2016 Ford Edge SUV FWD

My pano/vista roof cracked randomly. Unsure of how long it was cracked. In researching, it appears this is a common problem with Ford Edge’s and several recalls surrounding my year of vehicle have been enforced upon Ford. From what I have read it appears this is a like situation of some sort of “stress” that cause the roof to fracture. It is now a safety hazard that is expensive to fix.

Engine failure at less than 35,000 miles. Loosing coolant into cyclinder#2 misfire. Known issue by Ford, yet no recall or recourse for owners out of warranty.

The engine has a manufacturer's defect under Technical Service Bulletin 19-2208. Coolant is entering the cylinders. Personal safety is compromised because the engine can fail at any moment. Navigating safely through traffic with an engine fail and then being stranded on the freeway (at night in freezing cold temperatures) is a serious hazard. The problem has been confirmed by a few mechanics. Also, Ford Motor Company issued a TSB 19-2208 detailing this problem for the vehicle. Mysteriously, this TSB has suddenly disappeared but I have a pdf of their advisory detailing the defect. Ford Motor Company requested the vehicle be inspected by a certified dealership, who confirmed the problem. Ford is acknowledging the original engine manufacturer's defect. Mechanics report this is not a wear-and-tear issue. An engine warning light was the first indication of the problem. The problem appeared just after the manufacturer's 100k mile/5yr warranty expired. The vehicle has 105k miles. The vehicle was 3 months past the warranty when Ford was first contacted and notified of the problem. I have been in contact with Ford Motor Company for a couple of months trying to fix this problem. They are now refusing to discuss anything about the issue. Originally, they acknowledged the issue and their TSB proves they were aware of it even to the point of detailing the procedure for diagnostics and repair. Ford also previously reimbursed full expenses for the repair of their defective engine. Now it seems they are trying to cover it up trying to make it disappear, maybe so it does not get listed as a recall? The vehicle is a hazard to drive for my 80 year old mother who still works, but she has no other choice. I am seeing reports of this same engine fail online by other owners.

The contact owns a 2016 Ford Edge. The contact stated that upon entering her garage, there were shards of glass near the rear end of the vehicle. Upon further inspection, she discovered that the broken glass came from the rear windshield. The contact stated that the failure occurred without incident. The contact initially called the dealer and they informed her that they were unaware of such failure; they also informed her that there were no recalls on her vehicle. The manufacturer was also notified of the failure and provided her with the same information as the dealer. She was then referred to the NHTSA for assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 86,000.

On 12-25-2021 I was driving my 2016 Ford Edge Titanium andthe check engine light came on. I took the car to a Ford dealer , they said they could not look at it till Momnday12-28-2021 they checked it out and told me the engine coolant leaked into the engine causing the engine to be replaced. They said they would run a compression check just to make sure. After waiting 1/2 a day, they told me yes, the engine had to be replaced the gasket was defective and caused the engine coolant to leak into the engine. The car has 56,400 miles and they told me to call Ford and maybe they would replace or give me some help on the cost. I called Ford and they told me car was out of warranty(which i knew) and they would do nothing. I am now on the hook for a bill for approx. $7,000. On the internet I found more than 72 complaints of the same thing happening and again Ford would do nothing. I was lucky I was not on a trip and got stranded out in the middle of no where. I feel it is Fords responsibility to see that this problem is taken care of. I do not understand why there has not been a recall on this problem,Why? If your engine stops running out on the highway you could be in for a grave accident. I know there is a Class Action lawsuit pending and like many big lawsuits they can take years to be resolved and who makes the money? the lawyers and then there will not be enough money left to pay back all these people who had to put out thousands to replace these motors. If the consumer wins there will probably be made some deal which will help Ford and the lawyers and then there will not be money left to help the consumer. Why don't you make a recall on this problem?

Rear Windshield shattered spontaneously. 28 degree morning 7am commuted to work without issue. 40 degrees sunny after work 4pm and glass was shattered. No foreign objects or impact.

Lug nuts are 2 piece: The thread piece and the chrome head piece. The pieces became loose from each other, then the thread piece rusted and caused the chrome piece to swell and deform so the lug wrench could no longer fit on the lugnut, thus making it impossible to loosen. This can be a major problem when changing a flat tire. I needed to take my car to an auto mechanic to have several of the factory installed lugnuts replaced. I will need to buy replacement non-OEM lugnuts so this doesn’t happen any more. I read that this is a problem happening on many Ford vehicles.

Left rear brake line split like the front brake lines that have already been recalled

The contact owns a 2016 Ford Edge. The contact stated while driving approximately 25 MPH, while depressing the brake pedal, the brake pedal went to the floor and did not reset which resulted in loss of braking. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer where it was diagnosed with needing the brake hoses replaced. The vehicle was repaired. Upon investigation, the contact associated the failure with NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V469000 (Service Brakes, Service Brakes, Hydraulic) however, the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was informed of the failure and confirmed that the VIN was not included. The failure mileage was approximately 80,341.

When driving and try to brake noticed that pedal distance has increased and was hard to stop the car. When stopped to review vehicle, noticed brake fluid on the right side of it. Take it to Ford dealer (CrossRoads Ford of Kernersville) and they confirmed rupture on right brake hose. Correction was to replace both front brake hoses. This failure is exactly the same as the one for safety recall "NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V469000". VIN for my vehicle is not part of recall however same failure happens with same risks, showing that Ford fails on tracking/providing accurate VIN numbers for this safety failure.

Had a check engine light come on saying misfire in cylinder 4, had the spark plug replace, check engine light came back on a week later. Took it to a Ford dealership & said the long engine block needed replaced due to coolant leaking into the cylinder.

My engine coolant got in one of engine coils causing engine to need to be replaced. There is a class action suit against Ford for this issue in the Edge.

I was driving from Phoenix Arizona to Tucson Arizona, about 1: 45 min drive, October 23rd, 2021, and all of the sudden the check engine lights turns on, and its getting hot, and the engine shuts down, I lose all power to the Steering , and brakes, now, i am going about 45 in a 75 lane, but people going 80 plus. and we are about 20 miles from home. WE finally able to pull over and check it out. I added water and let it cool down for about 30 mins, We took the frontage road driving around 30-35 miles per hour.. the light was on still but not over heating, till we got to the house when we saw the temperature going up, we shut it down,,, The next day i drove to a Mechanic close to the house, they ran the tests, and was advise that the engine had water in the motor, due to the engine being defective, they did tell us, that they have seen these a lot, in the edge and Escape, coming to their shop, took it to another mechanic (Ford Certified) and told us the same thing, no Good and you need to replace the engine at a cost of $6000- up to $8000.00, it only has 94k on the engine. they are seeing this across the USA. Its very dangerous, because when going 75 plus and your calls stalls out and slows down fast and cars and trucks had to go around us, some fish tailed almost out of control, we could have caused a MAJOR Pile up had not the car started for us to get to the side . God was with us, please look into this, We have the car parked, because we cant afford a new enginge. and still making payments on a CAR that done run thanks for your time rda

I had to have the engine replaced because coolant was leaking in cylinder 2.

Broken Flywheel. 5 year/60,000 miles Warranty ended by date 4 months prior to diagnosis. Car currently has 57,000 miles. Took to dealer for engine rattle diagnostics exam. Was told it was the flywheel. Ford Technician stated it’s a common mechanical problem for this kind of vehicle. Ford is refusing to cover the repair. No prior warnings or messages presented to driver before or while engine rattle occurred. Was told to trade in the car as the flywheel can damage the engine thus totaling the vehicle.

The contact owns a 2016 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while the vehicle was running and closing or opening the door, the horn honked twice. There were no warning lights were illuminated. The contact called the local dealer who informed the contact about diagnostic fees. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified however, no further assistance was provided. The contact was concerned about the unauthorized use of the horn. The approximate failure mileage was 30,000.

IN novermber 2019 heard ratteling noise for engine took to dealer . they found a crack flex plate. they replaced the short block and transmission pump per the service bulletin this was at 56,000 miles. now at 86.000 same noise came back.to back to dealer same problem crack flex plate.the dealer and ford have both refused to cover this repair because it is now out of warrant.this is clearly a defective part that ford should have fixed and recall all cars with this engine. case#cas-34043931

Flexplate and Torque Converter caused the car to shake and lose power. It was confirmed by Ford Dealership and repairs through Ford Dealership. There were no warning lights, just a rattling sound from motor. The flexplate was replaced once already before this incident when the car was under warranty at 60,000 miles. It was replaced again this time at 98,000 miles.

A check engine light came on, I called Ford, told them what it was and took the earliest appointment was over a week away which they said was fine since it was just the regular check light. I Five days before the appointment, I started my car (push button), it didn't start, so I took my foot off the brake, waited a minute, put my foot back on the brake and tried starting it again, the car started but smoke started pouring out of the back of the car and the engine died. I had it towed to Ford and they said that coolant got into the fourth cylinder which ruined the engine, requiring an entirely new engine ($7000) on a six year old car Safety was put at risk because if this happened while I was driving instead of parked this could have caused a serious accident. This is a common problem among this model of car (and some other, similar models from Ford).

Vehicle engine light came on and car made loud noise when started. Brought to dealership. 2 issues with car. Coolant leaked into the engine which could cause a fire. Needed a new engine. Flex plate was cracked which could cause the vehicle to stop moving abruptly causing a crash. Flexplate and parts needed to be replaced. Flexplate issue has been recalled in the 2017 Ford Edge. Issues on-line show that this is common in 2015-2018 Ford Edges.

My sunroof literally exploded while I was sitting in a parking lot. Nothing hit the car, I didn't have a collision or fender bender. Literally sitting in the lot I heard a loud 'explosion' and the crack just started at the back of the sunroof and worked its way to the front near my head. Totally random and unexpected and happened for no reason. I read that now the ceiling/roof is compromised and in a rollover I am not protected from the glass falling in on myself or my children.

Sitting in my car this morning and turn the rear defroster on and out of no where my back window explodes from the inside out. Nothing was touching it or fell on it. Alot of people have this same issue but Ford won't cover it. Luckily my daughter wasn't in her rear facing carseat or I'd be one super angry mom. seriously a safety hazard, what if we were driving down the road and it exploded causing us to swerve and cause serious injuries to ourselves or someone else, who'd be liable then.

After a little over 5 years and 41000 Miles engine needs replacement due to coolant issue which is a very common problem according to many posts online.

I purchased FOUR (size 245/60R18) Firestone Destination LE2 tires on May 2, 2019 from my Ford Dealer (Washington Ford) to replace original equipment tires that were wearing down. Mileage on the car at the time was 22047. The tires were rotated on November 22, 2019 (mileage on odometer was 27687 or 5600 miles since purchased), the tire were rotated next on November 11, 2020 (mileage on odometer was 34465 or 12,400 miles since tire purchased). Currently the odometer reads 42,365 and all 4 tires have 5/32" tread depth as measured by the Firestone Dealer on 9/23/2021. Essentially the tires have 20,000 miles on them and are wearing out prematurely for a tire with a 500 treadwear rating and a supposed 60,000 mile warranty. The car has noticeably less traction and has hydroplaned twice during rain events while travelling on the Interstate roads during the pas 14 days. The local Firestone dealer told me there was nothing they can do to pro-rate the mileage until the tires are worn down to 4/32 tread depth. The TIRES ARE UNSAFE NOW. During my tire inspection on 9/21/2021 the Firestone manager indicated that I may have to go through my Ford Dealer to replace the tires????!! An internet search reveals a majority of complaints relating to POOR TREAD WEAR for the Destination LE2 tires.

Engine. Engine started to leak coolant into #2 cylinder engine was miss firing and stalled. upon having inspection done by local mechanic per Ford's service bulletin was needing a long block replacement. If this unit was 1 year newer would have been under warranty. this stinks there is apparently a problem and I bought a used vehicle with a 60000 mile warranty and next year had a 100000 mile warranty. Ford knew something.

experience coolant seeping into cylinders. Causing the engine to misfire. Ford says needs the new redesigned cylinder block at the cost of 8000. This seems to be an ongoing issue with the 4 cylinder engines with vehicles.

I went to have a slow leak fixed and the shop could not get the lug nuts to come off as the caps on the lug nuts had expanded and warped. I had to replace all 4 wheels lug nut. Cost to me $75.87

The contact owns a 2016 Ford Edge. The contact stated a warning light illuminated the vehicle for the adaptive steering, and the steering wheel was not straight. The contact took the vehicle to a local dealer who replaced the entire steering wheel with an adaptive motor to fix the issue under a courtesy satisfaction recall by the manufacturer. However, the warning light remained illuminated. The contact then took the vehicle to Gordie Boucher Ford Lincoln of Janesville (2727 US-14, Janesville, WI 53545, (608) 754-5511) who inspected the vehicle and was able to diagnose the failure as a faulty steering column module that needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 32,384.

On 7/27/21 I was on vacation in southern VT. After shopping I started the car up to wait for friends & family to get back so we could return to where we were staying. After about 5 minutes I was about to pull onto the street when my car’s warning system activated that Coolant Is Over Temperature. The temperature gauge was all the way in the red zone. After shutting the car down for about 15 minutes the temperature came down & I drove the car to a nearby garage so they could assess. The next morning they reported smoke came out of tailpipes as well as coolant. The car was towed from there to Ford of Greenfield where they found coolant in the spark plugs. The engine needed to be replaced due to this serious defect. The safety issue is this situation could have been much worse had we been driving in an area where there were higher speeds and significant traffic. This crack in the engine has caused worse issues (I’ve heard of fire in some instances, luckily not this one).

For 2 months, now, when I fill my gas tank, the vehicle fails to start. After several attempts it chugs then fires up. 2 days ago it started to make a strange humming noise that would last about 5 seconds then stop about 3-4, then come back. Sometimes the hum lasted longer. Happened for a good 5 miles. Then, as I’m driving, the engine starts choking and the rpm gauge is bouncing. Then it sounded like it wanted to shut off so I immediately pulled over. I called a local Ford dealership. I took it there and the garage manager says it sounds like a fuel pump and scheduled me to come in this week for a diagnostic or code check. Didn’t say it wasn’t safe to drive.

Check engine light came on while driving vehicle, checked at autozone on 6/14 and the report tool indicated #2 piston misfire, brought to tires plus and had 2 coils and four spark plugs replaced, issues persisted with overheating and stalling, brought into another mechanic who said to take it to a Ford dealership to identify computer error code, brought the vehicle in on 8/13 and was told there was coolant leaking into the engine and it was a known malfunction and the long block would need to be replaced.

I had a Ford dealer diagnose an illuminated dash warning stating “Adaptive Steering Fault” along with a steering wheel that was turned 90 degrees to the right while the vehicle was tracking straight ahead. During this time, the vehicle's steering would also exhibit momentary losses of power assist accompanied by clicking noises coming from the steering wheel. The dealer’s diagnosis returned a faulty steering wheel with complete steering wheel replacement being the remedy. This was quoted as as a $2,500 repair!! Through manufacturer goodwill, I would be on the hook for 50% of that which is still ~$1,250 on a vehicle with only ~36K miles! Further, I quickly discovered that this issue is well-known for my model to the point that Ford has issued service documents to address complaints (Customer Satisfaction Program 19B04 - Supplement #1 and TSB# 16-2066, 03 November 2016). Customer Satisfaction Program 19B04 - Supplement #1 even states “Service Action: Dealers are to replace the adaptive steering wheel assembly. This service must be performed on all affected vehicles at no charge to the vehicle owner.” I negotiated with Ford customer service to have them cover a larger part of this exorbitant repair cost but to no avail. Should a customer not expect a vehicle’s steering wheel assembly to be manufactured in a way as to last the life of the vehicle? The symptoms of this failure, momentary losses of power assist, clicking noises, steering wheel off-centered, should be considered a safety defect for which the manufacturer should be held responsible. With the cost of repairs so high, how many of these vehicles are running on our roads because the owner's don't have or want to spend that much money for repairs??

The contact took the vehicle to the local dealer and the vehicle was repaired. The contact stated the following day the check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact took the vehicle to Five Star Ford of Warner Robins (900 Russell Pkwy, Warner Robins, GA 31088, (478) 273-8151) to be repaired however, the vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 56,000.

as I was driving to work on i95N near Springfield, VA, the "coolant high temperature" warning light illuminated on my dashboard. as I was in rush hour traffic, I slowed down and moved right to diagnose the issue. i was able to exit the highway and immediately enter the lot of Sheehy Ford, Springfield VA. The dealer inspected my vehicle while I obtained a ride to work, then called me later to explain the issue. Their testing revealed error code P0301. the service advisor told me that Ford TSB 19-2346 "coolant intrusion into long block" was the issue and the recommended repair is to replace the engine. I called Ford customer service and was advised that there was no recall for this known problem and that my car was out of warranty (@70K miles). as such, Ford would not cover any of the repair expense. The Ford dealer has ordered a new engine and advised me that it will cost $7500 for parts and service. I can ask them to keep the engine for inspection, but I need to know soon. Safety was put at risk by an unforeseen issue without advance notice or warning that occurred in heavy traffic at high speed. In retrospect, I did notice excess exhaust from the vehicle prior to the incident and some difficulty starting, but there no other warning. This occurred less than 30 minutes prior to the warning light activation.

The shifter cable for the power train became dislodge causing the car not to be able to shift from park, to neutral to drive. The car had to be towed to be repaired by a Ford Dealership that charged $335 for labor and $10 for parts and in additional a $43 charge for Environmental Compliance

Rear Windshield Shattered due to no cause, no impact, nothing. I was just driving down the road to town and it just Popped and shattered. I could not see out the rear window and pieces kept falling from the bottom of window. It was very unsafe to drive the car with the windshield shattered like this. NO quick fix, no available glass on the island and working right now to try to get it repaired. It happened today, 7/31/21.

The contact owns a 2016 Ford Edge. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the brake pedal felt soft when depressed, causing the stopping distance to be extended 200 feet. The low brake fluid message appeared on the instrument panel. The contact pumped the brake pedal several times to regain normal function and veered to the side of the road. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The contact stated the failure reoccurred several times while driving. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 20V469000 (Service Brakes, Service Brakes, Hydraulic) however, the dealer informed the contact that the part for the recall repair was not yet available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and a case was opened. The contact was still awaiting a call back from the manufacturer. The approximate failure mileage was 55,000. Parts distribution disconnect. After three weeks of not examining the car the dealer decided to put the car on the rack where they discovered the problem being the brake master cylinder and booster. The dealer said our warranty would cover it and they were going to get the parts. There was not a recall on the issue but hearing conversations in the dealership convinced us that the issue should be a recall. We were provided a rental car for 5 days. After we pushed the issue Ford agreed to provide a rental car 60 days because parts are not available. Different stories were told about the part availability until I did research and found tools were available but dealers were not selling or sharing because they have the same issues. There should be buffer on service part tools and the Ford dealers are attempting to contain the situation in house instead of escalating the problem. Currently there are two unresolved issues 1. Recall for brake lines where we were told they had parts and to bring car in . Got to dealer and there were no parts. 2. Dealer inspected car after having for three weeks and by me pushing the issue. Upon inspection dealer realized problem is the master cylinder and brake booster. Parts are not available and there is not a plan to get parts in. Car has been at dealer since June. We have never received a call from Ford to discuss our case which they committed to do with in 24hours of claim. Additional calls to Ford occurred none of which are returned. The lack of parts is concerning but the attempt to keep the issue quite is a larger issue. Ford knows the master cylinder and booster is an issue but will not go through the channels. Problem has not been resolved.

Engine coolant leak resulting in thick, white exhaust, rough idling upon start, and engine overheating.

So about 3 weeks ago on Tuesday my check engine light came on my 2016 ford edge and the car was stuttering. The following day Wednesday I took it to my mechanic and they said it's a cylinder 2 misfire and replaced my spark plugs then 4 days later Sunday my check engine light came back on I could go no faster then 40mph. Had to wait till July 6th to bring it to my Ford dealership Steven's Ford in milford ct where they found I had coolant leaking into my engine which is a know Ford issue with there 2015- 2018 eco boost engines and the only repair they have is to replace the engine with a new one because a reman engine would have the same problem and the reason I could not drive my car above 40 mph is because it was only running on 3 cylinders

Engine light on, coolant bubbling in reservoir, presence of coolant in cylinder, chemical head gasket test failed, vehicle needs new engine.

The contact owns a 2016 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while having routine maintenance performed on the vehicle, she was informed that the lug nuts were loosened. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the lug nuts needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the NHTSA for assistance. The failure mileage was 49,190.

The scan revealed P0316 misfire on startup and P0301 cylinder 1misfire. It was discovered that the top of the cylinder 1 piston appears to be "washed" which happens when fuel is not ignited during the combustion process. This confirms the constant "toping off" of the engine coolant, which indicates a coolant leak in cylinder number 1. This diagnosis was from Christian Brothers Automotive, Acworth, Ga.

For the SECOND time, a brake has failed on this vehicle. The first was passenger-side brake line rupture in 2019, which was repaired under warranty. Yesterday the driver’s side brake line ruptured while awaiting for recall repair to be done.

I was told parts for the safety recall would be in at the end of 2020. Were now almost halfway through 2021 and the parts are still unavailable. I did receive a letter from Ford about the safety recall and that parts were in and to call and schedule the maintenance appointment. I scheduled an appointment for this month, June 2021 and now they tell me parts are still not in and not expected till mid July 2021. My husband and I have one car and if something were to happen that would be terrible. Our lives are important and we drive our son around, we don’t feel safe knowing our brakes could not work properly.

THE RIGHT REAR BRAKE LOST BRAKE FLUID WHICH CAUSED THE BRAKES TO BE INEFFECTIVE. THIS WOULD HAVE CAUSED ME TO POSSIBILY HAVE AND ACCIDENT OR CAUSE ME TO HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE BECAUSE I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO STOP. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A FORD DEALER WHO FOUND THE LEAK AND REPLACED THE PART. THIS SAME THING HAPPENED TO THE FRONT BRAKES AS WELL. THOSE BRAKES ARE CURRENTLY UNDER A RECALLED FOR THE SAME ISSUE. THERE WERE NO WARNS, LIGHTS OR ANY SYMPTOMS THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM

This vehicle has a design flaw within the engine. The engine and head gasket had a leak that caused the vehicle cylinder to fill with engine coolant, and caused the vehicle to unexpectedly misfire, overheat, and stall. I have also read accounts of other individuals vehicles catching fire. Thankfully this has not happened with my vehicle, however, it did stall out in the middle of the road during rush hour. As a result it was taken to FORD and they informed me that the entire engine would need to be replaced as a result of the failure.

CAR SOUNDED ROUGH WHEN I STARTED IT AFTER WORK WITH VIBRATION NOISE THAT GOT LOUDER AS I DROVE AND LOUDER STILL WHEN IT WAS IDLING AT LIGHTS. DROVE STRAIGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP - IT'S A CRACKED FLEX PLATE. UPON RESEARCH THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH FORD EDGE. WAITING TO SEE WHAT IS COVERED UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY. 66000 MILES.

FRONT BRAKE HOSE LEAK. LEFT HOME AND IT WAS FINE, A FEW MILES LATER I NOTICED THE BRAKE PEDAL NEEDING MORE PRESSURE AND GOING FARTHER DOWN EACH TIME I STOPPED. CAR WAS SLOW TO STOP. I DROVE TO AN AUTOZONE AND THEY CHECKED AND SAW I HAD NO BRAKE FLUID. I KNEW THERE WAS A RECALL AND EVEN ASKED ABOUT IT A WEEK PRIOR AT THE DEALERSHIP DURING A 60K MILE SERVICE. I GOT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED THE HOSE WITH THE SAME DEFECTIVE PART - I GOT 60K MILES OUT OF THE FIRST ONE SO I'M NOT TOO WORRIED BUT THEY ONLY CHANGED THE HOSE ON ONE SIDE SO I ASSUME IT'S LIKELY TO HAPPEN AGAIN ON THE OTHER SIDE? DID NOT CHARGE ME AND LIKE THE OTHERS, I'LL KEEP WAITING FOR THE RECALL TO ISSUE A FIX.

LUG NUTS SWOLLEN AND FORD SUPPLIED LUG WRENCH WON'T FIT LUG NUTS. COULDN'T CHANGE FLAT TIRE.

I HAVE HAD THE FRONT BRAKE LINE RUPTURE IN MY 2016 FORD EDGE, HAD IT REPLACED OUT OF POCKET EVEN THOUGH IT'S A RECALL. I CALLED FORD THEN TO TELL THEM THEY TOLD ME TO TAKE IT TO FORD TO GET IT FIXED THE FIRST OF THE YEAR AND THEY WILL REIMBURSE ME FOR WHAT I HAD FIXED; THEN THEY HAD ME SIT THEIR AND HOUR FOR THEM TO TELL ME THAT THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE PART AND THEY WILL CALL ME WHEN THEY GET. NEVER GOT A CALL BACK AND NEVER GOT REIMBURSED. THEN IT RUPTURED AGAIN TRIED TO GET IT FIXED THEY TOLD THAT I HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE PARTS TO COME IN AFTER I GOT TOLD THEY WOULD HAVE THE PARTS THE FIRST OF THE YEAR. THEY REFUSE TO HELP ME AND REFUSE TO GET ME A LOANER. SO I'M STUCK WITH A CAR WITH NO BRAKES THAT ALMOST CAUSED ME TO CRASH TWICE NOW.

AFTER SHOPPING, I APPLIED THE BRAKE TO START THE CAR. I HEARD A POP AND THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. THE FRONT RIGHT BRAKE HOSE RUPTURED. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THE RECALLED PART IS IN "ADVANCE NOTICE" AND A FIX ISN'T AVAILABLE. I WAS CHARGED FOR THE FIX (WITH A PROMISE OF REFUND), BUT ONLY ONE SIDE WAS FIXED AND I PRESUME THE OLD PART, WHICH WAS RECALLED, WAS USED TO "FIX" THE CAR. AFTER CALLING FORD, THEY HAD NO UPDATE. THEIR RECALL NOTICE (20S42) STATED THEY EXPECTED THE FIX TO BE READY Q4 2020, BUT IT IS NOT APRIL 2021 WITH NO UPDATE.

MY 2016 FORD EDGE SEL RECENTLY DISPLAYED A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THE VEHICLE WAS LOOSING COOLANT WITHOUT LEAKAGE UNDER VEHICLE. THE ERROR CODE PRESENTED WAS P0304. UPON PRESSURE TESTING COOLANT WAS FOUND TO BE LEAKING INTO THE 4TH CYLINDER, AND CAUSING A MISFIRE. THE VEHICLE IS LESS THAN 5 YEARS OLD AND FORD IS CLAIMING THE ONLY SOLUTION IS A COMPLETE ENGINE REPLACEMENT FOR MORE THAN 7K.

2016 EDGE BOUGHT 10/16 59,000 MILES APPROXIMATELY. THE ENGINE OVER HEATING LIGHT CAME ON ENGINE IDLING POORLY TOOK INTO DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS. VEHICLE NEEDS A MOTOR. IT'S SITTING IN DEALER NOW FOR OVER 30 DAYS ENGINE ON BACK ORDER. BASED ON NUMBER OF BOUGHT IN OCTOBER 2016 EDGE 59,000 MILES OVER HEAT LIGHT ON TOOK TO FORD DEALER FORD IS SLOWLY TAKING CARE OF THE PROBLEM. I WOULD SAY BESIDE WAITING 6- 8 WEEKS TO GET VEHICLE FIXED UNDER WARRANTY WHO WILL REIMBURSED FOR DEVALUATION OF A KNOWN PROBLEM ON MY VEHICLE.

IN DECEMBER WE WENT TO DRIVE OUR CAR AND NOTICED THAT THE BREAK PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND BREAK FLUID WAS LEAKING OUT OF IT. FORD SAID THE REAMDY FOR THE RECALL WAS NOT YET AVAILABLE. WE HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR THE REPAIR OF THE RIGHT BREAK LINE THEN LAST MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING AND THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN WITH THE LEFT BREAK LINE. FORD STILL HAS NO SOLUTION!! IT'S BEEN OVER 6 MONTHS SINCE I'VE BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE RECALL AND I'M ABOUT TO BE OUT $600 TO FIX THE BREAKS ON MY CAR!

I RECEIVED SAFETY RECALL IN MAIL, DATED SEPTEMBER 2020, NHTSA RECALL 20V-469, STATING RECALL FOR BRAKE ISSUE, WITH A RISK OF A CRASH. AS OF MARCH 15, 2021, FORD AND NHTSA WEBSITES SAY RECALL INCOMPLETE. REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT A BRAKE RECALL AND WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT IS BEING DONE TO GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED. THE 2016 FORD EDGE BROUGHT IN TO CHECK AFTER NO PARTICULAR COOLANT PROBLEM DIAGNOSED THE CAR WAS BROUGHT IN AGAIN WHEN IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A COOLANT LEAKING INTO THE ENGINE . REPLACEMENT COST $8250. AFTER EXTENSIVE NEGOTIATING WITH FORD THEY OFFERED A %55 HELP OF $4590. THIS LEAVES ME WITH &3660 COST TO FIX AN ENGINE ON A CAR THE I STILL OWE$9880. AS A RETIRED COUPLE BUYING IN GOOD FAITH A BRAND NEW CAR VALUED AT $40000 AND EXPECTING IT TO LAST FOR MANY MANY YEARS. THIS LONG STANDING PROBLEM WITH THIS FORD ENGINE SHOULD BE RECALLED AND NOT CAUSE SUCH WORRY AND STRESS FOR THE GOOD FAITH CONSUMERS

I RECEIVED WORD OF A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE CALLED MY FORD DEALER THREE TIMES OVER A PERIOD OF SEVERAL (9?) MONTHS. THEY KEEP TELLING ME THE PART(S) ARE NOT YET AVAILABLE.

FORD RECALL 20V-469 I. RECEIVED A LETTER ABOUT BREAK LINE ISSUES FO THE FORD EDGE I OWN. IT HAS 30,000 MILES ON IT. 2 WEEKS AGO IT WENT THROUGH 30,000 MILE CHECKUP, INCLUDING BRAKES. TOLD THEY WHERE FINE, NO ISSUES. AND THAT FORD STILL DID NOT HAVE THE RECALL PROCEDURE IN PLACE AND CAN NOT GET RECALL REPAIR. BU I SHOULD JOT WORRY, MY BRAKES ARE FINE. THEY AREN'T. I WAS DRIVING AND THE LINES BROKE. I HAD NO BRAKES. I WAS LUCKY AND DID NOT CRASH. THE CAR CAN NOT BE DRIVEN. FORD IS SAYING I'LL HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS UNTIL THE PROCEDURES COME OUT AND I CAN THEN FILE FOR REIMBURSEMENT. I LUCKILY DID NOT TURN INTO THE HIGHWAY. I WAS LUCKY I DID NOT CRASH INTO ANYONE. I HAD NO BRAKES. THE 'LEAK' OCCURRED WHEN THE LINES BROKE. THIS IS DIFFERENT THEN WHAT THE LETTER SAYS. THEY ACT LIKE IT WILL LEAK AND YOU WILL BE FINE AND LINES WILL BE REPLACED. I HAD NO WARNING. I ASKED FORD TO FIX THIS AND CHECK THEM. FORD KNOWS THESE ARE BAD LINES, BUT ARE NOT FIXING THEM YET. I HAD TO PUT MY LIFE IN DANGER, ALONG WITH OTHERS AROUND ME, BECAUSE OF THIS. FORD SHOULD BE FIXING THE CARS NOW. THEY KNOW WHAT VIN CARS HAVE THE PROBLEM. I WAS GOING TO DRIVE THIS CAR ON MOUNTAIN ROADS THIS WEEK, NOW IT IS SITTING AT FORD. IF I WAS DRIVING IN THOSE ROADS, THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN AWFUL. THIS ISN'T A SMALL PROBLEM. IT'S A LAWSUIT PROBLEM IF FORD DOESN'T FIX THE CARS. THEY COULD SAFE SOME LIVES BY TAKING CARE OF THIS NOW. THEY SENT THE LETTERS OUT IN SEPTEMBER. IT'S SCARY TO DRIVE AND THEN HAVE NO WAY TO STOP, EXCEPT HOT SOMETHING. OR BEING LUCKY AND GOING SLOW ENOUGH THAT YOUR EMERGENCY BREAKS WORK. FORD CLEARED MY CAR TO DRIVE, SPECIALLY THE BRAKES, AND THEN THE BRAKES BREAK. THIS IS THE RECALL PROBLEM. THEY COULD HAVE OREVENTED THIS. VERY UPSET. AND WORRIED FOR OTHER A FORD EDGE DRIVERS. I WAS DRIVING IN TOWN, URBAN CITY. I WAS IN MOTION. AMD THE BRAKES BROKE. 30,000 MILES.

THERE ARE TIMES WHEN I PRESS ON THE GAS AND THE ENGINE BOGS DOWN AND THE ENGINE STARTS RUNNING VERY RUFF. I CAN ONLY DO ABOUT 2 MILES PER HOUR, WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS AS I AM IN TRAFFIC ON CITY STREETS AND ON THE HIGHWAY, WHEN THIS HAPPENS. THE ONLY THING THAT FIXES IT IS TO PULL OVER, SHUT THE CAR DOWN, AND THEN RESTART. THIS HAS HAPPENED 5 TIMES SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR IN DECEMBER OF 2019 AND IT IS ONLY JANUARY OF 2021.

I OWN A 2016 FORD EDGE THAT USE TO BE MY LEASED WORK VEHICLE AND I BOUGHT IT FROM THE COMPANY FOR MY WIFE ON 11/15/2019 WITH 67,696 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. I HAVE NEVER HAD ONE ISSUES WITH THIS CAR AND I HAVE PUT EVERY MILE ON IT FROM WORK UNTIL I BOUGHT IT FROM THE COMPANY/EMKAY LEASE PROGRAM. THE CURRENT MILEAGE AS OF TODAY IS 72,853 MILES AND I HAD IT SERVICED FROM LANDMARK FORD IN PORTLAND OREGON. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME LAST WEEK ON AND I TOOK THE EDGE IN FOR SERVICE BUT NEEDED TO BRING THE VEHICLE BACK TODAY SO LANDMARK FORD COULD DO A DIAGNOSTICS ON THE VEHICLE. MY WIFE AND MY DAUGHTER DROPPED OFF THE VEHICLE AND HOURS LATER, I WAS NOTIFIED BY CHRIS KELSO AT LANDMARK FORD (503-598-8398) THAT COOLANT WAS GETTING INTO THE ENGINE CYLINDERS AND I WOULD NEED TO REPLACE THE ENGINE FOR CLOSE TO $7000.00. I HAVE DEALT WITH CHRIS FOR YEARS AND HE DOES A GREAT JOB FOR ME AND MY FAMILY. CHRIS MENTIONED THAT THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH EDGES AND A NEW ENGINE IS THE ONLY WAY TO FIX IT. I TOLD CHRIS I CAN'T AFFORD TO REPLACE AN ENGINE ON A VEHICLE I PURCHASED IN NOVEMBER OF 2019, SO WHY WOULDN'T FORD HAVE A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE, IF THEY KNEW ABOUT THE PROBLEM? CHRIS DID NOT HAVE AN ANSWER, WHICH I CAN TELL THAT BOTHERED HIM. I'VE TAKEN GREAT CARE OF THIS FORD EDGE SINCE THE ODOMETER HAD 13 MILES ON IT FOR MY WORK FLEET VEHICLE. I'M CURRENTLY DRIVING A 2019 FORD EDGE FOR MY NEW WORK VEHICLE AND I HAVE BEEN A FORD AND A FORD EDGE FAN BUT THIS NEWS TO REPLACE THE ENGINE IS VERY UNSETTLING TO ME AT THIS TIME IN OUR LIVES. I WOULD REALLY LIKE SOMEONE WITH THE AUTHORITY TO STEP UP AND PROVIDE SOME ASSISTANCE TO HELP ME REPLACE MY ENGINE ON THIS VEHICLE UNDER A CONSUMER RECALL ESPECIALLY AFTER READING ALL THE COMMENTS FOR OTHER EDGE OWNERS PLEASE FORD MOTOR COMPANY POST A RECALL NOTICE FOR THE FAULTY COOLANT LEAKING INTO THE ENGINE.

AT APPROXIMATELY 53,000 MILES, 2.0L I4 ECOBOOST ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO COOLANT LEEK INTO BLOCK - #2 CYLINDER FAILURE. ALTHOUGH COST OF REPAIRS WERE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, IT TOOK A LOT OF EFFORT TO GET THIS ALL ACCOMPLISHED. BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW FOR $40,000 AND HAVE HAD ALL MAINTENANCE METICULOUSLY COMPLETED AT LOCAL DEALERSHIP (WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE). WORRIED NOW ABOUT THE DURABILITY OF THE INSTALLED REPLACEMENT ENGINE. THAT ENGINE NOW HAS NEARLY 20,000 MILES ON IT AND IS OUT OF WARRANTY.

MANUFACTURERS CASE 20542 FRONT BRAKE HOSES FRONT BRAKE FAILURE POSSIBLE, RECALL IN AUGUST, HAV NOT RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE BY MAIL

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 20V469000 (SERVICE BRAKES, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC) HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE RECALL REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ROBERT HORNE FORD (3400 S TOMAHAWK RD, APACHE JUNCTION, AZ 85119; (855) 429-6080) AND IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE PART WAS NOT YET AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45-50 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND WENT TO THE FLOORBOARD. THE VEHICLE TO THE SAME DEALER AND THE BRAKE LINE AND A MASTER CYLINDER WERE REPLACED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE REVERSING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BACK TO THE SAME DEALER AND ANOTHER BRAKE LINE WAS REPLACED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, CHECKED VEHICLE WITH CODE READER AND CODE P0303 & P0316 SHOWED. WHEN VEHICLE STARTED WHEN COLD, IT WOULD CHUG AND STALL OUT AT TIMES. VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT TO DEALERSHIP. THEY FOUND COOLANT WAS GETTING INTO THE #3 CYLINDER. THEREFORE REQUIRING A NEW LONG BLOCK. WE RESEARCHED TSB19-2346 AND FOUND THE EXACT SYMPTOMS TO WHAT CAUSED MY ENGINE FAILURE,AND THIS GOES FOR ALL 2.0 LITER ECO-BOOST ENGINES. BASICALLY, A FACTORY MATERIAL DEFECT IN HEAD THAT ALLOWED COOLANT TO LEAK INTO CYLINDER BLOCK, WHICH CAN CAUSE ENGINE FAILURE. MY FORD WARRANTY WAS EXPIRED DUE TO MY VEHICLE MILEAGE. MY EXTENDED WARRANTY COMPANY DUE TO WORDING IN CONTRACT WOULD ONLY COVER INTERNAL , LUBRICATED FAILURE OF ENGINE. THE DEALERSHIP DEEMED MY FAILURE TO BE AN EXTERNAL, MATERIAL CAUSE BECAUSE IT CAME FROM THE HEAD. I CALLED FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND THEY HAD NOTHING TO SAY ABOUT IT AND WOULD NOT BACK THEIR PRODUCT. IN THE END, I BELIEVE WITH NO QUESTION THAT THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL, WHICH IT NEVER WAS. MY VEHICLE HAD AROUND 86,000 MILES AND SHOULD NOT NEED A NEW ENGINE. MY VEHICLE WAS A 2016 FORD EDGE SE, WITH 2.0 LITER ECO-BOOST, THAT I PURCHASED BRAND NEW.

REAR LIFTGATE GLASS SHATTERED/EXPLODED AS THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR WAS SHUT. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY IN DRIVEWAY. A BASKETBALL SIZED HOLE WAS LEFT IN THE SHATTERED GLASS. REAR LIFTGATE WAS NEVER OPENED DURING THIS TIME, AND THERE WAS NO PREVIOUS OR EXISTING DAMAGE TO THE LIFTGATE OR LIFTGATE GLASS. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED OUTSIDE IN MID 30 DEGREE WEATHER FOR ABOUT 4 HOURS PRIOR TO GLASS EXPLODING.

PRIOR HISTORY- COUPLE TIMES THE ADAPTIVE STEERING LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND GO RIGHT BACK OUT. ON 12/14/2020 I WAS DRIVING AND IN A RIGHT HAND TURN WHEN I HEARD A POP ON MY STEERING WHEEL. I IMMEDIATELY GOT A 'ADAPTIVE STEERING SERVICE REQUIRED' LIGHT. I KNEW THIS WAS A KNOWN ISSUE AND DROVE TO THE NEXT TOWN WITH NO ISSUE TO WHERE I COULD SAFELY PULL OFF THE ROAD. WHEN I STOPPED THEN STARTED THE CAR AGAIN MY STEERING WAS LOCKED AND I HAD 4 MESSAGES ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH (SEE ATTACHED PICTURES). I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS A RACK AND PINION WHICH WILL COST $3400.00. (I DON'T CARE AS MUCH ABOUT THE COST, I WANT TO SEE AN ACTION BY FORD WHO IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND WANTS TO SOAK UP THE $2000+ FOR THE PARTS) I'VE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND IT APPEARS THIS IS A KNOWN CONTINUED ISSUE IN THIS MAKE AND MODEL VEHICLE AND IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN AS THE STEERING ACTUALLY LOCKS UP TO WHERE YOU CAN'T DRIVE, COULD YOU IMAGINE HAVING YOUR FAMILY OR SPOUSE AND KIDS IN THIS FAMILY STYLE VEHICLE AND THE STEERING GOING OUT? I CHATTED WITH A FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE REP AND SHE ALSO CONFIRMED FORD HAS HAD ISSUES WITH THIS AND HAVE MULTIPLE REPAIRS DONE BUT THEY ARE NORMALLY DONE UNDER THE WARRANTY.

FORD ISSUES A SAFETY RECALL FOR FRONT BRAKE LINES IN AUGUST OF 2020 AND SAID THERE IS NO REMEDY OF THE ISSUE. HOW IS THERE NO REMEDY? IF THE BRAKE LINE IS LEAKING THE. YOU REPLACE A BRAKE LINE. I ACTUALLY HAD AN ISSUE WITH THIS PRIOR TO THE RECALL COMING OUT, DEPLETED BRAKE FLUID AND COULDN'T HARDLY STOP AND INTERSECTIONS OR LIGHTS.

I WAS DRIVING MY SON TO HIS FATHER'S HOUSE AND MY CAR LITERALLY DIED WHILE IT WAS MOVING. THANKFULLY I WAS CLOSE TO THE HOUSE AND WE WERE NOT ON A MAJOR STREET OR HIGHWAY, BUT IT TOOK SEVERAL TIMES FOR IT TO START AGAIN SO THAT WE COULD MOVE IT OUT OF THE WAY. I TOOK THE CAR TO A FORD DEALER AND THERE IS COOLANT LEAKING INTO THE ENGINE AND NOW REQUIRES A NEW LONG ENGINE BLOCK WHICH WILL COST ME ALMOST $7,000 AND AN ADDITIONAL $1,000 FOR A RENTAL CAR, AS I AM A SINGLE MOM. I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK AND COULD HAVE BEEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I'M LUCKY THAT I WASN'T.

CARS ONLY AT 43K MILES AND CONSTANTLY STALLS. TAKES 10 MINUTES TO START. GAS TANK MAKES WEIRD VIBRATING NOISE AND MY GAS MILEAGE ON FULL TANK WILL GO FROM 330 TO E TO 160 TO E IN 15 SECONDS. MY WINDOWS RANDOMLY DONT WORK, MY LIGHTS DIM AND CAR JUST SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING AND THE STEREO CUTS OUT AND LOOSES HALF POWER LIKE VOLUME WAS TURNED DOWN EVEN THO IT WASNT,AND THE DEALERSHIP IS TRYING TO CHARGE ME TO FIX THESE ISSUES AND IM HOPING FORD RECTIFIED THIS WITH HAVING TO PURSUE THIS. ME AND MY FAMILY INCLUDING INFANTS AND MY PREGNANT WIFE USE THIS CAR DAILY AND I DEPEND ON IT TO GET MYSELF TO WORK AS AN ESSENTIAL EMPLOYEE IN NURSING WE NEED PUR VEHICLE TO BE DEPENDABLE AND IT HAS BEEN ANYTHING BUT. FOR DATES THIS HAPPENS ITS MULTIPLE TIMES A WEEK AND HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE AFTER PUTTING ONLY 3K MILEAGE ON THE CAR I BOUGHT IT AT 21K MILES ITS 43K AMD THIS ISSUE IS BECOMING A SERIOUS INCONVENIENCE AND SAFETY CONCERN. IM ANNOYED BECAUSE I TOOK OUT A LOAN TO BUY THIS VEHICLE AND STILL OWE 28K ON IT SO IF THIS CAR DIES IM SCREWED WITH GETTING RO MY JOB AND EVEN MAKING MORE LONEY TO PAY THIS OFF TO EVEN GET ANOTHER VEHICLE

I PURCHASED A NEW FORD EDGE DIRECTLY FROM DEALERSHIP IN 2016. I HAVE MAINTAINED THE VEHICLE EXTREMELY WELL. AROUND 95,000 MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON FOR A FEW DAYS THEN WENT OFF FOR A WEEK OR SO. WHEN IT CAME BACK ON AGAIN, AROUND 98,000 I CALLED TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT. THEY COULDN'T GET ME IN FOR ABOUT A WEEK. WHEN I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN IT HAD 101,000. THEY TOLD ME I HAVE A CYLINDER HEAD COOLANT INTRUSION BECAUSE OF A SMALL CRACK. THEY RECOMMEND A LONG BLOCK ENGINE REPAIR FOR $8000. THEY SAID THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE FORD ECOBOOST ENGINES. I SEE THERE'S 100'S OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE FOR THE SAME ISSUE. CONTACTED FORD AND THEY SAID THERE'S NOTHING THEY CAN DO TO HELP. A CAR THAT'S 3 1/2 YEARS OLD SHOULD NOT NEED A NEW ENGINE. THIS IS A KNOWN FORD ENGINE DEFECT THAT THEY ARE NOT STANDING BEHIND.

FRONT END IMPACT INTO A TREE; MULTIPLE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE PRIMARY DRIVER'S SIDE STEER WHEEL AIRBAG. THE CAR SENSED AND ATTEMPTED TO CALL 911 BUT WAS IN A RURAL AREA. JUST CONCERNED ABOUT WHY THAT WITH ALL THE OTHER AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AND NO SENSOR NOTED TO ACTIVATE THE STEERING WHEEL AIRBAG.

2016 FORD EDGE TITANIUM HAD A COOLANT LEAK INTO CYLINDER NUMBER 2. WHITE SMOKE ROUGH IDLING. VEHICLE HAD 64,444 TOTAL MILES. REQUIRED A COMPLETE ENGINE REPLACEMENT AT A COST OF $8217.67

ON 6/18/2020, WHILE SITTING IN A PARKING LOT MY VEHICLE WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING AND MY FOOT ON THE PEDAL, THE PEDAL SUDDENLY WENT TO THE FLOOR. NOT REALIZING WHAT HAD ACTUALLY HAPPENED, I DROVE THE 3 MILES HOME; HOWEVER, IN ORDER TO ENGAGE THE BRAKE, I HAD TO STEP VERY HARD ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND IT TOOK LONGER THAN NORMAL TO GET THE VEHICLE TO SLOW TO A STOP. CONTACTED A REPAIR SHOP, WHO REMOVED AND REPLACED BOTH FRONT BRAKE HOSES AND FLUSHED THE BRAKE FLUID FOR A WHOPPING $510.03. WHEN DOING SOME RESEARCH, I CAME ACROSS RECALL # 20S42. AS FORD WAS AWARE THIS RISK, I DO NOT FEEL I SHOULD BE OUT OF POCKET THE $500+ I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO ENSURE THAT THE HOSES USED TO REPLACE THE ORIGINALS ARE TRUE FORD PARTS; AS, ACCORDING TO FORD, THE PARTS ARE NOT YET AVAILABLE FOR INSTALL.

SUDDEN LOSS OF BRAKING ABILITY. ALMOST RAN INTO REAR OF ANOTHER CAR AT STOPLIGHT BECAUSE CAR WOULD NOT STOP IN SUFFICIENT TIME. IN TOWN ON CITY STREET WHEN HAPPEN SUDDENLY. ALSO HAD THE GRANDCHILDREN IN CAR AT THE TIME.

STARTED HAVING WHITE SMOKE. SHEEHY FORD DEALERSHIP TOLD ME I NEEDED A NEW ENGINE DUE TO COOLANT INTRUSION INTO CYLINDER 1. CAR HAS 88,000 MILES AND HAS BEEN CARED FOR EXACTLY AS FORD RECOMMENDS AND MILEAGE WAS ALL HIGHWAY MILEAGE DUE TO MY JOB. COST FOR NEW ENGINE IS $8,000. FOUND OUT ABOUT TSB 19-2346 AFTER RESEARCHING THE DIAGNOSIS. IF I WOULD HAVE KNOW THIS LAST DEC (WHEN IT WAS RELEASED) I COULD HAVE TRADED THE CAR FOR MY NEW TOYOTA. AFTER HOURS AND HOURS OF RESEARCH, I WILL NOW GET RID OF MY 2 FORDS AND GET A RAV 4 AND ANOTHER TACOMA.

MY 2016 FORD EDGE HAD A COOLANT LEAK INTO THE ENGINE WHICH IS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT FORD SENT A BULLETIN OUT ON.THENFORD MOTOR COMPANY REFUSES TO TAKE ACTION FOR A RECALL ON AN OBVIOUSLY FAULTY. ENGINE. HOW CAN THEY BE ALOUD TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE'S A HUGE ISSUE WITH THE ENGINES THAT'S COMMON BUT DEY A RECALL. THIS ISSUE IS CAUSING TONS OF FORD EDGE OWNERS EXTREME FINANCIAL STRESS AND WORSE. THIS COMPANY NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. $9,500 ON REPAIRS. AND NOW THE NEW ENGINES DOING THE SAME THING.

ENGINE CYLINDER BLOCK HAS A CRACK THAT IS CAUSING COOLANT INTRUSION INTO CYLINDER #2 POSING EMISSIONS AND OVERHEATING CONCERNS PER DIAGNOSIS FROM FORD DEALERSHIP

ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. ENGINE HAD 112489 MILES. AFTER MUCH BACK AND FORTH IT WAS DETERMINED I NEEDED A NEW ENGINE. AT THAT POINT I TOOK THE CAR TO A FORD DEALERSHIP. AGAIN AFTER MUCH BACK AND FORTH IT WAS DETERMINED THAT I NEED A NEW ENGINE. I CONTACTED FORD, AND THEY WOULD OFFER NO HELP ON THIS. I DID GET A NEW ENGINE AT THE FIRST SERVICE CENTER FOR $6,000.00 I WENT TO. THE FORD DEALERSHIP WAS $1,500.00 MORE. I ALSO FOUND OUT THAT THERE ARE A NUMBER SERCVICE BULLETINS CONCERNING THIS ISSUE, AND YET FORD OFFERED NO HELP. THE LIGHT CAME ON WHEN THE CAR WAS IN MOTION.

CAR WAS SHOWING SOME POTENTIAL PROBLEMS WITH TRANSMISSION. INTENTION WAS TO GET A TRANSMISSION FLUSH AND FILL, SPARK PLUGS REPLACED. AFTER PLUGS REPLACED, REPAIR SHOP TOOK FOR TEST DRIVE ON LOCAL STREETS. THEN IT DIED. TOWED BACK TO SHOP, WOULDN'T RESTART. EXAMINED IT AND FOUND FLYWHEEL DETACHED. TOWED OVER TO FORD AUTHORIZED DEALERSHIP. THEY CALLED TODAY AND SAID NEED TO REPLACE FLYWHEEL, TORQUE CONVERTER, AND OIL PUMP TO THE TUNE OF $5300! I INTERNET SEARCHED THIS AND FOUND MANY COMPLAINTS. FORD ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS ON 2017 MODELS, BUT NOT 2016. THE REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE THE SAME YET FORD WILL NOT REPAIR THIS AT THEIR EXPENSE. MAKES NO SENSE, SAME PARTS! IS THERE ANY WAY TO GET FORD TO RE-LOOK AT THIS? I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY FOR A PART DEFECT LIKE THE BOLTS THAT FAILED TO HOLD THE FLEX PLATE ON!

BOUGHT A CAR WITH A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THE DEALER KNEW ABOUT THE LIGHT AND SAID WOULD BE FIXED. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THE FIRST TIME THEY STATED IT HAS A MISFIRE AND CLEARED THE CODE. IF THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON CONTACT THEM TO BRING IT IN FOR FURTHER INSPECTION. THE LIGHT CAME BACK IN WITH MINUTES AFTER DRIVING OFF. THEY STATED THERE'S A COOLANT LEAK GOING INTO THE MOTOR. WHICH CAN CAUSE THE MOTOR TO BLOW UP OR CATCH FIRE. I TRIED T GE THEM TO FIX IT AND THEY GIVE ME COLD SHOULDER SO I ASKED FOR A TRADE FOR EQUITY VALUE OR A REVERSE ON THE LOAN TO GET MY OLD VEHICLE BACK THEY WOULDN'T DO IT.

30 AUG 2020 THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE ENGINE OVERHEATED WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING OR INDICATION. THE DEALERSHIP MECHANIC TOLD ME IT WAS A KNOW ISSUE THAT THE COOLANT LEAKS ALONG THE ENGINE BLOCK. IN MY CASE IT LEAKED INTO THE 3RD CYLINDER AND CAUSED MISFIRES. THE CYLINDER IS CRACKED AND THE ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. CURRENT MILAGE IS 64000 AND NOT COVERED UNDER THE 60000 MILE WARRANTY.

I HAVE A 2016 FORD EDGE, WHICH HAS A PANORAMIC SUNROOF AND MOON ROOF. MY SUNROOF MOTOR ONLY WORKS HALF THE TIME. IT WILL OPEN WITH NO ISSUES, BUT THEN IN ORDER TO CLOSE IT, IT WILL CLOSE, AND THEN OPEN AGAIN. I HAVE TO CLOSE IT SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE IT ACTUALLY STAYS CLOSED. THE OTHER ISSUE I AM HAVING IS WITH THE MOON ROOF. IT HAS RANDOMLY CRACKED. I KEEP MY VEHICLE PARKED IN THE GARAGE, AND WORK FROM HOME. THERE IS NO CHIP IN THE GLASS, AND THE GLASS DOESN'T LOOK LIKE A REGULAR SPIDER FROM A CHIP. IT'S WAVY CRACKS.

MY 2016 FORD EDGE STARTED ROUGH STARTING FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS AND THEN THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. HAD THE CAR SCANNED #2COIL PACK ISSUE. REPLACED SPARK PLUGS. LASTED A WEEK. ENGINE LIGHT BACK ON WITH ROUGH START AND WHEN I WOULD GO FROM A STOP IT WOULD HESITATE. SCANNED AGAIN #2 COIL PACK .REPLACE #2 COIL PACK . LASTED ALMOST A WEEK. ENGINE LIGHT BACK ON SAME PROBLEMS. REPLACED ALL THE COIL PACKS. LASTED 1 DAY. THEN CAR OVERHEATED ON THE HIGHWAY . I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO FIND OUT IT NEEDS AN ENGINE. COOLANT IS LEAKING INTO THE #2 CYLINDER. CAR HAS 116,000 MILES AND FORD WILL NOT COVER ANY OF THE REPAIR.

VEHICLE STALLS OUT WHILE DRIVING AND THEN WON'T START BACK UP FOR SEVERAL MINUTES. ISSUE IS INTERMITTENT.

THE CAR BATTERY DIED AND AFTER I GOT IT JUMPED OFF AND TRIED TO DRIVE IT THE POWER STEERING WOULD NOT WORK. I AM CURRENTLY WAITING FOR HELP AS I REPORT THIS. IT LOOKS LIKE OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME EXACT COMPLAINT BUT THERE IS NO ANSWER AS TO WHAT CAUSES THIS.

AT 35,000 MILES, WHEN STARTING AND THEN WHILE RUNNING CAR STARTED HESITATING AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. INITIALLY DEALER REPORTED IT WAS A SPARK PLUG AND THEY REPLACED IT ONLY TO HAVE THE SAME ISSUE ARISE TWO DAYS LATER. BACK AT THE DEALER AN ANALYSIS SHOWED THAT A LEAK IN THE COOLING SYSTEM CAUSED FLUID TO ENTER INTO THE 3RD CYLINDER WHICH THEN CRACKED THE ENGINE. 7 WEEKS LATER A NEW ENGINE WAS REPLACED. ONLY GUARANTEED FOR 1 YEAR AND ORIGINAL CAUSE OF ISSUE (DESIGN FLAW) NOT CORRECTED SO LIKELY TO HAPPEN AGAIN WHEN OUT OF WARRANTY. KNOWN TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN ON THIS ISSUE WITH NUMEROUS ENGINE FAILURES AND RE-FAILURES INCLUDING VEHICLE STOPPING WHEN DRIVING.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON ON MY 2016 FORD EDGE AROUND 60000 MILES. CODE READER INDICATED MISFIRE ON CYL 3. AFTER CHANGING THE SPARK PLUGS AS A POTENTIAL FIX, THE ISSUE CAME BACK. ROUGH IDLES WHEN STARTING BUT USUALLY WOULD GO AWAY AFTER A FEW SECONDS. LAST TIME I WENT TO START IT, WHITE, SWEET SMELLING SMOKE BEGAN POURING OUT OF THE EXHAUST. SHUT OFF THE ENGINE IMMEDIATELY. SEVERAL OTHER DOCUMENTED CASES OF COOLANT LEAKING INTO CYLENDER LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THIS IS A HEAD GASKET OR ANOTHER ENGINE DESTROYING ISSUE. HAVING THE CAR TOWED TO OUR MECHANIC NOW.

I WENT TO START MY CAR AND FOUND MY BATTERY WAS LOW. I GOT THE CAR JUMP STARTED AND WHEN I PUT IT IN GEAR THE POWER STEERING WAS NO LONGER WORKING. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT NEEDED TO REPLACE THE STEERING GEAR ASSEMBLY. THIS IS ON A CAR THAT IS LESS THAN 4 YEARS OLD AND HAS LESS THAN 26,000 MILES. I AM TOLD THE WARRANTY IS 3 YEARS OR 36,000 MILES WHICHEVER COMES FIRST. BASED ON MY RESEARCH IT LOOKS LIKE OTHERS HAVE HAD SIMILAR ISSUES WITH THE STEERING GEAR ASSEMBLY. I DROVE THE VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY THE NIGHT BEFORE AND THERE WAS NO HINT OF ANY PROBLEMS.

THE VEHICLE SMOKE EXTREMELY HEAVY AND MODERATE AMOUNT OF WHITE SMOKE WHEN START AND THE ENGINE COOLANT ALWAYS RUNS LOW

I NOTICED THE REAR SUNROOF WINDOW HAS A VERY STRANGE AND CIRCULAR CRACK THAT FOLLOWS HOW THE ANTENNA IS PLACED ON TOP OF VEHICLE. THERE IS NO IMPACT OR DAMAGE AROUND THE WINDOW OR THE FRAMING SURROUNDING THE WINDOW. I DISCOVERED THE DAMAGE WHILE WASHING THE TOP OF THE VEHICLE. WE DO NOT SIT IN THE BACK OF THE CAR (ONLY THE 2 OF US) AND VERY RARELY OPEN THE SHADE TO ALLOW THE LIGHT INTO THE VEHICLE. IT WAS NOT THERE A COUPLE MONTHS AGO, THE LAST TIME I GOT UP HIGH ENOUGH TO WASH THE TOP. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP FOR INSPECTION, THE SERVICE GUY FOUND NO IMPACT DAMAGE BUT VERY SLIGHTLY FELT THE GLASS "CATCH" EVER SO SLIGHTLY WHILE RUNNING A PEN OVER THE GLASS. THE "CATCH" IS A PIECE OF GLASS CRACKED ON 2 SIDES AND BEING PUSHED UP BY THE PRESSURE OF THE CRACKED, MOVING GLASS. ACCORDING TO THE INSPECTOR, THIS "CATCH" IS A PROBLEM AND HE DOES NOT THINK FORD WILL TAKE THE BLAME FOR THEIR DESIGN FLAW. THIS WINDOW IS CLEARLY A DESIGN FLAW, THERE IS NO OTHER EXPLANATION WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE WAY THE CRACK FOLLOWS THE CONTOUR OF THE ANTENNA. I HAVE PICTURES ON MY PHONE BUT I DO NOT DOWNLOAD OR HAVE THE ABILITY TO SEND THEM AT THIS TIME.

ADAPTIVE STEERING FAULT SERVICE REQUIRED LIGHT IS ON. CAR PULLS TO THE RIGHT EVER SINCE LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE AT 37,000 MILES AND FORD REFUSES TO REPAIR THIS SAFETY MALFUNCTION UNDER ANY TYPE OF WARRANTY. I PURCHASED EXTENDED PLATINUM INSURANCE COVERAGE BECAUSE I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE USED 1 YEAR AGO. LIGHT COMES ON EVERYTHING I TURN THE VEHICLE ON. I'M CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY DRIVING, ESPECIALLY AT HIGH SPEEDS ON THE FREEWAY.

THE ADAPTIVE STEERING MODULE INTEGRATED IN THE RACK AND PINION SHORTED AND ONE CAN NO LONGER USE THE ADAPTIVE STEERING FEATURE. THE NHTSA RECALLED THE STEERING WHEEL WITH THE ELECTRIC ADAPTIVE STEERING MOTOR, HOWEVER NHTSA DID NOT RECALL THE RACK AND PINION WITH THE DEFECTIVE ADAPTIVE ELECTRONICS. I'M LUCKY MY STEERING WHEEL FAILED STRAIGHT AND DID NOT CAUSE THE STEERING WHEEL TO BE COCKED. I WOULD LIKE TO PREVENT CAR MANUFACTURERS FROM INTEGRATING ELECTRONICS INTO NON-SERVICEABLE COMPONENTS. THE ONLY WAY TO RESOLVE THE ADAPTIVE STEERING FAILURE IS TO REPLACE THE RACK AND PINION. GOING FORWARD ALL AUTOMOTIVE MANUFACTURES SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO INTEGRATE NON-SERVICEABLE ELECTRONICS WITH MECHANICAL PARTS. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND I TRIED TO MODIFY THE SETTINGS FOR THE ADAPTIVE STEERING IN DRIVER ASSIST SETTINGS.THE ADAPTIVE STEERING FEATURE IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE SINCE THE ELECTRONICS SHORTED. WHY RECALL THE STEERING WHEEL AND NOT THE ELECTRONICS IN THE RACK AND PINION. IT DOES NOT ADD UP BECAUSE IT WAS AN 50% REPAIR. WHY BOTHER WITH THE RECALL IF YOU DID NOT ADDRESS THE ENTIRE PROBLEM. THE ADAPTIVE STEERING ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS IN THE RACK SHOULD BE A REMOVABLE MODULE SO YOU CAN REPAIR THE ELECTRONICS WITHOUT HAVING THE CHANGE THE ENTIRE RACK AND PINION.

VEHICLE ENGINE WARNING LIGHTS COME ON LUCKY TO BE IN FROM A DEALERSHIP THEY SAID THERE WAS A NATIONAL HIGHWAY BULLETIN ABOUT ENGINE, LUCKILY I HAD WARRANTY TOOK 43 WEEKS TO AUTHORIZE ARE AWARE OF A PROBLEM WITH ENGINE

VEHICLE HAS STALLED MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE DRIVING OR STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT WITHOUT WARNING. "ACCESSORY POWER" REMAINS ON SO LIGHTS, POWER STEERING ETC. THE FIRST TWO TIMES IT HAPPENED I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT AND HAD TO PLACE THE CAR IN PARK TO RESTART THE VEHICLE WHICH TOOK MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS UNTIL THE VEHICLE WOULD REMAIN RUNNING. TODAY THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE COMING OFF OF A HIGHWAY, I HAD TO PULL OVER MULTIPLE TIMES TO RESTART THE VEHICLE WHEN EVER I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS AS THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL. I BARELY MADE IT TO WORK. I AM WONDERING WHY THERE IS NOT A RECALL ON THE VEHICLE FOR THIS ISSUE AS FORD DID RECALL THE 2017 EDGE FOR SIMILAR PROBLEMS.

AS I WAS DRIVING MY 2016 FORD EDGE, I WENT TO STOP AND AS I PRESSED THE BRAKE, IT SLOWED AT THE POINT TO WHERE IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN COMING TO A FULL STOP, THEN THE PEDAL RELEASED AND WAS PUSHED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR BEFORE IT CAME TO A FULL STOP. THE NEXT FEW STOPS...THE SAME THING HAPPENED. I CALLED MY FORD DEALERSHIP AND ASKED IF IT COULD BE LOW ON BRAKE FLUID, EVEN THOUGH NO INDICATOR DISPLAYED ON MY DASH. THEY SAID IT COULD BE A NUMBER OF THINGS. BUT AS I CONTINUED TO DRIVE AND STOP, IT GOT WORSE. THANKFULLY, INSTEAD OF JUMPING ON THE HIGHWAY, I TOOK ALL BACK ROADS TO THAT DEALERSHIP. AS SOON AS THE TECH GOT IN THE DRIVERS SEAT AND PUSHED THE PEDAL, TO TAKE FOR A TEST DRIVE, HE TOLD ME 'THIS THING IS NOT GOING ANYWHERE'. HE GOT UNDERNEATH, HAD ME PUSH THE PEDAL, AND FLUID 'SPRAYED LIKE A WATER FOUNTAIN.' HE SAID HE CAN SEE THAT THE BRAKE LINE HAD SPILT. THIS WAS THE DRIVERS SIDE (LEFT FRONT) BRAKE LINE.

THE ENGINE IS LEAKING COOLANT INTO CYLINDER #3. THIS CAUSES THE ENGINE TO OVERHEAT AND WHITE SMOKE TO COME OUT OF THE EXHAUST.

PUSHED THE BRAKE PEDAL BACKING OUT OF MY GARAGE AND HEARD A POP SOUND, PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. WITH BRAKE FLUID I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP, THOUGH AS I APPROACHED STOP SINGS AND SIGNALS THE CLOSER I GOT TO STOPPING, THE PEDAL WOULD DROP CLOSE TO THE FLOOR AND CONTINUE TO COAST UNTIL I STEPPED HARD ON THE PEDAL TO STOP IT. I WAS TOLD (AS I HAVE SEEN IN AT LEAST ONE OTHER REPORT ON THIS SITE) THAT THE RIGHT FRONT BRAKE LINE HAD A CUT ON IT AND HAD EXPLODED. I DOUBT A ROAD HAZARD CUT THE LINE BUT SUSPECT AN ISSUE WITH THE PART ITSELF. *TR

INTERNAL COOLANT LEAK INTO CYLINDER #2 CAUSING MISS FIRE CODE AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. KNOWN ISSUE BY FORD AND RECOMMENDS COMPLETE ENGINE CHANGE AND IS NOT COVERING ANY OF THE COST. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND WENT TO THE FLOORBOARD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO FELIX SABATES FORD LINCOLN (7601 SOUTH BLVD, CHARLOTTE, NC 28273, 980-224-5854). THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE BRAKE LINES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS REPAIRED THREE TIMES AT THE SAME DEALER HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000.

BETWEEN GETTING IN MY CAR AND STOPPING AT ANOTHER ERRAND, THE FIRST PANEL OF MY PANORAMIC SUNROOF CRACKED FROM FRONT TO BACK, RIGHT DOWN THE MIDDLE. THERE WAS NO IMPACT POINT. I NEVER HEARD A ROCK HIT MY CAR. I DROVE ON THE HIGHWAY FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES BETWEEN STOPS. I DID DRIVE OVER A DIP IN THE ROAD BUT EVEN THEN, I NEVER HEARD IT CRACK. THE DEALER SUGGESTED I PLACE A CLAIM WITH MY INSURANCE BECAUSE OF THE COST. NO ONE CAN TELL ME HOW THE SUNROOF CRACKED. THE CAR IS GARAGED, THE TEMPERATURE WAS MODERATE, AND I DID NOT GO FROM A HOT ENVIRONMENT TO A COLD CAR WASH AS SOME HAVE SUGGESTED. *TR

THERE WAS RECENTLY A RECALL FOR DOOR LATCHES FOR SEVERAL FORD MODELS AND I BELIEVE THE FORD EDGE SHOULD BE ADDED TO THAT LIST. MY DRIVERS SIDE DOOR DOES NOT ALWAYS LATCH EVEN AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. AS FORD STATED, I AM WORRIED 'EVEN IF AN OWNER GETS THE DOOR TO LATCH AFTER REPEATED ATTEMPTS, IT IS STILL POSSIBLE THAT IT WILL BECOME UNLATCHED DURING DRIVING.' THIS HAPPENS WHILE SHUTTING THE DOOR WHILE INSIDE THE VEHICLE AND OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE. *TR

LOST POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREET. WARNING CAME ON WITH : 1. STEERING ASSIST FAULT SERVICE REQUIRED; 2. SERVICE ADVANCE TRAC. MY 2016 NORMALLY IS USED ON THE HIGHWAY, NOT CITY. LOSS OF POWER PULLED VEHICLE TO SIDE OF ROAD. 80K MILES ON EDGE. *TR

CAR CAUGHT FIRE WHILE PARKED AND UNATTENDED! ON 5/26/2020 @ 3:12AM AWOKE TO A LOUD POP. LOOKED OUT WINDOW AND SAW CAR ON FIRE WITH FIRE IN THE REAR PASSENGER TIRE WELL AREA. BY THE TIME THE FIRE DEPARTMENT PUT THE FIRE OUT PASSENGER SIDE OF CAR WAS PRETTY BURNED UP. CAR HAD BEEN PARKED IN THE STREET IN FRONT OF MY HOME FOR ABOUT 10 HOURS PRIOR TO THE FIRE AND THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF FOUL PLAY. *TR

WHILE TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY, VEHICLE BEGAN TO MAKE HUMMING SOUND FROM REAR. AFTER ABOUT 1 MINUTE OF THESE SOUNDS, THE ORANGE WRENCH LIGHT APPEARED AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SPUTTER. VEHICLE CONTINUED SPUTTERING AT EACH STOP LIGHT, RUNNING ROUGH UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO REACH MY DESTINATION AND TURN VEHICLE OFF.

MY CAR HAD BEEN PARKED FOR THREE DAYS WITHOUT MOVING OR OTHER USE. I WALKED PAST THE BACK AND SAW THAT THE BOTTOM OF THE REAR WINDSHIELD HAD AN ALLIGATOR EDGE (PIECES ON THE GROUND), IT LOOKED AS IF SOMEONE HAD TO TRIED TO PUNCH *OUT* ON THE RIGHT SIDE, AND THE WHOLE WINDSHIELD WAS SHATTERED WHEN YOU LOOKED CLOSELY AT THE GLASS. THERE WERE NO HOLES IN THE WINDSHIELD AND NO SIGN OF IMPACT.FROM THE OUTSIDE OF THE CAR. WE LIVE IN ON AN ACRE AND HAVE SECURITY CAMERAS SO VERIFIED THERE WAS NO VANDALISM ACTED ON THE CAR NOR DID ANY ACT OF NATURE COME INTO CONTACT WITH MY CAR. IN LOOKING, THERE ARE SEVERAL PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET WITH THE SAME EXPERIENCE, WITH THE SAME EXACT GLASS BURST PATTERNS INCLUDING THE POP OUT SPOT ON THE RIGHT SIDE. WHEN I DID MOVE THE CARE TO ALLOW THE GLASS REPAIR PERSON ACCESS, CLOSING THE DOOR CAUSED THE WINDSHIELD TO FALL IN STARTING AT THE PUNCH OUT SPOT.

THE "DECORATIVE" PIECE ON THE REAR LIFTGATE THAT HAS THE REVERSE LIGHTS IS SEVERELY CONDENSATION AND FILLS WITH WATER, WHICH WILL EVENTUALLY SHORT OUT THE REVERSE LIGHTS CAUSING A SAFETY HAZARD AND THE LOCAL DEALER FUCILLO FORD WILL NOT REPAIR OR REPLACE THIS UNIT WANTS TO CHARGE ME 1300.00 TO REPAIR AND I HAD COMPLAINED THREE TIMES ABOUT IT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER THE WARRANTY. I DO NOT HAVE PHOTOS OF THIS NEXT RAINSTORM I WILL SECURE SOME AND FORWARD ON.

ON TUESDAY 29 APRIL 2020 WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND STRIKING NO BUMPS OR POTHOLES WE OBSERVED THE PANORAMIC FIXED PORTION OF THE SUNROOF CRACK FROM CORNER TO CORNER. NOTHING HAD STRUCK THE GLASS AND THE INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR TEMPERATURE WERE ABOUT EQUALIZED. THIS HAS CAUSED A SEVERE SAFETY HAZARD AND I AM NO LONGER DRIVING THE VEHICLE AS I USE THIS TO TRANSPORT MY SEVEN-MONTH-OLD GRANDSON AND CANNOT TRUST THE GLASS PANEL FORD HAS BEEN CONTACTED AND HAS NOT OFFERED ANY RESOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM

I OPENED THE REAR LIFT GATE WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND WAS LOADING STUFF INTO THE BACK OF VEHICLE; EITHER I ACCIDENTALLY HIT THE KEY FOB IN MY POCKET OR MY FOOT TRIGGERED THE AUTOMATIC OPEN/CLOSE SENSOR AND THE LIFTGATE BEGAN CLOSING ON ME AND WOULD NOT STOP EVEN ONCE IT FELT PRESSURE FROM HITTING AN OBJECT (ME). I BARELY SQUEEZED OUT OF THE WAY BEFORE IT SLAMMED SHUT; THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS NOW AND IS GOING TO KILL SOMEONE!

WHILE DRIVING IN MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN THE PASSENGER SIDE WIPER THROWS THE WATER IN FRONT OF THE DRIVERS MAIN FIELD OF VISION; THE END OF THE PASSENGER SIDE WIPER PASSES DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE DRIVER AS IT IS WIPING THE WINDSHIELD AND THE EXCESS WATER FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE WIPER IS THROWN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DRIVERS FRONT/DIRECT FIELD OF VISION MAKING IT VERY HARD TO SEE DURING THE RAIN CREATING AN EXTREME SAFETY HAZARD; THIS COULD EASILY BE REMEDIED WITH A SHORTER WIPER ARM MECHANISM ON THE PASSENGER SIDE.

THE CAR HAS HAD PROBLEMS WITH STALLING FOR SEVERAL MONTHS, WHEN IN MOTION BOTH AT LOW SPEEDS AND UP TO 40 MPH, AS WELL AS AT IDLE. EACH TIME THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS ILLUMINATED. IT HAS GIVEN CODES P2196 AND P1450. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS, AND THEY SAID IT NEEDS THE FUEL VAPOR CANISTER PURGE VALVE REPLACED. I NOTICED THAT FORD ISSUED A SAFETY RECALL FOR THE FOCUS, 18S32, FOR A FAULTY VAPOR CANISTER PURGE VALVE, AND HAVE FOUND MUCH EVIDENCE ON THE INTERNET THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ACROSS FORD PRODUCT LINES. THIS IS NOT COVERED UNDER EITHER THE EMISSIONS OR THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. *TR

ERROR CODE P1450

DRIVER DOOR DOESN'T LATCH THE FIRST TIME WE CLOSE THE DOOR.

2.0L ECOBOOST, 40,000 MILES, FWD, ENGINE TRIES TO STALL WHEN COMING TO STOP AT TRAFFIC LIGHT, ROUGH IDLE, MAKES GROANING OR THRUMMING SOUND SIMILAR TO HELICOPTER. NO POWER WHEN USING ACCELERATOR, ENGINE OFF THEN ON CLEARS ISSUE. READ P2196 CODE, CLEANED MAF SENSOR, BUT STALLING RETURNED. RANDOM, NOT REGULAR FAILURE, SO NOT ABLE TO RECREATE ON DEMAND. NO FAULT CODE LOGGED MOST RECENT INCIDENT. HAS OCCURRED 4 TIMES OVER LAST MONTH

ONE EVENING IN MAY, 2018, TOOK MY CAR TO GET GAS AND FELT THE BRAKES TOO SOFT. WHEN LEAVING THE GAS STATION, MY BRAKES WENT TO THE FLOOR. PUT EMERGENCY BRAKE ON WITH HAZARD LIGHTS AND WAS ABLE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AT A NEARBY RESIDENTIAL AREA. BRAKE FLUID WAS ADDED WITHIN MINUTES; ALL THE FLUID RAN TO THE GROUND. IT WAS TOWED NEXT MORNING TO THE DEALER. DEALER STATED THE BRAKE LINE HAD A 2" SLASH; SAID ANYTHING COULD'VE CAUSED IT. IT WAS FIXED UNDER WARRANTY. ON MARCH 7, 2020, WENT TO RUN ERRANDS. WHEN I PARKED AT LOT, THE BRAKES FELT SOFT. WHEN LEAVING THE STORE LOT, MY BRAKES WENT TO THE FLOOR, AGAIN! THIS TIME, I'M ALREADY IN TRAFFIC; SCARIEST THING EVER! AGAIN, PUT MY HAZARD LIGHTS AND AT BARELY NO SPEED AT ALL, TURNED THROUGH RESIDENTIAL STREETS TO GET HOME SAFE. AGAIN HAD IT TOWED MONDAY MORNING, BACK TO THE DEALER. I EXPLAINED THAT THIS PREVIOUSLY HAPPENED IN MAY 2018. NEW INVOICE STATES: "LEFT FRONT BRAKE HOSE LEAKING," AND "INSPECT AND FOUND LEFT FRONT BRAKE HOSE SPLITTING/LEAKING; REPLACED LEFT FRONT BRAKE HOSE, BLEED BRAKE SYSTEM, TEST DROVE AND OK AT THIS TIME." THIS TIME? I WAS TOLD THE MAY 2018 ISSUE WAS THE SAME, EXCEPT THAT ONE WAS THE BACK BRAKE HOSE. AND NO WARRANTY THIS TIME; HAD TO PAY OVER $500 FOR REPAIR. VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT FORD HASN'T MADE A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE. I TRAVEL 35 MILES DAILY TO WORK ON THE TOLL ROAD. WHAT AM I TO DO WHEN THIS HAPPENS ON A 60-MILE SPEED LIMIT HIGHWAY? I'M TERRIFIED NOW AND DON'T HAVE MANY OPTIONS FOR GETTING TO WORK. I READ ONLINE THAT OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME EXACT ISSUE WITH THE SAME VEHICLE. IF A RECALL ISN'T IN THE WORKS, I'M GETTING RID OF THIS VEHICLE, ALBEIT OUR FAMILY CAR. MY KID'S 2014 FORD FOCUS HAS HAD TRANSMISSION ISSUES FOR YEARS. I CANNOT CONTINUE TO HOPE THAT NOTHING HAPPENS, NOR CAN I CONTINUE TO PAY THIS MUCH MONEY FOR FORD'S MISTAKES. NHTSA, PLEASE - FIND THIS PROBLEM!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 20 MPH ENTERING A PARKING LOT, THE REAR WINDOW FRACTURED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A GLASS COMPANY TO HAVE THE GLASS REPLACED. THE GLASS COMPANY WAS UNABLE TO LOCATE THE CAUSE OF THE FRACTURE. THE REAR WINDOW GLASS WAS REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 74,000.

LARGE CRACKS HAVE DEVELOPED IN THE REAR, FIXED, PANORAMIC SUNROOF. THE CAR IS GARAGE STORED AND THE GLASS DOESN'T SHOW ANY SIGNS OF IMPACT ON THE OUTSIDE. THEY APPEAR TO BE STRESS FRACTURES.

JUST NOTICED A LARGE CRACK DEVELOP IN THE PANORAMIC SUNROOF - FRONT PANEL. UNFORTUNATELY I DO NOT REMEMBER THE EXACT DATE. THE CRACK STARTED SMALL AND SPREAD INTO DIFFERENT CRACKS COVERING A GOOD PORTION OF THE SUNROOF. NO EVIDENCE OF ROCK OR IMPACT. CRACKS APPEAR TO BE STRESS RELATED THOUGH I AM NOT AN EXPERT. CALLED FORD DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THIS IS NOT COVERED AS VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY. MY VEHICLE IS A 2016 FORD EDGE SPORT WITH 25K MILES. GIVEN A VERBAL ESTIMATE THAT THE PART WOULD COST $1K AND LABOR JUST SHY OF $2K FOR A TOTAL OF $3K. I WILL AGAIN REINFORCE THAT THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENT OR IMPACT AND THE CRACK APPEARED ONE MORNING AND HAVE GROWN. I AM LOOKING TO SELL THE CAR AND THIS IS IMPACTING THE FINAL PRICE I AM TRYING TO NEGOTIATE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 45 MPH, WITHOUT WARNING THE DRIVETRAIN FRACTURED, CAUSING THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE AXLE TO BECOME FRACTURED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO STEER THE VEHICLE SAFELY OFF OF THE ROADWAY. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE TECHNICIAN DETERMINED THAT THE PTV UNIT (DRIVETRAIN), TRANSMISSION AND AXLE FRACTURED AND NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER BUCKEYE FORD LONDON 110 US-42, LONDON, OH 43140 (800) 800-3673 WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED BUT NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 76,140.

11/2018 - WHILE PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY I PRESSED BRAKE TO START CAR, CAR JERKED AND PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. I PUMPED BRAKES AND THEY SEEMED TO BE OKAY. STARTED DRIVING AND PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AGAIN WHEN I WAS BRAKING. WAS ONLY ABLE TO STOP BY PUMPING BRAKES. DEALER STATED THAT A FRONT BRAKE LINE RUPTURED AND REPAIRED THE LINE. VEHICLE WAS 2 YEARS OLD. WITH UNDER 36,000 MILES ON 1/27/2020 WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET, I PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND HEARD A LOUD BANG AND THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. I TRIED PUMPING THE BRAKES AND HEARD ANOTHER BANG WITH THE PEDAL GOING TO THE FLOOR AGAIN. I WAS DOWN THE STREET FROM MY HOME SO I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR HOME AND CALL A TOW TRUCK. I HAD IT TOWED TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT BOTH FRONT BRAKE LINES HAD RUPTURED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS ON, THERE WAS WHITE SMOKE COMING FROM THE EXHAUST PIPE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FORD OF MURFREESBORO (1550 NW BROAD ST, MURFREESBORO, TN 37129 (615) 713-1436) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE BLOCK WAS FRACTURED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE BUT NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS TAKEN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 72,680.

GOT CODES FOR NO STEERING ASSIST FAULT AND NO ADVANCE TRAC, MEANING NO POWER STEERING AND NO AWD. THERE ARE RECALLS FOR THIS BUT WAS TOLD, MY CAR DIDN'T APPLY BECAUSE NOT MADE AT THE PLANTS THEY WERE MADE. TOOK MY CAR TO A FORD DEALERSHIP, HAD THEM LOOK AT IT, AFTER DISCONNECTING BATTERY FOR 10 MINUTES, BOTH CAME BACK, BUT SAID RACK AND PINION WAS BAD? MY CAR JUST PAST THE 36,000 MILES IN GARAGE MILES WERE 38804. THIS CAR ONLY DRIVES ON PAVED ROADS, NOT ALL NEW PAVED BUT GOOD ROADS. 'HOW CAN THIS BE PART BE BAD WITH JUST 2000 MILES OVER COVERAGE? WHY IS IT BAD AT THIS MILEAGE? NOT HAPPY TO HAVE TO PAY $2600.00 TO REPLACE AT SUCH LOW MILLAGE? SOMETHING WAS BAD WITH THIS PART FROM THE START!!! IF I HAVE TO REPLACE THIS PART AND NOT COVERED BY FORD PLUS MY COST TO I PAID TO HAVE THEM LOK AT IT. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER FORD, BUILT TOUGH MY ASS!!! PLANTS

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON THE INTERSTATE, THREE DIFFERENT TIMES IT SUDDENLY, WITHOUT WARNING, LOST ALL POWER AND SHUTDOWN THE CAR. NO POWER, LIGHTS, POWER STEERING, ETC. I HAD TO COAST TO A STOP ON A MAJOR INTERSTATE. ONCE I WAS STOPPED, TURNED OFF THE CAR AND IT RESTARTED LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED. THESE EVENTS WERE VERY DANGEROUS. ONCE WAS WHEN IT WAS RAINING SO WHEN THE CAR LOST POWER, THE WIPERS STOPPED AT 70 MPH SO I HAD TO NAVIGATE TO THE SHOULDER WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO SEE. A SECOND TIME WAS AT NIGHT DRIVING 70 MPH, WHEN IT SHUTDOWN, I LOST HEADLIGHTS AND I COULDN'T SEE. IT WAS TERRIFYING AS I WAS IN A REMOTE AREA OF I-49 WITHOUT ANY LIGHTING TO NAVIGATE TO THE SHOULDER. AGAIN, ONCE STOPPED AND PUT IN PARK, IT RESTARTED IMMEDIATELY. PLEASE NOTE, I'M NOT THE OWNER OF THIS CAR. I WAS DRIVING IT AS A LOANER FROM A USED CAR DEALERSHIP. THIS PROBLEM WAS SO SERIOUS I AM REPORTING DIRECTLY TO THE NHTSA AS THIS CAR HAD NO RECALLS TO ADDRESS. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET INJURIES OR DIE. I WAS TERRIFIED.

THIS IS REGARDING FORD'S SAFETY RECALL 19S26. MY CAR TOO SHOWED SIMILAR SYMPTOMS AS MENTIONED IN THE RECALL NOTICE AND THE DEALERSHIP HAD TO REPLACE THE STEERING . GEAR AND THE BOLTS. UNFORTUNATELY, MY CAR DOES NOT SHOW UP IN THE RECALL LIST EVEN THOUGH THE MAKE, MODEL AND THE MANUFACTURING PLANT MATCHES. THE REPAIRS COST ME A 100$ DEDUCTIBLE ON MY EXTENDED WARRANTY AND 60$ TO JUMP START THE CAR. OTHER COSTS INCLUDED HAVING TO DEPEND ON UBER FOR TRANSPORTATION. MY MOTIVE TO FILE THIS COMPLAINT IS TO MAKE SURE THE RECALL VEHICLE LIST IS ACCURATE.

WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT- VERY POOR LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS, IF ITS RAINING, IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE WHITE OR YELLOW DIVIDING LINE. VERY HAZARDOUS ON TWO LANE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. FOUND MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON OTHER WEBSITES. NO PICTURE APPLICABLE. SUGGEST A ROAD TEST ON 2016 FORD EDGE AT NIGHT IN RAIN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING, THE BRAKES FAILED AND THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD WHEN IT WAS DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS NO BRAKE FLUID IN THE VEHICLE AND THE BRAKE EMERGENCY WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 38,000.

10 NOV 2019, USED THE KEY FOB TO CLOSE THE REAR HATCH. CAME BACK HOME AND FOUND THE REAR WINDOW COMPLETELY SHATTERED BUT STILL INTACT. THERE WERE NO HOLES OTHER INDICATIONS OF ANYTHING THROWN AT THE WINDOW. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED TWENTY-FIVE FEET OFF THE ROADWAY IN MY PRIVATE DRIVEWAY. THERE IS NO REASON WHY THIS WINDOW SHOULD HAVE SHATTERED.

MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT READ 'CRANK CASE PRESSURE SENSOR' AND WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE 'ADD COOLANT' LIGHT CAME ON AND BEFORE I GOT TO THE NEXT TOWN, THE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON NOTIFYING ME THAT THE ENGINE WAS GOING TO SWITCH INTO THE ENGINE SAVING MODE BEING THAT IT NEEDED MORE COOLANT EMERGENTLY. I USED NEARLY A GALLON OF COOLANT THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS AND BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO A FORD DEALERSHIP" FOR DIAGNOSING AND SERVICING. THEY SAID I HAD A CRACKED BLOCK DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE WATER PUMP IS LOCATED INSIDE THE ENGINE INSTEAD OF OUTSIDE OF THE ENGINE ON THESE VEHICLES WHICH HAS BEEN RAISING HAVOC IN A LOT OF THESE ENGINES BECAUSE IT DOESN'T MAKE THE PROPER SEAL CAUSING A LEAK TO OCCUR AND THE MATERIAL THEY USE FOR THEIR WATER PUMP IS VERY THIN AND OFTEN TIMES CAUSES A LEAK FROM THE COOLANT THAT GOES DIRECTLY INTO THE ENGINE WHICH IT DID IN MY SITUATION AND CAUSE THE ENGINE TO CRACK. IF I HAD BEEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WHEN THIS WOULD'VE HAPPENED IT WOULD'VE BEEN DETRIMENTAL TO MYSELF, MY PASSENGERS AND OTHER PEOPLE ON THE ROAD AT THAT TIME!

VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN MY GARAGE OVERNIGHT. THE NEXT MORNING I PULLED THE CAR OUT OF GARAGE AND TURNED IT ON TO WARM UP. I THEN DROVE MY SON DOWN TO THE BUS STOP (ABOUT 4 HOUSES DOWN ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET) AND HEARD NOSES WE THOUGHT WAS ICE FALLING OFF VEHICLE. REALIZED THE WHOLE BACK WINDOW WAS COMPLETELY SHATTERED AND FALLING OFF. COMPLETED AN INSURANCE CLAIM AND HAD TO PAY DEDUCTIBLE TO HAVE WINDOW REPLACED. THE SAFELITE TECHNICIAN THAT COMPLETED THE REPLACEMENT STARED THIS WAS THE 4TH FORD EDGE HE'S HAD TO REPLACE THE BACK WINDOW ON THIS PAST YEAR FROM THE WINDOW SHATTERING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WATER WOULD COLLECT INSIDE THE ENTIRE REAR REFLECTOR PANEL LIGHTS SURROUNDING THE LICENSE PLATE. THE WATER WOULD CAUSE THE LIGHTS TO SHORT WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DAVIDSON FORD OF CLAY (3690 NY-31, LIVERPOOL, NY 13090, 315-860-0096) WHERE THE LIGHTS WERE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA TO FILE A COMPLAINT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH, THE REAR WINDOW SHATTERED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE DEFROSTER WAS IN USE WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO KOONS FORD OF BALTIMORE (6970 SECURITY BLVD, WOODLAWN, MD 21244, (410) 298-3800) WHERE THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THEY WOULD GET IN TOUCH WITH THE MANUFACTURER AND THEN GIVE HIM A CALL BACK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 26,000.

WE ARE THE ORIGINAL OWNERS OF THE 2016 EDGE. AT APPROXIMATELY 48,000 MILES, WE HEARD A POPPING NOISE IN THE FRONT SUSPENSION WHICH PROGRESSED TO A LOUD SQUEAKING SOUND ON BUMPS AND TURNING. THE LOCAL DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. AT 54,000 MILES, THE VEHICLE STARTED DARTING ON UNEVEN ROAD SURFACES (RAPID SHIFTS IN DIRECTIONAL STABILITY, OFTEN CHANGING LANES WITHOUT WARNING). THE LOCAL DEALER SAID THERE WERE NO TSB'S ON THAT PROBLEM AND DID NOT FIND A PROBLEM(!). I RAISED THE FRONT SUSPENSION MYSELF AND FOUND THE DRIVERS BALL JOINT ALMOST READY TO DISLODGE FROM THE CONTROL ARM. I REPLACED THE LOWER CONTROL ARM MYSELF (I AM A RETIRED AUTO INSTRUCTOR) FOLLOWING FORD'S RECOMMENDATIONS. AFTER AN ALIGNMENT, THE VEHICLE DRIVES CONSIDERABLY BETTER BUT SOMEHOW NOT PERFECT. NOTE THAT THERE IS STILL A CLUNKING IN THE FRONT SUSPENSION BUT THERE DOESNT APPEAR TO BE ANYTHING LOOSE, ALTHOUGH THE PASSENGER SIDE LOWER BALL JOINT APPEARS TO BE LOOSER THAN WHAT I WOULD EXPECT FOR THAT YEAR VEHICLE WITH THAT MILEAGE (NOW JUST AT 57,000 MILES.) THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION WHICH CERTAINLY SHOULD NOT HAPPEN ON A VEHICLE WITH THAT FEW MILES

MY FIANC WAS DRIVING HER VEHICLE WHEN SHE PRESSED THE BRAKE AND IT SEEMED TO GO TO THE FLOOR. IT WASN'T UNTIL THE LOW BRAKE FLUID LIGHT CAME ON THAT SHE REALIZED THERE WAS A PROBLEM. THANKFULLY THE LIGHT CAME ON AS SHE WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT AND THE STORE AND NOT TRYING TO SLOW DOWN FROM 55MPH. I MET HER AT THE PARKING LOT SHE STOPPED IN AND UPON INVESTIGATING I FOUND BRAKE FLUID ALL UNDER THE VEHICLE AND ALL OVER THE WHEEL LINER. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS INFORMED THE LEFT FRONT LINE RUPTURED. WE HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR 5 MONTHS AS WE BOUGHT IT CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED. DEALERSHIP INFORMED US THAT THE LINE WASN'T COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, IT HAS 24,250 MILES ON IT. THE SELLING DEALERSHIP ADVERTISED THE CPO AS BEING WORTH THE EXTRA PRICE OVER A REGULAR USED CAR BECAUSE IT WOULD TAKE CARE OF EVERYTHING WITH THE 12 MONTH/12,000 MIKE BUMPER TO BUMPER, A FLAT OUT LIE. I CONTACTED FORD AND AFTER A GREAT DEAL OF BACK AND FORTH FOR OVER A WEEK, THEY DENIED ANY ASSISTANCE. NOW I'M ON THE HOOK FOR A $600 REPAIR BILL AND WONDERING HOW LONG IT WILL BE UNTIL THE OTHER LINE BURSTS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND FORD WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I WILL BE SELLING THIS CAR ASAP AND IT WILL BE THE LAST FORD PRODUCT I EVER OWN.

LEFT FRONT BRAKE HOSE RUPTURED. I WAS DRIVING AND THE CHECK BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON. ADDED BRAKE FLUID. THE NEXT MORNING I TOOK OUT AND CAME TO THE END OF THE STEET, HAD TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC, THE BRAKE HOSE HAD RUPTURED CAUSING THE BRAKE FLUID TO LEAK OUT.

WE HAVE A 2016 EDGE AND SHORTLY AFTER DRIVING WE OPENED THE VISTA ROOF NOTICED A A LONG CRACK THAT RAN COMPLETELY FROM ONE SIDE OF THE MOVABLE WINDOW TO THE OTHER. THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS A STONE CHIP BUT HAVING LOOKED AT BLUE OVAL.COM I SEE THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN ADDRESSED BY FORD AND ALSO IGNORED. SO WE NOW HAVE TO PAY FOR THE WINDOW REPLACEMENT EVEN THOUGH IT APPEARS IT IS A PRODUCTION PROBLEM. I NOW HAVE TO PAY THE PRICE FOR THEIR LACK OF ENGINEERING AND QUALITY CONTROL.

WHILE DRIVING A MONTH AGO THE POWER STEERING FAULT WARNING LIGHT WENT ON& I LOST POWER STEERING. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED BACK ON I RECEIVED 3 WARNING LIGHTS: UPHILL START ASSIST DISABLED, POWER STEERING FAULT DISABLED & TRACTION CONTROL DISABLED. 6 STEERING GEARS HAVE BEEN REPLACED IN THE VEHICLE & IT'S STILL AT THE DEALER NOT FIXED. VEHICLE IS UNDRIVEABLE

SUDDEN REAR BACKLIGHT SHATTER IN COLD WEATHER WHEN BACKING OUT OF DRIVEWAY. OUT DOOR TEMPERATURE WA 9F. VEHICLE HAD BEEN WARMING UP IN GARAGE FOR 10 MINUTES BEFORE DRIVING.

I WAS SITING AT A RED LIGHT AND THE BACK GLASS EXPLODED. NOTHING HIT THE CAR, THE WINDOW JUST SHATTERED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2016 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING AT A LOW RATE OF SPEED, THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY UPON INITIAL IMPACT. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT'S UPPER BODY WENT INTO THE PASSENGER SEAT AND CAUSED HIS FOOT TO BECOME WEDGED INTO THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE VEHICLE THEN CRASHED INTO A GARAGE. ONLY THE DRIVER'S SIDE LEG AIR BAG DEPLOYED DURING THE SECOND IMPACT. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED AN INCOMPLETE SPINAL CORD INJURY, WHICH CAUSED HIM TO HAVE NECK SURGERY. THE DRIVER OF THE OTHER VEHICLE SOUGHT MEDICAL ATTENTION FOR THEIR UNKNOWN INJURIES. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS UNKNOWN. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED AND DEEMED TOTALED BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY (CLAIM NUMBER: 01-001-969010). THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: CAS-24820768. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 44,857.

WHILE DRIVING ON A MAJOR HEADWAY HEADED OUT OF TOWN, MY CAR STARTED TO MAKE EXCESSIVE RATTLES AND NOISES COMING FROM THE ENGINE AREA, WHEN I WOULD COME TO A STOP THE NOISE WAS MUCH LOUDER. I SMELT A SLIGHT BURNT SMELL, AND ALSO NOTICED THE GEARS JUMPING IN AND OUT. I IMMEDIATELY PARKED THE CAR, CALLED FOR HELP AND HAD THE CAR TOWED BACK. I TOOK IT TO TAMIAMI FORD, IN WHICH THEY TOLD ME THE FLEX PLATE IS CRACKED. AND I WOULD NEED A NEEDED A NEW FLEX PLATE, TORQUE, CRANKSHAFT. I HAD ABOUT 69,000 MILES ON THE CAR AT THIS POINT AND THEY SAID THE WARRANTY WAS EXPIRED AND WOULD NOT COVER THIS. THEY CONTACTED HIGHER PEOPLE AND YET STILL WOULD NOT COVER THE ISSUE. NEEDLESS TO SAY I HAD TO PAY FOR IT OUT OF POCKET. BUT AS I SEE MORE AND MORE PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING OF THE SAME ISSUE ON FORUMS. I HAVE ATTACHED PICTURES OF MY CRACKED FLEXPLATE. I HAVE A TOW BILL AND REPAIR BILL BUT NOT ON HAND AT THE MOMENT.

POWER LIFT GATE WILL NOT OPEN SOMETIMES. YOU HAVE TO GO TO THE COMPUTER, DISABLE THE LIFTGATE AND ENABLE THE LIFTGATE. SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO DO IT TWICE. FOUND THE TEMP FIX ON GOOGLE. MY FORD DEALER KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT THE PROBLEM.

WHEN PARKED AND LOCKED, THE REAR HATCH WILL UNLOCK WHEN DRIVER GONE, OR AT NIGHT. REAR HATCH DOOR WILL NOT CLOSE BY ANY SWITCH. A DANGER TO PERSONAL SAFETY AND THEFT.

IT BEGAN WITH THE DRIVER SIDE, THE BRAKE LINE STARTED LEAKING AND THE BRAKE PEDAL NEEDED TO BE PUSHED TO THE FLOOR TO INITIATE ANY FORM OF BRAKING ON THE CAR. THE CAR WAS JUST SERVICED, SO IT WAS THOUGHT THAT THE DEALER MESSED SOMETHING UP WHEN FIXING THE CAR. THEN, ONCE IT WAS FIXED 3 MONTHS LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN, THIS TIME THE LEAKAGE WAS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR. ONCE AGAIN THE BRAKES NEED TO BE PRESSED TO THE FLOOR TO WORK AND FLUID WAS LEAKING ALL OVER. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AGAIN TO BE FIXED. THEY SAID IT NEEDED TO BE PAID FOR SINCE BUMPER TO BUMPER WAS ONLY COVERED FOR 36,000 MILES. BOTH TIMES THE BRAKE LINES STARTED TO LEAK (WE WERE NEVER GIVEN A REASON BY THE DEALER HOW IT OCCURED) WHILE THE CAR WAS PARKED AND WHEN STARTING THE CAR, THE BRAKE NEEDED TO BE PUSHED DOWN ALL THE WAY TO START THE CAR AND THERE WERE WARNING LIGHTS THAT THE BRAKE FLUID WAS LOW (DUE TO THE LEAKAGE). THERE WAS MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO CONTACT FORD REGARDING THE ISSUE WITH THE CAR AND THEY SAID SINCE THAT SPECIFIC PART WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THEIR EXTENDED SERVICE PROGRAM THAT WE HAD TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. WE THOUGHT THE FIRST TIME (7/15/2019) WAS A FREAK ACCIDENT OR THE MECHANIC MESSED UP WHEN CHANGING THE FLUIDS, BUT THEN THE SAME ISSUE HAPPENED ON THE OTHER SIDE 3 MONTHS LATER (10/14/2019) AND THAT SHOULD NOT BE A COINCIDENCE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE CONTACT NOTICED AN ABNORMAL FUEL ODOR INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO BILL MARSH FORD (408 W MILE RD, KALKASKA, MI 49646, (231) 258-9192) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS A HOLE IN THE FUEL LINE AND IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FUEL ODOR RETURNED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 29,980.

HAVE A 2016 FORD EDGE AT ABOUT 64,00 MILES MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT KEPT COMING ON AND OFF, CAR WAS ALSO SPUTTERING WHEN I STARTED IT AND SOUNDS LIKE IT WILL STALL. I KEEP HAVING TO REFILL COOLANT. TOOK IT TO 3 DIFFERENT DEALERS WHO ALL SAID A CODE OF P0302 THEY ALL TOLD ME IT WAS A MANUFACTURE DEFECT OF THE COOLANT PART NOT BEING FLUSH ON THE ENGINE. I FILED A COMPLAINT THROUGH FORD WHO HAS DONE NOTHING FOR ME BECAUSE I'M OUT OF THE MANUFACTURING WARRANTY. THE SERVICE MANAGER INFORMED ME SEVERAL CARS ALL HAVING THE SAME ISSUE BUT UNDER MILEAGE FOR WARRANTY. CAR ISN'T EVEN PAID OFF AND FEEL LIKE I WAS SOLD A LEMON, NOW I NEED A NEW ENGINE AND CAN'T AFFORD ONE! WISH FORD WOULD TAKE BETTER CARE OF THEIR CUSTOMERS!!! MY ENGINE COULD BLOW!!!!!I CAN'T EVEN GET MY CAR SERVICED UNTIL DECEMBER 30TH BECAUSE DEALERSHIP HAS SO MANY CARS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE CONTACTED A LEMON LAW LAWYER IN THE HOPES THEY CAN DO SOMETHING FOR ME.

SUNROOF HAS CRACKED WITHOUT BEING HIT. TWO SPOTS IN DIFFERENT LOCATIONS ON THE FRONT HALF OF THE SUNROOF HAS WAVY CRACKS. THE CAR HAS 18,310 MILES ON IT. FORD KNOW ABOUT THIS AND CAN GIVE A [XXX] LESS. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH NEAR MY HOME, I HEARD A LOUD NOISE ON THE ROOF OF THE VEHICLE. I PULLED OVER TO SEE IF SOMETHING STRUCK THE ROOF. NOTHING ON THE GROUND AT ALL. WHEN I GOT HOME, I GOT ON A LADDER TO INSPECT THE ROOF. THE REAR GLASS PANEL WAS CRACKED ALL OVER. MY INSURER STATED IT WAS STRUCK BY A FOREIGN OBJECT. I WENT ONLINE TO CARGURU AND FOUND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE ROOF GLASS (PANORAMIC ROOF). THEY ALL CRACKED WITHOUT BEING STRUCK BY ANY FOREIGN OBJECT. THERE IS ALSO A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST FORD FOR NOT ISSUING A RECALL. THE PANELS ARE MADE OF LAMINATED GLASS, WHICH, ACCORDING TO FORD, MAKES THE GLASS MUCH MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO BREAK. FORD NOW ONLY MAKES TEMPERED GLASS ROOF PANELS, WHICH ARE STRONGER. THIS, TO ME, IS AN ADMISSION OF KNOWLEDGE OF THE PROBLEM WITHOUT ISSUING A RECALL, AND COULD HAVE CAUSED SERIOUS INJURY. MY AUTO INSURANCE HAS THE CLAIM BUT IS GIVING ME A HARD TIME DUE TO THE DEFECTIVE MATERIAL.

MY CAR HAS STARTED TO SHAKE VERY BADLY, AT LIGHTS, STOP, START, ALL TIMES. COOLANT IS LEAKING INTO THE CYLINDER HEAD CAUSING IT TO MISFIRE CONSTANTLY AND CAUSING THE SHAKES. THIS WAS REPAIRED ONCE ALREADY IN 2017, BUT THE REPAIR HAS FAILED AND IS HAPPENING AGAIN. FORD SAYS I NEED A NEW ENGINE BUT I'M OUTSIDE MY WARRANTY AND THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO COVER THE FULL REPAIR. THEY HAVE A TSB 19-2208 THAT HAS BEEN UPDATED IN JUNE OF 2019 TO CHANGE THE REPAIR FOR CYLINDER REPLACEMENT TO ENGINE REPLACEMENT. THIS ISSUE CAN CAUSE THE CAR TO OVERHEAD AND STALL IF NOT CAUGHT RIGHT AWAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED AND TWO UNKNOWN WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. IN ADDITION, THE ADAPTIVE STEERING FAULT SERVICE REQUIRED MESSAGE WAS DISPLAYED. THE CONTACT CALLED DON HINDS FORD INC (12610 FORD DR, FISHERS, IN 46038, (317) 849-9000) AND INFORMED THEM OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: CAS-24406514K1H6S2. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

I NOTICED A LARGE CRACK IN MY 2016 FORD EDGE SPORT SUN ROOF. I GOOGLED THIS ISSUE AND NOTICED THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THIS WOULD NOT BE COVERED AND THAT I COULD CALL FORD DIRECTLY. I CALLED FORD AND THEY MENTIONED THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS ISSUE. I FIND THIS HARD TO BELIEVE. I AM NOT SURE WHEN IT EXACTLY HAPPENED. SOMETIME BETWEEN SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 22ND AND MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 23RD

RIGHT FRONT BRAKE LINE FAILED RESULTING IN REDUCED BRAKING AND THE PEDAL GOING TO THE FLOOR

SHORTLY AFTER BUYING (42,353 MILES) THIS FORD EDGE, PANORAMIC SUNROOF DEVELOPED CRACKS WHILE JUST SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY. I HAD TO REPLACE IT ($802) BY SAFELITE BEFORE IT COMPLETED BRAKES AND FALLS ON TOP OF EITHER ME OR MY WIFE. I HAVE READ THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE. DID NOT KNOW THIS PRIOR TO BUY. MY WIFE IS IN CONSTANT FEAR IT MIGHT HAPPEN AGAIN AND THAT GLASS WILL FALL ON HER.

THE STATIONARY PART OF MY VISTA GLASS SUNROOF CRACKED. THERE IS NO SIGN OF IMPACT AND IT LOOKS LIKE A STRESS CRACK. FORD IS NOT WILLING TO REPLACE IT BECAUSE I AM 1 MONTH OUTSIDE THE 3 YR WARRANTY WINDOW. I LOOKED ONLINE AND I SEE THAT THERE ARE MANY OTHERS WITH THIS SAME CRACKING ISSUE.

JUST BOUGHT 2016 FORD EDGE TITANIUM W/42,000 MILES. VEHICLE JUST SITTING IN DRIVEWAY. FOUND A WAVY CRACK ON SUNROOF GLASS. ALSO FOUND THERE ARE MANY, MANY OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS WITH NOT MUCH A CONSUMER CAN DO ABOUT IT. IT IS OBVIOUS FROM MY RESEARCH THAT FORD IS WELL AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM ON THERE EDGE MODEL BUT WILL NOT FIX. I AM A VETERAN AND I AM DISABLED. CANNOT AFFORD TO GET THIS FIXED. THE DEALERSHIP HAS LEFT A VERY BAD TASTE IN OUR MOUTHS WITH DECEPTIVE PRACTICES (I HAVE PROOF). DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO. FEEL HELPLESS. WISH I NEVER WOULD HAVE GONE TO GWINNETT PLACE FORD IN GEORGIA. WISH SOMEONE COULD DO SOMETHING. JUST BOUGHT IT 3 WEEKS AGO. DO NOT EVEN HAVE THE LICENSE PLATES YET. WENT IN TO PURCHASE ON FOR 16000 TO 18000, NOW I AM AT 25,000 AND COUNTING. MY WIFE IS SO AFRAID OF THE GLASS JUST FALLING DOWN IF WE EVER OPENED IT AGAIN.

CAR SERVICED AND STATED ALL 20 LUG NUTS HAD TO BE REPLACED DUE TO ALUMINIUM CASING COVERING THE BOLT. DEFECTIVE LUG NUTS AND IF MY VEHICLE HAD A FLAT TIRE, I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO CHANGE THE TIRE DUE TO SWELLING OF THE COVERING. UNABLE TO HAVE TIRES ROTATED? AND CHANGE A FLAT TIRE DUE TO CHEAP BOLTS. ( NOT MADE IN USA) ALSO CALLED TO COMPLAIN TO FORD AND THE REPRESENTATIVE LIVED IN THE PHILIPPIANS. I AM COMPLAINING TO THE COMPANY AND PLACING ON TWITTER AND I AM A TRUMO SUPPORTER.. I WANT SOLID USA BOLTS FOR SAFETY. ALSO I CAN TAKE A PICTURE IF NEEDED. UNSURE OF WHICH MODELS THIS INVOLVES. *** SAFETY HAZARD***

WHEN DRIVING MY 2016 FORD EDGE ON THE STREET OR ON THE HIGHWAY THE CAR HESITATES 2 TAKE OFF I HAVE TO PRESS ON THE GAS REALLY HARD BEFORE IT STARTS TO TAKE OFF IT SHAKES REALLY BAD AND WHEN YOU FIRST START THE CAR IT'S SHAKING AND JERKING WHEN YOU PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE IT HESITATES TO MOVE WITH THIS HEART JERKING MOTION AND SHAKING THEN IDLES DOWN AND THEN THE CAR WILL MOVE BUT IT STILL TAKES SOME FORCE ON THE GAS PEDAL FOR THE CAR TO MOVE ALSO I NOTICED A BURNING SMELL LIKE OIL OR SOMETHING AND A VERY THICK WHITE SMOKE CLOUDING OUT OF THE EXHAUST PIPES THIS PROBLEM STARTED 3 WEEKS AGO AS OF TODAY AUGUST 28TH MY FORD EDGE WILL NOT TURN OVER I'VE TRIED REPLACING THE ALTERNATOR THE SPARK PLUGS IGNITION SWITCH IT WILL NOT TURN OVER THE CAR HAS BEEN SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY SINCE LAST FRIDAY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT A PICTURE OF A RANCH AND AND A PICTURE OF A TRIANGLE WITH A CAUTION SIGN IN THE MIDDLE HAS CAME ON AND THEN THE CAR WILL NO LONGER START

FRONT DRIVER SIDE BRAKE LINE BURST WHILE DRIVING (APPLYING THE BRAKE DURING A TURN ON A CITY STREET), WITHIN THE LAST 6 MONTHS, CAUSING THE BRAKE PEDAL TO DEPRESS ALL THE WAY TO FLOOR AND MAKING THE VEHICLE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO STOP (BY THE TIME I MADE IT HOME IT WAS HARDLY STOPPING AT ALL). FORD REPLACED THE LINE AND SAID IT HAD JUST "WORN OUT" (THOUGH THE CAR WAS JUST OVER 2 YEARS OLD AT THE TIME AND HAD UNDER 24000 MILES). TODAY (08/27/2019) THE OTHER FRONT BRAKE LINE SEEMS TO HAVE BURST (PASSENGER SIDE) AGAIN WHILE DRIVING (AGAIN WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKE THIS TIME AT A STOP LIGHT ON A CITY STREET) AND AGAIN CAUSING THE PEDAL TO GO ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND MAKING THE CAR EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO STOP. THIS IS A HAZARDOUS SITUATION AND VERY CONCERNING THAT IT HAS OCCURRED TO BOTH FRONT BRAKE LINES WITHIN THE PAST YEAR, AND ALL WHILE THE CAR IS UNDER 3 YEARS OLD AND UNDER 36,000 MILES. I AM HAVING IT TOWED TO FORD TODAY, AND NO DOUBT THEY WILL SAY THE SAME THING, AND WE WILL STUCK WITH A VEHICLE WAITING FOR ANOTHER BRAKE LINE TO BURST IN THE NEAR FUTURE. FROM I HAVE GATHERED ONLINE THIS IS AN ISSUE OTHERS HAVE FACED (SEE FOLLOWING LINK THAT SEEMS TO INCLUDE NHTSA COMPLAINTS): HTTPS://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/FORD/EDGE/2016/BRAKES/SERVICE_BRAKES.SHTML

I NOTICED A SPIDER WEB STYLE CRACK ON THE REAR SUNROOF PANEL, WHILE IT WAS PARKING.

MY 2016 FORD EDGE SPORT WITH 35K MILES HAS AN ADAPTIVE STEERING FAULT SERVICE REQUIRED LIGHT ON. THIS CAUSED THE WHEEL TO BECOME LOOSE OR COCKED AT AN ANGLE WHILE DRIVING, WHICH IS AN EXTREME SAFETY HAZARD. AFTER RESEARCHING MORE, THERE ARE MANY OTHERS WHO HAVE MENTIONED THE SAME ISSUE. THIS SHOULD BE AN IMMEDIATE SAFETY RECALL AND NOT A TSB.

CAN'T GET THE LIFT GATE TO OPEN

HANDS FREE LIFTGATE IS DANGEROUS. WHILE PUTTING GROCERIES IN BACK AND REARRANGING THINGS I TRIGGERED THE HANDS FREE LIFTGATE. THE GATE DID NOT STOP COMING DOWN WHEN I TRIED TO STOP IT WITH MY HAND AS IT WAS CLOSING. I GOT OUT OF THE WAY AS IT SLAMMED SHUT. THE GATE DOES NOT RESPOND WHEN AN OBJECT IS PUT IN ITS PATH, LIKE A GARAGE DOOR DOES. IT NEEDS TO! MY 83 YEAR OLD MOTHER HAD THE SAME THING HAPPEN TO HER (SHE HAS A 2019 EDGE)AND LUCKILY I WAS THERE AND WAS ABLE TO PUSH HER OUT OF THE WAY AND SHIELD HER HEAD. SHE NOW WILL ONLY PUT THINGS IN HER BACK SEAT, BECAUSE SHE IS AFRAID OF ACTIVATING THAT HANDS FREE LIFTGATE. WE BOTH HAD OUR KEYS IN OUR PURSE/ POCKET. THE MANUAL SAYS NOT TO HAVE IT ON YOU WHEN USING THE BACK GATE, BUT C'MON THAT ISN'T REALISTIC.

WHEN I AM DRIVING, MY VOLUME FOR THE RADIO WILL INCREASE VERY QUICKLY WHILE HAVE MY HANDS ON THE STEERING WHEEL. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING OR PARKED AND IT WILL ACCELERATE AS HIGH AS IT CAN GO. THIS CAN BE STARTLING, BECAUSE I AM NOT EXPECTING THE SOUND TO GET EXTREMELY LOUD, QUICKLY. I HAVE GONE INTO THE SETTINGS AND TURNED THE SETTING TO OFF WHEN IT ASKS ABOUT THE VOLUME INCREASING WHEN WE ACCELERATE THE GAS. HOWEVER, THIS DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. ALTHOUGH I CHOSE A DATE AT THE BOTTOM AS TO WHEN THIS HAPPENED, IT'S NOT ACCURATE. IT IS VERY RANDOM AND UNPREDICTABLE WHEN THE VOLUME INCREASES.

DRIVING ON FL HIGHWAY, AT OF SPEED OF 65 MPH, BREAKS WENT DOWN TO FLOOR NEARLY RAMMING INTO BACK OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. HAD TO SWERVE ONTO SHOULDER VEHICLE THEN STOPPED. HAD TO CONTINUE ONTO NEAREST FORD DEALER SERVICE AND BRAKE WAS MAKING AIR LEAK NOISES AND WOULD NOT COMPLETELY STOP, EVEN AT RED LIGHTS. THIS WAS ON A WEDNESDAY CAR WAS NOT LOOKED AT UNTIL FRIDAY AND WAS TOLD THEY NEEDED TO REPLACE THE BREAK BOOSTER, IT IS NOW MONDAY AND I AM STILL PAYING FOR A RENTAL CAR AND WAITING FOR MY VEHICLE TO BE REPAIRED.

I WAS TRAVELING 35 MPH ON HIGHWAY 20/20 IN GARDEN CITY IDAHO, A CAR PULLED OUT OF A PARKING LOT WITHOUT STOPPING. I HIT THE DRIVERS SIDE OF HIS CAR. MY EDGE WAS TOTALED. I HIT HARD AND HAD A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT SEAT AND TWO MORE IN THE BACK. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND I FEEL THEY SHOULD HAVE. THE ONLY ONE THAT DID WAS THE SKIRT AIRBAG AT MY LEGS.

VEHICLE HAS A MOTION SENSOR UNDER THE REAR AREA THAT ENABLES THE HATCH TO OPEN AND CLOSE WHEN YOU SLIDE YOU FOOT UNDER THE BUMPER IF YOU HAVE THE KEY FOB ON YOU. WHEN YOU BEGIN LOADING PACKAGES IF YOUR FOOT MOVES NEAR THE SENSOR THE HATCH CAN CLOSE DOWN SUDDENLY AND HIT YOU IN THE HEAD OR BACK IF YOU ARE TURNING TO EMPTY A CART. THERE SEEMS TO BE NO WAY FOR THE USER TO SHUT OFF THE MOTION SENSOR. A GOOGLE SEARCH REVEALS MANY COMPLAINTS PEOPLE HAVE MADE ON THIS TOPIC. SEVERAL FORD PRODUCTS HAVE THE SAME SYSTEM. VEHICLE IS PARKED WHEN THIS HAPPENS.

THE REAR LIGHTS ACROSS THE REAR OF THE CAR, GET FILLED WITH WATER.. THIS STARTED APPROX 2 YEARS AGO WITH SOME CONDENSATION, EACH TIME I WAS TOLD THIS WAS NORMAL AND IT WOULD DRY AFTER SOME TIME. RECENTLY IT HAS GOTTEN A LOT WORSE, AND THE WATER FILLS UP OVER THE BULBS AND DOESN'T DRY. PICTURES WERE TAKEN BY THE DEALER AND SUBMITTED TO BOTH WARRANTY CO'S. ONLY TO BE REJECTED.. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE

THE MOON ROOF GLASS IS CRACKING. NO POINT OF IMPACT. THE CAR WAS NOT HIT BY ANY FOREIGN OBJECT. WHEN CAR IS IN MOTION, THE SPIDER WEBBING CRACKS GET WORSE.

PANORAMIC ROOF HAS CRACKS. NOTHING HIT THE ROOF AND IT'S KEPT IN A GARAGE

WHILE DRIVING THE BRAKES FAILED, PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND I COULD NOT STOP. DEALER SAID FRONT BRAKE LINES HAD FAILED, ONE BURST AND THE OTHER HAD A LARGE BUBBLE IN THE LINE. VEHICLE HAS 40,000 MILES ON IT. SECOND PROBLEM IS WITH COMPUTER SCREEN, WHILE DRIVING ALL THE SYSTEMS CONNECTED TO THE COMPUTER START FAILING ONE AFTER ANOTHER, AFFECTING SAFETY SYSTEMS CONTROLLED BY THE COMPUTER. WHEN DEALER REPAIRED IT THEY SAID THE INTERFACE TO THE COMPUTER SCREEN WAS DEFECTIVE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOST ACCELERATION. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, AND THE "SEE MANUAL" MESSAGE APPEARED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 57,000.

INTERNAL LEAK FROM OIL VALVE/SWITCH ALLOWED FUMES TO LEAK INTO THE CAR FOR MONTHS AND MONTHS AND EXPOSED THE DRIVER TO TOXINS; BLOOD WORK REVEALED HIGH LEVELS OF MTBS; SYMPTOMS INCLUDE EXTREME EXHAUSTION, VISION AND COGNITIVE PROBLEMS, BALANCE ISSUES ITCHY SKIN, AND MORE. FIRST, THE FUMES SHOULD NEVER LEAK INTO THE CAR, SECOND, THE FORD SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID IT WAS OK TO DRIVE WHILE THEY ORDERED A PART, AND IT WAS NOT OK TO DRIVE BECAUSE IT WAS POISONING THE DRIVER. THE CAR HAS NOW BEEN FIXED, THE DRIVER'S RECOVERY IS ONGOING.

TRANSMISSION SHIFTER CABLE BUSHING DISINTEGRATED AND CABLE SNAPPED OFF A FEW TIMES!! THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE AFFECTING THE RECALLED 2014 FORD FUSION. THEY ARE USING THE SAME BUSHING FOR THE FORD EDGE PER THE PARTS DEPARTMENT WHERE I BOUGHT THE REPLACEMENT. THE PARTS REP SAID THEY ARE SELLING THE BUSHING FOR FORD EDGES ALL THE TIME. :(

WHEN FLAT TOWING BEHIND RV VEHICLE GOES INTO A WOBBLE. ONLY WAY TO STOP THE WOBBLE IS TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. HAPPENED WHEN ENTERING ROAD FROM SHOULDER ALSO ON A ROUGH UNEVEN ROAD. HAPPENED AT SLOW SPEED 10 TO 20 MPH.

WIPERS LOCK ON EACH OTHER & STOPS, MAKING FOR VERY DANGEROUS CONDITIONS WHEN RAINING VERY MUCH. IN MOTION, EVERY TIME IT RAINS !!!

FOUND MOON ROOF TO BE CRACKED.

STARTED VEHICLE BY PUSHING THE BRAKE AND HEARD A NOISE. CAR STARTED AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. COMPUTER IN CAR STARTED READING LOW BRAKE FLUID. HAD CAR TOWED TO FORD DEALERSHIP. HYDRAULIC BREAK LINE BROKE ON RIGHT FRONT WHEEL. CAR ONLY HAS 62,000 MILES. I BELIEVE THIS IS SAFETY DEFECT AND FORD SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR CORRECTING THIS.

THE SYNC3 NAVIGATION SYSTEM STOPS RESPONDING AT DIFFERENT TIMES WHILE DRIVING. THE VEHICLES NAVIGATION, RADIO, HEAT CONTROLS BECOME INOPERABLE. THE FUNCTIONALITY MAY BE RETURNED AFTER A REBOOT OF THE SYSTEM. THIS HAPPENS WHEN BOTH PARKED AND WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE AT NORMAL HIGHWAY SPEEDS.

SUNROOF GLASS CRACKED FOR NO APPARENT REASON. ONE DAY IT WAS FINE, NEXT DAY IT WAS CRACKED. I TOOK TO FORD DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME $1,000 TO REPAIR AND THAT THEY USE 3RD PARTY TO REPAIR. MY CAR IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY, BUT THEY SAID IT IS NOT COVERED. I DID RESEARCH AND MANY OTHERS HAVING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE.

SUDDEN FAILURE OF BRAKES (PEDAL DEPRESSED TO FLOOR) PULLING OUT OF STORE PARKING LOT. FORD REPAIR NOTED THIS WAS DUE TO BRAKE FLUID LEAK FROM RIGHT FRONT BRAKE DUE TO 'EXCESSIVE MATERIAL FATIGUE'.

WHEN COMING TO A STOP AT AN INTERSECTION THE PROXIMITY SENSORS GO OFF INADVERTENTLY FREQUENTLY WHEN THERE IS NO OBJECT THERE. WE HAVE TAKEN IT TO FORD SERVICE SEVERAL TIMES ONLY TO BE TOLD EVERYTHING CHECKS OUT OKAY. THIS HAPPENS ON A DAILY BASIS AND IS VERY ANNOYING AND MAKES US NOT TRUST THE SENSORS SINCE THEY SENSE OBJECTS THAT ARE NOT VISIBLE. THIS USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN SLOWING DOWN FOR A STOP SIGN AT AN INTERSECTION OR STOP LIGHT. IT CAN GO OFF ON EITHER SIDE EVEN THROUGH NO OTHER VEHICLES OR OBJECTS ARE THERE. MY WIFE HAS RECORDED THIS ON HER PHONE TO SHOW THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT BUT SO FAR THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DUPLICATE IT. WHEN WE SHOWED THEM THE VIDEO THEY SAID THEY HAD ANOTHER PERSON RECORD A VIDEO OF THE SAME ISSUE ON ANOTHER FORD EDGE UNDER SLOWING OR COMING TO A STOP AT AN INTERSECTION. THIS REPORT WANTS A SPECIFIC DATE REPORTED WHEN THIS HAPPENED HOWEVER AS MENTIONED THIS HAPPENS ON A REGULAR BASIS AND HAS DONE SINCE IT WAS PURCHASED NEW FROM FORD COUNTRY IN HENDERSON, NV. WE HAVE TAKEN IT INTO TWO DIFFERENT DEALERS TRYING TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM TAKEN CARE OF BOTH GAUDIN FORD IN LAS VEGAS,NV AND FORD COUNTRY WHERE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN HENDERSON, NV

SINCE PURCHASED AS A CERTIFIED PRE OWNED, THERE IS ALWAYS A VERY NOTICEABLE CLICKING NOISE FROM THE ENGINE WHEN COLD, AND GRADUALLY QUIETS WHEN WARMED UP... SIMILAR TO A STICKING VALVE LIFTER. THE SERVICING DEALER CHECKED WITH FORD AND SAID THE ENGINEERS ARE WORKING ON THE ISSUE, BUT THERE ARE NO REPAIRS FOR THIS CONDITION AND IT WILL NOT HARM THE ENGINE.

THE ADAPTIVE STEERING FAULT SERVICE REQUIRED LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. THERE IS A TSB ON THIS AND THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE STEERING WHEEL TO FIX IT. NOW IT IS COMING ON AGAIN WITH THE NEW STEERING WHEEL AND WILL NEED TO GO BACK TO THE DEALER FOR SERVICE. IT CAME ON DURING A HIGHWAY TRIP FROM NEW ORLEANS TO DAYTONA AND HAS STAYED ON EVER SINCE. THE STEERING WHEEL IS TILTED LEFT AS A RESULT.

DRIVING VEHICLE OUT OF DEVELOPMENT WHEN I EXPERIENCED THE BRAKES CATASTROPHICALLY FAIL. I PUSHED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WITH LITTLE RESPONSE. THE DEALER SAID THE MASTER CYLINDER LEAKED INTO THE BOOSTER CAUSING BOTH COMPONENTS TO FAIL. OVER $1,000 ON REPAIR AND NO TANGIBLE SOLUTION. FEARFUL!

REAR WINDOW SHATTERED FOR NO APPARENT REASON.

THIS IS THE SECOND FAILURE OF THE ADAPTIVE POWER STEERING ON MY 2016 EDGE SPORT WITH 22,500 MILES ON IT. THE FIRST TIME WAS WHEN THE CAR HAD 8800 MILES ON IT AND FORD WOUND UP REPLACING THE WHOLE STEERING WHEEL IN AUGUST OF 2017. THIS MORNING IT HAPPENED AGAIN ALMOST IDENTICALLY TO THE LAST TIME. I WAS BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE STEERING WHEEL OUT OF NOWHERE TURNS 90 DEGREES TO THE LEFT TO WHERE THE TOP OF THE STEERING WHEEL NOW POINTS TO THE RIGHT WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT. I HAVE A APPOINTMENT TO BRING TO MY FORD DEALERSHIP ON 1/31/19.

I OPENED THE SUNROOF COVER AND IT REVEALED A LARGE CRACK IN THE GLASS. I'VE ALREADY HAD THE SUNROOF REPLACED ONCE UNDER WARRANTY FROM FORD FOR A SIMILAR CRACK.

REAR WINDOW GLASS COLLAPSED / CRUMBLED DURING NORMAL USE. THE WINDOW DID NOT SHOW ANY INITIAL SIGN OF CRACKING OR FAILURE. IT APPEARS THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL THAT TO DATE FORD HAS NOT ADDRESSED BY RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AT THE TIME HOWEVER IT COULD HAVE OCCURRED THE NEXT TIME THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN. THIS COULD BE RISK TO PASSENGERS OF THE VEHICLE OR OTHER VEHICLES FOLLOWING.

PANORAMIC ROOF CRACKED WITH NO IMPACT - APPEARS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET ON 12/27/18 WHEN THE RIGHT REAR PASSENGER DOOR OPENED. I PARKED THE CAR AND TRIED TO CLOSE IT BUT I COULDN'T. I TURNED THE CHILD PROOF LOCK AND IT STILL WOULDN'T CLOSE. CALLED FORD IN WOODBURY,NJ AND BRIAN TOLD ME THERE WERE NO RECALLS AND THEY WERE BUSY BUT THEY'D TRY AND TAKE A LOOK. I TOOK IT TO OUR LOCAL GAS STATION AND MIKE, THE MECHANIC, SAID THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO HIS FORD TRUCK AND OTHER PEOPLES CARS. HE GOT A SCREW DRIVER AND HE WAS ABLE TO CLOSE THE DOOR. MY 5 YR OLD GRANDDAUGHTER WAS SITTING THERE WHEN IT OPENED. WE WERE GOING TO BE RIDING ON THE NJ TURNPIKE AND GARDEN STATE PKWY. THANK GOD IT DIDN'T OPEN THEN. THE MECHANIC SAID THE LOCK FROZE.

WHILE DRIVING ON EXPRESSWAY AT 70 MPH. IN TRAFFIC ENGINE LOST POWER CAR STARTED SLOWING DOWN AND WOULD NOT SPEED BACK UP. THE WRENCH AND THE HILL ASSIST NOT AVAILABLE ICONS WERE ON. TURNED ON FLASHERS AND PEOPLE BEHIND ME GAVE ME ROOM TO CHANGE LANES AND PULL TO THE SHOULDER. ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING ROUGHLY. HIT ENGINE STOP BUTTON, WAITED A FEW SECONDS TRIED TO RESTART. IT CRANKED AND FINALLY RESTARTED. WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME WITH NO PROBLEMS. MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH FORD DEALER AND THEY ACTED LIKE IT WAS NO BIG DEAL.

THE REAR WINDOW OF MY EDGE EXPLODED WITH NO ONE IN THE VEHICLE'. MY WIFE REMOTE STARTED THE CAR, THEN LATER SHE WENT OUT TO GET THE NEWSPAPER AND GO SHOPPING WHEN SHE NOTICED GLASS ON THE GROUND BEHIND THE CAR. THINKING IT WAS VANDALIZED WE CALLED THE POLICE. UPON THE PATROLMAN'S EXAMINATION HE NOTED THAT IT LOOKS LIKE IT WAS BROKEN FROM THE INSIDE! I AGREED. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY AND WAS LOCKED.

LOST CONTROL ON MY STEARING DRIVING TO MY WORK THIS MORNING. I WAS DRIVING ON STRAIGHT ROAD WHEN I STARTED EXPECTING LOST OF STEARING, CAR WAS ALMAST START DRIVING TO THE CURB. I PUT ON BREAKS AND CAR WOULDN'T STOP. TRYED TO MANEUVER CAR TO STOP FROM GOING ON CURB AND TURNING TO OPPOSITSIDE BUT THERE WAS OUTCOMING TRAFFIC, BUT WAS VERY UNFORTUNATE TO CONTROL THAT IS WAS STILL DRIVING EVEN I WAS PUSHING ON THE BREAKS AND CAR WENT ALL THE WAY TO SIDE OF THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION AND FLUE TO THE FIELD AND DREW THERE FOR 100-200 FEET UNTILL IT IS STOPPED. I WAS LUCKY SURVIVE, BECAUSE THERE WAS ELECTRIC POLE AND SOME UNEVEN LAMDSCAPE THAT I CULD BEEN INJURED OR EVEN DEAD. DANGEROUS! CAN'T EXPLAIN FEAR I EXPERIENCED THIS MORNING. SCHEDULED TIME WITH FORD AT SAWMILL IN DUBLIN, OHIO TO CHECK WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS CAR!

GOT AN ERROR MESSAGE: "ADAPTIVE STEERING FAULT, NEED SERVICE", JUST AFTER THE MANUFACTURE WARRANTY EXPIRED. NEED TO SPEND ABOUT 1.8K TO FIX THIS. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE FOR MANY 2016 FORD EDGE SPORT. REALLY CONCERN ABOUT THE QUALITY AND SAFETY OF FORD CARS. SO DISAPPOINTED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD EDGE. WHILE THE CONTACT'S WIFE WAS DRIVING 25-35 MPH, SHE HEARD AN EXPLOSIVE NOISE. THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS APPLIED, BUT FAILED TO RESPOND AND TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE BRAKE LINE EXPLODED. THE CONTACT ASSUMED THAT THE BRAKE LINE WAS TAMPERED WITH AND A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. WHILE DRIVING AT UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THE DRIVER'S SIDE BRAKE LINE EXPLODED. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 173,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TAKATA RECALL

TAKATA RECALL AUTONATION HAS SENT A LETTER FOR RECALL ON TAKATA AIRBAGS BUT HAS NO REPLACEMENT AIRBAGS.THERE IS ALSO A RECALL FOR CORRODED GAS TANK. I SEE NONE OF THESE IN YOUR RECALL DATABASE SO I ASSUME THE RECALL HAS BEEN RESCINDED.I WAS WAITING FOR AIRBAGS TO COME IN TO GET IT REPAIRED TOGETHER. THAT NEVER HAPPENED. THIS IS A COMPLAINT ABOUT THE PROCESS WHICH LEAVES IT UNRESOLVED BY FORD.

IF DRIVING IN A VERY SLIGHT DRIZZLE OR MIST, THE WIPERS DO NOT OPERATE PROPERLY IN THE INTERMITTENT MODE OR SINGLE SWIPE OPERATION. THE WIPERS WIPE THE MOISTURE OFF, THEN STICK, OR STUTTER AND JUMP ON THE RETURN. AT HIGHWAY SPEED WIND GETS UNDER THE WIPER WHEN IT JUMPS AND CAUSES A HARD SLAP AGAINST THE WINDSHIELD. THIS IS DANGEROUS AS VISIBILITY IS IMPAIRED - PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS AT NIGHT IN A SLIGHT RAIN. UPLOADED IS RECORD OF REPAIR VISIT. MORE SERIOUS EVENTS ON LONG ROAD TRIP 09/25-10/14/2018.

I AM CONTINUING TO DOCUMENT EACH OCCURRENCE OF THE ADAPTIVE STEERING FAULT SERVICE REQUIRED LIGHT. BY THE TIME I GET TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND THE VEHICLE WILL NOT HOLD THE CODES. THE LIGHT GOES OUT. IT CAME ON OCTOBER 28, 2018 AT 9PM AT 21870 MILES. I WENT BACK TO MY VEHICLE FIVE MINUTES LATER AND IT WAS OUT. I DROVE TO WORK THIS MORNING AND THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. I WAS DRIVING AROUND 5/10 MPH AND THE STEERING WHEEL WAS TILTED TO THE RIGHT DESPITE THE WHEELS BEING STRAIGHT. IF I CAN'T TAKE IT DO THE DEALER AND HAVE THEM ADDRESS IT, I'M NOT SURE WHAT ELSE TO DO. THERE IS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN ON THIS TO REPLACE THE STEERING WHEEL BUT I AM TOLD THAT SINCE THE VEHICLE WON'T RETAIN THE CODES WHEN THE LIGHT GOES OUT, THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING.

I PARKED MY CAR IN A LOT W/OUT ANY ISSUES. WHEN I RETURNED TO THE VEHICLE AND STARTED THE CAR AND PUT THE CAR INTO REVERSE GEAR, A WARNING LIGHT "ADAPTIVE STEERING FAILURE" WAS DISPLAYED. THE WHEEL SEEMED TO NOT BE CENTERED WHEN DRIVING STRAIGHT. I EVEN TRIED SHUTTING OFF THE CAR AND RESTARTING, BUT TO NO AVAIL. I PARKED IT AT HOME AND THE NEXT DAY STARTED IT TO SHOW MY HUSBAND AND THE LIGHT WAS NO LONGER ON. THE STEERING WHEEL STILL SEEMS OFF THOUGH. I'M TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THE CAR AND AM HOPING THE DEALERSHIP WILL BE THOROUGH IN INVESTIGATING THE REASON FOR THIS.

ADAPTIVE STEERING FAULT. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND TRANSMISSION IN PARK MILEAGE 33205.9. UPON STARTING, THE WARNING MESSAGE APPEARED. AFTER ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF MESSAGE, THE DASH LIGHT REMAINED ON. IMMEDIATELY DROVE TO DEALER FOR SERVICE AND SHOWED WARNING TO SERVICE MANAGER. WAS NOT ABLE TO HAVE A TECHNICIAN REVIEW ISSUE AS TO LACK OF AVAILABILITY. SCHEDULED NEXT AVAILABLE APPOINTMENT, 6 DAYS LATER. ADVISED THAT SITUATION IS SAFE TO DRIVE. LIGHT WENT OFF UPON SHUTDOWN. WARNING APPEARED AGAIN AT 33324.1 MILES, STATIONARY IN PARK. RETURNED TO DEALER DURIN APPOINTMENT. ADVISED AFTER TECHNICIAN ASSESSMENT THAT I HAVE A FAULTY ADAPTIVE STEERING COMPONENT REQUIRE STEERING WHEEL REPLACEMENT. NEED TO HAVE FORD AUTHORIZATION FOR REPAIR, RESCHEDULED FOR SERVICE REPAIR. ADVISED THAT THERE IS NO VEHICLE LOANER FOR THIS SERVICE. ALSO, ADVISED THAT IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE WITH THIS CONDITION. VEHICLE HAS EXHIBITED A STIFFNESS IN STEERING SINCE THIS INCIDENT HAS STARTED. CONFIDENCE ON VEHICLE'S SAFETY IS COMPRISED.

FORD EDGE SEL 2016 VIN * [XXX] 22,500 MILES SINCE I ACQUIRED IT (HE,SHE) HAS A PROBLEM OF WHEN I AM TRAVELING A HIGHWAY AND THE SPEED COMES TO 60 MPH THE ENGINE IS IN DISCHARGE REVOLUTIONIZE RAISING A HILL AN EVIL ENTERS(APPROACHES) SMELL OF GASES OF THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR, I HAVE TO REDUCE THE SPEED AND OPEN CRYSTALS OF THE CAR IN ORDER THAT THE SMELL GOES OUT AND COULD BE BREATHED WELL. I IT HAVE TAKEN IN 3 OCCASIONS TWO WORKSHOPS AUTHORIZED BY FORD FOR GUARANTEE AND THEY CANNOT FIND ANYTHING, THEY ME INFORM THAT THE COMPUTER DOES NOT REFLECT ANYTHING. THE LAST OCCASION I ASKED THEM TO REALIZE A TEST(PROOF) OF ROAD WITH A SCANNER AND THEY REFUSED. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE ADAPATIVE STEERING FAULT SERVICE REQUIRED LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON. IT'S COME ON SEVERAL TIMES BUT SINCE THE DEALERSHIP CAN'T OR WON'T FIX IT BECAUSE THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND LIGHT GOES OUT AND APPARENTLY DOES NOT STORE CODES, I'VE BEGUN THE PROCESS TO DOCUMENT THE DATES, TIMES AND MILEAGE IT COMES ON AND GOING FORWARD WILL TAKE A PICTURE EVERY TIME IT HAPPENS. IT HAPPENED ON OCTOBER 3, 2018 AT 930 @ 21,499 MILES AS I WAS PULLING INTO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY TOLD ME THEY COULD "SEE" IT OR GET TROUBLE CODES. ON OCTOBER 11, 2018 AT 0900 AND 1620. IT WENT OUT WHEN I DROVE AT LUNCH ON THE 11TH AND THEN CAME BACK ON WHEN I WAS DRIVING HOME. THERE IS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN ON IT BUT THEY REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING. I'M PETRIFIED TO DRIVE A VEHICLE WITH LESS THAN 22,000 MILES ON IT AND FORD DOES NOT SEEM TO CARE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD EDGE. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE INCREASED TO "HOT" AND THE "COOLANT OVERHEATED" MESSAGE DISPLAYED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO PARK CITY FORD (3333 INWOOD RD, DALLAS, TX) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT AN ELECTRICAL VOLTAGE SURGE HAD DAMAGED THE BATTERY, WIRE HARNESS, FUSE BOX, AND COOLING FAN. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 37,000.

REAR WINDOW SHATTERED FOR NO REASON ON MY 2016 FORD EDGE SPORT WITH ONLY 19,000 MILES. GOT OUT OF MY CAR AND CLOSED MY FRONT DOOR AND POP AND CRUMBLING NOISE ONLY TO DISCOVER THE REAR WINDOW CAVED IN WAS ALL SHATTERED AROUND THE BOTTOM EDGES. HAVE SEEN SEVERAL POSTS, PICS AND FORUMS ONLINE ABOUT THIS HAPPENING. WHY IS FORD NOT BEING HELD ACCOUNTABLE. DEALER SAID IT'S NOT COVERED DESPITE'S IT BEING A COMMON ISSUE. HAD TO FILE AN INSURANCE CLAIM AND PAY MY DEDUCTIBLE FOR SOMETHING THAT FORD SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR. LUCKILY I WAS PARKED WHEN IT HAPPENED.

THE ADAPTIVE STEERING FAULT SERVICE REQUIRE LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON. WHEN TRYING TO GET THE DEALERSHIPS TO LOOK INTO IT I AM TOLD IT WON'T SHOW AN CODES OR THEY DON'T SEE THE LIGHT. I DON'T KNOW HOW THIS IS POSSIBLE. THEY SAY THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE AND BY THE TIME IT COMES ON AGAIN IT WILL TURN OFF AFTER SO MANY "KEY" CYCLES. APPARENTLY, THERE IS A KNOWN ISSUE BUT THEY STILL WON'T DO ANYTHING TO FIX IT. IT MAKES THE STEERING WHEEL CROOKED AND SEEM LIKE IT'S STEERING WRONG. I JUST HOPE THE STEERING DOESN'T FAIL WHILE DRIVING IT.

6 MONTHS AGO I HAD MY WIPER BLADES REPLACED AS RECOMMENDED BY DEALER. WVER SINCE THEN IF ITS RAINING MILDLY THE DRIVERS WIPER BLDE GETS STUCK AND IT WAS WHILE I WAS TRAVELING ON A TRIP. FELT UNSAFE. FORD HAS REPLACED THESE BLADES TWICS AND EVEN THE MOTOR FOR WIPERS. IT IS STILL HAPPENING. I THINK QUALITY OF THE BLADES ARE NOT GOOD. THIS ALWAYS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING AND IF IT WAS NOT HEAVILY RAINING JUST REGULAR RAIN. I MUST SAY HOWEVER THT FORD DEALER HAS TRIED THEIR VERY BEST AND HAVE ALWAYS BEEN WONDERFUL. I JUST FEAR THAT WIPER BLADES ARE NOT OF GOOD QUALITY

SEPT 5,2018 HAD A BAD ACCIDENT WHOLE FROM END CRUSHED HIT MY HEAD ON SIDE WINDOW AND BRUISED RIBS FROM SEAT BELT AIR BAG NEVER WENT OFF. THE OTHER CAR INVOLVED AIR BAGS DEPLOYED FRONT AND SIDE, COLLISUION SHOP EVEN SAID AIR BAGS SHOULD HAVE GONE OFF THE CAR WAS IN MOTION CROSSING STREET ON A CITY STREET COULDN'T EVEN DRIVE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED

BRAKES FAILED AND ACCIDENT RESULTED

THE CAR WAS PARKED. THE HEAD LIGHTS TURNED ON/OFF A COUPLE OF TIMES, THE INTERIOR LIGHTS TURNED ON/OFF, AND THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER DOOR WINDOWS OPENED AND CLOSED SPONTANEOUSLY. BOTH KEY FOBS WERE IN THE HOUSE AT LEAST 40 FEET FROM THE CAR. THE CAR DOES NOT HAVE REMOTE START OPTION. THE CAR WAS PARKED IN FRONT OF AN ATTACHED GARAGE. THE HOUSE IS IN A RURAL AREA AT LEAST 1/4 MILE FROM THE NEAREST HOUSE. THE OBVIOUS CONCERN IS SECURITY WITH REGARD TO THEFT IN AN URBAN SETTING. ALSO POSSIBLE WATER DAMAGE IF THIS WAS TO OCCUR DURING A RAINSTORM. IT WAS WITNESSED BY THREE DIFFERENT PEOPLE. THE ONLY "RF" DEVICES ACTIVE IN THE HOUSE WERE A CORDLESS PHONE, TWO CELL PHONES, AND A WIFI ROUTER.

I BOUGHT A 2016 EDGE TITANIUM LAST YEAR. THE WRENCH ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON THIS WEEK. WHEN I TOOK THE EDGE TO THE DEALER, THE FIRST THING THE DEALERSHIP DID WAS LOOK INTO THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND EXPLAINED THAT MY WIRES AND SENSORS WERE CHEWED BY RABBITS OR MICE. I LEARNED THE ELECTRICAL WIRING SYSTEM IS SOY BASED. I ASKED IF THE DEALER COULD REPLACE THE WIRES AND SENSORS WITH NON-SOY PRODUCTS AND WAS TOLD FORD DOES NOT MAKE A NON-SOY BASED WIRING SYSTEM. I LIVE IN COLORADO AND WE USE OUR VEHICLES OUT SIDE FOR CAMPING, VACATIONS, AND DRIVING. ANIMALS APPARENTLY LOVE SOY. THERE ARE PLENTY OF OPPORTUNITIES FOR ANIMALS TO DESTROY WIRING SYSTEMS WHERE I LIVE. THIS COST ME $1,050. THIS ALSO HAPPENED TO MY BROTHER WHO LIVES IN MISSOURI. HE HAD A 2016 FORD FUSION. IT WAS PARKED IN HIS DRIVEWAY 4 WEEKS. HE COULD NOT START HIS CAR AND HAD IT TOWED TO HIS DEALERSHIP. HE WAS INFORMED HE HAD TO HAVE HIS ELECTRICAL WIRING AND SENSORS REPLACED, WHICH COST HIM $2,000. THIS NEVER HAPPENED TO ME BEFORE, OR MY BROTHER, AND I HAVE PURCHASED FORDS SINCE THE 1970S. I FEEL FORD SHOULD OFFER THE OPTION TO REPLACE THESE DEFECTIVE WIRING SYSTEMS WITH A NON-SOY PRODUCT AND REIMBURSE US FOR THIS DAMAGE. WHEN THE DEALERSHIP IS DONE WITH THE REPAIR, I WILL BE HAPPY TO PROVIDE THE REPAIR BILL.

THE FRONT SUNROOF ON MY FORD EDGE 2016 CRACKED FOR NO REASON. DOES NOT APPEAR TO HAVE BEEN HIT BY ANY OBJECT. HAS WAVY CRACK WHICH STARTS ON FRONT DRIVER SIDE CORNER AND RUNS BACKWARD. I OPENED THE INSIDE COVER WHILE PARKED ON A CITY STREET AND NOTICED THE CRACK.

MY BRAKES WERE SEVERED FROM INSIDE THE ENGINE. I HAD NO BRAKES DRIVING AND I AM IN SALES AND DRIVE FOR A LIVING. THEY TOLD ME IT COULD HAPPEN AGAIN SINCE THERE ARE 4 HOSES TOTAL AND ONLY ONE WAS REPAIRED I COASTED INTO THE GOODYEAR IN TUSTIN, CA

THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL WILL SLAM ON THE BRAKES WHEN PASSING A LARGE TRUCK IN AN ADJACENT LANE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. IT SEEMS TO BE MOST PREVALENT WHEN IT IS CLEAR AND SUNNY. THE VEHICLE THINKS THERE IS AN OBSTACLE IN OUR LANE. THE SYMPTOMS ARE THE SAME AS THOSE OUTLINED IN A RECALL ISSUED FOR THE 2015-2016 FORD F-150 TRUCKS.

VEHICLE LOST ASSISTED STEERING WHILE IN A PARKING LOT, MAKING IT INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT TO STEER. THE SCREEN ON THE DASH POPPED UP WITH THE MESSAGES'STEERING ASSIST FAULT' 'SERVICE ADVANCETRAC' AND 'HILL START ASSIST DISABLED'. I AM 250LBS, AND I FOUND IT VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER TURN THE WHEEL. THERE IS NO DOUBT IN MY MIND THAT IF MY WIFE WAS TRAVELING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHEN IT HAPPENED, IT WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN A WRECK. FORD SAID THE STEERING GEAR WAS THE PROBLEM, AND IT WOULD BE $2397.25 FOR THE REPAIR. THE VEHICLE HAS 40,700 MILES AND I CAN'T BELIEVE SOMETHING AS CRITICAL AS THE STEERING WOULD FAIL AT SUCH LOW MILEAGE.

TAKATA RECALL, FOR THE PAST TWO MONTHS I HAVE HAD A WARNING MESSAGE COME UP "ADAPTIVE STEERING FAULT SERVICE REQUIRED" THE SERVICE THAT IS REQUIRED, IS TO REPLACE MY STEERING WHEEL. ADAPTIVE STEERING WAS PLACED ON ALL 2016 FORD EDGE TITANIUM, NOW I'M WORRIED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY CAR, BECAUSE THERE IS A FAULT AND THE ONLY WAY TO FIX THE FAULT IS TO PAY AND REPLACE A STEERING WHEEL ON A CAR THAT'S LESS THEN 5 YEARS OLD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD EDGE. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS REVERSING FROM A PARKING SPACE, THE SUN ROOF CRACKED AROUND THE EDGES OF THE SUN ROOF FRAME. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (VERNER-CADBY FORD, 1240 BLOOMFIELD AVE, FAIRFIELD, NJ 07004, (973) 575-0333), BUT THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE TECHNICIAN INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE SUN ROOF FAILURE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE VEHICLE'S WARRANTY; THEREFORE, ANY REPAIRS WOULD BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE VEHICLE OWNER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE SUN ROOF FAILURE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE VEHICLE'S WARRANTY. NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 19,800.

MY SUNROOF HAS CRACKED 4 TIMES. THERE MULTIPLE WAVY CRACKS ALL OVER THE WINDOWS. IT HAS BEEN REPLACED 3 TIMES AND AFTER THE THIRD ROOF, IT WAS CRACKED AGAIN WITHIN A MONTH. MY DEALER WILL NOT FULLY COVER THIS ROOF. I AM TOLD THAT IT IS FROM ROCK CHIPS BUT HONESTLY BELIEVE THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE GLASS OR POSSIBLY THE FRAME TO CAUSE THE CRACKS. ONCE I GET A NEW GLASS, IT IS CRACKED AGAIN WITHIN A MONTH. I AM WORRIED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THE GLASS. MY REAR WINDOW SHATTERED AS WELL WHILE PARKED AND FROM CLOSING THE DRIVER DOOR. I BELIEVE MY SUN ROOF HAS CRACKED ON STATIONARY AND DRIVING CONDITIONS.

I HAD AN ACCIDENT ON NOVEMBER 30, 2016. I WAS HIT HEAD ON ON A CITY STREET AND SPUN AROUND. I TRIED TO PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKES BECAUSE MY CAR KEPT GOING BUT THE AIRBAG WAS IN THE WAY AND I COULDN'T GET TO THE BRAKE. MY CAR KEPT GOING AND I WAS HEADED FOR AN OFFICE BUILDING. I RAN INTO THE BUILDING BECAUSE I COULDN'T GET MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE DUE TO THE AIRBAG IN THE WAY. THIS ACCIDENT COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE IF THERE WERE OTHER CARS IN THE AREA THAT I NEEDED TO AVOID OR IF I WAS HEADED FOR A CLIFF MY CAR WAS TOTALED.

MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING WHEN HE OPENED THE SUN VISOR. I LOOKED AND THOUGHT THERE WAS ICE ON THE SUNROOF BECAUSE OF THE STRANGE SWIRL PATTERN. IT IS NOT COLD ENOUGH TO HAVE ICE LIKE THAT WHERE I LIVE. MY HUSBAND SAYS LOOK ITS CRACKED. THE PANORAMIC SUNROOF CRACKED IN A SWIRLED PATTERN. I TOOK THE CAR TO A PROFESSIONAL AUTO GLASS PLACE AND THE REPAIR GUY SAID HE DID NOT SEE ANY SPOTS WHERE THERE WOULD BE IMPACT. SO I THOUGHT MAYBE IT WAS A GLASS DEFECT. I TOOK TO THE DEALER AND THE SERVICE MANAGER GETS UP AND STARTS POKING THE GLASS WITH A PEN AND SAYS THERE ARE 2 PLACES OF IMPACT SO IT MUST HAVE HAD A ROCK HIT IT AND SKIP ALONG AND CRACK IT TWICE.

CAR STALLS OUT AND LOSES POWER AND SYMPTOMS HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO BE FATAL. THIS USUALLY HAPPENS UNDER ACCELERATION AND HAS ALMOST CAUSED 2 REAR-END ACCIDENTS. AS I ACCELERATE THE CAR THUMPS WHEN THE ENGINE STALLS AND THEN THE CAR LOSES ALL ACCELERATION. THIS SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER IS ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS WHEN HAPPENING ON THE HIGHWAY OR RAMP GETTING UP TO THE HIGHWAY. THESE ARE THE TWO PLACES IT CONSISTENTLY HAPPENS. THE CAR HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP TO BE SERVICED 5 TIMES FOR THE SAME ISSUE WITHOUT RESOLUTION. I WON'T LET MY FAMILY DRIVE THE CAR FOR FEAR OF INJURY TO HER. I'M PAYING FOR A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS VEHICLE AND I DON'T GET THE SENSE THAT FORD IS TRYING TO FIX THE ROOT ISSUE.

ENGINE SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING WITH NO WARNING. VEHICLE ENTERED "ACCESSORY MODE" WHICH KEPT ALL OF THE INSTRUMENTS LIGHT UP, WAS ABLE TO STEER OFF THE ROAD AND RE-START THE CAR. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET WITH HEAVY TRAFFIC.

CAR DRIVING AT 55-70 MPH STRAIGHT LINE DOWN HIGHWAY AND SUDDENLY DIES. CAR STILL HAS ACCESSORY POWER, HIT HAZARD LIGHTS AND TRIED TO COAST TO SIDE OF ROAD WITHOUT GETTING HIT. UPON STOPPING CAR WILL IMMEDIATELY RESTART. YELLOW WRENCH LIGHTS UP ON DASH.

DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT 80 MPH IN MOTION WHEN THE CAR STARTED TO GO INTO 'LIMP MODE.' THE DASH STATED THERE WAS 'LOW OIL PRESSURE' AND 'CHECK AIRBAGS.' WITHIN THE NEXT THREE SECONDS THE CAR STARTED TO LOSE POWER AND POWER STEERING WAS SHUT OFF. THE CAR STARTED SLOWING DOWN AT A DRAMATIC RATE LEAVING ME STRANDED. AFTER THE CAR KILLED THE ENGINE I WAS NOT ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR. THE CAR WOULD TURN OVER, BUT NOT HOLD POWER IT WOULD DIE IMMEDIATELY. I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO START THE CAR AFTER WAITING 10 MINUTES. THE CAR WOULD START AND HOLD POWER. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND AIRBAG LIGHT WERE ON. I WAS ONLY ABLE TO DRIVE A MILE BEFORE THE PROBLEM WOULD START ALL OVER AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS AVERAGING ABOUT EVERY 2,000 MILES. IT HAS HAPPENED IN BLIZZARD CONDITIONS, RAIN, AND ON A 50 DEGREE DAY. ALSO WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH AND ON A HIGHWAY GOT 55 MPH. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR INTO FORD AND THEY TOLD ME THERE IS NOTHING WRING WITH THE CAR. WHEN PLUGGING THE CAR INTO THE SYSTEM TO LOOK FOR THE PROBLEM THEY STATED NOTHING SHOWS UP, EVEN WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON.

CAR WAS PARKED, RUNNING, IN A DRIVEWAY WHILE I WAS SITTING IT IN. IT CAME OUT OF PARK AND STARTED ROLLING BACKWARD.

THE DRIVING LIGHTS ILLUMINATE THE ROADS POORLY AND I'VE HAD THEM ADJUSTED TWICE IN ORDER TO IMPROVE NIGHT DRIVING VISIBILITY. ALSO, THE DRIVER'S DOOR DOESN'T LATCH RELIABLY AND I'VE HAD IT ADJUST ED TWICE AND NOW THE DOOR WHISTLES. THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT SIGNALS THE DOOR ISN'T PROPERLY SHUT. THERE IS POOR COORDINATION BETWEEN THE KEYLESS FOB AND THE DOOR UNLOCKING BOTH OF THESE PROBLEMS ARE ONGOING.

PLEASE ALLOW ME TO QUALIFY THIS DOCUMENTATION BY STATING THAT WE HAVE NOT YET BROUGHT THIS AUTO BACK TO THE DEALER AT THIS TIME. WE PURCHASED THE CAR LESS THAN A YEAR AGO. THE CAR HAS FEWER THAN 3,000 MILES. IN THE PAST WEEK WE ARE SEEING THE ADAPTIVE STEERING WARNING LIGHT COME ON AFTER STARTING AND AS SOON AS PUTTING THE CAR INTO GEAR. THIS HAS OCCURRED 4 TIMES IN THE PAST WEEK. WE HAVE NOT NOTICED ANY DIFFERENCE IN STEERING, THE WHEEL TURNING OFF CENTER, NONE OF THE ISSUES REPORTED BY NUMEROUS OTHER PEOPLE ON THE WEB. BUT I CERTAINLY EXPECT THIS TO HAPPEN AT SOME POINT. MY CONCERN IS HOW MANY REPORTS ARE ON THE WEB FROM OWNERS WHO EXPERIENCE THIS FAULT. AND THE MANY VARIATIONS OF HOW DIFFERENT FORD DEALERS CHOOSE TO MANAGE THE PROBLEM. EVERYTHING FROM REPLACING THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE GOOD OLD "WELL, WE CAN'T REPLICATE THE PROBLEM" BRUSH OFF. ONCE AGAIN, I HAVE NOT YET VISITED MY FORD DEALER BUT EXPECT TO VERY QUICKLY. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THEY WILL DO, IF THEY WILL DO ANYTHING, OR HOW LONG IT WILL TAKE. WHAT I DO KNOW IS THE FOLLOWING....... AN ISSUE OF THIS NATURE CONSTITUTES, IN MY MIND, A QUESTIONABLE LEVEL OF SAFETY CONCERN BE IT MILD OR MAJOR. THE OWNER OF THE VEHICLE MUST PAY FOR ADDITIONAL EXPENSES BY MISSING WORK, MAYBE RENTING A CAR, TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM POSSIBLY RESOLVED OR POSSIBLY NOT. AND IN THE INTERIM DRIVE WITH A CONCERN FOR SAFETY. BECAUSE NOT EVERYONE CAN JUST STOP WHAT THEY ARE DOING WHEN THAT LIGHT COMES ON AND DRIVE TO A FORD SERVICE CENTER WHICH, FOR THE MOST PART, IS ONLY OPEN M-F AND USUALLY REQUIRES APPOINTMENTS IN ADVANCE. I AM KEEPING MY FINGERS CROSSED THAT OUR DEALER, WHICH WE BOUGHT TWO NEW 2016 CARS FROM LAST YEAR, WILL BE PRO-ACTIVE IN ADDRESSING THIS PROBLEM ONCE WE CAN BRING THE CAR IN. BUT I BELIEVE THE NHTSA MUST BECOME INVOLVED AND DEMAND THAT FMC DEVELOPS A FIX AND OFFERS A RECALL.

THE AUTOMATIC TAILGATE UNEXPECTED CLOSES ON YOUR HEAD, THERE IS NO SAFETY FEATURE IF YOU ARE UNDERNEATH THE TAILGATE!

I BOUGHT A 2016 EDGE SPORT IN JANUARY AND HAVE HAD TO TAKE TO THE SHOP FOR THE OIL PAN LEAKED 2 TIMES IN A MONTH STEERING WARNING LIGHT CAME ON FOR 1HR HEAD LINER HAD TO BE REPLACED BRAKE LIGHTS FILLED WITH WATER, BUMPER HAD TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE OF A HOLE FROM FACTORY. I ASKED FOR ANOTHER CAR THEY SAID NO I ASKED FOR MY MONEY BACK AND THEY SAID NO SO I HAVE A CAR WITH 11000 MILES THAT'S IN THE SHOP EVERY MONTH AND NOTHING I CAN DO ABOUT IT

VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A COUNTY HIGHWAY APPROXIMATELY AT 45 OR 50 MPH. PAT STEERING AND VEHICLE ALSO MAY HAVE LOST POWER RESULTING IN CROSSING INTO LEFT LANE AND STRIKING A TREE. YES, THERE WAS DEER IN THE AREA AT THE TIME BUT THEY IN NO WAY. CAUSED THE ACCIDENT. APPEARED I HAD NO STEERING OR POSSIBLY BRAKES. STRUCK AN ASH TREE HEAD ON, PASSENGER SIDE TOTAL LOSS OF VEHICLE. SPENT 3 WEEKS IN THE HOSPITAL, FORTUNATE TO STILL BE ALIVE!! REPORTING THIS AS IT IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE

FIRST MALFUNCTION EXPERIENCE (NOVEMBER 2, 2017): I WAS DRIVING ON LOCAL STREETS AT AROUND 40 MPH IN STEADY BUT LIGHT RAIN. WHILE USING THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS IN MANUAL MODE (PUSHING DOWN ON THE MULTI-FUNCTION STALK), THE WIPERS STOPPED WORKING. I TRIED SEVERAL TIMES WITHOUT ANY SUCCESS, SO I TRIED PUSHING THE STALK UP TO USE THE WIPERS ON INTERMITTENT OR FASTER SPEEDS. THAT DID NOT WORK EITHER. I PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AT MY EARLIEST POSSIBILITY, TURNED THE CAR OFF AND TURNED IT BACK ON AND THE WIPERS STARTED WORKING PROPERLY. SECOND MALFUNCTION EXPERIENCE (NOVEMBER 13, 2017): LESS THAN ONE WEEK WE HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS. TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY AT AROUND 60 MPH IN LIGHT RAIN. WE WERE USING THE WIPERS IN MANUAL MODE WHEN THEY STOPPED RESPONDING. THE WIPERS STOPPED RESPONDING TO MANUAL ACTIVATION OR INTERMITTENT OR FASTER SPEED MODES. THE RAIN DID NOT PREVENT US FROM CONTINUING TO DRIVE AND IT WAS ABOUT FOUR MINUTES BEFORE WE TRIED THEM AGAIN IN HIGH SPEED MODE AND THEY RESPONDED. DURING THE TIME WE WERE EXPERIENCING THE PROBLEM WITH THE FRONT WIPERS, THE REAR WIPER FUNCTIONED PROPERLY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL CRACKING NOISE AND THE PANORAMIC MOON ROOF HAD SPIDER CRACKS WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT CALLED FORD OF BRANFORD (301 E MAIN ST, BRANFORD, CT 06405) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THEY DID NOT REPAIR PANORAMIC GLASS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE GLASS WAS REPLACED ON MAY 17, 2017 WITH THE FAILURE MILEAGE AT 2,400. ADDITIONALLY, WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH ON NOVEMBER 18, 2017, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL POPPING NOISE AND THE SUN ROOF CRACKED AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE GLASS WAS ON BACKORDER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE RECENT FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 8,800.

PANORAMIC VISTA ROOF CRACKED WHILE SITTING IN THE GARAGE. NO KNOWN IMPACT TO ROOF.

WHILE AT SLOW SPEED AND TURNING (I.E., IN A PARKING LOT), THE "ADAPTIVE STEERING FAULT/SERVICE REQUIRED" LIGHT WILL OCCASIONALLY COME ON AND THE STEERING WHEEL FEELS AS IF SOMETHING RELEASED OR SWITCHED INSIDE OF IT. THE STEERING WHEEL HAS REALIGNED SLIGHTLY OFF-CENTER SEVERAL TIMES BUT THE SYSTEM RESETS MOST OF THE TIME AFTER TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTING IT SEVERAL MINUTES LATER. TWICE NOW THOUGH, THE STEERING WHEEL STAYED AT NINETY DEGREES WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT. LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP COMPLETED A SOFTWARE/CODE RESET TWICE, SO UNKNOWN IF IT IS AN ELECTRONIC OR MECHANICAL ISSUE. THE DEALERSHIP IS REFUSING TO ACKNOWLEDGE INFORMATION ADVISING STEERING WHEEL REPLACEMENT. THE INITIAL DIAGNOSIS WAS UNDER WARRANTY AT AROUND 26K MILES; SECOND RESET HAD TO BE DONE AT AROUND 46K. THE FAULT SEEMS TO ACTIVATE ONLY IF MOVING AT FIVE MPH OR LESS AND TURNING THE WHEEL IN EITHER DIRECTION.

VEHICLE VACUUM BRAKE BOOSTER HAS A LEAK THAT CAN BE HEARD IN THE CAB OF THE VEHICLE. IT IS NOT CURRENTLY COVERED BY THE WARRANTY HOWEVER A VACCUM TEST REVEALS LESS THAN RECOMMENDED PRESSURE IN THE SYSTEM. BRAKES ARE SPONGY WHEN USED. THE VEHICLE IN QUESTION HAS 6147 MILES. FORD REFUSES TO REPLACE THE VACUUM BOOSTER REGARDLESS OF MULTIPLE TECHNICIANS REPORTING THE ISSUE AND STATES THAT IT APPEARS TO ACT AS DESIGNED DESPITE LOSS OF BRAKING POWER SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCE.

REAR PANORAMIC MOONROOF GLASS PANEL WAS CRACKED AND REPLACED BY A FORD DEALER (ON SEPTEMBER 12, 2017). DEFECTIVE GLASS WAS THE CAUSE AND FORD MOTORS WOULD NOT HONOR THEIR 3-YEAR MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY FOR A REPAIR AT NO COST. FYI, THE INCIDENT OCCURRED PRIOR TO MY JULY VEHICLE PURCHASE FROM A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP.

MY CAR WAS PARKED IN A SHOPPING CENTER. WHEN WE RETURNED TO THE VEHICLE AND STARTED THE CAR AND PUT THE CAR INTO FORWARD GEAR, A WARNING LIGHT "ADAPTIVE STEERING FAILURE" WAS DISPLAYED. IN ORDER TO DRIVE STRAIGHT, I HAD TO TURN THE WHEEL AT A FULL 90 DEGREE ANGLE. I EVEN TRIED SHUTTING OFF THE CAR AND RESTARTING, BUT TO NO AVAIL. AFTER PARKING IT AT HOME, I LET IT SIT FOR ABOUT AN HOUR, RESTARTED THE CAR, AND EVERYTHING WAS SUDDENLY NORMAL AGAIN. DROVE DOWN THE STREET, EVERYTHING SEEMED FINE AT THAT POINT. I HAVE A SHORT VIDEO, BUT I WILL UPLOAD A SCREENCAP THAT SHOWS THE WHEEL ORIENTATION WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT.

STEERING WHEEL RANDOMLY GOES OFF CENTER, SOMETIME MORE SOMETIMES LESS, AS IF THE ADAPTIVE STEERING IS MALFUNCTIONING. THE CAR CONTINUES TO TRACK STRAIGHT AND HAS A PROPER ALIGNMENT. NO ERROR CODES OR WARNINGS ARE SHOWN.

DISPLAYS 'ADAPTIVE STEERING FAULT-SERVICE REQUIRED' ON DASH. HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THE DEALER, TITUS-WILL FORD IN TACOMA, WA THAT THE STEERING WHEEL NEEDS TO BE REPLACED BUT NO PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. THIS FIRST HAPPENED ON 4/12/2017 AND CALLED DEALER, WAS TOLD NO PROBLEM BRING IT IN WHEN CONVENIENT, TOOK IT IN ON JUNE,9, 2017 WHEN I WAS TOLD STEERING WHEEL NEEDS REPLACED BUT NO PARTS AVAILABLE AND HAVE SINCE HAD THE DATE OF AVAILABILITY SLID EVER SINCE.

AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP AT AN INTERSECTION, WITHOUT CONTINUALLY INCREASING THE PRESSURE ON THE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL IT WILL ALLOW THE CAR TO CREEP FORWARD.

TAKATA RECALL- ADAPTIVE STEERING FAULT-MY VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED ON NOVEMBER 16, 2016 AND IN THAT TIME ITS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES FOR AN ADAPTIVE STEERING FAULT WARNING THAT CAME ON SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE, TO WHICH NO ONE COULD FIGURE OUT WHY. BY MY THIRD ATTEMPT TO BRING THIS TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY FINALLY TOLD ME THAT HAD TO REPLACE THE WHOLE STEERING WHEEL. THE DEALERSHIP THEN SHOWED ME A NOTICE THAT WAS SENT OUT BACK BEFORE I BOUGHT MY CAR THAT THIS WAS AN ISSUE REGARDING THE STEERING THIS NOTICE WAS DATED NOVEMBER 3, 2016. I ORIGINALLY BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE FOR ITS SAFETY DUE TO HAVING A 5 YEAR OLD AND CURRENTLY PREGNANT, THEN TO FIND OUT THAT THIS HAD A DEFECT BEFORE PURCHASING THAT I WAS UNAWARE OF AND YET LEAD TO BELIEVE IT WAS STILL SAFE. THEN I RECEIVED A RECALL FOR THE DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAGS NOT FULLY FILLING UP AND THOSE HAD TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE CALLED BACK IN JUNE WHEN I RECEIVED THE LETTER AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THEY ARE STILL WAITING FOR THE PARTS TO COME IN. IT IS NOW SEPTEMBER 26 WITH NO ANSWERS ON WHEN THESE TWO WILL BE FIXED FOR A 4TH TIME. I WAS TOLD THAT WHEN REPLACING THE STEERING WHEEL I MIGHT LOSE OUT ON SOME OF THE TECHNOLOGY THAT I PURCHASED MY CAR WITH AND I EXPECT SOME KIND OF COMPENSATION FOR THIS. THE STEERING DEFECT WARNING WOULD RANDOMLY COME ON, SOMETIMES WHEN I TURNED THE CAR ON, SOMETIMES WHEN I TURNED THE WHEEL, SOMETIMES WOULD TURN OFF AND THEN RANDOMLY COME BACK ON. THE DEALERSHIP DID DO A SOFTWARE UPDATE WHICH CHANGED THE FEEL OF THE STEERING WHEEL COMPLETELY AND THE WARNING CAME BACK ON TWO DAYS LATER. AS YOU CAN SEE THIS BRAND NEW VEHICLE ISN'T EVEN A YEAR OLD AND HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP MORE THAN MY USED CAR. EVERY TIME I HAVE TO LEAVE MY CAR AND THEY REFUSED TO GIVE ME A LOANER CAR MAKING ME MISS WORK EVERY TIME.

2016 FORD EDGE TITANIUM APPROX. MILEAGE 7600 DATE: FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 8, 2017 TIME: APPROXIMATELY 12:45 P.M. LOCATION: SOUTHBOUND ON WAUKEGAN ROAD/US HIGHWAY 41 NEAR INTERSECTION WITH CASIMIR PULASKI DRIVE (LIGHTED INTERSECTION), WAUKEGAN ILLINOIS DRIVING SOUTHBOUND IN LEFT LANE ON HIGHWAY 41 AT ABOUT 40 MPH. RIGHT LANE CLOSED FOR CONSTRUCTION WORK. WEATHER CLEAR AND DRY. ROADWAY FLAT AND STRAIGHT. SUDDEN LACK OF ACCELERATION EVEN WITH INCREASED PRESSURE ON GAS PEDAL. DASH SERVICE LIGHT (ORANGE WARNING) 'HILL ASSIST NOT AVAILABLE' WITH WRENCH. ALSO NOTICED AIRBAG LIGHT WAS LIT. HIT BRAKE PEDAL TO LIGHT UP THE WARNING LIGHTS FOR TRAFFIC BEHIND ME AND ALSO TURNED ON THE HAZARD FLASHERS. CAR ENGINE CONTINUED TO RUN BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT GO ABOVE ABOUT 1 MPH. SINCE RIGHT LANE AND SHOULDER WERE NOT ACCESSIBLE, I TURNED LEFT AT PULASKI DRIVE TO GET ONTO A SLOWER-MOVING, LESS-TRAFFICKED ROADWAY AND PULLED TO THE SHOULDER. CAR WAS BARELY MOVING. TURNED OFF THE IGNITION AND WAITED APPROXIMATELY 20-30 SECONDS. TURNED THE CAR BACK ON AND NO ERROR MESSAGES WERE DISPLAYED. TESTED FORWARD AND REVERSE GEARS WHILE ON THE SHOULDER AND FELT NORMAL ACCELERATION. MADE A U-TURN BACK ONTO PULASKI DRIVE, TURNED LEFT ONTO HIGHWAY 41/WAUKEGAN ROAD AND DROVE HOME. SERVICE ON 9/12/17 ' ONLY ERROR CODE WAS B1111 DESCRIBED BY TECH AS 'ABS PARKING BRAKE', CODE CLEARED BY TECH. SERVICE ON 9/19/17 ' COMPLETE DIAGNOSTICS RUN ' NO ERROR CODES. NO RESOLUTION.

THROTTLE BODY FAILURE - WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, THERE WAS A CLUNK SOUND AND A WRENCH SYMBOL APPEARED ON OUR DISPLAY AND THE CAR LOST ALL POWER. WE COULD NOT ACCELERATE AND HAD TO CAREFULLY COAST TO NEAREST OFFRAMP. WE TRIED TO RESTART CAR AND IT DID TURNOVER BUT THE SAME PROBLEM REPEATED AFTER ABOUT ONE MINUTE. IT APPEARS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH A VARIETY OF FORD MODELS. NO RECALL ON OUR VEHICLE. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS ISSUE.

THE RESISTANCE REQUIRED TO STOP THE DOWNWARD MOVEMENT OF THE POWERED LIFT GATE TO TOO GREAT. IF THE GATE WERE TO CLOSE ON A CHILD OR SMALL ANIMAL IT WOULD CAUSE INJURY. GATE WORKS ACCORDING TO FORD SPECS. HOWEVER A SMALL SOFTWARE CHANGE COULD CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I AM A MALE AND IT TAKES SEVERAL POUNDS OF RESISTANCE FOR ME TO CAUSE THE GATE TO REVERSE. MY WIFE CAN NOT STOP THE DOWNWARD MOVEMENT UNLESS SHE IS STANDING UNDER THE GATE. DEALER STATES THAT SEVERAL OWNERS HAVE REPORTED THE PROBLEM. IF THIS ISSUE IS NOT CORRECT SOMEBODY OR ANIMAL ARE GOING TO BE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED.

ADAPTIVE STEERING FAULT SERVICE REQUIRED LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON AND THEN GOES AWAY WHEN SHUT OFF AND STARTED.

ADAPTIVE STEERING ISSUE. LIGHT HAS INTERMITTENTLY CAME ON AND OFF, BUT YESTERDAY THE WHEEL WAS AT 90 DEGREES TO DRIVE STRAIGHT. SEEMS LIKE SAFETY COULD BE AN ISSUE. ESPECIALLY IF YOU WERE AT A LIGHT AND THE STEERING WHEEL WAS STRAIGHT AND YOU SIDE SWIPED THE CAR IN THE NEXT LANE. THIS MORNING THE LIGHT WAS OFF AND I'M CURRENTLY AT THE DEALER HAVE THEM CHECK AND HOPEFULLY RESOLVE THE ISSUE. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FOR MY FAMILY AND I WANT TO ENSURE SAFETY IS NOT AN ISSUE.

MY 2016 FORD EDGE SPORT WITH 8745 MILES ON IT IS EXPERIENCING ADAPTIVE POWER STEERING ISSUES. AT APPROX. 5000 MILES THE WARNING LIGHT STARTING COMING ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY AND AS OF YESTERDAY THE LIGHT IS NOW STEADY AND THE STEERING WHEEL IS NOW NOT ALIGNED WITH THE DIRECTION THE WHEELS ARE POINTED WHILE DRIVING. THIS FEEL UNSAFE AND I CANT GET FORD TO LOOK AT IT UNTIL AUG 23, 2017

MY VEHICLE WAS ACCELERATING ON A STRAIGHT SECTION OF ROAD DURING RUSH HOUR (HAD AT LEAST A HALF TANK OF GAS). I WAS PUSHING NORMALLY ON THE GAS PEDAL TO KEEP MOVING AND SUDDENLY, WITHOUT WARNING, THE CAR DECELERATED AND LOST POWER AS IF I RAN OUT OF GAS. IT CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. NO LIMP MODE, I HAD TO COAST TO A PLACE TO PULL OVER. POWER WAS ON AND ALL COMPONENTS WERE WORKING EXCEPT THERE WAS NO GAS WHEN I PUSHED THE GAS PEDAL. THE WRENCH ICON LIT UP ON THE DASHBOARD. WHEN I TURNED OFF AND THEN RESTARTED THE ENGINE THE GAS PEDAL WORKED SO I PUT IT IN "DRIVE" AND ACCELERATED CAUTIOUSLY. AFTER FIVE MINUTES, I LOST POWER AGAIN, JUST BEFORE ENTERING A MAJOR HIGHWAY. THE SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER COULD HAVE KILLED ME ON A HIGHWAY, OR IN THE MIDDLE OF ANY BUSY INTERSECTION, NOT TO MENTION HARM OTHER DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS. I TOOK IT TO FORD SERVICE THE NEXT DAY AND THEY SAID I HAD A BAD THROTTLE BODY. IT WAS NOT CONTAMINATED, IT JUST FAILED. THEY STATED THAT THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THEY SAW A FAILED THROTTLE BODY IN A 2016 EDGE. (13,000 MILES). MY HUSBAND SAID IT HAPPENED TO HIM ONCE EARLIER THIS YEAR, AND HE IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT FOR ADVICE. HE WAS INSTRUCTED TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND IT SHOULD BE FINE AFTER STARTING IT BACK UP. IT WORKED. THAT MAY BE A SHORT TERM SOLUTION - TO GET HOME. IT IS NOT A SOLUTION TO THIS LIFE THREATENING PROBLEM.

I ENTERED ON TO I-95 INTERSTATE ON RAMP. I LOOKED BACK OVER MY LEFT SHOULDER TO MERGE SAFELY ALONG WITH ACCELERATING AND THE CAR DECELERATED. MY 18 YEAR OLD SON WAS WITH ME AND HE SAID YOU NEED TO ACCELERATE. I TOLD HIM I COULD NOT ACCELERATE. THE DASHBOARD DISPLAYED A WRENCH ICON ALONG WITH A MESSAGE SAYING SEE OWNERS MANUAL. AFTER BARLEY BEING ABLE TO PULL OVER TO SAFETY I SHUT THE ENGINE OFF WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND RESTARTED IT. WE WERE ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR AND GET HOME. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALER THEY SAID IT'S THE THROTTLE BODY. I HAVE A 2016 FORD EDGE WITH 6,400 MILES.

THE INCIDENT HAS HAPPENED FOUR TIMES, SO FAR, TWICE WITHIN TWO MINUTES. DRIVING DOWN A STRAIGHT, FLAT ROAD AND THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN. ACCELERATOR DOES NOT WORK, AIR BAG SENSORS DEACTIVATE, COMPLETE LOSS OF CONTROL. CARS BEHIND HAD TO SWERVE INTO A DITCH TO AVOID HITTING MY CAR BECAUSE THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUTS OFF WITH NO NOTICE, GOING 50 MPH. NOW HAPPENS EVERY TIME I DRIVE VEHICLE FOR LONGER THAN 20-25 MINUTES. HILL START ASSIST NOT AVAILABLE MESSAGE APPEARS AND CAR SHUTS DOWN WITHOUT WARNING TRAVELING AT HIGH SPEEDS. SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT APPEARS AND SERVICE ENGINE NOTIFICATION. AIRBAG SENSOR OFF LIGHT ILLUMINATES. I'VE FOUND THIS HAS BEEN A KNOWN PROBLEM SINCE 2002 AND THERE HAVE BEEN NO RECALLS. THEY ARE STILL MANUFACTURING MALFUNCTIONING ETB IN VEHICLES AND SOMEONE IS GOING TO DIE. THANKFULLY, I WAS NOT ON THE EXPRESSWAY. I HAVE THIS ISSUE DOCUMENTED ON VIDEO, AS IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I DRIVE MY 2016 FORD EDGE.

LEFT A LOCAL BUSINESS HEADING TO ANOTHER BUSINESS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF A FAIRLY BUSY HIGHWAY, WHEN I PULLED OUT IN THE INTERSECTION, CAR LOST ALL POWER. HILL SIDE ASSIST LIGHT CAME ON, WRENCH, CAR WAS RUNNING, BUT YET SEEMED DISENGAGED AS IF IT WERE IN NEUTRAL OR HAD NO POWER GOING TO TRANSMISSION OR WHEELS. WAS ABLE TO COAST TO SIDE OF THE STREET, WHERE I RESTARTED THE CAR ONCE WITH NO CHANGE, SHUT CAR OFF AGAIN AND LEFT A BIT LONGER BEFORE WE STARTING, CAR CRANKED OVER VERY HARD, DID ALLOW ME TO BE ABLE TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY INTO THE GAS STATION, STILL NOT AT THIS POINT RUNNING LIKE IT SHOULD, CONTACTED LOCAL DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPT, AFTER SITTING APPROX 5 PLUS MINS, CAR STARTED, ALL DASH LIGHTS WENT OUT EXCEPT THE ENGINE LIGHT. TOLD TO BRING CAR IN TO BE CHECKED OUT ASAP. FROM WHAT I'VE READ ON LINE THIS SEEMS TO BE A FAIRLY COMMON PROBLEM,BUT A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHEN THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN AND ALL POWER SEEMS TO BE GONE AND YOU COASTING IN BUSY TRAFFIC AREAS TRYING TO GET OUT OF THE OTHER TRAFFICS WAY AND PREVENT A ACCIDENT. VERY UNHAPPY WITH OUR VEHICLE AT THIS POINT, HAVE LOST A LOT OF FAITH IN WHAT I CAN EXPECT, A PERSON, FAMILY COULD EASILY BE KILLED BY THE CAR PERFORMANCE. ALSO HAD A ISSUE WITH MANY DASH LIGHTS COMING ON AFTER CAR HAD BEEN PARKED AT A BUSINESS AND RESTARTED, THIS HAPPENED ON 3/26/17, APPROX 12000 MILES ON CAR. HILLSIDE START ASSIST LIGHT CAME ON, WRENCH, AIRBAG SYMBOL, STABLITY CONTROL, ABS LIGHTS AND STAYED ON OUR WHOLE TRIP HOME APPROX 14 MILES, WHEN CAR WAS SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED AFTER A BIT, ALL LIGHTS STAYED OFF, GARAGE INFORMED, NOTHING DONE ABOUT THIS ISSUE, ALSO HAVE ISSUES AT OUR LOCAL KWIK TRIP CAR SOMETIMES WON'T START, NOT DETECTING THE KEY, SEEMS THEY PUT OUT TO STRONG OF RADIO SIGNALS, KEY HAS TO BE PLACED BY TRANSMITER TO GET CAR TO START.

ADAPATIVE STEERING FAULT DURING NORMAL DRIVING. UPON TAKING TO DEALER THEY HAVE ADVISED THIS IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE UNTIL STEERING WHEEL REPLACED. WHEEL IS ON BACK ORDER UNTIL 8/31/2017, THIS WILL BE 7 WEEKS AFTER I TURENED CAR INTO DEALER.

ADAPTIVE STEERING WHEEL FAULT WHILE MAKING SHARP U-TURN OR WHEN TURNING WHILE PARKING. THE MESSAGE APPEARS AND ALSO SOME NOISE AND STEERING WHEEL VIBRATION IS FELT. I'VE FOUND AN INTERNET FORUM WHERE MANY PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. HTTP://WWW.FORDEDGEFORUM.COM/TOPIC/21044-ADAPTIVE-STEERING-FAULT MY CONCERN IT'S VERY DANGEROUS FOR THE CAR OWNER AND SURROUNDING

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT NOTICED AN ABNORMAL EXHAUST ODOR ENTERING THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ISSUE WAS MORE PREVALENT WHILE USING THE AIR CONDITIONING UNIT IN THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING AND SOUGHT MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND ADVISED THE CONTACT TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL DEALER. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,066.

ADAPTIVE STEERING FAULT - INTERMITTENT ISSUE THAT CAUSES STEERING TO FEEL VERY TWITCHY AT HIGHWAY SPEED OR LETHARGIC AT SLOW SPEED. THIS HAS NOW HAPPENED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. CEL IS NOT STORED ON THE COMPUTER, DEALER HAS NO WAY OF REPLICATING THE FAULT UNLESS IT HAPPENS AT THE DEALER. FAULT COMES AND GOES AS IT PLEASES. FAULT NORMALLY HAPPENS AFTER CAR IS PARKED AND TURNED ON AND GOES AWAY AT SOME POINT.

APPROXIMATELY 6000 MILES AFTER PURCHASE OF THE NEW VEHICLE IT BEGAN TO EXPERIENCE INTERMITTENT ADAPTIVE STEERING FAULTS. I COULD FIND NO PATTERN TO THE FAULTS APPEARANCE OR DISAPPEARANCE. THE FORD DEALER ATTEMPTED TO FIX THE ISSUE 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS DURING WHICH TIMES THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF SERVICE FOR AROUND 4 WEEKS. THE TOTAL DURATION OF THE PERIOD BETWEEN WHEN THE FAULT WARNING FIRST APPEARED AND THE PROBLEM WAS OSTENSIBLY FIXED IS CLOSER TO 5 -6 WEEKS. I WAS FORCED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE (DUE TO THE NEED FOR PERSONAL AND WORK RELATED TRANSPORTATION) FOR MUCH OF THAT TIME DURING WHICH PERIOD I WAS VERY CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY. THE FAULT HAS NOT RETURNED SINCE THE LAST REPAIR ATTEMPT WHEN THE DEALER REPLACED THE STEERING WHEEL. HOWEVER SINCE THE FAULT WAS INTERMITTENT I CANNOT BE SURE THAT THE ISSUE WILL RESURFACE AT A LATER DATE. WHEN THE STEERING FAULT FIRST APPEARED I DID SOME RESEARCH AND IT APPEARS THAT THE PROBLEM IS FAIRLY FREQUENT FOR LATE MODEL FORDS THAT HAVE THE SO-CALLED ADAPTIVE STEERING FEATURE. BELOW IS A LINK TO AN EXAMPLE THREAD ON A FORD VEHICLE OWNER'S FORUM WHERE MANY SIMILAR EXPERIENCES ARE RELATED: HTTP://WWW.FORDEDGEFORUM.COM/TOPIC/21044-ADAPTIVE-STEERING-FAULT/ I BELIEVE THIS IS A PROBLEM WORTH INVESTIGATING.

STEERING DEFAULT WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND SIDE WARNING ALARMS STOPPED WORKING WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT AT 70 MPH ON AN EXPRESSWAY

CAR STEERING HARD TO KEEP WHEEL STRAIGHT. TROUBLE LIGHT INDICATES ADAPTIVE STERRING FAULT. THIS SHOULD BE UNDER WARRANTEE, AS THIS IS HAPPENING TO MANY PEOPLE.

ADAPTIVE STEERING FAULT INDICATOR LIGHT. STEERING WHEEL DOES NOT TRACK WITH FRONT WHEELS. DEALER UNABLE TO DETERMINE PROBLEM/FIX. 15000 MILES, THIRD TIME LIGHT CAME ON STEERING WHEEL MOVED ABOUT 30 DEGREES TO THE LEFT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V123000 (AIR BAGS) HOWEVER, THE PART FOR THE RECALL REPAIR WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED ANY FAILURE. THE CONTACT SPOKE WITH THE JACKIE JONES FORD DEALER WHERE IT WAS INFORMED THAT THE CONTACT THAT THEY HAD NO PARTS AND THE REPAIR WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO BE COMPLETED FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

APPROX TWO MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE, AND AGAIN APPROX. SIX MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE, THE STEERING WHEEL TURNED TO THE RIGHT APPROX. 15-30 DEGREES AFTER VEHICLE START ... AS VEHICLE SPEED INCREASED AND DECREASED, THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD MOVE RIGHT AND LEFT ... DURING THIS TIME, THE VEHICLE WOULD MAINTAIN A STRAIGHT TRACK ON THE GROUND ... AFTER TAKING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS WHEELS OUT OF ALIGNMENT ... HOWEVER, THE STEERING WHEEL OFFSET OCCURRED ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE WHEELS WERE ALIGNED FOR BOTH INSTANCES ... AM CERTAIN THAT THIS ISSUE IS RELATED TO THE ADAPTIVE STEERING SYSTEM (2016 FORD EDGE SPORT IS THE FIRST VEHICLE TO GET THIS SYSTEM) ALTHOUGH I DID NOT GET AN ADAPTIVE STEERING SYSTEM FAIL LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD DISPLAY ... THE STEERING WHEEL IS CURRENTLY TURNED TO THE RIGHT APPROX. 30 DEGREES ALTHOUGH THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO DRIVE IN A STRAIGHT LINE ... I'LL BE TAKING THIS VEHICLE TO FORD FOR FURTHER INVESTIGATION BUT, TO DATE, THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM.

PARKED CAR AND SHUT DOWN. UPON STARTING CAR AND DRIVING OFF, THE STEERING WHEEL WAS COCKED 45 DEGREES TO THE LEFT. DEALERSHIP REALIGNED BUT LOCK TO LOCK WAS NOT THE SAME. DEALERSHIP CLAIMED IT WAS STEERING RACK BUT UPON INVESTIGATION DETERMINED ADAPTIVE STEERING PROBLEM. CAR NEEDED MORE THE SEVERAL FULL RESETS BEFORE IT WORKED.

ADAPTIVE STEERING FAULT ERROR MESSAGE. LOUD CLICK UPON TURNING STEERING WHEEL, WHEEL IS NOT CENTERED WHEN DRIVING STRAIGHT. DEALERSHIP STATES NEEDS TO SEE ERROR MESSAGE WHEN IT OCCURS BUT WHEN SHUTTING VEHICLE OFF MESSAGE DISAPPEARS AND SOMETIMES TAKE SEVERAL VEHICLE RESTARTS TO GET STEERING WHEEL TO CENTER

ADAPTIVE STEERING FAULT SERVICING REQUIRED MESSAGE. STEERING WILL IS NOT CENTERED WHEN DRIVING. LOUD CLICK NOISE HAPPENED UPON STEERING. DEALER STATES NEED TO SEE ERRROR MESSAGE BUT ONCE YOU TURN CAR OFF THE ERROR MESSAGE DISAPPEARS AND STEERING WHEEL APPEARS TO RECENTER AFTER RESTARTING CAR SOMETIMES SEVERAL TIMES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE STABILITY CONTROL, ABS, AND EMERGENCY BRAKE WARNING INDICATORS SUDDENLY ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE STALLED AND SHUT OFF. ALSO, THE HORN ERRONEOUSLY SOUNDED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MARSHALL MIZE FORD IN HIXSON, TENNESSEE, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6,212.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LIFTGATE INDEPENDENTLY FELL AND PINNED THE CONTACT BETWEEN IT AND THE VEHICLE FOR A FEW MINUTES. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LIFTGATE WAS ABLE TO BE OPENED AFTER AN ADDITIONAL AMOUNT OF EFFORT WAS EXERTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO NATSEY FORD WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS WORKED AS INTENDED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED MODERATE BRUISING ON THE BACK AND NECK DUE TO THE FORCE OF THE LIFTGATE. MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS REQUIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 3,400. UPDATED 07/19/17*LJ *JS

DRIVING DOWN A STRAIGHT ROAD AT 50 MPH ON HIGHWAY 41 AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT / WRENCH ICON CAME ON AT THE SAME TIME I HAD LOST ALL POWER TO ENGINE. HAD TO COAST TO SIDE OF ROAD THE CAR WOULD NOT GO ANY FASTER THAN 5 MPH. AFTER STOPPING I TURNED OFF ENGINE AND RESTARTED IT AND IT WOULD NOT IDLE UNDER 2500 RPMS. STOP ENGINE AGAIN IT SEEMED TO BE OK THEN BUT STILL COULD NOT DRIVE ANY FASTER THAN 5 MPH. I ENDED UP CALLING A TOW TRUCK. I THOUGHT AT THE TIME THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THE THROTTLE BODY OF THE ENGINE. 1 YEAR OLD FORD WITH 6,287 MILES AND HAD JUST BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR AN OIL CHANGE 2 WEEKS EARLIER. NO RECALL ON IT WAS LISTED PER DEALERSHIP. IF I WAS IN VERY HEAVY TRAFFIC OR RAIN IT COULD OF BEEN REALLY BAD REALLY FAST. THE TOW COMPANY TOWED IT TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY DID SAY IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY AND THEY WOULD FIX IT UNDER WARRANTY. I THOUGHT FORD HAD FIXED ALREADY. ANYWAY PICKUP CAR ON WEDNESDAY 5.31. HOPE IT IT FIXED NOW...

ADAPTIVE STEERING WARNING LIGHT APPEARED, GET SERVICE WHILE DRIVING. CALLED MY DEALER AND WAS ON A ROAD TRIP 700 MILES FROM HOME. WENT TO DEALER IN SOUTH BEND, IN AND WAS TOLD THAT WE NEEDED A NEW STEERING WHEEL ASSEMBLY BUT NOT AVAILABLE UNTIL JULY, WAS TOLD CAR WAS DRIVABLE BUT NUMEROUS WARNING FEATURES THAT HAD WORKED PREVIOUSLY WERE NOT WORKING NOW. NEED TO DRIVE HOME NEXT WEEK AND HAVE MY FINGERS CROSSED.

I BOUGHT THAT SUV ON 12/9/16. ON 17/1/17 I DELIVERED (DEALER) IT FOR REPAIR, I MEAN, TO FUNCTION FOR FIRST TIME THE INTERIOR (SOFFIT) LIGHTS. ON 21/2/17 THEY DELIVERED (TO ME) THE UNIT, AFTER INSTALLED A NEW FUSE BOX (SENT FROM THE MANUFACTURER). ON 4/IX/17 (NIGHT) FROM THE LEFT SIDE OF THE SOFFIT BEGAN TO OUTBURST SMOKE/BURNING SMELL. AT THE END, THE LEFT SIDE OF THE SOFFIT AND THE BASE OF THE SUN PROTECTOR (WITH MIRRIOR) WERE BURNED. NEXT DAY, I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, AND THEY HAVE IT YET. I WROTE A LETTER, WITH COPIES TO THE FORD CEO, VP CUSTOMER AFFAIRS, VP QUALITY CONTROL AND DEALER CEO. LATER I FILE A CLAIM AT THE LOCAL CONSUMER AFFAIRS OFF. THE DEALER TECHNICIAN (IN CHARGE OF REPAIR THE UNIT) SAID "THAT'S AN ELECTRICAL FLAW FROM MANUFACT"

VERY SENSITIVE BREAKS ESPECIALLY NOTICEABLE AT SLOW SPEED, STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, DRIVING IN AND OUT OF DRIVEWAY OR PARKING LOT. CAN BE UNPREDICTABLE/UNEXPECTED AT TIMES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V123000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE UPDATED 06/21/17*LJ UPDATED 10/20/2017*JS THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. UPDATED 10/20/2017*JS

ADAPTIVE STEERING FAULT WARNING LIGHT ON DASH. TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY FOUND NOTHING. TOLD US TO COME BACK IF IT OCCURRED AGAIN. HEARD A COUPLE OF CLICKS WHEN DRIVING STRAIGHT ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE WARNING CAME ON. WHEN WE TURNED THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED, THE WARNING WAS GONE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD EDGE. WHILE STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE ADAPTIVE STEERING FAULT SERVICE REQUIRED INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING SYSTEM NEEDED AN UPDATE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE STEERING WHEEL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, BUT THE PART WAS ON BACK ORDER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,000.

I BOUGHT MY EDGE BRAND NEW IN LATE JULY OF 2016 AND HAD NOT EXPERIENCED ANY PROBLEMS UP UNTIL MARCH OF 2017 (ONE MONTH AGO). WHEN THE "ADAPTIVE STEERING FAULT. SERVICE REQUIRED!" LIGHT FIRST STARTED COMING ON, IT WAS GENERALLY JUST SECONDS AFTER STARTING MY CAR, BUT ALWAYS WHILE I WAS TURNING THE WHEEL. FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS, IT WAS COMING ON AN AVERAGE OF 2 TO 3 TIMES PER WEEK AND IT WOULD TURN OFF WITHIN FIVE OR SO MINUTES OF MY DRIVE. MY SERVICE LIGHT HAS COME ON EVERYDAY NOW FOR THE PAST FIVE DAYS WITHOUT EVEN HAVING TO TURN MY WHEEL. ONCE MY CAR IS STARTED - THE MESSAGE POPS UP. AND RATHER THAN TURNING OFF A FEW MINUTES OR MILES INTO MY DRIVE, IT REMAINS ON FOR THE ENTIRETY OF THE DRIVE. I CALLED TODAY IN HOPES OF GETTING IT SERVICED BUT UNFORTUNATELY CANNOT BE FIT IN FOR AN ENTIRE WEEK. I LEFT A VOICEMAIL WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER TO ENSURE THAT MY CAR WAS SAFE TO DRIVE UNTIL THEN BUT HAVE NOT YET RECEIVED A CALL BACK. FINGERS CROSSED!

REAR (FIXED) WINDOW OF THE PANORAMIC MOON ROOF SPONTANEOUSLY CRACKED IN A JAGGED OVAL SHAPE APPROXIMATELY 1 FOOT IN LENGTH WITHOUT ANY IMPACT OR OTHER VEHICLES NEARBY WHILE DRIVING AT ABOUT 40 MPH. I HAVE READ A FEW OTHER COMPLAINTS WHERE THE GLASS CRACKED AND SHATTERED INTO THE VEHICLE COMPARTMENT UNDER THE SAME OR SIMILAR CIRCUMSTANCES.

I'M EXPERIENCING WHAT MANY, MANY OTHER FORD SUPER DUTY TRUCK OWNERS HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING SINCE ABOUT 2005 COMMONLY KNOWN AS THE "DEATH WOBBLE". AT SPEEDS ABOVE 45 MILES PER HOUR, WHEN THE TRUCK GOES ACROSS A ROUGH (WASHBOARD) BIT OF ROAD OR A BRIDGE JOINT, THE FRONT END SOMETIMES SHAKES VIOLENTLY WHICH ALSO CAUSES THE STEERING WHEEL TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY UNTIL YOU CAN BRING THE VEHICLE TO A STOP, WHICH IS NOT EASY. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, WHICH COULD CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL RESULTING IN INJURY TO PASSENGERS AS WELL AS OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. IN THE RESEARCH I HAVE DONE, IT APPEARS THAT FORD HAS DONE VERY LITTLE TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM FOR CONSUMERS. I HAVE MENTIONED THE PROBLEM TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE TRUCK NEW TWICE NOW AND THEY SAY THEY CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG AND CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM IN A TEST DRIVE. I HAVE ONLY 26,000 MILES ON THE TRUCK AND THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE. HAVE HAD IT ALIGNED TWICE AND TIRES ROTATED REGULARLY. NO UNUSUAL WEAR. MY WIFE REFUSES TO DRIVE THE TRUCK AND I'M NOT TOO EXCITED ABOUT IT MYSELF. WILL IT TAKE INJURIES AND DEATHS TO FORCE FORD INTO ADMITTING THERE IS A PROBLEM AND FIX IT?

ON 4/4/17 MY WIFE WAS DRIVING OUR 2016 FORD EDGE (TITANIUM EDITION) AND WAS TALKING TO ME ON THE PHONE WHEN THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SHOOK, LOST POWER, AND LOST ACCELERATION ABILITY. THE YELLOW WRENCH, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND AIR BAG LIGHT APPEARED AND THE POWER TRAIN FAULT AND HILL CLIMB ASSIST NOT AVAILABLE MESSAGES APPEARED ON THE DISPLAY. MY WIFE WAS ON THE HIGHWAY GOING ABOUT 70MPH WHEN THIS OCCURRED. SHE HAD TO TRY TO COAST OVER TO THE SHOULDER TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD.

ADAPTIVE STEERING FAULT SERVICE REQUIRED DASHBOARD MESSAGE APPEARED WHEN BACKING UP. STEERING IS OFF 90 DEGREES

STARTED WITH INTERMITTENT "ADAPTIVE STEERING FAULT. SERVICE REQUIRED" WARNING WHICH NOW IS CONSTANT. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER (CAPITOL FORD IN SAN JOSE CA) AND THEY TOLD ME THEY HAD NO TIME TO LOOK AT THE PROBLEM NOW AND TO MAKE A SERVICE APPOINTMENT. I CALLED TO MAKE A SERVICE APPOINTMENT ON MARCH 28 2017. THE EARLIEST THEY COULD SEE THE CAR IS MAY 8 2017. SEE THE FORD EDGE FORUM HTTP://WWW.FORDEDGEFORUM.COM/TOPIC/21044-ADAPTIVE-STEERING-FAULT/ FOR DETAILS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. DOES CALIFORNIA HAVE A LEMON LAW TO PROTECT CUSTOMERS THAT BUY FAULTY NEW AUTOMOBILES? I CAN'T BELIEVE I HAVE TO LEAVE THE CAR SET FOR OVER A MONTH TO HAVE FORD SERVICE LOOK AT THE PROBLEM.

PURCHASED VEHICLE IN NOV OF 2016. IN FEB OF 2017 I RECEIVED A MESSAGE ON DASHBOARD THAT MY OIL PRESSURE WAS LOW. AFTER CHECKING OIL WE DISCOVERED IT WAS 3 QUARTS LOW. THOUGH MAYBE IT WAS NOT FILLED ALL THE WAY BY THE DEALER. ON MARCH 27TH WE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE AGAIN THE OIL WAS 3 QTS LOW. ON MARCH 28TH THE DEALER CALLED TO SAY THAT THEY HAD A MEMO FROM FORD STATING SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THE ENGINE AND THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE ENGINE! (NOW THAT'S SCARRY) ALSO RECEIVED IN THE MAIL THAT THERE IS A COMPLIANCE RECALL CALL 17C02 FOR AIRBAGS. IN SPECIFIC THE DRIVERS AIRBAG. PARTS FOR THIS RECALL WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL LATE SECOND QUARTER 2017. I FEEL THIS VEHICLE IS A DISASTER, NOT SAFE, AFRAID TO DRIVE AND THAT FORD SHOULD JUST GIVE ME A NEW ONE!! VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH FORD. WE ARE FORD CAR BUYERS AND HAVE BEEN FOR AT LEAST 20 YRS.

THE ADAPTIVE STEERING WARNING LIGHT HAS CAME ON TWO TIMES IN TWO WEEKS. I HAVE LESS THEN 2500 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. THIS CAME ON BOTH TIMES AS I WAS MAKING A TURN.

ISSUE: LATCH ON DRIVER'S DOOR BROKE. THE EVENTS DESCRIBED BELOW TOOK PLACE OVER A 3-DAY TIME FRAME (03/18/2017 - 03/20/2017). ON SAT., 03/18/2017, I DROVE THE VEHICLE TO A SHOPPING DESTINATION AND THE DRIVER'S DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN. I HAD TO CLIMB OVER FRONT CONSOLE TO EXIT THE CAR VIA THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR. TO DRIVE BACK HOME, I HAD TO ENTER THE VEHICLE VIA THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR AND AGAIN CLIMB OVER THE FRONT CONSOLE. AFTER SEVERAL HOURS, THE DOOR WAS OPENED AND ALL WAS PRESUMED TO BE OK. HOWEVER, THE NEXT DAY (SUN., 03/19/2017), THE DRIVER'S DOOR FLEW OPEN WHILE THE CAR WAS EXITING THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 45 MPH. I PULLED OVER AND STRAINED TO PULL THE DOOR IN. HOWEVER, THE LATCH WOULD NOT CATCH AND CLOSE. WHILE MANEUVERING THE VEHICLE, THE DRIVER DROVE HOME VERY SLOWLY PULLING IN AND HOLDING THE CAR DOOR. THE VEHICLE SAT UNSECURED OVERNIGHT UNTIL IT COULD BE TAKEN TO FOR REPAIR. THIS PROBLEM PRESENTED A HIGH LEVEL OF DANGER FOR ME, OTHER VEHICLES/DRIVERS/PASSENGERS, AND POSSIBLY PEDESTRIANS/PROPERTIES. THE AFFECTED VEHICLE HAS A LITTLE OVER 3,500 MILES LOGGED AND IS UNDER YEAR ONE OF A THREE YEAR LEASE. AS THIS REPORT IS BEING TYPED (MON., 03/20/2017), THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT THE LOCAL FORD DEALER IS ASSESSING THE PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE CO-OWNER HAS ALREADY BEEN INFORMED THAT PARTS AND LABOR COSTS TO FIX THE ISSUE ARE NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY; WILL COST HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TO REPAIR; TAKE A WEEK TO COMPLETE; AND, A LOANER CAR IS NOT AVAILABLE. AFTER BEING LOYAL FORD CUSTOMERS FOR OVER 30 YEARS (PURCHASE/LEASE), THIS STINGS THE OWNER(S) ON MANY LEVELS.

WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOP RANDOMLY WHILE BEING USED OR WHEN TURNING THEM ON. MOVING THE LEVER UP AND DOWN ON THE STEERING WHEEL SOMETIMES GETS THEM WORKING AGAIN. OTHER TIMES THE CAR HAS TO BE TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED.

MY FORD EDGE HAD A SUDDEN DECELERATION AND A DANGEROUS LOSS OF POWER IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY CITY INTERSECTION CAUSING ONCOMING TRAFFIC TO COME TO A HALT. THE SUV IS NOW CAUSING A TRAFFIC JAM WITH MY FAMILY LOOKING AT ON COMING TRAFFIC. THANK GOODNESS WE DID NOT HAVE AN ACCIDENT. RIGHT AFTER THAT EPISODE, THE TRANSMISSION JERKED SO HARD WE BOUNCED FORWARD AND BACKWARDS IN OUR SEATS. AGAIN, THE CAR HAD A LOSS OF POWER. SINCE THAT TIME, MY FORD EDGE EXPERIENCED TWO OTHER EPISODES. FORD MARKETED AND SOLD THIS VEHICLE AS NEW WITH A DEFECTIVE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY CONTROL. HOW DO I KNOW THAT? WHEN I TOOK THE CAR TO BOB TOMES FORD DEALERSHIP, I WAS TOLD THE THROTTLE BODY CONTROL HAD BEEN REPLACED AT 1000 MILES. THEY SOLD THE CAR AS A NEW VEHICLE OFF THE LOT WITHOUT REVEALING IT HAD BEEN DRIVEN AS A DEMO VEHICLE. WE BOUGHT THE CAR WITH 1800 MILES THINKING IT HAD BEEN ON THE LOT FOR LONG PERIOD OF TIME AND DRIVEN FROM ANOTHER DEALERSHIP. FORD OWES THE CONSUMER AN ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN ABOUT HE DANGERS OF SUDDEN UNINTENDED DECELERATION AND EDUCATE CONSUMERS ABOUT THEIR PRE-PURCHASE LEGAL RIGHTS ONCE FACTS ARE KNOWN. THOUSANDS OF OWNERS ARE IN DANGER BECAUSE FORD REFUSES TO ACT MORALLY AND CHOOSING PROFIT BEFORE RESPONSIBILITY.

ADAPTIVE STEERING FAULT! WARNING LIGHT IS INTERMITTENT BUT COMES ON WHILE DRIVING. FIRST OCCURRENCE WAS BEFORE OCTOBER 16, 2016. MILEAGE WAS LESS THAN 3000 MILES ON ODOMETER. NOW AT 7000+ MILES BUT LIGHT COMES ON RANDOMLY WITH WARNING TO SEE DEALER IMMEDIATELY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD EDGE. AFTER RESTARTING THE VEHICLE, THE POWER STEERING MALFUNCTIONED AND CAUSED THE STEERING WHEEL TO BECOME VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. WHILE AT THE DEALER, THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND THE STEERING OPERATED AS NORMAL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 11,000.

MY FORD EDGE WAS PURCHASED NEW IN AUGUST 2016. I AM STARTING TO RECEIVE THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE ON THE DASHBOARD INTERMITTENTLY, "ADAPTIVE STEERING FAULT SERVICE REQUIRED" (SOLID YELLOW WARNING). WARNING APPEARS AT VARIOUS TIMES, WHEN I FIRST START UP, WHILE I AM DRIVING AND ALSO JUST BEFORE I SHUT DOWN.

I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING LOT AND THE ENGINE STALLED. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE ENGINE

ADAPTIVE STEERING SYSTEM FAILURE, WHILE CAR MOVING ON HIGHWAY. CURRENTLY INOPERABLE WHILE FORD HAS PARTS SHIPPED FROM GERMANY. REPEAT PROBLEM-RETURN TO DEALER THREE TIMES. FORD DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX AS OF THIS DATE.

WHILE BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVE THIS MORNING, ADAPTIVE STEERING WARNING LIGHT CAME ON . THIS IS A 2016 EDGE SPORT WITH 6600 MILES ON IT, PURCHASED IN JULY 2016.

UNDER HARD ACCELERATION THERE IS STRONG SMELL IN THE CABIN THAT SMELLS LIKE SULFUR IT HAS GOTTEN SO BAD THAT I HAVE TO DRIVE WITH MY WINDOWS OPEN AND I CARRY A CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTOR BECAUSE I'M WORRIED ABOUT THE FUMES BEING TOXIC. I DO A LOT OF HIGHWAY DRIVING SO MOST OF THE TIMES IT OCCURS ON THE HIGHWAY IT ALSO HAPPEN IN CITY DRIVING FROM FULL STOP.

STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT IN 2016 FORD EDGE. WHEN LIGHT TURNED GREEN, ATTEMPTED TO MAKE LEFT TURN. VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE THROUGH THE INTERSECTION AND APPEARED TO STALL. TURNED VEHICLE OFF, RESTARTED AND AGAIN VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. WITH VEHICLE BARELY MOVING, WAS ABLE TO GET OUT OF WAY OF THREE LANES OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC BUT NOW STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. WHEN TRAFFIC CLEARED, WAS ABLE TO MAKE LEFT TURN AND CRAWLED AT ABOUT 2-3MPH WITH HAZARD LIGHTS ON. AT THIS TIME, WRENCH YELLOW WARNING LIGHT WAS DISPLAYED. DROVE AT THAT EXTREMELY SLOW SPEED UNTIL REACHED THE LEFT TURN LANE AT THE NEXT INTERSECTION WHERE COULD SAFELY PULL OVER AND PARK. TRIED SEVERAL TIMES TO RESTART BUT CONTINUED TO RECEIVE WRENCH WARNING LIGHT. THAT WAS THEN REPLACED WITH A CHECK ENGINE YELLOW WARNING LIGHT. VEHICLE WOULD STILL NOT ACCELERATE. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO DEALER. AN EEC TEST WAS RUN AND HAD CODE P2111. THE THROTTLE BODY WAS REPLACED WITH PART AT4Z-9E926-B. THIS WAS UNDER WARRANTY SINCE JUST 17,276 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. IT IS UNNERVING WHEN GAS PEDAL COULD BE PUSHED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND STILL BARELY MOVE. THIS INCIDENT WAS VERY SCARY AND FORTUNATE VEHICLE WAS NOT HIT AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES.

CAR HAS DIED MULTIPLE TIMES AT HIGH RATE OF SPEED. DEALER SAYS NO CODES THROWN. USED 3 QUARTS OIL BEFORE 5000 MILES. EXHAUST SMOKED HORRIBLY. DECELERATION ISSUES CONSTANTLY. LAST TIME IT DIED ON FREEWAY DEALER SAID THROWING CODES AND ENGINE NEEDS REPLACING. THEY HAVE HAD VEHICLE SINCE DECEMBER 14 2016. THEY TRIED TO REPLACE HEADS AND IT BLEW UP ENGINE. CAR HAS LESS THAN 9000 MILES. VEHICLE DIED MULTIPLE TIMES ON FREEWAY. DECELERATION ISSUES OCCURRED BOTH FROM FULL STOP AND ACCELERATION ON FREEWAY ENTRANCE RAMP. VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN SHOP 3-4 TIMES SINCE PURCHASED IN LATE AUGUST 2016.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ADAPTIVE STEERING FAULT ERROR OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING. THE CONTACT HAD TO MANUALLY STEER THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,984.

'ADAPTIVE STEERING FAULT SERVICE REQUIRED' WARNING LIGHT USED TO COME ON AT RANDOM, NOW IT'S THERE PERMANENTLY. I TOOK SOME PHOTOS OF THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER TO ILLUSTRATE - WILL ATTACH A FILE. HAPPENED FOR THE FIRST TIME 12/15/2016. STAYS ON PERMANENTLY SINCE 1/16/2017.

MY FORD EDGE WAS PURCHASED NEW IN JULY 2016 (BUILD DATE OF 5/16). IN STARTING UP THE VEHICLE ON JAN. 15 2017 WITH 6,302 MILES ON THE ODOMETER, THE "ADAPTIVE STEERING FAULT SERVICE REQUIRED" LIGHT CAME ON (SOLID YELLOW WARNING). THIS STAYED ON FOR ABOUT 15 MILES OF A 22 MILE TRIP, THEN WENT OUT. I PARKED THE CAR AT A VALET SERVICE. WHEN THE CAR WAS RETURNED TO ME LATER, I NOTICED THE "ADAPTIVE STEERING FAULT SERVICE REQUIRED" LIGHT WAS ON AGAIN, AND THE STEERING WHEEL WAS NOW TURNED 90 DEGREES TO THE RIGHT IN ORDER TO DRIVE STRAIGHT AHEAD (BLOCKING MY VIEW OF THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER). THIS SITUATION CONTINUED FOR THE ENTIRE 22 MILE TRIP BACK HOME. DURING THIS TIME, THE STEERING FELT NORMAL OTHER THAN FOR THE POSITION OF THE STEERING WHEEL (WHICH WAS AWKWARD TO SAY THE LEAST). THE WARNING LIGHT WENT OUT THE NEXT MORNING AND THE STEERING WHEEL RETURNED TO IT'S PROPERLY ALIGNED POSITION! THE WARNING LIGHT CAME BACK ON THE NEXT MORNING, BUT SO FAR THE STEERING WHEEL HAS NOT CHANGED FROM IT'S PROPER POSITION.

DIFFICULTY STEERING VEHICLE WHEN CAR IS MOVING ON CITY STREET. HAVE TO FIGHT WITH THE STEERING TO KEEP CAR ON THE ROAD. *TR

VEHICLE HAS 4,800 MILES. WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE LOST ENGINE POWER AND POWER STEERING. ORANGE WRENCH ICON APPEARS ON DASH - CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALSO COME ON. THE VEHICLE WILL THEN ONLY TRAVEL <5 MPH. SHUTTING CAR OFF AND RESTARTING A FEW TIMES AND VEHICLE IS FINE. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT GOES OFF AFTER ABOUT 15 MILES OF DRIVING. PROBLEM OCCURRED 3 TIMES. COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS IF IT OCCURRED ON A LEFT TURN. DEALER REPLACED THROTTLE BODY IN RESPONSE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING HOME CHRISTMAS NIGHT AFTER SPENDING THE WEEKEND WITH FAMILY, IT WAS RAINING HARD AND WINDY (20-30MPH GUSTS). WHILE DRIVING WITH MY WIPERS ON AT 70MPH ON INTERSTATE 35 SOUTH JUST NORTH OF ALBERT LEA MINNESOTA MY WIPER BLADES STARTED TO GET CAUGHT IN THE WIND, I HEARD A SLAPPING NOISE A FEW TIMES AND THEN ALL THE SUDDEN AS THE WIPERS WENT TO WIPE THE PASSENGER SIDE BLADE WAS LIFTED BY THE WIND AND WAS DROPPED ON TOP OF THE OTHER BLADE. THE LATCH THAT HOLDS THE BLADE ON TO THE DRIVER SIDE WIPER WAS BLOCKING THE PASSENGER SIDE BLADE AND CAUSED THE WIPERS TO BECOME NON FUNCTIONAL. AT THIS POINT I WAS GETTING VERY NERVOUS BECAUSE VISIBILITY RAPIDLY DIMINISHED BECAUSE I COULD NO LONGER USE MY WIPERS. I TRIED TURNING THEM ON TO HIGH AND LOW AND THEY WOULD NOT WORK. THE WIPERS DID TRY TO "FIX" THEM SELVES BY PULSING A FEW TIMES BUT ONLY IN THE DOWN DIRECTION, HAD THEY TRIED TO GO IN THE UPRIGHT DIRECTION I THINK THEY COULD HAVE FIXED THEM SELVES. AT THIS POINT I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO PULL OVER IN THE COLD AND RAIN TO MANUALLY MOVE THE WIPER ARMS INTO A POSITION WERE THEY COULD WORK NORMALLY, MIND YOU I WAS GOING 70MPH AND WAS NOT ABLE TO SEE VERY WELL TO EVEN PULL OVER. ON AN UNRELATED NOTE, THE HEADLIGHTS IN THIS VEHICLE ESPECIALLY WHEN THE ROADS ARE WET ARE THE ABSOLUTE WORSE HEADLIGHTS I HAVE EVER USED. NOT ACCEPTABLE FOR A BRAND NEW CAR. *TR

ADAPTIVE STEERING - SERVICE REQUIRED - LIGHT CAME ON - FORD DEALER APPLIED A SOFTWARE UPDATE WHICH FAILED. NOW ARE REPLACING STEERING WHEEL. DEEMED UNSAFE TO DRIVE. OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE AND MULTIPLE STEERING WHEEL REPLACEMENTS.

WHILE DRIVING ON RTE. 95 AT A HIGH SPEED, THE VEHICLE WITHOUT WARNING JUST STOPPED. THE NEXT DAY WHILE DRIVING ON A STREET ABOUT 40 MILES PER HOUR, THE ENGINE STOPPED WITHOUT WARNING. *TR

ADAPTIVE STEERING FAULT, STEERING WOULD NOT REGISTER INPUT WHEN FAULT OCCUR. ON START UP THE CAR WOULD REGISTER THE ERROR AND MAKE STEERING DIFFICULT WITH STEERING INPUT NOT REGISTER TO THE TURNING OF THE WHEELS. THE STEERING COLUMN ALSO MAKES A GRINDING NOISE. DEALER JUST CLEARED THE ERROR AND DID NOT FIX ANYTHING, WITH THE ERROR RETURNING THE NEXT DAY.

WHILE DRIVING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED (70MPH) ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY, MY CAR LOST POWER. I TRIED PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL, BUT THERE WAS NO RESPONSE. IT WAS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION, SINCE THE CARE LOST SPEED QUICKLY, AND I WAS DRIVING IN THE FAR LEFT LANE AND HAD TO NAVIGATE TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. IT WAS ALSO VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE THE CAR BROKE DOWN IN DETROIT. I WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE SHOULDER, AND RESTART THE VEHICLE TO TRY TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY. WHILE TRYING TO GET TO A BETTER LOCATION, THE CAR LOST POWER TWO MORE TIMES, WHILE IN STREET TRAFFIC. AGAIN, VERY DANGEROUS. SINCE THIS IS A BRAND NEW FORD EDGE (2016), WITH UNDER 10,000 MILES, IT WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHO FOUND A DEFECTIVE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY. THEY REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY, AND BECAUSE THERE IS STILL NO RECALL ON THAT PART, IT COULD VERY WELL HAVE BEEN REPLACED WITH ANOTHER DEFECTIVE PART, LEAVING ME AT RISK AGAIN FOR INJURY, OR WORSE. WHILE INVESTIGATING THE ISSUE, I FOUND THAT SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE, DATING BACK TO OVER A YEAR AGO. HERE ARE LINKS TO OTHER THROTTLE BODY COMPLAINTS: HTTP://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/FORD/EXPLORER/2016/ENGINE/LOSS_OF_POWER_WHILE_DRIVING.SHTML HTTP://WWW.ABOUTAUTOMOBILE.COM/COMPLAINT/2015/FORD/EDGE/ENGINE

WE PURCHASED A NEW FORD EDGE 2016 SPORT ON SEPTEMBER 18, 2016. ON OCTOBER 25, 2016 WE RECEIVED A MESSAGE INDICATING 'ADAPTIVE STEERING FAULT SERVICE REQUIRED.' LATER THAT SAME DAY, THE MESSAGE DID NOT APPEAR ON THE DRIVER DISPLAY. HOWEVER, ON OCTOBER 26, 2016, WE RECEIVED THE SAME MESSAGE: 'ADAPTIVE STEERING FAULT SERVICE REQUIRED.' WE WENT TO A LOCAL FORD SERVICE DEPARTMENT (IN CONCORD, CA) AND THEY PERFORMED ELECTRICAL TESTING FOR STEERING WARNING MESSAGES. THEIR TEST APPEARED TO BE INCONCLUSIVE AND THEY CLEARED ALL CODES AND ROAD TESTED THE VEHICLE AND IT APPEARED TO PASS INSPECTION. HOWEVER, JUST TODAY, NOVEMBER 1, 2016, WE RECEIVED THE SAME MESSAGE AGAIN: 'ADAPTIVE STEERING FAULT SERVICE REQUIRED.' WE IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL FORD SERVICE DEPARTMENT SO THEY COULD SEE THE ERROR MESSAGE AND THEY DID NOT HAVE ANSWERS, EVEN AFTER PULLING THE CODES. THEY WILL BE COMMUNICATING WITH THE "FORD" HOTLINE AND IN CONTACT WITH "THOSE WHO MANUFACTURED THE VEHICLE." FROM WHAT WE UNDERSTAND, AFTER RESEARCHING THE ISSUE ONLINE, THAT THIS MAY BE A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND WE ARE EXTREMELY CONCERNED AS STEERING ABILITY MAY CEASE AND THE CAR MAY STOP FUNCTIONING. OTHER FORD EDGE DRIVERS ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE. THIS IS OF GRAVE CONCERN AS IT IS OUR PRIMARY CAR THAT WE USE TO TRANSPORT OUR CHILDREN IN DAILY. OUR ONLINE RESEARCH LEADS US TO BELIEVE THIS IS NOT AN EASY OR WELL KNOWN FIX AS THE ADAPTIVE STEERING IN THE 2016 FORD EDGE IS NEW TECHNOLOGY. WE INTENTIONALLY PURCHASED A NEW CAR TO AVOID ANY MAJOR ISSUES FOR SOME TIME, SO WE ARE EXTREMELY FRUSTRATED AND DISAPPOINTED WITH OUR FORD PURCHASE. THE MOST IMPORTANT CONCERN IS THE SAFETY OF OUR FAMILY WHILE RIDING IN THIS VEHICLE. *TR

AT ABOUT 4500 MILES, AN "ADAPTIVE STEERING FAULT - NEEDS SERVICE" LIGHT CAME ON. IT WENT OFF. THEN, A DAY OR TWO LATER IT CAME ON AGAIN. I TOOK THE EDGE INTO NORM REEVES FORD IN CERRITOS, CA TO HAVE THEM "SERVICE" THE ADAPTIVE STEERING. THEY TOLD ME THEY COULD FIND NO PROBLEM. A WEEK OR SO LATER, I TOOK IT BACK TO NORM REEVES FORD AND THEY KEPT THE VEHICLE FOR 13 DAYS TOLD ME THEY COULDN'T "REPLICATE" THE PROBLEM. NOW, A MONTH LATER, THE LIGHT STAYS ON. I HAVE READ ON THE "FORD EDGE FORUM" BLOG THAT OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. SOME ARE SAYING THAT THEIR VEHICLES HAVE BEEN IN THE SHOP OVER A MONTH AND FORD SEEMS UNABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. OTHERS MENTIONED THAT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TOLD THEM THAT THE PROBLEM COULD BE DANGEROUS. I HAVE CONTACTED FORD'S REGIONAL CUSTOMER SERVICE MANAGER FOR THE CALIFORNIA AREA. SO FAR, FORD SEEMS TO BE IGNORING THE PROBLEM. *TR

ADAPTIVE STEERING FAULT SERVICE REQUIRED ERROR. I TURNED IT ON FROM THE PARKING LOT AT WORK AND THE ERROR CAME UP AND THE STEERING WHEEL WAS NOT ALIGNED WITH THE TIRES, WHEN DRIVING STRAIGHT THE STEERING WHEEL WAS 1/4 TURNED TO THE LEFT

MY WIFE WAS ON HER WAY TO A BUSINESS MEETING. VEHICLE WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. STARTED TO TURN RIGHT, HIT ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND VEHICLE BARELY MOVED. LOST POWER, COULD ONLY GO 5 MPH. WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON, AS DID AWD. CREATED TRAFFIC HAZZARD AS VEHICLES BACKED UP BEHIND ON CITY STREET. CREEPED TO A PARKING AREA AND HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO DEALER FOR EVALUATION AND REPAIR. CAUSE WAS POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM) WHICH WAS NOT REPLACED (FOLLOWING CURRENT FORD POLICY), BUT REPROGRAMMED, MEANING THIS COULD HAPPEN AGAIN IN AN EVEN MORE DANGEROUS SETTING, SUCH AS PROCEEDING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION OR ON A HIGHWAY.

I WAS PARKING ON A SIDE STREET WITH ABOUT 2200 MILES ON THE CAR. THE DASHBOARD LIT UP WITH ADAPTIVE STEERING ISSUE WARNING LIGHT TELLING ME TO TAKE IT IN FOR SERVICE. I THOUGHT THE CAR HAD DIED, BUT AFTER A RESTART, IT SEEMED TO DRIVE OK AND I PUT IT UP TO A ONE TIME COMPUTER GLITCH. I WAS 70 MILES FROM HOME. I ALMOST FORGOT IT HAPPENED BUT AFTER RETURNING FROM A LONG TRIP, IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I WENT TO THE FORUM AND SAW OTHERS HAD THE SAME ISSUE. AND THEY MENTIONED THAT IT SOMETIMES EFFECTED THE STEERING ITSELF. SURE ENOUGH, THE NEXT DAY, THE WHEEL TURNED 90 DEGREES TO LEFT. I WAS STOPPED AT THE TIME. THE CAR WAS DRIVEABLE BUT WENT STRAIGHT WITH THE WHEEL TURNED 90 DEGREES TO THE LEFT. VERY DISCONCERTING, TO SAY THE LEAST. THE WARNING LIGHT WAS BACK ON, OF COURSE. I HAD TO GET INTO TWON SO PROCEEDED CAREFULLY. I FILLED THE TANK, AND AFTER THE RESTART, THE WHEEL STRAIGHTENED OUT AND WARNING LIGHT WENT OFF. THE WHEEL TURNING HAS NOT HAPPENED SINCE, BUT THE WARNING LIGHT COMES ON AT LEAST TWICE PER DAY RANDOMLY. I AM REPORTING THIS AS A SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE ADAPTIVE STEERING. I AM SCARED TO DRIVE MY NEW CAR.

ADAPTIVE STEERING FAULT - SERVICE REQUIRED! WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, STEERING WHEEL CHANGED RATIO, BECAME EXTREMELY LIGHT AND DISCONNECTED FROM WHEELS. STEERING WHEEL ALSO CHANGED TO A 45 DEGREE RIGHT ANGLE WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT DOWN THE ROAD. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE! ESCALATED TO FORD, STATING I LOST CONFIDENCE IN DRIVING THIS CAR. DIDN'T WANT TO BE A STATISTIC WITH MY KIDS WHEN THIS HAPPENS AGAIN WHEN GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 70MPH! EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS THANKFULLY MY KIDS WERE NOT IN THE CAR WHEN THIS HAPPENED.

BOTH BACK LIGHTS AND BACK MID LIGHT COMPARTMENTS ARE NOT SEALED . THE WATER RETAINS IN THERE THAT CREATES ELECTRICAL SHORTCUT ,. THE SALES MAN SAID HE SAW ALREADY SEVERAL CARS WITH THE PROBLEM,. MY CAR HAD AT LEAST 1 OR 1 1/2 INCH HIGH WATER WAS IN THERE- ALL 3 BACK LIGHTS . DANGER FOR CAR FIRE AND POSSIBLE EXPLOSION FROM ELECTRICAL SHORT CUT FROM WATER IN THE BACK LIGHT.

DRIVERS SIDE DOOR LATCH DEFECTIVE INDICATING "DOOR AJAR' AND WARNING CHIME SOUNDING. BUT DOOR NOT OPEN. DEALER REPLACED DOOR LATCH AT COST OF $403.00 BUT FORD NOT ACCEPTING RESPONSIBILITY. REQUEST REIMBURSEMENT. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED UNINTENDED ACCELERATION AT LOWER SPEEDS. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 172. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED.

VEHICLE TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE AT 70 MPH. SUDDENLY VEHICLE LOST POWER WHICH RESULTED IN LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND ACCELERATION, BUT INSTRUMENT PANEL STILL HAD FUNCTIONALITY. HAD TO COAST TO SIDE OF INTERSTATE WITH NO THROTTLE AND CAME TO A STOP. VEHICLE STILL WAS ON BUT NO ACCELERATION. TURNED OFF VEHICLE AND RESTARTED, THROTTLE WORKED. TOOK VEHICLE DIRECTLY TO DEALERSHIP WERE THROTTLE BODY WAS REPLACED. SERVICE STATES THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN COMMON. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. LUCKILY NO ACCIDENT OCCURRED BECAUSE OF LOSS OF POWER ON INTERSTATE.

STEPPED ON GAS AT INTERSECTION AND VEHICLE POWER SYSTEM STOPPED. THROTTLE AND POWER STEERING WENT OUT. DRIFTED TO SIDE OF ROAD. FORD REPAIRED AND SAID IT WAS THE ELECTRICAL THROTTLE

VEHICLE MILEAGE - APPROXIMATELY 5300 FUEL LEVEL APPROX. 3/4 FULL FUEL LINE CONNECTION SEPARATION, CAUSING FUEL STARVATION TO ENGINE, ENGINE STOPPAGE, LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. ENROUTE 25 JULY 2016 ON US HWY 64 FROM DURANGO, CO TO TAOS, NM, CRESTING 10,500 FT MOUNTAIN PASS, STARTING DOWNGRADE, VEHICLE STARTED TO MISFIRE, FUEL SMELL, FLUCTUATING RPM BETWEEN 1500 AND ZERO, THEN ENGINE STOPPED, LOSING POWER TO STEERING AND BRAKING, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SAFELY PULL TO A STOP. FORTUNATE TO LOCATE A LEVEL PULL-OFF. UPON EXITING VEHICLE, OBSERVED STRONG FUEL SMELL, BUT NO FUEL LEAK IN ENGINE COMPARTMENT OR UNDER VEHICLE. OPENED FUEL TANK FILLER CAP AND VENTED WITH FILLER TOOL. ATTEMPTED TO START VEHICLE WITHOUT SUCCESS, BUT STRONG FUEL SMELL AND FUEL SPILL GENERATED UNDER THE VEHICLE. PUSHED VEHICLE AWAY FROM FUEL SPILL. ATTEMPTED TO START VEHICLE A SECOND TIME WITHOUT SUCCESS, GENERATING ANOTHER FUEL SPILL FROM COVER PANEL UNDER LH PASSENGER. REMOVED COVER AND FOUND OUTBOARD OF THE TWO FUEL LINES SEPARATED AT CONNECTION. REASSEMBLED FUEL LINE CONNECTION, BELIEVING THE CONNECTION TO BE SECURE. SUCCESSFULLY RESTARTED VEHICLE AND RE-SECURED COVER PANEL. PROCEEDED TO DESTINATION, BUT WITH APPROXIMATELY FUEL LEVEL, INDICATING THAT APPROXIMATELY FUEL LEVEL LOST DURING FUEL LINE SEPARATION. UPON REACHING DESTINATION, REMOVED LH COVER PANEL TO RE-ACCESS FUEL LINE CONNECTIONS. PULLED AND RELEASED FUEL LINE CONNECTION, REASSEMBLED CONNECTION, PRESSED THE GREEN LOCKING TAB AND PULLED CONNECTION TO ENSURE IT WAS SECURE. UPON RETURN HOME 28 JULY 2016 DEALER SERVICE TECHNICIAN INSPECTED FUEL LINE CONNECTIONS, FOUND THEM SECURE, ADDED TIE WRAPS TO BOTH FUEL LINE CONNECTIONS TO PREVENT GREEN LOCKING TAB FROM DISENGAGING UNLESS TIE WRAPS ARE REMOVED. 29 JULY 2016 CALL TO FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE STATED THIS WAS A NON-ISSUE SINCE SERVICE RETURNED VEHICLE TO USER.

THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION IN MODERATE TRAFFIC GOING APPROXIMATELY 45MPH WHEN THE ENGINE UNEXPECTEDLY SHUTOFF AND THE ACCELERATOR BECAME NON-RESPONSIVE. WAS ABLE TO CAREFULLY COAST THE VEHICLE TO THE SHOULDER, PUT IN PARK, AND RESTART THE VEHICLE. EXTREMELY CONCERNED THAT THIS HAPPENED AS I'M TRAVELING OUT OF STATE WITH MY FAMILY ON VACATION. WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW WITHIN THE LAST 60 DAYS AND IT HAS LESS THAN 2,000 MILES ON IT. WE THOUGHT WE WERE GETTING RID OF A LEMON VEHICLE WHEN WE TRADED IN FOR THIS, BUT ALTHOUGH OUR LAST VEHICLE HAD A LOT OF ISSUES IT WASN'T NEARLY AS CONCERNING OR DANGEROUS AS THIS 1 ISSUE WITH THE FORD EDGE. THERE SHOULD BE AN IMMEDIATE NATIONWIDE RECALL.

VEHICLE HAS REPEATED DELAYS WHEN PRESSING ACCELERATOR PETAL FOLLOWED BY SUDDEN BURSTS OF POWER. WHILE CHANGING LANES ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY THERE WAS NO RESPONSE IN ACCELERATION AND POWER WAS LOST. RAPID, AGGRESSIVE PETAL PRESSURE RESTORED POWER AFTER 10-14 SECONDS. CRASH NARROWLY AVERTED.

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY WENT TO IDLE. HAD TO COAST TO A STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE CAR WAS STILL IDLING BUT WHEN I TRIED TO GIVE IT GAS, NOTHING HAPPENED. I SHUT THE CAR OFF, RESTARTED AND IT WORKED FINE. APPROX. 10 MILES LATER, DID THE SAME THING. CAR ONLY HAS 9,200 MILES. I DRIVE THE INTERSTATE DAILY AND THIS IS GOING TO BE VERY DANGEROUS IF IT HAPPENS THERE. WILL BE AT THE DEALER AT 9:00AM SHARP TOMORROW.

I WAS DRIVING A RENTAL FORD EDGE AND SLOWED DOWN FOR A TRAFFIC SIGNAL. WITHOUT WARNING, THE ACCELERATOR WOULD NOT WORK AND SUV WAS MOVING AT < 10 MILES/HR WITHOUT ANY ACCELERATION. ON CONTACTING THE ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE FROM RENTAL COMPANY, I WAS TOLD THAT THIS CAN HAPPEN WITH THIS VEHICLE AT 10-12,000 MILE MARK. I WAS TOLD TO TURN OFF THE IGNITION AND TURN OFF AFTER FEW SECONDS AND IT SHOULD WORK. ON DOING SO, I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE FOR FEW BLOCKS BUT THE VEHICLE STALLED AGAIN. THERE WAS NO WARNING ON SUV'S SCREEN. I WAS ALSO TOLD BY THE TOW TRUCK OPERATOR THAT HE HAS TOWED FEW VEHICLES WITH SIMILAR ISSUES.
