2011 FORD EDGE Complaints

Vehicle stahls about 50% time in reverse when parking mainly, and in forward when parking. Very scary and I have only had this vehicle for 1.5 months. Repairs have been made according to CEL codes; however, the stalling does not report the code, so it occurs over and over. Very scared this will happen and cause an accident. Based on numerous forums who had the same car and instance - it is the throttle body.

I have had a Soft brake pedal issue ever since I purchased the car in 2012. Because of the soft brake pedal the driving experience is awful. I do more coasting driving that actual driving sine I have to make room for the soft pedal to be applied. My heart sinks when I have to abruptly brake when cut off by another driver and the brakes hesitate to react precisely. If it weren't for coasting I'd be in multiple accidents already. Instead I've put up with coasting driving experience which is a really horrible experience for me and the guy in back of me. I have had my brakes bled, pads and rotors changed multiple times to rectify the issue to no avail. I am addressing this issue because research suggests that it is a failed abs Hydraulic Unit and has described my braking situation perfectly. I've even had the situation temporarily fixed after an abs event, but it only last for less than a week then it goes back to being soft. This actually happened only one time. I believe this is a matter of safety and confidence behind the wheel which I have not benefited from since owning the vehicle.

Driving at night is very dangerous as my headlights are extremely dim (even with new bulbs). The high beams are no better as they don't illuminate the road far enough or bright enough to see objects at night more than 100 feet away. I get anxiety driving at night because I can't see much and this is a problem with Ford Edges of various years with halogen bulbs. Many have had to buy conversion kits to install HID lights because the headlights are so bad. There are several online forums of Edge owners who are very dissatisfied in the quality and safety of the headlights. I believe this is a very serious safety concern and that a recall should be placed on the vehicle. Car owners should not have to spend hundreds of dollars to modify a brand new or used vehicle because the headlights don't illuminate well enough to drive safely.

Door ajar warning will not turn off there for door will not lock till vehicle thinks the door is shut even though it is shut. wares out battery continuously.

I purchased my 2011 Ford edge limited 4/28/21...Every since this car has gave me hell. Both Cadillac converters keep going on, the heat shield is constantly rattling, and the switch to the wiper is bad.

I went to apply my brake pedal and they went all the way to the floor of the truck. There were no warning lamps what so ever. My vehicle was not stopping as it should have and I almost crashed into the car ahead of me. The light turned green and I was able to pull into a parking lot and bump a crub.
