2012 FORD EDGE Complaints

BRAKES ROUTINELY WILL GO ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND MAKES STOPPING CAR DIFFICULT. TOOK CAR TO FORD WHO ONLY SAID THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE BRAKE ISSUE AFTER KEEPING MY VEHICLE FOR 2 WEEKS. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR OVER 2 YEARS. FORD REPLACED BRAKE BOOSTER IN 2014 ON A RECALL. BRAKES WORKED FINE FOR A FEW YEARS AND WENT BACK TO NOT FULLY STOPPING THE VEHICLE. DOESN'T DO IT ALL THE TIME BUT HAPPENS FREQUENTLY. IF I PUMP THE BRAKES ENOUGH AT A STOP LIGHT THEY WILL WORK FOR A WHILE WITH NO ISSUES. I CAN'T DRIVE THE VEHICLE FREQUENTLY BECAUSE OF THE DANGER IT POSES IF THE BRAKES SHOULD NOT WORK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR LIGHTS CEASED TO OPERATE, WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND PARKED AT A LOCAL GAS STATION. THE CONTACT HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO EVERGREEN FORD LINCOLN (1500 18TH AVE NW, ISSAQUAH, WA 98027) WHERE THEY DISCOVERED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD A DEFECTIVE WIRING HARNESS THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER OFFERED TO REPLACE THE WIRING HARNESS WITH A USED ONE HOWEVER, THE CONTACT DECLINED THE REPAIR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED.

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK, GOIN 45MPH APPROACHING ACTIVE RAILROAD CROSSING, MY VEHICLE STARTED TO MISFIRE & WENT FROM 40- 20 MPH, LUCKILY I STOPPED BEFORE THE TRACKS BCZ AS SOON AS I DID THE LIGHTS CAME IN FOR A TRAIN. MY CAR COULD HAVE BROKE DOWN ON THE TRACKS IF I DIDN'T STOP. SO WHILE WAITING FOR THE TRAIN TO PASS, I TURNED MY CAR OFF AND BACK ON TO SEE IF IT WAS JUST A RANDOM BUT IT CONTINUED TO MISFIRE AND WHEN IT WAS SAFE FOR ME TO TCROSS THE TRAX, I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT BUT MY VEHICLE WOULD GET TO10MPH. I PULLED OVER & HAD MY VEHICLE TOWED TO THE CIOCCA DEALERSHIP, WHICH IT HAS BEEN FOR THE LAST MONTH BEC APPARENTLY THE POWER TRAIN CONTROL MODULE MALFUNCTIONED AND BURT OUT 3 OUT OF 6 COILS. THE REPAIRS FOR THIS WILL COST ME OVER $4000.00 WHICH IS NOT SOMETHING I CAN AFFORD. I HAVE A "POWER TRAIN" WARRANTY THAT WON'T COVER A FAULTY DEFECTIVE "POWER TRAIN CONTROL MODULE"?? MATTER OF FACT, IT WON'T COVER ANYTHING AT ALL TO HELP EASE MY COST. AND THE WORST PART, I HAVE ONLY OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR 1 1/2 YEARS. NOT EVEN 2 YEARS. THIS CAR WAS A ISSUE FROM THE MOMENT I DROVE IT OFF THE LOT AND NOW SINCE I CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY FOR THE DEFECTIVE MODULE....THE DEALERSHIP SAYS TO ME, I SHOULD JUST RECONSIDER THIS CAR ALL TOGETHER BCZ IT NEEDS A LOT DONE FOR INSPECTION THIS MONTH...?? LIKE I OWNED IT FOR NOT EVEN 2 YEARS ..I HAVE 4 MORE YEARS ON A LOAN THAT THEY WON'T PAY OFF SO I CAN BUT ANOTHER CAR? HOW DOES THIS EVEN FALL ON ME WHEN I WAS SOLD PIECE IF JUNK WITH A PRETTY FACE BASICALLY.. I WAS OUT INTO A UNSAFE PREDICAMENT DUE TO A FAULTY DEFECTIVE MODULE THAT MALFUNCTIONED IN THE MIDDLE OF ME DRIVING WITH NO WARNING WHAT SO EVER. FORD AND THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED NOT FROM(NOT THE DEALERSHIP I TOWED IT TO) HAVE BEEN COMPLETELY 110% UNHELPFUL..LIKE THEY WON'T EVEN RETURN MY PHONE CALLS AND WHEN I CALL THEY LEAVE ME ON HOLD FOR HOURS UNTIL I HANG UP AND CALL BACK.

BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR AND BRAKES ARE ALMOST ENTIRELY DISENGAGED. THIS HAPPENED INTERMITTENTLY AT FIRST BUT NOW SEEMS PERMANENT, RENDERING VEHICLE UNSAFE FOR USE. THIS PROBLEM NEARLY RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT. WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL MECHANIC AND MASTER CYLINDER WAS REPLACED, THIS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. BRAKE FLUID IS GOOD AND CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM IS UNKNOWN. CAR IS CURRENTLY PARKED AS WE DO NOT KNOW HOW TO PROCEED SAFELY. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS MOVING AT ANY SPEED OR DIRECTION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TURBO CHARGER FAILED WHILE DRIVING. THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO PAUL CLARK FORD (464046 STATE RD 200, YULEE, FL 32097) AND WAS DIAGNOSED THAT A NEW CATALYTIC CONVERTOR WAS NEEDED PRIOR TO REPLACING THE TURBO CHARGER. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT UNDER RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER PROVIDED A CASE NUMBER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 125,000.

THIS IS THE 2ND TIME SINCE PURCHASING THIS 2012 FORD EDGE THAT I HAVE EXPERIENCED LOSS OF BRAKES. THE 1ST TIME THE BRAKE BOOSTER NEEDED REPLACED. I AM NOW DEALING WITH THE SAME PROBLEM 3 OR SO YEARS LATER. THIS HAPPENED LAST NIGHT ON MY WAY TO SCHOOL WHICH ALMOST RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT. I'M NOW MISSING 2 DAYS OF SCHOOL IN ORDER TO FIND SOMEONE CAPABLE OF FIXING THIS. THIS OBVIOUSLY IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND NOT UNDERSTANDING WHY THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS COMPONENT. THIS NEAR ACCIDENT OCCURRED ON A CITY STREET, HOWEVER MY ROUTE HOME WAS ALSO ON THE HIGHWAY

WELL LIKE ANYONE YOU ARE OVERJOYED WHEN YOU PURCHES A CAR OFF THE LOT HOWEVER MINE HAS BEEN A NIGHTMARE , I BROUGHT A VEHCLE FOR 5,000 FROM ARGENT MOTORS AND I ONLY BROUGHT THE CAR BECAUSE THE SALESMAN TOLD ME THAT THE WATERPUMP WAS DAMAGED HOWEVER 32 MINUTES AFTER LEAVING THIS CAR LOT MY ENGINE WENT ON MY TRUCK SO MY ENGINE BLEW IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NEW JERSEY TURNPIKE , I HAD A NEWBORN BABY ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD FOR OVER TWO HOUR ONCE I WAITED FOR THE TOW TRUCK I CALLED THE CAR LOT AND THE OWNER BASICALLY TOLD ME HE'LL SEE ME IN COURT . THEY KNEW THIS TRUCK WASNT DRIVEABLE THEY KNEW IT WAS UNSAFE WHEN I PUT MY CHILDREN IN AND DROVE OFF

FIRST THE MASTER CYLINDER WENT, THEN THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND NOW THE HYDROLIC CONTROL UNIT. EACHPART MORE EXPENSIVE THENTHE LAST AND THE LAST BEING 2119.20 TO REPAIR. THE ENTIRE BRAKING SYSTEM, PARTS I WAS TOLD SHOULD NOT BREAK. I HAVE BEEN TOLD, BY A REPUTABLE MECHANIC THAT OFTEN WHEN REPLACING THE BRAKE BOOSTER, THE LINES ARE IMPROPERLY BLED ANDAIR GETS INTO THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM. UPON FARTHER RESEARCH ON LINE INTO THE ISSUE, THERE ARE PAGE AFTER PAGE OF THE SAME COMPLAINT.

WHILE ATTEMPTING TO COME TO A STOP OR SLOW AT HIGHWAY SPEED OR IN A PARKING LOT THE BRAKE PEDAL LOOSES PRESSURE AND GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WITHOUT EFFECTIVELY SLOWING OR STOPPING THE VEHICLE. I HAVE BEEN VERY CLOSE TO SMASHING OTHER DRIVERS DUE TO THE BRAKE MALFUNCTION. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE LOCAL MECHANIC AND HE SAID HE HAS A FORD CAR THAT HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND IT WAS RECALLED.
