2017 FORD EDGE Complaints

COMMON ISSUE WITH PURGE VALVE TO BE LEAKING AND IS NOT IN THE MANUFACTURER WARRANTY ACCORDING TO THEM DOES NOT ALLOW VEHICLE TO GET CORRECT MPG. VEHICLE WILL STUDDER AT IDLE OR AFTER FUEL FILL UP. WILL STUDDER AT STOPS AS IT IS LACKING CORRECT FUEL PRESSURE, BUT WONT THROW CODE. DEALER IS AWARE OF ISSUE WITH IT BEING COMMON TO THE VEHICLE BUT IS TRYING TO CHARGE HUNDREDS TO THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FOR REPAIR.

2017 FORD EDGE TITANIUM 57000 MILES POWER STEERING HAS STOPPED AND FORD WILL NOT HELP. THE CAR STILL RUNS AND I AM DRIVING WITHOUT POWER STEERING. LOCAL FORD SAYS $ 3000.00 TO FIX. WARNING LIGHTS OF: "HILL START ASSIST NOT AVAILABLE"... (NEVER HAD IT ANYWAY). "STEERING ASSIST FAULT - SERVICE REQUIRED" "SERVICE ADVANCE TRAC" - DASHBOARD ICON "STABILITY CONTROL OFF" - DASHBOARD ICON... THESE WARNINGS ARE ON EVERYTIME I DRIVE THE CAR.. THIS STARTED AND FIRST HAPPENED IN MID FEB. 2020. IT HAPPENED WHEN I WAS BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE. AFTER A FEW FEET IT SORT OF STALLED. I RESTARTED AND NOTICED IMMEDIATELY THE LIGHTS AND LACK OF POWER STEERING. ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED. $3000.00 IS A LOT OF MONEY AND I AM SURPRISED AT THE COST, LACK OF HELP FROM FORD AND THE FACT THAT IT IS STILL RUNNING. OTHER WISE IT IS A GREAT CAR ! I HAVE GONE TO YOUTUBE AND DISCOVERED SOME ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS FROM OTHERS BUT NOTHING SPECIFIC. ANY HELP IS GREAT. THANKS.

I HAVE HAD MY CAR IN THE SHOP FOR 3 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS WITH THE CAR HAVING NO POWER THAT SOMETHING IS DRAINING THE BATTERY. ALSO THE BACK BRAKE LIGHT HAS MOISTURE AND IS GETTING WORSE. THE 3 TIMES THAT MY CAR LOST ALL POWER WAS WHILE IT WAS PARKED, IT WAS COLD OUTSIDE AND RAINY.

ON 02/20/2020 WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON A CITY STREET AND APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND WAS DIFFICULT TO STOP. SHORTLY AFTER A INDICATOR LIGHT SHOWED THAT MY BRAKE FLUID LEVEL WAS LOW. THE VEHICLE WAS LIMPED HOME AND PARKED IN DRIVEWAY. THE NEXT MORNING THERE WAS A LARGE PUDDLE OF BRAKE FLUID UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE. THERE WAS OBVIOUS BRAKE FLUID COVERING THE INSIDE FRONT PASSENGER FENDER WELL. UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE THERE WAS BRAKE FLUID THAT HAD SPRAYED THE FRONT TIRE AND UNDERNEATH VEHICLE. THERE WAS BRAKE FLUID DRIPPING FROM THE BRAKE LINE WITH NO OBVIOUS DAMAGE NOTED ANYWHERE ELSE. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO A FORD SERVICE CENTER. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE RUBBER BRAKE LINE GOING TO THE CALIPER HAD RUPTURED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED TRAVELING TO THE FLOOR BOARD FAILING TO STOP THE VEHICLE, AS A RESULT REAR ENDING THE VEHICLE IN FRONT CAUSING IT TO COLLIDE WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE. NO WARNING LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED. NO VEHICLE OCCUPANTS SUSTAINED INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO DEALER OR LOCAL MECHANIC FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO RAVENEL FORD (6340 SAVANNAH HWY, RAVENEL, SC 294700) APPROXIMATELY A MONTH AGO FOR BRAKE ISSUES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE THE BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR WAS REPLACED DUE TO THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 34,000.

MY VEHICLE WAS PARKED. I USED THE AUTO START. LET IT RUN FOR 2 MINUTES OR SO. I WENT TO THE VEHICLE, PUT MY PERSONAL PROPERTY IN THE FRONT SEAT. CLOSED THE DOOR. WENT TO THE BACKSEAT TO GRAB AN ICE SCRAPER, TO CLEAN OFF THE CAR. CLOSED THE DOOR, AND THE BACK WINDOW CAVED IN. I AM NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE. I COULD HAVE HAD MY DOGS IN THE BACK OF THE CAR. WHAT HAPPENS IF THE FULL PIECE OF GLASS THAT IS MY ROOF CAVES IN? MY CHILD HAS NOW ASKED IF THE WINDSHIELD COULD CAVE IN?

THE CAR IS MAKING A RUMBLING NOISE WHEN IDLING AND AT LOW SPEEDS.

WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK WHEN I REALIZED MY BRAKE HAD DECOMPRESSED AND WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOORBOARD. GOT HOME AND MY HUSBAND NOTICED I HAD BRAKE FLUID ALL OVER UNDERNEATH MY VEHICLE. MY LEFT PASSENGER SIDE BRAKE LINE BURST WHILE DRIVING, CAUSING THE BRAKE PEDAL TO DEPRESS ALL THE WAY TO FLOOR AND MAKING THE VEHICLE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO STOP (BY THE TIME I MADE IT HOME IT WAS HARDLY STOPPING AT ALL). FORD WOULD NOT USE MY WARRANTY TO REPLACE THEY SAID I HIT SOMETHING. ON (12/20/2019) DRIVING HOME FROM WORK THIS TIME THE FRONT PASSENGER BRAKE LINE SEEMS TO HAVE BURST. (AGAIN WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKE THIS TIME AT A STOP LIGHT ON A CITY STREET) AND AGAIN CAUSING THE PEDAL TO GO ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND MAKING THE CAR EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO STOP. THIS IS A HAZARDOUS SITUATION AND VERY CONCERNING THAT IT HAS OCCURRED TO WITH MY BRAKE LINES TWICE WITHIN THE PAST YEAR, AND ALL WHILE THE CAR WAS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD AND HAD ONLY 45,000 MILES. THIS IS A PROBLEM I BELIEVE FORD NEEDS TO ADDRESS, FROM WHAT I HAVE GATHERED ONLINE THIS IS AN ISSUE QUITE A FEW OTHERS HAVE FACED.

EXHAUST FUMES ENTERING VEHICLE CABIN IMMEDIATELY AFTER ENGINE START, REVERSING VEHICLE, OR SIMPLY IDLING. THERE ALREADY EXISTS A TSB, 18-2057 FOR EXHAUST ODOR IN VEHICLE FOR THIS YEAR FORD EDGE. THIS VEHICLE IS IN PERFECT CONDITIONS AND HAS NO ACCIDENT HISTORY. FORD LINCOLN OF FRANKLIN (TN) WILL REQUIRE NEARLY $1000 TO PERFORM TSB 18-2057, WHICH IS AT BEST A GUESSING GAME AS TO WHERE THE FUMES ENTER VEHICLE! AT THIS POINT, I'M SURE FORD MOTOR COMPANY KNOWS WHERE THE FLAW IS, JUST LIKE THEY DENY EXHAUST FUMES IN THE FORD EXPLORER.

THE STATIONARY SUNROOF PANEL CRACKED BUT THERE IS NO IMPACT DAMAGE. APPEARS JUST TO HAVE CRACKED. BECAUSE THERE WAS NO IMPACT, I'M UNSURE OF SPECIFICALLY WHEN THIS HAPPENED, JUST NOTICED IT WHEN I OPENED I OPENED THE SUNROOF LAST TIME.
