ENGINE
THE WATER PUMP IS LOCATED INSIDE THE ENGINE AND WHEN A SIMPLE $160 PART FAILED, IT CIRCULATED ANTI-FREEZE THROUGH THE ENGINE NECESSITATING A COMPLETE ENGINE REPLACEMENT. THIS HAPPENED WITHIN THE SPAN OF 5 MINUTES WITH THE FIRST SYMPTOM THE HEAT WENT OFF INSIDE THE CABIN. NO ENGINE LIGHTS CAME ON, THE HEAT CAME BACK ON AND WENT OFF AGAIN, STILL NO INDICATION OF ENGINE OR TROUBLE LIGHTS GOING ON. THEN MAJOR ENGINE FAILURE, INSTANTLY THE OIL LIGHT WENT ON AND WITHIN SECONDS THE MOTOR OVERHEATED. THERE WAS A TERRIBLE NOISE AS I FOUND MY WAY TO A SAFE SPOT TO STOP THE CAR. THIS IS THE MOST BASIC KIND OF IRRESPONSIBILITY IN CREATING AN EXPENSIVE PRODUCT LIKE A CAR. AMERICAN COMPANIES OWE IT TO THE PUBLIC NOT TO FOIST A HUGE DESIGN DEFECT ON AN UNSUSPECTING PUBLIC AND SHOULD WILLINGLY PAY 100% OF ANY AND ALL CLAIMS FOR THIS ISSUE. *TR

POWER TRAIN
I BOUGHT A CERTIFIED PRE OWNED 2008 EDGE IN JUNE 2013. I FIRST EXPERIENCED THE HARD JERKING PROBABLY EARLY 2014 OR MAYBE IN THE WINTER OF 2013. IT HAD TROUBLE SHIFTING UP WHEN CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP BUT THEY COULDN'T REPRODUCE IT. THEY FIXED A TRANSMISSION LEAK AND UPDATED SOME SOFTWARE ON TWO SEPARATE VISITS. BOTH TIMES THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY FOR A FEW DAYS AND THEN CAME BACK AGAIN. IT WAS NOT SERIOUS ENOUGH THEN. THIS YEAR IT OCCURS MORE OFTEN (USUALLY IN THE STOP AND GO TRAFFIC) AND THERE IS ALSO ABRUPT JERK WHEN THE CAR SHIFTS UP FROM 10-20 MPH OR FROM 20-30 MPH. THE POWERTRAIN MALFUNCTION SYMBOL CAME ON TODAY. BUT AFTER I LET THE CAR SIT FOR HALF AN HOUR AND RESTARTED IT, THE SYMBOL WAS GONE. I'M TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP SOON AND HOPE THEY CAN DO SOMETHING. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO ONLY OCCUR IN COLD WEATHER. THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS ISSUE ONLINE. IT COULD BE DANGEROUS IF IT HAPPENS AT AN INTERSECTION OR ON A HIGHWAY. FORD SHOULD RECALL THESE CARS BECAUSE THEY ARE UNSAFE TO DRIVE. *TR

POWER TRAIN, ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I JUST BEEN TOLD BY KOONS THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY 1,300 TO FIX A THROTTLE ISSUE ON MY 2008 FORD EDGE, WHICH I PURCHASED AS A USED VEHICLE LABOR DAY SPECIAL 2014. THE CAR STALLS, STOPS, ACCELERATION IS AFFECTED. FORD KNOWS THE THROTTLES ARE FAULTY AND INSTEAD OF RECALLING, THEY DID A CUSTOMER SATISFACTION AND AGREED TO REPAIR AFFECTED EDGE FROM 2009-2014. THIS IS BOGUS I HAVE 2008, WHICH THAT HAS THIS ISSUE. I REFUSE TO PAY THIS AND DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO INVEST IN JUNK. KOONS TOLD ME BECAUSE OF MY HESITATION I WAS INVESTIGATING IN A CAR THAT HAS VALUED EQUITY & WOULD OFFER GREAT TRADE. THEY KNEW..THEY YET PUT ME IN ANOTHER DANGEROUS CAR. I HAD ACCIDENT AS WELL, DRIVING CA LOST SPEED & STALLED WHILE CROSSING OVER IN PARKING LOT. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
TOOK MY VEHICLE IN EARLY FOR SERVICE AT SUNRISE BECAUSE WAS CONCERNED ABOUT LOUD SCREECHING NOISE ON BRAKES AND ERRATIC BEHAVIOR OF VEHICLE -SURGING. WHEN DRIVING. WHEN THE SERVICE TECH (TROY) OPENED THE HOOD HE ASKED EM TO GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND STAND BACK, AS THE TOP OF THE BATTERY WAS SPATTERED WITH BLACK OIL LOOKING MATERIAL AND APPARENTLY HE AND ANOTHER TECHNICIAN WERE CONCERNED IT MIGHT RUPTURE OR EXPLODE. THEY ASKED EM TO GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE, GIVE THEM THE KEYS AND THAT THEY WOULD CHECK THE VEHICLE AND ASKED ME TO WAIT. ABOUT 90 MINUTES LATER THEY CAME OUT AND SAID ALL WAS FINE, NOTHING WRONG WITH BATTERY OR BRAKES. I LEFT AND DROVE VEHICLE HOME AND SAME PROBLEMS WERE OCCURRING, I RETURNED AND AFTER CALLING AND SAYING SAME THINGS WERE OCCURRING. I HAD HPED TO SPEAK TO [XXX], WHO WAS AN AMAZING SERVICE SUPERVISOR, BUT HE WAS NOT THERE AND ANOTHER MAN WHO WAS RUDE CLAIMED THE BATTERY WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY BUT THAT IT WAS NORMAL TO HAVE OILY SLUDGE ON THE BATTERY . HE SAID IT WAS "NORMAL, BECAUSE IT WAS JUST SWEATING". HE REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING..SAID THE BRAKES NEEDED TO BE AT 3 BEFORE FORD WOULD REPLACE THEM. I ASKED THAT HE CONTACT FORD CORPORATE AND INQUIRE. HE SAID, "NO HE WOULD NOT" THE BATTERY I SHOULD ADD SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN REPEATEDLY REPLACED. I HAVE LIMITED DRIVING THE VEHICLE, EXCEPT FOR SHORT LOCAL TRIPS, AND TONIGHT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AND AAA CLAIMED THE BATTERY WAS DEFECTIVE AND CLEARLY DEAD. IT IS MOST DISTURBING WHEN FORD MISREPRESENTS THEIR WARRANTY AND REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE DEFECTS THAT HAVE BEEN PUBLISHED IN THEIR WON ALERTS. SERIOUSLY DANGEROUS! THERE ARE NUMEROUS POSTINGS OF OTHER FORD EDGE OWNERS HAVING THESE PROBLEMS. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THEIR QUESTIONABLE PROTOCOLS ON DANGERS THAT ARE KNOWN WITH THEIR VEHICLES.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STRUCTURE:BODY, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE DRIVER DOOR AJAR WARNING IS ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH AND THE DOOM LIGHTS WONT TURN OFF. I HAVE FOUND OUT THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH FORDS WHERE THE POORLY DESIGNED DOOR LATCH BINDS UP. I HAD THIS SAME ISSUE WITH MY 2002 EXPLORER AND NOW WITH MY 2008 EDGE. IT BECOMES A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AT NIGHT SINCE THE DOME LIGHTS WILL NOT TURN OFF SO IT IS HARD TO SEE OUTSIDE AND COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. FROM WHAT I CAN TELL I HAVE BEEN LUCKY TO GET THIS FAR BEFORE THIS ISSUE HAS SURFACED SINCE I HAVE READ THAT FORD CARS 2 TO 3 YEARS OLD SEEM TO HAVE THIS VERY SAME ISSUE. *JS

SERVICE BRAKES
I WAS DRIVING AND THE BRAKES ARE STIFF AND I COULD NOT STOP. I HAVE NEARLY WRECKED 3 TIMES NOW APPARENTLY DUE TO A FAULTY BRAKE BOOSTER. THIS SEEMS TO BE A KNOWN PROBLEM BUT I DON'T KNOW WHY ONLY THE 2010 TO 2013 MODELS HAVE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THE BRAKE BOOSTERS. THIS IS RIDICULOUS TO NOT HAVE ANY WARNING MY BRAKES ARE OUT. ESPECIALLY SINCE FORD IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE. *TR
