2014 FORD EDGE Complaints

DOOR AJAR / TRANSMISSION NOT IN PARK SENSOR IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. UNSAFE CONDITION NOT KNOWING IF DOOR LOCK SYSTEM IS WORKING PROPERLY. HAVE TO STOP NUMEROUS TIME WHILE DRIVING TO CHECK IF DOOR IS ACTUALLY CLOSED AND LOCKED. ALSO WILL NOT ALLOW INTERIOR LIGHTS TO GO OFF, AND IS SAFETY ISSUE WHEN TRYING TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO SEE DUE TO LOST OF NIGHT VISION. FORD MOTOR KNOWS OF THE ISSUES FOR YEARS BUT REFUSES TO CORRECT ISSUE VIA A RECALL. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 31,000 MILES ON IT.

INTERMITTENT DOOR AJAR WARNING AND CANNOT LOCK DOORS AND DOME LIGHT STAYS ON. FORD HAS A CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM (19N09) FOR THIS ISSUE BUT THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT MY VIN NUMBER DOES NOT QUALIFY FOR THIS EVEN THOUGH THE DOOR PARTS ARE THE SAME PART NUMBER FROM 2011 THROUGH 2014.

POWER TAKE OFF ASSEMBLY FAILED ACCORDING TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE AND THEY CAN RANDOMLY FAIL REGARDLESS OF MILEAGE AND CAN ACTUALLY EXPLODE AND WIPE THE TRANSMISSION OUT AND IF THAT WAS TO HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING COULD BE DISASTROUS ON THE HIGHWAY BUT FORTUNATELY THAT DID NOT HAPPEN BUT COULD HAVE FORD NEEDS TO RECALL AND FIX THIS ISSUE

DRIVERS SIDE SEAT AND PASSENGER SEAT APPEAR TO BE LOOSE AND ROCK BACK AND FORTH WHEN STARTING AND STOPPING QUICK AND IT HAS BEEN REPORTED TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES AT SERVICE AND NOTHING SEEMS TO BE DONE TO FIX IT AND IT HAS BEEN THAT WAY SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED AND IT HAD WARRANTY LEFT AT THAT TIME AND ALSO EXTENDED WARRANTY WAS PURCHASED IN 2016

DRIVER DOOR AJAR LIGHT REMAINS ON WHEN DOOR IS COMPLETELY CLOSED AND INTERIOR LIGHTS REMAIN ON. SAFETY HAZARD WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT ALSO A DRAIN ON THE BATTERY. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN PROBLEM OCCURRED BUT COULD NOT RESOLVE AND HAD TO DRIVE WITH INTERIOR LIGHTS ON AT NIGHT.

AFTER STOPPING AND PUTTING THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT LEVER IN PARK, A MESSAGE WILL APPEAR ON THE DASH THAT SAYS THE TRANSMISSION IS NOT IN PARK. BUT IT IS. YOU CAN CLICK THE SHIFT SWITCH AND THE MESSAGE WILL GO OUT WITHIN 5-10 SECONDS. EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE IT WILL STAY ON FOR CLOSE TO 30 SECONDS. THE MESSAGE DOESN'T COME UP CONSTANTLY. USUALLY ABOUT EVERY COUPLE OF TIMES YOU STOP AND PARK. YOU NEVER KNOW IF THE TRANSMISSION IS REALLY IN PARK. YOU HAVE TO ASSUME THAT IT IS. ONE OF THESE TIMES IT REALLY WILL NOT BE AND SOMEONE WILL GET HURT. THE DEALER DOESN'T WANT TO FIX IT UNTIL IT COMES ON CONSTANTLY. NOW IT IS ONLY INTERMITTENT. FORD HAS A TSB ON THE PROBLEM. BUT THEY WANT THE CUSTOMER TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR. IT COVERS SEVERAL FORD MODELS OVER SEVERAL YEARS. TO ME THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE OWNER NEVER REALLY KNOWS IF THE TRANSMISSION IS IN PARK OR NOT. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING ON MY VEHICLE FOR OVER A YEAR NOW.

POWER SEAT ASSEMBLY IS BROKEN AND IT LOOKS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM AND IT NEEDS ADDRESSED ASAP BEFORE SOMEONE GET KILLED. MY FAMILY AND I WERE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AND THE SEAT MADE A VERY FAST "ZIP" OR "RATCHETING" NOISE AND IMMEDIATELY TILTED BACKWARDS SEVERAL INCHES CAUSING ME TO SWERVE ALL OVER THE ROAD BUT GAINED CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. IN MY SEARCH OF THIS PROBLEM, I FOUND IT WAS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND A VERY EXPENSIVE FIX ALL THE WHILE FORD KNOWING ABOUT IT, BUT NOT FIXING THE WEAK PROBLEMS CAUSING THIS. THIS IS 100% A SAFETY FACTOR FOR EVERYONE ON THE ROADWAYS AND IT NEEDS ADDRESSED NOW BEFORE IT BECOMES A STATISTIC WITH INJURIES OR WORSE GRAVESTONES. THE PART AT FIRST GLANCE AND EDUCATED GUESS IS TO BE THE MOTOR DRIVE GEARS OR WHAT FORD IS CALLING "RAILS". THEY EXPECT YOU TO PURCHASE THE WHOLE "SEAT ADJUSTER" BT4Z-7861711-D FOR WHAT IS 100% A ROAD SAFETY HAZARD.

THE REAR BACKUP CAMERA FAILED AFTER 5 YEARS. IT WOULD NOT PRESENT A PROPER IMAGE ON THE SCREEN IN THE DASHBOARD, RATHER IT SHOWED AN IMAGE THAT WAS UPSIDE DOWN OR IT WAS JUST BLANK. DEALER SAID IT WAS FORM NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR (?) AND IT WAS OVER $1K TO REPAIR. SINCE IT IS RELIED UPON WHEN BACKING UP THE VEHICLE, IT PRESENTED A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE TO NOT HAVE IT OPERATE PROPERLY.
