2012 FORD EDGE Complaints

2012 FORD EDGE LIMITED. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO BRAKE PERFORMANCE ISSUES. *LD THE CONSUMER REQUESTED TO BE REIMBURSED FOR THE LABOR COST REPLACEMENT OF THE APIM. *JS

DOOR LOCK ASSEMBLY, ALTHOUGH DOOR IS COMPLETELY SHUT, DOOR AJAR ALERT STAYS ON, WHICH CAUSES ALL THE LIGHTS TO REMAIN ON AND IT DOES NOT ALLOW YOU TO LOCK YOUR DOORS, WHICH IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN YOU HAVE CHILDREN WHO COULD POTENTIALLY OPEN THE DOOR WHILE IN MOTION. SOME LIGHTS REMAIN ON AFTER DOOR IS CLOSED WHICH CAN DRAIN BATTERY. ISSUE OCCURS REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY OR IN MOTION

DOOR LATCH FAILURE. INITIALLY THE DOOR WILL INTERMITTENTLY NOT CLOSE WHILE PARKED (WOULD REBOUND OPEN WHEN PUSHED SHUT). NOW WHILE DRIVING THE DOOR WILL UNLATCH AND FULLY OPEN WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. FIRST IT HAPPENED WHEN TURNING A CORNER FROM A STOPPED POSITION. SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT ON A CITY STREET AT APPROX 30 MPH.

I STARTED MY 2012 EDGE AND HEARD THE STARTER TAKE LONGER TO TURN OVER AND START THE CAR. WITHIN MOMENTS THE CHECK ENGINE ICON APPEARED. I TOOK MY EDGE IN TO AUTO HOBBY SHOP LOCATED ON A MILITARY INSTALLATION. THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE USED HIS CODE READER MACHINE TO VIEW CODE P0456. WHICH HE SAID IT INDICATED A MINOR FUEL LEAK. HE PERFORMED A SMOKE CHECK SAID HE NOTICED SMOKE LEAKING. I CALLED MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP TO CHECK IF THERE WERE ANY FUEL SYSTEM RECALLS. THEY SAID THERE WAS, BUT NOT FOR MY VIN. OF THE 3 RECALLS OUT FOR A 20012 EDGE, I ONLY RECIEVED ONE. ARE RECALLS ONLY FOR SPECIFIC YEARS/MODELS/VIN'S? HOW CAN I GET MY ISSUE REPAIRED? COULD MY VIN BE ADDED TO THE RECALL IF I HAD A RELATING ISSUE?

AFTER PULLING OUT IN TRAFFIC ON 1/15/18, GOING ABOUT 50 MPH, MY 2012 FORD EDGE SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND THE WRENCH WARNING LIGHT APPEARED. I HAD TO SHUT THE CAR DOWN AND RESTART IT SEVERAL TIMES TO SLOWLY GET IT OUT OF TRAFFIC - EACH TIME THE WRENCH WARNING LIGHT APPEARED AND THE VEHICLE LOST POWER. FINALLY, AFTER GETTING OUT OF TRAFFIC I SHUT IT DOWN AND LET IT SIT FOR A FEW MINUTES, RESTARTED IT AND THIS TIME THE AWD WARNING LIGHT APPEARED BUT MY CAR IS NOT AN AWD VEHICLE. THEN THE WRENCH LIGHT APPEARED AGAIN. HAD IT TOWED TO THE LOCAL DEALER. THEY COULDN'T FIND ANY COMPUTER MEMORY RECORD OF WHAT HAPPENED AND HAD THEIR TECHNICIAN DRIVE IT HOME TO SEE IF THE PROBLEM DUPLICATED ITSELF. IT DID NOT. AFTER 3 DAYS AT THE DEALERSHIP THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE AND I PICKED IT UP AND DROVE IT HOME. I SHOULD ADD THAT MY VEHICLE HAS ONLY 26,000 MILES ON IT. IN READING THESE COMPLAINTS MINE IS NOT THE ONLY COMPLAINT ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND FORD NEEDS TO FIGURE OUT AND REPAIR THOSE VEHICLES AFFECTED BY THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE!

INTERIOR LIGHTING AND REVIEW MIRRORS LIGHTING. THIS VEHICLE LIGHTING STAYS ON FOR AND EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN PARKED AND REMOVED THE KEYS FROM THE IGNITION. THERE ARE TIMES WHEN THE LNTERIOR LIGHTS WILL BE ON WHEN PARKED OR IN A STATIONARY POSITION.

DISPLAY PANEL: DOOR AJAR INDICATOR. OPEN AND CLOSE THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR ON SEVERAL ACCOUNTS AND INDICATOR LIGHT WOULD NOT GO OUT ON THE DISPLAY PANEL. THIS INDICATOR REMAINS WHETHER STATIONARY OR IN MOTION.

BACKUP CAMERA IS UPSIDE DOWN. LESS THAN 92000 MILES HAPPEN ONLY WHEN IS REVERSE. WHEN SHIFTED INTO DRIVE PICTURE REMAINS AND TAKE SEVERAL MIN. TO RETURN TO NORMAL. WHILE WAITING TO RETURN TO NORMAL FUNCTIONS NO FUNCTIONS ARE ABLE TO BE USED.

CAR HAS BEEN HAVING ELECTRIC ISSUES FOR A WHILE. USUALLY DETECTED ONCE TRYING TO START. FIRST ISSUE IS THE BACK UP CAMERA. THAT NO LONGER WORKS WHILE IN REVERSE. SCREEN INDICATED IT IS NOT AVAILABLE. WE ALSO RECENTLY HAD TO REPLACE THE SHIFTING COLUMN. AFTER A TRIP OF DRIVING COMING TO A FULL STOP SHIFTING TO PARK THE CAR WOULD NOT STAY ON "PARK". IT WOULD NOT CATCH THE GEAR UNLESS THE BUTTON ON THE SHIFT COLUMN WAS TOYED WITH A FEW TIMES PRESSING ON THE BUTTON SO CAR RECOGNIZES "PARK". IT WOULD SEARCH FOR "PARK" WHEN CAR WAS OFF WHICH WOULD CAUSE THE BATTERY TO EVENTUALLY DIE. WE FIRST PURCHASED A BATTERY THINKING IT'S TIME TO REPLACE BUT ONCE WE DID, IT KILLED OUR BATTERY AGAIN AND THEN IS WHEN I KNEW I HAD TO TAKE IT INTO FORD. $700+ TO FIX ISSUE CURRENTLY NOT RECALLED. THIS ALSO FORCED US TO BUY JUMP STARTING CABLES BEFORE IT WAS TAKEN IN. CAR LEFT US STRANDED A FEW TIMES BECAUSE OF THIS. DEAD BATTERY:( THIRD ELECTRIC ISSUE IS THAT THE BLUETOOTH SYSTEM DOESN'T ALWAYS CATCH A DEVICE. OFTEN THE SYNC SCREEN ON THE DISPLAY WILL PULL UP WITH A LOADING BAR. THIS HAPPENS RANDOMLY WHEN STARTING CAR AT TIMES WHILE IN PART.

BRAKE CONCERN - THE BRAKES ON MY 2012 FORD EDGE ARE VERY SPONGY, YOU MUST DEPRESS ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR IN ORDER TO STOP. I SEE THE BRAKE BOOSTER WAS REPLACED ONCE UNDER A OWNER NOTIFICATION PROGRAM WHICH TECHNICALLY ISN'T A RECALL BUT IT IS SOMETHING FORD PROVIDES AS A CUSTOMER SATISFACTION ACTION. I FEEL THE CONCERN IS RELATED TO THE ORIGINAL PROGRAM BUT THE BRAKING CONCERN IS STILL PRESENT AND I AM CONCERNED THAT SOMETHING BIGGER MAY BE GOING ON. I AM PLEADING FOR ASSISTANCE IN GETTING THIS RESOLVED BECAUSE IT WOULD BE COSTLY OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE FOR ME CONSIDERING IT IS A KNOWN CONCERN WITHIN FORD.
