38 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 07/25/2022

Since July 1, 2022 my car has completely shut down, as of today, four different days (almost on a weekly basis). I am noticing, that when I am at a stop light/sign and then accelerate the car will shut down all electrical. I cruise to a stop, put the car in park, and start the engine, again. The wrench light will flash right before the car shuts down. The car has been doing this since at least October 2021. I have taken it to three different mechanics (including the Ford dealer mechanic in may, 2022) and no one can find anything wrong with the car. I took the car last week to replace the coolant pump at the santa monica Ford and they couldn't find anything else wrong with the car (again). So far, I've been lucky. This has only occurred on city streets and I have been able to pull the car over to the right to start the engine. I have only been driving on the streets because I'm afraid it's going to shut down in the middle of the freeway and cause an accident. I search the internet and find that many people are having the same issue with this car model. Someone suggested it could be the throttle body, so I had that cleaned in October, 2021, but the trouble came back. Help!!!!.

39 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 07/05/2022

The component involved was the throttle body. Late post but this happened 7/5/22. The vehicle unexpectedly (and without any warning) lost power while I was driving on the freeway. All the power was off in the vehicle. Fortunately the freeway wasn't as crowded as it normally is and I was able to coast over the shoulder. I let the vehicle rest and tried to drive (while on the shoulder to get to a safer/wider part) again but it quickly lost power again. When I got to a safer part of the shoulder I called for a tow truck. After having a previous issue with this vehicle (brake booster went bad which caused the brake pedal to get hard to press and car would also shut off) I looked into other common issue with this vehicle make and model. I read the other horror stories of this vehicle losing power while driving and hoped to you know who that this wouldn't happen to me while my child was with me. Ford had a recall for the brake booster issue but it didn't match my VIN. Apparently Ford supposedly narrowed the issue down to a few manufacturing sites and did not include all vehicles made during those years. It is clearly a systemic issue for this vehicle, just like the throttle body issue ( and others) the Ford is too cheap to fix! I am going to assume this is the same issue with my throttle body not being recalled for my specific VIN since my vehicle wasn't made at a certain manufacturing site (even though Ford is clearly using the same parts on their vehicles). It's bs and dangerous! they don't care about us, just profits but that's really no surprise nowadays with these companies. Unfortunately I'm not in a position to switch vehicles or else I would. This was my first and probably last Ford I'll ever own.

40 Equipment problem

My 2013 Ford Edge leaks a pinkish fluid. After taking it to two mechanics, they have determined the water pump is leaking onto the engine which could potentially cause a fire. The repair costs has been quoted at least $3,000. There have been over 100,000 reports of this failure for this vehicle. Why hasn't there been a recall?.

The sunroof rails guides broke and its not being hold by the rail guides. The broken pieces are just floating free. Feels like if I take highway the paranomic glass will swing open and cause an accident. Im really concern for my family or any passanger. I believe its a default from Ford for not being well engeneeeed.

44 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 03/13/2022

The vehicle is not going into second gear. A pull onto a 40 mph road means a quick start but then the vehicle won't shift gears so needs to be pulled over quickly to not be in the way of coming traffic. It was inspected by family automatician but wrench light had turned off and stopped problem. Then happened again the next morning followed by wrench light later in the day. Not inspected, yet.

45 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 02/22/2022

My 2013 Ford Edge has the sunroof rails broken . I think because they are made out of plastic. So the only thing holding the front of the glass is some wires to prevent it from the glass from catching air and catching air borne which will shatter the glass. Im really scare to take the freeway.

I have been having issues with the backup camera on this model. I replaced the camera and still having issues. A warning message is displayed and says contact dealer. I've recently noticed a recall on newer model Fords and wonder why there wasn't a recall on the later models since there is the same issue with the newer models.

Even though the door is closed, the door open signal is on and will stay on and I cannot lock the car. It was happening periodically, now it is consistent. After reviewing the NHTSA website, I noticed that 19n09 was issued and I never received the notice to bring the car in.

Over a year ago my driver side door would be closed and my Edge would said door ajar leaving the lights on and me unable to lock my doors. After dropping a bunch of money the latch was replaced and has a warranty on it.

Driver door ajar switch not working.

61 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 06/01/2020

The door latch on the rear door (driver's side) continues to show "door ajar". The dome light remains on because it reacts to the door being open. Dashboard tells you the door is not closed properly; it is closed. This has been happening for months, but I finally brought it to Ford when it was appropriate (due to covid restrictions) I have noticed that the dome light comes on, courtesy lights have come on, when I have been in the house and no one is near the car. On several occasions the battery has been dead in the morning with no apparent reason; it may be that the light is coming on because it thinks the car door is open because of the defective latch. The front door latch is being replaced under extended warranty; the rear door should also be covered for defective latch.

62 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 05/19/2020

I'm always sure to lock my doors while driving because of the concern of an assailant entering while at a stop light. However, I'm unable to protect myself because my doors won't lock while the car is in drive. This is massive safety concern for my family and me. One should feel safe and protected while in their vehicle, especially a Ford vehicle. My dealership did confirm and replicate this issue.

Driver door says ajar after closing door draining battery alarm goes off in middle of the night as battery drains and eventually dies.

64 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 02/07/2020

Passenger side door latch illuminates dome lights and gives me �door ajar� message when door is in fact closed. This prohibits the doors from locking while driving. There is currently a recall for the driver side, however mine is passenger and Ford will not replace it. This occurs daily.

65 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 02/02/2020

Broken shifter cable. While parking my 2013 Ford Edge in my garage (house sits on a very big hill), my vehicle started rolling away from me. Attempting to get back in wasn't possible. My vehicle rolled down a very steep drive way and could have killed anyone in its way! after looking online I found that Ford recalled 504,000 escape and fusion vehicles. I did not find where Ford Edge was mentioned. This needs to be made aware to the people who own Ford Edge! my life could have been destroyed forever if someone was killed or severely hurt! after talking to the mechanic who fixed my vehicle, he told me this incident wasn't my fault, that the shift cable was broke and the car started rolling on its own right at his shop. It was not possible to put the car in the park position. My vehicle door and fender were destroyed upon leaving my garage because I opened the door to try and get back in the vehicle. I had to jump out of the way or I would have been crushed between the door and my house.

66 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 02/01/2020

The door ajar light is on indicating that the driver's side back door is opened even though the door is closed. As a result you cannot lock the doors and the light stays on inside the car. I called Ford and they are not willing to repair the problem even though there was a recall for the same issue on the driver's side front door. This occurs while the car is in park or in drive and while in motion at low or higher speeds.

67 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 01/07/2020

Recently had my vehicle serviced for an ongoing door lock issue where Ford extended warranty coverage. During the most recent service on 7 Jan 2020, the service advisor also indicated and documented that the ptu (power transfer unit) is leaking from a vent and that indicates it needs to be replaced at approx $1,800. 00. The vehicle as noted in their records and my odometer, had only 39,100 miles at this time. Per research on the web it appears this is a well known issue with the Ford Edge that Ford is aware of and discontinued using that particular ptu. When questioned, the Ford advisor at holman Ford indicated he was not aware of any such issues nor that a different drive part was now being used by Ford. Ford is not offering any form of compensation or credit or any recompense at this time.

69 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 01/03/2020

A few years ago, I brought my Edge into a dealership in shawnee mission, KS (shawnee mission Ford) for the rearview camera malfunctioning. What occurs is, once I put the car in reverse, the camera will, sometimes come on, once I begin backing out, the camera will shut off and a message will appear. On some occasions, the camera will operate, but 9 times out of 10 it will always go black with a pop up message. I want my vehicle to be included in the recall if the backup camera is the issue please.
