Summary

MY 2017 FORD EDGE WITH A 4 CYLINDER 2.0 ECOBOOST ENGINE AND 81,000 MILES NEEDS A NEW ENGINE, AS PER MY LOCAL FORD DEALER. I RECENTLY HAD COOLANT LEAK INTO THE ENGINE THROUGH THE CYLINDERS. ALL PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE WORK, INCLUDING OIL CHANGES, HAVE BEEN DONE WHEN REQUIRED. Daytona beach Automall DEALERSHIP TELLS ME THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND TOTALLY MY RESPONSIBILITY TO REPLACE THE ENGINE AT A COST OF APPROXIMATELY $5500. THIS PROBLEM EXISTS WITH FORD ECOBOOST ENGINES ALL OVER THE COUNTRY AND FORD HAS BEEN AWARE OF IT FOR YEARS. NO RECALLS HAVE BEEN MADE SINCE MANY OF THESE PROBLEMS OCCUR AFTER THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED AND THEN IT'S THE CUSTOMERS RESPONSIBILITY. FORD MOTOR COMPANY IS NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR PRODUCT WHEN THEY HAVE KNOWN FOR SOME TIME THAT THEY HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE ECOBOOST ENGINE.

Summary

Both rear tires have what our Ford dealer called "unusual tread wear." The tires are under a 50,000 mile warranty; however, Hankook has refused to honor the prorated replacement tires covered by their warranty. Furthermore, Hankook has been aware for several years this particular model of tires has odd tread issues, yet they continue to put their defective and dangerous product out on the road. The specific tire is the Hankook Ventus S1 Noble 2 245/50%20 102V Multiple attempts have been made to have Hankook uphold their warranty without success. Clearly they will not voluntarily recall this product. The public needs to be made aware of what they are driving on. NOTE: There is no specific date of incident, as this is an on-going issue. Random date has been generated.

Summary

2017 Edge titanium at roughly 70k miles had check engine light come on then engine coolant temp light. Checked coolant and it was nearly empty. Filled up and within one day it was back to low. Took to two places and both said head gasket issue, with coolant seeping into engine. Both said long block replacement required. This long thread is exactly what happened and seems to be a consistent issue which is very poor on Ford’s part - https://www.cargurus.com/Cars/Discussion-t57176_ds1047694

Summary

My engine light came on for the first time on a Thursday, Jan 13, 2022. I had an appointment for an oil change with an independent service center on Saturday (1/15/22) & asked them to do a diagnostic check prior to the oil change. They found a code for PO303 Misfire on cylinder 3. They recommended a coolant pressure test per TSB 19-2208. The test was done the following Monday (1/17/22) and they found coolant leaking into cylinder. Replacement of the long block engine assembly per TSB 19-2208 was recommended. Engine was replaced by independent service center (completed 1/25/22). My safety & the safety of others was put at a high risk with this defect in the engine. When the coolant pressure test was done, it took less than 1 hour for all of the coolant to leak into the cylinder. Prior to my engine light coming on, I had no indication of any issue. However, Ford was definitely aware of this issue, since they issued the TSB on June 26, 2019. A vehicle that is less than 5 years old should not need a new engine.

Summary

In early December, the vehicle was at approximately 80,000 miles and scheduled for an oil change. A CEL illuminated the day before the oil change. Firestone changed the oil and advised that two codes came on during a code scan: P0302 and P0316. I made an appointment at Complete Car Car for their first available appointment a week out. In the intervening week, the vehicle had a rough idle for the first thirty seconds after startup. The second mechanic pulled the same codes and put a scope into the engine. The scope confirmed that there was a crack in the No. 2 cylinder that was allowing coolant into the engine. They advised that the car would likely need a new engine. They provided TSB 19-2346 and recommended I take the vehicle to the Ford dealership for further investigation. Classic Ford states that the vehicle will require a new engine at a cost of $7,500. Dealership cautioned against any additional miles being put on car, since a failure could result in damage to transmission. Will ask dealership for photos of damage engine components, but current engine will be kept by dealership once new engine arrives.

Summary

A warning lamp for the power train came on while traveling on the highway (Wrench indicator). We stopped to check the owners manual for the meaning of the wrench indicator. After seeing it was for the power train, we started back up and headed towards Edgefield (where we live) and get to the closest Ford dealer. After starting the vehicle back up, the warning lamp was no longer lit. While accelerating to highway speeds entering the highway, the engine flex plate gave out and all power from the engine was lost. The vehicle still kept power to the electrical systems (Power steering, A/C, lights, etc.) but no power was being pushed to the wheels. Had the incident happened at full highway speeds, it is unknown what damage could have occurred. This is the assumption from myself due to the symptoms provided from the vehicle at the halt. Symptoms include: Grinding/Rattling sound from the rear of the engine, sounds more prevalent at idle and when shifting into gear, loss of power to wheels, and no other systems have issue after incident. Vehicle is currently at Herlong Ford (SC Ford Dealer) awaiting diagnostic and possible maintenance after the incident. I would assume the vehicle would be available for inspection upon request. After conducting research, we are now aware of a known recall on this specific vehicle for its age and time of manufacturing. The owned vehicle falls into the criteria for the recall but it is unknown why it is not noted on the vehicle history/Ford recall center. The vehicle was manufactured at the Oakville plant, falls within the recall years 2013-2018, and has shown all symptoms pertaining to the recall that is open on other vehicles.

Summary

head gasket engineering defect - failed. - coolant leaking in cylinder - engine cracked - only 67,000 miles - was under warranty on years but over on mileage by 7,000 - refused to assist with cost of replacing engine - out of pocket cost close to 11,000 - 2,000 (recouped 1500) was for diagnosis from local garage and 9,000 for engine at Ford Dealership. No assistance with rental car, as well. Replacing engine lead time is 3 months! This is the only vehicle in household. Ford is aware of the engineering defect - has recently revised engineering to correct - a recall should be performed on cars from 2016 thru 2018 with Ford. The consumer should NOT be responsible for an engineering defect. These problems can surface as quick as 20,000 miles. Again! Coolant leak in cylinder destroyed the engine. Where are the Technical Service Bulletins on these vehicles!!? Prestine maintenance records follow this car - no fault of consumer - this is 100 percent Ford's fault. These need to be recalled immediately before a fatal accident occurs.

Summary

While driving on August 8, 2021, I heard a pop on my 2071 Ford Edge panoramic tempered glass roof. I subsequently found a crack/break when I was cleaning the glass roof. I notified the Ford Dealership (FD) (Lithia Ford of Fresno California) on my next oil change on December 15, 2021. Based on my ocular inspection the crack/break appears to emanate from a bubble in the tempered glass roof as opposed to FD’s opinion that object impact caused the cracking. In my online research, cracking, popping and even exploding without impact have happened to tempered automotive glasses have occurred across different vehicle models across different vehicle manufacturers. The presence of bubbles in the manufacturing process have caused weak points across the surfaces of many tempered automotive glass resulting in cracking, breaking, popping and exploding. When this occurs, vehicle occupants as well as other moving motorists could be injured. The tempered automotive glass that exhibit bubbles should not be installed by vehicle manufacturers like Ford. Intensified quality control of tempered automotive glass should be done by vehicle manufacturers before these are installed. Tempered panoramic glass roofing ( sunroof & moonroof) found with bubbles that are installed in all vehicles should be inspected and replaced if necessary to prevent injury to vehicle occupants and moving motorists.

My car stated hesitating when you’re trying to accelerate and slightly shaking a couple days before my check engine light turned on. I took it to a local mechanic which informed me they did a test and my coolant mixed with the oil. They made a call to Ford and was informed that the only option was to replace the whole engine. He was unable to repair it because understaffed went to two other mechanics and they also were unable to help. My car is now with Ford dealership for more than 2 weeks and was just again diagnosed for $159 and they once again confirmed I will need a whole new engine at just over 70,000 miles $8400 and no idea when they will be able to get the parts in… could be 3 months.

The technician at Freedom Ford advised that this has happened to numerous 2.0L Ecoboost motors from 2017-2019 & now the motors have been changed & the problem no longer occurs after 2019. He says that he knows of no recalls. Ford is very well aware of the problem & should do a recall- we paid good money for these cars & they should last longer.

Summary

I can not see a dark road in the night if there is no additional lighting, such as street lights. I have been to the dealership and there is no brighter bulbs approved by Ford; they have repositioned the lights and it does not help. I have missed a right turn several times and understeered. Twice I have missed the road completely and ran into a ditch that was not made visable when using the dim headlights. I have hit a fence post after going into the ditch. I made no insurance claim thinking that I was my fault that I can not see well in this vehicle. I see several post online with complaints and concerns regarding this same issue of the 2017 Edge Titanium not have efficient dim headlights. This is a major safety concern. I can not see to safely drive at night on dark roads such as in the country. I can not see the road ahead of me more that a couple of feet and not at all when turning right. I bought the car from a dealership in spring this year, 2021. I seldom drive at night and I finally decided it is a vehicle issue not my personal issue with not being able to see the road at night. I will be going back to the dealership...again. It looks like I will have to buy a different car since there is nothing that can be done to make this car safe!!

Summary

My car started rough idling, about a week after that the check engine light came on. We took it to get checked out, the code was for a misfire on cylinder 2. The technician performed an inspection and informed us that we needed new spark plugs and ignition coil. After installing the new parts, the technician noticed coolant inside the cylinders and the engine, there was also white smoke coming out of the tailpipe when starting the vehicle. Our technician did some more research and came across a service bulletin from Ford (19-2346) regarding 2.0 L Ecoboost engines. Our Ford Edge falls under the service bulletin. The technician informed us that the only fix would be a completely new engine which we had to pay for. We have submitted this to our warranty company and have received partial coverage for the repair and parts. We were without the car for almost a month while waiting for diagnostics, parts, and repair. When we brought it in originally and were under the impression we would get the car back the same day and were planning on a 6 hour road trip to attend my son's hockey tournament. I am so thankful that we had a thorough and diligent technician who noticed the coolant, otherwise I would have taken the car on the road and I'm sure the engine would have given out on me somewhere along the way, leaving me stranded in a remote area of Alaska in freezing temperatures.

automatic door latches and inside lights and flashers switch on and off randomly. It does not matter if the car is being driven or sitting overnight in the driveway. This may cause the battery to drain and require jumping off. It also allows for theft if the doors are unlocked. The problem was checked out by my local ford dealership. A representative went for a test drive and said he only heard the door latches click one time so it was not bad enough to worry about. I was told by the ford service rep. that it could be a low voltage problem so I replaced the car battery and the electronic key batteries but the problem continues.

Summary

Bought a used 2017 Ford Edge in June of 2021 75K miles. Approx. three weeks later the check engine light came on. Diagnostic code was misfire in the number 2 cylinder. Spark plugs and coil packs were replaced. Check engine light remained on. Several days later check engine light went off. Brought the car in for a recall fix on brake hose and spoke with Ford technician that I was getting ready to travel to TN and wanted to make sure that it was safe to do so. Assured that it would be fine. During the course of our trip to TN the check engine light came on and off several times. On our way home noticed the heat wasn't working very well. Before we left the hotel in the morning checked coolant level and it was low. Filled it up and continued on our way home. Since then every three days coolant level is low. Starting up in the morning puff of white smoke comes out the pipe. Out of Fords warranty and a loan on a car I have had three months with a major problem. Did some research only to find this is a common problem that could potentially cause a fire. Dealer says I need a new engine...and I have to pay for it.

Took car to Roush Ford (Columbus Ohio) and dealer confirmed the misfire was caused by coolant leaking into engine. Dealer said a long block and related parts would be ordered to fix the problem. Now waiting for call from dealer to repair, no time frame given but they stated repair time would be long. Continue to drive car with engine light coming on and misfires at startup, hope car does not fail on freeway. Repairs may be covered by Ford but no info about rental car at Ford expense. Also have a 2015 Edge with same turbo engine which could fail the same way at any time as it has 80,000 miles.

Summary

mechanic told me that radiator fluid was leaking into the number 2 cylinder which could cause the car to lose power. motor is a 2.0 eco boost. car has 62000 miles. i believe this is a very dangerous situation going down a busy highway or actually anytime. ford has known about this problem for a long time but has failed to do anything. mechanic told me many 2.0 motors has this problem of anti-freeze leaking into motor and ford issued a message about the problem to ford dealerships and how to fix it. their should be a recall to fix the problem before something bad happens. thank you

Summary

Car was mysteriously losing coolant which would lead to overheating. We would have to fill the coolant tank two times a month. When brought to the mechanic to find the leak, none could be found. Check engine light would go on and off periodically. One day, the car randomly wouldn't start. Being told by the mechanic that there is a catastrophic engine failure and the whole motor and turbo would need to be replaced. He said he had the same year and model come in not 2 months prior with the exact same issues. Coolant was leaking within the engine, hence why it couldn't be found during normal tests. a 2017 motor with less than 100,000 miles should not be experiencing engine failure.

Summary

I received a letter from ford in May that there was a recall on my model ford fusion. I have called my ford dealer 3 times since May and they keep saying they haven't received the parts for this recall. Am I putting my family at risk by driving my vehicle? How much longer can I expect to wait? On may 5th I had front and back rotors replaced because my brakes were making a strange noise when I pressed on them. Is this part of the recall problem? If it is shouldn't I get a refund for the work done? It cost me $667.85 Thank you for your time.

Summary

My 3 ½ year old Ford Edge needs a new engine. It is a known problem with Ford Motor company and I believe there should be, if not a class action lawsuit against the company. My car is past the standard powertrain warranty and I declined extended warranty when I purchased the car. The check engine light came in. I took it to car dealer to figure out what was wrong and Kenny Ross Ford in Adamsburg, PA said I need a new engine. It is a 2017 Ford Edge with 73,000 miles. The local service center said it would be about 8-9k to fix it. There was not an issue with the vehicle reported under warranty. It sputtered a bit over the past three years, but I thought nothing of it. Normally I would just say it’s my bad luck, however this is a known problem with Ford Motor company. When my wife dropped the car off the dealership, the gentlemen at the dealer said he hopes it isn’t an engine replacement because it is common for that car. He didn’t even look at the car before saying that and he knew exactly what was going on. My wife told me about it so I immediately looked online. (See link at the end of this message with similar complaints about this car) One owner said they contacted the Kentucky attorney general’s office as well. Some of them said they had to replace the engine a second time after two years. Hundreds of people are reporting the SAME EXACT PROBLEM and it appears like the new motor they put eventually fails again. I feel that Ford Motor is purposefully hiding a design flaw and don’t want to issue a recall because of the cost. I feel cheated and I want them to replace my motor at no cost or buy my car back from me at full KBB trade in value at excellent condition. I contacted them directly on Friday and informed them that I was contacting the attorney generals office. I told them I want an engine replacement and I should not be responsible for it. https://www.cargurus.com/Cars/Discussion-t69477_ds1054339

Summary

Engine overheating due to a KNOWN issue with coolant leaking into the cylinders of the 2017 Ford Edge. Ford knows about this issue as I have seen it reported on several different sites. This should be recalled as my vehicle began to overheat while I was driving. This puts my wife and my family at danger. I had my car serviced at the Ford dealership since it was purchased and this issue was never brought up. So this is not a servicing issue it is an issue with the engine itself.

Summary

The engine in the 2017 Ford Explorer has a history of seizing, catching fire and failure without notice. This could cause serious injury or death. This is a very well known problem at Ford Motor Company and they are doing nothing to fix it. In fact they are hiding from it. The internet is loaded with information on this. The coolant leaks into the engine and destroys it. This has happened so much there are no more engines available in the country. It's not a matter if, it's a matter of when it will happen. 40,000 miles? 60,000 miles? My car has 77,000 miles. Ford is asking customers replace the engine at $7700 to the customer. There should be a recall and replacement process from Ford Motor Company fully funded by Ford. They engineered a bad engine. Sold it to the public. And they are ignoring the safety of the public for money. I have dealt with Morrie's Minnetonka Ford in Minnetonka Minnesota and they say Ford will not recall the engine despite the danger to the public. As usual it's all about the money.

Where's the urgency due to a safety recall? Can you help? I have contacted the local dealership over 5 times to see when this safety recall can be taken care of. Each time the response is the same. They have no parts and they are on backorder. Required to call back at a later date.First recall notice was received September 2020, Latest recall notice May 2021. Recall has not been completed.

Summary

In the Ford Edge Titanium model (I own a 2017), the 2.0L engine developed a crack in the long block between cylinders. This causes coolant to leak in the cylinders and the spark plug to seize. The engine will miss-fire and could stop running. This has happened to a multitude of Ford Edges and Escapes with the 2.0L engine. Ford is very aware of this issue.

Summary

2017 Ford Edge - we were driving along at approximately 50 mph when all of a sudden the vehicle lost power and it slowed down very fast. The car in back of us almost hit us! We limped along until we could shut the car off. It cleared up temporarily but happened twice on way to local mechanic. His engine analyzer did not show anything and the car ran fine for a couple of weeks so I thought maybe there had been some bad gasoline. Then it happened again several times. It was this second series of incidents when we almost had a crash. In driving 10 miles to return to the local mechanic it decelerated 5 times and stalled each time. Now both the check engine light and the wrench warning lights come on. The mechanic's engine analyzer now shows the throttle body is defective. Since he does not have the part in stock we are still waiting to have it repaired. A Ford service dealer has not yet looked at the car. I may now take it to a Ford dealer but getting there is risky.

Driving Edge with 62,000 miles on it and had a Check Engine Light later determined to be P303 (cylinder 3 misfire). I replaced coolant after finding the reservoir low. I noticed white smoke and misfiring engine at first start. The engine stuttered on the freeway and was unsafe. Ford Dealership determined a coolant leak caused this issue and will replace the engine minus my deductible on my extended service plan. As I understand it, this ecoboost engine is prone to this defect. I am only getting a rental car for 5 days on a job that will be much longer.

I have a ecoboost engine on my Ford Edge that has known issues from Ford. Currently after driving past the 60k mile warranty cylinder 4 on my engine started leaking coolant into the engine block. I took my car to Ford to get it checked because I started to get notifications that the engine was overheating while in the car with my toddler. The mechanic informed me later that there was a TSB 19-2346 on my car and many others like it. I was told Ford would no help in anyway with replacing the engine. There was supposed to be a sensor inside my car to let me know about the coolant levelling dropping the way they have been but there wasn’t even that. The car only let me know of the issue at the end when it started overheating to dangerous levels

After received a recall notice for 20S42 in May 2021 I have contacted local dealerships weekly and they have continued to tell me that they can't get the parts from Ford. I called Ford today and they tell me that the parts that they originally sent out still have a defect so they are going to be issuing new parts and a NEW recall notice at the end of July. It is ridiculous for it to take this long to resolve something that has been deemed a safety issue. Also, the dealerships do not seem to have this information because all they know is "they can't get the parts". The backorder/issue with parts should have been communicated to the dealerships and vehicle owners.

Summary

The engine of my 2017 Ford Edge began to misfire intermittently in 2019. When it was finally able to be diagnosed in 2020, it was determined fuel had escaped around a spark plug. The spark plugs were replaced. Approximately one year later, the issue began again. Upon further inspection, it was found that a head gasket had gone bad. While there is not definite evidence of a coolant leak, it is suspected a leak may have initiated the issue. Research has also indicated the engine block is most likely cracked. While driving, the engine would often lull and stop accelerating. This happened several times as I attempted to drive down the interstate, being forced to exit the highway due to not being able to move with the speed of traffic. After the first repair of the spark plugs, the car seemed to drive fine, however, they shouldn't have gone bad within a year of install indicating a much larger issue. The car is unable to be driven. Even with replacing the head gasket, I do not feel the car would be safe with a cracked engine block. Nor should the motor have gone bad this soon.

Summary

I was backing up into a driveway (very slight incline) when my power steering went out. Lights came on stating, "Steering assist fault, service required" and "service advanced trac." I could barely turn my wheel. There was no earlier warning of this issue and I had just driven 3 hours on the highway so was fortunate that it didn't fail while on the road. I tried restarting my car a few times and then I called a Ford dealer. The car was towed in for a diagnostic. This revealed that the EPAS rack failed and needed to be replaced with an estimate of over $3000. The purpose of EPAS is to enhance the steering ability for the driver, but the car is not steerable without its proper functioning which is a huge safety hazard to the driver and anyone else near them on the road.

Summary

Service Code P0302 and P0316 indicating Cylinder #2 malfunction/misfiring---2017 FORD Edge SE FWD 2.0L EcoBoost. Check engine light came on at 59,995 miles, Sunday, March 28, 2021. Thus far, no one in danger. But some of the symptoms of this inherent, internal engine, failure code make the operation of the vehicle dangerous. The vehicle may stop abruptly or stall out. Occasionally, engine runs rough, shakes with hesitations and jerks with acceleration. 06/18/2021 inspected at Pinnacle FORD in Nicholasville, Ky. "Allowed engine to reach operation temperature and pressurized for 5 hours, 8 PSI drop in pressure. Removed spark plug and used borescope to verify coolant intrusion in the cylinder. Customer given estimate for long block rebuild". The engine light came on & off (more often) for the next 4 weeks or so after 3/29/2021. I stopped by the dealer on Monday, 3/29 to get appointment.They were 2 1/2 weeks out booking appointments.Approximately 3 weeks passed without definite symptoms or smell, engine light off & on.Had a friend mechanic look at hoses and the like, without finding any leakage, smell of antifreeze, etc. Tested P0302 diagnostic code. Changed the spark plugs.

Summary

In 2019 I had the same issue as prior report. Coolant made it's way into the engine and my engine had to be replaced. Actually occurred within warranty so Ford replaced it. On then new engine there is no warranty once I reach the original warranty in mileage / time. Now in 2021 I am replacing a transmission that is not covered under warranty. There is a recall for transmission on 2017 and 2018, mine is a 2017, and my vin does not indicate it is subject to that recall (Recall no. 19V285000). Cost is $4,600.

Summary

Coolant leak into cylinder. Manufacture defect. Known issue by Ford but will not cover any replacement as vehicle is out of warranty by 7000 miles. A 2017 with 67000 driven by a grandma 5 mph under the speed limit should not need a new engine. Engine light comes on. Misfires. Puffs of white smoke. Didn’t take to dealer as closest if 1/2 hour away. Took to local repair shop. They ran codes and said it is a known problem from Ford. NHTSA ID Number: 10162071 Manufacturer Communication Number: TSB 19-2208 Summary Some 2015-2018 Edge and 2017-2019 Fusion/MKZ/Escape/MKC vehicles equipped with a 2.0L EcoBoost engine may exhibit a low coolant level, white exhaust smoke and/or a runs rough condition with or without an illuminated malfunction indicator lamp (MIL). Diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) may include P0300, P0301-P0304, P0316, P0217, P1285 and/or P1299 stored in powertrain control module (PCM). This may be due to coolant intrusion into the cylinder. To correct the condition, follow the Service Procedure steps to replace the long block engine assembly. This needs to be a recall or at least Ford needs to cover the replacement costs for those with issues.

Summary

2017 Ford edge with 79,000 miles began to make a loud engine rattle, it almost sounded like someone had put a semi-engine in it overnight. No check engine lights ever appeared. Took it to a local shop and they came out to look at it and said it sounded really bad and I needed to tow it to a Ford House immediately. Once Ford took it apart they found that the flywheel had cracked, and it caused my crankshaft to crack as well. They're saying I need a complete engine replacement for $8,000. Big safety issue that no check engine light never came on with complete engine failure.

Summary

On May 24, 2021 my brakes failed on my 2017 Ford Edge and it was towed to Baxter Ford in Omaha NE (dealership where I purchased the vehicle). Baxter determined this was due to Safety recall 20S42 / NHTSA recall 20V-469. After repair was made on the front flexible brake lines the car was still not performing correctly and Baxter determined the right rear brake line also needed to replaced. This was not covered under the recall or the warranty. I called my ASE certified mechanic, who has been servicing all of my vehicles for over 10 years, to discuss with them. They told me the front and rear brakes lines are separate from each other, but they have been servicing many Ford vehicles with same rear brake line problem and just had 2 Ford F150's the previous week, one with about the same mileage as my vehicle (61,000). I am diligent with servicing my car for maintenance, oil changes and repair. My vehicle had been in to my mechanic on Feb. 18, 2021 at 57,318 miles and all fluids were also checked and everything was fine. On May 24, 2021 at 61,892 miles my 2 front brake lines and one rear brake all lost their fluid at the same time. Baxter Ford filed a request with Ford to have this covered for repair and it was denied. I contacted Ford to request to have this reviewed and was denied. However, I was told just to hold on to my receipt in case the NHTSA files a recall and would be reimbursed at that time. I have also talked to several other Ford vehicle owners who have experienced the same problem and I think this needs to be reviewed. You can reach me at [XXX] or [XXX] if you have questions or need additional information. Thank you, [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

In February we had a knocking noise when driving 2017 Ford edge. We took into dealership and had a cracked flywheel. Currently, our 2017 edge is back in the shop with another crackes flywheel. This vehicle was taken to a Ford dealership 1 week after we purchased to replace the whole engine for 3 months. Then we are dealing with 2 cracked flywheels and have had the brake lines fail twice, which is also a recall. This vehicle is a lemon!

Summary

On my 2017 Edge, the brakes "grab" rather than stopping smoothly. This winter, driving on snow covered roads, you couldn't slow up approaching a stop light without the ABS system coming into play. There was no gentle way of stopping the car. Tapping the brakes is like a "panic" stop with a regular vehicle. Ford has replaced the Brake Booster on 2015-2016 models but not 2017. Refer to TSB# SSM-45857.

Summary

We are having an ongoing issue with the tailgate malfunctioning of our 2017 Ford Edge Titanium. The tailgate will suddenly will not open for no reason after pushing the remote as well as the button on the hatch . We have tried resetting it on the menu and it will work for a while and then won’t open again. I have read that other owners have reported that it closes on their heads while putting stuff in the back. This is a safety issue because we can’t get to the spare tire if need be because of a design flaw that allows no manual operation of this tailgate!! I can’t believe this issue has not been addressed by Ford or the NTSB. Very frustrated.

Summary

2017 Ford Edge w/2.0 EcoBoost engine. Vehicle had about 64000 miles, started vehicle in morning and it idled rough. Check engine light came on. I used a code reader and it showed "random misfire, cylinder 4" P0304. Reset the check engine light and drove for about 10 more days. Started again in the morning and it idled rough causing the check engine light to come on again. I took vehicle to Ford and they diagnosed "fluid intrusion into cylinder walls". Service adviser knew exactly what it was when I described problem, saying "this is a common occurrence". Replaced engine at a cost of $5302 since it was approx. 6ooo miles out of warranty. Found numerous online complaints about this same engine and same problem. Ford seems to know about it because in Dec. 2019 they issued TSB #19-2346 describing the problem and the steps to fix it (new engine and the required parts to order). many online complaints describe low coolant and overheating. My engine would of gotten there if I hadn't taken it in to the dealer.

WHILE DRIVING IN NEW ALBANY, INDIANA ON SATURDAY, APRIL 10, 2021, THE BRAKE LIGHTS ALL CAME ON AT ONCE. MY HUSBAND HAD ME PULL OVER INTO A PARKING SPOT AND HE SAID THERE WAS 0 BRAKE FLUID IN THE RESERVOIR. HE HAS WORKED ON BRAKES AS A MECHANIC HIS WHOLE LIFE (71 YO NOW) AND SAID HE HAD NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT. HE DROVE TO A VERY CLOSE GAS STATION AND GOT A CAN OF BRAKE FLUID AND WHEN WE GOT HOME HE HAD HIS BROTHER LOOK UNDER IT WHILE HE PUMPED THE BRAKES. IMMEDIATELY NOTICED THE HOSE WAS RUPTURED. TOOK IT TO HERITAGE FORD IN CORYDON, IN WHICH IS THE CLOSEST FORD DEALIERSHIP TO US. WE FOUND PAPERWORK THAT WAS SENT IN SEPT. 2020 THAT SAID THIS WAS SAFETY RECALL NOTICE 20S42/NHTSA RECALL 20V-469. THEY CALLED AND SAID THEY WILL NOT PAY FOR THIS. WE CALLED THE MAIN FORD CORP. PHONE NUMBER AND THEY TOLD US THE SAME THING. BOTH THE DEALER AND FORD CORP. SAY WE MUST PAY UPFRONT AND MAY BE ABLE TO GET OUR MONEY BACK AND THERE MAY BE A FORM BUT ALL WE GOT WAS A TOLL FREE NUMBER TO FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY DO NOT ANSWER THE PHONE. THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN FAILURE TO BRAKE OR STOP, CAUSING INJURY OR DEATH AS IT WAS IMMEDIATE WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. THEY ONLY REPLACED THE PASSENGER SIDE AND WILL NOT REPLACE THE PASSENGER SIDE. THEY DID NOT CHECK THE BRAKES FOR FURTHER WEAR OR DAMAGE. THE RECALL NOTICE, INVOICE, AND PROOF OF PAYMENT ARE ATTACHED. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND NOT RIGHT. FORD DEALER AND MAIN CORPORATE OFFICE HAVE SAID "THEY DON'T KNOW HOW THEY ARE GOING TO HANDLE THIS AND THAT'S WHY WE HAVE TO PAY UPFRONT." WE WANT OUR MONEY BACK TO START WITH AND WANT THE OTHER SIDE REPAIRED AT THEIR EXPENSE ALONG WITH BRAKE INSPECTION. THEY ALSO DID NOT OFFER A COURTESY VEHICLE ALTHOUGH WE ASKED REPEATEDLY FOR ONE.

AT ROUGHLY 77,500 MILES OUR ENGINE STARTING MISFIRING BOTH WHILE STATIONARY AND IN MOTION. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WE PULLED CODE P0305, INDICATING CYLINDER #2 MISFIRE. WE REPLACED THE COILS AND SPARK PLUGS AND THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO MISFIRE. WE THEN BEGAN HEARING FLUID MOVING BEHIND OUR DASH BOARD AND NOTICED THAT THE COOLANT TANK WAS LOW BUT NO VISIBLE COOLANT LEAK WAS FOUND. WE TOOK THE CAR TO A LOCAL FORD DEALER'S SERVICE CENTER (WOODHOUSE FORD - OMAHA, NE) FOR INSPECTION AND DIAGNOSIS. THEY CONFIRMED THAT ENGINE COOLANT WAS LEAKING INTO CYLINDER #2, CAUSING THE MISFIRE. IT WAS ALSO LEAKING INTO THE HEATING ELEMENT, CAUSING A PUTRID SMELL IN THE CAB OF THE VEHICLE AND THE RUSHING FLUID SOUND BEHIND THE DASHBOARD. THEY CONFIRMED THIS IS RELATED TO FORD TSB 19-2346. FORD STATED THAT THE REPAIR REQUIRES A $6300 REPLACEMENT ENGINE AND THEY ARE NOT LIABLE FOR THE DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE AS A RESULT OF THEIR DEFECT. PER THE TSB, THIS ENGINE DEFECT MAY RESULT IN ENGINE FIRES BUT FORTUNATELY IT DID NOT GET TO THIS POINT FOR US.

Summary

MY 2017 FORD EDGE WITH A 4 CYLINDER 2.0 ECOBOOST ENGINE AND 81,000 MILES NEEDS A NEW ENGINE, AS PER MY LOCAL FORD DEALER. I RECENTLY HAD COOLANT LEAK INTO THE ENGINE THROUGH THE CYLINDERS. ALL PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE WORK, INCLUDING OIL CHANGES, HAVE BEEN DONE WHEN REQUIRED. DEALERSHIP TELLS ME THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND TOTALLY MY RESPONSIBILITY TO REPLACE THE ENGINE AT A COST OF APPROXIMATELY $8,500. THIS PROBLEM EXISTS WITH FORD ECOBOOST ENGINES ALL OVER THE COUNTRY AND FORD HAS BEEN AWARE OF IT FOR YEARS. NO RECALLS HAVE BEEN MADE SINCE MANY OF THESE PROBLEMS OCCUR AFTER THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED AND THEN IT'S THE CUSTOMERS RESPONSIBILITY. FORD MOTOR COMPANY IS NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR PRODUCT WHEN THEY HAVE KNOWN FOR SOME TIME THAT THEY HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE ECOBOOST ENGINE.

Summary

ON MY 2017 FORD EDGE THE EPB MOTOR AND ABS MODULE WENT OUT AT 62,000 MILES RESULTING IN BRAKES DRAGGING AND VERY DIFFICULT TO RELEASE THE PARKING BRAKE WITH THE DANGER OF LOCKING UP WHILE DRIVING. ALSO THE ENGINE IS A 4 CYLINDER 2 LITER ECOBOOST AND HAS BEEN LEAKING COOLANT INTO CYLINDER NUMBER 2 CAUSING COOLANT LEVEL TO DROP AND THE ENGINE MISFIRING EVENTUALLY LEADING TO A ENGINE WARNING LIGHT. FORD HAS ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN TO LOOK OUT FOR THESE PROBLEMS. THE ONLY REMEDY IS ENGINE REPLACEMENT AT A COST OF AT LEAST $8,000.00. FORD HAS BEEN AWARE OF THESE PROBLEMS FOR QUITE A LONG TIME BUT HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL AND WILL NOT HELP WITH THE COST OF REPAIR. I BELIEVE MY ENGINE HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY EXPIRED AT 60,000 MILES. I AM NOT A MECHANIC AND DID NOT NOTICE THE PROBLEM UNTIL MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AT APPROX. 61,500 MILES. I THINK FORD SHOULD BEAR THE RESPONSIBILITY OF ENGINE REPLACEMENT AS THE ENGINE HAS FAILED BEFORE 62,000 MILES. A CAR ENGINE SHOULD LAST MUCH LONGER. AFTER DOING RESEARCH I HAVE SEEN COMPLAINTS OF DOZENS OF SIMILAR CASES OF THE ECOBOOST ENGINES HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND BELEIVE IT HAS A DESIGN FLAW.

THIS IS AN OBVIOUS SAFETY HAZARD SINCE DRIVINGIN WINTER REQUIRES A FUNCTIONING DEFROSTER.

THERE ARE NO SIGNS OF OUTWARD LEAKS, OR A ODER OF COOLANT IN THE CABIN FROM THE HEAT CORE. IT IS NOW JANUARY, AND I CANNOT DRIVE THE CAR DUE TO LACK OF HEAT AND RISK OF DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE.

I WAS RUNNING ERRANDS DRIVING AROUND TOWN ONE DAY WHEN I NOTICED MY AUTO ENGINE START/STOP FEATURE IN MY 2017 FORD EDGE STOPPED WORKING. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP & THEY SAID IT WAS A MISFIRE IN THE ENGINE. A WEEK LATER, A YELLOW LIGHT WITH THE PICTURE OF AN ENGINE APPEARS ON MY DASH. I TOOK MY CAR FOR A DIAGNOSTIC. IT CAME BACK WITH THE CODE P0304. I TAKE MY CAR TO FORD AND THEY SUGGEST REPLACING THE LONG BLOCK. THEY QUOTE ME $6,800. I NOTICED THAT MY HEAT IN MY CAR STOPPED WORKING ON THE WAY HOME. I CHECK THE COOLANT LEVEL AND IT WAS REALLY LOW. I PUT COOLANT IN MY RESERVOIR AND IT WORKS AGAIN. BUT, I HAVE TO KEEP FILLING THE RESERVOIR WITH COOLANT EVERY OTHER DAY, WHICH GETS EXPENSIVE. I TELL THE SERVICE GUYS, AND THEY TELL ME THAT THE COOLANT IS LEAKING INTO MY ENGINE DUE TO A MANUFACTURER DEFECT, WHICH CAUSES THE HEATING TO STOP WORKING, AND LOW COOLANT LEVELS. I CONTACT FORD MOTORS COMPANY, AND THEY TELL ME MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY. I PURCHASED MY CAR USED ON FEBRUARY 27,2020. IT HAD 57 THOUSAND MILES ON IT THE DAY OF PURCHASE. THE WARRANTY WAS UP AT 60 THOUSAND MILES. NOT FAIR TO ME AT ALL AS I WAS TOLD I HAD A WARRANTY FROM THE MILEAGE I GOT THE CAR AT AND 60 THOUSAND MILES BEYOND. THEY SAID IT WAS NOTHING THEY CAN DO AND ALSO BECAUSE I DID NOT LEAVE MY CAR AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP THEY WOULD NOT WORK ON MY CASE. MY CASE MANAGER FROM FORD MOTORS NEVER EVER CONTACTED ME PRIOR TO CLOSING MY CASE ONCE SHE DISCOVERED I NEVER LEFT MY CAR AT FORD. I TRIED REACHING OUT TO HER SEVERAL TIMES IN ATTEMPTS OF GETTING MY CAR TO FORD AND SEEING WHERE WE CAN GO FROM THERE, AND SHE NEVER ANSWERED OR RETURNED ANY OF MY CALLS OR EMAILS. FORD NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE AND ISSUE A RECALL AS THEY WERE MADE AWARE OF THE EXPENSIVE ISSUE BY MANY OTHER CUSTOMERS FROM REVIEWS AND FORUMS I HAVE READ ONLINE AND HEARD FROM OTHER EDGE OWNERS.

I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN MAY 2019 WITH 43K MILES, STILL UNDER POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. IN NOVEMBER 2020 I NOTICED THE VEHICLE MISFIRING DURING STARTUP AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. AFTER HAVING MY MECHANIC DIAGNOSIS, IT IS THE ISSUE OF COOLANT LEAKING INTO CYLINDER #4 AND THE ENGINE NEEDS REPLACED. IT NOW HAS 70K MILES SO IT IS OUT OF POWER TRAIN WARRANTY. THIS IS A WELL DOCUMENDED ISSUE AS REPORTED BY FORD INNITIALLY IN THEIR TSB 19-2172. THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW THAT CAUSES SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE AND SHOULD BE RECALL UNDER EVERY REASONABLE CIRCUMSTANCE.

Summary

HAPPENS EVERY TIME I BRAKE. HITTING THE BRAKE TO STOP ENGINE SHAKES VIOLENTLY AS I COME TO A STOP. IN ADDITION TO VIOLENT ENGINE SHAKING THE CAR IS THRUSTING FORWARD. I HAVE TO PUT MY FOOT HARDER ON THE BRAKE NOT TO HIT THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. I WILL HAVE TO THROW IT IN NEUTRAL TO STOP THE SHAKING. IN NEUTRAL THE ENGINE REVS. WHEN TRAFFIC BEGINS TO MOVE I HAVE TO PUT IT BACK IN DRIVE AND HIT THE GAS BUT THEN IT LAGS SEVERELY. IT WON'T GO ANYWHERE FOR MULTIPLE SECONDS BEFORE IT FINALLY TAKES OFF. THAT LITERALLY HAPPENS EVERYTIME I STOP AND GO. IF YOU ARE IN PARK AND HAVE YOUR FOOT ON THE BRAKE TOO LONG BEFORE PUTTING IN A GEAR IT STALLS OUT. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND OPENED A CASE WITH FORD CORPORATION WHO BOTH DEEMED THE VEHICLE UNSAFE, BUT NEITHER WANT TO TAKE CARE OF THE ISSUE. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR MONTHS. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP TWICE AND FORD HAS DENIED TO ASSIST WITH GETTING IT FIXED TWICE. THERE ARE SO MANY UNSAFE 2017 FORD EDGE TRANSMISSIONS. I WISH THEY WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS. IT'S VERY SCARY TO DRIVE. MY DOCUMENTS ARE IN THE FORD COMPUTER SYSTEM. THEY SAY THE WHOLE TRANSMISSION LOCKS UP AND RHE WHOLE TRANSMISSION NEEDS REPLACED. I'VE ALMOST BEEN HIT SO MANY TIMES PULLING OUT BECAUSE THE CAR DOESN'T GO.

Summary

IN APRIL 2020, THE PASSENGER FRONT BRAKE LINE BURST AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN A HILL IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD. THE LOW BRAKE FLUID LIGHT CAME ON AS I PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL WHICH WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. FORTUNATELY, I WAS NOT GOING FAST AND NO CARS WERE COMING SO I WAS ABLE TO SLOW THE VEHICLE BY TURNING RIGHT AND GOING UP ANOTHER SMALL HILL. WE REPLACED THAT LINE OURSELVES. IN AUGUST 2020, THE DRIVER FRONT BRAKE LINE BURST IN A PARKING LOT AS I WAS SLOWING DOWN TO PARK. I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO A STOP. FORD HAD JUST ISSUED A NOTICE OF RECALL FOR THE FRONT BRAKE LINES SO I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A FORD DEALERSHIP IN SHAWNEE, KS. THEY REPLACED THE LINE WITH A TEMPORARY BRAKE LONE AS THEY DID NOT HAVE THE RECALL PART IN. IN OCTOBER 2020, THE REAR PASSENGER BRAKE LINE FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED. AS I PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL TO START THE CAR, THE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. I KNEW IMMEDIATELY THAT ONE OF THE BRAKE LINES HAD RUPTURED. I GOT OUT OF THE CAR AND SURE ENOUGH, I HAD BRAKE FLUID LEAKING FROM THE REAR PASSENGER BRAKE LINE. BECAUSE THE RECALL ONLY COVERED THE FRONT BRAKE LINES, WE REPLACED THE RUPTURED LINE AS WELL AS THE ONLY BRAKE LINE THAT HAD NOT RUPTURED. WE FIGURED IT WAS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THAT ONE BURST, TOO. I HAVE ATTACHED A PICTURE OF THE REAR BRAKE LINE THAT BURST IN OCTOBER. WE KEPT IT AS I PLAN TO TAKE IT WITH ME WHEN THE RECALL PARTS FINALLY COME IN AND DEMAND THEY CHANGE THE REAR BRAKE LINES AT NO COST AS WELL.

Summary

VEHICLE BEGAN TO IDLE ROUGHLY UPON COLD START, AFTER A FEW MINUTES IT WOULD IDLE NORMALLY. AFTER A FEW WEEKS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK TO DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR. WAS TOLD THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THEY SAID IT WILL TAKE SEVERAL WEEKS BEFORE THEY RECEIVE A NEW ENGINE. WE WERE NOT OFFERED A LOANER VEHICLE, WE HAD TO ASK FOR A LOANER VEHICLE. OUR VEHICLE HAS APPROXIMATELY 28,000 MILES. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE, APPARENTLY THIS HAS BEEN A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL VEHICLE. THE PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE A COOLANT LEAK INTO THE ENGINE CYLINDER. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS FROM OWNERS OF THIS SAME PROBLEM. MOST PEOPLE HAVE BEEN MADE TO PAY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FOR THIS ENGINE REPLACEMENT. WE HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY AND, SO FAR, HAVE NOT BEEN TOLD WE WILL BE FINANCIALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR OUR REPAIR. FORD HAS NOT RECOGNIZED THIS AS AN ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE CATEGORIZED AS A RECALL, THUS LEAVING PEOPLE WITH A LARGE REPAIR BILL. THE ENGINE DESIGN OBVIOUSLY HAVE A DEFECT THAT SHOULD NECESSITATE A FORMAL RECALL.

FORD HAS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN OUT FOR THIS ISSUE BUT BECAUSE WE ARE OVER ON THE MILEAGE THEY WILL NOT COVER ANYTHING. WE NOW HAVE A 3 YEAR OLD VEHICLE THAT IS BASICALLY WORTH NOTHING. I CALLED FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND THEY WILL NOT EVEN ADMIT THAT THEY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THIS DEFECTIVE ENGINE. THE DEALER TOLD US THAT THE NEW MOTORS HAVE THE DEFECT CORRECTED.

Summary

I WAS TURNING LEFT FROM A STOP SIGN ACROSS TWO LANES OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. WHEN I WAS CLEAR I PRESSED THE GAS AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO MOVE. PRIOR TO CLEARING THE TWO LANES OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND WOULD NOT RESTART. THIS LEFT ME SITTING IN THE MIDDLE OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND UNABLE TO GET OUT OF THE WAY. I WAS NOT HIT THANKFULLY BUT THIS COULD BE A SERIOUS ISSUE IN ANOTHER SITUATION. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES WITH THE CAR STALLING BUT THIS IS THE FIRST TIME WHERE THE SITUATION LEFT ME IN DANGER. THIS STALLING IS DUE TO A MISFIRING CYLINDER BECAUSE ENGINE COOLANT IS LEAKING INTO THE ENGINE. FORD HAS STATED THAT THE LONG BLOCK NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND THAT IT WOULD COST APPROXIMATELY $9,000. AS THE PROBLEM OCCURRED RIGHT AFTER THE 60,000 MILE WARRANTY ENDED, THEY REFUSE TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE DESPITE THE ISSUE BEING A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. SOONER OR LATER SOMEONE WILL BE HURT OR POSSIBLY KILLED BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. IS IT GOING TO TAKE SOMEONE DYING TO GET A JUSTIFIABLE RECALL ISSUED FOR THIS PROBLEM?

I WAS TOLD THAT THE ENGINE COOLANT IS LEAKING INTO THE ENGINE AND THAT THE ONLY REMEDY IS TO REPLACE THE ENGINE. THIS IS NOT A WEAR AND TEAR ISSUE BUT AFTER SEARCHING ONLINE HAVE FOUND THAT IT IS A WIDE SPREAD ISSUE PEOPLE ARE HAVING WITH THIS MODEL. FORD HAS SAID THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT UNTIL A RECALL IS ISSUED WITH MY VEHICLE BEING 1K MILES OUT OF WARRANTY. OTHERS HAVE STATED THAT FORD SERVICE HAS ADMITTED THEY HAVE HAD A LOT OF COMPLAINT AND REPAIRS FOR THE SAME ISSUE. I AM UNABLE TO PAY FOR A NEW ENGINE AND MY FAMILIES SAFETY IS AT RISK.

WHEN TURNING THE CAR ON, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE CAR IDLED ROUGH AND FAILED TO ACCELERATE PROPERLY. TOOK THE CAR TO A MECHANIC AND THE CODE WAS FOR A MISFIRE IN CYLINDER 2. MECHANIC CHANGED SPARK PLUGS AND CLEARED THE CODE. A COUPLE OF WEEKS LATER THE SAME THING OCCURRED. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD THE COOLANT WAS LEAKING INTO THE ENGINE AND THAT THE LONG BLOCK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THIS OCCURRED AT APPROXIMATELY 64,000 MILES. WITH THIS PROBLEM, THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE ACCELERATION DOESN'T FEEL RIGHT AND THE CAR SHAKES. THIS PROBLEM IS CLEARLY A DEFECT IN THE DESIGN OF THE VEHICLE. FORD NEEDS TO LOOK AT THE SITUATION AND DO THE RIGHT THING. THE FORD EDGE IS NOT A SAFE VEHICLE WITH THIS PROBLEM AND IT IS CLEARLY A DEFECT IN DESIGN.

Summary

2017 FORD EDGE WITH THE 2.0L ENGINE FAILED AT 73,143 MILES DUE TO COOLANT IN THE CYLINDERS. ORIGINAL CODE WAS A P0301 FOR MISS IN CYLINDER NUMBER ONE. REPLACED PLUGS AND COILS WITH OE FROM DEALER AND PROBLEM PERSISTED. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON AND ENGINE VIBRATION OCCURRED WHILE RUNNING AT IDLE. THERE WAS NO SMOKE EVER FROM THE EXHAUST. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE FORD DEALER AND THEY NOTED LOW COOLANT EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS NEVER AN OVERHEAT ISSUE, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR CODE STORED. DEALER REFERENCED TSB 19-2346 AND SAID ENGINE WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED AND SINCE THERE WAS NO RECALL FORD WOULD ASSUME ZERO COST. STILL OWING MONEY ON THE CAR THERE WAS NO OTHER OPTION OTHER THAN REPLACE THE ENGINE AT A COST OF $7000. GIVEN WHAT APPEARS TO BE THE FREQUENCY OF THIS SPECIFIC FAILURE COUPLED WITH THE WIDE RANGE OF MILES WHEN IT OCCURS FORD SHOULD STEP UP AND AT LEAST PARTNER WITH OWNERS TO HELP WITH THE COST OF ENGINE REPLACEMENT. THIS ISSUE COULD CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO STALL WHICH COULD LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT OR FATALITY DEPENDING UPON WHEN THE ENGINE STALLED OR WENT INTO LIMP MODE.

MY TWO YOUNG CHILDREN AND WIFE WERE IN THE CAR WITH ME AS WELL. I GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE, AND LOOKED UNDERNEATH, ONLY TO SEE BRAKE FLUID LEAKING OUT NEAR THE FRONT RIGHT TIRE. UPON GETTING BACK IN THE VEHICLE, I RECEIVED A WARNING THAT THE BRAKE FLUID LEVEL WAS LOW. THE VEHICLE HAS 43,000 MILES ON IT, AND WE HAD DRIVEN 20+ MILES EARLIER WITHOUT ISSUE. WE DID NOT RUN ANYTHING OVER OR HIT ANYTHING. THERE IS A CURRENT RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE REGARDING A BRAKE ISSUE, HOWEVER, ON TOWING TO THE DEALER, THEY TOLD ME THIS ISSUE IS NOT RELATED, YET I FEEL THAT IT IS, AND IS TOO COINCIDENTAL TO HAPPEN IN THE EXACT LOCATION OF THE RECALLED PART.

Summary

IN JUNE 2020 THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WE CALLED OUR LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT. THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO LOOK AT IT FOR A FEW DAYS, BUT WAS TOLD IT WOULD BE FINE TO DRIVE. WE NEEDED THE CAR TO GET TO WORK AND BACK SO WE TOOK IT IN TO HAVE IT CHECKED WITH ANOTHER REPUTABLE SERVICE PROVIDER. HE INFORMED US THAT WE DEFIANTLY NEEDED TO TAKE IT TO OUR LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP AS THE CODE IT WAS THROWING, P0301-P0304, WAS A MAJOR ENGINE DEFECT. HE TOLD US THAT THERE WAS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN ON THIS VEHICLE AND THAT THE ENGINE MOST LIKELY WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. WE IMMEDIATELY CALLED NEWBERG FORD AND MADE ANOTHER APPOINTMENT. WE TOOK IT IN AND AFTER A DAY IN A HALF WERE TOLD THAT IT WAS INDEED AN ENGINE DEFECT AND THE ENGINE WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. WE WERE ALSO TOLD THAT WE SHOULD NOT DRIVE THIS VEHICLE AS IT COULD FAIL WHILE DRIVING. THANK GOD WE DID NOT FOLLOW THEIR FIRST ADVICE THAT IT WOULD BE FINE TO DRIVE! AT FIRST, THEY TOLD US IT WAS GOING TO COST US OVER $8000 TO REPAIR. WE WERE DEVASTATED. WHILE WE STILL OWED SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLARS ON THE CAR, WE REALLY DID NOT HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY! WE COULDN'T NOT FIX IT AS IT IS A DAILY DRIVER. FORTUNATELY, THE DEALERSHIP CAME UP WITH A LOWER COST TO REPAIR IT, WHICH WAS WEIRD, BUT WE WERE ABLE TO FINANCE IT TO GET THE WORK DONE. NOW WE ARE NOT ONLY MAKING CAR PAYMENTS BUT ALSO PAYMENTS ON A LOAN THAT IS ALMOST HALF OF WHAT IS OWED ON THIS CAR! THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE!!! WE PURCHASED THIS CAR WITH THE CONFIDENCE WE HAVE ALWAYS HAD IN FORD. FORD IS VERY AWARE OF THIS 'DEFECT 'IN THIS ENGINE AND IS NOT WILLING TO MAKE ANY EFFORT TO RECALL IT?? THIS WAS NOT ANYTHING WE DID TO THIS VEHICLE; IT IS DUE TO A MANUFACTURING DEFECT!!!!

Summary

I BOUGHT MY 2017 FORD EDGE LESS THAN A YEAR AND HALF AGO AND THE FIRST YEAR WAS RUNNING FINE BUT THEN IT GAVE SOME BATTERY ISSUES FOR NO REASON THEN I HAD TO REPLACED IT. THAT WAS MY FIRST ISSUE WITH IT, A YEAR LATER IM DEALING WITH SOME OVERHEATING PROBLEMS WHICH I TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC AND THE DIAGNOSIS WAS THERE IS COOLANT IN THE ENGINE WITH NO LEAKING OR WHATSOEVER, APPARENTLY THE COOLANT WAS EVAPORATING INTO THE ENGINE. NOW, FORD WONT DO ANYTHING BECAUSE IM PASSED 7K MILES FROM MY WARRANTY EXPIRATION. I HOPE I'LL GET SOME HELP BECAUSE I DONT EVEN HAVE 2 YEARS WITH THIS VEHICLE AND NOW IS ALL DAMAGE FOR NO REASON. TTHE OVERHEATING ISSUES STARTED A MONTH AGO SO I DIDNT WAIT LONG TO TAKE IT TO THE MECHANIC TO CHECK IT OUT. AT THIS POINT MY SUV STILL RUNS BUT I PREFER TO NOT DRIVE IT ANYMORE BECAUSE IT COULD CAUSE MORE DAMAGE TO IT, SO I DONT HAVE A CAR TO GET TO WORK. I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR INFORMATION ABOUT WHAT TYPE OF ENGINE IS IT OR IF THIS HAS JUST HAPPENED TO ME AND I FOUND OUT THAT THERE IS A RECALLOF THIS MAKE AND MODEL. I REALLY HOPE I GET SOME HELP SINCE REPLACING THE WHOLE ENGINE IS VERY EXPENSIVE AND I CANT AFFORD IT. THEN AGAIN I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE ON OCTOBER, 2018 AND LESS THAN 2 YEARS THE ENGINE IS DAMAGED COME ON PEOPLE HOW COULD IT BE POSSIBLE IF IS NOT A FABRIC DEFECT OR SOMETHING BECAUSE THERE IS STILL LOW MILLAGE IN MY SUV IS ONLY 67K AND I DONT DRIVE IT VERY FAR. BY THE WAY WHEN IT HAPPENED I WAS COMING BACK HOME FROM WORK SO YEAH IT WAS IN MOTION BUT IT OVER HEATED WHEN I WAS LESS THAN 3 MINUTES AWAY FROM HOME BUT I STOPPED ANYWAYS TO COOLED IT DOWN, ONCE I WAS HOME I PUT COOLANT AND THE NEXT DAY I TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC.

A YEAR AGO MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR FELT LIKE IT WAS MISFIRING WHEN I PUSHED THE GAS SO I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THAT THERE WAS COOLANT LEAKING INTO THE ENGINE. THEY FIXED THE HEAD GASKET AND REPLACED THE CYLINDERS AND IT RAN OKAY FOR A WHILE. FAST FORWARD TO LAST WEEK AND I WAS DRIVING DOWN A MAJOR HIGHWAY WITH MY FIVE YEAR OLD AND MY DOG IN THE CAR ON OUR WAY TO VACATION AND AN ERROR LIGHT CAME ON SAYING IT WAS A COOLANT EMERGENCY; AT THE SAME TIME THE CHECK ENGINE CAME ON IMMEDIATELY. SUDDENLY THE CAR BASICALLY WENT DEAD WHILE IN MOTION GOING 75 MILES PER HOUR. I HAD TO STEER IT OFF OF THE HIGHWAY AND TURN IT OFF; LEAVING US STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY FOR 4 HOURS. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THAT THERE IS COOLANT LEAKING INTO THE ENGINE AND THAT THE ENTIRE ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE APPARENTLY AFTER I HAD MY CAR WORKED ON THE FIRST TIME THERE WAS A TSB 19-2346 SAYING IF THIS PROBLEM OCCURS THEN THE ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE CAR IS 3 YEARS OLD AND HAS HAD MAJOR ENGINE FAILURE TWICE IN ONE YEAR- LEAVING MY FAMILY AND I IN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. THE MECHANIC AT THE DEALERSHIP SAID THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON THE ECOBOOST 2.0 ENGINE. A COMMON PROBLEM?!?!

THE CURRENT EPISODE IS THE SECOND IN 3 WEEKS, THE THIRD IN 6MOS. THE FIRST EPISODE, THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED. I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS A BATTERY ISSUE. OTHER THAN THIS, THE CAR PERFORMS FINE. *TR

I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT MY 2017 SILVER FORD EDGE, BECAUSE ON 5/8/2020 THE ENGINE ICON CAME UP ON MY DASH. SO I IMMEDIATELY STOPPED AT THE LOCAL JARETT FORD DEALERSHIP IN LAKELAND, FL, THINKING IT JUST NEEDED AN OIL CHANGE. AFTER I GOT THIS DONE, THE ENGINE ICON NEVER WENT AND I BEGAN TO EXPERIENCE MY VEHICLE SHAKING AND IT ALSO BEGAN HEATING UP. THIS HAPPENED IN 3 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS, WITH A RED WARNING MESSAGE ON MY DASH OF THE PRECAUTION I SHOULD TAKE TO AVOID OVERHEATING. EACH TIME I IMMEDIATELY STOPPED THE VEHICLE, WAITED FOR IT TO COOL DOWN, AND ADDED COOLANT TO THE RADIATOR COOLANT TANK. I WENT TO ELDER FORD OF TAMPA, FL, WHERE I BOUGHT MY VEHICLE AND THE SERVICE MANAGER, TERRY WAS COMPLETELY OBLIVIOUS AS TO WHO NHTSA IS AS WELL AS NO IDEA OF THE CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM. AS I WENT TO DRIVE AWAY MY VEHICLE, NOW IT DID NOT WANT TO START. FRANK TRIED TO SEE IF IT WAS A BATTERY ISSUE AND TRIED JUMP STARTING IT BUT IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE BATTERY. BY GOD'S MIRACLE MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY TURNED ON AND BY HIS MERCIES I WAS ABLE TO ARRIVE AT MY HOUSE. NOW, I CANNOT GET TO WORK AND ARE STUCK BECAUSE THEY SAY THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO BECAUSE MY WARRANTY IS OVER. I NEED TO KNOW IF YOU CAN HELP ME RESOLVE THIS MATTER THAT IS NOT MY FAULT.

NO LEAKING WAS EVIDENT, AND I NEVER GOT A WARNING ON MY DASH ABOUT TEMP OR COOLANT OR ANYTHING OF THE LIKE. TOOK IT TO FORD, WHERE I BOUGHT IT, AND AFTER EXPLAINING THE NHTSA CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM, TWO OF THE ASSOCIATES REACTED COMPLETELY OBLIVIOUS TO WHAT EVEN NHTSA STOOD FOR OR THE ISSUE, WHICH BTW SEEMS TO BE REPORTED OVER 10 TIMES ON THE NHTSA SITE. NEVERTHELESS, THEY SUGGESTED A NEW BATTERY, SPARK PLUGS/WIRES, AND THEN OFFERED TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE VEHICLE FOR A FEW DAYS CHARGING $125 FOR THE "DIAGNOSTIC", TO WHICH I REFUSED. THEY THEN GAVE IT A ONCE-OVER, AND FOUND COOLANT IN THE ENGINE, [MILKY OIL] WHICH INDICATES WATER SEEPING INTO THE ENGINE AND WOULD MOST LIKELY REQUIRE A CYLINDER HEAD AT THE VERY LEAST. THEY OFFERED TO GIVE ME A RENTAL, FOR WHICH THEY STATED "I WOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY" OUTSIDE OF THE $50 LIABILITY FEE, WHICH IS REFUNDABLE UPON FORD'S HQ/CREDIT TEAM GOT BACK TO THEM. IF THEY SAW THAT THIS WAS NOT A "RECALL" TYPE ITEM, I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE RENTAL AS WELL AS THE COST OF REPAIRS, WHICH BALL-PARKED AROUND $4500-$5000. CLEARLY, THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE, FOR A 3YR OLD CAR WITH UNDER 66K MILES TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM. FILING A COMPLAINT WITH NHTSA IN THE HOPES OF FINDING SOME SEMBLANCE OF JUSTICE. *TR

Summary

WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK WHEN I REALIZED MY BRAKE HAD DECOMPRESSED AND WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOORBOARD. GOT HOME AND MY HUSBAND NOTICED I HAD BRAKE FLUID ALL OVER UNDERNEATH MY VEHICLE. MY LEFT PASSENGER SIDE BRAKE LINE BURST WHILE DRIVING, 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 WOULD NOT USE MY WARRANTY TO REPLACE THEY SAID I HIT SOMETHING. ON (12/20/2019) DRIVING HOME FROM WORK THIS TIME THE FRONT PASSENGER BRAKE LINE SEEMS TO HAVE BURST. (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 WITH MY BRAKE LINES TWICE WITHIN THE PAST YEAR, AND ALL WHILE THE CAR WAS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD AND HAD ONLY 45,000 MILES. THIS IS A PROBLEM I BELIEVE FORD NEEDS TO ADDRESS, FROM WHAT I HAVE GATHERED ONLINE THIS IS AN ISSUE QUITE A FEW OTHERS HAVE FACED.

Summary

OUR 2017 FORD EDGE EXPERIENCED CATASTROPHIC TRANSMISSION FAILURE WHILE DRIVING - WITH ABSOLUTELY NO ADVANCE WARNING. THE TORQUE CONVERTER FELL APART AND THE VEHICLE WENT FROM DRIVING AT SPEED TO LOSING ALL MOMENTUM. IF WE HAD BEEN IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, SOMEONE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. FORD HAS IDENTIFIED THIS ISSUE WITH 2017 FORD EDGE VEHICLES. THERE WAS A RECALL IN 2017 FOR THIS PROBLEM FOR VEHICLES BUILT DURING THE TIME PERIOD THAT OURS WAS BUILT, BUT ACCORDING TO FORD, OURS WAS NOT INVOLVED IN THAT RECALL (NHSTA ID #18V390000). IN 2018, FORD ADDED A RECALL ON 25 ADDITIONAL VEHICLES BECAUSE THEY FOUND THAT MORE DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSIONS HAD BEEN INSTALLED THAN INITIALLY THOUGHT (NHSTA ID#17V427000). OURS WAS ALSO NOT ONE OF THOSE IDENTIFIED. OUR VEHICLE HAD 67,032 MILES WHEN THE TORQUE CONVERTER FAILED IN EXACTLY THE FASHION DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL. FORD REFUSED TO COVER THE REPAIR AS THE VEHICLE WAS PAST THE WARRANTY MILEAGE AND FORD WANTED CLOSE TO $5,000 TO REPAIR THE TRANSMISSION ON THIS TWO YEAR OLD VEHICLE. I AM CERTAIN THAT THIS ISSUE IS THE EXACT ISSUE THAT AFFECTED VEHICLES MANUFACTURED DURING THE SAME TIME FRAME WITH EXACTLY THE SAME TRANSMISSION. THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THE DEALERSHIP I WAS TOWED TO AGREED THAT I HAD THE EXACT SAME ISSUE AS WAS IDENTIFIED, BUT TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO TO ESCALATE THE CONCERNS I HAD. I AM CONVINCED THAT FORD IS DOWNPLAYING THE NUMBER OF VEHICLES AFFECTED AND AM CERTAIN THAT THIS WILL IMPACT MORE 2017 FORD EDGE VEHICLES. I HAVE REPEATEDLY REACHED OUT TO FORD AND THEY REFUSED TO EVEN OPEN A CASE IN TO MY CONCERNS. MY VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO TED BRITT FORD IN CHANTILLY VA (703-673-2300). THEY WERE OF ABSOLUTELY NO HELP IN ADDRESSING ANY OF MY CONCERNS, BUT SHOULD BE CONTACTED TO CONFIRM THAT THE ISSUE WAS JUST AS DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT CAN HAVE LIFE THREATENING CONSEQUENCES.

Summary

MILEAGE DOES NOT MEET THE FUEL ECONOMY AND ENVIRONMENT RANGE STATED ON THE WINDOW STICKER AND VEHICLE DESCRIPTION WHEN THE CAR WAS PURCHASED. MY CAR IS A 2017 FORD EDGE SEL AWD WITH THE TWIN-SCRL 2.0L ECOBOOST ENGINE AND AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. THE WINDOW STICKER STATES MPG TO BE 20 IN THE CITY AND 27 ON THE HIGHWAY AND 23 COMBINED CITY/HWY. CURRENTLY THE MPG SHOWN IN THE DASHBOARD IS 15 TO 16 COMBINED CITY/HWY WHICH SEEMS TO BE CONSISTENT FROM THE DAY I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. I HAVE MENTIONED THIS TO A FORD CAR DEALER REPRESENTATIVE AND THE RESPONSE IS THAT I HAVE AN AWD RATHER THAN FRONT WHEEL DRIVE. I ALSO HAVE A 2015 FORD EDGE WITH THE SAME ENGINE AND THE MPG FALLS WITHIN AND OFTEN EXCEEDS THE MPG STATED ON THE WINDOW STICKER. WHETHER OR NOT THE AWD GETS LESS MPG THAT A FWD GETS IS NOT MY COMPLAINT. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT THE ACTUAL MPG FOR MY AWD FORD EDGE SHOULD BE WITHIN THE RANGE OF WHAT THE WINDOW STICKER REPRESENTS, I.E. 20 CITY, 27 HIGHWAY, AND 23 OVERALL. I HAVE ACCUMULATED APPROXIMATELY 13,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE SO FAR WITH NO IMPROVEMENT IN MPG. I'M RETIRED AND DRIVE CONSERVATIVELY COASTING TO A STOP AS OFTEN AS I CAN AND ACCELERATING IN A VERY MODEST MANNER. I ALSO THE DRIVE THE 2015 FORD EDGE IN A SIMILAR MANNER BUT GET MPG THAT MEETS OR EXCEEDS THE STICKER STATED MPG. OTHERWISE THE 2017 FORD EDGE RUNS SMOOTHLY FROM WHAT I CAN TELL. CAN I GET SOME CONSIDERATION FOR THIS MISREPRESENTATION OF MPG FROM FORD?

TODAY, I NOTICED WAVY CRACKS THROUGHOUT MY REAR SUNROOF (AS I WALKED OUT TO MY STATIONARY PARKED CAR). THEY ARE ALL OVER THE PLACE. I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY TRAUMA TO THE ROOF. I GOOGLED THESE CRACKS AND THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS FROM FORD OWNERS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUES. SOME OWNERS HAVE REPLACED THEIR SUNROOFS 3 AND 4 TIMES OVER. IT IS OBVIOUS THE GLASS IS DEFECTIVE. THERE ARE MULTIPLE MENTIONS OF A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. THE CRACKS ARE A SAFETY CONCERN CONSIDERING THEY MAY CRACK FURTHER AND FALL INTO THE BACK SEAT ON PASSENGERS. I AM TAKING IT IN TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED IT TOMORROW.

Summary

THE REAR LIFT GATE LATCH ON OUR VEHICLE IS UNSAFE. THERE IS NO METHOD OF UNLOCKING / UNLATCHING THE LIFT GATE IF THE DRIVER IS INSIDE THE VEHICLE. OUR OWNER'S MANUAL CHAPTER ON MANUALLY OPERATED LIFT GATE OPERATION, PAGE 68, STATES THAT THE VEHICLE SHOULD BE EQUIPPED WITH TWO METHODS OF UNLATCHING. THE FIRST, A BUTTON 'LOCATED IN THE TOP OF THE LIFT GATE PULL CUP HANDLE ' AND THE SECOND A BUTTON ON THE REMOTE CONTROL KEY FOB THAT WILL UNLATCH THE GATE BY 'PRESSING THE (2X) BUTTON TWICE WITHIN THREE SECONDS '. OUR VEHICLE WAS DELIVERED NEW WITH A KEY FOB THAT DOES NOT HAVE THE 2X BUTTON. THE RESULT IS THAT THE LIFT GATE CAN ONLY BE UNLATCHED FROM OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE. IN AN EMERGENCY OR IF SOMEONE WERE TRAPPED IN THE VEHICLE, THERE IS NO LIFT GATE RELEASE BUTTON INSIDE THE CAR OR ON THE REMOTE AS STATED IN THE MANUAL.

Summary

I PURCHASED THIS CAR NEW WITH 10 MILES DRIVEN ONLY 14 MONTHS AGO. AT 3100 MILES IT LOST ALL ELECTRIC/ELECTRONIC/ENGINE POWER AS I WAS TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 40 MILES ON A CITY STREET WITH TRAFFIC! THE ENGINE LIGHT, SERVICE WRENCH LIGHT AND DINGING SOUNDS FLASHED; THE VEHICLE DECREASED IN SPEED, AND SHUT DOWN, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO STEER. FORTUNATELY, I WAS ABLE TO COAST OFF THE STREET INTO AN OPEN DRIVEWAY PRIOR TO ITS COMPLETE STOP OF THE VEHICLE FROM LOSS OF ALL POWER! THEN THERE WERE ABSOLUTELY NO POWER; IGNITION WOULD NOT START; NO LIGHTS, NO POWER OF ANY KIND. AFTER CALLING FORD SERVICE HOTLINE, AND ABOUT 2.5 HOURS WAITING FOR A TOW TRUCK IN THE HOT HEAT, I TRIED THE IGNITION - THE POWER WAS BACK. NEVERTHELESS, THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE PURCHASED. THE NEXT DAY THEIR DIAGNOSTICS AND TWO TEST DRIVES 'FOUND NO PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE'. I INFORMED THE SERVICE MANAGER AT WYATT JOHNSON FORD, JUST BECAUSE THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIND A PROBLEM, DOESN'T NEGATE THE FACT THAT SOMETHING IS DEFINITELY WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE TO STOP ABRUPTLY AS IT DID; LIKE A COMPUTER SHUTTING DOWN COMPLETELY. I DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE KNOWING THIS COULD HAPPEN AGAIN WITH DIRE CONSEQUENCES AND WANT TO REPORT THIS HAZARDOUS PROBLEM TO INFORM THE PUBLIC ACCORDINGLY! THERE ARE NO PICTURES TO ACCOMPANY THIS COMPLAINT. I AWAIT SOME INFORMATION ON THIS VEHICLE. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL PEOPLE WHO SHARED SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH FORD, NISSAN AND OTHER VEHICLES. I NEED TO KNOW WHAT WILL BE DONE TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM FURTHER. THANK YOU. *TR

UPON RETURNING FROM AN 8 DAY ABSENCE, I WENT TO START THE CAR AND IT WAS TOTALLY DEAD. TRIED TO JUMP IT AND WHILE INTERNAL ACCESSORY LIGHTS CAME ON IT WOULD NOT START. CALLED FORD AND THEY SENT A TOW TRUCK, WHO JUMPED IT WITH A HAND HELD LITHIUM BATTERY AND IT STARTED. HAD THE TOW TRUCK FOLLOW ME TO THE DEALER, WHERE WITH THE DRIVERS DOOR OPEN, THE ENTIRE CAR WENT DEAD AGAIN. THE DEALER WAS GOING TO REPLACE THE BATTERY BUT IT WOULD NOT FAIL ACCORDING TO THE NEW FORD BATTERY FAILURE CRITERIA AND I SUGGESTED SIMPLY PLACING IT BACK IN THE CAR AND I WOULD CONTINUE TO DRIVE IT LOCALLY. THE CAR SEEMS TO HAVE AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE, AS I HAVE NOTICED WHEN I GET INTO THE CAR, I READJUST MYSELF BY PLACING MY LEFT ARM ON THE ARM REST, DOOR AND MY RIGHT HAND ON THE CENTER CONSOLE AND CENTER MYSELF TO THE STEERING WHEEL. IN THAT PROCESS I HEAR THE DOOR LOCKS GO OFF, FROM PUSHING DOWN ON THE ARM REST, DOOR. MY TURN SIGNAL ALSO LOSES THE CLICKING SOUND FROM TIME TO TIME AND NOW I NOTICE THE TURN SIGNALS LIGHT UP WHEN I PLACE MY HAND IN THE DOOR HANDLE TO UNLOCK THE DRIVERS DOOR. I ENJOY DRIVING THE CAR AND WILL CONTINUE TO WORK WITH MY DEALER TO SEE WHAT CAN BE DONE. MY CONCERN IS BEING OUT OF TOWN OR LEAVING IT AT THE AIR PORT AND HAVING TO DEALING WITH A DEAD CAR. IT ACTED AS IF THE ENTIRE BATTERY HAD BEEN DISCHARGED, SIMPLY SITTING IN THE GARAGE.

I LEASED THIS 2017 FORD EDGE IN DECEMBER OF 2017. UPON DRIVING IT AT NIGHT I NOTICED A VERY DIM LIGHT ON LOW BEAM SHOWING THE ROAD. I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST ME BUT THEN I HAD MY HUSBAND DRIVE HE ALSO EXPERIENCED DIFFICULTY IN SEEING THE ROAD WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS WERE ON LOW BEAM. I TOOK IT TO MY DEALER AND THEY VERIFIED THAT THE CAR HAS VERY LOW VISIBILITY ON THE LOW BEAMS. THEREFORE THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. I CONTACTED THE FORD MOTOR CO AND THEY TOLD ME THAT CAR WAS PERFORMING AS DESIGNED. THAT IS MY ISSUE. I DRIVE A LOT AT NIGHT AND THIS IS VERY MUCH A SAFETY CONCERN. I HAVE OWNED 6 FORD PRODUCTS IN THE PAST AND HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS TYPE OF LIGHTING. I ALSO HAVE DONE MY RESEARCH THRU THE INTERNET AND HAVE NOTICED MANY MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE FORD EDGE LOW BEAM POOR PERFORMANCE. I BELIEVE THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD LOOK INTO THIS MATTER. IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. I REALLY HATED TO BRING THIS TO YOUR ATTENTION BUT I FEEL THERE IS A RISK TO FORD EDGE OWNERS. I WAS TOLD BY FORD THAT MAYBE I SHOULD LOOK INTO AFTERMARKET HEADLIGHTS BUT THAT SOUNDED ODD TO ME AS I HAVE PAID $ 40,000 FOR A CAR WITH POOR LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS. THIS IS A CONCERN THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED. FORD SAID THAT THE CAR IS PERFORMING AS DESIGNED. I DISAGREE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

AFTER COMPLETING A TURN AND ACCELERATING TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SLAMMED ON ITS BRAKES AND CUT OFF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. EVERY TIME I TRIED TO ACCELERATE, IT WOULD SLAM VIOLENTLY ON THE BRAKES AGAIN. AS THIS WAS HAPPENING, ALL DRIVER ASSISTANCE WARNING ICONS WERE INTERMITTENTLY FLASHING ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL I COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, ENGAGED PARK, SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE AND RESTARTED AND IT WAS WORKING FINE. I HAD THE DEALERSHIP LOOK AT IT AND THEY CLAIMED IT WAS A LOOSE ELECTRICAL CONNECTION THAT CAUSED IT. A FEW MONTHS LATER, THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. THIS IS EXTREMELY DISCONCERTING, AND IN MY OPINION EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. THANKFULLY IN EITHER INCIDENT MY TODDLER SON WAS NOT IN THE VEHICLE.

Summary

NHTSA SHOULD INVESTIGATE THE POTENTIAL FOR SUDDEN FAILURE OF THE BRAKE PEDAL BRACKET MOUNTED ON THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT BULKHEAD ON FORD VEHICLES THAT UTILIZE THE CJ5Z-7825557-AB MOULDING. THIS BRACKET FAILED ON MY 2017 FORD EDGE THAT WAS TWO WEEKS OLD AND HAD 500 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. COPIES OF THE EXPERT MECHANICS' REPORT AND THE REPORT FROM THE METALLURGIST, WHO WAS HIRED TO CONDUCT AN ANALYSIS AND THE FAILURE MODE OF THE BRAKE BRACKET REMOVED FROM MY VEHICLE AFTER THE ACCIDENT, ARE ATTACHED TO THIS COMPLAINT. DURING THE METALLURGICAL STUDY A BRAND NEW BRAKE BRACKET WAS ANALYZED AND WAS FOUND TO HAVE SIMILAR CRACKS. WHEN THE BRAKE BRACKET FRACTURED AND FAILED, THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT DOWN TO THE FLOOR AND I LOST THE ABILITY TO DECELERATE THE VEHICLE. NONE OF THE BRAKE SYSTEM WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. THE KEY-LESS IGNITION WOULD HAVE BEEN DANGEROUS TO USE BECAUSE IT WOULD HAVE SWITCHED OFF THE ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS TO THE AIR BAGS. MY FULL ATTENTION WAS FOCUSED ON STEERING THE VEHICLE WHILE ATTEMPTING TO CROSS MULTIPLE LANES OF TRAFFIC AND GET ONTO THE ENTRANCE RAMP TO REDUCE SPEED. SEE THE ATTACHED POLICE REPORT FOR A SUMMARY OF THE ACCIDENT. A FORD ENGINEERING REPRESENTATIVE HAS BEEN ACTIVE IN THE INVESTIGATION SINCE APRIL AND FAILED TO INCLUDE OTHER FORD AND SUPPLIER PERSONNEL IN THE JOINT REVIEW OF THE DEFECTIVE PART OR SUGGESTED ANY ADDITIONAL TESTING. WHEN I STARTED CONTACTING FORD IN OCTOBER, SUDDENLY THEY INSISTED THAT I HAD TO GIVE THEM THE DEFECTIVE PART, SO THEY COULD CONDUCT THEIR OWN TESTING AND REVIEW. I REFUSED TO HAND OVER THE PART AND OFFERED JOINT REVIEWS AND TESTING. FORD REFUSED MY OFFER AND BASICALLY SAID TO TAKE THEM TO COURT. CONTRARY TO WHAT FORD MAY CLAIM, THE DAMAGED VEHICLE AND DEFECTIVE PART ARE STILL OWNED BY ME, BUT BEING HELD BY MY INSURANCE COMPANY SINCE TESTING. *BF *TR

WE SAW A TOTAL OF THREE EDGE'S INCLUDING THE ONE WE PURCHASED AND THREE OF THE SIX VISORS HAD THE SAME ISSUE. IFS A DRIVERS SIDE VISOR CAME DOWN THE WAY OUR PASSENGER SIDE VISOR DID TODAY THERE IS A VERY GOOD CHANCE OF IT CREATING AN ACCIDENT. I AM FINALLY HAVING MINE REPAIRED TOMORROW AFTER WAITING TWO WEEKS. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH TWO SERVICE DEPARTMENTS WHO CHECKED SERVICE BULLETINS AND THEY SAID THERE HAD BEEN NO REPORTED ISSUES BUT OBVIOUSLY THERE IS. ALSO SPOKE WITH FORD MOTOR COMPANY CUSTOMER SERVICE AND GOT THE SAME STORY. I HAVE PICTURES BUT DUE TO BEING INCOMPETENT WITH USING A COMPUTER AND IPHONE I CANNOT GET THE PICTURES TO THIS DOCUMENT.
