2014 FORD EDGE Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT ABLE TO RESTART AND WAS TOWED TO DARCARS FORD (9020 LANHAM SEVERN RD, LANHAM, MD 20706, (301) 459-1100). THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THE BATTERY NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,580.

WITH SLIGHTLY OVER 70,000 MILES ON MY 2014 FORD EDGE THE BRAKE BOOSTER IS BAD AND I AM HAVING TO REPLACE IT.

EVERY TIME I ACCELERATE HARD TO REACH HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE EXHAUST LEAKS INTO THE CABIN CAUSING BREATHING PROBLEMS AND DROWSINESS. THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE AND THE FORD DEALERSHIP DOES NOT SEEM TO WANT TO COVER THE COSTS OF THIS SAFETY ISSUE.

DRIVER SIDE FRONT DOOR AJAR SENSOR FAILURE. SENSOR READS DOOR AJAR WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED THAT WHICH KEEPS INTERIOR LIGHTING ON, DASH ALARM/WARNING STAYS ON AND DRAINS THE BATTERY AND COULD POTENTIALLY LEAVE YOU STRANDED. FOUND MANY PEOPLE WITH THIS SAME ISSUE ON THE SAME DOOR, OTHER DOOR OR MULTIPLE DOORS ON THE INTERNET AND MANY YOUTUBE VIDEOS SHOWING THIS FAILURE WITH MOST FORD SUV STYLE VEHICLES IN THIS MODEL AND YEAR RANGE. CALLED SEVERAL MECHANICS AND WAS QUOTED $400 + DOLLARS TO REPLACE SENSOR WITH SAME VERSION SENSOR THAT WHICH WILL SOON FAIL AGAIN ACCORDING TO MECHANICS AND OTHERS THAT HAVE REPLACED THE SENSOR FROM INTERNET AND YOUTUBE SOURCE.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON A CITY STREET CAME TO A STOP LIGHT WENT TO PUSH THE BRAKE PEDAL AND IT FELT LIKE THE VEHICLE HAD NO BRAKES AND WAS NOT STOPPING. PUSHED THE PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND THE VEHICLE FINALLY CAME TO A STOP. THE BRAKE PEDAL FELT EXTREMELY HARD TO PUSH TO GET THE BRAKES TO STOP THE VEHICLE. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY FOUND THE BRAKE BOOSTER FAILED. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 33,874 MILES CURRENTLY ON IT.

THROTTLE BODY!!! I WAS DRIVING DOWN A VERY BUSY BACK ROAD WITH A NUMBER OF SHARP TURNS THROUGHOUT WHEN A YELLOW WRENCH APPEARED ON MY DASHBOARD AND THE CAR WENT INTO A FULL AND IMMEDIATE "LIMP MODE." MY CAR INITIATED LIMP MODE ON A VERY SHARP TURN WITH AN INCLINING HILL AND I HAD NOWHERE TO PULL OFF TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM. I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO RESTART MY CAR AND DROVE APPROXIMATELY 10 MILES TO WORK AND MY CAR WOULD AGAIN GO INTO "LIMP MODE" 4 ADDITIONAL TIMES THROUGHOUT THE DURATION OF THIS TRIP. I'M LUCKY I WASN'T KILLED. PLEASE RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY HURT OR KILLED!

SWITCH FOR PARK. AR ROLLED AND SAID NOT IN PARK, KEPT WARNING. COST US $332.48, REPAIRED JULY 18, 2018

VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH, I WENT TO CHANGE LANES AND THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOSES POWER, GOES INTO LIMP HOME MODE, THE WRENCH APPEARS ON THE DASH AND I MUST PULL OFF TO THE EMERGENCY SHOULDER. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED IN TO FORD, WHERE THEY EXPLAINED MY THROTTLE BODY WAS BAD AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

IT WILL NOT RUN OVER 5 MILES PER HOUR, IT CRANKS UPS AND IDLES. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS AND THE GUY AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP SAID IT MAY BE THE THROTTLE BODY.

BRAKE BOOSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT 20,239 MILES. LESS THAN 2 YEARS LATER THE REPLACEMENT BRAKE BOOSTER FAILED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED AT 42,480 MILES. IT SEEMS EVERY 2 YEARS OR 20,000 MILES THE BRAKE BOOSTER FAILS. FORTUNATELY WHEN THE BRAKES FAILED, IT WAS RIGHT AFTER START UP AND BACKING OUT OF PARKING SPACES. THE PEDAL BECAME STIFF WITH NO STOPPING POWER. I HAD THE BOOSTER REPLACED IN BOTH INSTANCES IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE FIRST SYMPTOMS OF FAILURE OCCURRED. FORTUNATELY THE FAILURES DID NOT OCCUR WHILE ON CITY STREETS OR HIGHWAYS. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE 2011 THRU 2013 FORD EDGE MODELS. YOU MAY CONSIDER INCLUDING THE 2014 EDGE FOR A RECALL AS WELL.
