Electrical System Problems of Ford Edge - part 2

My Ford Edge will lock us out while it is running with the key fob in the car, in the center console. It will lock you out if you are standing outside the car after you unlock the doors, with the keys in your hand. It will continue to lock itself back after you unlock it, before you even get a door open. It has done this numerous times. I have called and complained about it but received no help. I even made a complaint through Ford and the dealership where we are buying the Edge from. They were no help at all, not even with an extra key fob. We have an autistic child, and what is going to happen when I step out of the car to get him out and my doors lock with him in the car? we need answers and help with this problem! we can't afford to take our Edge and pay a lot of money for an issue that should not be happening at all. I have a case # that was given to me where I called gm cxh-06543205-h8k1j9.

On Dec 11, 2025, the driver’s heated seat in my 2013 Ford Edge overheated within minutes of activation, causing first- and second-degree burns to the occupant. The vehicle was inspected on March 18, 2026 and escalated for management review, but the manufacturer failed to provide the promised follow-up by March 26, 2026, and the defect remains unresolved, posing an ongoing risk of injury. No problems prior to ever using the heated seats.

Climate control system turns off automatically without driver input. This causes loss of heating or cooling while driving and requires repeated manual reactivation. Issue occurs randomly while driving and has happened multiple times. Restarting the vehicle does not consistently resolve the problem.

The vehicle’s touchscreen activates functions on its own without being touched (“ghost touch”). While driving, the screen intermittently selects menus, changes settings, and activates features without driver input. This causes distraction and requires the driver to look away from the road to correct unintended changes. The issue occurs unpredictably and repeatedly, while in motion and standing still, indicating a malfunction of the touchscreen or related electronic system and presents a safety concern due to driver distraction.

Was told by mechanic that my engine has a coolant leak and has caused engine failure. The car has been jerking whenever I accelerate. The remote start does not function from my key fob and I have been unable to pair the Ford pass app with that. The usb ports for android auto also don't seem to work. If I drive over a small bump on the road, it disconnects my phone from android auto. I then have to unplug the cable then replug back into my phone or the usb port to hopefully get it to work again.

The contact owns a 2018 Ford Edge. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the infotainment system screen displayed both the forward and rearview images simultaneously. In addition, the contact stated that the buttons on the infotainment system were lagging and were sometimes inoperable while pressed. The vehicle was taken to an unknown dealer, where the contact was informed that the failure was related to an unrepaired recall. The dealer declined to inspect the vehicle at the time. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact later received a call from the dealer to schedule the recall repair for June 2026, when the parts were scheduled to be available. The contact stated that the vehicle was unsafe to drive with the forward and rearview images displayed on the infotainment system screen simultaneously, and the contact could not wait until June 2026. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 25v572000 (back over prevention); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, but no assistance was provided. The contact was informed that the failure was not related to the unrepaired recall. The failure mileage was approximately 74,000.

The push button start stopped functioning and the car could not be started, leaving me stranded late at night. This problem was inspected by tamiami Ford, naples, florida in April, 2025 and the dealer could not determine the cause or fix it. Meanwhile, the intermittent problem is now frequent and the car is totally unreliable.

The vehicle was sluggish to reverse as I left my office but after I left it was operating normally to gas station about 3 miles away. I stopped at gas station to fuel up. After, I started car and it would not go back in reverse. When I shifted from park back to reverse, it moved maybe 5". Was sputtering and clanking. I drove forward maybe 2', while sputtering, jerking, and clanking. I managed to make it home (<3 miles) and on shifting it wanted to stall, and on braking it was sputtering, jerking, and clanking with downshifting. At home, when I put it in reverse, I got an error message "gear select will engage at low speeds", and as I tried to reverse, the car went forward almost causing me to crash into my house. After several attempts to back up and begin to go out of my drive, it was sputtering and jerking too much so I decided to try to reverse back to the carport, and it would not move. It sits where it stopped.

Computer screen does not work all the time, and the backup camera does not work, and when it does, it will stay on while moving forward. The computer screen freezes up and will not allow me to adjust the temperature or the radio and other options that are normally on the screen.

The vehicle hesitates when engaging accelerator;shifting roughly,stuttering ,mostly under 50 mph.

Transmission issuse, jerking and shuttering. Not going in reverse and then not going in park. Transmission needs replaced now.

The first incident occurred in GA on vacation in June. While my spouse was driving, he said the brakes seemed squishy and were not right. When he braked to stop the car to get gas, his foot went almost to the floor. After getting gas, I drove and they did not seem right. The second incident happened the beginning of August and I was coming down a relatively steep hill. I went to brake and my foot went all the way to the floor and did not completely stop. I took the car to my mechanic and he wasn't sure of the problem, and to another mechanic. The 2nd thought it was the brake booster. I then took it to the Ford dealership where I bought it last August and had them look at it. They said it is the abs module and that I am #829 on the list of 1300 people that need that part, that Ford has no idea when it will be available. The third incident was last sat, [xxx] and I had no brakes at all, so I had to take my husband's car to work. In all the incidents, I was at risk, as well as my family and the people driving in front & back of me. I have also had issues of the ac coming in for no reason, and after I turn it down, it turns itself back on at full blast. This car is not safe.

Rear backup camera has inverted picture and sometimes blank picture. I see recalls for newer Edge models with same problem but not the 2011. Second issue: sometimes the door ajar light is displayed on dash when doors are closed. Usually indicates driver door. Close several times and then it will finally work again. Has caused battery to run down in past if not caught before leaving vehicle. This is random as to when it happens, but I see online that it’s a common problem.

Rear view camera defective cannot see we're going into reverse.

All lights came on randomly Ford house said it was the torque converter.

10/2022 2yrs owning and around 50,000 miles the all wheel drive went out due to a sensor thats not protected from the elements and of course not covered under the warranty and $900. 00 dollars later they install a new one that wasn't updated in order to prevent this from happening again. 9/2/2025 3yrs later and 88,000 miles now the torque converter is going out which I was told by the Ford technician that they have been seeing this alot. Of course my warranty is gone even the extended one that I purchased when I purchased this car new. So to fix this manufacturer's issue will now cost me $4,000 dollars to fix. But I was told the torque converter has been updated so I shouldn't have this issue again. So they know this is a problem which I assume is the reason for the updated converter so why isn't this a recall.

I am wanting to share my concerns about my 2019 Ford Edge. My Edge has 64,500 miles on it and the transmission needs replacing; it is sitting in my back driveway. My daughter and I just made it home from a trip when the transmission gave out - when we pulled into the driveway, and it was still in gear, it put itself into park! we tried to put it in drive and reverse and again, as we were watching the gear dial - it put itself into park again! before that, I had noticed some issues about jerking and revving up so I took it to the nearest Ford dealership - after hooking it up to the computer several times (while it was under 60,000 miles on the odometer), the dealership told me that they changed a few things on the computer and 'it would drive like hell for a while, but it will get used to my driving and get better' !! after contacting them more, they told me that it needed a new throttle body. I wanted a second opinion so a friend trailered it to another Ford dealership and they tested the transmission liquids and told me that it needs a new transmission. (it was now over 60k. ) Ford said that if I would pay them $4500, they might cover the other the $4500 for the new transmission. I had my Edge for about a year when this happened and now it has been sitting in my driveway since last summer!! I am still making the monthly payment on it, plus full coverage insurance for a pretty driveway ornament. My friend found paperwork regarding transmissions like mine having troubles (and he showed it to the local dealership - they did nothing) so I have been watching for recalls on the transmission. If you have any suggestions, etc please let me know - I do not have $4500 to fix my car. . . . . . When this all started, I contacted Ford and started a case on it. (8/26/24). Case #xxx. I was told by the dealership to start it myself and keep an eye on it; but when I called Ford regarding it - they told me that the dealership should be the ones doing this. . . . . .

It is my rear view camera. I would put the vehicle in reverse and it will sometimes start to work and than it will shut off and a message comes across saying I need to contact dealership. It will sometimes come up and be upside down or I will put the vehicle in reverse and the back up camera just flashes while in use. I have not taken the vehicle to the shop. I have called and they said it sounds electrical. But the recall you just released on 2015 Ford Edges for the back up camera is the same thing that is going on with my vehicle and I have a 2013.

1am filing this complaint regarding my 2016 Ford Edge (VIN: [xxx] ), which has experienced a severe and dangerous failure. Ford has acknowledged a defect in the flexplate at the transmission bellhousing area under customer satisfaction program (csp) 22n12. This defect causes rattling noises and eventually results in flexplate cracks that can lead to sudden loss of power while driving. My vehicle is currently undrivable due to this defect. I have documentation from February 2025 (a&m auto repair, invoice #[xxx]) showing that a technician identified noise from the rear of the engine/front of the transmission area and suspected flexplate cracks at that time. Despite this, my vehicle never received the csp repair. Ford is refusing to cover the repair because my vehicle has exceeded the 120,000-mile cutoff for csp coverage. However, this is not acceptable because: •the defect was documented earlier and existed within the coverage period. •more importantly, this is a serious safety defect that can cause sudden power loss while driving, creating a high risk of accidents. •Ford has incorrectly limited the remedy under a csp with a mileage cutoff, instead of issuing a proper safety recall without mileage limits. Requested action: I am requesting NHTSA to investigate and require Ford 1. Treat the flexplate defect as a recall, not a csp. 2. Provide full repair coverage for affected vehicles regardless of mileage. 3. Ensure consumer safety is not compromised by arbitrary mileage cutoffs. In addition, my vehicle has also experienced repeated brake warning lights, which aligns with Ford’s brake hose recall (NHTSA recall 25v544). The combination of braking issues and flexplate failure creates an extremely unsafe condition. Thank you for your attention to this urgent safety matter.

When in reverse, the backup camera in my vehicle no longer functions. The view is displayed upside down which is very disorienting or the screen rapidly flashes.

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.

First it's been a great car. But out of no where my body control module started to get hot . Now it has problems starting and keeping power.

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.

The contact owns a 2016 Ford Edge. The contact stated that when the vehicle was started, the instrument cluster was black. The contact turned off and restarted the vehicle several times to reset the instrument cluster. The contact stated that the image was low quality and made seeing the speedometer and other gauges difficult. The contact had not taken the vehicle to a local dealer or independent mechanic. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact researched online and related the failure to NHTSA campaign number: 25v049000 (electrical system); however, the VIN or the model vehicle was not included.

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.
