Pressing the brake while parking the car and later driving it on the road. Happened all of a sudden. Loss of break pressure when I put my foot on break peddle to stop. My foot went to the floor! No warning on dash, no idiot light, nothing.
2014 Ford Edge complaints
Owner reports filed with NHTSA about this vehicle, newest first and reproduced as filed. They are unverified accounts: one proves nothing, and a pattern across many is the thing worth reading. Back to the full 2014 record →
The vehicle began emitting a strong smell intermittently, which was later determined to be gear oil from the transfer case dripping down. After the smell was originally noted the car was driven only at low speeds and short distance to get repaired. The car was not able to be put into reverse. Eventually, the car began to make a grinding sound while steering and stopping. Luckily after the strong smells started the car was never driven over 35mph and was only driven for a short distance. I could only imagine if the car was going at highway speeds. This is putting customer's safety at risk. This is a dangerous situation and needs to be resolved. No warning lights illuminated during this ordeal. I was told by the mechanic that the transfer case "blew up" and would need to be replaced. The car has less than 48,000 miles on it and has always been kept in a garage and up to date on service.
2014 ford edge backorder prevention, identical to the recall for 2021 & 2022 edge recall for distorted or camera not available NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V151000. This recall should be expanded to include other years including 2014 edge as these vehicles are having the same issue. This happens every day and as soon as you put the vehicle into reverse.
This is a known issue with Ford models. The door sensor does not work correctly when the doors are closed. The sensor alerts that a door is still open, and will keep the dome light on and will not allow the doors to lock. This is a huge issue with not being able to see at night with the light on, and doors not locking with children in the back seat. There is also another sensor that does not sense when the vehicle is in park. Then again you are not able to lock the doors of the vehicle.
The back up camera video is upside down. It is like this 95% of the time, occasionally it will be in the correct position. Sometimes the screen is all black, but mostly is is upside down making it very difficult to use when parking!
The rear differential went in the car at only 100,000 miles
The contact owns a 2014 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the brake pedal was either stiff or soft upon depression. The contact also stated that the check engine warning light had illuminated the instrument panel. The contact had initially taken the vehicle to an independent mechanic who informed him that there was a service bulletin on the vehicle; the mechanic referred him to a dealer. Upon taking the vehicle to a dealer, he was informed that his vehicle was not covered under the service bulletin. The manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The dealer repaired the vehicle. The failure mileage was 80,000.
When the vehicle reaches up to 80,000 miles or so, you may hear a clicking or clunking in the rear when turning or ascending. Nowhere listed in the driver's manual is a power transfer unit mentioned. Obviously, the fluid in this part has to be changed every 30,000 miles. Resulting in a very expensive repair if not done so. I am being quoted 2500.00 for the part and installation by a ford dealer. The power transfer unit blew up, has black oil and metal fragments in it.
Wheel cracked, found during replacement of failed tire. Could have led to an accident if unfound. Problem found by Firestone Service Center No. No.
The contact owns a 2014 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the powertrain malfunction warning light was illuminated, then the vehicle stalled.

The failure mileage was 58,338.
The contact owns a 2014 Ford Edge. The contact stated while driving 40 MPH and approaching a stop sign, she had to depress the brake pedal to the floor to stop the vehicle. The contact also stated she heard an abnormal noise. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact took the vehicle to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed with needing the brake booster to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired but on 11/8/2021, she began to experience the failure again. The contact took the vehicle back to local dealer, where it was diagnosed with needing the brake master cylinder to be replaced. The master cylinder was replaced 11/22/2021 but failed to fix the failure. The dealer informed the contact that the hydraulic control unit needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired but was pending the repair. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was 64,800 as of 2/14/2022. The contact stated that the hydraulic control unit was not replaced and the vehicle was taken to another mechanic. The right rear caliper piston was repaired. The failure has not reoccurred.
Brake pedal became very hard to press down, severely limiting the ability to stop the vehicle. The brake booster is available for inspection. It appears that there was a recall for 2009-2013 models but not for the 2014. My car was built and assembled in December of 2013 at the same plant installed the defective boosters. There were no warning lights or indication of a problem. The brake booster has been replaced by a reputable shop.
The contact's mother owns a 2014 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while the brake pedal was depressed, the brake pedal was traveling to the floorboard. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the contact was unaware if there was a diagnostic test performed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 68,000.

The vehicle was taken to the independent mechanic who diagnosed that the half-shaft of the vehicle had detached from the transaxle, and the failure was related to NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V393000 (Power Train). The dealer was not notified of the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that his vehicle could not be repaired under the recall for NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V393000 (Power Train) because the VIN was not included in the recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 113,000.
Heat and defrost malfunction. Driver side blows cold defrost and hot on passenger side. Potentially a safety issue as there is no way to defrost driver side windshield in cold weather
While driving the wrench light will come on, vehicle will lose all power and vehicle becomes difficult to steer and brake. Once the vehicle stops vehicle needs to shut down, wait several minutes and then restarted. Once vehicle is on again the light goes out
Door ajar warning dome lights stay on doors don't lock child opened door while moving
The contact owns a 2014 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while driving at an undetermined speed, the brake pedal was depressed however, the pedal was hard to depress to the floorboard. Additionally, while starting the vehicle, there was an abnormal squealing sound detected. While driving up hill with the cruise control engaged, the brake pedal was hard to depress and the cruise control failed to disengage. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 128,000.
Door ajar light strays on although door is completely closer, not allowing for door to lock and causing a distracting dinging sound with trying to drive, this also causes the other doors not to lock, as well as kills the battery leaving people stranded.
The following happens roughly a few times a month but cannot be reproduced intentionally…. I pull into my garage, or a parking space, etc and put the car in PARK, the dashboard shows a P for Park but it also shows a message that says car needs to be in park in order to shut off (something a long these lines…) so I have to jiggle it for a few seconds for it to register that it’s in park. It also starts paddle shifting by itself while I am driving!!! I believe what is happening is related to the existing recalls (20V692000 & 14V393000) on Edge’s, but does not include my VIN. Please HELP!
Window Master Switch and door wire harness on drivers door does not operate. Can not open any windows on the vehicle. Rear windows will not open from rear door switches also. In case of accident windows can not be opened for exit purposes. Can not open windows if stopped by a police officer, whereas, they may feel threatened by occupant in vehicle. Is this a safety feature to be able to open windows. Ford dealer performed a vehicle check on May 20, 2021 and indicated the door harness may need replacement and the window master switch. Ford indicated the vehicle is 7 years old and the part is likely not made by Ford anymore. Ford has no way to correct the issue. There were no warning lights, messages, regarding the stoppage on May 20, 2021
I was out of town on the by pass went over a RR track slowly then took back off and heard a popping noise, went about 4 more miles and turned off as soon as I straighten my steering wheel out to head on down the road a big pop and my car stopped hard and jerked us and motor rev up. Got out to see what happened. My front tire was sideways. I’m so glad I had just turned off the by pass (60 mph) and was going slow. The axle and ball joint broke. It scared me to think what could have happened to us.
The contact owns a 2014 Ford Edge. The contact stated while driving approximately 35 mph, the service engine warning light illuminated, and the wrench was displayed on the instrument panel. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer who diagnosed a brake booster and vacuum leak. The vehicle was repaired by an independent mechanic. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 53,495.
Brake Booster issue. Brake pedal feels spongy/soft when trying to stop. Vehicle makes a whirring/hissing noise when letting off the brake pedal. The car feels like it won't stop in time for a stop sign or stop light while going as slow as 25 mph. There is an extended warranty on this make/model, but Ford refuses to honor it and fix it. I have a vehicle with less than 65,000 miles that is undriveable. No warning lights came on the dashboard at all. The brakes got spongy out of no where. No warning. Ford has confirmed the issue. No accidents in the vehicle because I refuse to drive it now.
Driving down the hwy, lost all acceleration. Engine still alive, had power, radio, air etc Had to coast to the side of the road. Restarted car after a few minutes and problem resolved. Took to dealer but they could not find a code. Suggested replacing throttle body as possible solution based on how often they see this.
BACKUP CAMERA INTERMITTENTLY GOES BLACK AND BLANK. IT GIVES A WARNING THAT THE CAMERA IS NOT AVAILABLE. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHEN IT FIRST STARTED HAPPENING IN 2019, BUT THEY WANTED OVER $1000 TO FIX IT. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE 2020 WITH THIS PROBLEM DUE TO AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE. WHY IS THE 2014 NOT INCLUDED?
THE VEHICLE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DISPLAYS A "DRIVER DOOR AJAR" WARNING...DESPITE THE DOOR BEING FULLY CLOSED. THE DOME LIGHTS STAY ON, AND AN "ENGINE ON" ALERT APPEARS, AS WELL. TO CLEAR IT, THE DRIVER'S DOOR MUST BE CLOSED SEVERAL TIMES. IT IS OCCURRING MORE AND MORE OFTEN. THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY DURING THIS PROBLEM. IT SEEMS THIS IS A RAMPANT PROBLEM FROM WHAT MY RESEARCH INDICATES...AND SHOULD SEEMINGLY DICTATE A FACTORY RECALL.
I SEE THAT SOME 2014 FORD EDGE VEHICLES HAVE A FUEL PUMP RECALL. WHY IS MY 2014 FORD EDGE NOT INCLUDED. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP.

DURING THE FAILURE, THE DOOR COULD NOT BE LOCKED AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTS REMAINED ILLUMINATED. ON ONE OCCASION, THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR LOCK HAD FROZEN AND THE DOOR COULD NOT BE PROPERLY SECURED.

PUT THE CAR IN PARK MODE, TURNED OFF KEY, REMOVED KEY, WAS EXITING THE VEHICLE AND IT STARTED INDICATING THE CAR WAS NOT IN PARK. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE AND BOTH TIMES THE VEHICLE STARTED MOVING AS IT WAS IN NEUTRAL EVEN THOUGH THE KEY WAS REMOVED AND IT SHOWED IN PARK
BOUGHT VEHICLE APPROX 1.5 YEARS AGO FROM A CHRYSLER DEALER WITH 28000 MILES. PRESENTLY ABOUT 46000 MILES. WHILE DRIVING AT CITY SPEED, CAME TO A RED LIGHT AND STARTED SMELLING THIS ODOR OF BURNT DIFFERENTIAL FLUID OR ROTTEN EGG SMELL. IMMEDIATELY CALLED DEALER AND MADE APPT, FOR FOLLOWING DAY. WE WERE TOLD IT WAS NOT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER (WHICH WE THOUGHT IT WAS AND UNDER WARRANTY), BUT IT WAS THE CPU UNIT. WE WERE ALSO TOLD IT WOULD COST US $3000.00 . THE WARRANTY ON THE UNIT IS 5 YEARS OR 60000 MILES. WHICHEVER COMES FIRST. HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN ON A UNIT THAT NORMALLY LASTS A LIFETIME. ESPECIALLY AT 46000 MILES. WE DID SOME RESEARCH BECAUSE DEALER SAID THEY CANNOT WARRANTY OR EVEN CHECK WITH MANUFACTURE ON WARRANTY. WE FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON DEFECT WITH THE 2014 FORD EDGE ANF FORD KNOWS THE ISSYE AND WILL NOT DO ANYTHING TO RECALL OR REPAIR ANY OF THESE ISSUES. WE DONT HAVE $3000 DOLLARS TO REPAIR THE ISSUE BUT AM DISAPPOINTED THAT WE HAVE TO MAKE A KNOWN REPAIR ON A VEHICLE BOUTGHT A YEAR AND A HALF AGO THAT SHOULD NOT HAPPEN. THERE HAVE BEEN NEWS REPORTS ON TV ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE ON ITS SAFETY . HTTPS://BC.CTVNEWS.CA/MOBILE/FORD-OWNER-FEARS-FOR-HER-SAFETY-AFTER-SERIOUS-CAR-MALFUNCTION-1.3139692 . PLEASE ADVISE AND CHECK THIS NEWS REPORT. RIGHT NOW THIS VEHICLE WE SPENT $22000 THOUSAND IS PARKED AND CANNOT BE DRIVEN BECAUSE IT'S TOO DANGEROUS
I HAD SENT YOU A COMPLAINT ABOUT MY VEHICLE. COMPLAINT NUMBER 11384259 STATING THE VEHICLE CPU WAS DEFECTIVE. WHAT I MEANT TO SAY WAS "THE PTU UNIT IS DEFECTIVE"{ POWER TAKE OFF UNIT.}. THANK YOU AND I APOLOGIZE FOR THE MISTAKE.
1.PRESS OR LOOSING OFF BRAKES PEDAL GIVES A KNOCKING NOISE. 2. REAR VIEW CAMERA FLICKERS & SHUT OFF WITH A WARNING MESSAGE. 3. REARVIEW SIDE MIRRORS DO NOT WORK. 4. LIGHTER PLUG LOCATED BY MIDDLE COMPACT TOWARDS BACK ROW DOES NOT WORK.
VEHICLE REPEATEDLY HAS STALLED WHILE DRIVING. ALSO WILL SOMETIMES START WITH A ROUGH IDLE AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. PROBLEM IS RESOLVED IF VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED.
REAR BACKUP CAMERA CAN SHOW DISTORTED IMAGES OR SUDDENLY GO DARK WHEN ENGINE IS RUNNING AND PUT INTO REVERSE WHEN BACKING UP. CAMERA IMAGE IS SPORADIC. IT WILL SOMETIMES FLICKER AND GO OUT OR NOT ENGAGE AT ALL SHOWING EITHER A BLACK OR BLUE SCREEN AND SAYING "REAR CAMERA NOT AVAILABLE". HAPPENS W/O WARNING. WARMER WEATHER EFFECTS IT MORE OFTEN THAN IN COLD OR WHEN FOOT IS APPLIED TO THE BRAKE. I PURCHASED CAR BRAND NEW FROM FORD DEALERSHIP AND THIS STARTED HAPPENING AFTER WARRANTY WAS UP. TOOK TO FORD DEALERSHIP TO DIAGNOSE COST ESTIMATE OVER $800 TO FIX. TOOK TO LOCAL REPAIR SHOP AND WAS TOLD IT WAS ELECTRICAL AND NEEDED A CODE THAT THEY COULDN'T ACCESS. THERE'S A RECALL FOR 2020 FORD EDGE VEHICLES ON THIS MATTER AS THIS SHOULD BE GRANDFATHERED IN IN THE RECALL. IT DOES THE SAME EXACT THING! I HAVE VIDEO THAT SHOWS MUCH MORE HOW THIS HAPPENS.
POWER TRANSFER UNIT LEAKING AFTER 80,000 MILES, HAD THE VEHICLE SERVICED TO REPLACE PTU AND NEW PTU IS ALSO LEAKING. OTHER DRIVING ISSUES HAVE OCCURRED SINCE INCLUDING LOSING POWER STEER CAPABILITY ON WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS ON UNEVEN ROADS, UNABLE TO ACCURATELY RECREATE THE ISSUE AS IT IS VERY INTERMITTENT. ALL CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS, WRENCH, AND ADVANCETRAC DASHBOARD WARNINGS FLASH WHEN ELECTRICAL AND PROPULSION SYSTEMS MALFUNCTION.
1ST OCCURRENCE WAS WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AND THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STOPPED ACCELERATING AND WENT INTO LIMP MODE (A WRENCH WAS DISPLAYED ON THE DASHBOARD). I WAS NOT ABLE TO ACCELERATE AT ALL AND HAD TO PULL OFF THE INTERSTATE. TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE AND TURNED IT BACK ON AND THE WRENCH AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS OFF. THIS NOW OCCURS EVERY DAY AND IS A SAFETY ISSUE, IT HAPPENED WHEN I WAS MAKING A TURN AT A BUSY INTERSECTION AND ALMOST ENDED UP IN ANOTHER DRIVER HITTING ME AS I HAD NO POWER TO ACCELERATE OUT OF THE WAY. IN RESEARCHING THE ISSUE I BELIEVE IT IS DUE TO A FAULTY THROTTLE BODY CONTROL BUT AM UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE IT SINCE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THUS ERROR CODE GOES AWAY WITH EVERY RESTART...AT THE VERY LEAST IT SHOULD TELL ME WHAT THE LAST ERROR CODE WAS.
WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING AND BRAKING, THE PEDAL IS VERY STRONG AND THE CAR HARDLY STOPS
DOOR AJAR ALERT COMES ON AFTER CLOSING DRIVER DOOR CAUSING INTERIOR DOME LIGHT TO STAY ON AND EXTERNAL LOCKING MECHANISM DOES NOT WORK SUCH AS LOCK CODE BUTTONS AND HAND SENSOR CAUSING THE VEHICLE NOT TO LOCK. THIS HAPPENS WHEN EXITING THE VEHICLE. CONCERN FIR BATTERY DRAIN, UNSECURED VEHICLE AND EXTRA LIGHTING WHEN DRIVING. HAVE HAD AN INTERMITTENT ISSUE WITH BACK HATCH DOOR STATING SAME THING. NOTED THIS IS AY KNOWN PROBLEM WITH PREVIOUS YEAR FORD EDGE PRODUCTS AND MANY COMMENTS OUT IN THE INTERNET BY OTHER FORD EDGE OWNERS. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING OVER THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS
MY BRAKES MAKE A HISSING SOUND AND IT'S VERY HARD TO BRAKE. THE BRAKE PEDAL HARDLY MOVES WHEN I GO TO USE THE BRAKES.
MY CAR HAS COMPLETELY SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY!! A WRENCH ICON LIGHTS UP ON THE DASH BOARD. I CAN BARELY COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BEFORE CAR COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP. I WAS SOOO AFRAID OF BEING KILLED! THE MECHANIC CHECKED AND SAYS THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR. IT HAS HAPPENED 4 MORE TIMES. THE CAR STARTS UP AFTER I CAN PUT IT IN PARK AND DRIVES LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED UNTIL THE NEXT INCIDENT. WHO WILL HAVE TO DIE BEFORE FORD FINDS THE PROBLEM?
MY VEHICLE LOST POWER. A WRENCH ICON APPEARED ON THE DASH. I WAS ENTERING A GAS STATION SO THE CAR WAS IN MOTION AND I WAS ABLE TO PARK. I LOOKED IT UP AND FOUND OUT IT WAS A THROTTLE BODY FAILURE.. I HAD IT TOWED TO A FORD DEALER. I DIDNT TRUST TO DRIVE IT. FORD COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE BUT THE CODE WAS RETAINED.P2111. THE ISSUE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL WHICH WAS DISAPPOINTING. IF IT'S A KNOWN ISSUE IT SHOULDNT MATTER THE YR AND VIN#. IT'S A DANGEROUS ISSUE. IT WAS COVERED UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY LUCKILY AND WAS REPAIRED.
POWER SEAT ASSEMBLY IS BROKEN AND IT LOOKS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM AND IT NEEDS ADDRESSED ASAP BEFORE SOMEONE GET KILLED. MY FAMILY WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AND THE SEAT MADE A VERY FAST "ZIP" OR "RATCHETING" NOISE AND IMMEDIATELY TILTED BACKWARDS SEVERAL INCHES CAUSING ME TO SWERVE ALL OVER THE ROAD. IN MY SEARCH OF THIS PROBLEM, I FOUND IT WAS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND A VERY EXPENSIVE FIX ALL THE WHILE FORD REFUSES KNOWING ABOUT IT
'WHEN THIS CONDITION OCCURS, THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP (MIL) OR WRENCH LIGHT WILL ILLUMINATE AND THE VEHICLE MAY ENTER A LIMITED LIMP HOME MODE,' FEDERAL OFFICIALS SAID. 'IN THIS MODE, ENGINE POWER AND VEHICLE SPEED ARE REDUCED, WHILE FULL FUNCTION OF THE POWER STEERING, POWER BRAKING, LIGHTING, AND CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEMS ARE MAINTAINED.

NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
