5 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 01/01/2020

My car has a faulty latch system in the driver side door. My door is completely shut however the warning light for an open door stays on and I am unable to lock my car while driving as this light stays on. This is also causing my lights to stay on as well. This is a safety concern because I have 2 children and I cannot lock my doors from the inside of my car while the car is in motion. I hit the lock button and since my car is showing that there is an open door, they immediately unlock and stay that way, which is a safety issue not only for myself but my children as well. I’ve had this issue for a couple of years now and went online and saw that several other Ford Edge owners have had the same problem.

8 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 03/15/2019

While driving down the highway, my heater started blowing cold air and within 5-10 minutes my gas pedal would no longer accelerate. 1-2 minutes after my gas pedal would no longer accelerate, my engine light came on. Thankfully this happened as I was approaching an exit and I was able to exit the highway before my car overheated and completely shut off. My car overheated 1-2 minutes after my engine light came on. There were no signs of any problems on my car before this all happened. It was very sudden. I was about 1. 5 hours away from home and had to have my car towed. A mechanic looked at it and said the coolant is completely draining out. They use an entire gallon of coolant and it poured out of my car immediately, in under a minute. As of right now, I have to replace the water pump on my car. However, in order to replace the water pump, the mechanic said they have to completely remove my front engine in order to access the water pump. This will call for at least 12 hours of labor, raising cost of what should have been around $200 for a new water pump to between $1700-$2100. If the mechanics find that the coolant has indeed mixed with my engine oil and ruined my engine, then I will have to completely replace my engine, raising the cost further to $7k+. According to kelley blue book, if I end up having to replace the engine, this will cost about 2-3 times what my car is worth.

�takata recall� I am very disappointed and unsafe with my Ford Edge , for the last few weeks it has been shutting off when the car comes to a stop or in idle. There is no codes or any warning signs that comes up . The car just losses power and shits off on its own. I am tired of fixing and spending money behind my Ford Edge I know it has nothing to do with the engine because it was recently replaced last year July under warranty also I replaced all tensions and the water pump also spark plugs . I took it to my main mechanic and he could not figure out what's the problem he told me to go to Ford and I went to Ford and they took 2 days to tell me they don't know what's the problem . Today I was on my way home on the highway I come to slow down getting off on my exit and the car just shuts off and the steering wheel gets tight and I can't move or turn it . There was cars next to me and behind me and in front I could of got hurt or put others in danger . This is not safe for Ford to have vechiles out on the road like this with not source of how to fix it or any warning light.

Passenger side rear door will not open unless released from the outside. This vehicle is a takata airbag recall, I have rental from Ford, and I would like this issue addressed when the airbag replacement becomes available. I believe it to be a safety hazard. No one is driving this vehicle.

On October 25, 2018 I put my vehicle in reverse when it suddenly accelerated at a high rate of speed. It hit the curb and continued to accelerate into another parked vehicle which cause that vehicle to hit a building and then my vehicle continued in reverse and hit another car and then continued until my vehicle hit a GMC truck which finally stopped my vehicle. During this entire episode, I was unable to get control of my vehicle at no point was I able to use my brakes as they did not respond. Alf this occurred in a small commercial parking lot and all vehicles involved were stationary except mine.

Drove car to store, parked and turned off. While gathering my purse I noticed smoke coming from front of car. Opened up hood and flames ignited. Appeared to start @ O2 sensor @ manifold. Burned 2nd coil pack and wiring harness. Burnt up radiator fan and upper radiator hose. Fire department called to put out. Car is at local Ford dealership to determine how and why fire started. So far no response or idea from them. They show one recall on corrosion of fuel tank, but say it did not contribute to the fire.

16 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 09/23/2015

On the stated date, my son pulled the handle to release the passenger side front door and the door did not open. I have traced the problem to a defective door latch mechanism. The cable is intact and the problem is inside the door latch. I am of the opinion that this is a safety issue and not one that I the consumer should have to bear the burden of parts and labor.

Back door was not latching and unable to close. My vehicle had to be towed from my employment to my residence as the door kept popping open. Ford fixed the latch for 330. 00, the dealer special ordered a new latching system for my 2010 Ford Edge.

I have only owned my 2010 Ford Edge less than a year and the panoramic moonroof motors went out. Not just one, but both. I live in wisconsin and really can only use the moonroof maybe 4 months out the year, and for both motors to blow is not good. My faith in Ford has dead. It is going to cost me over 1,000 to fix.

Failure Date: 01/06/2015

I was driving up hill at 40mph, I first noticed my rpms dropping, then my speed. Came home and called dealership, as my vehicle is under warranty, car was towed to fairfield Ford. They called later to tell me it was the throttle body assembly and he took it apart and cleaned it. He said at this time, it was fine. Of course, this was the one thing not covered by the extended warranty. Within 2 weeks, the same thing happened again. It was intermittent. So I had my mechanic replace the part.

I bought a used 2010 Ford Edge last year August from connicelli dealer in conshohoken PA. The same day I bought the car, on my way home I noticed that the brake has a problem. Took it back and was fixed. Right after this. , I was parking in a small parking lot , the car accelerated on his own and went on the grass. The second time I was parking in front of my garage, the car accelerated again and I almost drag my second car to the basement. The third time, I was parking in small parking lot and it accelerated again. Only this time, the car crash into parked car and the car hit another car. My car and two other cars was damaged. Thank god, nobody was in the two cars. The 3 cars look like it was a highway auto accident. I am not sure if the us government is going to do anything about Ford and the acceleration problem until when it kills one of their own. Ordinary citizen do not count. Ford company is a giant, mega company that helps when it comes to politicians in us. I am scared of this car. It almost kill me. Federal government is on this monster heartless company side. Killing innocent people because of their power in this country. Ford company are untouchable. Consumers just have to live with it. The only time you probably get a solution will be when one of the tops get killed in a Ford auto accident occuring with an acceleration problem. Then you will hear it the cnn. Shame on all that knows this acceleration problem and not doing anything. Will it be different if its your mother, father, wife, husband, daughter, son or grandchildren. I am 56 year old and I have driven different cars, never been in an accident until I bought this Ford Edge. Do the right thing. Ford company you're selling us a lemon and you know it. You need to pay for this killings. Us federal government, you;re our last hope. Please help us.

Today, my wife brought her 2010 Ford Edge in for the 3rd time in a matter of 3 weeks, to the local dealership. The problem is while she is driving, the check engine light will come on and the engine will stall leaving her stranded in the middle of traffic, after a minute she can restart it but it happens shortly after that. They had replaced a sensor on the last visit but yet again today the light came back on and it stalled several times before she could get it home. This places my wife and others in traffic with her in danger as when the car stalls there is no way to warn other drivers and could cause an accident. I do not believe the dealership has any clue as to what is going on with this vehicle. I have done some research online using google and have found there are many others out there who seem to have had the same problem and no one seems to have a definite reason as to why.
