2012 FORD EDGE Complaints

DRIVER DOOR NOT SHUT ALERT CONTINUALLY COMES ON AND LEAVES CAR INTERIOR LIGHTS ON. THIS HAPPENS ON A DAILY BASIS. THE DOOR IS LATCHING FINE. THE SENSOR IS FAULTY.

THE ORIGINAL POWER BRAKE BOOSTER FAILED AND WAS REPLACED. THE SECOND POWER BRAKE BOOSTER FAILED AND ANOTHER ONE WAS REPLACED. THE FORD DEALERSHIP DID NOT WANT TO RECOGNIZE THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THIS PART AGAIN AND PASSED IT OFF AS SOMETHING ELSE (REAR CALIPER) CAUSING THE BRAKES TO LOOSE PRESSURE. I HOPE A REVIEW OF THESE PARTS WILL BE MADE FOR OTHER DRIVER'S SAFETY. SEE ATTACHMENTS.

IN AUGUST 2018, I APPLIED THE BRAKES ON MY 2012 FORD EDGE AND THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. THIS HAPPENED BEFORE AND TOOK IT FOR DIAGNOSTIC; ABS SENSOR WAS TRIPPED, BUT ONCE RESET ALL APPEARED TO WORK FINE. WAS NOT SURE WHAT PROBLEM WAS AND SINCE COULD NOT REPLICATE, IT WAS NOT CLEAR WHAT WE SHOULD DO TO FIX PROBLEM. IT HAS NOW HAPPENED AGAIN. I HAD NO BRAKE PRESSURE, BUT COULD HEAR A WHISTLE SOUND WHEN RELEASING THE BRAKE. I HAD THE MASTER CYLINDER AND BRAKE BOOSTER REPLACED. HOWEVER, ON TEST DRIVE DURING HARD BRAKING THE PEDAL AGAIN WENT TO FLOOR, WHISTLING STOPPED. IT APPEARS THE PROBLEM IS IN THE ABS SYSTEM. THE COST TO REPLACE ELECTRONIC AND HYDRAULIC ABS IS OVER $1100. AFTER ONLINE RESEARCH, I CAN SEE THIS IS COMMON PROBLEM WITH FORD EDGES -- CLEARLY TOO COMMON.

LEFT REAR PASSENGER DOOR IS AJAR. DRIVERS DOOR IS AJAR. LIGHTS WON'T GO OFF BECAUSE THE SENSORS SAY THE DOORS ARE OPEN. I BELIEVE THEY ARE SHUT. THIS HAS KILLED MY BATTERY. IT HAPPENS FREQUENTLY CAUSING STRESS NOT KNOWING IF MY CAR IS GOING TO START IN THE MORNING

DOOR AJAR NOTIFICATION STAYS ON WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED, RUNNING, AND WHILE DRIVING. THIS CAUSES THE LIGHTING TO REMAIN ON THUS DRAINING THE BATTERY.

THE BRAKE BOOSTER WENT BAD AND THE FORD DEALER NOTED THIS WAS NO LONGER COVERED EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A FIELD SERVICE ISSUE NOTED. CAR IS UNDER 133000, POWER IN BRAKES JUST WENT AWAY AND BRAKES WERE SPONGY.

3 TIMES BRAKES WERE SOFT AND BRAKE PEDAL WENT COMPLETELY TO FLOOR WHEN TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD. CAR WAS SLOW TO STOP!!! TAKING A LONG TIME, STANDING UP ON BRAKES. AFTER PUMPING THEM SEVERAL TIMES STILL PEDAL GOING TO FLOOR. VERY DANGEROUS. NOW, VERY LITTLE BRAKES AT ALL. EVEN SITTING STILL, BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO FLOOR. ONLINE REVIEWS, MANY FORD EDGE VEHICLES WITH SAME MANUFACTURE PROBLEM. I'LL BE TAKING CAR TO MECHANIC BECAUSE I NEED TRANSPORTATION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD EDGE. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS SHIFTED INTO PARK, IT MOVED FORWARD AND STRUCK A TREE WITHOUT WARNING. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A BODY SHOP AND DEEMED OPERABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 88,000.

WHEN DRIVING MY 2012 FORD EDGE I EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKES AT LOW SPEEDS. WHEN I WAS PARKING OR TRYING TO STOP FOR A STOP LIGHT, THE BRAKES WOULD BECOME ROCK HARD AND I WOULD HAVE TO PUSH AS HARD AS I COULD AND HOPE IT WOULD STOP. IT WAS A VERY FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE AND A DEFINITE SAFETY ISSUE. ON ONE OCCASION I WAS UNABLE TO GET THE CAR TO STOP AND ROLLED INTO THE ROAD. I JUST BOUGHT THE CAR LESS THAN 48 HOURS BEFORE. I WAS INFORMED IT WAS DUE TO THE BRAKE BOOSTER BEING BAD. FORD IS REPAIRING THIS.

DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYS ON AFTER CAR DOOR IS SHUT WHICH IN TURN LEAVES YOUR DOME LIGHTS ON WHICH IN TURN WILL RUN YOUR BATTERY DEAD. DOORS WILL NOT LOCK AND THAT'S A SAFETY HAZARD IF YOU HAVE CHILDREN IN THE BACKSEAT
