If you hit a pot hole or a bump on the road the brake pedal makes a weird sound and then the brake goes all the way to the floorboard when trying to apply brakes and doesn't come to an immediate stop. The wrench light has come on or the symbol that has the car and wavy lines for traction control will turn on all of a sudden and then the car shuts off in the middle of the road while driving putting my life in danger. It also doesn't accelerate all of a sudden and loses power while driving putting my life in danger. When you put the car in park the car still jerks forward even after the car is in park and off. It also makes a clicking sound as if it goes into gear after you have turned the car off and park has been engaged. The headlights keep shutting off while driving or dimming in their own. The motormount screws came undone and I had to get it repaired. The power steering keeps losing the fluid and makes a loud grinding noise especially during cold weather. Makes a loud whistle sound like a turbo jet engine when it's cold and you start driving. The rear driverside door latch keeps making the car alert that the door is open when it is not. The recall only shows door latch for a different door and dealership won't repair with recall notice because the notice doesn't say all door latches and is specific to a different door. The car is unsafe to drive but it's the only car I have and the last time I took it to get repairs they kept it for a month and my it off pocket costs were close to $1600 dollars which put me in a financial strain. I can not afford to be without my car for that long again and pay for things that shouldn't be falling apart and putting my child's and my life in danger.

Loss of steering - errors: "steering assist fault", "hill start assist not available", "service advance trac", adaptive steering fault". I had been driving the car on a hot day approximately 30-50 miles that day, lots of stops, last stop was order pick up. I did not turn the car off and when I went to pull out of the parking lot, I lost steering and errors flashed. I was able to turn the car off and back on- errors disappeared. I drove it to a gas station thinking maybe I was running out of gas, I pumped the gas and attempted to pull out, it did it again. A few minutes later, I was able to move the vehicle to a parking spot. Waiting with engine off and attempted again and error codes gone and as able to drive approximately 12 miles home. When I arrived codes were still gone, decided to move to another spot, and then the codes popped up again. Towed vehicle to Ford dealership - codes were not present when Ford received my car. They stated it was the battery, charged for battery replacement and diagnostics - $400. Drove it maybe 20-30 miles to run errands and same codes popped up and lost power steering while driving low speed over railroad tracks. Towed back to Ford - this time they want $2500 to replace the steering equipment - there has always been a clicking in the steering but Ford stated it was normal and nothing was wrong. Ford did replace the steering equipment at 40k miles under warranty, now a little over 80k miles and it has to be replaced again? seems like there may be more to this, I shouldn't have to replace this once, let alone twice in 80k miles. This could have easily caused an accident if at higher rate of speed, an inexperienced driver or one with less upper body strength to be able to move the steering wheel. I noticed a recall for 2016 models and a lot of similar situations on the web for customer complaints. Could there be something going on with this year as well? I have not repaired vehicle yet. . . .

The vehicle had repeated failures of the electrical steering system. While driving, the failure occurred making it nearly impossible to steer. On certain occasions, the car stalled. If turned off, the error might clear, work for some time, then fail again. One morning, it came up with the failure codes before starting (16 degrees) even after working the night before. Then work later in afternoon after temperature had warmed up.

My 2017 Ford Edge sport is having the same known adaptive steering issues that were covered on the previous two year models. I’ve received the warning light twice now that the adaptive steering system is initializing and I have to turn the car off or manually select the ok option to acknowledge the msg. Nothing else happened or was obviously noticeable with the first time the light came on. Couple weeks later I had parked at a gas station 5 min from my house was out of my car less than couple min back in my car there’s no lights on to warn me of anything when I start my car but once I pulled out into the road my steering wheel was at an obvious left turn position in order to be able to drive the car forward. I was less than . 69 miles from my house once on the road I made three total left hand turns to get to my home. And home the left last left hand turn into my driveway the steering wheel did something awkward and somehow corrected it’s self while pulling into my driveway and I parked then before turning off the car it started flashing again now this was the second time total I saw adaptive cruise initializing. Ive not gotten any other warning info at all and the car hasn’t said or displayed any service due or required on anything just initializing and that’s it. I turned the car off and it’s been two days and hasn’t repeated anything. Yet. But the characteristics of my issue are an exact description of same car same model recall but not showing recalled for 2017 that. Can find. Could my car have been built in 2016 and in that been actually affected by the recall but somehow not included as one of the cars given model year indicator?.

The component of the cart is the lode shaft assembly consisting of axe shaft, boots and gaskets, the risk was to no longer control the brake, since at any moment I lost control and I was very affected. Yes, by a mechanic. Nop the abs was turned on, check engine.

Power steering system went out while driving. A warning light for the advanced traction system came on shortly before the power steering went out. This caused me to hit a curb creating a tire blowout. I got both problems fixed and the mechanic stated the issue with the power steering was that a wire for the system was resting on the catalytic converter, which caused the wire to melt and create the power steering failure. The mechanic replaced the wiring and replaced the mounting for the wiring to prevent it from resting on the exhaust system. The defect was only inspected by the mechanic that repaired the vehicle. No insurance or police since I was lucky enough to make it home.

My vehicle has 60,000 miles on it purchased new and always maintained at a certified Ford dealer. While driving on the freeway an error code came up on the dash adaptive steering fault. My steering wheel went off center turned to the left. I have looked on line and there was a bulletin from for in 2019 to fix this problem owners were supposed to be notified and we were not. Delaers were supposed to fix this if letters were not received when service was performed. I am doing alot of reading and delaer says computer module needs to be replaced 2600. 00. On line forums say steering wheel replacement. Very frustrating to have a car with low miles with a dangerous unsafe situation and delaer says repair through Ford is no longer available that the program expired.

While driving, my vehicle will lose power steering briefly. This makes the car extremely difficult to steer and has almost caused accidents repeatedly. Warning messages related to power steering assist and hill start assist appear on the screen. This happens at various points when driving: when I am turning, driving straight, pulling into parking spaces, backing up, etc. This is a reoccurring issue and has happened multiple times. There is a recall for 2015 Ford Edge describing the exact issues I am having with my vehicle. It is related to the corrosion of bolts holding the electric power steering gear motor. For some reason, my vehicle does not qualify for this, even though I live in west virginia, one of the states listed in the recall. I have taken the vehicle to multiple Ford dealerships and have been repeatedly told that I would need to completely repair my power steering rack, but I suspect this may be related to the above recall.

I bought the vehicle used and I was told that it ran fine and there were no issues with the automobile. And then it started having warning issue lights and then I started having problems with steering and holding in the road and it begain popping when I turn the vehicle to the left . And then the recall with the fuel tank I am scared of the vehicle and I do carry children in it. The used car lot I got it from will not do an inspection on it. So I would like to have it looked at and see if does need to be fixed as so I don't have a accident and see about getting the gas tank fixed. I don't drive it very fast at all and won't take it a long distance . To scares to go far in it.
