2011 FORD EDGE Complaints

SITTING IN A DRIVE THRU AND CAR BEGINS TO RUN HOT ONCE AGAIN DUE TO THE COOLING FANS NOT KICKING ON. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR. I HAVE REPLACED AN ENTIRE ENGINE ALONG WITH THE COOLING FAN MODULE AND ASSEMBLY. OVER 2000 IN REPAIRS ALL DUE TO A COOLING FAN MALFUNCTION AND IS ACTING LIKE IT AGAIN. *TR

THE DOOR LATCH SENSOR DOSE NOT WORK ALL THE TIME. WITCH MEANS THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK WHICH MAKES ME FEEL UNSAFE DRIVING MY VEHICLE. THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS WITH THE EDGES YEARS 2011 TO 2013. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS IF A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVE THIS PROBLEM TO KEEP US SAFE. ANYONE COULD OPEN YOUR DOOR AT A RED LIGHT. *TR

TONIGHT, I WAS CLOSING MY SUNROOF AN IT TOOK 5 MINUTES AND 3 PEOPLE TO CLOSE IT. ONE PERSON HAD TO PUSH THE BUTTON TO CLOSE IT AND THE OTHER TWO HAD TO PUSH THE GLASS FROM THE OUTSIDE. EVERY TIME WE DID THAT IT KEPT RESISTING AND POPPING BACK TO THE OPEN POSITION. I HAVE TOOK IT TO FORD ABOUT A MONTH AGO WHEN I GOT MY OIL CHANGED THEY TOLD ME TO TRIED TO CLEAN THE TRACKS OF IT AND LUB ON MY OWN OR HAVE FORD DO IT FOR ALMOST $1,000.00. I DON'T HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY. THEY. TOLD ME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ALL THE SUNROOF OF THIS YEAR. I FEEL IF MOST PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM THEY SHOULD OFFER SOME KIND OF HELP OR A RECALL ON IT. *TR

WHILE DRIVING IN THE CITY MY HAZARD LIGHTS CAME ON AUTOMATICALLY AND I COULD NOT TURN THEM OFF. THIS ALSO MADE MY BLINKERS INCAPABLE OF BEING USED, A CLEAR SAFETY ISSUE AND LAW OFFENSE. MY HAZARD LIGHTS CONTINUED TO TURN ON AND OFF AUTOMATICALLY LEAVING ME WITH A DRAINED BATTERY. I HAVE RESEARCHED THE RECALLS AND IT SEEMS THIS CAN BE A FIRE HAZARD BUT MY CAR WAS NOT ON THIS RECALL LIST. *TR

65 MPH ON HIGHWAY, COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER... ELECTRONICS SEEMED TO SPUTTER OFF, THEN BACK ON FOR A FEW SECONDS, THEN OFF AGAIN, BUT THE VEHICLE SHUT COMPLETELY OFF MID HIGHWAY DRIVING WITH NO ABILITY TO STEER, ACCELERATE OR DECELERATE. ENDED UP AT A COMPLETE STOP ON THE HIGHWAY WITH NOTHING WORKING TO POWER THE VEHICLE BACK ON. HEATER SEEMED TO CONTINUE TO WORK, BUT NOTHING AS FAR AS THE ENGINE OR DASH, NO ELECTRONICS. CONTINUED TO TRY TO START THE VEHICLE OVER AND OVER AS ONCOMING VEHICLES SWERVED AROUND ME AT 60 TO 70 MPH. DIALED 911 AND HAD TO WAIT 15 MINUTES BEFORE A POLICE CAR PARKED BEHIND THE FORD EDGE WITH FLASHERS ON. LITERALLY NO WARNING, NO WARNING LIGHTS, NO NOTHING. VEHICLE SIMPLY LOST POWER... COMPLETELY TURNED OFF. THIS WAS HANDS DOWN ONE OF THE MOST FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCES FOR MY DAUGHTER WHO WAS DRIVING AT THE TIME. SHE'LL LIKELY NOT GET BACK INTO THAT VEHICLE.

WHEN VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AT VARIOUS SPEEDS AND PRESSURE APPLIED TO BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP OR REDUCE SPEED THE VEHICLE DOESN'T COMPLETELY STOP. THIS HAS RESULTED IN ACCIDENTS DUE TO PRESSING BRAKE IS UNABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. MULTIPLE DIAGNOSTICS HAVE BEEN PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE FROM CERTIFIED AUTO SHOPS TO NO AVAIL. MECHANICS ARE UNABLE TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE DUE TO OCCURRENCES ARE INTERMITTENT. THIS IS A VERY SCARY FEELING TO NOT KNOW IF YOUR BRAKING SYSTEM WILL STOP THE VEHICLE WHEN IN MOTION. I HAVE RESEARCHED AND REVIEWED MULTIPLE BLOGS THAT HAVE RESULTED IN MULTIPLE CITIZENS EXPRESSING THE SAME ISSUE WITH THIS TYPE, YEAR, AND MODEL OF VEHICLE. I STRONGLY ENCOURAGE FORD AND MANUFACTURERS TO THOROUGHLY RESEARCH THESE TYPE COMPLAINTS AND ISSUE A RECALL BEFORE MULTIPLE DEATHS OCCUR DUE TO VEHICLE BEING UNABLE TO STOP. FAMILY LIVES ARE AT RISK WHEN DRIVING THEIR VEHICLES THAT PRESENT THIS INTERMITTENT BRAKING PROBLEM. ADDITIONALLY, THERE HAVE BEEN TIMES WHEN I HAVE HAD TO PUMP THE BRAKES WHILE IN PARK OR PUT IN NEUTRAL BEFORE PUTTING INTO DRIVE MODE. AGAIN, BRAKE PEDAL SUPPRESSED FULLY TO FLOOR STILL WILL NOT BRING VEHICLE TO COMPLETE HALT. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. THIS IS A CONTINUOUS ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR MONTHS IN MY CASE BUT FOR YEARS FOR OTHERS WHO OWN THE SAME TYPE OF VEHICLE.

THE INTERIOR LIGHTS ARE STAYING ON WHEN THE IGNITION IS TURNED OFF AND THE CAR IS PARK POSITION DUE TO A FAULTY DOOR SWITCH, AND THIS IS HAPPENING WHEN THE DOOR INDICATOR ON MY INSTRUMENT PANEL IS SHOWING THE DOOR IS AJAR WHEN IT IS ACTUALLY CLOSED, THUS CREATING A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION DUE TO SAME FAULT SHOWING UP. THIS IS ALSO KILLING THE BATTERY IF NOT NOTICED IN TIME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND WENT TO THE FLOORBOARD. THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WENT THROUGH A RED TRAFFIC LIGHT BEFORE COMING TO A STOP. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED AND REPAIRED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SUSQUEHANNA FORD LOCATED AT (415 W 4TH ST, QUARRYVILLE, PA 17566) TO HAVE THE ABS SOFTWARE REPROGRAMMED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 74,000.

I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK ON A COUNTRY ROAD. THE VEHICLE RANDOMLY BEGAN TO LOSE POWER AND WOULDN'T GAIN MUCH SPEED. I WAS TRYING TO GET IT PARKED IN AT LEAST A DRIVEWAY OR PLACE TO SIT SAFELY IN CASE SOMETHING HAPPENED. THERE WERE CARS BEHIND ME , THE CAR STARTED SMOKING REALLY BAD FROM THE HOOD. BEFORE I HAD TIME TO GET SOMEWHERE SAFELY, THE CAR SHUT OFF AND STARTED GOING IN REVERSE. I HAD TO SLAM ON MY EMERGENCY BREAK AND WAS STUCK THERE UNTIL I HAD HELP FROM A TOW TRUCK TO TOW IT. THE CAR WOULDN'T TURN ON OR MOVE SO I WAS STUCK ON THIS HILL AND HAD PEOPLE FROM THEIR HOUSE GUIDE TRAFFIC UNTIL HELL CAME. THE CAR DIDN'T GIVE ME ANY WARNINGS OR ISSUES PRIOR TO THIS AT ALL. I HAVEN'T HAD THE VEHICLE FOR MORE THAN 2 YEARS AND HAVE ALWAYS TAKEN CARE OF EVERYTHING AND HAVE KEPT UP ON THE MAINTENANCE OF IT. THE ENGINE IS BLOWN AND WAS TOLD THE ANTIFREEZE LEAKED INTO THE OIL DUE TO THE ENGINE BLOWING. I HAVE STILL BEEN MAKING MY MONTHLY PAYMENT ON THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE BEEN CARLESS FOR MONTHS NOW AND WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE FORD TAKING THE ACTION INTO DOING WHAT'S RIGHT FOR THEIR CUSTOMERS THAT KEEP THEM GOING IN BUSINESS. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS VEHICLE AND AM SEEING A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH THE SAME EXACT ISSUE.

JUST PURCHASED A 2011 FORD EDGE SEL.. THE FIRST NIGHT I DROVE AT NIGHT THE HALOGEN HEADLAMPS WORE VERY DIM. VERY LOW LIGHT ON EITHER HI OR LOW BEAM. REPLACED WITH NEW BULBS. SAME THING, HEADLAMPS ARE NOT BRIGHT. RESEARCHED ON INTERNET. LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE ALSO HAD THIS PROBLEM. SOUNDS TO ME FORD MOTOR COMPANY VERY BAD LIGHTING SYSTEM. CAN NOT BELIEVE FORD DID NOT HAVE A RECALL ON THEIR LIGHTING SYSTEM AND NO ONE WAS KILLED YET DO TO THEIR DEFECT ON THE BAD LIGHTING WITH THEIR HEADLAMPS WITH THE HALOGEN BULBS! I THINK THEY SHOULD REPLACE THESE LAMPS AND RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE DIES. NO ACCIDENT YET. THIS IS ONLY A COMPLAINT BEFORE SOMETHING DOES HAPPEN.
