2012 FORD EDGE Complaints

I HAVE A 2012 FORD EDGE THAT HAS HAD MAJOR BRAKE FAILURE HAPPEN. OVER THE LAST FEW WEEKS WHILE BRAKING FOR A STOP LIGHT THE BRAKE PEDAL DROPS TO THE FLOOR, AND BARELY AVOIDED REAR ENDING THE CAR IN FRONT, AND THEN SEEMINGLY WORKS FINE AGAIN AFTERWARDS, MAKING ME QUESTION MYSELF AS TO HOW BIG OF AN ISSUE IT HAD. YESTERDAY IT COMPLETELY FAILED AND TURNING OFF INTERSTATE AT AN OFF RAMP (GOING 70MPH!) I NEARLY REAR ENDED THE SEMI IN FRONT OF US AT THE STOP SIGN!! MY 8 MONTH PREGNANT WIFE WAS IN THE FRONT SEAT WITH ME AND MY TWO DOGS IN THE BACK SEAT! WE WERE WITHIN INCHES OF THE SEMI BUMPER DECAPITATING US! I VERY SLOWLY MADE IT TO A PARKING LOT ACROSS THE STREET WITH USE OF PARKING BRAKE, AND HAD THE CAR TOWED HOME. ONCE HOME IN MY DROVEWAY THE BRAKES SEEM TO WORK. SO I SEARCH THE WEB TO HAVE AN IDEA IF THIS IS A VEHICLE SPECIFIC PROBLEM BEFORE GOING TO MECHANIC..WHOAH! THERE ARE MORE COMPLAINTS IDENTICAL TO MINE THAN I CAN COUNT! FORD HAS NOT ISSUED A SAFETY RECALL FOR THIS LIFE THREATENING DEFECT. I HAVE READ CONSTANTLY IT IS THE BRAKE BOOSTER OR MASTER CYLINDER, BUT THAT REPLACING WITH NEW FORD OEM PART ONLY GIVES THEM A FEW MONTHS OR YEARS BEFORE IT TOO FAILS! I CANNOT GAMBLE MY FAMILY'S LIVES ON A DEFECTIVE FORD PART. I HAVE FORD VEHICLES FROM THE 80S AND NONE HAVE EVER HAD CATASTROPHIC BRAKE FAILURES WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS CERTAINLY A MODEL SPECIFIC DEFECT AND NEEDS TO BE REMEDIED. I AM RELUCTANT TO TRADE OFF THE VEHICLE AFTER I HAVE IT REPAIRED AND PASS THE PROBLEM ON TO SOMEONE ELSES FAMILY, BUT I DON'T WANT TO REPAIR IT, AND HAVE MY FAMILY RELYING ON A TICKING TIME BOMB FOR THE NEXT TIME IT FAILS TO STOP. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS FOR FORD TO HAVE A FLEET OF EDGES ON THE ROAD ALL WAITING TO ENDANGER INNOCENT LIVES WHEN THEY SMASH INTO A CAR, BUILDING, OR CEMENT BARRIER. PLEASE FORCE FORD TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE, RECALL EVERY CAR WITH THE DEFECT, AND SAVE LIVES.

BRAKE BOOSTER HAS GONE OUT THREE TIMES RESULTING IN LOSS OF STOPPING POWER. PEDAL GOES TO FLOOR AND VEHICLE DOES NOT STOP PROPERLY. FORD HAS 13N02 CAMPAIGN, BUT IT ONLY COVERS IT ONE TIME. SINCE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THE NHTSA MUST GET INVOLVED.

ISSUES WITH FUEL NECK FILLER. CODE P0456. AFTER FILLING UP UNLEADED GAS IN THE CAPLESS GAS TANK, THE VEHICLE STALLS UPON STARTING IGNITION. THIS IS NOW A CONSISTENT PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE. AIR MAY BE FILLING UP IN THE GAS TANK. IN 2014, 2012-13 FORD EDGES WERE RECALLED FOR FUEL LEAKS. HOWEVER, THIS VEHICLE DOES NOT FALL UNDER THAT RECALL, EVEN THOUGH IT WAS MANUFACTURED DURING THE SAME YEARS.

BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR WITH MINIMAL ABILITY TO STOP. CONTACTED ANDY MOHR FORD. NO ISSUE FOUND. REPLACED ALL BREAKS AND ROTORS. ON JULY 1ST 2018 BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO FLOOR AGAIN. ANDY MOHR FORD REPLACE MASTER CYLINDER. JULY 23 2018 BRAKES FAILED AGAIN. BIG BIG BIG SAFETY ISSUE.

DOOR AJAR SENSOR IS FAILING. DOOR AJAR MESSAGE STAYS ON WITH DOOR CLOSED (DRIVER'S) MAKING DRIVING VERY DIFFICULT WITH CONSTANT WARNING BEEPS AND DOME LIGHT ON (EVEN AT NIGHT). I HAVE TO OPEN AND SHUT THE DOOR MULTIPLE TIMES VERY HARD FOR IT TO GO AWAY. MANY MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE, AND APPARENTLY IT PROGRESSIVELY GETS WORSE UNTIL THEY HAVE CONSTANT BEEPING WARNING, DOME LIGHT ON WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT, DOORS THAT WON'T LOCK WHILE DRIVING AND THE CONSTANT RISK OF A DEAD BATTERY AFTER RETURNING TO THEIR PARKED VEHICLE. I'VE ALREADY HAD TO BUY A NEW BATTERY DUE TO THE DOME LIGHT STAYING ON AFTER PARKING. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND DESERVES A RECALL. THE CURRENT FIX APPARENTLY REQUIRES REPLACING THE ENTIRE LATCH FOR AROUND $400, EVERY TWO YEARS ON AVERAGE. THIS IS RIDICULOUS.

I PURCHASED MY CAR IN DEC 2013. I HAD TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALER THE VERY NEXT DAY DUE TO THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT. THIS HAS BEEN A CONTINUOUS ISSUE WITH THE DOOR AJAR SENSOR AND THE DOOR DOES NOT PROPERLY LATCH. THE INTERIOR LIGHTS REMAIN ON FOR QUITE SOME TIME AND IF I LOCK THE DOOR THEN THE ALARM GOES OFF ALL DAY OR NIGHT AT RANDOM. IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE . I HAVE HAD IT FOR ALMOST 5 YEARS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HESITATED WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. ALSO, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. TOWN AND COUNTRY FORD NASHVILLE (101 ANDERSON LN, MADISON, TN) WAS CONTACTED AND DIAGNOSED THAT THE TURBO BYPASS SOLENOID WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER TWICE WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT TWO MORE SOLENOIDS WERE FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY DIAGNOSED THAT THE TURBO ASSEMBLY WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE FAILURE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 83,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD WHEN IT WAS DEPRESSED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 58,000.

WHILE DRIVING I LOSE POWER AND CAN NO LONGER ACCELERATE. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE HALFSHAFT RETENTION CIRCLIP MAY NOT HAVE BEEN PROPERLY INSTALLED. AS A RESULT THE HALFSHAFT MAY MOVE OUTWARD AND DISENGAGE FROM THE LINKSHAFT WHILE DRIVING AND WITHOUT WARNING. IF THIS OCCURS, POWER WILL NO LONGER BE TRANSMITTED TO THE WHEELS, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

WHEN YOU START YOUR CAR. A MESSAGE COMES ON THAT DOORS ARE NOT CLOSED. IT HAPPENS RANDOMLY EVERY TIME YOU DRIVE THE CAR. YOU CAN OPEN AND SHUT YOUR DOORS. ALL THE TIME. THE CAR ALSO RANDOMLY HONKS THE HORN AND THE LIGHTS ALL FLASH. WE HAVE CHANGED THE BATTERIES IN THE REMOTES AND IT STILL HAPPENS. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR WHILE.
