Owner complaint, filed Sep 18, 2026 at 166,000 miles
“My 2015 Ford Edge suddenly turned into a nightmare on what started as a normal drive. I noticed the temperature gauge climbing quickly, the engine started overheating, and then the check engine light came on. Almost at the same time, the engine began feeling like it was slipping—power dropped off, it hesitated and ran rough under acceleration, almost as if the transmission were slipping, but it was the engine itself …”

My 2015 Ford Edge has an inoperative power liftgate. The problem started about a week ago. I would press the lift button and it would work inconsistently. Finally, yesterday, after buying groceries, I attempted to open the liftgate. It stopped leaving a crack. I attempted to pry it open with my fingers and all of a sudden, it started closing on me trapping two of my fingers. I was able to pry them out. It was was very painful and scary. I entered my car and the liftgate ajar light was on. I could do nothing about this. The next morning I learned that my battery was dead. I am now unable to use my car at all. Waiting for Ford to contact me to tow my car to the dealership for the repair.

Vehicle: 2015 Ford Edge with 2.0 Liter EcoBoost engine. Ref: DP26008 While driving, the "Engine Coolant Over Temperature" warning came on and the temperature level spiked and the check engine lights came on. Engine began to run really rough. At the time, I was travelling on the highway with my children in the car and had to pull off on the side of the road. After being stranded for 4 hours while waiting for a tow, I towed it to a Ford Dealership. Dealer confirmed there is coolant intrusion into the engine and referenced TSB 22-2229. Per dealer, vehicle needs a new engine.

My 2015 Ford Edge Titanium (VIN provided) suffered a catastrophic engine failure at 85,475 miles requiring a Ford long block replacement. After driving only 53,000 miles on the new corporate engine component, the vehicle began shaking violently and suffered a sudden, dangerous loss of power while driving, rendering it completely inoperable (it is sitting in my driveway unable to be driven). The vehicle threw critical fault codes P050B (Cold Start Ignition Timing) and P061B (Internal Control Module Torque Calculation Performance). Diagnostics indicate a terminal internal failure of the timing chain or torque converter. This vehicle has a severe, documented history of manufacturing and safety defects, including catalyst monitor sensor failure 08/23/16, fan relay failure 11/20/18, purge valve failure 02/27/21, a total loss of brakes while driving on 02/15/22 due to a rear caliper failure, a faulty throttle body on 03/06/22, and an incorrectly installed engine wiring harness by the dealership when engine was replaced. This list is not all inclusive. I have a 1.5" binder of repairs and services dating back to purchase date which are too numerous to attach. This failure directly mirrors the engine defect patterns currently being evaluated under NHTSA Defect Petition DP26008 / ODI 11754989.

Purchased car used from CarMax late 2024. Soon after 90 day Carmax warranty expired, the check engine light can on. Errors indicated engine missing on cyl #2 and that the O2 sensor was underperforming. Also, white smoke (steam) coming out of exhaust pipe. And, coolant fluid was all of a sudden low. I determined that there was a head gasket leak. As a repair was out of the question at the estimated cost of $6000, I elected to attempt to use a chemical stop leak. The #2 Oxygen sensor was replaced in order to acquire new CA tags. To date no repair has been performed. Car will over heat on highway if very hot weather and long grade is driven.

During operation of my 2015 Ford Edge Titanium, the vehicle experienced intermittent loss of acceleration and multiple electronic warning messages. While driving, pressing the accelerator pedal would sometimes result in little or no vehicle acceleration. The RPMs fluctuated abnormally and the vehicle appeared to enter a reduced-power condition. Warning messages included “Hill Start Assist Unavailable” and traction/anti-skid related warnings. Cruise control also became inoperable. The issue created a safety risk because the vehicle would not reliably accelerate during normal driving conditions, including while attempting to maintain speed in traffic. This created concern about merging, crossing intersections, or safely responding to traffic conditions. Additional symptoms included rear lights remaining illuminated unexpectedly and electronic brake-related behavior that appeared abnormal. An independent auto parts diagnostic scan identified low-voltage history codes and a brake switch/brake signal issue. The vehicle battery tested good at the time of inspection. The transmission reportedly showed no faults during the initial scan. The brake switch issue was temporarily adjusted to allow the vehicle to be driven to a repair facility, but the underlying issue has not yet been permanently repaired. The problem has been reproduced during multiple driving events and was observed by an independent service provider. The dealership later advised that no recall currently applies to the

I will purchase and have the brake lines replaced by an ANSI certified mechanic and then I will file suit against Ford to recover my costs to do the repair and cover legal fees.

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? The flexible brake hose on my 2015 Ford Edge failed/broke shortly after I purchased the vehicle. The vehicle also began experiencing engine performance issues, including a rough idle and rough driving condition after the check engine light came on. The vehicle and failed brake hose should be available for inspection upon request. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? The broken flexible brake hose created a serious safety risk because it could affect the vehicle’s braking ability and increase the risk of losing control or being unable to stop safely. The rough engine performance also caused concerns about the reliability and safe operation of the vehicle while driving. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? The issue has been observed and experienced consistently while driving the vehicle. The brake hose damage and rough engine performance were noticeable after the vehicle was purchased. (If a mechanic has looked at it, you can add: “An independent mechanic/dealership confirmed the brake hose was damaged.”) Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others?

I have called my dealer, Huntington Beach Ford and first they said they had the parts for recall 25V572. I took my car in and later in the day was told they do not have the parts. In the meantime, they tried to upsell me on service issues not related to the recall. I have been a loyal customer of both Ford Motor Company and Huntington Beach Ford. I must tell you that my loyalty is being tested. I think this is unacceptable and I would like to know when I can expect to get my car fixed.

On March 22, 2026, I was returning home from a trip to visit my mother in Colorado. The wind in Kansas was horrible on that day. While in the middle of the state, one of the panels around the sunroof on my 2015 Ford Edge CAME OFF of my car and shattered in the road behind me. Moments later, 3 other panels blew off and shattered on the road. I was in shock! Someone could have been killed or severely injured! I am still in shock! The next day, Monday the 23rd, I took the car over to James River Ford near my house and had them look at it. They stated that they had never seen this before. All but one of the panels around the sunroof had come off! They looked up recalls for me, but none were on the sunroof panels. Again, I was in shock. How could a car have been designed such that there was the possibility that the ROOF of the car could come off randomly while driving down the highway? I looked online and there was a lot of talk on how these panels are NOTORIOUS for coming off! There are multiple stories of issues with these panels. I purchased this car used and would have preferred to NOT have a sunroof, but I really liked the rest of the car. In fact, the sunroof did not work properly when I first purchased the car, so I chose not to even use it. Now, to have the panels rip off and shatter on the road is extremely alarming and frustrating! Most importantly, I need to know that Ford understands the dangers of these poorly designed panels around their panoramic sunroof! No “specia

On the morning of March 27, 2026 I had an unexpected rear driver side break line blowout with out warning or indication of a broken/damaged break line. Luckily the line blew while I was traveling slowly into my work yard. This could have been a life threating failure, I live 13 miles away from the nearest town, which i have to drive everyday to pick up my daughter from school. The road is not only a 2 way road with the speed limit to 55, but at times its extremely curvy and dangerous. Ford should be ashamed that a multi billion dollar company is not willing to fix this and are willing to put families live in jeopardy. I had to get the car towed from my house to BIG Brand Tire where the technician confirmed that the break line in fact did burst causing my breaks to fail. Big Brand Tire charged me $357.91 and the tow charged me 30 due to how far i had to tow it.

Engine

My 2015 Ford Edge suddenly turned into a nightmare on what started as a normal drive. I noticed the temperature gauge climbing quickly, the engine started overheating, and then the check engine light came on. Almost at the same time, the engine began feeling like it was slipping—power dropped off, it hesitated and ran rough under acceleration, almost as if the transmission were slipping, but it was the engine itself struggling from poor lubrication. Turns out coolant had gotten into the oil (a pretty common headache with these 3.5L V6 models, often from a failing internal water pump). The mixture turned my oil into a gross, milky sludge that couldn't lubricate the engine properly anymore, leading to overheating and a slipping sensation as things started to bind up inside. I had to pull over quickly before it got even worse—definitely not something I want to go through again.

Reading this record
Complaint volume is well above typical for a single model year.
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.
