SERVICE BRAKES
THE BRAKE PEDAL NEEDS TO BE PUSHED TO THE FLOOR TO STOP THE CAR. THE CAR HAS BEEN COMPLETELY CHECKED OUT AND EVERYTHING IS FINE EXCEPT THIS ISSUE. COME TO FIND OUT THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON THE VACUUM BRAKE BOOSTER WHICH IS THE ISSUE WITH MY FORD EDGE, BUT MINE ISN'T COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. ITS' THE SAME ISSUE AND WILL COST $894.89 TO FIX, BUT FORD HAS WIPED THEIR HANDS OF IT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND THE CAR CANNOT BE DRIVEN AS IT IS. FORD WON'T TELL ME WHY MY VIN NUMBER ISN'T COVERED. THE BRAKE PEDAL ISSUE HAPPENS 100% OF THE TIME WHEN YOU ARE ATTEMPTING TO STOP THE VEHICLE.

ENGINE
WATER PUMP BROKE WHILE ON HIGHWAY. THERE WERE NO SIGNS OF FAILURE LEADING UP TO IT. CAR GAVE A WARNING OF LOW OIL PRESSURE, THEN MAYBE 20 SECONDS LATER THE ENGINE COOLANT OVER TEMPERATURE WARNING COMES ON. CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING AT THIS POINT, GOT TO SHOULDER OF HIGHWAY AND AT THIS POINT, POWER STEERING AND BRAKES WERE OUT. ENGINE WAS SMOKING. HAD IT TOWED BACK TO DEALERSHIP 89 MILES AWAY TO LEARN THE WATER PUMP BROKE CAUSING CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE AND DAMAGE. ESTIMATE TO REBUILD ENGINE WAS $ 7352.00 PLUS TAX. THERE WAS NO WARNING OR POSSIBLE WAY TO CHECK THE WATER PUMP BEFORE HAND. I PURCHASED THE CAR IN 2011 AND HAD IT PAID OFF A COUPLE YEARS AGO. NOW ALL EQUITY IN THE CAR IS COMPLETELY GONE AS THE CAR WAS ONLY WORTH 6-8K (ACCORDING TO TRUECAR) AND IT WOULD COST MORE TO FIX IT THAN TO PURCHASE A NEW ONE. A ENGINE SWAP WAS ESTIMATED AT AROUND $4,000 WITH LABOR INCLUDED AS WELL. AFTER THIS HAPPENED I FIND OUT I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE THIS IS HAPPENING TO, AND THAT IT'S A MAJOR ISSUE THAT FORD HAS APPARENTLY TRIED TO KEEP QUIET. I HOPE THIS IS AN ADDITIONAL PIECE OF AMMUNITION TO USE IN THE CASE AGAINST FORD.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE "DOOR AJAR" INDICATOR CONTINUES TO BE AN ONGOING PROBLEM. I HAVE HAD IT LOOKED AT NUMEROUS TIMES AT THE DEALER, AND THEY'VE ONLY "CLEANED" THE SENSOR, AND LET ME KNOW IT'S NOT A RECALL ITEM. THIS IS A DEFINITE SAFETY CONCERN IN THAT THE INTERIOR LIGHT STAYS ON CONSTANTLY, AND MAKE IT VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE OR HAVE GOOD VISIBILITY WHEN BACKING UP. NUMEROUS TIMES I HAVE BEEN IN A PARKING LOT AT NIGHT, THE INTERIOR LIGHT IS ON (DUE TO THE DOOR AJAR FALSE INDICATOR) AND YOU CAN BARELY SEE OUT THE WINDOWS. I CONTINUE BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT AND REALIZE THERE IS A PEDESTRIAN I JUST COULDN'T SEE DUE TO THE INTERIOR LIGHT STAYING ON. I HAVE ALSO HAD CLOSE CALLS WITH PEDESTRIANS ON A SIDEWALK/WALKING BY AS I AM BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AT NIGHT. THE LIGHT ALSO CONTINUES TO STAY ON EVEN AFTER I'VE BACKED UP AND HAVE NOW PUT THE CAR IN GEAR AND AM MOVING FORWARD (DRIVING). IT SEEMS TO GO OUT AT ABOUT 10-15 MPH. BUT EVEN AT THAT SPEED WITH AN INTERIOR LIGHT ON, AND IT IS NOT SAFE. I CAN'T BELIEVE IT HASN'T BEEN RECALLED YET. THERE'S NO WAY FORD CAN CLAIM THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE ALSO GOOGLED THIS ISSUE AND IN ADDITION TO THIS NHTSA WEBSITE, THERE ARE SO MANY COMPLAINT SITES AND BLOGS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE. IT NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED AND LOOKED INTO FURTHER FOR A RECALL. NOT ACCEPTABLE, FORD!!!

SERVICE BRAKES
THIS COMPLAINT DEALS WITH A 2011 FORD EDGE IN WHICH THE VEHICLE'S BRAKES BEGAN TO FAIL CONSIDERABLY AT APPROXIMATELY 172,000 MILES. AFTER ALMOST $1000 IN BRAKE REPAIRS IT WAS FINALLY DETERMINED THAT THE VEHICLE'S BRAKE BOOSTER HAD FAILED. THIS DEFECT IS KNOWN TO THE MANUFACTURER WHO ISSUED CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM 13N02 WHICH ALLOWED REPLACEMENT OF THE DEFECTIVE PRODUCT FOR VEHICLES WITH UP TO 150,000 MILES OR THROUGH JANUARY 15, 2015. THIS PROBLEM PRESENTS A DANGEROUS SITUATION, PARTICULARLY WHEN BACKING THE VEHICLE WHEN THE PROBLEM IS MORE PROMINENT. FORD DEALERSHIP WAS CONTACTED WITH REGARDS TO THE COMPLAINT AND STATED THAT DUE TO THE MILEAGE THAT THE REPAIR WOULD NOT BE COVERED BY THE 13N02 REPAIR OR OTHER PROGRAMS. THE REPAIR COST IS QUOTED BY FORD AT APPROXIMATELY $710.37

SERVICE BRAKES
ON 9/11/17 MY WIFE WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT WHILE DRIVING HER 2011 FORD EDGE LIMITED WITH APPROXIMATELY 80,000 MILES. A VAN HAD CUT HER OFF DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC ON HYW. 635 IN FARMERS BRANCH, TX AND SHE ENDED UP REAR ENDING IT. I ASKED MY WIFE WHAT HAPPENED WHEN I ARRIVED AT THE HOSPITAL AND THE TOLD ME THAT WHEN SHE WENT FOR THE BRAKE PEDAL IT WENT STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR AND SHE HEARD A "SUCKING" SOUND BUT THE CAR DID NOT STOP. OUR INSURANCE COMPANY AT THE TIME (USAA) NEVER INVESTIGATED THE BRAKES AND TOTALED OUT THE CAR. I SEARCHED GOOGLE AND HAVE FOUND SIMILAR SITUATIONS INVOLVING FORD EDGE CROSSOVERS BUT FORD ONLY HAS A TSB FOR THIS ISSUE AND NOT A RECALL. I JUST RECENTLY LEARNED ABOUT THIS PROCESS AND HOPE IT WILL BE INVESTIGATED SO THAT LIVES CAN BE SAVED. LUCKILY MY WIFE ONLY SUSTAINED MINOR INJURIES FROM THE AIRBAG AND OUR CHILDREN WERE STILL WITH OUR BABYSITTER.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), STEERING
THE AWS LIGHT STAYS ON AND SAYS THE DRIVER STABILITY CONTROLS ARE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. TOOK IT TO A FORD DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICING, CHARGED 800 PLUS AND THE ISSUE IS STILL OCCURRING. THEY CLAIM IT'S A SENSOR ISSUE BUT IT'S STILL HAPPENING! IF I TURN LEFT OR RIGHT THE WARNING LIGHT COMES ON, IF IT'S WET OR DRY THE LIGHT COMES ON AND WHEN BREAKING THE SUV SLIDES. WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER FORD AGAIN. NOT SURE OF THE ACTUAL DATE THE ISSUE STARTED HAPPENING.

THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE POWER SUN ROOF OPENED AND FAILED TO CLOSE. THE SUN ROOF REMAINED CONTINUOUSLY IN THE OPEN POSITION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENTIRE SUN ROOF WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. I LOOKED AT THE MOULDING AROUND THE WINDOW FROM THE TOP- AND THAT IS THE ONLY PART THAT IS SNAGGING THE WINDOW FROM CLOSING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THE ENTIRE WINDOW NEEDED TO BE REPLACED $810 VS. JUST ORDERING THE 2 MOULDINGS ON THE TOP OF THE CAR.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, SUSPENSION
FIRST OF ALL THE FIRST PROBLEM I ENCOUNTERED WITH MY VEHICLE WAS THE PASSENGER WHEEL BARRING WAS DEFECTED AND STARTED MAKING A BAD NOISE SO TOOK IT TO THE SHOP AND THE MECHANIC SAID LUCKY I DID BECAUSE IS WAS ABOUT TO BREAK AND CAUSE MY WHEEL TO COME OFF GOING DOWN THE ROAD. AFTER THAT I NOTICED THAT MY ENGINE WOULD RUN HOT IF I SAT STILL IN THE PARKING LOT JUST RUNNING EVEN WITH THE AC OFF. I HAD NO WARNING THAT ANYTHING WAS WRONG. I TURNED MY CAR OFF AND IT DIDN'T SEEM TO DO IT ANYMORE UNTIL WE STARTED GETTING THIS REALLY HOT WEATHER THIS MAY, ME AND MY FAMILY WAS GOING IN TO TOWN TO GRAB A BITE TO EAT WHEN (WITHOUT ANY WARNING) MY CAR STARTS SPUTTERING AS IF I PUT BAD GAS IN IT. MY HUSBAND INSTRUCTED ME TO PULL OVER AND TAKE A LOOK AND LOW AND BEHOLD MY CAR HAS BEEN RUNNING HOT JUST AFTER DRIVING ONLY 10 MINUTES. HE PULLED THE DIPSTICK AND OIL IS MILKY AND OIL WAS ALL IN THE WATER RESIVOUR. MY CAR HAD OVER HEATED WITHOUT ANY WARNING THAT ANYTHING WAS WRONG AND BLOWN HEAT GASKET AND CRACKED HEADS. MY ENGINE SHOT. WE TOOK IT TO THE SHOP WHERE I HAD TO PURCHASE A NEW ENGINE AND AFTER THE MECHANIC RAN A DIAGNOSTICS TEST ON MY CAR HE SAID THAT THE FAN CONTROL MODULE WAS FAULTY WHICH DID NOT ALLOW MY COOLING FANS TO COME ON AT ALL AND MY SYSTEM NEVER ALERTED ME EITHER. WE REPLACED COOLING FANS ALONG WITH MODULE. EVERYTHING SEEMS FINE AFTER 2,000 DOLLARS LATER. FYI NEVER RELY ON YOUR INFORMATION SCREEN TO TELL YOU IF YOUR RUNNING HOT, GO TO SETTINGS AND KEEP YOUR SCREEN ON THE TEMP GAUGE AT ALL TIMES SO YOU WILL KNOW FOR YOURSELF HOW COOL YOUR ENGINE IS RUNNING. I WOULD BE NICE AFTER ALL THE COMPLAINTS FORD HAS RECEIVED ABOUT THESE PIECE OF CRAP COOLING FANS THAT THEY WILL JUST SUCK IT UP AND DO THE RECALL. WE ARE HARD WORKING AMERICANS AND DONT DESERVE THIS CRAP. WE SUPPORT FORD AN AMERICAN CAR MANUFACTURER AND EXPECT THE SAME RESPECT!!
