2012 FORD EDGE Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE BRAKES WOULD NOT ENGAGE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT STATED NO WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER, THE THROTTLE BODY, AND THE BRAKE BOOSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE WITH THE BRAKES RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD BEEN INFORMED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY, NO ASSISTANCE WOULD BE OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 90,118.

THIS COMPLAINT IS REGARDING THE VISTA PANORAMA SUNROOF. WHILE TRYING TO CLOSE MY SUNROOF, I STARTED HEARING LOUD POPPING SOUNDS. I HAD TO TAKE MY CAR TO A MECHANIC TO GET THE SUNROOF CLOSED. I WAS LATER INFORMED THAT THE CLIPS ON THE GUIDES WERE BOTH BROKEN. NEEDLESS TO SAY, FORD IS MANUFACTURING CHEAP TRACKS THAT ARE HELD TOGETHER WITH PLASTIC CLIPS DESIGNED TO MOVE VERY HEAVY GLASS BACK AND FORTH. THIS IS UNTENABLE. I HAVE RESEARCHED NUMEROUS OTHER CUSTOMERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE WITH VERY LITTLE AFFORDABLE RESOLUTIONS.

MY VEHICLE EXHIBITS ILLUMINATED DOME LIGHTS AND DOOR AJAR MESSAGES WHEN DOORS ARE FULLY CLOSED. I GET ERROR MESSAGES INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING OF DOOR AJAR NOTIFICATION AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WILL COME ON UNEXPECTEDLY WHILE DRIVING. THE INTERIOR DOME LIGHTS ALSO STAY ILLUMINATED EVEN WHEN I HAVE TURNED THE CAR OFF AND LOCKED THE DOORS, DRAINING BATTERY. I HAVE RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF FORD'S VOLUNTARY EXTENSION OF DOOR LATCH WARRANTY THROUGH JULY 2020. THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT. MY CAR BEGAN EXHIBITING THE DEFECT IN NOVEMBER 2020. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS I AM ALARMED AND CANNOT SEE WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTS SUDDENLY POP ON. I ALSO FEAR MY CHILD WILL OPEN THE DOOR WHILE DRIVING AS THE "LOCK" FEATURE IS UNRELIABLE DUE TO THE DEFECT. IN ADDITION, IT IS UNSAFE FOR ME TO PARK MY VEHICLE AT NIGHT NOT KNOWING IF I WILL HAVE A DRAINED BATTERY LATER BECAUSE THERE IS NO WAY TO SHUT OFF THE INTERIOR LIGHTS.

HEADLIGHTS HAVE BURNED OUT 3 TIMES IN THE PAST 2 YEARS. BOTH HEADLIGHTS BURN OUT. BOTH HIGH AND LOW BEAMS BURN OUT AT THE SAME TIME. BOTH HEADLIGHTS WERE REPLACED WITHIN 3 MONTHS AND 1 HAS ALREADY BURNED OUT. THE DEALER IS RECOMMENDING REPLACEMENT OF BOTH ASSEMBLIES AT ACOST OF 1400+. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN INVOLVED IN ANY ACCIDENT INVOLVING THIS AREA.

ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS OVER THE FEW YEARS WE'VE OWNED THIS VEHICLE WE HAVE EXPERIENCED AN ALMOST COMPLETE LOSS OF BREAKING POWER JUST TRAVELING STRAIGHT ON A CITY ROAD OR PARKING LOT. THE BREAKS WILL SUDDENLY BECOME VERY SOFT AND ONLY BEGIN TO WORK WITH THE PEDAL MASHED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. WE HAVE NARROWLY AVOIDED AN ACCIDENT EACH TIME BECAUSE WE WERE AT VERY LOW SPEEDS BUT CAN ONLY IMAGINE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF WE HAD BEEN TRAVELING AT FREEWAY SPEEDS. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE IT APPEARS IT HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FOR MANY FORD OWNERS SINCE 2012 BUT THEY HAVE IGNORED THE SAFETY CONCERNS.

I HAD MY BRAKE BOOSTER REPLACED ABOUT A YEAR AGO. ABOUT 4 MONTHS AGO MY BRAKE PEDAL WAS GOING TO THE FLOOR. TOOK IT TO THE FORD DEALER BUT THE BRAKES WERE OK AGAIN. THEY SAID THEY COULD DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. 2 WEEKS AGO SAME PROBLEM PEDAL GOING THE FLOOR, NOW SPONGY PEDAL. HAD A NEW BRAKE HOSE PUT ON AND THE BRAKES BLED AND IT IS STILL SPONGY. TROUBLE STOPPING VERY DANGEROUS!!

2012 FORD EDGE. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO ABS SYSTEM FAILURE. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE HYDRAULIC CONTROL MODULE, MASTER CYLINDER, AND BRAKE BOOSTER FAILED SIMULTANEOUSLY. THE CONSUMER STATED THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL.*JS

THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THE HARMONIC BALANCE ON THE 2012 FORD. THE PART IS OUT OF STOCK AND BACKORDERED EVERY WHERE.

MY VEHICLE HAS 98000 MILES ON IT AND FORD HAS STATED IT NEEDS A ABS CONTROL UNIT THAT'S A COST OF $2000.00. MY BRAKES ARE AWFUL. I PAID FOR A BRAKE BOOSTER & MASTER CYLINDER I DIDN'T NEED. MY LATCH WENT AND THAT COST A LOT OF MONEY LEFT FRONT DOOR NOW MY BACK UP CAMERA DOESN'T WORK. WHAT'S NEXT???
