FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MY DAUGHTER LEFT FOR WORK AT 6 IN THE MORNING, IT WAS MINUS 25/30 WITH THE WIND CHILL. SHE WENT TO MAKE A LEFT TURN ON TO A MAIN STATE TRUCK ROUTE AND THE CAR STARTED TO SHAKE AND SHUTTER AND LOST ALL POWER. THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON TOO. AFTER THE CAR QUIT COMPLETELY IT THEN WAS RESTARTED. IT CONTINUED TO ACT UP. A FRIEND CHECKED IT AND HIS COMPUTER WAS SHOWING CODES FOR THE THROTTLE BODY AND SENSORS. IT IS NOW AT THE DEALERSHIP. I CALLED FORD AND WAS TOLD THERE IS NO RECALL OR EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THE ISSUE. I WAS TOLD THEY WOULD NOTE MY COMPLAINT AND IF IT IS EVER RECALLED OR OK'D FOR AND EXTENDED WARRANTY THEN THEY WOULD LET US KNOW AND SHE COULD BE REIMBURSED. WE LIVE OFF 2 STATE TRUCK ROUTES THAT ARE HEAVILY TRAVELED, BUT AS SHE IS A YOUNG FEMALE AT DARK WITH A VEHICLE THAT IS DARK AND THE ROAD IS ICY AND ITS COLD ENOUGH THAT SCHOOLS AND PLACES HAVE SHUT DOWN AND PEOPLE HAVE DIED FROM EXPOSURE IN THIS , I WILL NOT LOSE A CHILD BECAUSE FORD IS TO LAZY TO PULL THEIR HEAD OUTTA THEIR KEISTER AND START THINKING OLD SCHOOL AGAIN AND CONSIDER THEIR CUSTOMERS. FIX THE ISSUE! DON'T SWEEP IT UNDER THE RUG BECAUSE ITS EASIER THAN FACING YOUR "NEW STYLE" VEHICLES HAVE ISSUES. I HAVE NO USE FOR FORD. MY EXPEDITION, MY AUNTS EXPEDITION AND HER DAUGHTERS ESCAPE ALL DID THIS EXACT SAME THING. AT THIS MOMENT WE ARE WAITING TO HEAR FROM THE DEALERSHIP AS TO WHAT IS GOING ON. IF THIS SITE ALLOWS ME TO UPDATE I WILL. SHE WAS GOING APPROXIMATLY 30 MPH AND AS SHE PRESSED ON THE GAS PEDDLE IT SLOWLY DIED.

POWER TRAIN
VEHICLE WITH 84K MILES NOTICED LEAKING OIL/LUBRICANT. DEALER DISCOVERED FAILING POWER TAKEOFF TRANSFER ASSEMBLY. DEALER ALSO INFORMED US THAT WHEN THE LUBRICANT IS LOST TO A CERTAIN POINT THE UNIT WILL FAIL CATASTROPHICALLY AND THE POWER TRAIN WILL SEIZE CAUSING ALL FOUR WHEELS TO LOCK UP. THIS CONSTITUTES A MAJOR ON ROAD SAFETY ISSUE. FURTHERMORE, WE HAVE BEEN INFORMED AND HAVE DISCOVERED IN ONLINE MEDIA THAT THIS ISSUE BEEN REPORTED WITH CONSIDERABLE FREQUENCY. YET, NO ACTION IS BEING TAKEN ON THE PART OF FORD MOTOR COMPANY. FORTUNATELY, IN THIS CASE IT WAS DISCOVERED BEFORE CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OCCURRED. THANK YOU.

TAKATA RECALL THIS IS THE SECOND TIME MY 2013 FORD EDGE LIMITED HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM, TWO YEARS AGO WE HAD TO SPEND $650 ON GETTING OUR DRIVER SIDE DOOR LATCH NOW OUR PASSENGER DOOR LATCH IS DOING THE SAME THING WHEN WE ARE DRIVING THE DOOR WILL JUST FLY OPEN WITH NO TYPE OF WARNING. SOMETIMES BEFORE WE START DRIVING IT WILL SAY DRIVER DOOR OPEN. IVE READ MULTIPLE REPORTS OF THIS HAPPENING AND FORD IS YET TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. MY WIFE COULD FALL OUT WHILE I AM DRIVING OR VISE VERSA. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE SOMEONE WINDS UP DEAD AND FORD HAS A LAWSUIT ON THERE HAND.

POWER TRAIN
AS I WAS DRIVING THE TRANSMISSION DISENGAGED AND WOULD NOT GO BACK INTO GEAR. AFTER TOWING TO THE DEALERSHIP IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE HALF SHAFT/CV AXLE WAS MALFUNCTIONING. THIS IS A KNOWN SAFETY ISSUE WITH 2012-14 FORD EDGE BUT BECAUSE MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL I WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIRS.

BRAKE BOOSTER FOR THIS VEHICLE NEEDED REPAIR BASED ON SYMPTOMS MATCHING FSP 13N02, AND THE REPAIR WAS ALSO AN EXACT MATCH. EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERAGE IS PROVIDED BY FORD FOR FSP 13N02 BASED ON A DATE RANGE, BUT FORD REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE CONDITION APPLIED TO THIS VEHICLE AND WOULD NOT COVER THE REPAIR. I HAD THIS VEHICLE REPAIRED AT ANOTHER SHOP (NOT FORD), AND THIS SHOP SAID IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED.

BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELS ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR DURING SUDDEN STOP SITUATIONS AND DOES NOT GO BACK TO NORMAL. WILL SELF CORRECT AFTER VEHICLE SITS FOR A FEW HOURS. AFTER MUTIPLE OCCURRENCES AND ATTEMPTED REPAIRS TRACTION CONTROL AND ABS LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THIS HELPED THE FORD DEALER DETERMINE THE DEFECTIVE PARTS. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN AT THE DEALER SINCE 11/9/18 AND THERE ARE STILL NO FORD FACTORY PARTS AVAILABLE. I WAS NUMBER 208 OUT OF 228 ON THE BACK ORDER LIST. AN AFTERMARKET PARTS WAS INSTALLED WITH OUT MY KNOWLEDGE OR AUTHORIZATION AND FORD WILL NOT PROVIDE ANY WARRANTY FOR THIS PART. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN THAT SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO.

ENGINE
ON WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 9, 2019, MY 2013 FORD EDGE REPORTED AN "OVERHEATED COOLANT" MESSAGE AND WITHIN 2 SECONDS THE ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED, THE CAR IMMEDIATELY LOST THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE AND BEGAN DECELERATING WHILE DRIVING AT 45 MPH ON A BUSY ROAD DURING NIGHT TIME RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. THIS ENDANGERED MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF OTHER MOTORISTS THAT HAD TO QUICKLY AVOID HITTING MY CAR. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO APPLE FORD DEALERSHIP IN COLUMBIA MD AND THE TECHNICIAN INFORMED ME THE INTERNAL WATER PUMP HAD FAILED THAT DIRECTLY IMPACTED THE CAR PERFORMANCE ISSUES AND THE GRINDING NOISE. TO FIX THE WATER PUMP, HE STATED IT WOULD TAKE 17 LABOR HOURS TO REPAIR IT DUE TO HOW FORD DESIGNED THE WATER PUMP BEHIND THE ENGINE. ALSO, THIS REPAIR IS CAUSING ENGINE PROBLEMS. BOTTOM LINE HERE IS THAT THIS FLAWED DESIGNED IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND FORD SHOULD RECALL THE FORD EDGE TO FIX THIS WATER PUMP PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR DIES.

WHEN PRESSING ON THE BREAK PEDAL, HISSING AND SQUEALING NOISE OCCURS. SOMETIMES WHEN PRESSING ON BREAK PEDAL, HARD STOP OCCURS RATHER THAN GRADUAL SLOWING. HISSING AND SQUEALING OCCURS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS BOTH STOPPED AND MOVING. HARD STOP OCCURS WHEN COASTING/BREAKING SLOWLY, HISS, THEN A JERK/HARD STOP OCCURS SUDDENLY WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAPPENS ON CITY STREET AND HIGHWAY. THIS HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR SEVERAL MONTHS.

SERVICE BRAKES, VISIBILITY/WIPER
NO SET TIME THE BRAKES FAILS. GOES TO THE FLOOR INSTEAD OF STOPPING AND IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT RATE OF SPEED YOU'RE TRAVELING. EVEN AFTER THINKING FORD FIXED IT I ALMOST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE THE BRAKES FAILED. FORD FIXED IT BY DOING A FLUSH, COST CHARGED ME A LOT OF MONEY FOR NOTHING OR THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING.

AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC STATED THAT THE VEHCLE EXHIBITED THE SAME FAILURE RELATED TO CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM NUMBER: 13N02 (EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERAGE ON THE BRAKE BOOSTER). THE MANUFACTURER INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS EXCLUDED FROM THE SERVICE CAMPAIGN AND PROVIDED NO REMEDY. THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 73,584.

WHEN I HIT THE BRAKE HARD OR BRAKE OVER A BUMPY ROAD THE BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR AND SQUEAKING NOISE CAN BE HEARD. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP FOR TESTING AND REPAIR AND THEY SAID THE PROBLEM IS SO COMMON THAT THE PART IS NOT AVAILABLE AND ON BACK ORDER. WHILE THE CAR EVENTUALLY STOPS, IT IS A HAZARD BECAUSE IF IT FAILS YOU HAVE TO AVOID REAR ENDING A CAR IN FRONT OF YOU THAT IS STOPPED. THIS SOMETIMES RESULTS IN SWERVING OFF THE ROAD TO AVOID HITTING THAT PERSON. THIS IS A MANUFACTURER FLAW.

HISSING NOISE WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES, SPONGY BRAKE FEEL TURNING TO EXCESSIVE FOOT PRESSURE NEEDED TO STOP THE CAR AND, AFTER STOPPING, BRAKE PEDAL CAN BE PUSHED TO THE FLOOR. THIS ISSUE FIRST OCCURRED DURING CITY DRIVING AND PROGRESSIVELY GOT WORSE.

SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE DRIVING MY 2013 FORD EDGE THE BRAKE SYSTEM ON MY VEHICLE BEGAN TO FAIL ON THE HIGHWAY. WHEN APPLYING PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL THE BRAKES BECAME VERY HARD, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED TO THE FLOOR BUT THE CAR WAS STILL MOVING FORWARD. THERE WAS ALSO A HISSING SOUND COMING FROM THE BRAKE PEDAL. I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT, THE SEAT WARMER FOR THE DRIVER SEAT WAS ON, AND THE CAR LUNGED FORWARD AND THEN THE ENGINE SHUT OFF AUTOMATICALLY. THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND INDICATED LOW OIL AND TO PLACE THE CAR IN PARK. I PLACED THE CAR IN PARK, TURNED OFF THE KEY IN THE IGNITION. I THEN TURNED THE CAR BACK ON AND THE WARNING LIGHT WAS OFF ALONG WITH THE SEAT WARMER. I HAVE TO BELIEVE THIS WAS RELATED TO THE BRAKING ISSUE CREATING A POSSIBLE VACUUM LOSS THROUGH THE FAILED BRAKE BOOSTER SYSTEM AND INCREASING THE RPM'S. THE BRAKE BOOSTER SYSTEM IN MY CAR WAS REPAIRED (84,189 MILES) AT TIRES PLUS AT A COST OF $700 AND THE LOSS OF MY VEHICLE FOR TWO DAYS. THE SERVICE ADVISOR AT TIRES PLUS CALLED A LOCAL FORD DEALER SERVICE ADVISOR AND AFTER PROVIDING THE VIN# FOR MY CAR WAS ADVISED IT WAS NOT COVERED ALTHOUGH THIS IS A KNOW ISSUE AND A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN / CSPN1302 HAS BEEN ISSUED AND AMENDED WITH SUPPLEMENT #1. FORD MOTOR COMPANY NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS BY EITHER INCLUDING/EXTENDING THE CURRENT CSP 13N02 OR A RECALL TO REIMBURSE AUTO OWNERS THAT ARE DEALING WITH THE FAILING BRAKE BOOSTERS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT IS NOT GOING AWAY.
