2015 FORD EDGE Complaints

COOLANT WAS LOW ON 11.27.2020 ONLY NOTED DUE TO LOSS OF HEAT IN CABIN. ON 12.10.2020 COOLANT HEAT DID NOT WORK AGAIN CHECKED COOLANT LOW AGAIN TOOK TO DEALER DETERMINED "COOLANT INTRUSION INTO ENGINE CYLINDER 3" ESTEMATED REPAIR COST 8K DOLLARS

THE FRONT BRAKES ARE EXTREMELY TOUCHY, PERIODICALLY WHEN COMING TO A STOP. WHEN YOU JUST IMMEDIATELY TOUCH THE BRAKES IT LOW-SPEED THE CAR COMES TO A JERKING STOP. I READ ONLINE THERE IS A RECALL DUE TO SOME IMPROPER SOFTWARE BEING INSTALLED DURING THE TIMEFRAME MY CAR WAS MANUFACTURED. I WOULD THINK THIS COULD ABSOLUTELY CONTRIBUTE TO THE PROBLEM. EVER SINCE I PURCHASED A VEHICLE I'VE COMPLAINED TO THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THERE'S NO PROBLEM. I AM A PROFESSIONAL DRIVER, I DRIVE FOR WORK I'VE DRIVEN OVER 2,000,000 MILES IN MY LIFE AND I KNOW WHAT I'M HAVING BRAKE ISSUES. I WENT TO THE DEALER ABOUT THE ONLINE NOTIFICATION AND THEY TOLD ME THE ONLY RECALL IS FOR BRAKE HOSES AND THEY HAVE NOTHING FOR ANTI-LOCK SOFTWARE ISSUES. COULD SOMEBODY PLEASE CLEAR THIS UP FOR ME AS I CAN'T EVEN USE THIS VEHICLE TO TEACH MY DAUGHTERS HOW TO DRIVE BECAUSE THE BRAKES ARE SO UNPREDICTABLY TOUCHY. MEETING SOMETIMES THEY'RE FINE AND OTHER TIMES THEY ARE NOT, USUALLY WHEN YOU LEAST EXPECT IT. THANK YOU

I WENT TO GO TO GROCERY STORE AND NOTICED MY BACK WINDOW HAD SHATTERED, IT APPEARED TO HAVE IMPLODED FROM INSIDE TO OUTSIDE OF CAR AS GLASS WAS STILL IN PLACE, JUST SHATTERED AND WAS BULGING TO OUTSIDE OF VEHICLE WITH GLASS ON DRIVEWAY AND NONE ON INSIDE OF CAR UNTIL I OPENED DOOR AND LIGHTLY SHUT DOOR BACK AND A SMALL CHUNK THEN FELL INSIDE OF CAR, MY CAR HAD BEEN STATIONARY AT TIME IT HAPPENED, I DROVE CAR EARLIER THIS AM TO CHURCH AND HAD NO ISSUES, OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE WAS 38 DEGREES AND WINDOWS WERE FOGGED UP, SO I DID TURN ON FRONT AND BACK DEFROST FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES UNTIL CLEARED UP, TIME I GOT HOME FROM CHURCH, IT WAS ABOUT 12:45PM, THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE WAS AROUND MID 50'S, WINDOW WAS FINE WHEN I PARKED IN DRIVEWAY, THEN ABOUT 5:30PM I WENT TO GET IN VEHICLE AND NOTICED BACK GLASS SHATTERED, I DID LOOK AT IT CLOSELY TO MAKE SURE IT WAS NOT INTENTIONALLY BROKEN, I TOOK SEVERAL PHOTOS TO SHOW WINDOW PUSHING OUTWARDS. I LOOKED ONLINE AND FOUND MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT SAME ISSUE BUT NO FORD RECALLS.

WHILE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE, THE REAR WINDOW SHATTERED. I PULLED OVER TO CHECK THE DAMAGE AND CONCLUDED NOTHING HIT THE WINDOW TO CAUSE THIS DAMAGE. WHILE INVESTIGATING (ONLINE REPORTS AND SPEAKING WITH REPAIR SPECIALISTS) THE CAUSE OF THIS DAMAGE MAY BE RELATED TO THE HEATING STRIPS (FOR DEFROSTING) IN THE WINDOW.

I HAVE WHAT APPEARS TO BE A COOLANT LEAK WITH ANY WARNING WHATSOEVER I PURCHASED THE CAR USED (ONE OWNER) 3 MONTHS AGO

CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF THE FLEXPLATE WHILE DRIVING AT 55 MPH. ALSO DESTROYED THE TORQUE CONVERTER AND TRANSMISSION PUMP

WHILE DRIVING ACROSS OAK ISLAND 2 LANE BRIDGE AT APPROX 45 MPH, MY EDGE STARTED REVVING AT A HIGH RPM, ONE LOUD CLUNK & CAR WAS STILL RUNNING, BUT LOST ALL TRANSMISSION. I TRIED TO SHIFT IN ANOTHER GEAR, BUT NO POWER TRANSFER. TRAFFIC WAS HEAVY & SHOULDER WAS SMALL. DRIFTED TO STOP IN SHOULDER & CALLED 911. POLICE CAME & PROTECTED MY VEHICLE WHICH WAS IN AN EXTREMELY BAD POSITION. I HAD NOWHERE TO GO IF I WANTED TO MOVE TO A SAFER POSITION. I HAD TO WAIT IN VEHICLE UNTIL POLICE CAME. IT WAS SUNDAY, TOW TRUCK OPERATOR WAS ON CALL. ALL TOTAL I WAS IN THAT LOCATION FOR MORE THAN AN HOUR. HAD CAR TOWED TO LOCAL MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED IT TO BE SHATTERED FLYWHEEL AT LEAST. PROBABLY MORE DAMAGE, BUT RECOMMENDED TO HAVE IT SERVICED AT A FORD DEALERSHIP DUE TO THEIR INTERNAL SERVICE BULLETINS NOTING THIS ISSUE. BULLETIN #19-2236 8/6/2019

MY BREAKS ARE SUPER SENSITIVE. JUST TAPPING THE BREAK AT SLOW SPEEDS WILL CAUSE IT TO LOCK UP THE BREAKS. AT HIGH SPEEDS IT IS A LITTLE BETTER BUT STILL HAVE TO CONSTANTLY ADJUST THE AMOUNT OF PRESSURE APPLIED TO AVOID SKID/ABS FROM KICKING IN. BROUGHT TO DEALER FOR REPAIRS AND THEY REPLACED BREAK BOOSTER PART B. THAT DID NOT CORRECT THE ISSUE. HAS BEEN LIKE THIS SINCE I BOUGHT IT IN 2019. I WAS TOLD "IT WAS A BREAK FLAP". NO SUCH THING. MY BROTHER HAS A VEHICLE FROM SAME MANUFACTURER SAME YEAR DIFFERENT MAKE AND THE MASTER CYLINDER WAS RECALLED AND THAT CORRECTED HIS ISSUE. HAVING BREAKS THAT YOU CAN'T TRUST IS A HORRIBLE FEELING EVEN WORSE HEADING INTO WINTER. IS THIS A COMMON ISSUE FOR 2015 FORD EDGES? BECAUSE THIS IS LEAVING ME WITH BAD FEELINGS TOWARD FORD MORTOR COMPANY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V632000 (STEERING). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DUNPHY FORD (7700 FRANKFORD AVE, PHILADELPHIA, PA 19136) FOR THE FREE REPAIR. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER THE REPAIR WAS PERFORMED, THE VEHICLE LOSS POWER STEERING FUNCTIONALITY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE SAME DEALER. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE POWER STEERING RACK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND IT WOULD BE AN OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 81,289.

WHEN PARKING THE VEHICLE THE SHIFTER GOT STUCK IN PARK BUT THE VEHICLE ITSELF WAS STUCK IN NEUTRAL. HAD TO PUT ON PARKING BRAKE AND GET VEHICLE TOWED (09/20). VEHICLE WAS FIXED. ISSUES WITH ELECTRONICS ON SHIFTER (10/19/20). REVERSING OUT OF DRIVEWAY ONTO STREET. WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO SHIFT INTO DRIVE THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF NEUTRAL. COASTED DOWN THE HILL 500' AND PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER AT INTERSECTION. SHIFTER WOULD MOVE BUT THE INDICTOR ON THE DASH WOULD NOT SAY IT WAS OUT OF NEUTRAL. I TRIED A FEW THINGS BEFORE PUTTING IT INTO PARK WHICH AGAIN LOCKED UP THE SHIFTER. SHIFTER WAS STUCK IN PARK BUT VEHICLE WAS IN NEUTRAL. HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED AGAIN TO FORD DEALERSHIP. THIS TIME IT WAS THE SHIFTER BUSHING FELL APART. WAITING TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS NEXT WITH THIS ISSUE. LUCKILY IT WAS ONLY MYSELF AND NOT MY CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE WHEN I HAD TO COAST DOWN THE HILL AND LEFT AT AN INTERSECTION.
