Electrical System Problems of Ford Edge - part 2

Driving home from work, I noticed a warning light indicating that the car was overheating. I stopped and realized the coolant tank was empty, so I immediately put some coolant in and continued driving home. The next day, the car wouldn't start, and after I checked the engine oil, it was contaminated with water. I called a Ford dealer for repair, and they don't want to take responsibility.

Is cutting out when going, camera is failing, heated mirrors are not working, 10 codes are showing up on mechanics scan tool. Took to Ford dealership they disregarded my concern and only changed differential fluid for a weird sound concern that is already on a recall but didn’t include this VIN and didn’t check for any other diagnosis. Been to 3 shops nobody is figuring it out.

2011 Ford Edge backup camera system stopped working correctly in March 2025. The camera image is upside down.

I turned my car on and a warning light of adaptive steering sensor came on. Then my steering wheel was not in the correct position while I was driving. I only have 80 thousand miles on this vehicle. I feel like this vehicle should have been included the recalls of the other 2017 Ford Edges. Adaptive steering issues. Please add my VIN # to the recall so I can fix this. I’m afraid to drive it now. Thank you for your time with this problem. I can’t afford to fix this. I was told it would cost close to 4000 dollars.

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.

Driving on the highway at night when suddenly the door alarm rings, dome light turned on causing driver to lose focus/control. Was driving at 60mph when the sensor faulted. The alarm/notification turns on at random times causing the vehicle to have the light stay on and drain battery. This is causing the driver unsure if the door is properly closed and risking the door opening in case of an accident. Problem has persisted.

My battery savor comes on 2 times a week my battery came with my cat not even 3 years old.

When I am putting my vehicle in reverse the camera at times has blacked out froze or even turned a weird color with lines on the screen I know there was recall for this but my VIN was not included.

Rear view camera shows an inverted image when drive placed in reverse. It's a safety issue when backing up.

The apim has a known software issue that blanks out the main display and control screen. While not a safety issue for the radio. It does eliminate the climate control system. It makes it impossible to turn on, adjust or turn off defrosters. So if windows start to fog there is no control. The results are attempting to navigate to the side of the road. Secondly this is draining the battery shutting down systems. Ford is aware of the issue and tells dealers they hope a software update in first quarter 2025. This is an over the air software update that will not be able to be downloaded due to system shut downs.

The screen just completely goes white off and on no matter when you’re driving. I turned the car off and on, and it still would do it. . I don’t know why it happens. Sometimes it also won’t even connect to bluetooth. . I can turn my phone off and on, and it still won’t connect to it. . Something is definitely wrong with it.

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.

2 years ago car started losing power so took to garage for tune up. Changed spark plugs. They said that I needed one of the coils changed as well. Costly job. This did not fix the issue. Took to another shop who said that the computer needed to be changed because computer was burning out the coil. Have picture of burned coil. Again, this time replaced computer and coils ( all 6 coils. $2000 fix. Almost year later again same issue. Go back to same garage, covered in warranty. Explains to me that this is something Ford is aware of and has done nothing about. Boards are shorting out coils. They replaced computer again and charged me to install. This time is lasted only 6 months. My car only has 121,000 miles on it. I should not have replaced computer 3 times in 2 years. Tell me that this is right? I cannot drive the car at all because this will cause the engine to crack. The car needs to be towed each time. Loss of power can cause accident. Scary.

For last 3+ years rear reverse camera remains blank and screen becomes unresponsive unable to use steering wheel buttons to change radio station or volume. Can get working again by performing a system reset (press seek and volume knob) took to Ford dealer for the camera recall 20c19 when recall first came out. As parts were not available, dealer stated they could not apply fix due to work schedule, finally able to reschedule in Dec 2024. After fix had been applied, reverse camera continues to stay blank and inoperable. Took back to Ford dealership. Dealership stated this was not under the recall as it is caused by a bad apim module. Warranty had expired by this time so that did not cover this either. The end failure symptom is the same as the recall but not caused by the same component therefore is not covered. Cost to replace is >$1000 so not affordable to repair. Had a few close accidents caused by the lack of reverse camera function. Vehicle is available for inspection. If the end failure is the same as that caused lack of safety requiring a recall, why would the apim module also not be replaced under recall?.

While our vehicle hasnt been in an accident yet, the issue could possibly lead into one. Our vehicle is having transmission problems. Ford knows there is an issue with the trans. I have called them an spoke to someone but I forget his name. The issue is the computer needs flashed and updated with new shifting points. At low speeds or if your barely on the gas, the trans bucks,sputters and has issues driving smooth. Our vehicle only has 85k miles on it, the issue started about 5k miles ago. I have asked the people of reddit on the issue. Many people responded saying they have gotten theres fixed or the trans goes out. Seems like its a very expensive (to me) fix and I feel as though that since it is a known issue that Ford should be the one paying to flash and update shift points on there products. Its bad enough we pay an avg of 600 a month for our vehicles. Now why cant they make it rite and fix a known issue. I dont know if you guys can help push the issue and see about getting this taken care of. All help is appreciated.

The power train fail on the expressway left lane just shut down it was very dangerous. A Ford dealer service department concluded that the true temperature of transmission fluid was not reading over heating but the fluid it’s self read overheated… also the reported that the transmission fluid was spewing out and had pieces of metal in it. As well as the internal computer not running as it should.

Vehicle started making a repetitive "rubbing" noise and I smelled something burning, but unlike burnt rubber, it was a burning smell I've never encountered before. I was going about 35mph at the time this began. Within about 500ft, I slowed down as I approached an intersection and the vehicle stalled just as I was entering the intersection. There were no warning lights. I put it in park and attempted to restart it a couple times with no luck, then the third time I pressed and held the button, and it took about 4 seconds to start (seemed to struggle). On another occasion, I had just filled up my tank at a gas station, started my car, drove about 10 feet, then the car stalled. This time it restarted without issue. The dealership was unable to duplicate the problem, they were willing to try again after I explained that recall 20s49 sounded similar to the problem I was having, but I didn't end up leaving my car with them because of the cost of the diagnosis and loaner car. I believe my VIN should have been recalled, as there is clearly something wrong, but since it is not in the system as a recall and I don't have the money to troubleshoot it, I am planning to sell the car to Ford, as I cannot, in good conscience, sell to a private buyer when I believe the vehicle may stall. I figure if I sell to Ford, it puts the liability of the defect back in their hands, where it belongs.

Put gas in car. The car stalls to crank.

My warning sign on the screen always says door ajar, when it is shut, causing me to have to drive with inside lights on, and the bell ringing every so often reminding me, my door is a jar, for the intire trip.

1) my rear view camera is disoriented when car is in reverse. Sometimes the picture on the screen is upside down or doesnt show anything at all. 2) drivers seat belt does not clip in correctly. I have to push the red button in for the seat belt to clip into place.

The contact's father owns a 2014 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while he was driving at approximately 65 mph, the "door open" alarm and chime was sounding, indicating that the driver's side door was open. The contact observed that the driver's side door was closed. The contact pulled off the highway, stopped the vehicle, and turned off and restarted the vehicle several times and the alarm turned off. The contact stated that her father related that the failure was recurring and additionally, the door locks were unlocking independently, and that the driver's side door keypad was constantly illuminated, causing the battery to be drained. The contact had not taken the vehicle to a local dealer or independent mechanic. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 190,000.

Screen went black, had to replace the computer behind the screen for 1,500 dollars.

In June of 2022, the vehicle was exhibiting symptoms of hard to start especially after refueling, stalling, and poor drivability and the check engine light was illuminated. This vehicle was taken to local Ford dealer (dowling Ford- cheshire, CT) and diagnosed as a faulty fuel vapor separator (aka purge valve/solenoid) Ford part # f2gz-9d289-a. The dealer performed diagnosis/repair/replacement of this part at a total cost of approximately $600. The problem appeared to have been fixed, but now on 10/15/2024 the same issue re-appeared, and once again the dealer has determined same part has failed and now will cost $729 for diag/repair/replacement. This repair is just outside of the 2 year parts and labor warranty provided by Ford and/or dealer. According to my online research this is a well known and common problem with these vehicles as well as many other similar Ford vehicles which a recall has been issued for, and driver/occupant safety is gravely affected because this issue can cause stalling, poor throttle response, inability to start, and general poor driveability which seriously affects safety and cause a crash or cause driver to be unable to avoid a crash or other danger. Ford motor CO and Ford dealer refuses to accept responsibility for this issue and will not offer any assistance for repair. As of 10/29/24 the vehicle has not been repaired yet, and vehicle and parts are available for inspection.

Now have had my battery replaced twice for some weird reason my car keeps dying when nothing appears to to have been left on inside the vehicle. My Ford Edge titanium 2018 has the settings that shit down the wngine with a 30 second shut down and same with anything left in it shuts it off. So why is my car constantly dying with a new battery is my vehicle pat if the 80 something Ford Edges that has connection issues with the alternator etc. Please help with already two recalls that my vehicle has but can’t be replaced due to parts not ready for repairs by Ford. Help!!!.

Rearview camera display is upside down.

The back up camera quit working about 6 months ago for a short time. Then it worked for about a week then stopped working completely. I had a message on the screen stating to bring it to the dealership. At that point the backup sensors were still working. Until about a week ago they quit completely. Now I get a warning to check the sensors but there is nothing stuck in or on the sensors. Now the entire back up system and sensors no longer work at all.

I currently have an few issues to report. When I press on the brakes, they make an air whistling sound and there’s nothing noticeably wrong with them. I’m also having problems with electrical on my screen and it won’t always connect with my phone and it also delays on the screen when it’s powering on or off. My tires have been leaking air since I purchased my vehicleand when I took it in, they said Ford mechanics said they sealed the valves but right when I got it back, it gave me a warning that I had low air pressure in my tires once again and my vehicle tires appeared like they were still low on air. I constantly have to fill them with air when I drive it. Every day they leak. But my biggest concern is the electrical and the brakes. I don’t know the exact date on when the electrical started acting up. I’m also curious if there’s been a recall on anything to do with the defrost on the windows because my windows do not defrost very well in our cold climate. I’m also wondering about the headlights. They seem like they’re not bright enough we’re just strange because they’re clear and there’s nothing obstructing them that’s noticeable. For safety I believe they should be a lot brighter than they are. I have not been in any car accidents and no one hit my vehicle.
