SEATS
WHEN ACCELERATING, YOU CAN FEEL THE DRIVERS AND/OR PASSENGER FRONT SEAT SHIFT BACKWARD. WHEN STOPPING, YOU CAN FEEL THE DRIVERS AND/OR PASSENGER FRONT SEAT SHIFT FORWARD. I HAVE QUESTIONED THIS AT THE DEALERSHIP WITHOUT RESOLUTION. I CAN'T FIND ANYTHING THAT WILL ALLOW ME TO TIGHTEN DOWN THE SEATS. I DON'T FEEL THIS EXTRA PLAY IN THE SEAT IS SAFE IN THE EVENT OF A WRECK.

SERVICE BRAKES
MY 2011 FORD EDGE WITH BRAKES AT 1/2 USE HAS SUDDENLY BEGUN HAVING BREAKING ISSUES. PUSHING THE BRAKE USUALLY RESULTS IN IMMEDIATE ENGAGEMENT; NOW IT TRY'S TO ENGAGE BUT RELEASES AND GOES TO THE FLOOR; REQUIRES HEAVY HARD PRESSURE TAKING PEDAL COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR TO STOP VEHICLE. HAS BEEN ONE OR TWO INSTANCES OF INTERMITTENT OCCURRENCES; BUT SEEMS TO BE PERSISTENT NOW. NHTSA NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING FROM THE UNENDING LIST OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. NOT ANY SPECIFIC DRIVING CONDITION CREATING THE ISSUE TO OCCUR. THIS AM I WAS ON AN OPEN HIGHWAY WITH NO STOPPING/ STARTING DRIVING; THIS AFTERNOON I WAS IN TOWN.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY ROAD (APPROX 40 MPH) THE REAR WINDOW MADE A POPPING SOUND AND SHATTERED. A HOLE EMERGED ON THE DRIVER SIDE. IT LOOKS LIKE THE WINDOW PUSHED OUT AND THERE IS NO EVIDENCE THAT ANYTHING HIT THE WINDOW.

SERVICE BRAKES
DRIVING ON CITY STREETS 35-45MPH WHEN I HAD TO APPLY THE BRAKE. BRAKES FELT SPONGEY (NO ANTI LOCK FEEL) AND THE PEDAL WENT ALMOST TO THE FLOOR. THIS ORIGINALLY OCCURRED MID FEBRUARY 2019, BUT CORRECTED ITSELF AFTER LETTING THE CAR SIT OVERNIGHT. IT OCCURRED AGAIN LATE MARCH 2019 AND THIS TIME THE CONDITION PERSISTED AND MADE ME FEEL THAT THE BRAKES COULD ULTIMATELY FAIL. I CHECKED ONLINE AND FOUND MULTIPLE MENTIONS OF THIS ISSUE WITH FORD EDGES, BUT NO FORMAL RECALL - WHICH THE DEALERSHIP LATER VERIFIED. MY VEHICLE IS A 2011 WITH 135,000 MILES. THE VEHICLE HAS HAD ALL OF ITS REQUIRED/RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE AND IS IN GOOD CONDITION OTHERWISE. THE DIAGNOSIS WAS AS FOLLOWS - "FOUND THE MASTER WITH LEAK AND HCU/ABS SEEPING AND DUMP VALVE, E ON FOUND BRAKES BYPASSING". THE DEALER REPLACED THE CONTROL AND MODULE AND ALSO RECOMMENDED THAT I REPLACE THE MASTER CYLINDER, WHICH I AGREED TO ALLOW. EXPENSIVE REPAIR - JUST A BIT PAST $1900 WITH PARTS AND LABOR

SERVICE BRAKES
WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES THE BRAKE PEDAL SINKS TO THE FLOOR AND IS HESITANT TO STOP COMPLETELY. I HAVE HAD THE MASTER CYLINDER CHANGED, THE ABS PUMP HAS BEEN REPLACED AND THE VEHICLE HAD THE BRAKE BOOSTER REPLACED AROUND 1 YEAR AGO DUE TO A FORD RECALL. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR 3 WEEKS NOW AND THE MECHANIC CANNOT SEEM TO FIX THIS ISSUE. THIS SEEMS TO BE A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKE SYSTEM FOR THIS VEHICLE AND IS DANGEROUS TO THE OCCUPANTS OF THE VEHICLE AND OTHERS IN THE SURROUNDING AREAS. THIS ISSUE HAS THE POTENTIAL FOR RANDOM BRAKE LOSS WHICH CAN OCCUR IN INJURY OR DEATH.

SLOWING DOWN IN CITY TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN AT LOW SPEED AND PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. I WAS ABLE TO SWERVE TO AVOID HITTING CURB. HAD TO PUMP BRAKES AND PUSH ALMOST TO FLOOR TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THERE IS FLUID IN THE MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER AND NO LEAKS. BRAKE BOOSTER IS FUNCTIONAL AND BRAKES HAVE PLENTY OF PAD. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I WILL BE CONTACTING FORD DEALER IN TWO DAYS TO DISCUSS SITUATION.

I HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE ABS SENSOR. WHEN YOU HIT A BIG BUMP OR WHEN YOU BRAKE ON ICE THE BRAKES SHUTTER & THE BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR UNABLE TO STOP. USUALLY I CAN PUMP THEM & I GET BRAKES BACK. NOW I CAN'T PUMP THEM UP, I CALL IT A SOFT BRAKE, I CAN NOT STOP FAST IF A VEHICLE STOPS FAST IN FRONT OF ME. I WAS TOLD FROM MY MECHANIC THAT IT NEEDS ABS HCU UNIT & MASTER CYLINDER CHANGED. HE ALSO TOLD ME THAT THEY FREQUENTLY HAVE CALLS FROM FORD OWNERS THAT HAVE EDGE & FUSION WITH THE SAME ISSUE OF LOOSING THEIR BRAKES, IN FACT THEY TAKE BETS ON HOW MANY CALLS THEY WILL GET ON A SNOW DAY OR RAINY DAY. I CAN'T BELIEVE THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL ON THIS, IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.

SEAT BELTS
PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BELT LOCKS IN PLACE WHILE IN MOTION REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE BRAKE IS PRESSED OR NOT. STAYS LOCKED IN PLACE DURING LONG ROAD TRIPS UNTIL SEAT BELT IS DISCONNECTED AND RECONNECTED. THIS HAPPENS FREQUENTLY (WHEN I HAVE A PASSENGER) EVER SINCE I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE 5 YEARS AGO. I AM NOT SURE IF THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE??

DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT APPEARS ON THE DASH EVEN WHEN THE DOOR IS CLOSED. THERE IS NO WAY TO CLEAR THE ALERT/ALARM AND IT BECOMES VERY HAZARDOUS WHEN DRIVING WHILE IT IS STILL DARK AND THE DOME LIGHTS ARE ON SIGNALING THE DOOR IS OPEN. THIS WARNING WILL COME ON AT ANY TIME- WHILE STATIONARY IN MY DRIVEWAY, WHILE DRIVING, ETC. THERE IS NO SPECIFIC TIME IT HAPPENS.

BACKED INTO GARAGE AND BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO FLOOR WHEN DEPRESSED WITH NO WARNING. BROKE SEVERAL 2 X 4'S AND PUSHED THE WALL OUT ONE FOOT. NEW BRIGHTON FORD DEALER HAD DETERMINED ITS A BAD ABS MODULE AND HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT (HCU). ITS BEEN TWO MONTHS WITHOUT THE USE OF THE VEHICLE AS FORD CAN NOT GET A NEW HCU ANYWHERE IN THE USA. THEY SAY THE PART HAS NO DATE TO WHEN THEY WILL GET THE PART. FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE JUST SAYS THEY HAVE ESCALATED THE PART AVAILABILITY PART AND SAID TO KEEP CHECKING IN WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER. SERVICE MANAGER DOES NOT RETURN MESSAGES LEFT ON HIS PHONE. NO ONE AT FORD CAN TELL ME IF OR WHEN THE PART WILL ARRIVE AFTER WE PAID 1/2 DOWN TO ORDER THE PART. THEN THEY SENT US HOME WITH A CAR WITH DEFECTIVE BRAKES AS THEY DID NOT WANT IT THERE INDEFINITELY..

MY WIFE'S 2011 FORD EDGE BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO FLOOR WHEN TRYING TO STOP. PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT AND BRAKES GO BACK TO WORKING NORMAL. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES WITH MY WIFE DRIVING AND TWICE WHILE I WAS DRIVING. BRAKE BOOSTER WAS ALREADY REPLACED UNDER RECALL. I DON'T THINK THE BOOSTER IS BAD AGAIN.I THINK IT IS A ABS ISSUE.THE BRAKE PADS ARE IN GOOD SHAPE AND THE RESERVOIR IS FULL. I HAVE READ MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE. FORD NEEDS TO TAK RESPONSIBILITY AND FIX THIS BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURED OR KILLED.

SERVICE BRAKES
DURING THE COURSE OF OWNERSHIP OF A 2011 FORD EDGE, A SEVER BREAKING ISSUE EMERGED WITH NO WARNING OR ALERTS OF ANY KIND. THE MAIN ISSUE ARISES WHEN A DRIVER DOWN PRESSES THE BRAKE PEDAL DURING DRIVING CONDITIONS ST ANY SPEED. THE DRIVER IS MET WITH A SOFT OR SPONGY BRAKE THAT RETARDS THE BRAKING ACTION WHICH CAN LEAD TO SEVERE INJURY. THE ISSUE AROSE AND WAS TAKEN TO A DEALERSHIP WHO CANNOT READILY SOLVE THE ISSUE AND INSTEAD WOULD RECOMMEND THAT THE OWNER LEARN OR ACCCEPT THE ISSUE RATHER THAN RESOLVE IT. DEALERSHIP PERFORMED SEVERAL MAINTENANCE ACTIONS INCLUDING A PRESCRIBED PRESSURE BLEED. AFTERWARDS, IT WAS RECOMMENDED TO CHANGE SEVERAL PARTS THAT NEVER SOLVED THE ISSUE. THE DEALER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE 2011 FORD EDGE IS NOTORIOUS FOR HAVING WEAK OR SPONGY BRAKES BUT GIVES NO SOLUTION. THIS IS A SEVERE RISK TO THE DRIVER OF A 2011 FORD EDGE AND TO THOSE DRIVING AROUND THE VEHICLE AT THE SAME TIME.

BRAKE FAILURE WITH PEDAL GOING ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP. FORD IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND WILL NOT WARRANTY THE REPAIR OF THE HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT (HCU) AND COST $1,000 TO REPLACE. WHY HASN'T THE NHTSA DONE SOMETHING?

THE AUTO DOOR LOCKS WILL NOT WORK PROPERLY. MANY TIMES THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK AUTOMATICALLY AND THE DRIVER DOOR AJAR LIGHT WILL COME ON. THE INSIDE LIGHTS STAY ON. THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY CONCERN DUE TO THE FACT THAT NONE OF THE DOORS WILL LOCK AND STAY LOCKED WITH CHILDREN IN THE BACK SEAT.
