No incident has happened yet, my complaint it that there is a safety recall that can affect the rear brake lines on my vehicle, and if the fail it could cause an accident. This vehicle is 9 years old and there still is no solution available from the manufacturer!!! this certainly doesn't seem like a timely way to address a brake related safety recall.

The rear hatch window shattered without reason. Other than the drastic change in weather overnight. There are no signs of vandalism, and the car was not near any hazards overnight. Other owners of the same make years 2021 and below reports the same exact issue.

This car I bought a year ago from the dealership has stalled out numerous times. It has been to the dealership multiple times to be fixed. The battery has been replaced along with the fuel pump twice. The car has been to the dealership several times. They can not seem to figure out the problem. I am not sure what to do. But this is becoming a hazard on the road.

Rear back up camera is inverted. Has been for many years. Ford says no fix. There has been many recalls for this problem on other model years. Why not this year, 2011.

My backup camera has the same issue as the recall for the 2021-2024 Ford Edge. Why is my year not included in the recall?.

The transmission keeps shuddering and jerking at low speeds. I have problems driving behind school buses or any slow moving vehicle. The vehicle has a problem when merging onto highways and loses acceleration power due to jerking. I have spoken to 3 separate Edge owners who all have the same problem. Some of us can't afford the repairs but these vehicles are still being sold with this known problem.

Filing complaint based on 6 months since 2 recalls filed for this vehicle and no resolution has been offered by Ford as of the time of this filing.

Transmission is jerking & shuddering TSB 21-2389 and 21-2081 however mine isn’t recalled yet and needs immediate attention it’s doing the exact same.

Rear differential failed, multiple complaints with this vehicle online but no recall yet?.

Vehicle has 78000 miles on it and has started to stutter/struggle to find gears between what I believe to be 3rd and 5th gear. It generally happens between 25-40 mph. This has consistently happened whether the vehicle is cold or warm. This, according to many forums I’ve seen, is a common issue with this model of vehicle and transmission. It was brought into my local Ford dealership on 2/17/2026 with approximately 75000 miles on it and they told us we are in need of a transmission replacement.

The rearview camera is not working.

I want to open a criminal case. A car dealer is reselling this vehicle for 8,500 dollar with odometer of 94,000 approximately. The title say over 240,000 miles. They have clearly tampered with is I have more 10 supporting evidence to show for their fraud. They have dealer license in florida and are operating used car sale here new york city bronx. I called north carolina dmv where they confirm the milage of vehicles and I have car fax as supporting evidence. I have made complain with ftc and bbb. They should be in jail.

Ford has recalled over 2. 9 million vehicles, including 2015–2018 Ford Edge models, due to a faulty transmission shifter cable bushing that can degrade and detach. This defect may prevent the vehicle from shifting into the intended gear (specifically park), creating a risk of unexpected rollaway and injury. I almost had a bad car accident my. Car was in park and started rolling backwards making this loud screeching noise this was after the recall was allegedly repaired and now they wont fix the issue and its affected the transmission. . . There were no warning messages at all. . Ford is telling me I have to pay 7,200 dollars for a repair they didn't fix properly now I cant even drive my car its still in their possession.

I was backing out of my driveway and I went about ten feet and my vehicle stopped I then put it in drive and it wouldn’t go anywhere ,I then put back in reverse and it wouldn’t go backwards either I shut the vehicle off and called triple aaa to get my vehicle towed. While I was waiting I started it up again and the I saw lit up on my dashboard awd malfunction so I shut it off again. The tow company brought my vehicle to a service station up the street so they could look at it . They diagnosed it and on January 29th they said my rear differential needed to be replaced and the cost was going to be $3500 which included labor with all the issues with Ford I checked to see if there was a recall there wasn’t but there were other people complaining about this when u look up problems with 2015 Ford Edge sel. There was no warning message prior to this happening. I do have to get this fixed it’s my only car. Please help this is extremely expensive especially for a senior citizen.

Coolant entered into the engine, causing catastrophic failure. There was no warning on the dash of low coolant or anything until it happened. By then, it was too late! this is a known problem by Ford motor company, yet they have done nothing to assist owners with repairs by offsetting costs or performing them for free!!.

At this point, I have been told to come in for a diagnostic check (my time off from work), but no parts and cannot fix it if the brake hose is leaking, my rear view camera is acting up at least on a weekly basis, can be at times more often then that, and they do not have the parts, also Ford is not making the parts at this time per warrentary employee at the dealership. ???? so consumer safety with Ford is - do not care about customer safety? I have to stop and take time for a diagnostic check, to be told yes or no if yes nothing can be done, if no let's say in a week it start to leak, again the parts are no being made at this time my recall letter is from 9/1/2025 over 5 months almost half a year and parts are not being made??? increase in stopping distance increases the risk of a crash. I thought customer safety was to protect from physical harm, Ford is not doing this so now , was I sold a lemon that cannot be fixed? try backing up from the driveway into the cudelsac and viewing for kids, and pets then all of a sudden camera jumps to moving lines and scares the crap out of you making you jump (while driving) please assist me understanding why part are not being made for these Ford Edges I know I am not the only Ford Edge on the road I see them when I am on the road. Can we please ensure not just drivers of the Ford Edge safety the to potential damage and injuries to the other vehicle or pedestrian that could be hit by these recall Ford Edges with no repairs in site or parts being made.

Have only had 2019 Ford Edge sel for just about 3yrs. . Around the middle of Nov, 2025 vehicle started sputting/jerking up to about 40mph then would drive fine at higher speeds. . . While driving over the weekend Jan 3rd 2026 vehicle started smoking extremely bad, no check engine light to let me know anything was wrong, still no lights at this time. . . Had to abruptly stop on the highway to merge over to get to the side safely thinking any minute vehicle could catch fire. Assuming it was a oil leak, had it towed to the mechanic shop where I was informed it was transmission fluid everywhere. After looking up systems I came across a forum where owners of this vehicle are calling for recall for the exact same problem. Mechanic stated take to Ford dealership bc these Edges have had transmission issues and he didn't want to replace converter or any other part then months later need new transmission which he quoted at 9600. Not only my safety was put at risk but every person on the road that day, it was smoking so bad couldn't see clearly out winshield, people honking telling me vehicle was on fire underneath. After all the chaos, fluid everywhere, smoke, burnt smell, jerking, ect. . Still no alert on dash of any kind!.

Multiple instances of being blinded completely by led headlights of oncoming vehicles. Please do something about this!.

To whom it may concern, I am writing to formally report an ongoing and concerning issue with my 2022 Ford Edge. My vehicle has begun hesitating when pressing the accelerator and jerking between 20 mph and 40 mph. Some days the issue is worse than others, but it has progressively made the vehicle feel unreliable and unsafe to drive. At times, it feels as though the vehicle may break down while in motion. After researching this issue, I have found that many other Ford Edge owners are experiencing the same symptoms, with the torque converter frequently identified as the cause. This appears to be a widespread and recurring problem rather than an isolated incident. Additionally, the vehicle will coast between approximately 2,000 and 5,000$. This behavior is not normal and raises serious concerns regarding drivability, safety, and long-term damage to the transmission. Given how common this issue appears to be among Ford Edge vehicles, I strongly believe this warrants further investigation and the establishment of a recall. Owners should not be financially responsible for a known and recurring manufacturing defect. I am requesting that Ford address this issue promptly and take responsibility for repairs associated with this problem. I appreciate your time and look forward to a resolution. Sincerely, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

At approximately 10:30 a. M. On 12/28/2025, while traveling on the highway, the panoramic sunroof of my 2019 Ford Edge sel spontaneously exploded without warning. The failure was accompanied by a sound similar to a gunshot. The weather was clear and sunny, with an ambient outdoor temperature of approximately 20°f. The vehicle had been pre-warmed, and the interior climate control was set to 73°f. There were no vehicles immediately in front of me, no overhead bridges, and no evidence of road debris or external impact. Upon the failure, the tempered glass shattered completely, the majority of the glass was forced into the passenger cabin, landing primarily in the backseat. This created an immediate safety hazard, distraction, and risk of injury from glass debris while maintaining vehicle control at high speeds. There is no "impact crater" or point of origin suggesting a rock chip as the front portion of the roof shattered completely; the glass appears to have failed due to internal tension or thermal stress. I am reporting this as a structural defect of the vista roof glass assembly.

I was driving and heard a loud popping sound and there was glass everywhere and my part of my sunroof was blown out. I think it was what they can an exploding sunroof.

The transmission started to fail while driving without any problems beforehand. It caused a huge safety risk while driving in a big city.

I had a recall performed last year because my car wouldn’t drive no matter what gear I shifted it into, that was the shifter cable recall. This December I was driving and the car started to roll backwards and now no matter what gear I shifted in unless it was in e brake.

Rear backup camera constantly displays an inverted (upside-down) image and the picture quality becomes unclear/blurry. This makes it difficult to judge distance and orientation when reversing and creates a safety risk when backing up.

2019-2021 Ford Edge & Lincoln nautilus equipped with the 8f35 transmission for defective failures. Ford issued TSB 21-2389, but it does not resolve the issue.

My backup camera began malfunctioning in November 2025. Initially, the image became distorted, and shortly after, the screen went completely blank with a message instructing me to contact the dealership. I did so and was informed that my vehicle was not included in the recall and that I would be responsible for the repair costs out of pocket. I referenced the 15-year rearview camera extended warranty that applies to non-recalled vehicles. The dealership stated they were unaware of this warranty. As a result, I contacted Ford directly and opened a case with the automotive safety office in November 2025. Today, I followed up with Ford to check on the status of my case and was told there has been no update. I was also informed that because there is no csp number associated with the 15-year extended warranty for Edge models that are not actively recalled, Ford cannot take any action. I was essentially told that the warranty “does not exist,” despite the fact that it has been widely reported by major news outlets and automotive publications. I was further told that if my vehicle were currently at a dealership, they might be able to help, but since it is not, they cannot do anything. Ford also stated that while the issue could potentially be recalled in the future, there is no action they are willing to take at this time. This is a known Ford defect, and despite extensive documentation and public acknowledgment of the issue, Ford is refusing to repair it.

I am submitting this complaint regarding my 2019 Ford Edge, which now requires a full transmission replacement despite having fewer than 90,000 miles. A major transmission failure at this mileage is highly abnormal for a vehicle of this age and maintenance history. Prior to the failure, I experienced shuddering and irregular shifting, yet the vehicle’s warning lamps did not consistently illuminate to indicate that there was a problem. The lack of warning indicators prevented early detection and contributed to the severity of the issue. I received a repair estimate from don seelye Ford in kalamazoo, mi, totaling $11,534. 07 for the transmission replacement and related service. This cost is excessive and entirely unexpected for a vehicle with under 90,000 miles, and it places a significant financial burden on me as the owner. Given the premature nature of this failure, the safety concerns it created, and the extremely high repair cost, I am requesting a full review of this matter and consideration for assistance or coverage.

I am a second time owner of Ford cars, it's really concerning to me that for one, they have the reputation of their transmissions being faulty, lastly that this being my second vehicle that I have purchased from them that's having transmission issues. Transmission issues that are identical to each other. The transmission keeps slipping and I've only owned the car going on two years. There should be no reason that I would have to replace it so soon. Just like it was in my 2005 Ford taurus. This is an issue that needs immediate attention and it's a rip off because coming up with 9 thousand dollars to spend to repair something that you can just get a new car with that as a deposit. I am very frustrated with Ford and it really needs to be looked at. From looking at it, many people have had this issue with this particular car and need you to please act on this. Ford can not continue to make faulty transmission in their cars and expect people to pay these high prices for repair. Please look into this and help us the consumer and spending our hard earned money on faulty producrts.

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.

2017 Ford Edge, front axle and ball joint had to be replaced around 33k- still under extended warranty. . Now same or opposite ball joint /axle making click/ ping at 43k no longer under warranty, cant tell left or right axle/ball joint. Will have to take it in to Ford at melbourne FL at personal expense. . Probably next month. . .

Sunroof spontaneously shattered.

At around 82,000 miles my 2020 egde started started having acceleration issues from 0-40, this was right after my warranty expired. I have kept up with all maintenance since bought new in 2020. No warning lights show on dashboard and took to 3 mechanics, which during diagnostic testing showed only a mis-fire and then was told the torque converter needs replaced which is a few thousand dollars.
