Wiper problems of the 2013 Ford Edge

The rear view camera image suddenly became inverted (upside down) and the guide lines normally displayed disappeared. This defect appears permanent. Due tot the camera malfunction it is easy to be disoriented and collide with object behind the vehicle. On several occasions I ran into parking lot dividers and planters.

Rear view (back up) camera works only on and off. The screen goes black and a warning to contact the dealer shows up. It is getting more and more frequent lately. I am having a very hard time in crowded parking lots. Now it has stopped completely.

Rearview camera display is upside down.

The driver side passenger "door ajar" sensor stays on constantly and is unsafe because we aren't sure if the door is truly open or not? we are scared to have passengers sit on that side of the vehicle for fear of the door flying open and causing injury by falling out or other injury because the sensor does not tell us accurately as to whether the door is truly closed all the way or not. It also drains the battery over time due to constantly being on. This problem has been going on for 2 years. We had it looked at by a mechanic. We were told they can replace the sensor, but it would likely go out again because this is a manufacturer defect, and a well known problem for Ford Edges as well as other Ford models, but they refuse to issue a recall. This is extremely unsafe. The other safety concern I have is the need for a recall on our VIN specific rear view camera. The screen went blank and then, when it came back on, the image is flipped upside down and has vertical lines across the screen making it extremely difficult to see. This is a crucial component to safety. This happened approximately 1 year ago. This is extremely unsafe as we can back over and kill someone if we don't go super slow and intensely observe the camera while in reverse. This is even more dangerous in poorly lit places. There were no warnings or sensors indicating a problem with the camera. It just went blank and then permanently flipped the image upside down.

The first issue I am having is that the vehicle is telling me to put my car in park when it’s already in park. This has been going on for many months now. My second issue is when I fill my tank to full and try to start it, it has a hard time turning over. This has been going on for many months now. My third issue is that my front wipers will not turn off no matter what I do. And it’s been weeks. The fourth issue I have is that two of my tires keep leaking air since I have purchased a vehicle from the dealership and I have had it in and they claim they sealed it but they are still leaking. So I constantly have to fill them up with air. This has been going on since I bought it from the dealership.

Light keeps coming on while driving, saying left passenger door is not closed. Shortly after that started the wipers started coming on by themselves once the car is started. We do not have automatic wipers. While looking online to try to figure out why this was happening, discovered many other people had the same problem on this year, make & model. There should be a recall on this since there are so many!.

My 2013 Ford Edge has been having issues with the driver's door latch sensor. The sensor does not work properly and the vehicle computer is constantly thinking that my door is ajar. It illuminates the interior lights causing distractions and safety issues for me trying to drive and other drivers around me, especially since I work 3rd shift and do a lot of nighttime driving. It has drained my battery numerous times due to it setting my alarm off intermittently because it all of the sudden thinks my door is open when I have it parked. I have read so many complaints of this issue. This should have been a recall by Ford years ago as this is a safety hazard. Ford sent a letter out stating that they would do a one-time courtesy fix for people having this problem, however, they listed requirements for mileage and age of vehicle that you had to meet to have them fix it. So even though I have owned this car since 35,000 miles, they told me that I didn't qualify. Ford is not going to step up on their own and be responsible about this, they need it to be forced on them to do so.

Cars door says it's open while driving even when it's closed completely. Also wipers don't swipe up and down.

While driving on hwy 2 in wenatchee, wa at 5pm on October 2, 2019 my sunroof exploded. The sunroof was closed at the time. There were no overpasses or cars near me when this happened. The weather was partly cloudy and around 72 degrees. I was driving approximately 60 mph.

Rear camera intermittently fails. The camera operates fine at times, but in many cases, an error appears on the screen indicating the camera is inoperative. I have attempted to stop the car , put it in park, then reverse to see if it woukd reset. It does nit reset. There are times when the camera initially operates but fails as I back up. I have been to Ford dealer and they say that the camera must be replaced. Don't quite get that - why will the camera work fine during knee attempt to backup and then fail during next attempt to backup! the problem began last summer (summer of 2019).

No set time the brakes fails. Goes to the floor instead of stopping and it doesn't matter what rate of speed you're traveling. Even after thinking Ford fixed it I almost got into an accident because the brakes failed. Ford fixed it by doing a flush, cost charged me a lot of money for nothing or they don't know what they're doing.

The rear wiper stays on even though the switch is in off position. It happens while the vehicle is in motion and while stationary.

The windshield wipers on my Ford Edge stay on at all times when the vehicle is turned on. This caused my windshield wiper to fly off and break. This is a safety hazard and very disturbing while driving. I had to put a towel on the metal part to go back home to keep the metal from scraping and ruining my windshield.

The wipers randomlyturn on when switch is in off position.

Driving on interstate highway at 70 miles per hour on straight level and smooth section of highway when a sudden loud explosion occurred, and glass could be heard falling. Driver stopped to assess damage. Glass had shattered around the perimeter of the stationary portion of the panoramic sunroof. There was no flying road debris at the time of the incident. There was no apparent evidence of impact. This appears to be either a problem with the manufacturing of the glass or the way in which it is attached to the vehicle. Temperature was near freezing and warming.

Rear door sensor will not go off, results in dome light staying on running battery down. Wipers will not shut off.

The door adjar stays on while driving leaving light dome on causing visibility problems at night. When I get home I always have a hard time closing my door for the light dome to turn off. My battery already died had to buy a new battery and the car was purchased brand new in 2013! a battery should not die that soon! all because this door adjar. Please have this recalled. Also. I had this problem fixed for a minute when I took the car to get checked at Ford when it was still in warranty! they fixed it for the time being but it started to happen again. And my warranty is over!.

The door ajar switch is not working correctly, my interior and exterior lights stay on after I lock the doors, the door ajar chime rings the whole time I'm driving. This impedes visibility, attention, and could have adverse safety consequences.

My wipers constantly swipe.

Door ajar light stays on even when door is closed. This keeps dome lights on and side mirror lights along with the doors not locking which is a secure/safety issue. Also the fact that the dome light can blind the driver at night and this runs the battery down. Ford dealerships say its a known defect for new and used vehicles and I opened up a case with Ford and they refuse to offset the costs to fix it. They just say keep your receipt in case they ever do a recall. There is a petition on line because it affects so many people. Ford needs to address this to avoid lawsuits! its a burden to consumers because the cost to fix is over $500 at a dealership. This happens when stationary and in motion. My wife and baby almost ran off the road because the light won't go off at night and blinds her view. Plus it has left her stranded at work with a dead battery. See link for details. . Read more...

Door latch malfunction. Door is properly closed but sensor doesn't communicate to computer. Dome lights stays on, door ajar warning- drains battery when not being driven. Doors will not lock/stay locked when vehicle is in motion. Poor visibility when reversing in the dark as dome light stays on and reflects on windows. Online research shows this is a very common problem with this vehicle- it is a safety issue that the doors will not stay locked when the car is in motion.

Tl-the contact owns a 2013 Ford Edge. The contact stated while driving approximately 60 mph, the defroster became inoperable the failure recurred on one occasion. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where that it was diagnosed that the a/c module had to be reprogrammed. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 42,000. Sh.

Door ajar drivers side will not go off, lights remain on, unable to get them off. Inability to lock doors, dome light remains on causing night driving hazard, false door ajar prevents driver from knowing real door ajar situation.

Rear windshield shattered completely for no reason. There was no apparent external factor involved.

2013 Ford Edge with 30,000 miles on it. Door ajar alarm and light come on after vehicle is underway. Overhead lights come on blinding driver at night. Lights and switch remain on despite repeated attempts to slam door while driving. Smell of gasoline while idling indicates fuel leaking from system posing fire hazard. Defective parts create dangerous situation for driver and passengers.

Purchased my 2013 Ford Edge in August 2013. Car has 9300 miles on it. Last night the car was parked outside for 90 minutes. When we got back to the car, we noticed the back window was shattered. The window did not look like anything had hit it. The window shattered outward. If something had it the window, the window would have shattered inward into the car. When we left the car the outside temp was 77 when we got back to the car 90 minutes later, the outside temp was 70. So as near as we can figure out the window just shattered on its own.

Door ajar light comes on when door is obviously closed. It can take up to 10-15 slams to get the light to go off. Annoying alert tone goes off until it's closed and dome light stays on. Also, car will not lock if door does not register as closed. This problem has persisted for over a year, but oddly goes away during the winter months. Just now, my windsheild wipers won't turn off. I don't know if these issues are related, but it all seems electrical in nature.

The contact owns a 2013 Ford Edge. The contact stated while driving approximately 50 mph the chrome on the steering wheel was blinded the driver and passengers vision. The vehicle was taken to a dealer who recommended she tint the windows. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure and current mileage was 2,000.

A crack developed in the lower left corner of the windshield (could have been started by a rock strike). Every time the defrosters were run (it was very cold weather), the crack would spread. It spread all the way to the opposite right corner in less than a week.
