2014 FORD EDGE Complaints

PANORAMIC MOONROOF JUST SHATTERED SITTING STILL. NOTHING HIT IT AND CAR WAS NOT MOVING. WAS ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET AND OWNER WAS STANDING RIGHT BY THE VEHICLE.

AFTER CLOSING THE PASSENGER'S SIDE FRONT DOOR, THE REAR WINDOW EXPLODED/SHATTERED.

EDGE'S "DOOR AJAR" WARNING LIGHT REMAINS ON, EVEN WHEN THE DOORS ARE CLOSED AND LATCHED. WHILE IT'S CERTAINLY ANNOYING TO BE CONFRONTED WITH A STUBBORN WARNING ON AN INSTRUMENT CLUSTER, NHTSA ALSO POINTS OUT THAT, AS LONG AS THE LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED, THERE'S NO WAY FOR DRIVERS TO KNOW FOR SURE THAT THE VEHICLE'S DOORS ARE PROPERLY CLOSED. AS A RESULT, OWNERS MAY SPEND A GREAT DEAL OF TIME CHECKING AND RE-CHECKING TO ENSURE THAT THE EDGE'S DOORS ARE REALLY, TRULY LATCHED. OVER TIME, OWNERS MAY BECOME SO ACCUSTOMED TO SEEING THE WARNING LIGHT CRYING WOLF THAT THEY BEGIN TO IGNORE IT--WHICH COULD, OF COURSE, CAUSE PROBLEMS IF A DOOR TRULY ISN'T CLOSED.HTTPS://WWW.THECARCONNECTION.COM/NEWS/1106519_2011-2013-FORD-EDGE-INVESTIGATED-FOR-PERSISTENT-DOOR-AJAR-WARNING

WHILE DRIVING ON TOWN STREET THE CAR STARTED SLOWING DOWN AND THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR FELT LIKE IT IT JUST LOST ALL POWER - NOT ELECTRICAL BUT IT SLOWED DOWN TO A CRAWL. I WAS ABLE TO PULL THE CAR OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, SHUT OFF THE WRENCH AND SHUT OFF THE CAR. I LET IT SIT FOR A MINUTE THEN TURNED IT ON AND IT WAS FINE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TODAY 10/20 AND THEY IDENTIFIED THAT IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY. THIS WAS A VERY UNSAFE EVENT AND MY CAR HAS ONLY 34,614 MILES ON IT. IT COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT IF I HADN'T PULLED THE CAR OVER AS IT JUST STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS VERY BUSY STREET.

TOUCHSCREEN STOPPED WORKING. IT CONTROLS HANDS-FREE PHONE, NAVIGATION, TEMPERATURE, AND RADIO. FORD EXTENDED WARRANTY ON SYSTEM, BUT DID NOT INCLUDE TOUCHSCREEN ITSELF, AND IS CHARGING $1,000 TO REPLACE. TOUCHSCREEN ITSELF SHOULD BE RECALLED. DANGEROUS IF NEED TO MAKE PHONE CALL AND HAVE TO USE CELL PHONE RATHER THAN HANDS -FREE UNIT, OR IF RELYING ON SYSTEM TO GIVE NAVIGATION DIRECTIONS AND IT SUDDENLY STOPS WORKING.

WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY, PANORAMIC GLASS ROOF EXPLODED INTO PIECES. ROOF WAS NOT OPEN OR BEEN USED I. MORE THAN 2 YEARS. SCREEN WAS LUCKILY CLOSED OR I WOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED IN GLASS. LOUD BANG AND RUSH OF AIR CAUSING ME TO JERK STEERING WHEEL AND ENTER NEXT LANE OF TRAFFIC

CAR STOPPED RUNNING IN THE MIDDLE OF A RED LIGHT AND WHEN PUSHING THE GAS WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING AND WHEN PUT INTO PARK THE WHOLE CAR SHOOK REALLY BAD. HAD TO GET OUT OF THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD SO THAT I WOULD NOT BE HIT FROM BEHIND.

AFTER DRIVING AND PLACING THE VEHICLE IN PARK, THEN TURNING OFF THE ENGINE; WHICH IS DONE BY "PUSHING BUTTON CONTROL," THE INDICATOR READS " TRANSMISSION NOT IN PARK". ALTHOUGH THE GEAR HANDLE IS FULLY ENGAGED IN THE PARK POSITION. ONLY AFTER PUSHING THE GEAR HANDLE WITH A LITTLE FORCE TO ENSURE IT'S IN THE "PARK", POSITION, DOES THE DASH INDICATOR CHANGES TO "PARK". AND IT'S SAFE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD EDGE. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (FRIENDLY FORD LOCATED IN LAS VEGAS, NV), BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT RETRIEVED THE VEHICLE AND THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO OCCUR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6,000.

THE A/C SYSTEM DOES NOT RESPOND TO TEMPERATURE CONTROL. IT STAYS ICE COLD. THE SUSPENSION SQUAWKS AND CLANKS WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED AND THE STEERING WHEEL TURNS.
