Failure Date: 11/15/2022

Upon stopping at intersection I began to accelerate to proceed through intersection and no warning light on dash came on as my vehicle wouldn’t go into drive.

This could have been a very big tragedy at this or any similar situation.

I told him I had mechanical breakdown coverage he called me back saying the claim for coverage was denied when I had talked to them they were waiting for the dealership to call over with necessary repairs information. So I already knew he was being deceptive she and dishonest. I asked him to email me a list of itemized by repairs that needed to be done to the office so I could see what I could afford.

16 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 10/01/2021

I have had issues with this car since a few months from me getting it. My rear camera wouldn't work half the time and sometimes turns the images upside down. My heat and cooling system started malfunctioning and the driver's side doesn't blow or temp the same as the passenger side. It has been like that at least 2 of the 4 years I have had this car and have taken it in multiple times and spent thousands of dollars to get it fixed and it is still not fixed and no one can seem to tell me the problem. My car also restarts itself and it won't turn off. A couple of months into getting the car, my car literally shut off while I was on the freeway and I had to pull over. Restart it. I took it in to Ford and they said it was fine. Throughout the last 4 years, my car has restart itself without me autostarting it! it is not a push start car! the engine won't turn off half the time when I take the key out or it turns off then restarts itself and it won't turn off. My car won't lock when it restarts itself. I have also taken my car in multiple times for the electrical system. Reading that there has been multiple complaints about a lot of the issues I am having with my car, not only is it a major safety hazard, but Ford should have done recalls. It is quite ridiculous that they haven't when they are aware of multiple cars having these same issues. I have almost caused several car accidents because of the electrical issues and I don't feel safe driving my vehicle. I shouldn't have to keep spending thousands of dollars and the issues aren't resolved or they keep saying they don't know. There is clearly a lot of faulty issues with the 2014 Ford Edge model and there needs some recalls that need to be issued. My car should not start slowing down automatically on the freeway then shut down. I have had to replace my battery and alternator in less than a year of owning it with only 40,000 miles of it. There have been way too many issues to have had less than 100,000 miles on it.

Failure Date: 06/21/2021

Driving down the hwy, lost all acceleration. Engine still alive, had power, radio, air etc had to coast to the side of the road. Restarted car after a few minutes and problem resolved.

18 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 09/20/2020

My car has completely shut off while driving 70 mph on the highway!! a wrench icon lights up on the dash board. I can barely coast to the side of the road before car comes to a complete stop. I was sooo afraid of being killed! the mechanic checked and says there is nothing wrong with my car. It has happened 4 more times. The car starts up after I can put it in park and drives like nothing happened until the next incident. Who will have to die before Ford finds the problem?.

25 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 10/03/2018

Ford Edge with 58,000 miles was being driven by wife. While traveling at 50-55 miles per hour, the vehicle showed a wrench icon and decelerated immediatly to 5mph in the middle of rush hour traffic in the left lane. The loss of power put the car into limp mode where my wife had to try to get to the side of the road. The ignition was turned off, then back on and the car drove fine afterwards. The sudden loss of propulsion is very scary espically right after dropping your 1 year old off at daycare who could have been in the car. We have researched this and found many other vehicles with this defect possibly throttle body. After turning the car off, all codes were erased so the only way to get the car checked for the issue would be to straight from Ford "drive until the error happens again".

Failure Date: 05/05/2018

While driving 55 mph on the highway, accelerator suddenly stopped working, wrench light came on, and engine went into limp home mode. It was very unsafe trying to cross lanes to get off of highway as car slowed very rapidly. This is the same action associated with the well documented throttle body problem Ford has had with other models. Once off the road, motor was shut off and restarted which made the problem go away but unfortunately erased any error codes that may have been generated.

On a clear, sunny, Sunday drove from 9:00 am northwest of austin, texas about 250 miles with several stops along the way to 3:00 pm. Entering galveston, texas. No problems of any kind along the way. Entering town, driving straight and level along road in clear weather, dry smooth road about 30 mph. Engine suddenly quit - dead. Coasted into (fortunate) parking lot. Noted bright red oil pressure light came on while coasting - other lights also but could not read them due to stressful situation. Checked oil level in parking lot - full and normal. Tried starting engine - started right up with no problem. Started and stopped engine several times - all with no problem.

34 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 08/27/2015

While driving, the speed was around 50mps the vehicle made a notice on the dash that said "low oil pressure" . It then at the same moment slowed down from 50 to 0 within about 50 feet and completely lost power steering almost causing a fatal crash with a child in the car. The vehicle is back at the dealership where it was purchased at and has been evaluated for malfunctions. Although the dealership service has not said anything about what happen or what the problem was and I feel extremely uncomfortable even going somewhere with my family knowing this has happen once. I need to have this problem rectified before a fatal crash takes me and my family out. What can we do about getting a recall on this?.
