Intermittently the seat heater for the drivers seat activates on its own. Goes to full heat getting extremely hot. Cannot initially turn down or off with the button on dash. Have to turn off vehicle and let it sit. Start vehicle - seat heater still on full. Sometimes the off/start sequence has to be repeated several times, before the button will work, lowering or turning off the seat heater. Incidents are increasing in frequency. Now taking more off/starts to get the seat heater to deactivate. Last incident. 5 off/start sequences over an 8-10 minute period.
I was driving on the freeway, when all of the sudden the driver seat started to move by itself, and the door locks started locking and unlocking by itself.
The contact owns a 2015 Ford Edge. The contact stated that the track underneath the front driver’s side seat had a sharp Edge, which cut her ankle. The contact had a cut on the back of the right calf but did not seek medical attention. An appointment with the dealer was scheduled to inspect the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.
Issue 1: when ambient air temperatures are above 85 degrees the engine shutters,accelerates very slowly and the engine light flashes. This happens consistently on short and long trips without any warning. Issue 2: ventilated/cooled seats do not work when ambient air temperatures are above 75 degrees.
From the date we bought our Ford Edge we have had white particles, dust and dirt coming in from all of the door seals and rear back hatch. The white particles are all through the vehicle. There is a brown dust or dirt on the top of the passenger seat and rear passenger seat and on the head rests for both seats. The dirt and dust makes me cough a lot, ( no one has ever smoked in the car ). It feels like we are inside of a vacuum cleaner disposable bag. We believe none of the seals on any of the doors work properly. When we first got the car, a burning smell was coming from the passenger side of the vehicle. A new exhaust system was put on the car a month after we bought it. That problem with the burning smell went away. We were told by the fourth dealership that we took the vehicle to that all the seals on the doors and back hatch would have to be replaced, but that never came about. So here we sit with all the white dust and dirt. We believe the cabin filters are not working. So the dust and the dirt are also coming in through all of the vents in the vehicle.
Tl-the contact rented a 2015 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while driving 70 mph, she noticed the seat becoming very hot and uncomfortable. The contact turned off the heated seats and learned later that night that her skin was blistered. The contact required medical attention. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure.
