT ON THE LIFT. CHECKED FOR ANY MALFUNCTION CODES. THE MECHANIC COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE. *TR

REPLACED THE TAIL LIGHT BULB FOR THE FIRST TIME BY MYSELF NOT AT DEALER AND THE HOUSING THAT HOLDS TAIL LIGHT IS BURNT. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS COULD CREATE ELECTRICAL FIRE I MY VEHICLE BULB 13466. SOCKET HOUSING 13411. *TR

#1) THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW IN 2010 AND FROM THE BEGINNING WHEN I PRESS ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL THE CAR WILL SOMETIMES JUST GOES INTO A DEAD MODE AND DOES NOTHING FOR A FEW SECONDS. IF I TRY TO ACCELERATE AND THE CAR DOESN'T REACT I SOMETIMES HAVE TO MASH ON THE PEDAL TO GET THE CAR TO GO. THIS HAS PROVEN TO BE A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM WHEN I HAVE TO MERGE OR TURN QUICKLY OUT OF A SIDE STREET OF THROUGH AN INTERSECTION IN A QUICK MANNER. ITS AS IF THE CAR HAS A HICCUP OR SOME TYPE OF DELAY FROM PEDAL TO MOTOR? #2) ON ANOTHER NOTE THAT HAS TO DO WITH DASHBOARD DESIGN ,WHEN I TURN ON MY TURN SIGNALS THE HIGH BEAM WILL SOMETIMES ENGAGE BECAUSE THE HIGH BEAM SWITCH AND THE TURN SIGNAL SWITCH ARE ON THE SAME ARM AND THE HIGH BEAM IS DESIGNED TO BE PUSHED FORWARD INSTEAD OF THE TRADITIONAL PULLED TOWARD YOU TO ACTIVATE.THIS PUSHING MOTION IS CONSISTENT WITH MY HAND REACHING TOWARD THE TURN SIGNAL IN A FORWARD MOTION. THIS OCCURRENCE IS SOMETIMES MISTAKEN FOR AGGRESSIVE BEHAVIOR OR AN ANNOYANCE TO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. *JS

DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR AJAR WARNING STAYS ON MAJORITY OF THE TIME. YOU HAVE TO OPEN AND CLOSE THE DOOR AT LEAST 3 TIMES EVERYTHING YOU GET IN THE CAR BEFORE IT WILL TURN OFF. UNDERSTAND A LOT OF EDGES HAVE THIS ISSUE AND IT SHOULD BE RECALLED. INSTEAD OF HAVING TO PAY OUT OF POCKET. *TR

THE REAR WINDOW SHATTERED FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THE CAR WAS PARKED IN A PARKING LOT FOR ABOUT 1 1/2 HOURS ON A SUNNY DAY. WHEN I GOT IN THE CAR, CLOSED THE DOOR, THE WHOLE BACK WINDOW SHATTERED. THERE WAS NO REASON FOR THE WINDOW TO BREAK. REPORTING THIS INFORMATION AS IT APPEARS THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH FORD EDGE CARS IN THE PAST. WE ARE HAVING IT REPAIRED USING INSURANCE COVERAGE. *JS
