general problems of the 2011 Ford Edge - part 1

Rear back up camera is inverted. Has been for many years. Ford says no fix. There has been many recalls for this problem on other model years. Why not this year, 2011.

This back up camera has been an issue almost immediately after I got the car. Now the picture is upside down and has lines across the screen. I am on disability and I need my camera. That's one of the reasons I bought the car. Please fix this ASAP.

My camera has been upside down and or blank or won't show anything half the time and took to the dealer and they said they cant fix it because software issue but Ford has recalled other cars cameras for the same issue. Can't see behind me very well due to camera malfunction almost every time in reverse.

Backup camera is showing picture upside down and blurred also get message to contact dealer.

Overheating && electrical !!!! it’s been over heating since I got the dealership fixed it free of charge I’m still having the same problem I looked it up there are 3 recalls that’s I’m having the exact same problems with.

Door sensor not working, lights stay on and the battery keeps going off, very common issue from research online.

Rear back up camera not working says to contact dealer camera freezes turns upside down 4 years ago replaced camera that did the same thing this is the second camera that has failed.

I'm not sure if it's electrical or the transmission. My car is not going on parking gear. The car don't start abs the shifter is not moving. My car shifter was on parking gear, but on the dash it's not showing it's on parking. My safety concern is that the car rolls (moves) even though the car is off , no keys in the ignition. It's on parking but on the dash it's not displaying thr it's on parking gear. I need to apply the emergency breaks to keep the car from rolling ( moving) if the emergency breaks goes off the vehicle is going to roll causing to crash. I removed the cover to see if there was something causing the shifter from not moving. Then I took it to the nearest auto repair. I explained the issue and concern. They state the the shifter cable needs to be replaced. I took my vehicle to a mechanic for a second opinion he said it not the shifter cable. I never had this problem until recently. There was no warning it just didn't want to start. Now it is not go on parking gear. And it only starts un nneutraland to turned it off . I have to put it on reverse gear in order to retrieve my keys. And the emergency break must be on if not the car will roll.

My rear view video display is displaying upside down. This is a known recall for other Ford Edges but mine is not included in the current recall.

The back up camera stopped working approximately 1 month ago. I had returned home from work, parked in the garage, everything was normal. Next day as I started backing out of the garage there is no camera screen, just a message stating, rearview camera is unavailable. Please contact your dealership. Because of a neck injury, I rely on my back up camera to drive safely. I had no warning, the camera just quit working.

I need the registration and license plates to my vehicle. My car was not in a accident.

My car will turn on the lights in the middle of the night, without anybody in it. Battery is continuously dead, even after replacing with a new battery. The alternator and starter have been checked and are good. The passenger door ajar is always on. When I lock the car with my key fob it honks twice and the lights inside the car remain on. The car will die while driving it, when I am at a stop light. The engine light will come on and the only warning that appears is passenger door ajar. Other Ford vehicles have a recall for these horrible issues and my vehicle should be as well. This is a major issue caused by Ford. Period. There is no specific date for this issue, it happens every single day since I have owned this 2011 Ford Edge se fwd.

Eternal water pump failure. Water pump came loose while driving dumped coolant into engine causing engine to have catastrophic failure. Need a full engine replacement. Took vehicle to 2 mechanics for diagnosis. Both states vehicle has coolant in engine. Engine needs replaced I'm uploading an estimate from a certified Ford dealership after I told them the issue over the phone.

Engine light came on but 0 warning detected on the menu . Water pump failure on my vehicle. In shop now the repair is costly due to the water pump placement. Could have other major issues in repair shop now . 0 warning on menu inside car ?.

I own a 2011 Ford Edge. Recently, I’ve been having problems when I get in the vehicle and, also when the passenger behind me gets in and we then shut our doors…. A warning light comes up on the dashboard stating that the passenger’s side door is ajar. After many attempts of slamming the door, the light goes off. My fear is that if I have a passenger, there could be an issue of the door opening, if I can not get the door shut correctly or my battery would drain and I could have a dead battery. I have looked into recalls, but none have been stated. The interesting fact, is that my sister has the same 2011 Edge and the same thing happened to her. She said the dealership fixed hers at no cost and said it was a recall. My vehicle has 102,000 miles on it. Also, my rear view camera does not always work. Safety issue if relying on that. Also, no recalls have been issued.

The door ajar is not indicating door is shut therfore I am unable to lock door also dome lights remain on draining battery. I have tried cleaning out area it helps sometimes then goes back to not working. This is a safety issue for me and my kids as I cannot lock my vehicle and my vehicle will not lock making it unsafe while driving.

The backup camera displays upside down. Also, there is a clunk noise coming from the front end when you put in gear. Seems to be a common problem when you google.

I have a 2011 Ford Edge with 62,700 miles on it and the drivers door latch is not working correctly.

Vehicle turned off completely while driving without notice. Lost all power, power steering, etc. Had to pull off to side of road. Once car was placed in park position, all lights came back on and I was able to start the vehicle again like nothing had happened. Very dangerous situation.

I am having issues with my Edge dying on me a lot it shuts off all power and I have to pull to the side of the road. I was on the freeway last week on my way to work and it lost all power. This is a serious issue and is very dangerous specially when I have young ones. I have read where a lot of people are having the same problem. A lot of people are saying the throttle body. This needs to be recalled and fix before there is a pile up on the hwy and someone is killed.

While driving down the road my brakes completely locked up on me and by the time I could safely pull over, all 4 tires were smoking (I'm assuming coming from the brakes). I had it towed to a Ford dealer were I was notified that I was the 3rd Ford Edge this week to have the brake system lock up (one of the other vehicles was just purchased by the employee that I was speaking with and his brakes locked up the day after purchasing it, while driving down the highway). In my situation the "service advancetrec/abs/traction control" lights came on and next thing I know the brakes are locked up and the car wouldn't go. Luckily I was alone in the car (I have children) and I was not at a high rate of speed, such as the highway. The Ford dealer inspected it and said my abs system went haywire and I now need a new abs system/modules after I just had the brake booster and master cylinder replaced. I don't think that it is a coincidence that 3 separate people with the same kind of vehicle (2011-2013 Ford Edge) all in 1 week had their brakes lockup. If there are 3 people in one week at this particular dealer, how many others are out there going through the same issue or have already had this happen? hopefully Ford can resolve this issue before someone gets hurt or killed in an accident.

When driving, you loose power from the gas peddle, the wrench light appears, you must pull of the road, put the vehicle in park, turn it off, and then restart it, this can happen at any time, 20mp or 80mp, you never know when you will loose power of this vehicle. Very dangerous.

I own a 2011 Ford Edge that has a reoccurring door latch issue. This is a well known issue with certain Ford Edge years. The door latches are defective and malfunction, causing a "door ajar" dash warning light and the interior lights come on. We have had all 4 door latches replaced, but I currently have one malfunctioning again. The last one I had replaced in 2018 was not covered under warranty, and cost me $350. I spoke with Ford and they refuse to reimburse me. My daughter currently drives this car. It is unsafe when the interior lights come on at night when driving due to this issue. Ford should step up and recall these models with this problem.

Back up camera is flipped upside down and has been for years. No one has attempted to fix this. Is there a recall on this model and year. 2011 Ford Edge sport.

Brake pedal is hard & won't stop vehicle & then goes soft. Has to be pressed to the floor to stop, also makes a high pitched squeal when pushed sometimes.

The “vista” sunroof on my car is stuck open. This allows rain to come into my car providing hazardous driving conditions. The Ford dealer wants $4000 to repair & $500 to close. I’ve asked Ford several times for a detailed breakdown of costs, they have not provided anything to date.

I have had several problems with my back up camera. My camera now is showing the picture upside down. As a [xxx], I am using this for safety and it is very distressing since this is one reason I purchased my Ford vehicle. I see there has been a recall issued for some 2011 Ford Edge vehicles and wondering how I could get my VIN number added. I feel this is a serious issue for safety.

While driving abs light came on, then service advance trak. Did this intermittently. Got on ramp, turning wheel right anti lock brakes kicked in for no reason. It wasn't raining, not icy, etc. Parked. When I started my card drove 15 minutes, abs light came back on- then kicked in, for no reason.

Car shut off on a major high way. No power. Almost got hit by another car. Needed to be towed home. Ford dealership has had my car for 2 weeks with no help!!!!!.

Back-up camera doesn't work and it is asking to put in a new nav sd card. Then it tell me to contact your dealership about your camera.

I I cannot remove the head rests on the rear seats. This has been a problem since I bought the vehicle in 2014, I believe. If I put the rear seats down, it's okay, but with them up, it blocks approx. 30% of view, out the back window. To me, that's a safety issue. I had taken it to a couple of different dealers, but been told it cannot be done. There are buttons to push (same as on the front seats), and the head rests can be raised and lowered, but not totallu removed as can be done with the fronts. Also, seems when I go to the car wash, the rubber of the rear window wiper blade becomes torn. Since I don't hardly ever use it, I thought I'd just remove it. Again, to no avail. Is the anything that can be done in that reguard? thanks for any help at all, that you might have.

The front passenger door ajar indicator light stays on even when the door is closed. This keeps the interior lights on and drains the battery and the car will not lock. This creates a safety issue when I have my grandchildren in the car and I cannot lock the car. Also, I work around correctional facilities and it is required that we keep our cars locked. This problem is really stressing me out and I feel Ford should be responsible for this issue. Also, my air bag indicator lights stay on continously which is another safety issue. I'm not sure the airbags would deploy if I were in an accident.

I (skyla burks) took my Ford Edge to the dealership to have my recalls repaired! my brake booster being the main one I'm concerned with because that's the biggest safety problem! the dealership told me because my car was over a certain amount of miles that the recall expired! how can the brake booster recall ever expire? especially when that's the means of being able to stop! my brakes are so bad that I don't like putting my children in the car! I don't feel safe at all driving it & they tell me they can't repair due to the mileage! well the mileage don't have anything to with my brakes going out & causing me to wreck & get injured or worse! this is a huge safety problem for not just myself! so how can I get this fixed?.

3 times my 2011 Ford Edge has lost power & gone into �limp mode� while driving. I've had to coast to side of the road. Wrench light, no awd, no traction, low engine oil lights have all come on. Once the car wouldn't restart so I had it towed. Last time I drove it to dealership for them to tell me there are no codes so they don't know what the problem is. Obviously this is a very dangerous situation as I'm traveling 60 +miles an hour when my car basically loses power as I'm trying to get to a safe location. Investigating this problem it's a known throttle body issue & there is a customer satisfaction program 16b23 for 2011 Ford Edge w 3. 5l engine & from oakville plant which fits my car but my VIN is not included because year it was made. I called Ford customer service & they were going to reach out to dealership & then get back to me. That never happened. This is very disheartening that Ford doesn't see this as a life threatening situation & put into effect a recall.

2011 Ford Edge 102k miles. Front driver door light ajar, the door indicating its ajar keeps the lights in the vehicle illuminated, this in turned drained the battery. Very hard to tell the lights inside are on during daylight hours. Unfortunately this situation left my wife and kids stranded. Looked up solutions for this when I ran across the recall 19n09 for this situation. Took it to the local dealership where it was diagnosed as the the issue. They noted this was a very common issue with these cars. Unfortunately today's date (8/26/20) was 26 days past the recall expiration date of 7/31/20. The dealership advised me they couldn't fix the issue under the recall due to the expiration and the repair would cost $471. I called Ford directly where they politely told me I missed the date and therefore I was on my own. I'm very disappointed in Ford's decision to not stand behind the recall and take care of the known issue with the Edge after being only 26 days after a recall expired. I asked Ford if they had notified me of this issue with the vehicle prior to the recall expiring, they said they sent me a notice in January, I asked them to confirm the address that notice was sent to and they intimately asked me to verify my address to them. Red flag. . . . I got the feeling they did not send out any notice on this recall and they could not confirm where they sent the notice to. Ford advised me to pay up, get it fixed but keep the receipt in case the recall opens back up they would reimburse me for it. Very disappointed in this situation and in Ford. The way the car is currently is not safe for my wife and kids to drive. The dealership told me that I could just "disconnect the negative terminal to stop the battery from draining"! Ford please do the right thing and open this recall back up.
