2011 Ford Edge complaints

ON THREE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS MY FORD EDGE LOST POWER TO ACCELERATION AND STALLED OUT. THE FIRST TIME I WAS PULLING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE. THE CAR WENT LIMP AND A WRENCH WARNING APPEARED. WHEN I CHECKED THE INFORMATION SYSTEM IT HAD THE 'NO KEY DETECTED' WARNING. I RESTARTED AND CAR SEEMED FINE. TWO DAYS LATER I WAS PULLING ONTO A BUSY STREET AND THE SAME THING OCCURRED ONLY THIS TIME NO WARNING LIGHTS APPEARED AND THERE WERE NO WARNINGS IN THE INFORMATION SETTING. ON THE SAME DAY, WHILE TRAVELING 60 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE THE CAR DID THE SAME THING. THIS TIME IT WAS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND THERE WAS NOT A SHOULDER AVAILABLE TO PULL OVER. I HAD TO TURN ON HAZARD LIGHTS AND HOPE THE MOMENTUM OF THE CAR WOULD ALLOW ME TO GET TO A SAFE STOPPING PLACE. UNFORTUNATELY IT DID NOT AND I HAD TO STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSTATE, PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND RESTART. I WAS LUCKY I WASN'T REARENDED. IT DID RESTART BUT THIS TIME THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT CAME ON AND REMAINED ON. I CALLED ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND HAD THE CAR TAKEN TO A DEALERSHIP. THEY HAVE DETERMINED IT TO BE THE THROTTLE BODY. PART IS ON BACK ORDER AND NO IDEA WHEN CAR WILL BE FIXED. AFTER THE THIRD INCIDENT I BEGAN RESEARCHING AND HAVE LEARNED THAT THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM. FORD NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS AS SOMEONE IS GOING TO BE SERIOUSLY HURT OR KILLED. THEY ARE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND HAVE EVEN REPLACED THE MANUFACTURER WHO PROVIDED THE THROTTLE BODY PART DUE TO NUMEROUS PROBLEMS. FORD NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL I

DRIVER DOOR AJAR LIGHT CAME ON WHEN DOOR WAS CLOSED SECURELY. OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY AT FIRST, BUT THEN HAPPENED ALL THE TIME. REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY. AROUND MAY OF 2013 (OUT OF WARRANTY BY A FEW MONTHS) THE SAME THING HAPPENED. WILL COST $300-400 TO FIX. IN THE MEANTIME, MY DOORS WILL NOT REMAIN LOCKED WHILE DRIVING AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTS REMAIN ON FOR A LONG TIME BEFORE GOING OFF, USING BATTERY POWER. IN RESEARCHING THIS, IT APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN A PROBLEM WITH FORD CARS FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS. HAVING TO REPLACE THIS SENSOR TWICE IN THREE YEARS IS UNACCEPTABLE! *TR

DRIVERS SIDE DOOR AJAR LIGHT IS ON AND DOES NOT GO OUT EVEN WHEN THE DOOR IS CLOSED. THIS CAUSES THE DOORS NOT TO LOCK CAUSING A SAFETY CONCERN WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE. WHEN PARKED THE INTERIOR LIGHTS REMAIN LIT WHICH CAUSES THE BATTERY TO BE DRAINED AND THE CAR WILL NOT START. I HAD IT FIXED AT THE DEALER UNDER WARRANTY JUST AFTER 1 YEAR OF BUYING THE VEHICLE NEW, THEN THE 2ND TIME WAS 1 YEAR AFTER THE REPLACEMENT SWITCH NOW NOT UNDER WARRANTY AT THIS RATE I WILL NEED TO BUY ONE DRIVERS DOOR SWITCH EVERY YEAR AT $400 A POP. I ALSO HAD TO REPLACE THE BATTERY TOO. REALLY! *TR

TRAVEL ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAY IN MIDDLE OF THREE LANES AT 75MPH. POWER TO ENGINE CEASED. ENGINE WOULD NOT RESPOND TO ACCELERATOR. COASTED ACROSS RIGHT LANE OF HEAVY TRAFFIC TO GET TO RIGHT SHOULDER. COASTED TO STOP. *TR

DRIVERS SIDE DOOR AJAR LIGHT IS ON AND DOES NOT GO OUT EVEN WHEN THE DOOR IS CLOSED. THIS CAUSES THE DOORS NOT TO LOCK CAUSING A SAFETY CONCERN WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE. WHEN PARKED THE INTERIOR LIGHTS REMAIN LIT WHICH CAUSES THE BATTERY TO BE DRAINED AND THE CAR WILL NOT START. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS TWICE, AND 45 MPH ONCE, THE ENGINE COMPLETELY STALLED AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THE WARNING "WRENCH" LIGHT ILLUMINATED WITH EACH OCCURRENCE. CAR HAD TO BE COASTED TO A COMPLETE STOP, TURNED OFF AND THEN RESTARTED. IT WAS TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP ON EACH OCCURRENCE AND I WAS TOLD WITHOUT A "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" LIGHT OR WITH THE "WRENCH" LIGHT ILLUMINATED THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. THE CAR CANNOT BE DRIVEN ONCE IT STALLS SO THERE IS NO WAY IT CAN BE DRIVEN TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH THIS ERROR DISPLAYED AND ONCE IT IS TURNED OFF THIS WARNING WILL NOT DISPLAY ONCE RESTARTED. OUR SERVICE DEPARTMENT KNOWS EXACTLY THAT THIS IS A THROTTLE BODY PROBLEM BUT THEY ARE NOT AUTHORIZED TO REPLACE IT WITHOUT THIS ERROR DOCUMENTED THROUGH THE COMPUTER DIAGNOSTICS. MY DESCRIPTION IS NOT ENOUGH. SENT AWAY WITH A POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS AND MALFUNCTIONING VEHICLE STILL UNDER WARRANTY. IN CONTACT WITH REGIONAL MANAGER WHO SHOULD GET BACK TO ME WITHIN 48 HOURS. *TR

THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR AJAR LIGHT COMES ON DISABLING THE LOCKING AND LIGHTING SYSTEM. *TR

WE PURCHASED A NEW 2011 FORD EDGE IN FEBRUARY OF 2011. WE HAD DRIVEN IT LESS THAN 41,000 MILES WHEN WE ENCOUNTERED A PROBLEM WITH ONE TIRE. AS WE WERE DRIVING WE WERE ALERTED THAT THE AIR PRESSURE WAS LOW ON OUR TIRE. WE ADDED AIR AND HAD DRIVEN LESS THAN 10 MILES WHEN THE LOW AIR PRESSURE WARNING CAME ON AGAIN. WE DROVE TO WALMART TO GET THE TIRE REPAIRED. IT HAD A SPLIT ON THE INSIDE OF THE TIRE, NEAR THE LETTERING. THE SPLIT WAS NOT ALONG THE CURVE OF THE TIRE, IT IS AN "UP AND DOWN" TEAR. WE WERE TOLD THEY COULD NOT REPAIR THE TIRE BECAUSE OF WHERE THE SPLIT HAD OCCURRED. LIKE I SAID, IT WAS ON THE INSIDE OF THE TIRE, SO IT COULD NOT HAVE BEEN DAMAGED BY HITTING A CURB OR SOMETHING HITTING IT. THE TIRES HAVE VERY LITTLE WEAR ON THEM, BUT WE REPLACED ALL OF THEM ANYWAY. WE FEEL THIS TIRE WAS FAULTY AND WE WOULD REGRET NOT REPLACING THEM IF ONE WOULD BLOW OUT AND CAUSE A DEADLY ACCIDENT. WE KEPT THE TIRES IN CASE THERE IS A RECALL ON THEM. THIS WAS DEFINITELY NOT NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR! IF I WERE A TIRE MANUFACTURER, I WOULD DEFINITELY BE CHECKING ON THIS MATTER RIGHT NOW. AS I SAID, THE TIRES ARE THE MICHELIN LATITUDE TOUR, P245/60/18. THE OTHER NUMBERS FROM THE TIRE ARE AP4A DAMX 3110, WJ2B6A06-5868201. IF YOU NEED MORE INFORMATION, PLEASE CONTACT US. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 48 MPH, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED INDEPENDENTLY. THE WRENCH WARNING ICON ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE FAILURE RECURRED ONCE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER, WHO STATED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS SCHEDULED FOR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING DOWNHILL APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED WITH A WARNING SYMBOL ALERT DISPLAYED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS COASTED OFF OF THE ROADWAY AND INTO A GRASSY AREA. THE ENGINE WAS RESTARTED AFTER FIVE MINUTES AND RESUMED NORMALLY. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON A SEPARATE OCCASION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS HOWEVER, THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO LOCATE THE PROBLEM. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE AND VIN WERE UNAVAILABLE.

I PURCHASED THIS CERTIFIED PRE OWNED 2011 FORD EDGE AND 3000 MILES INTO OWNING IT THE DRIVE TRAIN HAS REPEATEDLY SLIPPED AND WHEN IT ENGAGES IT SLAMS. THIS SEEMS TO HAPPEN AT ANY TIME MOSTLY FROM AFTER STOPPING AND SOMETIMES AS THE CAR IS JUST DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS. I`M TAKING IT IN FOR THIS SOON BUT FROM THESE OTHER POSTINGS I DON`T FEEL SO GOOD ABOUT WHAT TO EXPECT. *TR

ON MARCH 9, 2013 WHILE DRIVING 40 MILES PER HOUR, THE VEHICLE JERKED AS IF I HAD HIT OR BEEN HIT BY SOMETHING, PULLED OVER INTO A PARKING LOT, GOT OUT LOOKED UNDER MY VEHICLE WALKED AROUND AND DIDN'T HIT ANYTHING, MY MOTOR DIDN'T COME OUT, DIDN'T GET HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE, NO BLOWOUT TIRES, GOT BACK IN MY VEHICLE AND DROVE HOME WITH NO OTHER ISSUES (WOW). THEN ON MARCH 31, 2013 WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM AN OUT OF TOWN TRIP, ALMOST HOME, ON THE INTERSTATE DRIVING 75 MILES PER HOUR THE VEHICLE JERKED AGAIN LIKE IT DID THAT DAY ON MARCH 9, MY HUSBAND WAS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT WITH HIS EYES CLOSED AND SAT STRAIGHT UP AND ASKED ME IF WE HAD BEEN HIT. EXPLAINED TO HIM THIS IS EXACTLY THE SAME THING THAT HAPPENED TO ME A FEW WEEKS AGO. TOOK IT BACK IN AND OF COURSE THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT REPLICATE SO A RECORDER WAS INSTALLED. ON MAY 24, 2013 THIS HAPPENED AGAIN I PUSHED THE BUTTON ON THE RECORD AND NOW MY EDGE IS BACK IN THE SHOP. I HAVE BEEN READING BLOGS ON FORD FORUM, APPARENTLY THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN GOING SINCE 2007. IF MY VEHICLE DECIDES TO STALL WHILE THIS IS OCCURRING I'M IN DEEP TROUBLE I'LL BE REAR ENDED AND FORD MOTOR WILL HAVE A LAW SUIT ON THEIR HANDS. GLAD IT DIDN'T STALL OUT ON THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE I MAY NOT BE HERE TODAY. *TR

TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAY THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN AND A WRENCH WARNING SYMBOL APPEARED ON DASH BOARD. TURNED OFF CAR AND RESTARTED ALL CLEARED. TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY COULD FIND NOTHING ON COMPUTER. HAPPEN AGAIN ON TRIP TO FLORIDA AND TWICE MORE BACK AT HOME. DEALER AGAIN CHECK AND SAID COULD FIND NOTHING. THERE IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING GOING WRONG AND IT A SERIOUS HAZARD WHEN YOU ARE TRAVELING AT INTERSTATE SPEED AND THE CAR ENGINE, POWER STEERING, AND BRAKES STOP WORKING. CAR GOES INTO CREEP MODE UNTIL YOU STOP TURN OFF ENGINE AND RESTART. *TR

DRIVER DOOR AJAR LIGHT WILL NOT SHUT OFF BUT DOOR IS CLOSE PROPERLY. *TR

2011 FORD EDGE, I AM THE FIRST OWNER AND BOUGHT THIS CAR NEW. AT APPROX 2000 MILES AFTER THE 36K MILE WARRANTY EXPIRED THE DRIVERS DOOR LATCH SWITCH IS MESSED UP. THE DOOR WILL BE SHUTAND THE SYSTEM STILL SHOWS IT AJAR WHICH CAUSES THE INTERIOR LIGHT TO STAY ON FOR 5 PLUS MINUTES. EVEN WHILE DRIVING THE DOOR CLOSED AND NO WARNINGS THE SWITCH WILL MALFUNCTION AT NIGHT AND CAUSE THE INTERIOR (WHITE) LIGHTS TO COME ON. THIS IS A HAZZARD AT NIGHT (SAFETY)!!!! I HAVE CONTACTED THE LOCAL FORD AND THEY GIVE ME THE RUN AROUND AND DO NOT WANT TO COVER THEIR DEFECT!! THERE ARE MORE THAN 7 DOCUMENTED CASES ON HERE AND EVEN MY SERVICE ADVISOR SAID THAT THESE YEAR AND MODEL ARE NOTORIUS FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT FORD DOES NOT COVER! SERVICE MANAGER SAID HE HAS NEVER HEARD OF IT (BS). BOTTOM LINE.... IF YOU WILL NOT COVER YOUR PRODUCT I WILL NOT BUY YOUR CHEAP PRODUCT!! LOOKS LIKE TOYOTA WILL GET MY BUSINESS FROM NOW ON SINCE THEY COVER THEIR PRODUCT !! THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE ESPECIALLY FOR NIGHT DRIVING AND BATTERY LIFE (STRANDED ON ROAD). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR FAILED TO CLOSE AND LOCK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE LATCH WAS REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 53,000. *TR

I WAS REAR-ENDED AT A PEDESTRIAN CROSSWALK BY A TEEN TEXTING ON HIS SMARTPHONE WHILE DRIVING AT THE SPEED OF ABOUT 40MPH. THE IMPACT CAUSED ME TO SMASH INTO ANOTHER CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I WASN'T INJURED BECAUSE I BRACED MYSELF FOR IMPACT LOOKING UP THROUGH MY MIRRORS. THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AS IF THEY AIRBAGS WERE ABOUT TO DEPLOY ON THE DASH BOARD BUT THEY SIMPLY DIDN'T DEPLOY. WHEN I WAS DRIVING HOME THE CAR STARTED SHAKING AS IF THE AIRBAGS MIGHT POP OUT IF I HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD. THE CAR IS NOW PARKED AND WILL REMAIN PARKED UNTIL THIS ISSUE IS FULLY RESOLVED.. NO MORE FORD CARS FOR ME! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE CUSTOM SOFTWARE ROUTINE WAS NOT READING THE CORRECT SET OF CHARACTERS, AND WAS NOT ABLE TO IDENTIFY A BCM. AS A RESULT, AN ELECTRICAL SHORT DEVELOPED AND THE BODY CONTROL MODULE WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED BUT STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 47,000.

DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT -THE DRIVERS DOOR AJAR WARNING WILL POP ON WHILE DRIVING TURNING ON THE INTERIOR LIGHTS. ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS AT NIGHT. MULTIPLE REPORTS OF THIS SAME ISSUE WITH THE DRIVERS DOOR LATCH SPECIFICALLY ON 2011 FORD EDGES. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. ALSO THE LIGHT WILL NOT GO OFF WHEN THE CAR IS PARKED AND THAT CAUSES THE BATTERY TO RUN DOWN BECAUSE IT WILL STAY ON AT LEASE 5 MINUTES AFTER THE CAR IS PARKED, THE DOOR IS CLOSED AND THE KEY IS REMOVED. *TR

I PURCHASED A CERTIFIED USED 2011 FORD EDGE IN JANUARY 2013. SHORTLY THEREAFTER, I STARTED NOTICING SOME MAJOR ISSUES. 1) THE TRANSMISSION WHINES AT LOW SPEEDS, UNTIL I ACCELERATE & IT SHIFTS UP A FEW GEARS. I HAVE ALSO HAD IT SLIP & CLUNK WHILE SHIFTING GEARS 2) THERE IS A LOUD POPPING FROM THE FRONT END, PASSENGER SIDE, WHEN I AM TURNING, ESPECIALLY IN & OUT OF PARKING SPOTS 3) THERE IS A WHISTLE COMING FROM UNDER THE SUV, BETWEEN THE DRIVER SIDE DOORS & IT DOES IT IN ACCESSORY MODE OR WHEN THE SUV IS RUNNING. I HAVE NOW HAD IT BACK AT THE DEALER FOR THE 3RD TIME & THEY ARE WORKING WITH FORD ON DIAGNOSING THE ISSUES. IT IS VERY DISHEARTENING TO SPEND SO MUCH MONEY FOR A VEHICLE & HAVE SUCH ISSUES. THANKFULLY IT IS CERTIFIED & UNDER WARRANTY. THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN GOOD ABOUT GETTING ME A LOANER VEHICLE TOO. BUT I ALMOST AM READY TO ASK THEM TO TRADE ME OUT OF IT, BECAUSE I AM SICK OF DEALING WITH THE ISSUES. IT IS EMBARRASSING TO HAVE SUCH A NICE LOOKING "NEW" VEHICLE & WHEN PEOPLE RIDE WITH ME, THEY NOTICE ALL THE THINGS WRONG & SAY I GOT A BAD DEAL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE INTERIOR LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND LOCKED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT WAS NOT INSPECTED BECAUSE THE DEALER STATED THAT THERE WAS NOT A RECALL FOR THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DOOR HAD TO BE CLOSED FOUR OR FIVE TIMES BEFORE THE INTERIOR LIGHT SHUT OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 41,000. *TR

2011 FORD EDGE THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR AJAR SENSOR STARTED INTERMITTENTLY AND NOW PERMANENTLY MALFUNCTIONSAND WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATES. THIS CAUSES THE AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKS TO MALFUNCTIONAND THE DOORS TO UNLOCK. ADDITIONALYTHE INTERIOR DOME LIGHT STAYS ONFOR EXTENDED TIMES THE INABILITY TO LOCK THE DOORS OR FOR THE DOORS TO STAY LOCKED IS A SAFTY ISSUE, THE DOME LIGHT OBSCURES VISION AT NIGHT WHICH IS ANOTHER SAFETY ISSUE. I AND THOUSANDS OF FORD EDGE OWNERS WOULD APPRECIATE FORD MOTER COMPANY TAKEING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS FACTORY DEFECT AND SAFETY HAZARD. THIS IS NOT A FACTORY WARRANTY ISSUE FORD IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM BUT REFUSES TO FIX. I HAVE SEARCHED THE WORLDWIDENET AND FOUND THIS TO BE A PROBLEM WIT MANY FORD MODELS. PLEASE ADDRESS THIS ISSUE ASAP BEFOR SOMEONE IS MAMED OR HAS THER LIFE TAKEN. THANK

THE CAR REPEATEDLY HAS TRANSMISSION ISSUES WHEN SLOWING THEN ACCELERATING FROM AROUND 20 MPH. THE TRANSMISSION/POWER STOPS MOMENTARILY THEN IT SHIFTS WITH A VERY HARD JERKING SENSATION AND A LOUD THUD. I FEEL THIS ISSUE WILL EVENTUALLY PUT ME AND MY FAMILY IN DANGER. *TR

I HAD BEEN HAVING ON-GOING ISSUES WITH ENGINE SURGING, STALLING AND GEAR "SKIPPING" SINCE I FIRST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN DECEMBER 2010, WHICH I HAD REPORTED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND ABOUT WHICH I WAS IN THE MIDST OF LEMON LAW PROCEEDINGS UNDER GA LEMON LAW. THEY ARE BEST DESCRIBED AS SIMILAR IN NATURE TO THOSE REPORTED IN THE NHTSA INVESTIGATION HERE: HTTP://WWW.USATODAY.COM/STORY/MONEY/CARS/2013/02/25/PROBE-FORD-CARS-SUVS-STALLING/1945799/ AT TIMES, THE ENGINE WOULD CUT OUT AT HIGH SPEEDS AND I'D BE STUCK IN "LIMP MODE". OTHER TIMES THE TRANSMISSION WOULD SLIP, THEN SURGE, MAKING IT FEEL AS IF I WERE HIT FROM BEHIND BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. STILL OTHER TIMES, IT MIGHT STALL OUT AT SLOW SPEEDS (I.E. WHILE MAKING A TURN, ETC.), LEAVING ME STUCK IN AN INTERSECTION AND VULNERABLE TO BEING HIT BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC. FORD HAD ATTEMPTED MULTIPLE TIMES TO FIX THIS PROBLEM, BUT IT KEPT RECURRING, EVEN AFTER MANY PARTS WERE REBUILT OR REPLACED. FINALLY, THE UNRESOLVED ISSUE CULMINATED IN AN ACCIDENT ON 11/26/12. I WAS COMING OFF ON A HIGHWAY EXIST RAMP AND THE ENGINE "SKIPPED" AND SURGED, PROPELLING ME INTO THE REAR OF THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. NO ONE WAS TREATED FOR INJURY AT THE TIME OF THE CRASH, BUT THE DRIVER OF THE OTHER CAR DID REPORT INJURY AFTER THE CRASH. MY ISSUE IS STILL UNRESOLVED BY FORD. THEY CLAIM THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE THE ISSUE AND HAVE MADE NO ATTEMPTS TO GET ME OUT OF THIS VEHICLE, WHICH I AM STUCK DRIVING UNTIL I CAN COMPLETE THE LENGTHY LEMON LAW PROCESS. I FEAR FOR MY LIFE

DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT WILL NOT GO AWAY WHEN CLOSING THE DRIVERS DOOR AND OCCASIONALLY POPS ON WHILE DRIVING TURNING ON THE INTERIOR LIGHTS. ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS AT NIGHT. MULTIPLE REPORTS OF THIS SAME ISSUE WITH THE DRIVERS DOOR LATCH SPECIFICALLY ON 2011 FORD EDGES. IN ORDER FOR THE DOOR TO CLOSE AND NOT HAVE THE DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT COME ON THE DRIVER MUST LOOSEN THE LATCH BEFORE CLOSING THE DOOR. EVEN IF ONE DOES THIS, IT DOES NOT GUARANTEE THAT IT WOULD NOT POP ON WHILE DRIVING. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS FAILED. THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY HAD A BLACK LENS THAT CAUSED THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT NOT TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE LIGHTING WHEN DRIVING IN RURAL AREAS. THE DEALER ADJUSTED THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT TO ILLUMINATE HIGHER HOWEVER, THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT WAS RESET BACK TO FACTORY SPECIFICATIONS AND THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING ELSE THEY COULD DO TO CORRECT THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 28,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD A GRINDING NOISE COMING FROM THE BRAKES. A PRIVATE MECHANIC INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND ADVISED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER'S SIDE INTERIOR BRAKE PADS DID NOT HAVE ANY PADDING AND PENETRATED THE ROTORS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN ADVISED THAT BOTH REAR ROTORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 51,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

AS I WAS LEAVING WORK AND PULLED OUT OF THE PARKING LOT ONTO THE MAIN ROAD AND MY CAR STALLED AFTER REACHING APPROX 10-15 MPH INDICATING ME TO "SEE MANUAL" WITH A WRENCH ON THE SCREEN THEN FLASHING "CHECK ENGINE OIL PRESSURE". AS I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP MY EDGE BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND THE RPM'S BEGAN TO JUMP UP AND DOWN FRANTICALLY. I THEN TURNED MY EDGE OFF FOR 30 SECONDS. WHEN I RESTARTED IT, IT STARTED WITHOUT ISSUE AND IDLED FINE. I WAS ABLE TO BACK IT UP AND DRIVE IT UNDER 10 MPH TO PARK IT OVER NIGHT. THE FOLLOWING DAY (TODAY) WHEN I WENT TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THE SAME THING HAPPENED EXCEPT THIS TIME AROUND ONLY THE "SEE MANUAL" INDICATOR FLASHED AND I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICING. STILL NO WORD ON WHAT IT COULD POSSIBLY BE. I CHECKED THE OIL LEVEL, IT WAS NORMAL AND HAVE BEEN HAVING IT SERVICED EVERY 3,000 MILES. *TR

I PULLED INTO A PARKING SPACE. FELT THE CAR MOVE FORWARD. IMMEDIATELY TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL TO AVOID THE CAR DIRECTLY PARKED IN FRONT OF ME. ACCELERATING TO 25-30 MILES PER HOUR AND NOT KNOWING WHAT WAS HAPPENING, STEERED THE CAR UP THE PARKING LANE INTO A SNOW-COVERED FIELD, CIRCLED AND CAME BACK INTO ANOTHER ROW OF THE PARKING LOT. I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKES THE WHOLE TIME. WHEN I GOT TO THE END OF THAT ROW AND REALIZED I HAD NO BRAKES, FINALLY THREW IT IN PARK. THE CAR STOPPED, GEARS GRINDING. THE VEHICLE MAINTAINED THE SAME SPEED THE WHOLE TIME. IF THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN PEOPLE OR OTHER CAR MOVEMENT AT THE TIME, I DON'T KNOW WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED. FORD INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND FOUND NOTHING. *TR

2011 FORD EDGE THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR AJAR SENSOR INTERMITTENTLY MALFUNCTIONS AND WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATES. THIS CAUSES THE AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKS TO MALFUNCTION AND THE DOORS TO UNLOCK. ADDITIONALLY THE INTERIOR DOME LIGHTS STAYS ON FOR EXTENDED TIMES THE INABILITY TO LOCK THE DONORS OR FOR THE DOORS TO STAY LOCKED IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I WOULD LIKE FORD TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS PROBLEM. I PAID FOR THIS REPAIR AS THE VEHICLE WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. THIS HOWEVER IS A QUALITY AND SAFETY ISSUE AND HAS NOTHING DO WITH HOW THE VEHICLE WAS USED OR MAINTAINED. *TR

I OWN A 2011 FORD EDGE WITH 39,000 MILES ON IT. THREE DAYS AGO I WAS DRIVING ON A RELATIVELY BUSY ROAD GOING 65 MPH WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY EDGE SEEMED LIKE IT LOST ALL POWER TO IT. THE "SEE MANUAL" WITH A WRENCH SCREEN CAME UP ON MY DASHBOARD, AS MY CAR SLOWLY BEGAN TO STOP. UPON STOPPING IT BEGAN TO SHAKE AND RUMBLE VIOLENTLY. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK, AND BACK INTO DRIVE TO START DRIVING AGAIN. WHEN I PUSHED THE GAS PEDAL NOTHING WOULD HAPPEN. THE RPM'S WOULD NOT EVEN MOVE. I TURNED THE CAR OFF, AND WHEN I TURNED IT BACK ON IT ROLLED OVER A COUPLE TIMES BEFORE IT ACTUALLY STARTED. THEN IT ACTED LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED. THEN TODAY (01/28/2013) I WAS TURNING IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I WASN'T EVEN GOING 20 MPH THIS TIME. I HAD TO COAST ONTO THE TURNING LATE OF THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION AFTER TRYING TO AVOID BEING HIT BY A COUPLE SEMI'S. I TOOK IT TO AUTOZONE WHERE THEY TESTED IT, NOTHING SEEMED TO BE WRONG WITH IT. THEY EVEN CHECKED UNDER THE HOOD. ON THE WAY HOME, 20 MINUTES LATER IT HAPPENED ON THE SAME BUSY HIGHWAY. ONCE AGAIN, I WAS ALMOST INVOLVED IN A COUPLE ACCIDENTS. I HAVE TRIED LOOKING EVERYWHERE TO SEE WHERE THERE IS A SOLUTION BUT I CAN'T SEEM TO FIND ONE. I FEEL EXTREMELY UNSAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE, AND I ACTUALLY AM CONSIDERING TRADING IT IN. IT'S A DEATH TRAP, AND IT'S SAD TO SAY BECAUSE I LOVED MY EDGE SO MUCH. IF ANYONE HAS THE SOLUTION TO WHAT IS GOING ON, PLEASE TELL ME. I'M TIRED OF GETTING NO ANSWER. *TR

WHEN DRIVING BETWEEN 30 AND 35 MPH ON FAIRLY LEVEL TERRAIN BUT SOMEWHAT CURVY MY CAR WILL LUNG VIOLENTLY. FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I PULLED OVER THINKING I HAD BEEN HIT IN THE BACK OF MY CAR. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE NOW. MARSHALL MIZE FORD DEALERSHIP SAYS THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO UNLESS THEY CAN REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THIS CAR HAS ONGOING ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION. MY FIRST COMPLAINT WAS 1 MONTH AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR. WHEN DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 57 MPH ON A DECLINE IF I EVERY SO SLIGHTLY TOUCH MY BRAKE PAD MY CAR WILL "SLAM" INTO A LOWER GEAR. I HAVE HAD TO BRING THE CAR TO A COMPLETE STOP TO GET IT TO GO BACK INTO NORMAL SHIFT MODE. ACTUALLY HAD A FORD ENGINEER RIDE WITH ME AND TELL ME THAT WAS "NORMAL". WHEN I PRESSED HIM "IT'S NORMAL TO HAVE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP TO GET MY CAR BACK INTO NORMAL SHIFT MODE" HE JUST SHRUGGED HIS SHOULDERS AND SAID THERE WAS NOTHING HE COULD DO FOR ME. I ACTUALLY HAD TO PULL OFF TO THE EMERGENCY LANE ONE MORNING BECAUSE ME CAR DID THIS AND A TRANSFER TRUCK ALSO MOST REARENDED ME. *TR

TWO WEEKS AGO MY FORD EDGE LIMITED (2011), WHICH I HAD FOR LESS THAN 2 YEARS AND IT HAD ~21000MI, STARTED TO HAVE SERIOUS PROBLEMS. WHILE DRIVING ON ONE OF THE BUSIEST HIGHWAYS IN HOUSTON, THE ACCELERATION SUDDENLY DISAPPEARED (GAS PEDAL WENT LIMP) WHEN I WAS GOING 65-70MPH. THE CAR STILL HAD POWER AND I WAS ABLE TO BREAK AND STEER TO THE EMERGENCY LANE. WHILE DOING THAT, ALMOST GOT HIT FROM THE BACK TWICE. AFTER COMPLETE STOP AT EMERGENCY LANE, I RESTARTED THE CAR. IT STARTED FINE, AND I WAS ABLE TO GET HOME, THOUGH I WAS AFRAID TO TAKE A HIGHWAY. NEXT DAY, SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED TWICE, AND BOTH TIMES AT ABOUT THE SAME SPEED. THESE TIMES, HOWEVER, I FELT STRONG VIBRATIONS WHEN RESTARTING THE ENGINE. ALL OF THE TIMES, AN ORANGE WRENCH APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD INDICATING POWER TRAIN PROBLEMS. AFTER THE SECOND TIME, A LIGHT INDICATING THAT ENGINE NEEDS TO BE SERVICED SOON ALSO APPEARED. THIS LIGHT TURNED OFF ON ITS OWN COUPLE DAYS LATER. I HAD PLENTY OF PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR BEFORE. THIS WAS THE LAST POINT WHEN MY PATIENCE WITH THIS CAR HAD ENDED. BESIDES, I COULD GET INTO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. LUCKILY, ALL OF THE TIMES I WAS DRIVING AFTER THE RUSH HOUR AND TRAFFIC WAS NOT TOO BAD. OTHERWISE, I WOULD BE DEFINITELY BE HIT BY SOMEONE. IN ANY CASE, I BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND TRADED IT IN. NO WONDER, I WAS TOLD IN THE DEALERSHIP THAT THEY ARE NOT AWARE OF ANY PROBLEMS LIKE THIS AND OFFERED SERVICING THE CAR. I REFUSED IT, BECAUSE OF MULTIPLE PROBLEMS I HAD WITH THIS CAR

MY DOOR LOCKS ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF MY 2011 FORD EDGE LIMITED MODEL ARE MALFUNCTIONING. WHEN YOU TRY TO UNLOCK THE DOOR EITHER WITH THE TOUCH DOOR SENSORS OR THE REMOTE, THE LOCKS SOUNDS LIKE A MACHINE GUN. ALSO, SOMETIMES THE DOOR WILL NOT LOCK. WHEN FORD WENT IN TO REPLACE THE LOCKING MECHANISM, THEY FOUND OUT MY DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW IS STARTING TO CRACK FROM THE BOTTOM UP, SO THEY HAVE HAD MY CAR AT LEAST A WEEK NOW WAITING ON THE GLASS, WHICH IS APPARENTLY AN ISSUE THAT IS OCCURRING ON ALL OF THESE FORD EDGE VEHICLES. *TR

MY DOOR SENSOR LIGHT WILL NOT TURN OFF, WHICH IS KEEPING MY VEHICLE FROM LOCKING. THE MALFUNCTION IS WITH THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF MY 2011 FORD EDGE LIMITED MODEL. SOMETIMES YOU COULD SHOULD THE DOOR 20 TIMES IN A ROW AND THE DOOR STILL WOULD NOT LOCK. COLD TEMPERATURES SEEM TO EFFECT THE SENSOR MORE THAN A WARM DAY. FORD DID REPLACE MY SENSOR ON MY VEHICLE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE PARKED THE CONTACT NOTICED THE SYNC TECHNOLOGY ON THE TOUCH SCREEN WAS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY AFFECTING THE AIR CONDITIONER, RADIO, CELL PHONE SYNC, AND NAVIGATION SYSTEM. THE CONTACT STATED HE WAS CONSTANTLY DISTRACTED AND LOOKING AWAY FROM THE ROAD TO CANCEL OR SWITCH FUNCTIONS ON THE SCREEN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING FOURTEEN DIFFERENT TIMES. THE TECHNICIAN PERFORMED VARIOUS SOFTWARE UPDATES AND REPLACED THE COMPUTER THREE DIFFERENT TIMES BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 200.

THE THROTTLE BODY FAILED WHILE I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 65 MILES PER HOUR ON INTERSTATE 65. THIS FAIL HAPPENED AT AN EXTREMELY BUSY PORTION OF I-65 AS YOU LEAVE INDIANA AND CROSS INTO LOUISVILLE, KY. LUCKILY, THE TIME OF DAY WAS APPROXIMATELY 1:30 P.M. SO TRAFFIC WAS RATHER LIGHT. IF THIS HAD HAPPENED DURING RUSH HOUR, I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GET MY CAR OFF THE INTERSTATE AND OVER TO AN EMERGENCY LANE. WHO KNOWS WHAT THAT RESULT WOULD HAVE BEEN - A HORRIBLE CRASH - POSSIBLY DEATH. FORD REALLY NEEDS TO STEP UP AND RECALL THE THROTTLE BODY PART. AS I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ON THE INTERNET, I SEE MANY INSTANCES WHERE FORD APPEARS TO HAVE SEVERAL MODELS (OLD AND NEW) THAT ARE EXPERIENCING FAILED THROTTLE BODY COMPONENTS. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND WILL SURELY CAUSE ADDITIONAL FATALITIES (THEY HAVE ALREADY HAD ONE FATALITY DUE TO THIS PART FAILURE). *TR

I WAS DRIVING WITH MY TWO CHILDREN ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 65 MILES PER HOUR/AVERAGE SPEED LIMIT WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR ACCELERATION WENT LIMP AND THE CAR ENGINE STALLED. THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL NO LONGER WORKED AND A LITTLE ORANGE WRENCH FLASHED IN THE DIGITAL DASH. THERE WAS NO WARNING. I PUT ON MY HAZARDS. SHUT OFF THE AR, THEN RESTARTED AND IT WAS FINE. THIS HAPPENED TWO MORE TIMES. FORD DEALERSHIP CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE AND CAN'T "RECREATE" THE PROBLEM. I LOOKED ONLINE AND THERE ARE CONSUMER COMPLAINTS ALL OVER USER GROUP WEBSITES COMPLAINING OF THIS PROBLEM BUT WHEN I CALL FORD CUSTOMER CARE THEY SAY THAT "NO ONE HAS EVER FILED THIS COMPLAINT WITH THEM". CALL FORD. BLOW UP THEIR HOTLINES AND IF YOU ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM GET THE WORD OUT TO THEM AND EVERYONE ELSE INCLUDING CONSUMER AFFAIRS, BBB AND MORE. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED. IT'S SO DANGEROUS AND CLEARLY A MANUFACTURE DEFECT THAT THEY WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE BECAUSE THEY DON'T' KNOW WHAT IT IS. *TR

I ATTEMPTED TO PARK BEHIND A PARKED VEHICLE. I BACKED OUT OF A DRIVEWAY APPROX 60' FROM THE PARKED CAR AND WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE THE ENGINE STARTED TO RACE & REV VERY QUICKLY (6 - 7 RPM) LIKE THE ACCELERATOR WAS STUCK. THE CAR RACED FORWARD AND WOULD NOT STOP UNTIL IT HIT THE PARKED VEHICLE. I TRIED TO BRAKE IMMEDIATELY BUT THE CAR CONTINUED TO MOVE FORWARD. I APPLIED BOTH FEET WITH MORE PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE AND THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP. THE ONLY THING THAT FINALLY STOPPED THE CAR WAS THE PARKED CAR IN FRONT OF ME. MY HUSBAND WAS THE PASSENGER AND CAN VERIFY THE FACTS. ANOTHER PERSON (FEMALE) WHO LIVES AT THE HOUSE NEXT TO THE PARKED VEHICLE ALSO CAME OUT TO VERIFY THAT SHE HEARD A CAR'S ENGINE RACING/REVVING UP BEFORE THE ACTUAL IMPACT. THERE WERE OTHERS IN THE YARD (GRADUATION PARTY) ACROSS THE STREET THAT ALSO HEARD THE REVVING/RACING ENGINE BEFORE THEY HEARD THE IMPACT/CRASH. THERE WAS NO FAULT OF MINE THAT THIS CAR HAD A MIND OF IT'S OWN AND PROCEEDED TO ACCELERATE FORWARD AND THE BRAKES COULD NOT STOP IT FROM HITTING A PARKED CAR. I AM JUST GLAD THAT WE WERE NOT INJURED AND THAT NO ONE ELSE WAS HURT OR KILLED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LIFT-GATE LOCK MALFUNCTIONED. AS A RESULT, ALL OF THE LIGHTS IN THE VEHICLE WERE ERRONEOUSLY ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS RELATED TO THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 39,000.

DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED, ENGINE SHUTDOWN AND VEHICLE HAD IMMEDIATE LOSS OF POWER. NO VISIBLE ALERT FOR SURROUNDING TRAFFIC TO AVOID COLLISION. ENGINE DID NOT TURN OFF, BUT ACCELERATION WAS NOT POSSIBLE. I TURNED THE CAR COMPLETELY OFF, WAITED A FEW MINUTES, RESTARTED, AND WAS ABLE TO PROCEED AT NORMAL SPEED ONTO THE INTERSTATE BEFORE IT OCCURRED AGAIN. DEALERSHIP THOUGHT THEY HAD IT FIXED ON MONDAY. THEY SAID IT WAS A COMPUTER COMMUNICATION ISSUE AND THEY RESET IT. THEIR TEST DRIVER HAD TO BE TOWED BACK TO THE SHOP. NEXT DAY, THEY REPEATED YESTERDAY'S FIX, TOLD ME TO PICK IT UP. I HAD A FRIEND DRIVE IT, WHILE I FOLLOWED. WE MADE IT 5 MILES BEFORE IT SHUT DOWN ON THE INTERSTATE DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. I USED MY TRUCK TO BLOCK TRAFFIC SO WE COULD MAKE IT TO THE MEDIAN. DEALERSHIP HAD IT TOWED BACK. ONE WEEK LATER, THE DEALER SAYS IT'S THE THROTTLE BODY, BUT ARE NOT CONFIDENT IT IS SAFE TO RELEASE, AND ARE NOT POSITIVE THAT'S THE PROBLEM. I HAVE READ MANY BLOGS ON FORD'S COMPUTER OR FUEL RELATED ISSUES THAT APPEAR SIMILAR, YET WITH SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT DIAGNOSIS. MY CONCERN IS SAFETY. I AM LOOKING FOR A SAFE VEHICLE I CAN TRADE WITH CONFIDENCE THAT IT WILL NOT CAUSE THE NEXT OWNER TO CRASH. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 1 MPH, THE VEHICLE UNEXPECTEDLY INCREASED ACCELERATION AND THEN CRASHED INTO A TREE. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED INJURY TO THE SHOULDER. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A COLLISION CENTER AND REPAIRED FOR THE EXTERIOR BODY DAMAGES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000.

I PURCHASED MY 2011 FORD EDGE IN DECEMBER OF 2010 AND HAVE NOT HAD A DAY WHEN THERE HASN'T BEEN A PROBLEM WITH WITH EITHER THE SYNC OR SIRIUS SYSTEM. I HAVE HAD MY AUTO SERVICED SIX SEPARATE TIMES AND STILL HAVE ISSUES. AMONG THESE SIX VISITS, FOUR INVOLVED EITHER RECALLS OR "FULL FLASH REPROGRAMS," IN ADDITION TO THE MAJOR SOFTWARE UPDATE WITH THE USB FORD SENT OUT. CURRENTLY MY RADIO SUDDENLY SWITCHES BANDS, OR PRESETS MALFUNCTION, AND MY RADIO WON'T TURN OFF WITHOUT A COMPLICATED SERIES OF SCREEN ADJUSTMENTS. ALSO WHEN THIS HAPPENS MY MEMORY SEAT FUNCTION IS DISABLED AND NO LONGER WORKS. I CONSIDER THESE PROBLEMS NOT MERELY COSMETIC, BUT FUNCTIONAL SAFETY ISSUES SINCE THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT CANNOT FIGURE OUT HOW THE RADIO/SYNC ISSUES AFFECT THE MEMORY SEAT FUNCTION AND THUS COULD ULTIMATELY AFFECT A MORE CRITICAL AUTO FUNCTION AND THESE OCCUR WHILE DRIVING WHICH HAS CAUSED ME MOMENTARY DISORIENTATION. *TR

THIS IS THE 3RD TIME IN THE PAST 3 MONTHS THAT MY FORD EDGE HAS STALLED. THE FIRST TWO TIMES WERE ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 55MPH. THIS TIME WAS IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD GOING 35MPH. CAR JUST SPORADICALLY GOES "LIMP" AND LOSES ALL ACCELERATION, WITH WRENCH LIGHT COMING ON. HAVE BEEN ABLE TO COAST TO SIDE OF ROAD EACH TIME. FORD REFUSES TO FIX. THEY KEEP SAYING THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I'M GOING TO GET KILLED IN THIS CAR IF SOMETHING ISN'T DONE ABOUT IT. APPARENTLY I'M NOT THE ONLY CONSUMER WITH THIS ISSUE. *TR
