2020 FORD EDGE Complaints

The contact owns a 2020 Ford Edge. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the transmission unexpectedly downshifted. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and was diagnosed and determined that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 85,000.

Ford designed the vehicle with soy based insulation on the wires in the wiring harness, this attracts rodents which eat away at the wiring harness. Ford is aware of this but refuses to compensate or repair the damage. When the harness is compromised the tail lights, passenger airbag, passenger seatbelt and cross traffic warning indicators do not work. This presents multiple safety issues. The vehicle has been diagnosed by ford stating the damage was caused by rodents entering the passenger compartment through the outside vent of the heating system. My vehicle has been repaired three times for the same issue. Ford has refused to warrantee any damage and has tld me to turn it in to my insurance which I had done. this has caused my insurance premium to increase due to the claim. I have all the documentation from the occurrences and the transcript of my conversation with Ford customer service. I want at minimum the vehicle fixed or replaced at Fords expense. Previously Ford had spoken with my insurance company and told them the harness needed to be spliced, they did not replace the entire harness this caused the rodents to return and damage more of the harness..

Passenger seat harness locks up with no sudden breaking or any collision. Have to unbuckle, let it retract, then pull back over passenger. Bought used with approximately 14,000 miles on it. If there should be an accident, passenger may be pinned.

Front camera malfunction, not available. I’ve tried to reset by disconnecting the battery for over an hour. Will not reset. Every time I start my vehicle I get the warning. Cleaned the windshield and that has not helped. I have 25,000 miles on my 2020 Ford Edge.

The contact owns a 2020 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while driving in third gear, the transmission was skipping and the vehicle shuddered. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where the failure could not be replicated. The vehicle was then taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the torque converter had failed and needed to be replaced. The dealer informed the contact that the vehicle was not covered under warranty due to the mileage. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 60,200.

Rear Drive Unit/Differential has failed. This is the second time in 4 years that it has failed leading to drivetrain issues to the rear wheels. I'm not sure how significant an incident would be if the Rear Power Transfer Unit fails while drive at highway speeds. Ford has released Technical Service Bulletins for the problem, so they are aware that there is an ongoing issue. Yet is is the owners responsibility to make the repairs. I have attached a copy of the receipt from the first repair. The vehicle is currently at the same dealership for the same issue. This time, the dealer claims I need to replace the entire Rear Drive Unit at my expense.

Power Train has failed multiple times on this vehicle. It loses power on the highway, reverses when in drive, and does not shift down to make the vehicle slow to a safe speed. This puts me and others in danger because you can not predict that or when there will be a failure that hits a person or other car. This has been taken to a mechanic and confirmed as power train failure in a 4 year old, 100K mile car. Ford claims no recalls even though the same recall exists for other makes and models of the same kind with different VINS. Has thrown multiple codes.

The contact owns a 2020 Ford Edge. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle sputtered abnormally. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was restarted; however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the torque converter had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue and referred the contact to the NHSTA Hotline for assistance. The approximate failure mileage was 86,000.

The Forward Collision Warning system became inoperative because of a failed electronic module. The dealership indicated that the self test ipma code u3009-49 test diagnostic called for the ipma replacement and programing. The failure of this component endangers pedestrians, other vehicles and passengers by failing to stop the vehicle when an imminent collision is about to occur. Given the 63,000 kilometres of this vehicle when the module failed, its expected life of 250,000 kilometres, the cost of replacing this component during its life, at more than 20% of the purchase price of the vehicle, is ridiculously high.

The contact owns a 2020 Ford Edge. The contact stated that after the dealer overfilled the engine oil during an oil change, there was smoke coming from the rear end of the vehicle while driving. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer, and the engine oil was changed a second time. The contact stated that after the dealer redid the oil change, the "Pre-Collision Assist Not Available" message displayed on the Ford App. Additionally, the vehicle lost motive power while driving. The "Power Train Malfunction" message was displayed, and the air bag warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was then taken to Ken Garff Ford Ft. Collins (4809 S College Ave, Fort Collins, CO 80525); where the battery was replaced; however, the failure persisted. Ken Garff Ford Ft. Collins was made aware of the failure; however, the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 30,000.
