2012 FORD EDGE Complaints

I WAS DRIVING SLOWLY DOWN A STREET AT ABOUT 20-30 MPH AND TRIED TO CLOSE MY SUNROOF AND THE PLASTIC THAT HOLDS IT INTO THE MOVING TRACK BROKE OFF LEAVING IT STUCK IN THE OPEN POSITION. I TOOK IT TO FORD THINKING THAT SINCE THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH THEIR EDGE CARS' ROOFS, THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO REPAIR IT. INSTEAD THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME $8,000 TO REPAIR THE WHOLE ROOF.

THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR LATCH WARNING LIGHT COME ON THE DASH WHEN YOU CLOSE THE DOOR AND WILL NOT GO OFF. UNTIL SEVERAL CLOSING ATTEMPS AND IT IS VERY ANNOYING BECAUSE THE OVERHEAD COURTESY LIGHTS AND THE WARNING CHIME CONTINUES EVERY FEW SECONDS.I FOUND THAT THIS PROBLEM IS CONTAGIOUS WITH THIS MAKE AND YEAR FORD. FORD NEEDS TO FIX THIS DEFECT AS MUCH AS I PAID FOR THE CAR I DON'T NEED THIS ADDED COST ($260) FOR REPAIR. THIS HAS BE HAPPENING FREQUENTLY FOR ABOUT NINE MONTHS. I HAVE BOUGHT SEVERAL FORD VEHICLES OVER THE YEARS AND THIS ONE IS A BUMMER. I HOPE THEY RECALL THIS ONE BEFORE I TRADE IT IN ON CHEVY.

WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS FILLED, THE ODOR OF GASOLINE IS VERY STRONG INSIDE THE VEHICLE TO THE POINT THAT IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. THE CAR MUST BE VENTED TO BE ABLE TO BREATHE. CAUSING HEADACHES AND FEAR OF ANY IGNITION OF THE FUMES. IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR THE LAST FOUR TIMES I HAVE FILLED MY TANK. THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE FOR OTHER 2012 EDGE'S BUT MINE IS NOT LISTED AND IT SHOULD BE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. I COULD BE KILLED.

MY BRAKES HAVE BEEN ROUTINELY SERVICED AND BRAKE BOOSTER REPLACED . THE PADDLE GOES ALL THE WAY TO FLOOR. I JUST HAD THE WORKS DONE LAST WEEK ON APRIL 10TH 2019 . WELL TODAY WE WEREN'T SO LUCKY. WE LEFT FOR VACATION AND IN VIRGINIA WE GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE THE BRAKES FAILED ON US .

PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY WHICH ALMOST RESULTED IN A SERIOUS CAR ACCIDENT BECAUSE THE BRAKING SYSTEM DID NOT ENGAGE. UNAWARE OF THE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT SPONGY BRAKES, NTB ATTEMPTED TO REPLACE HOSES AND MASTER CYLINDER TO NO AVAIL AFTER REPLACING THE MASTER CYLINDER THREE TIMES. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECT IN THE PARTS /SYSTEM SINCE QUALIFIED MECHANICS CAN'T FIX THE VEHICLE. CAR WILL BE TOWED TO A FORD DEALERSHIP BUT THEY HAVE ALREADY STARTED WITH DISCLAIMERS AND THAT THERE IS NO RECALL OR ISSUES WITH THE BRAKING SYSTEM DESPITE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS VERY PROBLEM . NHTSA NEEDS TO INTERVENE AND FORCE FORD TO RECALL THIS DEFECTIVE PART . LIVES CAN BE LOST UNNECESSARILY BECAUSE NO ONE HAS TAKEN ACTION ON BEHALF OF THE CONSUMER.

THE REAR DRIVER SIDE DOOR LATCH SENSOR DOES NOT DETECT WHEN THE DOOR IS CLOSED RESULTING IN A DOOR AJAR SIGNAL AND THE INTERNAL LIGHTS STAYING ON. ADDITIONALLY THE AUTO LOCK FUNCTION WHEN THE CAR IS DRIVING IS DISABLED.

1. WHEN VEHICLE PLACED IN PARK, P INDICATOR DOES NOT ILLUMINATE AND WHEN DOOR IS OPENED AN AUDIBLE ALARM IS SOUNDED AND A VISISBLE ALARM COMES UP ON THE GUAGES SAYING TO PLACE VEHICLE IN PARK. 2. WHEN PUTTING VEHICLE IN REVERSE, SONY DISPLAY GOES BLACKS AND DISPLAYS AN ERROR MESSAGE STATING THAT THE BACK UP CAMERA NEEDS TO BE INSPECTED. 3. DRIVER SIDE SEATBELT IS SLOW TO RETRACT. RECENTLY PURCHASED VEHICLE WITHIN LAST 6 MONTHS AND NOTICED SOME OF THESE ARE COMMON PROBLEMS THROUGHOUT THE FORD EDGE COMMUNITY.

AFTER STRONG BRAKING EVENT - BRAKE PEDAL BECAME VERY SOFT AND INCREASING PRESSURE ON THE PEDAL WAS REQUIRED TO STOP THE VEHICLE. TOOK INTO A FORD DEALER FOR REPAIR - BRAKE BOOSTER WAS REPLACED. A YEAR LATER AFTER A SIMILAR BRAKING EVENT - THE SAME SYMPTOMS RE-APPEARED. DEALER SAID IT WAS FAULTY BRAKE PAD INSTALL. PROBLEM PERSISTED. 2 OTHER INDEPENDENT MECHANICS REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER AND BLED THE SYSTEM. PROBLEM PERSISTED. NOW DEALER SAYS ITS THE HYDRAULIC CONTROL MODULE. HOWEVER IT WOULD APPEAR TO BE THE BOOSTER AGAIN. THIS SEEMS TO BE A FAULTY PART THAT FORD WILL NOT ADMIT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED.

DOOR AJAR LIGHT IS ON TELLING DRIVER TO SHIFE TO PARK DOOR LOCKS WILL NOT STAY LOADED WHEN DRIVING, SO ANYONE CAN OPEN CAR DOOR WHILE TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD , THIS IS NOT SAFE FOR SOMEONE MAY OPEN DOOR AND FALL OUT OR IF YOUR AT TRAFFIC LIGHT SOMEONE OUT SIDE OF CAR CAN OPEN DOOR, THIS IS UNSAFE , YOU STAND A CHANCE OF BEING CAR JACKKED OR SOME OTHER BAD THINGS CAN HAPPEN. I'D SAY CAR IS UNSAFE AND THE PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. I HAD FORD DEALER CHECK IT OUT AND SAID IT NEEDS A DRIVER DOOR LATCH ASSY. REPLACED THIS PROBLEM HAD OCCURRED ON AND OFF OVER THE PASS YEAR OR SO BUT WOULD SEEM TO FIX IT SELFWITH IN A FEW MILES BUT NOW IT STAYS ON

INTERMITTENT LOSS OF BRAKES. BRAKE PEDDLE GOES TO THE FLOOR BOARD. ALSO ENGINE HAS NOW DIED TWICE WHEN IDLING ONCE AT A STOP, ONCE WHILE PARKED.
