On the 2013 Ford Edge I own the backup camera fails frequently and without warning. Sometimes the camera will not work at all when the transmission is placed in reverse, other times the camera will fail while during the process of backing up. Problem - does not work at all: when the car is placed in reverse the camera projects a blue screen then states the camera is not available, this happens when it does not work at all. Problem - shuts down while in use: turns off while in use, one has the rear camera view when backing up, then the camera does one of two things it flips flops (top to bottom) or flashes a blue screen then states the camera is not available. And then sometimes the camera will work for one to three times (the camera is working while backing up, turn the vehicle off, exit / re-enter the vehicle and it works for backing up, but the next time the vehicle is entered and placed in reverse the camera is not working at all and the message reads camera is not available. This has been occurring on a more frequent basis over the last month.

I have a 2018 Ford Edge where the liftgate will not open at all from any method—key fob, interior button, or the hatch button. This appears to be a mechanical or electrical failure, and I’m concerned it may be a defect and a potential safety issue since the trunk cannot be accessed. It has had many safety recalls reguarding a lot of issues, the rear view camera is in the same area, so they fixed my camera but they wouldn't fix the trunk not opening, I feel this is major safety issue, should I get pinned in my car while in an accident, on day in where I live in [xxx] and it's 110 outside with my mom or my kids, it could cause us to lose our lives. It's clear they know it's a problem, it a known issue but they are doing nothing to fix, because I purchased the car used and the warrenty for them was over in 05/08/2026. This dangerous, and not something I as the buyer/drive caused. I wasn't in accident, I wasn't in flood, I did not cause this damage and they should fix. Espcially knowing they already have problems with this area on the car. However, they want me to go get the car checked for transmission issues cause there a recall on that on my car, customer satification number 22n12. I am asking for help. There are no lights on, no messages from the car it just stops randomly working. This has been going for about 4 months. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

While accelerating from a stop or at lower speeds, the vehicle jerks or lurches significantly during gear changes. The jerking continues until the vehicle reaches cruising speed. The condition affects drivability and creates concerns about vehicle control when entering traffic or crossing intersections. The problem has persisted despite normal operation. The vehicle has been diagnosed as requiring transmission repair/rebuild. I am aware of Ford technical service bulletin 21-2389, which describes shuddering, bucking, or jerking in certain 2019 Ford Edge vehicles. The symptoms my vehicle exhibits appear similar to those described in the bulletin.
The rear back up camera stopped working , goes black or flips upside down. Sometimes even flickers and then says contact your local dealer for assistance.
Rear camera keeps going blue and then will go out. But it will come back for a day or so and then go out again. I know this is a known problem on these vehicles and I need mine fixed. As well as the purge valve that has also been a known issue as well.

2018 Ford Edge 2. 0l ecoboost. Vehicle cel came on, took it to the dealership for diagnostic and report indicated a known TSB 22-2229 to apply to my vehicle's condition. Trouble code p0302. White exhaust smoke, misfire at start up, low coolant levels, runs rough. Dealer performed a borescope inspection and found the engine long block has internal fluid leak. My safety, my kids, and others on the road were put as risk because at any given moment, the car could have overheated, stalled and caused an accident. The engine is available for inspection upon request. Prior to the cel, the car began shaking and blowing white exhaust smoke. Now I'm left with no car as a single mom trying to make ends meet. Ford won't help to pay $13k for a new engine with a known manufacturing defect.
The 2017 Ford Edge was parked in a parking spot, the shifter visually and physically engaged in the park position. Exited the vehicle went into the store. A vehicle passing by behind the Ford Edge, noticed it slowly rolling backwards and did not stop colliding with the back of her truck. The Ford Edge still showed as it was in park during this occurrence after for the research, it does appear that Ford does have an issue with this and it is a known issue just no specific recall issued for this specific Ford Edge.

I was driving on the highway with my husband and our dog when out of nowhere the panoramic sunroof exploded. We were traveling home and could have been in an accident when it occurred because it sounded like a gunshot hit the car. If we had not been calm during the incident, not only our lives but the lives of everyone around us could have been affected. There were no warnings about this and when we purchased the vehicle in 2023 the dealership didn’t even say anything about a possiblity of this happening. I did research after it happened to make sure there wasn’t a recall we missed and I came across lawsuits because of this.
Ford failed to provide me with timely updates regarding recall campaign 26s09 as required by law. They said a remedy would be available by 27 April 2026. That date has now passed and there is still no remedy nor any updates about when a remedy would be available.

Vehiculo defectuoso así me lo vendió el dealer epic Chevrolet DE sacramento se apaga el solo se ahoga el motor etc.
While driving on sam houston tollway going 65 mph, I heard a loud explosion scared me and caused me to swerve into the lane next to me narrowly missing the car next to me. I thought I had a blowout I pulled over to the side of the freeway and found it was the sunroof that exploded. This created a serious situation that could have been catastrophic.
Transmission failure. Way to common with these transmissions and touqure converters.
For over a year, engine shudders/jerks when accelerating. I see this has been a repeated complaint by many for a few years now. How is this not a recall?????.
My 2019 Ford Edge has a powertrain malfunction and it states to seek the dealership immediately! the SUV is swaying badly and the auto start/stop components scares me whenever restarts and there is a burning smell- its nearly causing me to lose control once it restarts. . Please help im affraid to drive it. This is my only means of transportation and I am dissabled.
On March 22, 2026, I was returning home from a trip to visit my mother in colorado. The wind in kansas was horrible on that day. While in the middle of the state, one of the panels around the sunroof on my 2015 Ford Edge came off of my car and shattered in the road behind me. Moments later, 3 other panels blew off and shattered on the road. I was in shock! someone could have been killed or severely injured! I am still in shock! the next day, Monday the 23rd, I took the car over to james river Ford near my house and had them look at it. They stated that they had never seen this before. All but one of the panels around the sunroof had come off! they looked up recalls for me, but none were on the sunroof panels. Again, I was in shock. How could a car have been designed such that there was the possibility that the roof of the car could come off randomly while driving down the highway? I looked online and there was a lot of talk on how these panels are notorious for coming off! there are multiple stories of issues with these panels. I purchased this car used and would have preferred to not have a sunroof, but I really liked the rest of the car. In fact, the sunroof did not work properly when I first purchased the car, so I chose not to even use it. Now, to have the panels rip off and shatter on the road is extremely alarming and frustrating! most importantly, I need to know that Ford understands the dangers of these poorly designed panels around their panoramic sunroof! no “special” sunroof design is worth the dangers that these can cause if they come off. I do not see other vehicles around with these types of panels. I reached out to Ford online on March 23rd and April 2nd. Of course, nothing really came of that, which is why I am reached out and sent them a certified letter. I am extremely disappointed with my vehicle at this point. Fixing it will be expensive, so I may just drive around without panels so that people can see what happen.

I am writing to express my concern with how Ford is handling safety recall 25s89. I have had numerous incidents where the camera has failed when backing up and have photos to document these instances. I brought my 2017 Edge to the dealership today and was told that it did not need replacement. So, it's "safe" to have the camera display a blank screen some of the time? I would think that the rationale behind a backup camera is that it is safe 100% of the time or it should be replaced. If a part fails only some of the time, is it considered a safe part per the NHTSA? I would really appreciate hearing back from someone at NHTSA on this issue and perhaps there needs to be review with Ford on how this is being handled.
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 view or back up camera monitor and animation not connecting or staying connected to load back up camera image.

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 shuddering at low speeds. Losing acceleration getting on to highway. Hard shifting and slippage.
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?.
The rear backup camera is distorted and the image has flipped upside down.
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.
