THE TAIL LIGHT REFLECTOR HAS MAJOR CONDENSATION PROBLEMS. THIS PROBLEM IS CAUSING WATER TO SIT AND OVER TIME ALGAE HAS FORMED. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM AMONG 2015-2018 FORD EDGE MODELS. THIS CAN BE A SAFETY ISSUE ONCE ALGAE HAS FORMED DUE TO THE LACK OF VISIBILITY OF REVERSE TAIL LIGHTS BEING SEEN.
WHILE DRIVING AN ALERT CAME ON THAT STATED THE STEERING ASSIST NEEDED SERVICE. I CONTINUED DRIVING AS I WAS IN A REMOTE AREA WITH NO FORD DEALERSHIP CLOSE BY. THE STEERING SEEMED A BIT "LOOSE" BUT THE VEHICLE WAS OPERABLE. I PARKED THE VEHICLE ONCE I ARRIVED AT MY DESTINATION WITH PLANS TO BRING IT TO MY DEALERSHIP WHEN I RETURNED FROM MY TRIP. I STARTED THE VEHICLE A FEW DAYS LATER AND THE DISPLAY SHOWED "STEERING LOSS STOP SAFELY", "SERVICE ADVANCETRAC" AND "HILL START ASSIST NOT AVAILABLE" THE VEHICLE COULD NOT BE STEERED AND HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP.
THE REAR GLASS PANEL IN THE PANORAMIC SUNROOF HAS SPIDER CRACKS THROUGHOUT. THE CAR IS NORMALLY PARKED IN A COVERED AREA. I HAD THE SUNROOF OPEN TWO WEEKS AGO AND THERE WERE NO CRACKS AT THAT TIME. THE CRACKS HAPPENED WITHIN THE LAST TWO WEEKS. THE CAR WAS STATIONARY WHEN THE PROBLEM WAS IDENTIFIED. THIS WAS NOT CAUSED BY ANY IMPACT. I BELIEVE IT IS AN INHERENT MANUFACTURER DEFECT. I CONTACTED THE DEALER WHO SAID THE REPAIR WILL CAUSE AT LEAST $1300 AND THAT IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THE CAR IS A 2017 FORD EDGE WITH 40K MILES AND HAS A 100K MILE FORD PREMIUM CARE WARRANTY.
THIS VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT WHEN ANOTHER VEHICLE CROSSED ITS PATH GOING THE WRONG WAY ON A ONE WAY STREET. THIS FORD EDGE STRUCK THE FORD F150 BROADSIDE AT APPROXIMATELY 30+ MPH AT ABOUT A 20 DEGREE ANGLE DRIVERS SIDE HOOD AND FENDER AND WINDSHIELD BROKEN. THE STEERING WHEEL AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY, AND THE KNEE BOLSTER DID NOT DEPLOY FULLY. THIS CAUSED SERIOUS INJURIES TO THE DRIVER.
CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. A WRENCH ALSO CAME ON. HAD IT PUT ON A DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE WITH A READ OUT OF "TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH SOLENOID CIRCUIT PERFORMANCE OR STUCK OFF." MY CAR HAS APPROXIMATELY 67,000 MILES ON IT.
MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND WHEN WE ATTEMPTED TO REPAIR THE INJECTORS AS IT STATED WITH THE ERROR CODE, IT DIDN'T WORK, THEN I STARTED LOSING COOLANT AND WE TOOK THE CAR INTO FORD. FORD NOW TELLS ME THE MOTOR IS BAD AND I NEED TO HAVE IT REPLACED AND IT WILL COST $7600!
GLASS PANORAMIC MOON ROOF HAS SPIDER CRACKS THROUGHOUT. THIS WAS NOT CAUSED BY ANY IMPACT. THIS IS AN INHERENT MANUFACTURER DEFECT.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MOUNTAIN FORD INC (100 SLOPE ST, BRYSON CITY, NC 28713, 828-488-6999) WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT COOLANT WAS SEEPING INTO THE CYLINDER. DUE TO THE DEFECT, THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT WAS GIVEN A QUOTE OF $7,000 FOR THE COST OF LABOR AND REPAIRS BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE AND COOLANT OVER TEMPERATURE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LEN STOLER FORD (410-356-7000, LOCATED AT 11275 REISTERSTOWN RD, OWINGS MILLS, MD 21117) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE TECHNICIAN ALSO STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS A KNOWN ISSUE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD BE KEPT AT THE SHOP FOR TWO TO THREE WEEKS DUE TO A BACK UP OF WORK. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE CONTACT WAS NOT PROVIDED A LOANER VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.
CRACKED SUN ROOF. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE STEERING DISENGAGED AND THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME VERY LOOSE WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO FEEL THE DIFFERENCE WHEN THE STEERING RE-ENGAGED. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED ABOUT OVER STEERING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SAN LEANDRO FORD STORE (LOCATED AT 1111 MARINA BLVD, SAN LEANDRO, CA 94577, (510) 352-2000) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE MANUFACTURER DID NOT ALLOW THE SERVICE TECHNICIANS TO ADJUST THE STEERING WHEEL. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS SOME CALIBRATION MADE TO THE STEERING WHEEL. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,999. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.
OUR 2017 FORD EDGE EXPERIENCED CATASTROPHIC TRANSMISSION FAILURE WHILE DRIVING - WITH ABSOLUTELY NO ADVANCE WARNING. THE TORQUE CONVERTER FELL APART AND THE VEHICLE WENT FROM DRIVING AT SPEED TO LOSING ALL MOMENTUM. IF WE HAD BEEN IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, SOMEONE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. FORD HAS IDENTIFIED THIS ISSUE WITH 2017 FORD EDGE VEHICLES. THERE WAS A RECALL IN 2017 FOR THIS PROBLEM FOR VEHICLES BUILT DURING THE TIME PERIOD THAT OURS WAS BUILT, BUT ACCORDING TO FORD, OURS WAS NOT INVOLVED IN THAT RECALL (NHSTA ID #18V390000). IN 2018, FORD ADDED A RECALL ON 25 ADDITIONAL VEHICLES BECAUSE THEY FOUND THAT MORE DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSIONS HAD BEEN INSTALLED THAN INITIALLY THOUGHT (NHSTA ID#17V427000). OURS WAS ALSO NOT ONE OF THOSE IDENTIFIED. OUR VEHICLE HAD 67,032 MILES WHEN THE TORQUE CONVERTER FAILED IN EXACTLY THE FASHION DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL. FORD REFUSED TO COVER THE REPAIR AS THE VEHICLE WAS PAST THE WARRANTY MILEAGE AND FORD WANTED CLOSE TO $5,000 TO REPAIR THE TRANSMISSION ON THIS TWO YEAR OLD VEHICLE. I AM CERTAIN THAT THIS ISSUE IS THE EXACT ISSUE THAT AFFECTED VEHICLES MANUFACTURED DURING THE SAME TIME FRAME WITH EXACTLY THE SAME TRANSMISSION. THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THE DEALERSHIP I WAS TOWED TO AGREED THAT I HAD THE EXACT SAME ISSUE AS WAS IDENTIFIED, BUT TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO TO ESCALATE THE CONCERNS I HAD. I AM CONVINCED THAT FORD IS DOWNPLAYING THE NUMBER OF VEHICLES AFFECTED AND AM CERTAIN THAT THIS WILL IMPACT MORE 2017 FORD EDGE VEHICLES. I H
NOTHING HAS 'HAPPENED' YET, BUT ACCORDING TO REPORTS, THE TAKATA AIRBAGS ARE FAULTY.I WOULD LIKE THEM REPAIRED/REPLACED!
CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. MULTIPLE MISFIRES WHILE STATIONARY AND WHILE DRIVING. CODES READ P0302-MISFIRE ON CYLINDER 2 AND P0316- OASIS FOUND TSB. REPLACED ALL SPARK PLUGS AND CYLINDER 2. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT OFF AND TURNED BACK ON THE NEXT DAY AND READ THE SAME CODES. FORD SAYS THIS WAS FROM A DESIGN FLAW BUT HASN'T BEEN RECALLED, BUT THE NEW MOTORS HAVE BEEN REDESIGNED. I WOULD HAVE TO PURCHASE A NEW LONG BLOCK AND SERVICE FOR $7000 WHEN THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED DUE TO HOW MANY IT HAS AFFECTED.
VERY LOUD NOISE WHEN DRIVING. IN THE DEALER GARAGE FOR A MONTH. TRANSMISSION ISSUES I THINK IT WHAT THEY ARE SAYING.
WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. READ,'TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH CIRCUIT PERFORMANCE OR STUCK OFF.'
HI I AM THE OWNER OF A 2017 FORD EDGE FWD LAST WEEK ON THE 1MAY 2019 WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY 400 IN WOODBRIDGE ONTARIO EXITING THE RAMP TO LANGSTAFF RD I APPLIED THE BRAKES BUT THE BRAKES FAILED TO STOP I APPLIED THE EMERGENCY BRAKES AND DROVE ABOUT A MILE TO MY HOME ADDRESS WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY I NOTICED SOME OIL UNDER NEATH THE CAR ENGINE THE NEXT DAY I TOWED THE VEHICLE TO THE FORD DEALER IN WOODBRIDGE AND AFTER IS WAS EXAMINED BY THEM I WAS ADVISED THAT BOTH FRONT BRAKE FLEX HOUSE WERE BROKEN LEAKING OIL. I WAS TOLD THAT THE PARTS WERE BACK ORDER AND THE DEALER HAD THE CAR AND THE REPAIRS UNDER THE WARRANTY WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS AT DEALER I WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED BACK BRAKES ALSO. I DECLINED THE SERVICE TODAY THE 10 MAY 2019 I HAD THE REAR BRAKES REPLACED BY MY OWN MECHANIC AND WHILE HE WAS A XEMINING THE BRAKE LINES HE NOTICED THE REAR LEFT SIDE HAD AN AIR BUILD AN AIR BIBLE IN THE LINE, WHICH HE STATED THAT THE BRAKES WILL FAIL SOON BECAUSE THE BRAKE LINE IS RUBBER I CALLED THE DEALER AND TOLD THEM ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND I WAS ADVISED THAT THIS IS NOT A WARRANTY DEFECT I NEED TO WAIT TILL THE BRAKE LINES BURST COMPLETELY FOR THEM TO REPLACE IT I TOLD THEM THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUED AND WAS TOLD TO BRING IT IN NEXT THURSDAY THE THE 16 MAY 2019 FOR THEM TO LOOK AT IT I AM PUZZLED BY THIS SYSTEM THAT THE WARRANTY OR THE DEALER PLAY WITH PEOPLE LIFE'S WITH SAFETY MY INVOICE FROM THE FRONT BRAKES REPAIR IS [XXX] REPAIRED AT PINE TREE FORD LINCOLN IN WOOD
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE LEXINGTON PARK FORD LINCOLN DEALER (301-863-8111, 21575 GREAT MILLS RD, LEXINGTON PARK, MD 20653) WHERE THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE LEONARDTOWN FORD DEALER (301-475-3111, 26322 POINT LOOKOUT RD, LEONARDTOWN, MD 20650) WHERE THE TECHNICIAN PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND REPLACED THE BATTERY BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE BATTERY WAS CHANGED TWO TIMES WITHIN THE YEAR. THE FAILURE WAS NOT REMEDIED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO THE NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,114. *BF CONSUMER STATED FAILURE STILL NOT REMEDIED.*JB
AT LESS THAN 40,000 MILES THE CAR STARTED MAKING A VERY LOAD RATTLING NOISE WHEN IDLING. THE NEXT DAY I TOOK IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP. 5 DAYS LATER THEY SAID IT WAS A CRACKED FLYWHEEL CAUSED BY AN ISSUE WITH THE TORQUE CONVERTER.
POWER LIFTGATE CAME DOWN WHILE STATIONARY UNLOADING GROCERIES STRIKING MY GIRLFRIEND IN THE HEAD.
MILEAGE DOES NOT MEET THE FUEL ECONOMY AND ENVIRONMENT RANGE STATED ON THE WINDOW STICKER AND VEHICLE DESCRIPTION WHEN THE CAR WAS PURCHASED. MY CAR IS A 2017 FORD EDGE SEL AWD WITH THE TWIN-SCRL 2.0L ECOBOOST ENGINE AND AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. THE WINDOW STICKER STATES MPG TO BE 20 IN THE CITY AND 27 ON THE HIGHWAY AND 23 COMBINED CITY/HWY. CURRENTLY THE MPG SHOWN IN THE DASHBOARD IS 15 TO 16 COMBINED CITY/HWY WHICH SEEMS TO BE CONSISTENT FROM THE DAY I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. I HAVE MENTIONED THIS TO A FORD CAR DEALER REPRESENTATIVE AND THE RESPONSE IS THAT I HAVE AN AWD RATHER THAN FRONT WHEEL DRIVE. I ALSO HAVE A 2015 FORD EDGE WITH THE SAME ENGINE AND THE MPG FALLS WITHIN AND OFTEN EXCEEDS THE MPG STATED ON THE WINDOW STICKER. WHETHER OR NOT THE AWD GETS LESS MPG THAT A FWD GETS IS NOT MY COMPLAINT. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT THE ACTUAL MPG FOR MY AWD FORD EDGE SHOULD BE WITHIN THE RANGE OF WHAT THE WINDOW STICKER REPRESENTS, I.E. 20 CITY, 27 HIGHWAY, AND 23 OVERALL. I HAVE ACCUMULATED APPROXIMATELY 13,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE SO FAR WITH NO IMPROVEMENT IN MPG. I'M RETIRED AND DRIVE CONSERVATIVELY COASTING TO A STOP AS OFTEN AS I CAN AND ACCELERATING IN A VERY MODEST MANNER. I ALSO THE DRIVE THE 2015 FORD EDGE IN A SIMILAR MANNER BUT GET MPG THAT MEETS OR EXCEEDS THE STICKER STATED MPG. OTHERWISE THE 2017 FORD EDGE RUNS SMOOTHLY FROM WHAT I CAN TELL. CAN I GET SOME CONSIDERATION FOR THIS MISREPRESENTATION OF MPG FROM FORD?
CENTER LED LIGHT PANEL ON EXTERIOR LIFT GATE DEVELOPED CONDENSATION INSIDE WHICH HAS ACCUMULATED TO VISIBLE POOLS ON EACH SIDE OF THE LIGHT STRIP. WORRIED COULD CAUSE IT TO SHORT OUT WHICH COULD PUT VEHICLE AT RISK OR BEING STRUCK OR REAR ENDED WHEN BRAKING OR WHEN STOPPED DUE TO LACK OF VISIBILITY.
TODAY, I NOTICED WAVY CRACKS THROUGHOUT MY REAR SUNROOF (AS I WALKED OUT TO MY STATIONARY PARKED CAR). THEY ARE ALL OVER THE PLACE. I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY TRAUMA TO THE ROOF. I GOOGLED THESE CRACKS AND THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS FROM FORD OWNERS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUES. SOME OWNERS HAVE REPLACED THEIR SUNROOFS 3 AND 4 TIMES OVER. IT IS OBVIOUS THE GLASS IS DEFECTIVE. THERE ARE MULTIPLE MENTIONS OF A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. THE CRACKS ARE A SAFETY CONCERN CONSIDERING THEY MAY CRACK FURTHER AND FALL INTO THE BACK SEAT ON PASSENGERS. I AM TAKING IT IN TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED IT TOMORROW.
WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE BOTH MYSELF AND MY WIFE BECAME VERY LIGHT HEADED AND THAT WAS FOLLOWED BY AN EXTREME HEADACHE AND NAUSEA. HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO LOCAL DEALERSHIP THEY PROCEEDED TO DO A TSB THAT NEEDED TO BE DONE AND UPDATED THE COMPUTER. WE TOOK VEHICLE BACK DROVE IT AND HAD SAME PROBLEM. RETURNED IT TO DEALER AND EXPLAINED THAT THERE WAS NO DIFFERENCE AND TO PLEASE TAKE ANOTHER LOOK STATING THAT THIS HAPPENED AFTER ABOUT 30 MIN OF DRIVING. THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE CONCERN SPOKE WITH FORD CUSTOMER CARE THEY OPENED A CASE ON THIS AND HELPED GET THE VEHICLE LOOKED AT ORIGINAL DEALER VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED AT. SAID DEALER IS 1HR 40MIN AWAY FROM WHERE WE LIVE SO ONCE AGAIN HAD IT TOWED AT OUR EXPENSE THEY CHECKED ALL THAT WAS DONE PRIOR AND DID THERE OWN TESTING AND ALSO COULD NOT REPLICATE PROBLEM AT THIS POINT BECAUSE BEING AFRAID THAT ONE OF US MIGHT PASS OUT WHILE DRIVING THIS BECOMES A BIG LIABILITY THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE AND IF THE TESTERS ARE NOT SENSITIVE ENOUGH THEY NEED TO LOOK INTO BETTER WAYS TO TEST THERE VEHICLE THERE IS ONLY 22600 MILES AT THIS TIME ON OUR FORD EDGE 2017 NOT SURE IF EXHAUST OR SOME OTHER GAS OR CHEMICAL IS GETTING INTO THE CABIN BUT WHAT EVER IT IS IT MAKES YOU VERY LIGHT HEADED AND THE FORD COMPANY WILL NOT ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM THE EDGE IS VERY SIMILAR TO THE EXPLORER IN MANY WAYS AND SHOULD BE LOOKED AT THE SAME WAY THE EXPLORER WAS CHECKED OUT WHEN THEY FOUND THE PROBLEMS WITH EXHAUST GETTING INTO THE CABIN AREA BOTH POLICE AND
CRACK IN VISTA PANARAMIC FOR NO KNOWN REASON. WENT OUT TO MY CAR THIS MORNING TO FIND A LARGE CRACK IN THE ROOF.
I HAVE RETURNED THE VEHICLE TWICE FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. I WILL BE STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AND THE SCREEN SHOWS FOR ME TO "PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND RESTART THE ENGINE". THE FIRST AND SECOND RETURN WAS AT STIVERS FORD MONTGOMERY AL. THE FIRST RETURN TIME WAS ABOUT AN HOUR AND THEY STATED THAT THEY RESET THE COMPUTER. THE SECOND RETURN WAS APPROXIMATELY 2 WEEKS. THEY ISSUED ME A LOANER AT NO CHARGE, AND SAID THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED. THEY SUGGESTED THAT I COULD MANUALLY TURN OFF THE FEATURE THAT POWERS DOWN THE VEHICLE. I WILL BE RETURNING TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE 3RD TIME ON 1/18/19 FOR SAME PROBLEM. I AM CONCERNED THAT EITHER THIS IS A RECALL ISSUE OR DEALERSHIP IS UNAWARE OF HOW TO REPAIR.
THIS TIME THE CHECK ENGINE AND WRENCH LIGHT WENT OFF WHILE DRIVING. IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR 3 WEEKS. SOLENOID, COMPUTER, TORQUE CONVERTER. STILL NOT BACK. HAS A RATTLING SOUND IN THE DASH
LIVING IN COLORADO IT GET VERY COLD AT TIMES. A GAP AT THE FRONT EDGE OF THE REAR WHEEL WELL OPENING ALLOWS MELTED SNOW OR ICE TO GET INTO THE AREA AND UNDER THE REAR DOORS. THE LIQUID RE-FREEZES AND SEALS THE DOOR SHUT. IT CAN NOT BE OPENED. PUTTING HEAT LAMPS NEAR THE TWO AREAS (BOTH SIDES) TOOK OVER AN HOUR TO THAW THE ICE AND ALLOW THE DOOR(S) TO OPEN. #2 BRAKES SQUEAK WHEN BACKING UP - REPORTED TO DEALER SEVERAL TIME AND BRAKES WERE CHECKED - WORST AGAIN IN COOL WEATHER. I MAY NOT SEEM LIKE A BIG DEAL TO HAVE THE REAR DOORS FREEZE SHUT BUT IT IS POTENTIALLY VERY SERIOUS IF THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE EXITED IN A HURRY IN AN EMERGENCY.
HEADLIGHTS ARE INADEQUATE. THEY ARE TOO DARK FOR NIGHT DRIVING. THEY DO NOT ADEQUATELY AND SAFETY ILLUMINATE THE ROAD. AUTONATION FORD IN ST PETERSBURG, FL DOES NOT ADMIT THE PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH THE PROBLEM IS WELL KNOWN AND IS WELL DOCUMENTED.
ON A HIGHWAY DRIVING 65 MPH AND VEHICLE SHUT OFF. DASHBOARD WAS DARK YET FLASHED 'TRANS NOT IN PARK'... ASSUMING I HIT THE START BUTTON BY ACCIDENT WHILE ADJUSTING MY VENT. I HAD TO CRUISE TO A COMPLETE STOP (ON A BUSY HIGHWAY WITH NO SHOULDER TO PULL OVER DURING RUSH HOUR) SINCE BRAKES DIDN'T EVEN WORK AND RESTARTED VEHICLE ONCE IT CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND I COULD HIT THE BREAK. I TESTED IT LATER ON THAT DAY AND WHILE DRIVING IN A SAFE PARKING LOT, I HIT THE START BUTTON AS I WAS DRIVING 20 MPH AND IT INDEED SHUT OFF. THERE IS AN OBVIOUS GLITCH WHERE THE START BUTTON DOES NOT DISENGAGE WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN DRIVE AS IT SHOULD. MY EDGE HAD 5000 MILES ON IT AND I REPORTED IT TO MY FORD SALES PERSON- HE HAS YET TO GET BACK TO ME. HUGE SAFETY ISSUE FORD THAT MUST BE ADDRESSED.
THE WINDSHIELD CRACKED FROM A-PILLAR TO A-PILLAR POSSIBLY DUE TO MISSING SPOT WELDS IN THAT AREA. THERE ARE NO STONE CHIPS VISIBLE IN THE WINDOW AT ALL. THE WINDOW CRACKS WHILE DRIVING.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V427000 (POWER TRAIN). WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND AN UNKNOWN WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND RESTARTED. THE CONTACT CALLED CROSSROADS FORD OF CARY AT 919-335-4612 (LOCATED AT 2333 WALNUT ST, CARY, NC 27518) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND WAS NOT ABLE TO CONFIRM WHEN THE PARTS WERE TO BECOME AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 10,000. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.
"TAKATA RECALL" I HAVE A SLIT ON MY PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG.I JUST NOTICED IT ONE DAY GETTING IN MY CAR.I TOOK IT TO OXMOOR FORD SEVERAL TIMES,THEY TOOK PICTURES AND FINALLY CALLED ME BACK AFTER SEVERAL TIMES BEING THERE AND SAID THEY WERE NOT GOING TO FIX IT.
BRAKES SQUEAK UPON INITIAL DRIVE AND ENGINE HAS A RATTLING NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT PASSENGER AREA DURING START UP.
TAKATA RECALL
10/13/2018 - AT 28,500 MILES. NOTICED JUST YESTERDAY WHEN OPENING PANORAMIC SUNROOF CURTAIN IN DRIVEWAY, WHAT LOOKED LIKE A LARGE PUDDLE OF WATER ON SUNROOF WHILE PARKED. WAS NOT THERE THE DAY BEFORE. CHECKED IT AND SURE ENOUGH, IT IS A LARGE CRACK ACROSS THE SUNROOF. EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED TO FIND. WILL BE CONTACTING LOCAL AUTONATION DEALERSHIP TO DISCUSS REPAIR. IT HAD BETTER BE UNDER WARRANTY. I'VE ONLY OWNED THE VEHICLE FOR SIX MONTHS. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE.
THE VEHICLE'S ENGINE HAS STALLED OVER A COUPLE OF DOZEN TIMES SINCE PURCHASING BRAND NEW A YEAR AGO. IT USUALLY STALLS A COUPLE OF SECONDS AFTER STARTING. TWO TIMES IT HAS STALLED WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THIS CAN POTENTIALLY BE VERY DANGEROUS. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO TWO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS FOR A COMBINED FOUR TIMES FOR THIS ISSUE. THEY CLAIM TO NOT BE ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE ISSUE SO NOTHING CAN BE FIXED. THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED 8 OR 9 TIMES IN THE PAST WEEK ALONE.
THE REAR LIFT GATE LATCH ON OUR VEHICLE IS UNSAFE. THERE IS NO METHOD OF UNLOCKING / UNLATCHING THE LIFT GATE IF THE DRIVER IS INSIDE THE VEHICLE. OUR OWNER'S MANUAL CHAPTER ON MANUALLY OPERATED LIFT GATE OPERATION, PAGE 68, STATES THAT THE VEHICLE SHOULD BE EQUIPPED WITH TWO METHODS OF UNLATCHING. THE FIRST, A BUTTON 'LOCATED IN THE TOP OF THE LIFT GATE PULL CUP HANDLE ' AND THE SECOND A BUTTON ON THE REMOTE CONTROL KEY FOB THAT WILL UNLATCH THE GATE BY 'PRESSING THE (2X) BUTTON TWICE WITHIN THREE SECONDS '. OUR VEHICLE WAS DELIVERED NEW WITH A KEY FOB THAT DOES NOT HAVE THE 2X BUTTON. THE RESULT IS THAT THE LIFT GATE CAN ONLY BE UNLATCHED FROM OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE. IN AN EMERGENCY OR IF SOMEONE WERE TRAPPED IN THE VEHICLE, THERE IS NO LIFT GATE RELEASE BUTTON INSIDE THE CAR OR ON THE REMOTE AS STATED IN THE MANUAL.
WHEN DONE FUELING, GAS PUMP NOZZLE WON'T COME OUT OF THE NEW EASY FILL FILLER PIPE AT TIMES. IT TAKES A LOT OF TWISTING AND TURNING TO GET THE NOZZLE OUT.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR CARGO DOOR BECAME AJAR AND OPENED INDEPENDENTLY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS NO AUDIBLE OR VISUAL WARNING OF THE DOOR BEING AJAR. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DOOR STRUCK THE HEADER OF THE GARAGE DOOR ENTRY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO PAT MILLIKEN FORD (9600 TELEGRAPH RD, REDFORD CHARTER TWP, MI 48239, (313) 731-6436) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DUPLICATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 9,500. *TT
WAS IN ACCIDENT HIT FROM BACK AND THAN FRONT. CAR WAS TOTALED. AIR BAGS NEVER WENT OFF. CAR WAS STOPPED FOR TRAFFIC JAM. ACCIDENT WAS ON A HIGHWAY.
I PURCHASED THIS CAR NEW WITH 10 MILES DRIVEN ONLY 14 MONTHS AGO. AT 3100 MILES IT LOST ALL ELECTRIC/ELECTRONIC/ENGINE POWER AS I WAS TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 40 MILES ON A CITY STREET WITH TRAFFIC! THE ENGINE LIGHT, SERVICE WRENCH LIGHT AND DINGING SOUNDS FLASHED; THE VEHICLE DECREASED IN SPEED, AND SHUT DOWN, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO STEER. FORTUNATELY, I WAS ABLE TO COAST OFF THE STREET INTO AN OPEN DRIVEWAY PRIOR TO ITS COMPLETE STOP OF THE VEHICLE FROM LOSS OF ALL POWER! THEN THERE WERE ABSOLUTELY NO POWER; IGNITION WOULD NOT START; NO LIGHTS, NO POWER OF ANY KIND. AFTER CALLING FORD SERVICE HOTLINE, AND ABOUT 2.5 HOURS WAITING FOR A TOW TRUCK IN THE HOT HEAT, I TRIED THE IGNITION - THE POWER WAS BACK. NEVERTHELESS, THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE PURCHASED. THE NEXT DAY THEIR DIAGNOSTICS AND TWO TEST DRIVES 'FOUND NO PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE'. I INFORMED THE SERVICE MANAGER AT WYATT JOHNSON FORD, JUST BECAUSE THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIND A PROBLEM, DOESN'T NEGATE THE FACT THAT SOMETHING IS DEFINITELY WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE TO STOP ABRUPTLY AS IT DID; LIKE A COMPUTER SHUTTING DOWN COMPLETELY. I DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE KNOWING THIS COULD HAPPEN AGAIN WITH DIRE CONSEQUENCES AND WANT TO REPORT THIS HAZARDOUS PROBLEM TO INFORM THE PUBLIC ACCORDINGLY! THERE ARE NO PICTURES TO ACCOMPANY THIS COMPLAINT. I AWAIT SOME INFORMATION ON THIS VEHICLE. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL PEOPLE WHO SHARED SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH FORD, NISSAN AND OTHER VEHICLES. I NEED T
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL FUEL ODOR IN THE VEHICLE, BUT THERE WAS NO EXTERNAL EVIDENCE OF A FUEL LEAK. ADDITIONALLY, THE CONTACT STATED THAT STARTING THE VEHICLE WAS DIFFICULT AND, AT TIMES, COULD TAKE 10-15 SECONDS TO START. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED THAT THE FUEL RAIL IN THE ENGINE OR THE FUEL PUMP IN THE VEHICLE WAS THE CAUSE FOR THE FUEL ODOR. FORD MOTOR COMPANY WOULD NOT AUTHORIZE THE LOCAL DEALER TO DROP THE FUEL TANK TO INSPECT THE FUEL ODOR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO PAT MILLIKEN FORD (9600 TELEGRAPH RD, REDFORD CHARTER TWP, MI 48239, (313) 731-6436) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO FIND THE SOURCE OF THE ODOR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60. *TT *TR
RAW FUEL ODOR WHEN DRIVING AND STOPPING THE CAR. FUEL LEAK, STARTING PROBLEMS AND FUEL PUMP ISSUE. CAR WAS NOT REPAIRED OR REPLACED UPON REQUEST, PAT MILLIKEN FORD REFUSED TO WORK ON CAR EVEN THOUGH WE WERE IN IMMEDIATE DANGER OF A CATASTROPHIC PROBLEM. PAT MILLIKEN FORD WAS NOT AUTHORIZED BY FORD MOTOR COMPANY TO REMOVE FUEL TANK AND FIX FUEL PUMP UNTIL THEY PROVED THERE WAS A PROBLEM, EVEN THOUGH WE TOOK 25 VIDEOS OVER A 3 MONTH PERIOD AS EVIDENCE. FOR 3 MONTHS OF PAYMENTS, INSURANCE AND FEAR OF THE RISK OF FIRE WHILE DRIVING, FORD MOTOR AND PAT MILLIKEN REFUSED TO REPAIR THE CAR AFTER MORE THAN 5 VISITS, NUMEROUS CONVERSATIONS WITH FORD MOTOR CUSTOMER SERVICE AND PAT MILLIKEN FORD. THE SMELL OF RAW GAS, AND THE LONG GRIND DELAYED START EXISTED WHEN CAR WAS IDLE AFTER TRAVELING LOCAL STREETS AND HIGHWAYS..
I WAS DRIVING AND I STEPPED ON THE BRAKES TO TURN THE CORNER, AND THEY MADE AN AIR RELEASING NOISE AND DID NOT SLOW ME DOWN, THEY WENT COMPLETELY OUT! I HAVE BRAND NEW BRAKES. I TOOK IT TO THE REPAIR SHOP AND IT WAS THE BRAKE BOOSTER SYSTEM. THANK GOD THIS HAPPENED IN A PARKING LOT AND NOT ON THE STREET!
PANORAMIC SUN ROOF CRACKED SUDDENLY WHEN A DOOR WAS CLOSED. CAR WAS STATIONARY AND DOOR WINDOWS WERE UP.
UPON RETURNING FROM AN 8 DAY ABSENCE, I WENT TO START THE CAR AND IT WAS TOTALLY DEAD. TRIED TO JUMP IT AND WHILE INTERNAL ACCESSORY LIGHTS CAME ON IT WOULD NOT START. CALLED FORD AND THEY SENT A TOW TRUCK, WHO JUMPED IT WITH A HAND HELD LITHIUM BATTERY AND IT STARTED. HAD THE TOW TRUCK FOLLOW ME TO THE DEALER, WHERE WITH THE DRIVERS DOOR OPEN, THE ENTIRE CAR WENT DEAD AGAIN. THE DEALER WAS GOING TO REPLACE THE BATTERY BUT IT WOULD NOT FAIL ACCORDING TO THE NEW FORD BATTERY FAILURE CRITERIA AND I SUGGESTED SIMPLY PLACING IT BACK IN THE CAR AND I WOULD CONTINUE TO DRIVE IT LOCALLY. THE CAR SEEMS TO HAVE AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE, AS I HAVE NOTICED WHEN I GET INTO THE CAR, I READJUST MYSELF BY PLACING MY LEFT ARM ON THE ARM REST, DOOR AND MY RIGHT HAND ON THE CENTER CONSOLE AND CENTER MYSELF TO THE STEERING WHEEL. IN THAT PROCESS I HEAR THE DOOR LOCKS GO OFF, FROM PUSHING DOWN ON THE ARM REST, DOOR. MY TURN SIGNAL ALSO LOSES THE CLICKING SOUND FROM TIME TO TIME AND NOW I NOTICE THE TURN SIGNALS LIGHT UP WHEN I PLACE MY HAND IN THE DOOR HANDLE TO UNLOCK THE DRIVERS DOOR. I ENJOY DRIVING THE CAR AND WILL CONTINUE TO WORK WITH MY DEALER TO SEE WHAT CAN BE DONE. MY CONCERN IS BEING OUT OF TOWN OR LEAVING IT AT THE AIR PORT AND HAVING TO DEALING WITH A DEAD CAR. IT ACTED AS IF THE ENTIRE BATTERY HAD BEEN DISCHARGED, SIMPLY SITTING IN THE GARAGE.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH IN THE RAIN, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE ACTIVATED, BUT FAILED TO FUNCTION CORRECTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO RICART FORD (4255 S HAMILTON RD, GROVEPORT, OH 43125, (614) 836-6260), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 18,000. *TT CONTACT STATED VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO RICART FORD WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE DEALERSHIP RECEIVED AN OFFICE MEMO ABOUT THE FORD EDGE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WOULD MALFUNCTION. *TT
VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND OFF. WE LOADED ALL LUGGAGE INTO THE CAR AND CLOSED THE DOORS. BOTH KEYS WERE IN THE DIAPER BAG. THE AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKS ENGAGED AND WE HAD NO WAY TO GET INTO OUR CAR OR CALL FOR HELP, AS OUR PHONES WERE IN THE CAR. THIS TYPE OF DOOR LOCK DOES NOT REQUIRE YOU TO PUSH THE FOB BUTTON. YOU JUST HAVE TO TOUCH THE DOOR HANDLE WHILE KEYS ARE IN YOUR POSSESSION. BUT THE CAR IS NOT SUPPOSED TO LOCK IF THE KEY IS WITHIN THE VEHICLE. WE HAD TO CALL AAA TO GET THE DOOR UNLOCKED. FORTUNATELY OUR INFANT AND DOGS HAD NOT BEEN LOADED YET. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THE LOCKS HAVE ENGAGED IN THEIR OWN WHILE THE KEY IS IN THE CAR. ALSO OF NOTE; THE DOORS DISPLAY A SMALL RED LED WHEN LOCKED NORMALLY. THE RED LIGHT WAS NOT ILLUMINATED WHEN THIS HAPPENED, WHICH MAKES ME BELIEVE THERE WAS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE/MALFUNCTION.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRACTION CONTROL WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED, INDICATING THAT IT WAS BOTH ON AND OFF. THE DEALER (ROBERTS MOTORS, 4350 N ALBY ST, ALTON IL) WAS CONTACTED, BUT COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND CASE NUMBER: 14565487 WAS OPENED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE PRELIMINARY PROCESS FOR THE INVESTIGATION. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 13,000.
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.
