2016 Ford Edge complaints

THE ADAPTIVE STEERING MODULE INTEGRATED IN THE RACK AND PINION SHORTED AND ONE CAN NO LONGER USE THE ADAPTIVE STEERING FEATURE. THE NHTSA RECALLED THE STEERING WHEEL WITH THE ELECTRIC ADAPTIVE STEERING MOTOR, HOWEVER NHTSA DID NOT RECALL THE RACK AND PINION WITH THE DEFECTIVE ADAPTIVE ELECTRONICS. I'M LUCKY MY STEERING WHEEL FAILED STRAIGHT AND DID NOT CAUSE THE STEERING WHEEL TO BE COCKED. I WOULD LIKE TO PREVENT CAR MANUFACTURERS FROM INTEGRATING ELECTRONICS INTO NON-SERVICEABLE COMPONENTS. THE ONLY WAY TO RESOLVE THE ADAPTIVE STEERING FAILURE IS TO REPLACE THE RACK AND PINION. GOING FORWARD ALL AUTOMOTIVE MANUFACTURES SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO INTEGRATE NON-SERVICEABLE ELECTRONICS WITH MECHANICAL PARTS. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND I TRIED TO MODIFY THE SETTINGS FOR THE ADAPTIVE STEERING IN DRIVER ASSIST SETTINGS.THE ADAPTIVE STEERING FEATURE IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE SINCE THE ELECTRONICS SHORTED. WHY RECALL THE STEERING WHEEL AND NOT THE ELECTRONICS IN THE RACK AND PINION. IT DOES NOT ADD UP BECAUSE IT WAS AN 50% REPAIR. WHY BOTHER WITH THE RECALL IF YOU DID NOT ADDRESS THE ENTIRE PROBLEM. THE ADAPTIVE STEERING ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS IN THE RACK SHOULD BE A REMOVABLE MODULE SO YOU CAN REPAIR THE ELECTRONICS WITHOUT HAVING THE CHANGE THE ENTIRE RACK AND PINION.

VEHICLE ENGINE WARNING LIGHTS COME ON LUCKY TO BE IN FROM A DEALERSHIP THEY SAID THERE WAS A NATIONAL HIGHWAY BULLETIN ABOUT ENGINE, LUCKILY I HAD WARRANTY TOOK 43 WEEKS TO AUTHORIZE ARE AWARE OF A PROBLEM WITH ENGINE

VEHICLE HAS STALLED MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE DRIVING OR STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT WITHOUT WARNING. "ACCESSORY POWER" REMAINS ON SO LIGHTS, POWER STEERING ETC. THE FIRST TWO TIMES IT HAPPENED I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT AND HAD TO PLACE THE CAR IN PARK TO RESTART THE VEHICLE WHICH TOOK MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS UNTIL THE VEHICLE WOULD REMAIN RUNNING. TODAY THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE COMING OFF OF A HIGHWAY, I HAD TO PULL OVER MULTIPLE TIMES TO RESTART THE VEHICLE WHEN EVER I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS AS THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL. I BARELY MADE IT TO WORK. I AM WONDERING WHY THERE IS NOT A RECALL ON THE VEHICLE FOR THIS ISSUE AS FORD DID RECALL THE 2017 EDGE FOR SIMILAR PROBLEMS.

AS I WAS DRIVING MY 2016 FORD EDGE, I WENT TO STOP AND AS I PRESSED THE BRAKE, IT SLOWED AT THE POINT TO WHERE IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN COMING TO A FULL STOP, THEN THE PEDAL RELEASED AND WAS PUSHED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR BEFORE IT CAME TO A FULL STOP. THE NEXT FEW STOPS...THE SAME THING HAPPENED. I CALLED MY FORD DEALERSHIP AND ASKED IF IT COULD BE LOW ON BRAKE FLUID, EVEN THOUGH NO INDICATOR DISPLAYED ON MY DASH. THEY SAID IT COULD BE A NUMBER OF THINGS. BUT AS I CONTINUED TO DRIVE AND STOP, IT GOT WORSE. THANKFULLY, INSTEAD OF JUMPING ON THE HIGHWAY, I TOOK ALL BACK ROADS TO THAT DEALERSHIP. AS SOON AS THE TECH GOT IN THE DRIVERS SEAT AND PUSHED THE PEDAL, TO TAKE FOR A TEST DRIVE, HE TOLD ME 'THIS THING IS NOT GOING ANYWHERE'. HE GOT UNDERNEATH, HAD ME PUSH THE PEDAL, AND FLUID 'SPRAYED LIKE A WATER FOUNTAIN.' HE SAID HE CAN SEE THAT THE BRAKE LINE HAD SPILT. THIS WAS THE DRIVERS SIDE (LEFT FRONT) BRAKE LINE.

THE ENGINE IS LEAKING COOLANT INTO CYLINDER #3. THIS CAUSES THE ENGINE TO OVERHEAT AND WHITE SMOKE TO COME OUT OF THE EXHAUST.

PUSHED THE BRAKE PEDAL BACKING OUT OF MY GARAGE AND HEARD A POP SOUND, PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. WITH BRAKE FLUID I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP, THOUGH AS I APPROACHED STOP SINGS AND SIGNALS THE CLOSER I GOT TO STOPPING, THE PEDAL WOULD DROP CLOSE TO THE FLOOR AND CONTINUE TO COAST UNTIL I STEPPED HARD ON THE PEDAL TO STOP IT. I WAS TOLD (AS I HAVE SEEN IN AT LEAST ONE OTHER REPORT ON THIS SITE) THAT THE RIGHT FRONT BRAKE LINE HAD A CUT ON IT AND HAD EXPLODED. I DOUBT A ROAD HAZARD CUT THE LINE BUT SUSPECT AN ISSUE WITH THE PART ITSELF. *TR

INTERNAL COOLANT LEAK INTO CYLINDER #2 CAUSING MISS FIRE CODE AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. KNOWN ISSUE BY FORD AND RECOMMENDS COMPLETE ENGINE CHANGE AND IS NOT COVERING ANY OF THE COST. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND WENT TO THE FLOORBOARD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO FELIX SABATES FORD LINCOLN (7601 SOUTH BLVD, CHARLOTTE, NC 28273, 980-224-5854). THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE BRAKE LINES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS REPAIRED THREE TIMES AT THE SAME DEALER HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000.

BETWEEN GETTING IN MY CAR AND STOPPING AT ANOTHER ERRAND, THE FIRST PANEL OF MY PANORAMIC SUNROOF CRACKED FROM FRONT TO BACK, RIGHT DOWN THE MIDDLE. THERE WAS NO IMPACT POINT. I NEVER HEARD A ROCK HIT MY CAR. I DROVE ON THE HIGHWAY FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES BETWEEN STOPS. I DID DRIVE OVER A DIP IN THE ROAD BUT EVEN THEN, I NEVER HEARD IT CRACK. THE DEALER SUGGESTED I PLACE A CLAIM WITH MY INSURANCE BECAUSE OF THE COST. NO ONE CAN TELL ME HOW THE SUNROOF CRACKED. THE CAR IS GARAGED, THE TEMPERATURE WAS MODERATE, AND I DID NOT GO FROM A HOT ENVIRONMENT TO A COLD CAR WASH AS SOME HAVE SUGGESTED. *TR

THERE WAS RECENTLY A RECALL FOR DOOR LATCHES FOR SEVERAL FORD MODELS AND I BELIEVE THE FORD EDGE SHOULD BE ADDED TO THAT LIST. MY DRIVERS SIDE DOOR DOES NOT ALWAYS LATCH EVEN AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. AS FORD STATED, I AM WORRIED 'EVEN IF AN OWNER GETS THE DOOR TO LATCH AFTER REPEATED ATTEMPTS, IT IS STILL POSSIBLE THAT IT WILL BECOME UNLATCHED DURING DRIVING.' THIS HAPPENS WHILE SHUTTING THE DOOR WHILE INSIDE THE VEHICLE AND OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE. *TR

LOST POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREET. WARNING CAME ON WITH : 1. STEERING ASSIST FAULT SERVICE REQUIRED; 2. SERVICE ADVANCE TRAC. MY 2016 NORMALLY IS USED ON THE HIGHWAY, NOT CITY. LOSS OF POWER PULLED VEHICLE TO SIDE OF ROAD. 80K MILES ON EDGE. *TR

CAR CAUGHT FIRE WHILE PARKED AND UNATTENDED! ON 5/26/2020 @ 3:12AM AWOKE TO A LOUD POP. LOOKED OUT WINDOW AND SAW CAR ON FIRE WITH FIRE IN THE REAR PASSENGER TIRE WELL AREA. BY THE TIME THE FIRE DEPARTMENT PUT THE FIRE OUT PASSENGER SIDE OF CAR WAS PRETTY BURNED UP. CAR HAD BEEN PARKED IN THE STREET IN FRONT OF MY HOME FOR ABOUT 10 HOURS PRIOR TO THE FIRE AND THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF FOUL PLAY. *TR

WHILE TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY, VEHICLE BEGAN TO MAKE HUMMING SOUND FROM REAR. AFTER ABOUT 1 MINUTE OF THESE SOUNDS, THE ORANGE WRENCH LIGHT APPEARED AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SPUTTER. VEHICLE CONTINUED SPUTTERING AT EACH STOP LIGHT, RUNNING ROUGH UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO REACH MY DESTINATION AND TURN VEHICLE OFF.

MY CAR HAD BEEN PARKED FOR THREE DAYS WITHOUT MOVING OR OTHER USE. I WALKED PAST THE BACK AND SAW THAT THE BOTTOM OF THE REAR WINDSHIELD HAD AN ALLIGATOR EDGE (PIECES ON THE GROUND), IT LOOKED AS IF SOMEONE HAD TO TRIED TO PUNCH *OUT* ON THE RIGHT SIDE, AND THE WHOLE WINDSHIELD WAS SHATTERED WHEN YOU LOOKED CLOSELY AT THE GLASS. THERE WERE NO HOLES IN THE WINDSHIELD AND NO SIGN OF IMPACT.FROM THE OUTSIDE OF THE CAR. WE LIVE IN ON AN ACRE AND HAVE SECURITY CAMERAS SO VERIFIED THERE WAS NO VANDALISM ACTED ON THE CAR NOR DID ANY ACT OF NATURE COME INTO CONTACT WITH MY CAR. IN LOOKING, THERE ARE SEVERAL PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET WITH THE SAME EXPERIENCE, WITH THE SAME EXACT GLASS BURST PATTERNS INCLUDING THE POP OUT SPOT ON THE RIGHT SIDE. WHEN I DID MOVE THE CARE TO ALLOW THE GLASS REPAIR PERSON ACCESS, CLOSING THE DOOR CAUSED THE WINDSHIELD TO FALL IN STARTING AT THE PUNCH OUT SPOT.

THE "DECORATIVE" PIECE ON THE REAR LIFTGATE THAT HAS THE REVERSE LIGHTS IS SEVERELY CONDENSATION AND FILLS WITH WATER, WHICH WILL EVENTUALLY SHORT OUT THE REVERSE LIGHTS CAUSING A SAFETY HAZARD AND THE LOCAL DEALER FUCILLO FORD WILL NOT REPAIR OR REPLACE THIS UNIT WANTS TO CHARGE ME 1300.00 TO REPAIR AND I HAD COMPLAINED THREE TIMES ABOUT IT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER THE WARRANTY. I DO NOT HAVE PHOTOS OF THIS NEXT RAINSTORM I WILL SECURE SOME AND FORWARD ON.

ON TUESDAY 29 APRIL 2020 WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND STRIKING NO BUMPS OR POTHOLES WE OBSERVED THE PANORAMIC FIXED PORTION OF THE SUNROOF CRACK FROM CORNER TO CORNER. NOTHING HAD STRUCK THE GLASS AND THE INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR TEMPERATURE WERE ABOUT EQUALIZED. THIS HAS CAUSED A SEVERE SAFETY HAZARD AND I AM NO LONGER DRIVING THE VEHICLE AS I USE THIS TO TRANSPORT MY SEVEN-MONTH-OLD GRANDSON AND CANNOT TRUST THE GLASS PANEL FORD HAS BEEN CONTACTED AND HAS NOT OFFERED ANY RESOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM

I OPENED THE REAR LIFT GATE WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND WAS LOADING STUFF INTO THE BACK OF VEHICLE; EITHER I ACCIDENTALLY HIT THE KEY FOB IN MY POCKET OR MY FOOT TRIGGERED THE AUTOMATIC OPEN/CLOSE SENSOR AND THE LIFTGATE BEGAN CLOSING ON ME AND WOULD NOT STOP EVEN ONCE IT FELT PRESSURE FROM HITTING AN OBJECT (ME). I BARELY SQUEEZED OUT OF THE WAY BEFORE IT SLAMMED SHUT; THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS NOW AND IS GOING TO KILL SOMEONE!

WHILE DRIVING IN MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN THE PASSENGER SIDE WIPER THROWS THE WATER IN FRONT OF THE DRIVERS MAIN FIELD OF VISION; THE END OF THE PASSENGER SIDE WIPER PASSES DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE DRIVER AS IT IS WIPING THE WINDSHIELD AND THE EXCESS WATER FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE WIPER IS THROWN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DRIVERS FRONT/DIRECT FIELD OF VISION MAKING IT VERY HARD TO SEE DURING THE RAIN CREATING AN EXTREME SAFETY HAZARD; THIS COULD EASILY BE REMEDIED WITH A SHORTER WIPER ARM MECHANISM ON THE PASSENGER SIDE.

THE CAR HAS HAD PROBLEMS WITH STALLING FOR SEVERAL MONTHS, WHEN IN MOTION BOTH AT LOW SPEEDS AND UP TO 40 MPH, AS WELL AS AT IDLE. EACH TIME THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS ILLUMINATED. IT HAS GIVEN CODES P2196 AND P1450. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS, AND THEY SAID IT NEEDS THE FUEL VAPOR CANISTER PURGE VALVE REPLACED. I NOTICED THAT FORD ISSUED A SAFETY RECALL FOR THE FOCUS, 18S32, FOR A FAULTY VAPOR CANISTER PURGE VALVE, AND HAVE FOUND MUCH EVIDENCE ON THE INTERNET THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ACROSS FORD PRODUCT LINES. THIS IS NOT COVERED UNDER EITHER THE EMISSIONS OR THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. *TR

ERROR CODE P1450

DRIVER DOOR DOESN'T LATCH THE FIRST TIME WE CLOSE THE DOOR.

2.0L ECOBOOST, 40,000 MILES, FWD, ENGINE TRIES TO STALL WHEN COMING TO STOP AT TRAFFIC LIGHT, ROUGH IDLE, MAKES GROANING OR THRUMMING SOUND SIMILAR TO HELICOPTER. NO POWER WHEN USING ACCELERATOR, ENGINE OFF THEN ON CLEARS ISSUE. READ P2196 CODE, CLEANED MAF SENSOR, BUT STALLING RETURNED. RANDOM, NOT REGULAR FAILURE, SO NOT ABLE TO RECREATE ON DEMAND. NO FAULT CODE LOGGED MOST RECENT INCIDENT. HAS OCCURRED 4 TIMES OVER LAST MONTH

ONE EVENING IN MAY, 2018, TOOK MY CAR TO GET GAS AND FELT THE BRAKES TOO SOFT. WHEN LEAVING THE GAS STATION, MY BRAKES WENT TO THE FLOOR. PUT EMERGENCY BRAKE ON WITH HAZARD LIGHTS AND WAS ABLE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AT A NEARBY RESIDENTIAL AREA. BRAKE FLUID WAS ADDED WITHIN MINUTES; ALL THE FLUID RAN TO THE GROUND. IT WAS TOWED NEXT MORNING TO THE DEALER. DEALER STATED THE BRAKE LINE HAD A 2" SLASH; SAID ANYTHING COULD'VE CAUSED IT. IT WAS FIXED UNDER WARRANTY. ON MARCH 7, 2020, WENT TO RUN ERRANDS. WHEN I PARKED AT LOT, THE BRAKES FELT SOFT. WHEN LEAVING THE STORE LOT, MY BRAKES WENT TO THE FLOOR, AGAIN! THIS TIME, I'M ALREADY IN TRAFFIC; SCARIEST THING EVER! AGAIN, PUT MY HAZARD LIGHTS AND AT BARELY NO SPEED AT ALL, TURNED THROUGH RESIDENTIAL STREETS TO GET HOME SAFE. AGAIN HAD IT TOWED MONDAY MORNING, BACK TO THE DEALER. I EXPLAINED THAT THIS PREVIOUSLY HAPPENED IN MAY 2018. NEW INVOICE STATES: "LEFT FRONT BRAKE HOSE LEAKING," AND "INSPECT AND FOUND LEFT FRONT BRAKE HOSE SPLITTING/LEAKING; REPLACED LEFT FRONT BRAKE HOSE, BLEED BRAKE SYSTEM, TEST DROVE AND OK AT THIS TIME." THIS TIME? I WAS TOLD THE MAY 2018 ISSUE WAS THE SAME, EXCEPT THAT ONE WAS THE BACK BRAKE HOSE. AND NO WARRANTY THIS TIME; HAD TO PAY OVER $500 FOR REPAIR. VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT FORD HASN'T MADE A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE. I TRAVEL 35 MILES DAILY TO WORK ON THE TOLL ROAD. WHAT AM I TO DO WHEN THIS HAPPENS ON A 60-MILE SPEED LIMIT HIGHWAY? I'M TERRIFIED NOW AND DON'T HAVE MANY OPTIONS FOR GETTING TO WORK

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 20 MPH ENTERING A PARKING LOT, THE REAR WINDOW FRACTURED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A GLASS COMPANY TO HAVE THE GLASS REPLACED. THE GLASS COMPANY WAS UNABLE TO LOCATE THE CAUSE OF THE FRACTURE. THE REAR WINDOW GLASS WAS REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 74,000.

LARGE CRACKS HAVE DEVELOPED IN THE REAR, FIXED, PANORAMIC SUNROOF. THE CAR IS GARAGE STORED AND THE GLASS DOESN'T SHOW ANY SIGNS OF IMPACT ON THE OUTSIDE. THEY APPEAR TO BE STRESS FRACTURES.

JUST NOTICED A LARGE CRACK DEVELOP IN THE PANORAMIC SUNROOF - FRONT PANEL. UNFORTUNATELY I DO NOT REMEMBER THE EXACT DATE. THE CRACK STARTED SMALL AND SPREAD INTO DIFFERENT CRACKS COVERING A GOOD PORTION OF THE SUNROOF. NO EVIDENCE OF ROCK OR IMPACT. CRACKS APPEAR TO BE STRESS RELATED THOUGH I AM NOT AN EXPERT. CALLED FORD DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THIS IS NOT COVERED AS VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY. MY VEHICLE IS A 2016 FORD EDGE SPORT WITH 25K MILES. GIVEN A VERBAL ESTIMATE THAT THE PART WOULD COST $1K AND LABOR JUST SHY OF $2K FOR A TOTAL OF $3K. I WILL AGAIN REINFORCE THAT THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENT OR IMPACT AND THE CRACK APPEARED ONE MORNING AND HAVE GROWN. I AM LOOKING TO SELL THE CAR AND THIS IS IMPACTING THE FINAL PRICE I AM TRYING TO NEGOTIATE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 45 MPH, WITHOUT WARNING THE DRIVETRAIN FRACTURED, CAUSING THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE AXLE TO BECOME FRACTURED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO STEER THE VEHICLE SAFELY OFF OF THE ROADWAY. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE TECHNICIAN DETERMINED THAT THE PTV UNIT (DRIVETRAIN), TRANSMISSION AND AXLE FRACTURED AND NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER BUCKEYE FORD LONDON 110 US-42, LONDON, OH 43140 (800) 800-3673 WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED BUT NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 76,140.

11/2018 - WHILE PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY I PRESSED BRAKE TO START CAR, CAR JERKED AND PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. I PUMPED BRAKES AND THEY SEEMED TO BE OKAY. STARTED DRIVING AND PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AGAIN WHEN I WAS BRAKING. WAS ONLY ABLE TO STOP BY PUMPING BRAKES. DEALER STATED THAT A FRONT BRAKE LINE RUPTURED AND REPAIRED THE LINE. VEHICLE WAS 2 YEARS OLD. WITH UNDER 36,000 MILES ON 1/27/2020 WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET, I PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND HEARD A LOUD BANG AND THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. I TRIED PUMPING THE BRAKES AND HEARD ANOTHER BANG WITH THE PEDAL GOING TO THE FLOOR AGAIN. I WAS DOWN THE STREET FROM MY HOME SO I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR HOME AND CALL A TOW TRUCK. I HAD IT TOWED TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT BOTH FRONT BRAKE LINES HAD RUPTURED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS ON, THERE WAS WHITE SMOKE COMING FROM THE EXHAUST PIPE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FORD OF MURFREESBORO (1550 NW BROAD ST, MURFREESBORO, TN 37129 (615) 713-1436) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE BLOCK WAS FRACTURED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE BUT NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS TAKEN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 72,680.

GOT CODES FOR NO STEERING ASSIST FAULT AND NO ADVANCE TRAC, MEANING NO POWER STEERING AND NO AWD. THERE ARE RECALLS FOR THIS BUT WAS TOLD, MY CAR DIDN'T APPLY BECAUSE NOT MADE AT THE PLANTS THEY WERE MADE. TOOK MY CAR TO A FORD DEALERSHIP, HAD THEM LOOK AT IT, AFTER DISCONNECTING BATTERY FOR 10 MINUTES, BOTH CAME BACK, BUT SAID RACK AND PINION WAS BAD? MY CAR JUST PAST THE 36,000 MILES IN GARAGE MILES WERE 38804. THIS CAR ONLY DRIVES ON PAVED ROADS, NOT ALL NEW PAVED BUT GOOD ROADS. 'HOW CAN THIS BE PART BE BAD WITH JUST 2000 MILES OVER COVERAGE? WHY IS IT BAD AT THIS MILEAGE? NOT HAPPY TO HAVE TO PAY $2600.00 TO REPLACE AT SUCH LOW MILLAGE? SOMETHING WAS BAD WITH THIS PART FROM THE START!!! IF I HAVE TO REPLACE THIS PART AND NOT COVERED BY FORD PLUS MY COST TO I PAID TO HAVE THEM LOK AT IT. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER FORD, BUILT TOUGH MY ASS!!! PLANTS

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON THE INTERSTATE, THREE DIFFERENT TIMES IT SUDDENLY, WITHOUT WARNING, LOST ALL POWER AND SHUTDOWN THE CAR. NO POWER, LIGHTS, POWER STEERING, ETC. I HAD TO COAST TO A STOP ON A MAJOR INTERSTATE. ONCE I WAS STOPPED, TURNED OFF THE CAR AND IT RESTARTED LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED. THESE EVENTS WERE VERY DANGEROUS. ONCE WAS WHEN IT WAS RAINING SO WHEN THE CAR LOST POWER, THE WIPERS STOPPED AT 70 MPH SO I HAD TO NAVIGATE TO THE SHOULDER WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO SEE. A SECOND TIME WAS AT NIGHT DRIVING 70 MPH, WHEN IT SHUTDOWN, I LOST HEADLIGHTS AND I COULDN'T SEE. IT WAS TERRIFYING AS I WAS IN A REMOTE AREA OF I-49 WITHOUT ANY LIGHTING TO NAVIGATE TO THE SHOULDER. AGAIN, ONCE STOPPED AND PUT IN PARK, IT RESTARTED IMMEDIATELY. PLEASE NOTE, I'M NOT THE OWNER OF THIS CAR. I WAS DRIVING IT AS A LOANER FROM A USED CAR DEALERSHIP. THIS PROBLEM WAS SO SERIOUS I AM REPORTING DIRECTLY TO THE NHTSA AS THIS CAR HAD NO RECALLS TO ADDRESS. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET INJURIES OR DIE. I WAS TERRIFIED.

THIS IS REGARDING FORD'S SAFETY RECALL 19S26. MY CAR TOO SHOWED SIMILAR SYMPTOMS AS MENTIONED IN THE RECALL NOTICE AND THE DEALERSHIP HAD TO REPLACE THE STEERING . GEAR AND THE BOLTS. UNFORTUNATELY, MY CAR DOES NOT SHOW UP IN THE RECALL LIST EVEN THOUGH THE MAKE, MODEL AND THE MANUFACTURING PLANT MATCHES. THE REPAIRS COST ME A 100$ DEDUCTIBLE ON MY EXTENDED WARRANTY AND 60$ TO JUMP START THE CAR. OTHER COSTS INCLUDED HAVING TO DEPEND ON UBER FOR TRANSPORTATION. MY MOTIVE TO FILE THIS COMPLAINT IS TO MAKE SURE THE RECALL VEHICLE LIST IS ACCURATE.

WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT- VERY POOR LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS, IF ITS RAINING, IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE WHITE OR YELLOW DIVIDING LINE. VERY HAZARDOUS ON TWO LANE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. FOUND MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON OTHER WEBSITES. NO PICTURE APPLICABLE. SUGGEST A ROAD TEST ON 2016 FORD EDGE AT NIGHT IN RAIN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING, THE BRAKES FAILED AND THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD WHEN IT WAS DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS NO BRAKE FLUID IN THE VEHICLE AND THE BRAKE EMERGENCY WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 38,000.

10 NOV 2019, USED THE KEY FOB TO CLOSE THE REAR HATCH. CAME BACK HOME AND FOUND THE REAR WINDOW COMPLETELY SHATTERED BUT STILL INTACT. THERE WERE NO HOLES OTHER INDICATIONS OF ANYTHING THROWN AT THE WINDOW. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED TWENTY-FIVE FEET OFF THE ROADWAY IN MY PRIVATE DRIVEWAY. THERE IS NO REASON WHY THIS WINDOW SHOULD HAVE SHATTERED.

MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT READ 'CRANK CASE PRESSURE SENSOR' AND WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE 'ADD COOLANT' LIGHT CAME ON AND BEFORE I GOT TO THE NEXT TOWN, THE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON NOTIFYING ME THAT THE ENGINE WAS GOING TO SWITCH INTO THE ENGINE SAVING MODE BEING THAT IT NEEDED MORE COOLANT EMERGENTLY. I USED NEARLY A GALLON OF COOLANT THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS AND BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO A FORD DEALERSHIP" FOR DIAGNOSING AND SERVICING. THEY SAID I HAD A CRACKED BLOCK DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE WATER PUMP IS LOCATED INSIDE THE ENGINE INSTEAD OF OUTSIDE OF THE ENGINE ON THESE VEHICLES WHICH HAS BEEN RAISING HAVOC IN A LOT OF THESE ENGINES BECAUSE IT DOESN'T MAKE THE PROPER SEAL CAUSING A LEAK TO OCCUR AND THE MATERIAL THEY USE FOR THEIR WATER PUMP IS VERY THIN AND OFTEN TIMES CAUSES A LEAK FROM THE COOLANT THAT GOES DIRECTLY INTO THE ENGINE WHICH IT DID IN MY SITUATION AND CAUSE THE ENGINE TO CRACK. IF I HAD BEEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WHEN THIS WOULD'VE HAPPENED IT WOULD'VE BEEN DETRIMENTAL TO MYSELF, MY PASSENGERS AND OTHER PEOPLE ON THE ROAD AT THAT TIME!

VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN MY GARAGE OVERNIGHT. THE NEXT MORNING I PULLED THE CAR OUT OF GARAGE AND TURNED IT ON TO WARM UP. I THEN DROVE MY SON DOWN TO THE BUS STOP (ABOUT 4 HOUSES DOWN ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET) AND HEARD NOSES WE THOUGHT WAS ICE FALLING OFF VEHICLE. REALIZED THE WHOLE BACK WINDOW WAS COMPLETELY SHATTERED AND FALLING OFF. COMPLETED AN INSURANCE CLAIM AND HAD TO PAY DEDUCTIBLE TO HAVE WINDOW REPLACED. THE SAFELITE TECHNICIAN THAT COMPLETED THE REPLACEMENT STARED THIS WAS THE 4TH FORD EDGE HE'S HAD TO REPLACE THE BACK WINDOW ON THIS PAST YEAR FROM THE WINDOW SHATTERING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WATER WOULD COLLECT INSIDE THE ENTIRE REAR REFLECTOR PANEL LIGHTS SURROUNDING THE LICENSE PLATE. THE WATER WOULD CAUSE THE LIGHTS TO SHORT WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DAVIDSON FORD OF CLAY (3690 NY-31, LIVERPOOL, NY 13090, 315-860-0096) WHERE THE LIGHTS WERE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA TO FILE A COMPLAINT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH, THE REAR WINDOW SHATTERED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE DEFROSTER WAS IN USE WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO KOONS FORD OF BALTIMORE (6970 SECURITY BLVD, WOODLAWN, MD 21244, (410) 298-3800) WHERE THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THEY WOULD GET IN TOUCH WITH THE MANUFACTURER AND THEN GIVE HIM A CALL BACK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 26,000.

WE ARE THE ORIGINAL OWNERS OF THE 2016 EDGE. AT APPROXIMATELY 48,000 MILES, WE HEARD A POPPING NOISE IN THE FRONT SUSPENSION WHICH PROGRESSED TO A LOUD SQUEAKING SOUND ON BUMPS AND TURNING. THE LOCAL DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. AT 54,000 MILES, THE VEHICLE STARTED DARTING ON UNEVEN ROAD SURFACES (RAPID SHIFTS IN DIRECTIONAL STABILITY, OFTEN CHANGING LANES WITHOUT WARNING). THE LOCAL DEALER SAID THERE WERE NO TSB'S ON THAT PROBLEM AND DID NOT FIND A PROBLEM(!). I RAISED THE FRONT SUSPENSION MYSELF AND FOUND THE DRIVERS BALL JOINT ALMOST READY TO DISLODGE FROM THE CONTROL ARM. I REPLACED THE LOWER CONTROL ARM MYSELF (I AM A RETIRED AUTO INSTRUCTOR) FOLLOWING FORD'S RECOMMENDATIONS. AFTER AN ALIGNMENT, THE VEHICLE DRIVES CONSIDERABLY BETTER BUT SOMEHOW NOT PERFECT. NOTE THAT THERE IS STILL A CLUNKING IN THE FRONT SUSPENSION BUT THERE DOESNT APPEAR TO BE ANYTHING LOOSE, ALTHOUGH THE PASSENGER SIDE LOWER BALL JOINT APPEARS TO BE LOOSER THAN WHAT I WOULD EXPECT FOR THAT YEAR VEHICLE WITH THAT MILEAGE (NOW JUST AT 57,000 MILES.) THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION WHICH CERTAINLY SHOULD NOT HAPPEN ON A VEHICLE WITH THAT FEW MILES

MY FIANC WAS DRIVING HER VEHICLE WHEN SHE PRESSED THE BRAKE AND IT SEEMED TO GO TO THE FLOOR. IT WASN'T UNTIL THE LOW BRAKE FLUID LIGHT CAME ON THAT SHE REALIZED THERE WAS A PROBLEM. THANKFULLY THE LIGHT CAME ON AS SHE WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT AND THE STORE AND NOT TRYING TO SLOW DOWN FROM 55MPH. I MET HER AT THE PARKING LOT SHE STOPPED IN AND UPON INVESTIGATING I FOUND BRAKE FLUID ALL UNDER THE VEHICLE AND ALL OVER THE WHEEL LINER. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS INFORMED THE LEFT FRONT LINE RUPTURED. WE HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR 5 MONTHS AS WE BOUGHT IT CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED. DEALERSHIP INFORMED US THAT THE LINE WASN'T COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, IT HAS 24,250 MILES ON IT. THE SELLING DEALERSHIP ADVERTISED THE CPO AS BEING WORTH THE EXTRA PRICE OVER A REGULAR USED CAR BECAUSE IT WOULD TAKE CARE OF EVERYTHING WITH THE 12 MONTH/12,000 MIKE BUMPER TO BUMPER, A FLAT OUT LIE. I CONTACTED FORD AND AFTER A GREAT DEAL OF BACK AND FORTH FOR OVER A WEEK, THEY DENIED ANY ASSISTANCE. NOW I'M ON THE HOOK FOR A $600 REPAIR BILL AND WONDERING HOW LONG IT WILL BE UNTIL THE OTHER LINE BURSTS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND FORD WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I WILL BE SELLING THIS CAR ASAP AND IT WILL BE THE LAST FORD PRODUCT I EVER OWN.

LEFT FRONT BRAKE HOSE RUPTURED. I WAS DRIVING AND THE CHECK BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON. ADDED BRAKE FLUID. THE NEXT MORNING I TOOK OUT AND CAME TO THE END OF THE STEET, HAD TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC, THE BRAKE HOSE HAD RUPTURED CAUSING THE BRAKE FLUID TO LEAK OUT.

WE HAVE A 2016 EDGE AND SHORTLY AFTER DRIVING WE OPENED THE VISTA ROOF NOTICED A A LONG CRACK THAT RAN COMPLETELY FROM ONE SIDE OF THE MOVABLE WINDOW TO THE OTHER. THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS A STONE CHIP BUT HAVING LOOKED AT BLUE OVAL.COM I SEE THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN ADDRESSED BY FORD AND ALSO IGNORED. SO WE NOW HAVE TO PAY FOR THE WINDOW REPLACEMENT EVEN THOUGH IT APPEARS IT IS A PRODUCTION PROBLEM. I NOW HAVE TO PAY THE PRICE FOR THEIR LACK OF ENGINEERING AND QUALITY CONTROL.

WHILE DRIVING A MONTH AGO THE POWER STEERING FAULT WARNING LIGHT WENT ON& I LOST POWER STEERING. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED BACK ON I RECEIVED 3 WARNING LIGHTS: UPHILL START ASSIST DISABLED, POWER STEERING FAULT DISABLED & TRACTION CONTROL DISABLED. 6 STEERING GEARS HAVE BEEN REPLACED IN THE VEHICLE & IT'S STILL AT THE DEALER NOT FIXED. VEHICLE IS UNDRIVEABLE

SUDDEN REAR BACKLIGHT SHATTER IN COLD WEATHER WHEN BACKING OUT OF DRIVEWAY. OUT DOOR TEMPERATURE WA 9F. VEHICLE HAD BEEN WARMING UP IN GARAGE FOR 10 MINUTES BEFORE DRIVING.

I WAS SITING AT A RED LIGHT AND THE BACK GLASS EXPLODED. NOTHING HIT THE CAR, THE WINDOW JUST SHATTERED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2016 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING AT A LOW RATE OF SPEED, THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY UPON INITIAL IMPACT. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT'S UPPER BODY WENT INTO THE PASSENGER SEAT AND CAUSED HIS FOOT TO BECOME WEDGED INTO THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE VEHICLE THEN CRASHED INTO A GARAGE. ONLY THE DRIVER'S SIDE LEG AIR BAG DEPLOYED DURING THE SECOND IMPACT. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED AN INCOMPLETE SPINAL CORD INJURY, WHICH CAUSED HIM TO HAVE NECK SURGERY. THE DRIVER OF THE OTHER VEHICLE SOUGHT MEDICAL ATTENTION FOR THEIR UNKNOWN INJURIES. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS UNKNOWN. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED AND DEEMED TOTALED BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY (CLAIM NUMBER: 01-001-969010). THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: CAS-24820768. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 44,857.

WHILE DRIVING ON A MAJOR HEADWAY HEADED OUT OF TOWN, MY CAR STARTED TO MAKE EXCESSIVE RATTLES AND NOISES COMING FROM THE ENGINE AREA, WHEN I WOULD COME TO A STOP THE NOISE WAS MUCH LOUDER. I SMELT A SLIGHT BURNT SMELL, AND ALSO NOTICED THE GEARS JUMPING IN AND OUT. I IMMEDIATELY PARKED THE CAR, CALLED FOR HELP AND HAD THE CAR TOWED BACK. I TOOK IT TO TAMIAMI FORD, IN WHICH THEY TOLD ME THE FLEX PLATE IS CRACKED. AND I WOULD NEED A NEEDED A NEW FLEX PLATE, TORQUE, CRANKSHAFT. I HAD ABOUT 69,000 MILES ON THE CAR AT THIS POINT AND THEY SAID THE WARRANTY WAS EXPIRED AND WOULD NOT COVER THIS. THEY CONTACTED HIGHER PEOPLE AND YET STILL WOULD NOT COVER THE ISSUE. NEEDLESS TO SAY I HAD TO PAY FOR IT OUT OF POCKET. BUT AS I SEE MORE AND MORE PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING OF THE SAME ISSUE ON FORUMS. I HAVE ATTACHED PICTURES OF MY CRACKED FLEXPLATE. I HAVE A TOW BILL AND REPAIR BILL BUT NOT ON HAND AT THE MOMENT.

POWER LIFT GATE WILL NOT OPEN SOMETIMES. YOU HAVE TO GO TO THE COMPUTER, DISABLE THE LIFTGATE AND ENABLE THE LIFTGATE. SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO DO IT TWICE. FOUND THE TEMP FIX ON GOOGLE. MY FORD DEALER KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT THE PROBLEM.

WHEN PARKED AND LOCKED, THE REAR HATCH WILL UNLOCK WHEN DRIVER GONE, OR AT NIGHT. REAR HATCH DOOR WILL NOT CLOSE BY ANY SWITCH. A DANGER TO PERSONAL SAFETY AND THEFT.
