2014 FORD EDGE Complaints

MY WIFE AND I STOPPED FOR LUNCH, AND PARKED ON A CITY STREET. (85 I REMEMBER LOOKING AT MY PHONE WHEN I STOPPED AND SHUT OFF THE CAR USING THE PUSH BUTTON ON THE DASH. WE WALKED TO THE FOOD STAND AND SOMEONE TAPPED ME ON THE SHOULDER TO INFORM ME THAT MY CAR ROLLED DOWN THE STREET. I ATTACHED A PICTURE BELOW. I CRAWLED TO THE DRIVER SIDE THROUGH THE PASSENGER DOOR. THE CAR CAME TO A STOP BY HITTING A SMALL TREE, AND JUST MISSED A LARGE TREE. I WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT THE CAR ROLLED SLOW ENOUGH THE CARS AND PEOPLE WERE ABLE TO AVOID CONTACT. THERE WAS A CROWD, BUT THANKFULLY NO ONE CALLED THE POLICE. THE CAR ONLY HAD A SMALL SCRATCH ON THE BUMPER. I ALSO REMEMBER A BING..BING..BING NOISE WHEN WE EXITED THE VEHICLE PRIOR TO IT ROLLING AWAY. IT MADE THE SAME NOISE THEN I LEAVE MY HEADLIGHTS ON, BUT THEY AUTO SHUT-OFF IN THE PAST. YOU MAY HAVE FIGURED OUT THAT I FORGOT TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK. YES I MADE AN ERROR, BUT FORD COULD HAVE THE CAR MAKE A LOUD NOISE IF THE DRIVER DOOR IS OPENED BEFORE OR AFTER THE ENGINE IS SHUT OFF AND THE CAR IS NOT IN PARK. I AM A 29 YEAR EMT, AND I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT SAFETY IS ALWAYS ON MY MIND, BUT JUST NOT ON THIS DAY. I AM 63 YEARS OLD, AND ALL MY PREVIOUS CARS WERE UNABLE TO REMOVE THE KEYS IF THE CAR WAS NOT IN PARK. SO IT'S ALL ABOUT THE PUSH BUTTON START/STOP BUTTON. THANKS FOR READING, AND MAYBE YOU CAN SUGGEST A FIX TO FORD.

WENT TO DEALER FOR OIL CHANGE / TIRE ROTATION - ALSO TO CHECK LOSS OF AIR IN RIGHT REAR TIRE - SERVICEMAN PULLED A NAIL AND FIXED TIRE - BUT SAID THERE WAS A CRACK ON THE WHEEL ( 22 INCH POWDERED ALUMINUM) AND SHOULD B REPLACED - CR USED FOR VERY LIGHT DRIVING ONLY HAS 23,000 MILES SINCE 2014. *TR

VEHICLE ABRUPTLY SLOWED DOWN WHILE GOING 35-40 MPH. ERROR MESSAGE ON DISPLAY SAID SEE OWNERS MANUAL WITH THE WRENCH SYMBOL WHICH IS A LOSS TO THE POWER TRAIN. VEHICLE HAD A ROUGH IDLE AND GAS PEDAL WAS NOT RESPONDING AND I HAD TO BE COAST TO SIDE OF ROAD AFTER WHICH IT WAS TURNED OFF. AFTER ABOUT 3-5 MINUTES I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE. I WAS GOING STRAIGHT AND UP A SMALL INCLINE. VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO FORWARD AND I HAD TO COAST BACKWARDS DOWN HILL.

DRIVER LOST CONTROL WHILE DRIVING. THE 2014 FORD EDGE DROVE INTO THE DITCH AT ABOUT 45 MILES PER HOUR. MULTIPLE TREES WERE TAKEN OUT THEN CAR COLLIDED FRONT ON WITH A LARGE TREE, WHICH STOPPED THE VEHICLE. IMPACT CAUSED DRIVER TO HIT HEAD ON THE STEERING WHEEL, CAUSING A CONCUSSION. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY.

CAR HESITATES 4 OR 5 SECONDS WHEN GOING FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE WHEN INCREASING SPEED ON HIGHWAY TO CHANGE LANES OR AFTER COASTING THEN TRY TO ACCELERATE FORD SAYS TOUGH LIVE WITH IT TRIED SEVERAL TIMES TO HAVE IT REPAIRED THEY SAY CANT BE DONE

THE FUEL STOPS GOING TO THE ENGINE WHILE DRIVING ON A COUNTRY ROAD. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON 3 OCCASION SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR IN 2014. DATES OF OCCURRENCE 12/24/15, 8/5/16, AND 8/12/16.

DOOR AJAR MESSAGE APPEARED WHEN DOOR IS SECURELY SHUT, ALSO SAYS SHIFT TO PARK, DOORS DON'T LOCK WHEN THEY SHOULD, DOME LIGHTS REMAIN ON LONGER THAN THEY SHOULD, IT ALSO BINGS LIKE WHEN THE SEAT BELTS AREN'T FASTENED, CONSTANTLY HAVE TO PUSH THE OK BUTTON ON STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS TO STOP THE NOISE, CONTINUES TO DO THIS THROUGHOUT EA TIME I DRIVE THE CAR. IT STARTED AT ABOUT 45,000 MILES, CURRENTLY HAVE 46,000 MILES AND IT CONTINUES EA TIME THE CAR IS STARTED AND THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE TRIP. I DO NOT HAVE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE, THE FORD DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THEY HAVE HAD TO REPLACE NUMEROUS SENSORS THAT IS CAUSING THIS ISSUE. IT WILL COST SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS FOR REPAIR, THAT I DON'T HAVE TO COVER THIS REPAIR. FORD SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO INSTALL DEFECTIVE SENSORS. MY CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW IN 2014.

WHEN YOU ACCELERATE TO PASS OR ENTER A FREEWAY YOU GET STRONG EXHAUST FUMES INSIDE THE CAR.SO STRONG YOU HAVE TO PUT THE WINDOWS DOWN TO CLEAR THEM OUT. HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE BACK TO DEALERSHIP 4 TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM. THEY HAVE DONE WHAT FORD SAID DO AND THAT DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. FORD SAID " WELL DON'T ACCELERATE HARD." TELL ME HOW YOU CAN GET ON A BUSY FREEWAY IN HOUSTON, TEXAS WITHOUT ACCELERATING HARD. THIS HAS CONVINCED ME THAT FORD DOES NOT CARE ABOUT CONSUMERS,SO I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER FORD.
