2014 FORD EDGE Unknown Or Other Problems

THE REAR VIEW CAMERA DISPLAYS A DISTORTED IMAGE ON THE CENTER OF THE DISPLAY SCREEN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN REVERSE.

Rear back up camera stopped working after image turned upside down for a few days.

I purchased my 2014 Ford Edge in December 2023. March 2023, I started having issues with the driver side door lock sensor malfunction as shown in the last photo. The door would not automatically lock when I started driving, sensing that the driver’s side door was still open. It was not. I kept pushing the lock button to lock it, but it kept unlocking even while driving. Eventually it would lock. The cost to fix that was around $600 which I could not afford, and my limited warranty expired. July/August 2025 my ABS and traction control sensor lights were lit on my dash. I took the car for service and my very reputable mechanic diagnosed with no codes showing up a few times. Performed a reset twice and the lights came back on after only driving a couple of miles. He contacted Ford who advised he couldn't sell the part because there was a "national hold" on the part. On 9/2 my brakes and traction control failed resulting me rear ending another vehicle. The other safety issue is that my airbags did not deploy upon the collision. I contacted Ford Corporation and was advised that Ford will not do anything since my vehicle was older than 10 years. The vehicle is a total loss leaving me with a loan balance of approximately $4,700.00. This is neither fair nor right for a multimillion-dollar company that will not or choose not to address or acknowledge their responsibility regarding these two very serious safety issues. Since I didn’t die or get seriously hurt, I guess it’s not that big a deal to Ford.

My backup camera is failing periodically

When in reverse, the backup camera in my vehicle no longer functions. The view is displayed upside down which is very disorienting or the screen rapidly flashes.

My Ford has the rear view camera which at the time was an upgrade. Unfortunately it has not worked in the last 1 year. It has blanked out and shows upside down. According to the dealership only the 2015 and up had the recall. I understand that in 2014 was the year that back up cameras were required in cars. That is why we paid for an upgrade and purchased hours. And now all cars have them. I like to have ours fixed if at all possible without out of pocket.

The backup camera has stopped working. Sometimes it appears fuzzy when the car is put into reverse, other times the screen is black and says I need to contact my local dealership. The screen can also stay that way after I place the vehicle back into drive for several minutes before it goes back to the accessory screen. This issue started out as just sometimes a problem and sometimes the camera would work fine. It is at the point now that it never works anymore. I also have had issues with the rear cross traffic sensors "detecting" things when the car is in reverse that aren't there. It can be very dangerous because you think something is behind the car that is not there and can cause the driver to slam on the brakes. This issue does not happen on a regular basis, just sometimes. The vehicle is available for inspection for all problems. None of the problems have been inspected by anyone professionally yet. A Dealership has not confirmed the issues either.

Back up camera stopped working. Back up sensors either don’t work or will just beep when nothing is behind the car. Don’t have exact date it stopped working because it started working for 1 day and then stopped working again. It has been probably 8 or 9 months since it has worked.

When I purchased my 2014 Ford Edge SEL from North Central Ford, I informed the dealership that the backup camera consistently displayed the error message: “Camera is unavailable, please contact your dealership.” This occurred every time the vehicle was placed in reverse. Additionally, the SYNC display would become unresponsive, disabling access to the phone, climate control, radio, and other settings. The dealership refused to fix the issue and instead offered to replace the entire SYNC system with an upgrade costing around $800. This issue has persisted since purchase in January 2018. The Ford Edge has significant blind spots, and the backup camera is essential for safe reversing. I recently discovered that Ford issued a recall for similar issues, but my model is not included—even though it clearly suffers from the same defect. I request that the 2014 Ford Edge SEL be included in the recall to address this safety-critical issue.

Backup camera doesn't always display. Had a accident while backing up.

Backup camera fails intermittently and displays a warning telling me it is not operable and recommending it be checked. Same problem as desc2ibed in NHTSA recall issued last month for Ford vehicles including 2021-2014 Edge.

Back up camera randomly goes to a blank/black screen. Other times it randomly flips upside down. Many times the picture is grainy and wavy. Completely unreliable. I was told that the cameras just go bad randomly and that it’s my problem. However, it has to be the wiring since occasionally the picture is sharp and occasionally it is right side up. The constant unreliability is a safety hazard.

Backup camera not working properly. Unsure if this falls under any recall headings for safety. I’ve seen many recalls on newer backup cameras but none on this year model. Was displaying upside down or with green lines across the screen and now just completely unavailable. Has not been diagnosed by ford and will not be diagnosed by ford out of my pocket. Can’t afford it. But it is available for inspection. I did clean some corrosion off of some wiring harness connections to no avail. Please advise.

The back up camera image flipped upside down about five years ago. it will occasionally flip right side up for short while, but then flips back. I recently found online that I'm not alone, and that this seems to be a common problem among Ford Edge owners. Also, I see where there was a recall of 2020 and 2021 Ford Edges with similar back up camera issues. It seems that the problem existed prior to those years already. Is there any chance that the this problem be acknowledged by Ford to me, an earlier and current owner ?

The drive door is consistently not locking properly and the door latch sensor is not reading when the door is shut properly. Causing a "door ajar" and "transmission not in park" warning to pop up while driving. Also, my car alarm goes off several times a day and several times all through the night due to the door sensor not working properly. The doors not locking is a huge safety risk. The interior lights stay on making it hard to see while driving at night and drains my car battery. Children can open my doors from the inside while driving and any unwanted person can open my doors from the outside while stopped for traffic reasons. When I looked at the car to purchase 4 years ago, I reported the issue to the dealer and the dealer supposedly sent the car to a Ford dealership to inspect and fix the issue. After the supposed fix, the issue seemed fine for a while. However, the issue came back shortly after purchase and got worse causing other symptoms such as the car alarm going off randomly after locking the car. I honestly feel the dealer just cleaned the sensor and door latch area to make a sale, which from what I've read is only a temporary fix. I have seen investigations and recalls for 2011, 2012, and 2013 Ford Edge models with the same or similar issues. However, there have not been any investigations and recalls for this issue on a 2014 Ford Edge, yet there are many complaints. Please investigate this safety issue so we don't have to worry about possible risk that could occur while driving. Thank you.

While driving 50-55 MPH the car shuts down. Able to glide, stir/turn the car over to shoulder and put in park. Flashes SEE MANUAL and a wrench shows. Restart the car and drive. Has done this several times, laps from 2 weeks to 2 months, for last 7 months. Two service stations checked and said they can't find anything. Took car to Ford dealership and also say can't find anything wrong. I am 75yrs women and this is dangerous to be on the road!

I bought this vehicle brand now. The Edge only has 69k miles on it and I have replaced the front and back brakes (rotors, pads, calibers) 3 times (yes...3 times). I also had to recently (in 2023) replace the muffler, left and right outer tierods, left and right front wheel bearings and hubs. NOW: April 2023: my front brakes are pulsating and I brought the vehicle back to my mechanic for a complete vehicle check overall which the mechanic documented: Power steering return line is rotted (cost $175). A/C condenser is leaking and needs to be replaced/recharged (cost $1050). Driveshaft issue/vibration @ 50 mph: need to remove the rear driveshaft and inspect: if needs to be replaced: $4500. Replace Front and Read brake pads/rotors/calibers ($1600)...which would be #4 for replacement. Replacement of right rear parking brake cable ($205). ***I previously wrote a complaint several years ago (for the same VIN#)...this is just an update and I am requesting FORD to review and demand a recall. The 2014 Edge has been a money pit for me and it only has 69k in mileage. If there was a way I could seek reimbursement I would. I will never buy a FORD again.

Pulled out of a parking lot onto a busy street locally, car lost power and the orange wrench light came on. Would not go, all the car did was jerk and sputter. Engine did not shut off but would only coast/roll into the middle lane and managed to coast/roll into another business parking lot next door to where I pulled out from and once parked, I turned ignition off and back on. Wrench light went out and car started. No codes were apparently shown when hooked up to the machine at the car lot the next day (wrench light was still off) this is very scary and very dangerous whatever it is, it needs investigated and fixed so us Ford edge drivers can feel safe when driving. Also 1 week before this my check engine light came on, same code 3 times came up for eval, emissions ECT... Now no codes are showing since the wrench light came on Sunday and my car stopped moving.

My 2014 Edge has the same issue that is getting solved by The NHTSA recall number, 22S43. The vehicle is not going into park.

2014 ford edge backorder prevention, identical to the recall for 2021 & 2022 edge recall for distorted or camera not available NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V151000. This recall should be expanded to include other years including 2014 edge as these vehicles are having the same issue. This happens every day and as soon as you put the vehicle into reverse.

The back up camera video is upside down. It is like this 95% of the time, occasionally it will be in the correct position. Sometimes the screen is all black, but mostly is is upside down making it very difficult to use when parking!

When the vehicle reaches up to 80,000 miles or so, you may hear a clicking or clunking in the rear when turning or ascending. Nowhere listed in the driver's manual is a power transfer unit mentioned. Obviously, the fluid in this part has to be changed every 30,000 miles. Resulting in a very expensive repair if not done so. I am being quoted 2500.00 for the part and installation by a ford dealer. The power transfer unit blew up, has black oil and metal fragments in it.

The contact owns a 2014 Ford Edge. The contact stated while driving 40 MPH and approaching a stop sign, she had to depress the brake pedal to the floor to stop the vehicle. The contact also stated she heard an abnormal noise. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact took the vehicle to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed with needing the brake booster to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired but on 11/8/2021, she began to experience the failure again. The contact took the vehicle back to local dealer, where it was diagnosed with needing the brake master cylinder to be replaced. The master cylinder was replaced 11/22/2021 but failed to fix the failure. The dealer informed the contact that the hydraulic control unit needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired but was pending the repair. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was 64,800 as of 2/14/2022. The contact stated that the hydraulic control unit was not replaced and the vehicle was taken to another mechanic. The right rear caliper piston was repaired. The failure has not reoccurred.

Heat and defrost malfunction. Driver side blows cold defrost and hot on passenger side. Potentially a safety issue as there is no way to defrost driver side windshield in cold weather

While driving the wrench light will come on, vehicle will lose all power and vehicle becomes difficult to steer and brake. Once the vehicle stops vehicle needs to shut down, wait several minutes and then restarted. Once vehicle is on again the light goes out

Window Master Switch and door wire harness on drivers door does not operate. Can not open any windows on the vehicle. Rear windows will not open from rear door switches also. In case of accident windows can not be opened for exit purposes. Can not open windows if stopped by a police officer, whereas, they may feel threatened by occupant in vehicle. Is this a safety feature to be able to open windows. Ford dealer performed a vehicle check on May 20, 2021 and indicated the door harness may need replacement and the window master switch. Ford indicated the vehicle is 7 years old and the part is likely not made by Ford anymore. Ford has no way to correct the issue. There were no warning lights, messages, regarding the stoppage on May 20, 2021

THE VEHICLE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DISPLAYS A "DRIVER DOOR AJAR" WARNING...DESPITE THE DOOR BEING FULLY CLOSED. THE DOME LIGHTS STAY ON, AND AN "ENGINE ON" ALERT APPEARS, AS WELL. TO CLEAR IT, THE DRIVER'S DOOR MUST BE CLOSED SEVERAL TIMES. IT IS OCCURRING MORE AND MORE OFTEN. THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY DURING THIS PROBLEM. IT SEEMS THIS IS A RAMPANT PROBLEM FROM WHAT MY RESEARCH INDICATES...AND SHOULD SEEMINGLY DICTATE A FACTORY RECALL.

WHEN I CLOSE MY DRIVER DOOR, IT TELLS ME THAT MY DOOR IS AJAR. I KNOW MY DOOR IS CLOSED SO I PUT MY CAR IN DRIVE AND IT TELLS ME THAT MY TRANSMISSION IS NOT IN PARK. I KNOW THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE 2013 FORD EDGE DOOR LATCH ON THE DRIVER DOOR. I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT FORD HAS CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. I HAVE TO CLOSE MY DOOR 3 TO 4 TIMES EVERY TIME I GET IN MY CAR JUST TO MAKE THE INDICATOR STOP DINGING. *TR

THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR SENSOR/ LATCH IS FAILING. DOOR IS CLOSED OR SLAMMED MULTIPLE TIMES AND SENSOR SHOWS ERRORS OF: DOOR AJAR, TRANSMISSION NOT IN PARK, ENGINE ON BECAUSE IT DOESN'T SENSE THE DOOR BEING SHUT. THEREFORE THE OVERHEAD LIGHT STAYS ON AND CAN POTENTIALLY DRAIN BATTERY. IF CONTINUING TO DRIVE WITH WARNING IT WILL BEEP EVERY FEW SECONDS. THE DOORS WILL NOT AUTOMATICALLY LOCK. WHEN GETTING OUT OF CAR AND LOCKING. IT NEEDS TO BE SHUT MULTIPLE TIMES SO LIGHT DOESN'T STAY ON AND OR ALARM WILL NOT SET. *TR

DRIVER SIDE DOOR LATCH/SENSOR MALFUNCTION. DUE TO MANUFACTURE DATE OF OCTOBER 2014 MY VEHICLE IS NOT ELIGIBLE UNDER CURRENT RECALL FOR THE LATCH (19N09) HOWEVER MY VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP HAVING THE PART REPLACED WITH OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE. *TR

THE DRIVER SAID DOOR WON'T REGISTER AS CLOSED SO THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYS ON. THIS THEN WON'T ALLOW THE DOORS TO LOCK AND KEEPS THE DOME LIGHT ON. HOW DO YOU KNOW IF THE DOOR IS REALLY SHUT OR NOT ? IT MAKES THE CAR ALMOST USELESS SINCE IT THINKS THE DOOR IS NOT SHUT AND HOW DO YOU KNOW IF IT IS OR NOT.

DOOR AJAR / TRANSMISSION NOT IN PARK SENSOR IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. UNSAFE CONDITION NOT KNOWING IF DOOR LOCK SYSTEM IS WORKING PROPERLY. HAVE TO STOP NUMEROUS TIME WHILE DRIVING TO CHECK IF DOOR IS ACTUALLY CLOSED AND LOCKED. ALSO WILL NOT ALLOW INTERIOR LIGHTS TO GO OFF, AND IS SAFETY ISSUE WHEN TRYING TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO SEE DUE TO LOST OF NIGHT VISION. FORD MOTOR KNOWS OF THE ISSUES FOR YEARS BUT REFUSES TO CORRECT ISSUE VIA A RECALL. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 31,000 MILES ON IT.

THE REAR BACKUP CAMERA FAILED AFTER 5 YEARS. IT WOULD NOT PRESENT A PROPER IMAGE ON THE SCREEN IN THE DASHBOARD, RATHER IT SHOWED AN IMAGE THAT WAS UPSIDE DOWN OR IT WAS JUST BLANK. DEALER SAID IT WAS FORM NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR (?) AND IT WAS OVER $1K TO REPAIR. SINCE IT IS RELIED UPON WHEN BACKING UP THE VEHICLE, IT PRESENTED A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE TO NOT HAVE IT OPERATE PROPERLY.

Mileage: 77,654

DRIVING MY VEHICLE IN TRAFFIC AND IT DISPLAYED A WRENCH SYMBOL AND START SHAKING LOST POWER, HAD TO DRIFT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD IN TRAFFIC. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER SAME DAY AFTER 3 HOURS OF BEING ON SIDE OF THE ROAD THEY SAID IT WAS THE OIL CAP HAD CAME OFF, BUT YOU COULD NOT GO BUT 20 MPH. WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHYS HASN'T ANYONE ISSUED AN RECALL ON THIS YEAR MODEL. TO COVER THE COST OF THIS ISSUE, COULD HAVE LOST MY LIFE. PLEASE CONSIDER ISSUING A FULL RECALL.

WE ARE EXPERIENCING HIGH LEVELS OF EXHAUST GASES INSIDE THE PASSENGER CABIN OF A 2014 FORD EDGE. THE EXHAUST FUMES ARE NOTICEABLE WHEN IDLING FOR EXTENDED PERIODS AND ARE MOST PRONOUNCED WHEN ACCELERATING AT HIGHWAY SPEED. EXHAUST GASES CAN REACH HIGH LEVELS SO UNCOMFORTABLE THAT WINDOWS MUST BE ROLLED DOWN TO FLUSH THE PASSENGER CABIN. THIS CONDITION HAS BEEN REPORTED TO A FORD SERVICE DEPARTMENT WHICH INDICATED THAT A METHOD OF REPAIR EXISTS BUT NO MANUFACTURER RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED TO DATE. THE CONDITION IS SIMILAR TO THAT IN THE FORD EXPLORER THAT RESULTED IN REPAIRS TO LAW ENFORCEMENT VEHICLES.

LUCKILY SHE WAS ABLE TO COAST ONTO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITHOUT BEING HIT FROM THE REAR. IN THE DASH, THE "WRENCH" ICON DISPLAYED WITH A MESSAGE ALERTING HER TO SEE MANUAL. IT HAS BEEN 3YRS TO THE DATE SINCE WE'VE PURCHASED THE CAR AND NOTHING LIKE THIS HAS EVER HAPPENED. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE THAT WAS HAPPENING TO OTHER FORD EDGE'S IN 2013. AS FORD IS ABOUT SAFETY, I'M PERSONALLY OUTRAGED THAT THIS ISSUE IS STILL HAPPENING WITH NO RESOLVE. WHAT IF SHE HAD GOTTEN HURT; WHAT IF SHE HAD HURT SOMEONE ELSE DUE TO THIS ISSUE.

ON SATURDAY OCT. 6 AT APPROX. 9 P.M. WITH MILD WEATHER/TEMP. AT 70 MPH ON LEFT LANE OF HIGHWAY IN A CONSTRUCTION ZONE WITH NO EMERGENCY SHOULDER, WRENCH SYMBOL APPEARED AND IT WOULD NOT KEEP UP TO SPEED. BECAUSE OF THE SUDDEN SLOW DOWN, WE WERE ALMOST HIT SEVERAL TIMES TRYING TO GET TO THE RIGHT. THE SPEED DROPPED SUDDENLY. LIMPED IT ALONG TO WHAT WE "THOUGHT WAS A SAFE EXIT" AND CALLED STATE POLICE. WHILE WAITING I KEPT THE CAR ON WITH HAZARD LIGHTS. THEN TWO VEHICLES APPEARED TRIED TO BLOCK US IN AND WE BELIEVE ROB US. I WAS ABLE TO HIT THE GAS AND GET 1/4 MILE BEFORE IT DID IT AGAIN. WOULD NOT MOVE, CHUGGED AND CUT OFF. THE SUSPICIOUS PEOPLE TOOK OFF BUT IT WAS TERRIFYING TO BE SO VULNERABLE AND NOT BE ABLE TO GET AWAY. IT WAS TOWED BY STATE POLICE TO CLOSEST DEALER OF THE AUTO GROUP WE PURCHASED FROM AS A CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED VEHICLE. AFTER READING ONLINE THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MANY, MANY PEOPLE AND HOW DANGEROUS IT IS, I WANTED TO REPORT IT. THIS ISSUE IS GOING TO KILL PEOPLE. IT IS THE THROTTLE BODY.

EXHAUST ODORS ENTER VEHICLE CABIN AFTER HEAVIER ACCELERATION. IT IS MORE PREVALENT WHEN AIR CONDITIONING IT TURNED ON. THIS ODOR CAN VARY IN INTENSITY FROM MILD TO SO OVERWHELMING THAT YOU COUGH, GAG, EYES WATER AND SINUSES WILL DRAIN. IT IRRITATES MY THROAT. I DRIVE THIS VEHICLE A LOT EACH DAY AND WHILE AT FIRST I THOUGHT THE SMELL WAS ENTERING THE VEHICLE FROM OTHER VEHICLES EXHAUST IN FRONT OF ME, I HAVE FINALLY REALIZED IT IS COMING FROM THE VEHICLE I AM DRIVING. SMELL INTENSITY SEEMS RELATED TO HOW HARD THE ACCELERATION WAS. FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN ENTERING A HIGHWAY ON AN ACCELERATION RAMP DURING HEAVY TRAFFIC, THE SITUATION COULD REQUIRE HEAVY ACCELERATION TO GET UP TO SPEED. THE CAR GETS A VERY HEAVY ODOR OF EXHAUST INSIDE THE CABIN IN THIS SITUATION WITH AIR CONDITIONING ON. WHEN THIS INTENSITY HAPPENS YOU MUST ROLL DOWN THE WINDOWS TO CLEAR THE SMELL FROM THE INTERIOR. THE SMELL IS LESS INTENSE DURING EASIER ACCELERATIONS. I NOTICE MYSELF FEELING DROWSY SOMETIMES DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS, WITH AIR CONDITIONING ON, AFTER I HAVE BEEN DRIVING THE CAR FOR MAYBE AN HOUR OR SO. ROLLING THE WINDOWS DOWN SEEMS TO MAKE THE SENSATION GO AWAY AS DOES GETTING OUT OF THE VEHICLE. I AM CONCERNED CARBON MONOXIDE IS PRESENT WITH THE ODOR THAT ENTERS THE VEHICLE INTERIOR. I DO NOT NOTICE THE SMELL MUCH DURING THE COOLER MONTHS WHEN AIR CONDITIONING IS NOT USED. THE INTENSITY OF THE ODOR, UNDER HEAVIER ACCELERATION, IS VIRTUALLY BREATHTAKING. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO BREATH INSIDE THE INTERIOR DURING THIS KIND OF INTENSITY. WE PURCHASED THIS USED VEHICLE USED IN EARLY 2016 WITH 10,000 MILES ON IT AND DRIVE IT DAILY. IT HAS OVER 30,000 MILES NOW. I HAVE READ AND RESEARCHED MANY COMMENTS AND COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS VEHICLE AND FORD EXPLORERS WITH THE SAME DESCRIBED ISSUE. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO RESEARCH A FIX.

ON JULY 31, 2017 IN MY 2014 FORD EDGE I SLOWED DOWN TO TURN RIGHT INTO A PARKING SPACE AT AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR TOOK FLIGHT OVER THE CURB AND SPED INTO THE WOODS. SCARED AND SHAKEN I WAS TRAPPED IN THE CAR WITH TREES BLOCKING THE FRONT DOORS. I WAS ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE CAR BY CLIMBING INTO THE BACKSEAT WHERE I WAS ABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR. THE CAR WAS NOT DRIVABLE AND HAD TO BE TOWED. THIS ACCELERATION IS VERY SCARY AND I WILL NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE DRIVING THIS CAR AGAIN! WHAT IF CHILDREN WOULD HAVE BEEN IN THE WAY?

THE DRIVER DOOR AJAR LIGHT WILL NOT TURN OFF WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED. THIS ALSO CAUSES THE DOME LIGHTS TO STAY ON AND TRIGGER THE ALARM SYSTEM OCCASIONALLY.

THE CAR CAME TO A STOP BY HITTING A SMALL TREE, AND JUST MISSED A LARGE TREE. I WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT THE CAR ROLLED SLOW ENOUGH THE CARS AND PEOPLE WERE ABLE TO AVOID CONTACT. THERE WAS A CROWD, BUT THANKFULLY NO ONE CALLED THE POLICE. THE CAR ONLY HAD A SMALL SCRATCH ON THE BUMPER. I ALSO REMEMBER A BING..BING..BING NOISE WHEN WE EXITED THE VEHICLE PRIOR TO IT ROLLING AWAY. IT MADE THE SAME NOISE THEN I LEAVE MY HEADLIGHTS ON, BUT THEY AUTO SHUT-OFF IN THE PAST. YOU MAY HAVE FIGURED OUT THAT I FORGOT TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK. YES I MADE AN ERROR, BUT FORD COULD HAVE THE CAR MAKE A LOUD NOISE IF THE DRIVER DOOR IS OPENED BEFORE OR AFTER THE ENGINE IS SHUT OFF AND THE CAR IS NOT IN PARK. I AM A 29 YEAR EMT, AND I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT SAFETY IS ALWAYS ON MY MIND, BUT JUST NOT ON THIS DAY. I AM 63 YEARS OLD, AND ALL MY PREVIOUS CARS WERE UNABLE TO REMOVE THE KEYS IF THE CAR WAS NOT IN PARK. SO IT'S ALL ABOUT THE PUSH BUTTON START/STOP BUTTON. THANKS FOR READING, AND MAYBE YOU CAN SUGGEST A FIX TO FORD.

CAR HESITATES 4 OR 5 SECONDS WHEN GOING FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE WHEN INCREASING SPEED ON HIGHWAY TO CHANGE LANES OR AFTER COASTING THEN TRY TO ACCELERATE FORD SAYS TOUGH LIVE WITH IT TRIED SEVERAL TIMES TO HAVE IT REPAIRED THEY SAY CANT BE DONE

WHEN YOU ACCELERATE TO PASS OR ENTER A FREEWAY YOU GET STRONG EXHAUST FUMES INSIDE THE CAR.SO STRONG YOU HAVE TO PUT THE WINDOWS DOWN TO CLEAR THEM OUT. HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE BACK TO DEALERSHIP 4 TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM. THEY HAVE DONE WHAT FORD SAID DO AND THAT DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. FORD SAID " WELL DON'T ACCELERATE HARD." TELL ME HOW YOU CAN GET ON A BUSY FREEWAY IN HOUSTON, TEXAS WITHOUT ACCELERATING HARD. THIS HAS CONVINCED ME THAT FORD DOES NOT CARE ABOUT CONSUMERS,SO I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER FORD.

ISSUE STARTED LATE LAST YEAR, DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT/AUDIO WARNING COMES ON EVEN THOUGH THE DOOR IS COMPLETELY CLOSED. DOESN'T ALLOW THE DOOR TO LOCK WHILE DRIVING AND THE AUDIO WARNER CONSISTENTLY COMES ON DURING THE DRIVE. THE WARNING COMES ON IMMEDIATELY ONCE THE CAR IS STARTED AND THE WARNING CONTINUES WHEN THE CAR COMES TO A STOP AND WHEN IT BEGINS TO ACCELERATE. WE'VE TAKEN THE CAR WHILE IT WAS UNDER WARRANTLY TO HAVE THE PROBLEM ADDRESSED. THE DEALER LOOKED AT IT AND COMMUNICATED THAT THEY'VE HAD THIS ISSUE BEFORE. THE PROBLEM WAS RESOLVED BUT NOW IT'S BACK AGAIN AFTER MAYBE 4 MONTHS.

MY HORN DOES NOT WORK NEITHER ON THE COLLIUM OR WHEN I LOCK THE DOORS WITH REMOTE TO ALERT ME THAT IT IS LOCKED.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY BETWEEN 65 AND 75 MPH, STRONG EXHAUST SMELL IN THE CABIN, THROUGH AC VENTS. THIS HAPPENS ALSO UPON ACCELERATION. THIS HAPPENS ON LONG ROAD TRIPS. THIS CARBON MONOXIDE INSIDE THE VEHICLE. HAVE TAKEN VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP THREE TIMES AND THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THE FIRST TIME WAS SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASE OF THE VEHICLE. IT HAS HAPPENED A TOTAL NINE TIMES SO FAR. FIRST TIME WE WENT TO DEALERSHIP, THEY STATED THE HAD JUST GOT A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN ABOUT THIS ISSUE. NO NOTIFICATION TO CONSUMERS. AS EVERYONE KNOWS, NO NOTIFICATION TO CONSUMERS IF NOT A RECALL. FORD KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND WE FEEL THAT THEY ARE IGNORING THE OBVIOUS. IT'S PASS DUE FOR AN INVESTIGATION. WE HAVE STARTED THE NECESSARY PROTOCOL FOR A REPURCHASE. WE DO NOT WANT TO DRIVE A VEHICLE THAT IS TOXIC TO OUR HEALTH.

THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN CONFIRMED TO EXIST IN BOTH A 2011 AND A 2014 FORD EDGE. WITH A PASSENGER WEIGHTING 72-75 LBS IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT, THE AIR BAG TURNS ON AND OFF DEPENDING ON HOW THE PASSENGER IS SITTING ON THE SEAT. THIS SAME PASSENGER HAS TRAVELED ALMOST 50,000 MILES IN A 2011 MUSTANG WHICH HAS A SIMILAR SENSOR SYSTEM AND HAS NEVER HAD THE AIR BAG TURN ON. WE ARE ABLE TO REPRODUCE THIS PROBLEM AT WILL. THIS INFORMATION SUGGESTS A PROBLEM IN THE FORD EDGE WITH THE SOFTWARE THAT MONITORS THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT SENSORS AND DETERMINES WHEN TO TURN ON THE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG. THIS WAS REPORTED TO FORD ON 07/22 AND WE CHECKED ON IT ON 09/23 AND THERE WAS NO UPDATE, INDICATING THAT THEY HAVE NOT TAKEN ANY ACTION ON THIS.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN I-25 WITH MY SPOUSE DOING APPRX. 75MPH WHEN MY SUNROOF EXPLODED. WE ARE FORTUNATE NO ONE WAS INJURED. GLASS DID FALL ON MY HEAD AS I WAS TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. FORD REFUSES TO COVER IT UNDER WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH THE DEALERSHIP STATES IT EXPLODED FROM THE INSIDE. FORD DOES NOT KNOW WHAT CAUSED THE PROBLEM BUT JUST STATES IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. IF THE COVERING WAS OPENED SOMEONE WOULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN AND HAS HAPPENED TO SEVERAL VEHICLES BUT FORD REFUSES TO DO A RECALL. IT IS GOING TO TAKE SOMEONE GETTING SERIOUSLY INJURED BEFORE FORD RECOGNIZES THE PROBLEM AS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT.
