2018 Ford Edge with 2. 0 ecoboost engine over heating leaking coolant into cylinders caused engine failure. Lucky this did not catch fire. Ford knows the issue and will not put out a recall. Very dangerous and disgusting business practice.

The pre-collision camera stopped working. I was given a notice on my dashboard and had to repeat cancel 2 warnings that that indicated the front collision camera was no longer working. I brought it to g stone Ford dealership in vermont , which confirmed the camera had to be replaced. Because of the seriousness of the defective camera, I did have to have it replaced. I was concerned that the camera broke down much too early, as my mileage was only 20,235 miles. The invoice that shows it was replaced is number #10921. The car has never been in an accident.

The contact owns a 2018 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked, the contact became aware that the rearview mirror and the instrument panel were inoperable. The contact stated that the rearview image appeared blank, and the instrument panel appeared blank while starting the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the apim module had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 109,000.

I recently bought this vehicle July 3, 2025 I have got it diagnosed and I have got everything replaced that was needed I have got a replacement battery, started, and alternator checked by different people everyone is saying they are good. But I keep getting "battery saver-system off please turn ignition off or start the engine" and it has shut down completely while I was in traffic and hesitant while driving and when I turn on the truck it says "sync performing scheduled system maintenance " and it has a loading bar underneath it. At this point I do not know what else to do please help !!!!.

7/2/25-I was driving about 20 miles per hour when suddenly my car went into a type of limp/idle mode. It shut the car down to an idle, a wrench light came on my dash then the car started to shake. I coasted into a driveway and turned the car off. I turned it back on after 5min and it was fine. 7/16/25-I was driving about 30mph and all of a sudden my car goes into this idle mode again. I got the car to coast over into a turning lane. It lost power down to an idle, wrench came up on dash again then the car started to shake. I turned the car off and back on and it was fine. I’m very scared to drive my car bc I don’t know when this will happen again. It could be when I’m turning in front of another vehicle, driving on the expressway or just normal streets or if someone was behind me and wasn’t able to react appropriately bc my car goes into this idle mode so fast that I don’t know how to keep from having an accident myself. 7/17/25-I took it to a machanic and they hooked it to a computer but nothing showed up as being wrong. They drove it several times but they couldn’t get it to do what I’m explaining what it does. After researching the issue, I believe it may be my electric throttle body etb that Ford acknowledged was an issue and had a customer satisfaction program cps (csp 13n03) from Ford for etb replacement on certain 2009-2013 ,. * jels, sometimes extended into the early 2014 model. * electronic throttle body failure * ??Ford etbs from this era are notoriously bad. * ??carbon buildup, worn internal sensors, or electronic glitches cause the throttle to stick or respond erratically. * ??the pcm detects an unsafe throttle position ? activates fail-safe mode ? wrench light + jerking + no throttle. * ??you restart the car, and the etb re-initializes until it fails again.

My Ford Edge only has a little over 37,000 miles on it, it’s an 2020 model. Electronic throttle body went out. The car lost all power, when trying to mash the gas peddle , the power was decreasing, the engine was missing and running extremely ruff. I barely was able to get off to the side of the interstate safely. The brakes went out , my car issued 7 different power failures involving powertrain, restraints, anti-lock system , hill start, pre-collision , 2 repeated the same warning. These warnings only came on after the car lost power, not before. I had to have it towed. Since I have aaa, I had them tow it to their repair shop since it was only a few miles from where I was stranded. They replaced the throttle assembly. I tried to find out if there was a recall , no recall, but there has been class action suits against Ford for this same reason.

While driving my rpm's dropped to 0 and my car stalled out. I was able to drive home by doing this a few more times. Then white smoke starting coming out of the exhaust and it smelled like fireworks. No warning lights came on and my Ford pass app did not indicate there was a problem. I had it towed to aaa then had to have it towed to dealership. They told me I needed a complete new engine. It is a 2019 Edge titanium with 4 cylinder 2. 0l ecoboost turbo with 38997 miles! they started it was due to coolant intrusion. The 2018 Edge has a recall for this exact issue but not the 2019!! $12691. 17 to replace the engine!.

Overheating && electrical !!!! it’s been over heating since I got the dealership fixed it free of charge I’m still having the same problem I looked it up there are 3 recalls that’s I’m having the exact same problems with.

Last week my back up camera said there was a system error and only works sometimes now. I almost hit somebody because it started showing it was working and then it went black and then wouldn’t work again. I also have a video where it starts to show me backing up and then cuts out to being black and seeing contact your dealership. I did contact the dealership and they said there is not a recall in regards to my car specifically.

I went to back up, and the screen is either pitch black, or very distorted. It happens frequently.

Torque converter transmission! the whole car shudders when going from 10mph to 25/30mph. Shudder/shaking while accelerating low mileage @ 67k miles.

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.

Please see attached letter.

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.

Back up camera goes blank sometimes and sometimes has lines running through it like rewinding an old vhs tape.

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.

Purchase this vehicle at 30,000 miles have problems with it since day one with the abs rear brake dragging I've done had two abs control modules replaced the abs control pump the torque converter because the brakes are tearing the torque converter out of it from all the strain. It does it intermittently. All of the repairs have been done through Ford they had to replace the when the brake rotors the calipers brake pads because of how hot the brake system is getting. The brakes will start dragging which will heat up the brake system and they will start putting herself in a bind. Four don't know what's causing it they said they think it could be an electrical issue that's causing the abs control module to go hay wire and I wasn't getting any codes at all. Except once and it's in walt's communication that abs control module a. This problem is going to get myself or my family or your family killed on the roads.

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?.

1. My safety system/camera system is no longer working properly. The screen displays either a black/blank screen, an inverted (upside down) image, or an image that appears to be zoomed in to a very small viewing area. The alerts (beeping) does not function consistently when backing up. The horn does not always work. At times the entire electrical display including the sound system will reset without prompting. The back door hatch will actively close even when there is something in the opening. 2. Safety is at risk because the video system is in place as a secondary alert system to prevent accident or injury. The horn is a necessary item. If the electrical system should reset during operation this could cause an accident. The rear hatch could cause injury if it does close. 3. These issues have been witnessed by other people, but not in a dealership or service center because these places charge outrageous fees. 4. No inspection done by manufacturer/police/insurance. At time of state regulated inspection all aspects pertinent to that were functional 5. These issues began over a year ago with camera malfunction, the other issues have become present throughout that time.
