general problems of the 2013 Ford Edge - part 2

As I was driving in a 25 mph zone and after I just came to a stop the car would not move then started lurching and I was able to make it into a parking lot , had to have car towed and then was told by mechanic p t u had failed . That cost me 2200. 00 and now 17,000 miles later the transmission goes out and it’s going to be 3900. 00 . The car is currently at liberty Ford in brunswick, ohio 330-225-9141 rich the general manager told me to call him but has yet to return my phone call .

Started noticing small drips of dark black liquid on driveway where vehicle was parked overnight. Further investigation revealed the drip was from the ptu/power takeoff unit. After some research, I discovered this is a very serious and common problem on this model vehicle because the lubricant cannot be changed nor does the manufacturer recommend any maintenance on the unit. Failure of the ptu is dangerous and will result in vehicle disablement. Therefore the only option is to replace the entire unit with a new one that Ford has added a drain plug for lubricant changes at scheduled intervals. This repair will cost approximately $2000 plus loss of the use of vehicle.

While driving in town car lost power and limped along. Yellow/orange wrench light came on. Pulled over turned engine off then restarted, worked fine. Manual said power train loss of power. Three times it's happened and Ford can't find code to determine problem. No confidence in car. If happened on highway at high speeds there probably would have been major accident.

At less than 69,000 miles, my 2013 Ford Edge developed a whine in the power train, noted by my independent mechanic. I own one vehicle and I live 13 miles from the Ford dealership in coatesville where I purchased it new in 2013. The dealership diagnosed the problem as the power transfer unit and indicated it could fail at any time (causing a real safety issue). Reluctant to risk driving it any more than absolutely necessary, I had it replaced at a cost of $2,000. The dealer submitted a claim to Ford to seek any financial help, since it had less than 69,000 miles. Claim was denied on the basis that it was beyond the 60,000 mile extended warranty threshold and that it had not been continually serviced by the dealership. At less than 9,000 beyond the warranty the ptu for this 2013 Ford was clearly defective and it cries out for a recall.

I've had several incidents now with my car, dying while I'm driving, a couple of times even when I was entertaining the freeway! when I accelerate, the car stalls and the dashboard light of a wrench. The car will restart just fine after I turn it off and start it all over again.

Tl- the contact owns a Ford Edge. The contact stated while driving 30 mph, when the vehicle began to decelerate speed and the powertrain malfunction indicator warning light was illuminated. The contact stated she was able to driver to the police station parking lot. The contact stated she was able to drive to residence but continue to experience the failure multiple times. The vehicle was towed to local dealer gabriel/jordan Ford located at 2400 us-59, livingston, TX 77351, where it was diagnosed with needing throttle body to be replaced. The vehicle had not been repaired as of yet. The manufacturer had been informed of failure. The failure mileage was 78,800. Dp.

This has happened on at least 6 occasions int he last week. Most recently I was traveling on a highway at approx. 50mph when the engine entered a default low power state and the check engine light illuminated. I was able to pull onto the shoulder and the car behind me was able to avoid a collision by slamming on their brakes. Additionally, the car consistently presents symptoms of rough idle, rough engine running at normal speeds, and a highly decreased fuel economy. After pulling the odbii codes and some research, this appears to be a known problem with the car's throttle body assembly. The odbii code is p2111.

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.

My 2013 Ford Edge randomly stalls doesn't matter if I'm turning going slow or straight and going fast. The wrench light will show up. I usually stop, shut it down and restart it. It's pretty frightening. I brought it to the repair shop and they said it might be the throttle bottle. Got that cleaned up which was to dirty and still stalling.

This car is horrible. Multiple safety issues! first, my axle needs to be redone. Clicking and popping with all turns. Secondly, the electronics are haywire, with the ac blowing hot on one side and cold on the other and not starting with brand new batteries. Third, the brake system. . . Had the booster go out. Ford replaced and upon the drive back, it failed even worse locking my engine, smoke fromthe brakes being locked up. I had to tow back on my expense and rent a car for days. The replaced the booster, but I still have even worsening brake issues. Ford told me I need a new abs and master cylinder. It only did this after the 2 failed boosters. . . Now if I hit a bump or gravel while pressing the brakes, my brakes go out! I mean they fail! luckily I haven't hit anyone yet. It's off and on but happens with no warning. The pedal goes all the way to the floor and there's the constant sound of hissing and air. I have contacted Ford multiple times which is horrible and taken to the dealership where I leave with no problems until the next unexpected blow out on the brakes. All you have to do is google this model and there are tons and tons of reports of complaints for the same issue. Ford should stand by their products and fix to avoid injuries, death and lawsuits. I had no issues with my car until other than the initial brake booster failure, until my car was left with smoke all under my car from the second brake booster. I got one thing fixed only to have major problems after. How is that fair? obviously Ford didn't fix correctly and/or gave me bad equipment which burned my system up. Now I need to pay for my abs to be fixed? shame on Ford! very dangerous. Will never buy Ford again. At least the foreign cars stand by their products. Buyers beware the Edge is tainted.

Tl- the contact owns a 2013 Ford Edge. The contact stated while driving 25 mph, when he heard an abnormal noise coming from the rear side of the vehicle. The contact stated no warning lights were illuminated. The contact stated he was able to inspect the vehicle and found a oil leak on the under the passenger rear side. The contact also stated when parking the vehicle it would roll forward, if not using the emergency brake. Upon investigation the contact associated the failure with NHTSA campaign number: 14v393000 (power train). The contact called local dealer summit Ford located 200 buffalo mountain dr, silverthorne, CO 80497, (970) 262-9230, were made aware of the failure. The manufacturer has been informed of failure. The failure mileage was 100,000. Dp.

My wife's 2013 Ford Edge looses power while driving. The accelerator stops working and the car stops functioning. This has happened many times. We have called whites Ford in urbana ohio to check on recall. There are no recalls for this and the vehicle is very unsafe to drive. The Edge has 67k miles on it. Has never been involved in any accident. Ford should address these issues. We only drive the vehicle when necessary due to us not knowing when it will just loose power.

My car will all of a sudden stop excels rating at high speeds. The rpms increase as the speeds decreases. The Ford dealerships can not figure it out as it has to be doing it. It can happen 30 minutes into driving and then maybe 1. 5 hours is, there is no consistency. It has happens for the past year. And now tracing for the past summer it is very anxious driving this car. I am not sure my car was cleared really with all the recalls.

Car was making a loud humming noise while in motion.

When the car is running and in park there is an error on the dash service advancetrac. Also on several occasions the engine increases rpm and the car has actually rolled several feet when this happens.

Car would periodically shut down and I would be unable to accelerate. Would have to pull to side of road, shut engine off and restart car to be able to drive. Became worse and worse, researched online and discovered many other people were having same issues. Finally took car to mechanic, had to have throttle body replaced which cost $475. 18 I do not understand why this is not a recall issue with Ford when so many people are experiencing this issue.

Transmission jerking, shuddering, stalling, in motion. Seat belt get stock, camera sometimes works, and sometimes dont work.

Ptu went out with less than 59,000 miles. Vehicle started making humming noise upon acceleration, then smell of burning oil/fluid at stop lights. After about 2 weeks it starting making a really loud clanking noise that sounded like the whole powertrain was going to fall out. Also, could feel it in the steering wheel when it got to that point.

Tl the contact owns a 2013 Ford Edge. While driving various speeds or while the vehicle was stationary, there was a strong odor of fuel detected inside the vehicle and the ignition fuel warning indicator illuminated. The contact also mentioned that the passenger side door ajar warning indicator illuminated when the door was completely closed. Furthermore, the passenger door did not lock. The vehicle was taken to jordan Ford (13010 I-35, live oak, TX 78233, (210) 653-3673) where it was diagnosed that the fuel line needed to be replaced before it caught fire. Also, the half shaft needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The VIN was not included in NHTSA campaign number: 14v002000 (fuel system, gasoline). The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 115,000.

Vehicle with 84k miles noticed leaking oil/lubricant. Dealer discovered failing power takeoff transfer assembly. Dealer also informed us that when the lubricant is lost to a certain point the unit will fail catastrophically and the power train will seize causing all four wheels to lock up. This constitutes a major on road safety issue. Furthermore, we have been informed and have discovered in online media that this issue been reported with considerable frequency. Yet, no action is being taken on the part of Ford motor company. Fortunately, in this case it was discovered before catastrophic failure occurred. Thank you.

The power take off unit had to be replaced. Unit was leaking oil. Noticed issue after car was stationary.

Tl the contact owns a 2013 Ford Edge. While driving approximately 65 mph, the vehicle lost acceleration. The contact pulled the vehicle over to the shoulder and then drove to don vance Ford (14897 mo-38, marshfield, mo 65706). The dealer diagnosed that the power transfer unit failed and needed replacement. The contact also stated that the vehicle started to leak oil ever since it was purchased in June of 2017. The oil leak has worsened. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failures. The approximate failure mileage was 154,802.

Park light indication nit working when putting car in park. When shafting into park, the indicator on dash dies nit show p. It doesn't show any transmission setting. If I turn car off, an error appears saying to shift car into park. Drying first few months, I could toggle the shift putt on or wiggle the shuffle control and the light indicating park would appear thus allowing me to turn car off without alarm. It is becoming increasingly difficult to get the light to appear after placing the lever in park. At times, I must restart the car if I have turned ignition off , reshift and hope it recignuzes the park setting. Since the light is increasingly not lighting when in park, it's a guessing game when thrning car off. If it isn't recognuzed (although shift is in park) I cannot fully turn off car. Once recognized in park (with or without light), the car turns off as it should and seat moves back and no warnings occur. I have researched a bit, it is a known problem but Ford wants hundreds if dollars to repair. I am not sure if car us in park or nit any longer.

When gas pedal is pressed that car stalls and it feels like it doesn't want to shift to go faster. It ended up not wanting to go forward any longer. It will only reverse.

Was driving the car and the accelerator just goes dead. This is the second time in 3 years it has happened while driving 65 mph. Very scary. Have to cruise to side of the road as the gas peddle will not respond at all. Ford already charged us $750 to fix in 2016 and now it has happened again. Very unsafe electronic throttle body was already replaced once unexceptable.

Vehicle was running fine as I pulled out of my driveway onto a state highway. Once I attempted to accelerate the vehicle started sputtering and acted like it was going to die. An orange wrench appeared on my dash and said "see manual". I was able to turn the vehicle around and going about 2 miles an hour made it back into my driveway. . . It continued sputtering and knocking till I parked it. Once parked the vehicle idled fine but if I would put it back into gear it would start the sputtering/dying process again. This is the 2nd time this has happened while driving. The first time I filed a complaint as well because the Ford dealership could not duplicate the problem and there wasn't an error code. The first time I was driving on the highway at 70 mph with the cruise on and it completely cut out and I had to maneuver my way to the shoulder. I turned the car off and back on and it seemed to reset it. Again the dealership couldn't find anything wrong or duplicate the problem, even though they said problems like this had been reported by other Ford Edge owners.

On 6 occasions now my 2013 Ford Edge while driving has thrown up a check engine sign and the car will just pretty much die while in heavy traffic to the point that I am barely moving. Then second time it happened I took it to Ford they said it was the battery so I bought a new battery and still since then it continues to do it all of these way before my warranty was up but Ford could never find anything wrong with it on the other occurrences. On 8/18/2018 the car threw up a wrench sign again while driving and the car pretty much shut down I barely made it off the side of the road before being hit by another car. All occurrences have been on the interstate had it not been for luck I don't know how I kept from being hit due to the car pretty much would only roll because pressing on the gas did not good. Once to safety and pulled over to restart the car it would start and be okay then several weeks sometimes months it would do it again. Last occurrence was 8. 18/2019.

2013 Ford Edge went into limp home mode. The accelerator pedal did not work. The car idled roughly and had normal a/c, brakes and steering. The car was going 55 mph on a crowded roadway.

Tl-the contact owns a 2013 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while driving approximately 20 mph, the tranmission failed. The contact stated that upon stopping, the vehicle would not accelerate. In addition, the contact stated that the vehicle rattled and a knocking sound could be heard within the transmission. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was aproximately 137,000. Ad.

While driving the vehicle on a main thorough fare and even on a highway it began to lose power and slow down regardless of pressing the gas. Then it began to ride rough and choke and the check engine light comes on along with the low oil pressure light. Also experienced it shutting off while sitting with it idle in a fast food line. When I took it to the dealer they insisted nothing was wrong and could not get a read on the computer. I refused to pick it up from the dealer until they experienced what I experienced and it finally happened after 9 days.

Traveling on secondary road and experienced sudden power loss. "awd off" message appeared on screen, along with wrench icon. I managed to limp onto the shoulder (thank god I was not on the highway). Car would not rev up or move. I turned the engine off, and restarted it. Everything seemed to be fine at that point, but I am very afraid of this happening during my daily commute on a busy highway.

When placing vehicle in park, warning indicates transmission is still in drive gear and unable to safely shut down engine. This problem is intermittent and occurs when reverse was last drive gear used. Frequency of the problem is about 1 in 50. Each time it is required to restart vehicle and place transmission into drive then back to park to correct. Due to use of hand brake there has been no instances of the vehicle moving uncontrolled.

Gear case is too close to the catalytic converter and the gear fluid is heating up and blowing out of the breather tube. Gear case holds 12 oz of fluid and no way to tell how much is still left inside. Could damage the transmission. I was told by the Ford dealership that this equipment should never have to be fixed or replaced. It is a Ford design flaw. Ford company will not accept responsibility.

While driving we lost all power and the wrench icon with "see manual" appeared on the dash. The wrench icon is a powertrain fault alert. It's obviously dangerous to lose power while driving and be stuck in traffic and with our children in the car it's a little more nerve-racking. Pressing the gas does nothing to the rpms when this happened. The engine was idling rough and sputtering. (plenty of gas in the car). Car has been towed to the dealer. When I started the car for the tow truck, the alert was gone and the car was able to drive. Very strange and the car can't be trusted right now.

Stepping on the gas will not ship to higher gear - seems stuck in 1 or second gear is this a shaft linkage issue? - I see a recall.
