ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE DOOR AJAR SENSOR IS ALWAYS ON. WHEN I START DRIVING THE LIGHTS ARE ON UNTIL I MOVE A FEW FEET. I AM NOT ABLE TO LOCK MY DOORS OR USE MY REMOTE START. IT HAS KILLED MY BATTERY. WHEN MY CAR IS PARKED AND TURNED OFF THE LIGHTS WILL COME ON AND OFF RANDOMLY.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT AND WARNING SOUNDS ALERT WHEN ALL DOORS OF THE VEHICLE ARE DEFINITELY CLOSED. THIS HAS CAUSED ME TO RUIN 2 BATTERIES IN THE LAST 1.5 YEARS. ALSO IT CAUSES MY DOOR LOCKING MECHANISM TO NOT ENGAGE WHILE DRIVING LEAVING ME VULNERABLE AND UNSAFE AS A FEMALE DRIVER. MY FORD DEALER WILL CHARGE ME +$500 TO FIX THE 2 FAULTY MECHANISMS, THEN PROBABLY ANOTHER +$500 WHEN THE OTHER 2 BEGIN NOT WORKING.

SERVICE BRAKES
ON 9/18/18 WHILE TRAVELING HOME FROM DOING SOME ERRANDS WENT TO APPLY BRAKES TO SLOW AND TURN AND PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR, PUMPED THEM A FEW TIMES TO STOP AND SINCE THEY HAVE PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE TO A POINT OUR MECHANIC SUGGESTED NOT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. AFTER SOME RESEARCH IT LOOKS LIKE A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THE EDGE! IS FORD GOING TO STEP UP?? SOUNDS LIKE A COSTLY ADVENTURE. FORD NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY!! REACHED OUT TO FORD FOR RECALL INFO. AND THERE HAPPENS TO NONE FOR MY VEHICLE. THEY SUGGESTED TO BRING TO A FORD DEALER MECHANIC AND AFTER DIAGNOSIS MAYBE FORD WILL HELP EASE THE FINANCIAL PAIN. MAYBE! UNFORTUNATELY FORD MECHANICS ARE MORE THAN DOUBLE THE COST OF OUR MORE THAN CAPABLE MECHANIC. FOR THE SAFETY OF ALL EDGE OWNERS PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL.

SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR MAKING THE VEHICLE ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO STOP. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC WHO REPLACED THE BRAKES AND MASTER CYLINDER HOWEVER THAT DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM OF NO BRAKE PEDAL. I THEN TOOK THE VEHICLE TO FORD WHERE THEY ADVISED THAT THEY HAVE SEEN A RASH OF THIS PROBLEM, AND ADVISED THAT IT IS MOST LIKELY THE ABS CONTROL MODULE. THE VEHICLE IS AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP AS I TYPE. THIS IS THE SECOND ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE, THE FIRST WAS A BRAKE BOOSTER FAILURE THAT MADE THE BRAKE PEDAL VERY HARD TO PUSH.

SERVICE BRAKES
IN AUGUST 2018, I APPLIED THE BRAKES ON MY 2012 FORD EDGE AND THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. THIS HAPPENED BEFORE AND TOOK IT FOR DIAGNOSTIC; ABS SENSOR WAS TRIPPED, BUT ONCE RESET ALL APPEARED TO WORK FINE. WAS NOT SURE WHAT PROBLEM WAS AND SINCE COULD NOT REPLICATE, IT WAS NOT CLEAR WHAT WE SHOULD DO TO FIX PROBLEM. IT HAS NOW HAPPENED AGAIN. I HAD NO BRAKE PRESSURE, BUT COULD HEAR A WHISTLE SOUND WHEN RELEASING THE BRAKE. I HAD THE MASTER CYLINDER AND BRAKE BOOSTER REPLACED. HOWEVER, ON TEST DRIVE DURING HARD BRAKING THE PEDAL AGAIN WENT TO FLOOR, WHISTLING STOPPED. IT APPEARS THE PROBLEM IS IN THE ABS SYSTEM. THE COST TO REPLACE ELECTRONIC AND HYDRAULIC ABS IS OVER $1100. AFTER ONLINE RESEARCH, I CAN SEE THIS IS COMMON PROBLEM WITH FORD EDGES -- CLEARLY TOO COMMON.

SERVICE BRAKES
THE ORIGINAL POWER BRAKE BOOSTER FAILED AND WAS REPLACED. THE SECOND POWER BRAKE BOOSTER FAILED AND ANOTHER ONE WAS REPLACED. THE FORD DEALERSHIP DID NOT WANT TO RECOGNIZE THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THIS PART AGAIN AND PASSED IT OFF AS SOMETHING ELSE (REAR CALIPER) CAUSING THE BRAKES TO LOOSE PRESSURE. I HOPE A REVIEW OF THESE PARTS WILL BE MADE FOR OTHER DRIVER'S SAFETY. SEE ATTACHMENTS.

SERVICE BRAKES
3 TIMES BRAKES WERE SOFT AND BRAKE PEDAL WENT COMPLETELY TO FLOOR WHEN TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD. CAR WAS SLOW TO STOP!!! TAKING A LONG TIME, STANDING UP ON BRAKES. AFTER PUMPING THEM SEVERAL TIMES STILL PEDAL GOING TO FLOOR. VERY DANGEROUS. NOW, VERY LITTLE BRAKES AT ALL. EVEN SITTING STILL, BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO FLOOR. ONLINE REVIEWS, MANY FORD EDGE VEHICLES WITH SAME MANUFACTURE PROBLEM. I'LL BE TAKING CAR TO MECHANIC BECAUSE I NEED TRANSPORTATION.

POWER TRAIN
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD EDGE. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS SHIFTED INTO PARK, IT MOVED FORWARD AND STRUCK A TREE WITHOUT WARNING. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A BODY SHOP AND DEEMED OPERABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 88,000.

SERVICE BRAKES
WHEN DRIVING MY 2012 FORD EDGE I EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKES AT LOW SPEEDS. WHEN I WAS PARKING OR TRYING TO STOP FOR A STOP LIGHT, THE BRAKES WOULD BECOME ROCK HARD AND I WOULD HAVE TO PUSH AS HARD AS I COULD AND HOPE IT WOULD STOP. IT WAS A VERY FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE AND A DEFINITE SAFETY ISSUE. ON ONE OCCASION I WAS UNABLE TO GET THE CAR TO STOP AND ROLLED INTO THE ROAD. I JUST BOUGHT THE CAR LESS THAN 48 HOURS BEFORE. I WAS INFORMED IT WAS DUE TO THE BRAKE BOOSTER BEING BAD. FORD IS REPAIRING THIS.
