2011 FORD EDGE Complaints

THE BRAKE PEDAL BECOMES SPONGY, AND THE VEHICLE TAKES A VERY LONG TIME TO STOP. ALMOST REAR ENDED SOMEONE AND ROLLED THROUGH STOP LIGHT. CAN PUSH BRAKE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND HEAR HIGH PITCHED WHISTLE WHILE THE PEDAL SLOWLY RECOVERS. NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS AT CARCOMPLAINTS. COM ABOUT BRAKE BOOSTER. VEHICLE WAS SERVICED AT FORD DEALER 7/18/2015 AND I WAS ADVISED THERE ARE NO RECALLS. FORD NEEDS TO ADVISE OWNERS THERE IS A PROBLEM, TO AT LEAST BRING THE VEHICLES IN TO BE CHECKED, IF NOT REPLACE THE PARTS.

AFTER PULLING OUT ONTO THE HIGHWAY, CAR SEEMED TO STALL. WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON, ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING, HOWEVER PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL DID NOTHING. AFTER COASTING TO A SAFER SPOT TO PULL OVER, I SHUT THE ENGINE OFF AND STARTED THE CAR AGAIN. DROVE A FEW MILES DOWN THE ROAD BEFORE IT DID THE SAME THING AGAIN. LUCKY THAT THERE WASN'T ANY VEHICLES BEHIND ME TO HIT ME. GLAD I WASN'T ON THE INTERSTATE, PULLING OUT IN TRAFFIC, OR ATTEMPTING TO PASS SOMEONE WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I CONTACTED FORD TODAY AFTER SEEING CSP13N03, WHICH WAS BECAUSE OF THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM, AND WAS TOLD THAT MY VIN WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THIS PROGRAM. I THEN ASKED THEM WHO TO APPEAL THIS TO AND THEY TOLD ME THEY HAVE OPENED A CASE # FOR MY REPORTED PROBLEM BUT THERE WASN'T ANYONE TO APPEAL THEIR DECISION TO, WHATEVER THAT MAY BE OR WHENEVER THAT MAY FINALLY COME. IN THE MEANTIME, I'M STUCK WITHOUT A VEHICLE TO SAFELY TRANSPORT MY CHILDREN IN UNTIL I CAN AFFORD TO HAVE IT FIXED, WHILE OTHER VEHICLES WHOSE VIN WERE COVERED UNDER THIS PROGRAM WITH THE EXACT SAME TROUBLES WERE COVERED. THIS CUSTOMER SERVICE PROGRAM (ISSUED INSTEAD OF A RECALL) NEEDS TO BE EXTENDED TO ALL VEHICLES FORD MANUFACTURED DURING THE SAME TIME FRAME, AS A QUICK INTERNET SEARCH REVEALED HUNDREDS OF OTHERS IN THE SAME POSITION I AM IN. IT IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION TO PUT THE LIVES OF COUNTLESS FAMILIES IN, AND FOR NO GOOD REASON! ....UPDATED 09/03/15 *BF UPDATED 12/05/2017*CN

VEHICLE LOST POWER WHILE ENTERING FREEWAY. WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON, ENGINE WAS SHUDDERING BALDY. ENGINE HAD JUST BEEN STARTED AFTER SITTING FOR 90 MINUTES. HAD TO LIMP ACROSS TWO LANES OF TRAFFIC TO GET TO THE MEDIAN. ENGINE HAD TO BE SHUT DOWN AND RESTARTED AFTER TWO MINUTES. COULD HAVE CAUSED A BAD COLLISION.I DO NOT TRUST THIS CAR. IT IS DANGEROUS.

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ON A SURFACE STREET WITH OUR INFANT BOYS IN THE BACK SEAT. WITHOUT WARNING, THE 2011 FORD EDGE LOST ALL POWER AND THE ENGINE VIBRATED INTENSELY. IT COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS COLLISION. SHE RESTARTED THE CAR AND TRIED TO MAKE IT HOME SAFELY AND SLOWLY. IT HAPPENED AGAIN ON THE WAY. THE NEXT DAY (7/20/15), WHEN WE DROVE THE SUV TO THE DEALERSHIP, IT HAPPENED A 3RD TIME. GALPIN FORD (N HILLS, CA) DIAGNOSED IT WITH A FAULTY THROTTLE BODY, NOT COVERED BY OUR 7-YEAR POWERTRAIN LIMITED WARRANTY. THIS IS A CERTIFIED PREOWNED FORD EDGE THAT WE PURCHASED A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AGO. THROTTLE BODIES SHOULD NOT FAIL WITH 45K MILES ON THE CAR. AND, IT SHOULD BE COVERED BY THE WARRANTY, OR BETTER YET...IT SHOULD BE A RECALL. THE LOSS OF POWER IS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM THAT FORD SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE AWD AND CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER TO THE EMERGENCY LANE. THE CONTACT SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE AND WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE ENGINE, BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 33,800.

THE "DOOR AJAR" WARNING LIGHT STARTED COMING ON, INTERMITTENTLY AT FIRST AND THEN CONTINUOUSLY. BAD SENSOR. WHEN THIS OCCURS, THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK USING THE LATCH AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON FOR A TIME. THE ONLY WAY TO LOCK THE DOORS ONCE INSIDE, IS TO USE THE KEY FOB. THIS CAN BE QUITE DANGEROUS IF NOT IN A GOOD AREA. THIS PROBLEM HAS DRAINED MY BATTERY ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED, HOWEVER, MOST FORD DEALERS WANT TO CHARGE CUSTOMERS $215 PLUS FOR DIAGNOSTIC FEES. ONLY THEN WILL THEY REPAIR THE PROBLEM. MY CAR IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY, SO I STILL WIND UP PAYING ABOUT WHAT IT COSTS TO REPAIR IT. (??) CAR PART STORES WILL RUN A DIAGNOSTIC FOR FREE... THIS SEEMS TO BE A CHRONIC ISSUE. WHEN I RESEARCHED IT, TONS OF INFORMATION ABOUT THIS SPECIFIC PROBLEM SURFACED. IT SEEMS FORD WILL NOT ISSUE A RECALL WHEN IT IS SO OBVIOUSLY NEEDED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD EDGE EQUIPPED WITH PIRELLI SCORPION STR TIRES, SIZE 245/50/R20. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE TIRE BLEW OUT FROM THE SIDEWALLS. THE CONTACT REPLACED THE TIRE WITH A SPARE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO REPLACED THE TIRE. THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AND REAR TIRES HAD BULGES. THE TIRES WERE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE VEHICLE AND TIRE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000.

CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED 2011 FORD EDGE LIMITED AWD. PURCHASED IN NOV. 2014. ON MONDAY, JUNE 8, 2015 AS I WAS DRIVING AT 55 MPH, A LIGHT CAME ON ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE LIGHT SAID "AWD OFF" AND HAD A LITTLE WRENCH SYMBOL ON IT. THE CAR ABRUPTLY LOST POWER AND I JUST COASTED OUT OF THE WAY OF TRAFFIC AND ONTO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BECAUSE THERE WAS NO SHOULDER. I TRIED TO PRESS THE GAS PEDAL BUT NOTHING HAPPENED--THERE WAS NO ACCELERATION. MY VEHICLE ESSENTIALLY "DIED" WITHOUT WARNING IN TRAFFIC. WEATHER CONDITIONS WERE SUNNY ABOUT 85 DEGREES. THE RADIO AND AC WORKED, BUT THE GAS PEDAL DID NOT. THE VEHICLE SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS GOING TO STALL OUT AND WAS SPUTTERING AS I COASTED. I PUT THE VEHICLE IN "PARK" AND TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF. I WAITED SEVERAL MINUTES AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE. VEHICLE SEEMED TO WORK OK AND NO WARNING LIGHTS CAME BACK ON AFTERWARDS. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND ARRANGED FOR ME TO HAVE MY CAR INSPECTED FOR THE CAUSE OF THIS MALFUNCTION. I PAID $111.30 FOR THE VEHICLE TO BE HOOKED TO A DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE BUT THE DEALERSHIP WAS UNABLE TO GET ANY "CODES" FROM A DIAGNOSTIC READING NOR COULD THE DEALER REPLICATE THE WARNING LIGHT TO COME ON. ON JUNE 24, 2015 THE SAME ISSUE HAPPENED AGAIN. I TOOK A PHOTO OF THE LIGHT ON THE DASH, SENT IT TO DEALERSHIP. THIRD TIME HAPPENED ON FRIDAY, JULY 10, 2015 AND I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY IN THE PASSING LANE AND HAD TO COAST ACROSS THE SLOW LANE TO GET OUT OF THE WAY OF TRAFFIC SO I WOULDN'T CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. AGAIN, I TOOK PHOTOS OF THE ODOMETER AND THE "AWD OFF" LIGHT AND SENT TO DEALERSHIP. DEALERSHIP SYS WITHOUT A CODE FROM DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE, THEY CAN'T TELL WHAT IS WRONG. FOURTH TIME HAPPEN LAST NIGHT, JULY 14, 2015. THIS IS A HUGE ISSUE AS FROM RESEARCHING ON THE INTERNET, A LOT OF OTHER FORD EDGE OWNERS EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM! PLEASE HELP! I FEEL LIKE I'M GETTING NO HELP!

FORD EDGE SUDDENLY LOST POWER ( VEHICLE STILL RUNNING). NO RESPONSE FROM ACCELERATOR EVEN THOUGH VEHICLE WAS STILL RUNNING. HAD TO ROLL TO SIDE OF ROAD (VERY UNSAFE). A WARNING LIGHT BRIEFLY CAME ON SHOWING ":AWD OFF" AND AFTER A FEW SECONDS WARNING CHANGED THE "WRENCH" ICON. THIS HAPPENED A SECOND TIME JUST A FEW HOURS LATER. I SCHEDULED APPOINTMENT WITH DEALER FOR THE NEXT DAY, AND IT HAPPEND AGAIN ON THE WAY TO THE DEALER. DEALER RAN CODES, ALL PASSED AND COULDN'T FIND ISSUE. IT HAPPENED AGAIN 10 MILES AFTER PICKING UP FROM THE DEALER. RESCHEDULED FOR NEXT DAY WITH DEALER. ISSUE HAPPENED YET AGAIN ON THE WAY TO THE DEALER. ONCE AGAIN DEALER COULD NOT FIND ISSUE OR ANY ERROR CODES. IN SUMMARY, IT HAPPENED 5 TIMES IN LESS THAN 30 MILES OF DRIVING. THIS VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE.

ON JUNE 12, 2015 MY 2011 FORD EDGE LIMITED EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS WITH THE LOCKS. THE CAR WILL NOT STAY LOCKED AND UNLOCKS ITSELF. WHETHER STOPPED IN TRAFFIC, DRIVING, AFTER TURNING OFF THE IGNITION, OR WALKING AWAY FROM THE CAR, IT UNLOCKS ITSELF AND SOMETIMES DOES IT CYCLICALLY. IT HAPPENS WHETHER I LOCK THE CAR MANUALLY OR WITH THE KEY FOB. IF I USE THE KEY FOB, WITHIN A FEW SECONDS IT WILL UNLOCK ITSELF AGAIN. IF I LOCK IT MANUALLY, IT MAY BE A FEW SECONDS OR A FEW MINUTES. IT CAUSES THE EXTERIOR PARKING AND HAZARD LIGHTS TO FLASH AND THE DOME LIGHT TO COME ON. IT IS NOT SAFE. I LIVE IN AN MAJOR CITY. THOUGH I HAVE A PUSH IGNITION THAT WON'T START OR OPERATE THE CAR WITHOUT THE KEY FOB PRESENT, I AM AFRAID THAT IF I LEAVE THE CAR SOMEONE COULD GET IN AND RANSACK/DAMAGE IT OR WORSE YET, GET IN AND WAIT FOR ME TO RETURN AND ATTACK ME AS I APPROACH OR OPEN THE CAR.
