general problems of the 2014 Ford Edge

The seat feels like it’s leaning to the right and rocks back on start and rocks forward on stop. Please advise if this is part of a larger issue.

The seat rocks back and forth on takeoff and stop. Self inspected and found cracked square tubing on frame of seat. Car does not feel safe to me to drive. Car has never been in accident to my knowledge. Was purchased used.

Driver power seat tilts backward suddenly when accelerating or backing causing driver to lose control of the vehicle.

When you are driving and braking, the pedal is very strong and the car hardly stops.

Driver door ajar light remains on when door is completely closed and interior lights remain on. Safety hazard when driving at night also a drain on the battery. Vehicle was stationary when problem occurred but could not resolve and had to drive with interior lights on at night.

When accelerating, the driver's seat rocked upward and I almost lost control of the car. The rear of the seat remained attached to the rail. The diagnosis per the Ford dealer was that the seat rails were faulty and needed to be replaced. This is a 2014 model car, and I have never had such an issue after over 40 years of driving.

Drivers side seat and passenger seat appear to be loose and rock back and forth when starting and stopping quick and it has been reported to the dealership several times at service and nothing seems to be done to fix it and it has been that way since the vehicle was purchased and it had warranty left at that time and also extended warranty was purchased in 2016.

This problem has been confirmed to exist in both a 2011 and a 2014 Ford Edge. With a passenger weighting 72-75 lbs in the front passenger seat, the air bag turns on and off depending on how the passenger is sitting on the seat. This same passenger has traveled almost 50,000 miles in a 2011 mustang which has a similar sensor system and has never had the air bag turn on. We are able to reproduce this problem at will. This information suggests a problem in the Ford Edge with the software that monitors the front passenger seat sensors and determines when to turn on the front passenger air bag. This was reported to Ford on 07/22 and we checked on it on 09/23 and there was no update, indicating that they have not taken any action on this.
