2012 FORD EDGE Complaints

VEHICLE DISPLAYS A WARNING "VEHICLE COOLANT OVER TEMPERATURE" THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN INSPECTED TWICE AND THE TECHNICIANS CLAIMED NOT TO HAVE BEEN ABLE REPRODUCE THE ERROR AND ALSO CLAIMED THAT THE COMPUTER WAS NOT "SPITTING" OUT ANY ERRORS. THE MESSAGE DISPLAYS WITHIN THE FIRST FILE MILES AFTER THE CAR HAS BEEN STATIONARY FOR MORE THAN 2 HOURS AND IT IS DISPLAYED FOR 10-20 SECONDS.

THE DOOR AJAR SENSOR IS ALWAYS ON. WHEN I START DRIVING THE LIGHTS ARE ON UNTIL I MOVE A FEW FEET. I AM NOT ABLE TO LOCK MY DOORS OR USE MY REMOTE START. IT HAS KILLED MY BATTERY. WHEN MY CAR IS PARKED AND TURNED OFF THE LIGHTS WILL COME ON AND OFF RANDOMLY.

FILED DOOR AJAR COMPLAINT WITH NHTS SEPTEMBER 24, 2014 #10638797. HAD PROBLEM REPAIRED MARCH 15, 2015. COST $245.93. SAME ISSUE OCCURING AGAIN. THIS TIME THE DOOR AJAR WARNING WILL NOT GO OFF UNLESS THE CAR IS IN GEAR AND WE OPEN THE DOOR AND CLOSE IT. NOT SAFE TO BE TRAVELING AND OPENING AND CLOSING A DOOR TO GET DOOR AJAR WARNING TO TURN OFF.

THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT AND WARNING SOUNDS ALERT WHEN ALL DOORS OF THE VEHICLE ARE DEFINITELY CLOSED. THIS HAS CAUSED ME TO RUIN 2 BATTERIES IN THE LAST 1.5 YEARS. ALSO IT CAUSES MY DOOR LOCKING MECHANISM TO NOT ENGAGE WHILE DRIVING LEAVING ME VULNERABLE AND UNSAFE AS A FEMALE DRIVER. MY FORD DEALER WILL CHARGE ME +$500 TO FIX THE 2 FAULTY MECHANISMS, THEN PROBABLY ANOTHER +$500 WHEN THE OTHER 2 BEGIN NOT WORKING.

8-11-2016 COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE WHILE IN MOTION, BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELS TO FLOOR WITH NO POWER ASSIST. DEALER DIAGNOSES AND REPLACES BRAKE BOOSTER. 9-24-2018 COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE UNABLE TO STOP AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. MANAGED TO GET TO SAFETY. PEDAL TRAVELS TO FLOOR NO STOPPING. CALLED DEALER ONCE MORE, WAS ADVISED TO CONTACT FORD FOR COVERAGE OF WORK AS IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. DO NOT WANT THIS VEHICLE WITH 2 BRAKE FAILURE EVENTS. PENDING SERVICE CASE.

DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR SENSOR. VEHICLE WARNING LIGHT DAYS DRIVER'S DOOR IS OPEN WHEN IT IS ACTUALLY CLOSED. PROBLEM PREVENTS AUTO DOOR LOCKS TO ENGAGE AND KEEPS INTERIOR LIGHTS ON WHEN DOOR IS LOCKED AND IGNITION IS OFF CAUSING BATTERY DRAIN.

ON 9/18/18 WHILE TRAVELING HOME FROM DOING SOME ERRANDS WENT TO APPLY BRAKES TO SLOW AND TURN AND PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR, PUMPED THEM A FEW TIMES TO STOP AND SINCE THEY HAVE PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE TO A POINT OUR MECHANIC SUGGESTED NOT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. AFTER SOME RESEARCH IT LOOKS LIKE A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THE EDGE! IS FORD GOING TO STEP UP?? SOUNDS LIKE A COSTLY ADVENTURE. FORD NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY!! REACHED OUT TO FORD FOR RECALL INFO. AND THERE HAPPENS TO NONE FOR MY VEHICLE. THEY SUGGESTED TO BRING TO A FORD DEALER MECHANIC AND AFTER DIAGNOSIS MAYBE FORD WILL HELP EASE THE FINANCIAL PAIN. MAYBE! UNFORTUNATELY FORD MECHANICS ARE MORE THAN DOUBLE THE COST OF OUR MORE THAN CAPABLE MECHANIC. FOR THE SAFETY OF ALL EDGE OWNERS PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL.

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR MAKING THE VEHICLE ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO STOP. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC WHO REPLACED THE BRAKES AND MASTER CYLINDER HOWEVER THAT DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM OF NO BRAKE PEDAL. I THEN TOOK THE VEHICLE TO FORD WHERE THEY ADVISED THAT THEY HAVE SEEN A RASH OF THIS PROBLEM, AND ADVISED THAT IT IS MOST LIKELY THE ABS CONTROL MODULE. THE VEHICLE IS AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP AS I TYPE. THIS IS THE SECOND ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE, THE FIRST WAS A BRAKE BOOSTER FAILURE THAT MADE THE BRAKE PEDAL VERY HARD TO PUSH.

I HAVE HAD MY POWER STEERING FAIL 4 TIMES IN THE LAST YEAR. MOST RECENTLY, I HAD THE WHOLE SYSTEM REPLACED WHILE OUT OF STATE ON VACATION. THE VEHICLE IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO STEER WHEN THIS HAPPENS. THIS COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

BRAKE BOOSTER WENT OUT, DOOR AJAR KEEPS COMING AND LEAVES MY INTERIOR LIGHTS ON DRAING BATTERY
