2013 FORD EDGE Complaints

This is in regards to Recall # 14S10 (Ford) and NHTSA # 14V393000. I was driving my 2013 Ford Edge when turning there was a pop, and vehicle would not engage into any gear causing an extreme safety issue. After being towed, it was noted that the intermediate shaft was broke and sheared the gears off. This is a very uncommon finding. We contacted Ford and was told there was not a recall on this vehicle. Therefore, we replaced, through Ford, the intermediate shaft and 2 new CV axles (ordered through a parts store). Once repairs were completed, the CV axle seal leaked and was also replaced. It started shaking upon acceleration. We then replaced the motor mounts and struts in an attempt to fix the problem. We also put another CV axle on passenger side at that time. At this point, after speaking to several different professionals regarding our problem, we were then informed that there WAS a recall for this very problem on 2013 Edge. We contacted Ford again and gave them the recall numbers. They then agreed that the recall should have included this vehicle but that our particular VIN number was not included in the initial recall. We were advised by Ford to bring the vehicle in and let them inspect it. After inspection, they found that when the intermediate shaft went out, it damaged the transmission. They also stated that looking into the history of this vehicle, this is not the first time for this problem with this particular Edge. They stated this should've been included in the original recall as this is the exact reason for the recall. We were advised to contact you with this complaint so that this Edge with Vin number can be added to the recall and fixed accordingly. This Edge is currently at the Ford dealer awaiting your response. I implore you to consider adding this VIN # to the original recall. The Ford dealer is in agreement that this is the exact reason for the recall. Thankfully, no one was injured during the initial incident which could have been serious.

2013 FORD EDGE-Consumer had already taken vehicle for tune up 2 months after purchase. Consumer heard bad thumping noise from back of vehicle. Consumer took it to a mechanic and was told about Recall # 14V393000- Power Train: Axle Assembly. Axle Shaft. Consumer mentioned the 15 yr. rule. Consumer replaced power train, new brake shoes, and rotors. Dealership where vehicle was purchased never informed consumer before the purchase of the recall. Consumer states others have reported similar experience from same dealer. Retail installment contract attached.

Door ajar shows not closed, it’s closed. This is a safety hazard. Plus the interior lights never shut off and drain the battery. Other similar car with the same door latch assembly in ford cars have been recalled, why not mine. Multitudes of Ford Edge owners are experiencing the same problem. Just look online. Please make Ford accountable for this model as well. Thank you.

Car has trouble starting/running often every time the tank is full. Numerous shops can not find the issue

I was driving on the highway and someone rapidly stopped in front of me. When I went to push my brakes, my brake pedal with straight to the floor and the car would not stop, almost causing a collision with the car in front of me. Brake system failed, no warning lights. This has been an known issue with this car for others but still no recall.

The contact owns a 2013 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed and approaching a stop light, the brake pedal was depressed but was extremely firm. The brakes failed to respond as needed. The driver placed both feet on the brake pedal and the vehicle stopped. The contact pulled over, and her husband drove the vehicle to the residence. The contact stated that while her husband was driving at an undisclosed speed, the failure recurred. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer where it was diagnosed that the brake booster needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was contacted but no assistance was provided. The approximate failure mileage was 151,049.

Three times over the past month I have experienced a soft brake pedal that would go all the way to the floor and the vehicle would fail to stop normally. The first two (2) times where at low speed approaching a gas pump. More frighteningly the third time was at 45 MPH with my young daughter in the vehicle and evasive maneuvers had to be mad to avaoid a collision. After the first time I had the brake pads changed. Earlier on the day of the third incident my vehicle was at a national service center for a brake inspection, because of the alarm from the second incident, and no issue was found. The issue is completely random with no noise, dash lights, warning, or indication of impending failure at all. I have read multiple accounts of 2013 Ford Edge drivers with accounts matching mine detail for detail. Reports of multiple brake booster and master cylinder replacements and HCU replacements with no success. This is extremely dangerous and will eventually result in the loss of life for someone. This needs to be addressed by Ford via recall immediately.

I was driving when my car suddenly shut off WHILE I WAS ON THE FREEWAY!! the steering wheel became locked and I couldn’t even steer it off the road. It started stalling while driving too.

With no warning lights or other apparent issues brake pressure suddenly disappeared resulting in the brake pedal sinking to the floorboard before the vehicle would even slow down or stop. This first happened in September 2022. The issue can better be described in both NHTSA Complaints 11339440 and 11343191. The brake master cylinder was replaced. It worked until May 2023 and I am now having the same issue. There is almost no brake pressure. The problem has yet to be resolved. This is a very serious safety risk for both the passengers of this vehicle and others on the road. It is almost impossible to come to a full stop within a few seconds.

The contact’s daughter owns a 2013 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while his daughter was driving at an undisclosed speed, his daughter had to apply added pressure to the brake pedal to coast the vehicle to a stop. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the vacuum pump and brake booster had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer was notified of the failure and the contact was provided an estimate for the repair. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was informed that the VIN was not included in Customer Satisfaction Program Number: 13N02. The failure mileage was approximately 48,000.
