general problems of the 2011 Ford Edge

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.

Driver side strut keeps going out already had it replaced a month ago and driver side window cracked for no reason from down in the door not even where anyone could hit it.

First of all the first problem I encountered with my vehicle was the passenger wheel barring was defected and started making a bad noise so took it to the shop and the mechanic said lucky I did because is was about to break and cause my wheel to come off going down the road. After that I noticed that my engine would run hot if I sat still in the parking lot just running even with the ac off. I had no warning that anything was wrong. I turned my car off and it didn't seem to do it anymore until we started getting this really hot weather this may, me and my family was going in to town to grab a bite to eat when (without any warning) my car starts sputtering as if I put bad gas in it. My husband instructed me to pull over and take a look and low and behold my car has been running hot just after driving only 10 minutes. He pulled the dipstick and oil is milky and oil was all in the water resivour. My car had over heated without any warning that anything was wrong and blown heat gasket and cracked heads. My engine shot. We took it to the shop where I had to purchase a new engine and after the mechanic ran a diagnostics test on my car he said that the fan control module was faulty which did not allow my cooling fans to come on at all and my system never alerted me either. We replaced cooling fans along with module. Everything seems fine after 2,000 dollars later. Fyi never rely on your information screen to tell you if your running hot, go to settings and keep your screen on the temp gauge at all times so you will know for yourself how cool your engine is running. I would be nice after all the complaints Ford has received about these piece of crap cooling fans that they will just suck it up and do the recall. We are hard working americans and dont deserve this crap. We support Ford an american car manufacturer and expect the same respect!!.

The contact owns a 2011 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while turning the steering wheel in either direction, a clunking noise was coming from the front of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the local mechanic who diagnosed that the front driver’s and passenger’s side axle, cv joint, and wheel hub assembly had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired but the failure had reoccurred. The manufacturer and local dealer were not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 50,000.

Vehicle failed annual safety inspection at approximately 40k miles. Dealer explained that front tie rod ends had failed and needed replacement. Made an appointment for service. Upon returning for service on the scheduled date at approximately 45k miles, dealer discovered leak in front rack and pinion assembly and explained entire front rack and pinion assembly needs replacement. As of this report, the vehicle is still with the local dealership's service department. The part to be replaced is on back-order. After quick internet search, discovered instances of same problem in steering & suspension with other 2011 Ford Edge and 2011 Lincoln mdx awd vehicles. This is a safety issue in addition to being extremely costly in a relatively new vehicle for myself and other vehicle owners. This should be investigated. Thanks for your time.

I purchased a certified used 2011 Ford Edge in January 2013. Shortly thereafter, I started noticing some major issues. 1) the transmission whines at low speeds, until I accelerate & it shifts up a few gears. I have also had it slip & clunk while shifting gears 2) there is a loud popping from the front end, passenger side, when I am turning, especially in & out of parking spots 3) there is a whistle coming from under the SUV, between the driver side doors & it does it in accessory mode or when the SUV is running. I have now had it back at the dealer for the 3rd time & they are working with Ford on diagnosing the issues. It is very disheartening to spend so much money for a vehicle & have such issues. Thankfully it is certified & under warranty. The dealership has been good about getting me a loaner vehicle too. But I almost am ready to ask them to trade me out of it, because I am sick of dealing with the issues. It is embarrassing to have such a nice looking "new" vehicle & when people ride with me, they notice all the things wrong & say I got a bad deal.
