2014 FORD EDGE Complaints

CAR LOST ALL DRIVING FUNCTION WHILE IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET. IT BASICALLY DIED. THE SHIFTER ALWAYS SHOWS AN ERROR OF "NOT IN PARK" WHEN THE CAR IS IN FACT IN PARK.

THE BACK-UP CAMERA IS NOT WORKING, WHEN THE VEHICLE IS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD. THE VEHICLE HASN'T BEEN INVOLVED IN ANY ACCIDENT AND THE DEALER ASKED $1000 TO FIX IT. IT APPARENTLY A MANUFACTURE DEFEAT.

DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYS ON EVEN WHEN DOOR CLOSED CAUSING BELL TO CHIME CAR IS NOT IN PARK. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP - THEY CHANGED THE LATCH. I ROLLED MY WINDOW DOWN ON THE WAY HOME AND WINDOW WOULD NOT ROLL BACK UP. THEY SAID THE CABLE JUST HAPPENED TO BREAK. HAD TO PAY FOR THAT AS WELL.

THE POWER TRAIN MALFUNCTION LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING. I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE GOING AROUND 75 MPH AND ON 3 LANES OF HEAVY MORNING COMMUTE TRAFFIC. WHEN THE POWER TRAIN LIGHT CAME ON, I LOST THE ABILITY TO USE THE GAS AND COULD NOT ACCELERATE. I DID HAVE THE ABILITY TO BRAKE. I HAD TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD QUICKLY DESPITE THE HEAVY TRAFFIC. I STOPPED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON. ONCE TURNING OFF AND ON, THE POWER TRAIN LIGHT WAS NO LONGER ILLUMINATED AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE AGAIN. THE CAUSE OF THE FAULT IN UNKNOWN.

WHEN I PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK IT DISPLAYS THE "TRANSMISSION NOT IN PARK" LIGHT. WHEN THIS DISPLAYS YOU CANNOT LOCK DOORS PROPERLY. THE ONLY WAY TO ADJUST THIS IS TO EITHER TAP THE GEAR SHIFT BUTTON FOR STANDARD DRIVE OR RESTART AND KILL THE CAR. SOMETIMES IT WORKS AND SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING OFF AND ON SINCE 30,000 MILES BUT OUT OF THE 3 YEAR WARRANTY. I AM BEING TOLD THEY HAVE TO REPLACE THE SHIFTER TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM . THEY ALSO TELL ME IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR.

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED AND HAVE HAD IT FOR ONE YEAR. THE HEAD LIGHTS ARE THE WORST HEADLIGHTS I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED ON A VEHICLE. HEADLIGHTS DO NOT PROJECT ADEQUATELY DOWN THE ROAD ON EITHER HIGH OR LOW BEAM. BOTH HIGH AND LOW BEAMS ARE NOT BRIGHT ENOUGH. POOR ILLUMINATION ABOVE THE ROAD AND TO THE SIDES. THERE ARE BLIND SPOTS WHEN GOING UP A HILL OR TURNING A CORNER. I LIVE IN A RURAL AREA AND IT IS VERY HAZARDOUS TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE AT NIGHT.

WHEN PUTTING THE VEHICLE IN PARK IT DOES NOT REGISTER THE PARK POSITION. AFTER TURNING IT OFF IT PULLED FORWARD, BUT NORMALLY IT WILL STAY PARKED. I HAVE A VIDEO OF THE PARK NOT ENGAGING, BUT IT IS BIGGER THAN 5 MB. IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR ABOUT 2-3 WEEKS, WILL BE TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V384000 (AIR BAGS). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE RECALL REPAIR WAS EXCEEDING A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE DEALER (GREENWOOD FORD IN ORLANDO, FL, 1-888-984-4895) WAS NOTIFIED AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

WHILE DRIVING ON BUSY ROAD THE VEHICLE WENT ON LIMP MODE,ALMOST HAD REAR END COLLISION.!THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED.

WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, ACCELERATOR SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING, WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON, AND ENGINE WENT INTO LIMP HOME MODE. IT WAS VERY UNSAFE TRYING TO CROSS LANES TO GET OFF OF HIGHWAY AS CAR SLOWED VERY RAPIDLY. THIS IS THE SAME ACTION ASSOCIATED WITH THE WELL DOCUMENTED THROTTLE BODY PROBLEM FORD HAS HAD WITH OTHER MODELS. ONCE OFF THE ROAD, MOTOR WAS SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED WHICH MADE THE PROBLEM GO AWAY BUT UNFORTUNATELY ERASED ANY ERROR CODES THAT MAY HAVE BEEN GENERATED.
