2016 Ford Edge complaints

THE RESISTANCE REQUIRED TO STOP THE DOWNWARD MOVEMENT OF THE POWERED LIFT GATE TO TOO GREAT. IF THE GATE WERE TO CLOSE ON A CHILD OR SMALL ANIMAL IT WOULD CAUSE INJURY. GATE WORKS ACCORDING TO FORD SPECS. HOWEVER A SMALL SOFTWARE CHANGE COULD CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I AM A MALE AND IT TAKES SEVERAL POUNDS OF RESISTANCE FOR ME TO CAUSE THE GATE TO REVERSE. MY WIFE CAN NOT STOP THE DOWNWARD MOVEMENT UNLESS SHE IS STANDING UNDER THE GATE. DEALER STATES THAT SEVERAL OWNERS HAVE REPORTED THE PROBLEM. IF THIS ISSUE IS NOT CORRECT SOMEBODY OR ANIMAL ARE GOING TO BE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED.

ADAPTIVE STEERING FAULT SERVICE REQUIRED LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON AND THEN GOES AWAY WHEN SHUT OFF AND STARTED.

ADAPTIVE STEERING ISSUE. LIGHT HAS INTERMITTENTLY CAME ON AND OFF, BUT YESTERDAY THE WHEEL WAS AT 90 DEGREES TO DRIVE STRAIGHT. SEEMS LIKE SAFETY COULD BE AN ISSUE. ESPECIALLY IF YOU WERE AT A LIGHT AND THE STEERING WHEEL WAS STRAIGHT AND YOU SIDE SWIPED THE CAR IN THE NEXT LANE. THIS MORNING THE LIGHT WAS OFF AND I'M CURRENTLY AT THE DEALER HAVE THEM CHECK AND HOPEFULLY RESOLVE THE ISSUE. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FOR MY FAMILY AND I WANT TO ENSURE SAFETY IS NOT AN ISSUE.

MY 2016 FORD EDGE SPORT WITH 8745 MILES ON IT IS EXPERIENCING ADAPTIVE POWER STEERING ISSUES. AT APPROX. 5000 MILES THE WARNING LIGHT STARTING COMING ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY AND AS OF YESTERDAY THE LIGHT IS NOW STEADY AND THE STEERING WHEEL IS NOW NOT ALIGNED WITH THE DIRECTION THE WHEELS ARE POINTED WHILE DRIVING. THIS FEEL UNSAFE AND I CANT GET FORD TO LOOK AT IT UNTIL AUG 23, 2017

MY VEHICLE WAS ACCELERATING ON A STRAIGHT SECTION OF ROAD DURING RUSH HOUR (HAD AT LEAST A HALF TANK OF GAS). I WAS PUSHING NORMALLY ON THE GAS PEDAL TO KEEP MOVING AND SUDDENLY, WITHOUT WARNING, THE CAR DECELERATED AND LOST POWER AS IF I RAN OUT OF GAS. IT CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. NO LIMP MODE, I HAD TO COAST TO A PLACE TO PULL OVER. POWER WAS ON AND ALL COMPONENTS WERE WORKING EXCEPT THERE WAS NO GAS WHEN I PUSHED THE GAS PEDAL. THE WRENCH ICON LIT UP ON THE DASHBOARD. WHEN I TURNED OFF AND THEN RESTARTED THE ENGINE THE GAS PEDAL WORKED SO I PUT IT IN "DRIVE" AND ACCELERATED CAUTIOUSLY. AFTER FIVE MINUTES, I LOST POWER AGAIN, JUST BEFORE ENTERING A MAJOR HIGHWAY. THE SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER COULD HAVE KILLED ME ON A HIGHWAY, OR IN THE MIDDLE OF ANY BUSY INTERSECTION, NOT TO MENTION HARM OTHER DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS. I TOOK IT TO FORD SERVICE THE NEXT DAY AND THEY SAID I HAD A BAD THROTTLE BODY. IT WAS NOT CONTAMINATED, IT JUST FAILED. THEY STATED THAT THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THEY SAW A FAILED THROTTLE BODY IN A 2016 EDGE. (13,000 MILES). MY HUSBAND SAID IT HAPPENED TO HIM ONCE EARLIER THIS YEAR, AND HE IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT FOR ADVICE. HE WAS INSTRUCTED TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND IT SHOULD BE FINE AFTER STARTING IT BACK UP. IT WORKED. THAT MAY BE A SHORT TERM SOLUTION - TO GET HOME. IT IS NOT A SOLUTION TO THIS LIFE THREATENING PROBLEM.

I ENTERED ON TO I-95 INTERSTATE ON RAMP. I LOOKED BACK OVER MY LEFT SHOULDER TO MERGE SAFELY ALONG WITH ACCELERATING AND THE CAR DECELERATED. MY 18 YEAR OLD SON WAS WITH ME AND HE SAID YOU NEED TO ACCELERATE. I TOLD HIM I COULD NOT ACCELERATE. THE DASHBOARD DISPLAYED A WRENCH ICON ALONG WITH A MESSAGE SAYING SEE OWNERS MANUAL. AFTER BARLEY BEING ABLE TO PULL OVER TO SAFETY I SHUT THE ENGINE OFF WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND RESTARTED IT. WE WERE ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR AND GET HOME. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALER THEY SAID IT'S THE THROTTLE BODY. I HAVE A 2016 FORD EDGE WITH 6,400 MILES.

THE INCIDENT HAS HAPPENED FOUR TIMES, SO FAR, TWICE WITHIN TWO MINUTES. DRIVING DOWN A STRAIGHT, FLAT ROAD AND THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN. ACCELERATOR DOES NOT WORK, AIR BAG SENSORS DEACTIVATE, COMPLETE LOSS OF CONTROL. CARS BEHIND HAD TO SWERVE INTO A DITCH TO AVOID HITTING MY CAR BECAUSE THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUTS OFF WITH NO NOTICE, GOING 50 MPH. NOW HAPPENS EVERY TIME I DRIVE VEHICLE FOR LONGER THAN 20-25 MINUTES. HILL START ASSIST NOT AVAILABLE MESSAGE APPEARS AND CAR SHUTS DOWN WITHOUT WARNING TRAVELING AT HIGH SPEEDS. SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT APPEARS AND SERVICE ENGINE NOTIFICATION. AIRBAG SENSOR OFF LIGHT ILLUMINATES. I'VE FOUND THIS HAS BEEN A KNOWN PROBLEM SINCE 2002 AND THERE HAVE BEEN NO RECALLS. THEY ARE STILL MANUFACTURING MALFUNCTIONING ETB IN VEHICLES AND SOMEONE IS GOING TO DIE. THANKFULLY, I WAS NOT ON THE EXPRESSWAY. I HAVE THIS ISSUE DOCUMENTED ON VIDEO, AS IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I DRIVE MY 2016 FORD EDGE.

LEFT A LOCAL BUSINESS HEADING TO ANOTHER BUSINESS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF A FAIRLY BUSY HIGHWAY, WHEN I PULLED OUT IN THE INTERSECTION, CAR LOST ALL POWER. HILL SIDE ASSIST LIGHT CAME ON, WRENCH, CAR WAS RUNNING, BUT YET SEEMED DISENGAGED AS IF IT WERE IN NEUTRAL OR HAD NO POWER GOING TO TRANSMISSION OR WHEELS. WAS ABLE TO COAST TO SIDE OF THE STREET, WHERE I RESTARTED THE CAR ONCE WITH NO CHANGE, SHUT CAR OFF AGAIN AND LEFT A BIT LONGER BEFORE WE STARTING, CAR CRANKED OVER VERY HARD, DID ALLOW ME TO BE ABLE TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY INTO THE GAS STATION, STILL NOT AT THIS POINT RUNNING LIKE IT SHOULD, CONTACTED LOCAL DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPT, AFTER SITTING APPROX 5 PLUS MINS, CAR STARTED, ALL DASH LIGHTS WENT OUT EXCEPT THE ENGINE LIGHT. TOLD TO BRING CAR IN TO BE CHECKED OUT ASAP. FROM WHAT I'VE READ ON LINE THIS SEEMS TO BE A FAIRLY COMMON PROBLEM,BUT A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHEN THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN AND ALL POWER SEEMS TO BE GONE AND YOU COASTING IN BUSY TRAFFIC AREAS TRYING TO GET OUT OF THE OTHER TRAFFICS WAY AND PREVENT A ACCIDENT. VERY UNHAPPY WITH OUR VEHICLE AT THIS POINT, HAVE LOST A LOT OF FAITH IN WHAT I CAN EXPECT, A PERSON, FAMILY COULD EASILY BE KILLED BY THE CAR PERFORMANCE. ALSO HAD A ISSUE WITH MANY DASH LIGHTS COMING ON AFTER CAR HAD BEEN PARKED AT A BUSINESS AND RESTARTED, THIS HAPPENED ON 3/26/17, APPROX 12000 MILES ON CAR. HILLSIDE START ASSIST LIGHT CAME ON, WRENCH, AIRBAG SYMBOL, STABLITY CONTROL, ABS LIGHTS AND STAYED ON OUR WHOLE TRIP

ADAPATIVE STEERING FAULT DURING NORMAL DRIVING. UPON TAKING TO DEALER THEY HAVE ADVISED THIS IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE UNTIL STEERING WHEEL REPLACED. WHEEL IS ON BACK ORDER UNTIL 8/31/2017, THIS WILL BE 7 WEEKS AFTER I TURENED CAR INTO DEALER.

ADAPTIVE STEERING WHEEL FAULT WHILE MAKING SHARP U-TURN OR WHEN TURNING WHILE PARKING. THE MESSAGE APPEARS AND ALSO SOME NOISE AND STEERING WHEEL VIBRATION IS FELT. I'VE FOUND AN INTERNET FORUM WHERE MANY PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. HTTP://WWW.FORDEDGEFORUM.COM/TOPIC/21044-ADAPTIVE-STEERING-FAULT MY CONCERN IT'S VERY DANGEROUS FOR THE CAR OWNER AND SURROUNDING

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT NOTICED AN ABNORMAL EXHAUST ODOR ENTERING THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ISSUE WAS MORE PREVALENT WHILE USING THE AIR CONDITIONING UNIT IN THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING AND SOUGHT MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND ADVISED THE CONTACT TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL DEALER. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,066.

ADAPTIVE STEERING FAULT - INTERMITTENT ISSUE THAT CAUSES STEERING TO FEEL VERY TWITCHY AT HIGHWAY SPEED OR LETHARGIC AT SLOW SPEED. THIS HAS NOW HAPPENED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. CEL IS NOT STORED ON THE COMPUTER, DEALER HAS NO WAY OF REPLICATING THE FAULT UNLESS IT HAPPENS AT THE DEALER. FAULT COMES AND GOES AS IT PLEASES. FAULT NORMALLY HAPPENS AFTER CAR IS PARKED AND TURNED ON AND GOES AWAY AT SOME POINT.

APPROXIMATELY 6000 MILES AFTER PURCHASE OF THE NEW VEHICLE IT BEGAN TO EXPERIENCE INTERMITTENT ADAPTIVE STEERING FAULTS. I COULD FIND NO PATTERN TO THE FAULTS APPEARANCE OR DISAPPEARANCE. THE FORD DEALER ATTEMPTED TO FIX THE ISSUE 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS DURING WHICH TIMES THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF SERVICE FOR AROUND 4 WEEKS. THE TOTAL DURATION OF THE PERIOD BETWEEN WHEN THE FAULT WARNING FIRST APPEARED AND THE PROBLEM WAS OSTENSIBLY FIXED IS CLOSER TO 5 -6 WEEKS. I WAS FORCED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE (DUE TO THE NEED FOR PERSONAL AND WORK RELATED TRANSPORTATION) FOR MUCH OF THAT TIME DURING WHICH PERIOD I WAS VERY CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY. THE FAULT HAS NOT RETURNED SINCE THE LAST REPAIR ATTEMPT WHEN THE DEALER REPLACED THE STEERING WHEEL. HOWEVER SINCE THE FAULT WAS INTERMITTENT I CANNOT BE SURE THAT THE ISSUE WILL RESURFACE AT A LATER DATE. WHEN THE STEERING FAULT FIRST APPEARED I DID SOME RESEARCH AND IT APPEARS THAT THE PROBLEM IS FAIRLY FREQUENT FOR LATE MODEL FORDS THAT HAVE THE SO-CALLED ADAPTIVE STEERING FEATURE. BELOW IS A LINK TO AN EXAMPLE THREAD ON A FORD VEHICLE OWNER'S FORUM WHERE MANY SIMILAR EXPERIENCES ARE RELATED: HTTP://WWW.FORDEDGEFORUM.COM/TOPIC/21044-ADAPTIVE-STEERING-FAULT/ I BELIEVE THIS IS A PROBLEM WORTH INVESTIGATING.

STEERING DEFAULT WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND SIDE WARNING ALARMS STOPPED WORKING WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT AT 70 MPH ON AN EXPRESSWAY

CAR STEERING HARD TO KEEP WHEEL STRAIGHT. TROUBLE LIGHT INDICATES ADAPTIVE STERRING FAULT. THIS SHOULD BE UNDER WARRANTEE, AS THIS IS HAPPENING TO MANY PEOPLE.

ADAPTIVE STEERING FAULT INDICATOR LIGHT. STEERING WHEEL DOES NOT TRACK WITH FRONT WHEELS. DEALER UNABLE TO DETERMINE PROBLEM/FIX. 15000 MILES, THIRD TIME LIGHT CAME ON STEERING WHEEL MOVED ABOUT 30 DEGREES TO THE LEFT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V123000 (AIR BAGS) HOWEVER, THE PART FOR THE RECALL REPAIR WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED ANY FAILURE. THE CONTACT SPOKE WITH THE JACKIE JONES FORD DEALER WHERE IT WAS INFORMED THAT THE CONTACT THAT THEY HAD NO PARTS AND THE REPAIR WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO BE COMPLETED FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

APPROX TWO MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE, AND AGAIN APPROX. SIX MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE, THE STEERING WHEEL TURNED TO THE RIGHT APPROX. 15-30 DEGREES AFTER VEHICLE START ... AS VEHICLE SPEED INCREASED AND DECREASED, THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD MOVE RIGHT AND LEFT ... DURING THIS TIME, THE VEHICLE WOULD MAINTAIN A STRAIGHT TRACK ON THE GROUND ... AFTER TAKING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS WHEELS OUT OF ALIGNMENT ... HOWEVER, THE STEERING WHEEL OFFSET OCCURRED ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE WHEELS WERE ALIGNED FOR BOTH INSTANCES ... AM CERTAIN THAT THIS ISSUE IS RELATED TO THE ADAPTIVE STEERING SYSTEM (2016 FORD EDGE SPORT IS THE FIRST VEHICLE TO GET THIS SYSTEM) ALTHOUGH I DID NOT GET AN ADAPTIVE STEERING SYSTEM FAIL LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD DISPLAY ... THE STEERING WHEEL IS CURRENTLY TURNED TO THE RIGHT APPROX. 30 DEGREES ALTHOUGH THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO DRIVE IN A STRAIGHT LINE ... I'LL BE TAKING THIS VEHICLE TO FORD FOR FURTHER INVESTIGATION BUT, TO DATE, THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM.

PARKED CAR AND SHUT DOWN. UPON STARTING CAR AND DRIVING OFF, THE STEERING WHEEL WAS COCKED 45 DEGREES TO THE LEFT. DEALERSHIP REALIGNED BUT LOCK TO LOCK WAS NOT THE SAME. DEALERSHIP CLAIMED IT WAS STEERING RACK BUT UPON INVESTIGATION DETERMINED ADAPTIVE STEERING PROBLEM. CAR NEEDED MORE THE SEVERAL FULL RESETS BEFORE IT WORKED.

ADAPTIVE STEERING FAULT ERROR MESSAGE. LOUD CLICK UPON TURNING STEERING WHEEL, WHEEL IS NOT CENTERED WHEN DRIVING STRAIGHT. DEALERSHIP STATES NEEDS TO SEE ERROR MESSAGE WHEN IT OCCURS BUT WHEN SHUTTING VEHICLE OFF MESSAGE DISAPPEARS AND SOMETIMES TAKE SEVERAL VEHICLE RESTARTS TO GET STEERING WHEEL TO CENTER

ADAPTIVE STEERING FAULT SERVICING REQUIRED MESSAGE. STEERING WILL IS NOT CENTERED WHEN DRIVING. LOUD CLICK NOISE HAPPENED UPON STEERING. DEALER STATES NEED TO SEE ERRROR MESSAGE BUT ONCE YOU TURN CAR OFF THE ERROR MESSAGE DISAPPEARS AND STEERING WHEEL APPEARS TO RECENTER AFTER RESTARTING CAR SOMETIMES SEVERAL TIMES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE STABILITY CONTROL, ABS, AND EMERGENCY BRAKE WARNING INDICATORS SUDDENLY ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE STALLED AND SHUT OFF. ALSO, THE HORN ERRONEOUSLY SOUNDED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MARSHALL MIZE FORD IN HIXSON, TENNESSEE, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6,212.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LIFTGATE INDEPENDENTLY FELL AND PINNED THE CONTACT BETWEEN IT AND THE VEHICLE FOR A FEW MINUTES. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LIFTGATE WAS ABLE TO BE OPENED AFTER AN ADDITIONAL AMOUNT OF EFFORT WAS EXERTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO NATSEY FORD WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS WORKED AS INTENDED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED MODERATE BRUISING ON THE BACK AND NECK DUE TO THE FORCE OF THE LIFTGATE. MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS REQUIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 3,400. UPDATED 07/19/17*LJ *JS

DRIVING DOWN A STRAIGHT ROAD AT 50 MPH ON HIGHWAY 41 AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT / WRENCH ICON CAME ON AT THE SAME TIME I HAD LOST ALL POWER TO ENGINE. HAD TO COAST TO SIDE OF ROAD THE CAR WOULD NOT GO ANY FASTER THAN 5 MPH. AFTER STOPPING I TURNED OFF ENGINE AND RESTARTED IT AND IT WOULD NOT IDLE UNDER 2500 RPMS. STOP ENGINE AGAIN IT SEEMED TO BE OK THEN BUT STILL COULD NOT DRIVE ANY FASTER THAN 5 MPH. I ENDED UP CALLING A TOW TRUCK. I THOUGHT AT THE TIME THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THE THROTTLE BODY OF THE ENGINE. 1 YEAR OLD FORD WITH 6,287 MILES AND HAD JUST BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR AN OIL CHANGE 2 WEEKS EARLIER. NO RECALL ON IT WAS LISTED PER DEALERSHIP. IF I WAS IN VERY HEAVY TRAFFIC OR RAIN IT COULD OF BEEN REALLY BAD REALLY FAST. THE TOW COMPANY TOWED IT TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY DID SAY IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY AND THEY WOULD FIX IT UNDER WARRANTY. I THOUGHT FORD HAD FIXED ALREADY. ANYWAY PICKUP CAR ON WEDNESDAY 5.31. HOPE IT IT FIXED NOW...

ADAPTIVE STEERING WARNING LIGHT APPEARED, GET SERVICE WHILE DRIVING. CALLED MY DEALER AND WAS ON A ROAD TRIP 700 MILES FROM HOME. WENT TO DEALER IN SOUTH BEND, IN AND WAS TOLD THAT WE NEEDED A NEW STEERING WHEEL ASSEMBLY BUT NOT AVAILABLE UNTIL JULY, WAS TOLD CAR WAS DRIVABLE BUT NUMEROUS WARNING FEATURES THAT HAD WORKED PREVIOUSLY WERE NOT WORKING NOW. NEED TO DRIVE HOME NEXT WEEK AND HAVE MY FINGERS CROSSED.

I BOUGHT THAT SUV ON 12/9/16. ON 17/1/17 I DELIVERED (DEALER) IT FOR REPAIR, I MEAN, TO FUNCTION FOR FIRST TIME THE INTERIOR (SOFFIT) LIGHTS. ON 21/2/17 THEY DELIVERED (TO ME) THE UNIT, AFTER INSTALLED A NEW FUSE BOX (SENT FROM THE MANUFACTURER). ON 4/IX/17 (NIGHT) FROM THE LEFT SIDE OF THE SOFFIT BEGAN TO OUTBURST SMOKE/BURNING SMELL. AT THE END, THE LEFT SIDE OF THE SOFFIT AND THE BASE OF THE SUN PROTECTOR (WITH MIRRIOR) WERE BURNED. NEXT DAY, I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, AND THEY HAVE IT YET. I WROTE A LETTER, WITH COPIES TO THE FORD CEO, VP CUSTOMER AFFAIRS, VP QUALITY CONTROL AND DEALER CEO. LATER I FILE A CLAIM AT THE LOCAL CONSUMER AFFAIRS OFF. THE DEALER TECHNICIAN (IN CHARGE OF REPAIR THE UNIT) SAID "THAT'S AN ELECTRICAL FLAW FROM MANUFACT"

VERY SENSITIVE BREAKS ESPECIALLY NOTICEABLE AT SLOW SPEED, STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, DRIVING IN AND OUT OF DRIVEWAY OR PARKING LOT. CAN BE UNPREDICTABLE/UNEXPECTED AT TIMES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V123000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE UPDATED 06/21/17*LJ UPDATED 10/20/2017*JS THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. UPDATED 10/20/2017*JS

ADAPTIVE STEERING FAULT WARNING LIGHT ON DASH. TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY FOUND NOTHING. TOLD US TO COME BACK IF IT OCCURRED AGAIN. HEARD A COUPLE OF CLICKS WHEN DRIVING STRAIGHT ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE WARNING CAME ON. WHEN WE TURNED THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED, THE WARNING WAS GONE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD EDGE. WHILE STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE ADAPTIVE STEERING FAULT SERVICE REQUIRED INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING SYSTEM NEEDED AN UPDATE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE STEERING WHEEL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, BUT THE PART WAS ON BACK ORDER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,000.

I BOUGHT MY EDGE BRAND NEW IN LATE JULY OF 2016 AND HAD NOT EXPERIENCED ANY PROBLEMS UP UNTIL MARCH OF 2017 (ONE MONTH AGO). WHEN THE "ADAPTIVE STEERING FAULT. SERVICE REQUIRED!" LIGHT FIRST STARTED COMING ON, IT WAS GENERALLY JUST SECONDS AFTER STARTING MY CAR, BUT ALWAYS WHILE I WAS TURNING THE WHEEL. FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS, IT WAS COMING ON AN AVERAGE OF 2 TO 3 TIMES PER WEEK AND IT WOULD TURN OFF WITHIN FIVE OR SO MINUTES OF MY DRIVE. MY SERVICE LIGHT HAS COME ON EVERYDAY NOW FOR THE PAST FIVE DAYS WITHOUT EVEN HAVING TO TURN MY WHEEL. ONCE MY CAR IS STARTED - THE MESSAGE POPS UP. AND RATHER THAN TURNING OFF A FEW MINUTES OR MILES INTO MY DRIVE, IT REMAINS ON FOR THE ENTIRETY OF THE DRIVE. I CALLED TODAY IN HOPES OF GETTING IT SERVICED BUT UNFORTUNATELY CANNOT BE FIT IN FOR AN ENTIRE WEEK. I LEFT A VOICEMAIL WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER TO ENSURE THAT MY CAR WAS SAFE TO DRIVE UNTIL THEN BUT HAVE NOT YET RECEIVED A CALL BACK. FINGERS CROSSED!

REAR (FIXED) WINDOW OF THE PANORAMIC MOON ROOF SPONTANEOUSLY CRACKED IN A JAGGED OVAL SHAPE APPROXIMATELY 1 FOOT IN LENGTH WITHOUT ANY IMPACT OR OTHER VEHICLES NEARBY WHILE DRIVING AT ABOUT 40 MPH. I HAVE READ A FEW OTHER COMPLAINTS WHERE THE GLASS CRACKED AND SHATTERED INTO THE VEHICLE COMPARTMENT UNDER THE SAME OR SIMILAR CIRCUMSTANCES.

I'M EXPERIENCING WHAT MANY, MANY OTHER FORD SUPER DUTY TRUCK OWNERS HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING SINCE ABOUT 2005 COMMONLY KNOWN AS THE "DEATH WOBBLE". AT SPEEDS ABOVE 45 MILES PER HOUR, WHEN THE TRUCK GOES ACROSS A ROUGH (WASHBOARD) BIT OF ROAD OR A BRIDGE JOINT, THE FRONT END SOMETIMES SHAKES VIOLENTLY WHICH ALSO CAUSES THE STEERING WHEEL TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY UNTIL YOU CAN BRING THE VEHICLE TO A STOP, WHICH IS NOT EASY. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, WHICH COULD CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL RESULTING IN INJURY TO PASSENGERS AS WELL AS OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. IN THE RESEARCH I HAVE DONE, IT APPEARS THAT FORD HAS DONE VERY LITTLE TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM FOR CONSUMERS. I HAVE MENTIONED THE PROBLEM TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE TRUCK NEW TWICE NOW AND THEY SAY THEY CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG AND CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM IN A TEST DRIVE. I HAVE ONLY 26,000 MILES ON THE TRUCK AND THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE. HAVE HAD IT ALIGNED TWICE AND TIRES ROTATED REGULARLY. NO UNUSUAL WEAR. MY WIFE REFUSES TO DRIVE THE TRUCK AND I'M NOT TOO EXCITED ABOUT IT MYSELF. WILL IT TAKE INJURIES AND DEATHS TO FORCE FORD INTO ADMITTING THERE IS A PROBLEM AND FIX IT?

ON 4/4/17 MY WIFE WAS DRIVING OUR 2016 FORD EDGE (TITANIUM EDITION) AND WAS TALKING TO ME ON THE PHONE WHEN THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SHOOK, LOST POWER, AND LOST ACCELERATION ABILITY. THE YELLOW WRENCH, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND AIR BAG LIGHT APPEARED AND THE POWER TRAIN FAULT AND HILL CLIMB ASSIST NOT AVAILABLE MESSAGES APPEARED ON THE DISPLAY. MY WIFE WAS ON THE HIGHWAY GOING ABOUT 70MPH WHEN THIS OCCURRED. SHE HAD TO TRY TO COAST OVER TO THE SHOULDER TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD.

ADAPTIVE STEERING FAULT SERVICE REQUIRED DASHBOARD MESSAGE APPEARED WHEN BACKING UP. STEERING IS OFF 90 DEGREES

STARTED WITH INTERMITTENT "ADAPTIVE STEERING FAULT. SERVICE REQUIRED" WARNING WHICH NOW IS CONSTANT. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER (CAPITOL FORD IN SAN JOSE CA) AND THEY TOLD ME THEY HAD NO TIME TO LOOK AT THE PROBLEM NOW AND TO MAKE A SERVICE APPOINTMENT. I CALLED TO MAKE A SERVICE APPOINTMENT ON MARCH 28 2017. THE EARLIEST THEY COULD SEE THE CAR IS MAY 8 2017. SEE THE FORD EDGE FORUM HTTP://WWW.FORDEDGEFORUM.COM/TOPIC/21044-ADAPTIVE-STEERING-FAULT/ FOR DETAILS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. DOES CALIFORNIA HAVE A LEMON LAW TO PROTECT CUSTOMERS THAT BUY FAULTY NEW AUTOMOBILES? I CAN'T BELIEVE I HAVE TO LEAVE THE CAR SET FOR OVER A MONTH TO HAVE FORD SERVICE LOOK AT THE PROBLEM.

PURCHASED VEHICLE IN NOV OF 2016. IN FEB OF 2017 I RECEIVED A MESSAGE ON DASHBOARD THAT MY OIL PRESSURE WAS LOW. AFTER CHECKING OIL WE DISCOVERED IT WAS 3 QUARTS LOW. THOUGH MAYBE IT WAS NOT FILLED ALL THE WAY BY THE DEALER. ON MARCH 27TH WE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE AGAIN THE OIL WAS 3 QTS LOW. ON MARCH 28TH THE DEALER CALLED TO SAY THAT THEY HAD A MEMO FROM FORD STATING SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THE ENGINE AND THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE ENGINE! (NOW THAT'S SCARRY) ALSO RECEIVED IN THE MAIL THAT THERE IS A COMPLIANCE RECALL CALL 17C02 FOR AIRBAGS. IN SPECIFIC THE DRIVERS AIRBAG. PARTS FOR THIS RECALL WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL LATE SECOND QUARTER 2017. I FEEL THIS VEHICLE IS A DISASTER, NOT SAFE, AFRAID TO DRIVE AND THAT FORD SHOULD JUST GIVE ME A NEW ONE!! VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH FORD. WE ARE FORD CAR BUYERS AND HAVE BEEN FOR AT LEAST 20 YRS.

THE ADAPTIVE STEERING WARNING LIGHT HAS CAME ON TWO TIMES IN TWO WEEKS. I HAVE LESS THEN 2500 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. THIS CAME ON BOTH TIMES AS I WAS MAKING A TURN.

ISSUE: LATCH ON DRIVER'S DOOR BROKE. THE EVENTS DESCRIBED BELOW TOOK PLACE OVER A 3-DAY TIME FRAME (03/18/2017 - 03/20/2017). ON SAT., 03/18/2017, I DROVE THE VEHICLE TO A SHOPPING DESTINATION AND THE DRIVER'S DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN. I HAD TO CLIMB OVER FRONT CONSOLE TO EXIT THE CAR VIA THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR. TO DRIVE BACK HOME, I HAD TO ENTER THE VEHICLE VIA THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR AND AGAIN CLIMB OVER THE FRONT CONSOLE. AFTER SEVERAL HOURS, THE DOOR WAS OPENED AND ALL WAS PRESUMED TO BE OK. HOWEVER, THE NEXT DAY (SUN., 03/19/2017), THE DRIVER'S DOOR FLEW OPEN WHILE THE CAR WAS EXITING THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 45 MPH. I PULLED OVER AND STRAINED TO PULL THE DOOR IN. HOWEVER, THE LATCH WOULD NOT CATCH AND CLOSE. WHILE MANEUVERING THE VEHICLE, THE DRIVER DROVE HOME VERY SLOWLY PULLING IN AND HOLDING THE CAR DOOR. THE VEHICLE SAT UNSECURED OVERNIGHT UNTIL IT COULD BE TAKEN TO FOR REPAIR. THIS PROBLEM PRESENTED A HIGH LEVEL OF DANGER FOR ME, OTHER VEHICLES/DRIVERS/PASSENGERS, AND POSSIBLY PEDESTRIANS/PROPERTIES. THE AFFECTED VEHICLE HAS A LITTLE OVER 3,500 MILES LOGGED AND IS UNDER YEAR ONE OF A THREE YEAR LEASE. AS THIS REPORT IS BEING TYPED (MON., 03/20/2017), THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT THE LOCAL FORD DEALER IS ASSESSING THE PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE CO-OWNER HAS ALREADY BEEN INFORMED THAT PARTS AND LABOR COSTS TO FIX THE ISSUE ARE NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY; WILL COST HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TO REPAIR; TAKE A WEEK TO COMPLETE; AND, A LOANER CAR IS NOT AVAILABLE. AFTER BEING LOYAL FORD

WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOP RANDOMLY WHILE BEING USED OR WHEN TURNING THEM ON. MOVING THE LEVER UP AND DOWN ON THE STEERING WHEEL SOMETIMES GETS THEM WORKING AGAIN. OTHER TIMES THE CAR HAS TO BE TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED.

MY FORD EDGE HAD A SUDDEN DECELERATION AND A DANGEROUS LOSS OF POWER IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY CITY INTERSECTION CAUSING ONCOMING TRAFFIC TO COME TO A HALT. THE SUV IS NOW CAUSING A TRAFFIC JAM WITH MY FAMILY LOOKING AT ON COMING TRAFFIC. THANK GOODNESS WE DID NOT HAVE AN ACCIDENT. RIGHT AFTER THAT EPISODE, THE TRANSMISSION JERKED SO HARD WE BOUNCED FORWARD AND BACKWARDS IN OUR SEATS. AGAIN, THE CAR HAD A LOSS OF POWER. SINCE THAT TIME, MY FORD EDGE EXPERIENCED TWO OTHER EPISODES. FORD MARKETED AND SOLD THIS VEHICLE AS NEW WITH A DEFECTIVE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY CONTROL. HOW DO I KNOW THAT? WHEN I TOOK THE CAR TO BOB TOMES FORD DEALERSHIP, I WAS TOLD THE THROTTLE BODY CONTROL HAD BEEN REPLACED AT 1000 MILES. THEY SOLD THE CAR AS A NEW VEHICLE OFF THE LOT WITHOUT REVEALING IT HAD BEEN DRIVEN AS A DEMO VEHICLE. WE BOUGHT THE CAR WITH 1800 MILES THINKING IT HAD BEEN ON THE LOT FOR LONG PERIOD OF TIME AND DRIVEN FROM ANOTHER DEALERSHIP. FORD OWES THE CONSUMER AN ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN ABOUT HE DANGERS OF SUDDEN UNINTENDED DECELERATION AND EDUCATE CONSUMERS ABOUT THEIR PRE-PURCHASE LEGAL RIGHTS ONCE FACTS ARE KNOWN. THOUSANDS OF OWNERS ARE IN DANGER BECAUSE FORD REFUSES TO ACT MORALLY AND CHOOSING PROFIT BEFORE RESPONSIBILITY.

ADAPTIVE STEERING FAULT! WARNING LIGHT IS INTERMITTENT BUT COMES ON WHILE DRIVING. FIRST OCCURRENCE WAS BEFORE OCTOBER 16, 2016. MILEAGE WAS LESS THAN 3000 MILES ON ODOMETER. NOW AT 7000+ MILES BUT LIGHT COMES ON RANDOMLY WITH WARNING TO SEE DEALER IMMEDIATELY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD EDGE. AFTER RESTARTING THE VEHICLE, THE POWER STEERING MALFUNCTIONED AND CAUSED THE STEERING WHEEL TO BECOME VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. WHILE AT THE DEALER, THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND THE STEERING OPERATED AS NORMAL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 11,000.

MY FORD EDGE WAS PURCHASED NEW IN AUGUST 2016. I AM STARTING TO RECEIVE THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE ON THE DASHBOARD INTERMITTENTLY, "ADAPTIVE STEERING FAULT SERVICE REQUIRED" (SOLID YELLOW WARNING). WARNING APPEARS AT VARIOUS TIMES, WHEN I FIRST START UP, WHILE I AM DRIVING AND ALSO JUST BEFORE I SHUT DOWN.

I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING LOT AND THE ENGINE STALLED. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE ENGINE

ADAPTIVE STEERING SYSTEM FAILURE, WHILE CAR MOVING ON HIGHWAY. CURRENTLY INOPERABLE WHILE FORD HAS PARTS SHIPPED FROM GERMANY. REPEAT PROBLEM-RETURN TO DEALER THREE TIMES. FORD DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX AS OF THIS DATE.

WHILE BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVE THIS MORNING, ADAPTIVE STEERING WARNING LIGHT CAME ON . THIS IS A 2016 EDGE SPORT WITH 6600 MILES ON IT, PURCHASED IN JULY 2016.

UNDER HARD ACCELERATION THERE IS STRONG SMELL IN THE CABIN THAT SMELLS LIKE SULFUR IT HAS GOTTEN SO BAD THAT I HAVE TO DRIVE WITH MY WINDOWS OPEN AND I CARRY A CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTOR BECAUSE I'M WORRIED ABOUT THE FUMES BEING TOXIC. I DO A LOT OF HIGHWAY DRIVING SO MOST OF THE TIMES IT OCCURS ON THE HIGHWAY IT ALSO HAPPEN IN CITY DRIVING FROM FULL STOP.

STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT IN 2016 FORD EDGE. WHEN LIGHT TURNED GREEN, ATTEMPTED TO MAKE LEFT TURN. VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE THROUGH THE INTERSECTION AND APPEARED TO STALL. TURNED VEHICLE OFF, RESTARTED AND AGAIN VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. WITH VEHICLE BARELY MOVING, WAS ABLE TO GET OUT OF WAY OF THREE LANES OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC BUT NOW STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. WHEN TRAFFIC CLEARED, WAS ABLE TO MAKE LEFT TURN AND CRAWLED AT ABOUT 2-3MPH WITH HAZARD LIGHTS ON. AT THIS TIME, WRENCH YELLOW WARNING LIGHT WAS DISPLAYED. DROVE AT THAT EXTREMELY SLOW SPEED UNTIL REACHED THE LEFT TURN LANE AT THE NEXT INTERSECTION WHERE COULD SAFELY PULL OVER AND PARK. TRIED SEVERAL TIMES TO RESTART BUT CONTINUED TO RECEIVE WRENCH WARNING LIGHT. THAT WAS THEN REPLACED WITH A CHECK ENGINE YELLOW WARNING LIGHT. VEHICLE WOULD STILL NOT ACCELERATE. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO DEALER. AN EEC TEST WAS RUN AND HAD CODE P2111. THE THROTTLE BODY WAS REPLACED WITH PART AT4Z-9E926-B. THIS WAS UNDER WARRANTY SINCE JUST 17,276 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. IT IS UNNERVING WHEN GAS PEDAL COULD BE PUSHED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND STILL BARELY MOVE. THIS INCIDENT WAS VERY SCARY AND FORTUNATE VEHICLE WAS NOT HIT AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES.

CAR HAS DIED MULTIPLE TIMES AT HIGH RATE OF SPEED. DEALER SAYS NO CODES THROWN. USED 3 QUARTS OIL BEFORE 5000 MILES. EXHAUST SMOKED HORRIBLY. DECELERATION ISSUES CONSTANTLY. LAST TIME IT DIED ON FREEWAY DEALER SAID THROWING CODES AND ENGINE NEEDS REPLACING. THEY HAVE HAD VEHICLE SINCE DECEMBER 14 2016. THEY TRIED TO REPLACE HEADS AND IT BLEW UP ENGINE. CAR HAS LESS THAN 9000 MILES. VEHICLE DIED MULTIPLE TIMES ON FREEWAY. DECELERATION ISSUES OCCURRED BOTH FROM FULL STOP AND ACCELERATION ON FREEWAY ENTRANCE RAMP. VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN SHOP 3-4 TIMES SINCE PURCHASED IN LATE AUGUST 2016.
