2014 FORD EDGE Complaints

DOOR AJAR LIGHT COMES ON WITH DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR, EVEN THOUGH DOOR IS CLOSED. THIS IN TURN CAUSES THE LIGHTS TO REMAIN ON INSIDE, CAUSING THE BATTERY TO DRAIN IF NOT NOTICED. THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT KEEPS THE DOORS FROM LOCKING, AND CAN BE A SAFETY ISSUE. THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES NOW.

I NOTICED OIL ON MY GARAGE FLOOR FROM MY WIFE'S FORD EDGE. I TOOK IT IN TO MY LOCAL FORD DEALER AND WAS TOLD I NEED A NEW P T U.THIS SUV ONLY HAS 64,000 AND SOME MILES. I HAD THE PART REPLACED TO THE TUNE OF $2100.00 PLUS. I HAVE SINCE FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS A COMMON PART TO GO BAD ON THE FORD EDGE.I FEEL THIS PART IS DEFECTIVE IN DESIGN OR DEFECTIVE BECAUSE THE PARTS ARE NOT BUILT STRONG ENOUGH TO DO THE JOB.FORD KNOWS THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE P T U BUT WILL NOT OFFER ANY HELP TO THE CONSUMER.

VEHICLE LOST ENGINE POWER IN TRAFFIC ON A CITY STREET WITH SPEED LIMIT OF 35 MPH. I COASTED TO A STOP AS I COULD NOT ACCELERATE. I HAD TO PULL TO SIDE OF ROAD AND TURN OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTART IT. I WAS ONLY ABLE TO GO ABOUT 1 BLOCK BEFORE IT HAPPENED AGAIN. SAME ISSUE. LOSS OF ENGINE POWER - NO ACCELERATION. THIS ISSUE HAPPENED ON MORE TIME BEFORE I COULD GET TO A NEARBY PARKING LOT. I LET THE VEHICLE SIT FOR ABOUT 5 HOURS. I TIED TO DRIVE IT AGAIN AND THE SAME THING (LOSS OF ACCELERATION, HAD TO SHUT OF ENGINE AND RESTART) HAPPENED 3 MORE TIMES IN A 4 BLOCK DRIVE.

OIL WAS CHANGED 06/15/2019 LESS THAN ONE WEEK LATER ON 06/20/2019 WHILE TURNING FROM ONE CITY STREET ONTO ANOTHER VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER, OIL PRESSURE LOW WARNING AND OIL PRESSURE LIGHT WERE DISPLAYED. VEHICLE HAD NO POWER AND BEGAN ROLLING BACKWARD. DEPRESSED BRAKE AND TURNED OFF IGNITION, RESTARTED VEHICLE AND ALL LIGHTS WERE EXTINGUISHED. MOVED VEHICLE OUT OF TRAFFIC AND CHECKED OIL LEVEL WHICH WAS FULL. TOOK VEHICLE TO LOCAL REPAIR SHOP WHO STATED THAT THE OIL PRESSURE SENSOR WAS DAMAGED. REPLACED OIL PRESSURE SENSOR ON 06/20/2019, 2 DAYS LATER WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT ON CITY STREET, VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER AGAIN AND OIL PRESSURE LOW WARNING AND OIL PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER. TURNED OFF VEHICLE AND RESTARTED, ALL LIGHTS EXTINGUISHED AGAIN. REAR BRAKE LIGHTS NO LONGER FUNCTION (UPPER ON ONE SIDE, LOWER ON OTHER) BULBS ARE NOT BLOWN AND FUSE APPEARS FUNCTIONAL.

I AM WRITING TO COMPLAIN OF THE POOR VISIBILITY FROM THE HEADLIGHTS ON THIS VEHICLE. WITH LOW BEAM ON THERE IS A BLACK OUT LINE ABOUT 30 TO 40 FEET IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE WHICH CHANGES WITH ELEVATION OF THE ROAD. I DRIVE IN RURAL AREAS 80% OF THE TIME AND HAVE DIFFICULTY SEEING FAR ENOUGH IN FRONT TO DRIVE SAFELY. WHEN ON HIGH BEAM IT IS DIFFICULT TO SEE TO THE SIDES FAR ENOUGH TO SEE ANY OBJECTS POSSIBLY ENTERING THE ROADWAY. I AM WONDERING IF ANYTHING CAN BE DONE TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME.

VEHICLE DISPLAYED WARNING 'SERVICE ADVANCETRAC' AND BRAKED IN AN EXTREMELY ROUGH AND UNSAFE MANNER. VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE THEN AFTER OVER 2000 RPMS. DEALERSHIP IDENTIFIED AS POTENTIAL ISSUE WITH STEERING ANGLE SENSOR.

WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK, OUR 2014 FORD EDGE COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. SHE HAD NO CONTROL OF ANYTHING. LUCKILY SHE WAS ABLE TO COAST ONTO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITHOUT BEING HIT FROM THE REAR. IN THE DASH, THE "WRENCH" ICON DISPLAYED WITH A MESSAGE ALERTING HER TO SEE MANUAL. IT HAS BEEN 3YRS TO THE DATE SINCE WE'VE PURCHASED THE CAR AND NOTHING LIKE THIS HAS EVER HAPPENED. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE THAT WAS HAPPENING TO OTHER FORD EDGE'S IN 2013. AS FORD IS ABOUT SAFETY, I'M PERSONALLY OUTRAGED THAT THIS ISSUE IS STILL HAPPENING WITH NO RESOLVE. WHAT IF SHE HAD GOTTEN HURT; WHAT IF SHE HAD HURT SOMEONE ELSE DUE TO THIS ISSUE.

WE ARE EXPERIENCING HIGH LEVELS OF EXHAUST GASES INSIDE THE PASSENGER CABIN OF A 2014 FORD EDGE. THE EXHAUST FUMES ARE NOTICEABLE WHEN IDLING FOR EXTENDED PERIODS AND ARE MOST PRONOUNCED WHEN ACCELERATING AT HIGHWAY SPEED. EXHAUST GASES CAN REACH HIGH LEVELS SO UNCOMFORTABLE THAT WINDOWS MUST BE ROLLED DOWN TO FLUSH THE PASSENGER CABIN. THIS CONDITION HAS BEEN REPORTED TO A FORD SERVICE DEPARTMENT WHICH INDICATED THAT A METHOD OF REPAIR EXISTS BUT NO MANUFACTURER RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED TO DATE. THE CONDITION IS SIMILAR TO THAT IN THE FORD EXPLORER THAT RESULTED IN REPAIRS TO LAW ENFORCEMENT VEHICLES.

I'VE NOTICED OVER THE COURSE OF THE PAST 2 YEARS THAT THE TRANSMISSION SLAMS INTO GEAR BETWEEN 1ST AND 2ND CAUSING THE CAR TO JERK. THIS HAS HAPPENED APPROX. 12 TIMES THAT I CAN RECALL. IT USUALLY OCCURS BETWEEN 10 MPH AND 20 MPH.

DRIVER SIDE HEAD LIGHTS DO NOT COME ON WHEN LIGHTS ARE FIRST TURNED ON. CHECKED BULBS AND OK. THEN WHEN HIGH BEAM IS TURNED ON THE LIGHT WILL COME ON AND BOTH LOW AND HIGH BEAM WILL WORK. OK FOR A COUPLE DAYS THEN SAME PROCESS. IN CHECKING ONLINE BLOGS SEE A LOT OF OWNERS COMPLAIN OF SAME OR SIMILAR PROBLEM. . SUGGESTIONS TO REPLACE RELAY BUT WHEN GOING TO DEALER SUGGEST REPLACING COMPLETE ASSEMBLY WHICH IS VERY EXPENSIVE. ALSO RELAYS MAKE LIKE ALMOST A TRANSMISSION SHIFTING NOISE WHEN GOING FROM LOW TO HIGH BEAM AND BACK. BECAUSE OF LACK OF DEPENDABILITY FEEL COMPELLED TO HAVE TO CHECK LIGHTS EVERY TIME YOU GO SOMEPLACE.
