general problems of the 2014 Ford Edge

While driving at approximately 10 mph I attempted to make a left hand turn. Something popped in my front end causing my vehicle to immediately pull to the left and into a landscaping rock. The incident caused the entire wheel and left front side to completely break. Air bags did not deploy.

The power take off assembly (ptu) failed. I had it replaced a a Ford dealership with a genuine Ford ptu. After driving less than 125 miles the ptu failed again and my right front half shaft disengaged without notice on the high when traveling at highway speeds. Upon return to the dealership they noted that the ptu failed and it was replaced at no cost. However, they charged me for the replacement of the right front axel. I contacted Ford customer service and contend that recall 14s10 should apply especially after the new ptu failed. They denied my claiming stating that the dealership claimed a torn cv boot was the cause of my axel disengaging. However there was no mention of a torn cv boot in the dealerships multipoint inspection of my vehicle when originally brought in. Ford customer service and the dealership denied my claim.

I bought this vehicle brand now. The Edge only has 69k miles on it and I have replaced the front and back brakes (rotors, pads, calibers) 3 times (yes. . . 3 times). I also had to recently (in 2023) replace the muffler, left and right outer tierods, left and right front wheel bearings and hubs. Now: April 2023: my front brakes are pulsating and I brought the vehicle back to my mechanic for a complete vehicle check overall which the mechanic documented: power steering return line is rotted (cost $175). A/c condenser is leaking and needs to be replaced/recharged (cost $1050). Driveshaft issue/vibration @ 50 mph: need to remove the rear driveshaft and inspect: if needs to be replaced: $4500. Replace front and read brake pads/rotors/calibers ($1600). . . Which would be #4 for replacement. Replacement of right rear parking brake cable ($205). ***I previously wrote a complaint several years ago (for the same VIN#). . . This is just an update and I am requesting Ford to review and demand a recall. The 2014 Edge has been a money pit for me and it only has 69k in mileage. If there was a way I could seek reimbursement I would. I will never buy a Ford again.

Damaged antifreeze pump this can cause a very severe overheating on the road, transfer box and transmission make a very uncomfortable noise when turning to both sides I don't feel safe when handling rear differential the same problem (I've already replaced it).

I was out of town on the by pass went over a rr track slowly then took back off and heard a popping noise, went about 4 more miles and turned off as soon as I straighten my steering wheel out to head on down the road a big pop and my car stopped hard and jerked us and motor rev up. Got out to see what happened. My front tire was sideways. I’m so glad I had just turned off the by pass (60 mph) and was going slow. The axle and ball joint broke. It scared me to think what could have happened to us.

The a/c system does not respond to temperature control. It stays ice cold. The suspension squawks and clanks when brakes are applied and the steering wheel turns.
