2011 FORD EDGE Complaints

THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE POWER SUN ROOF OPENED AND FAILED TO CLOSE. THE SUN ROOF REMAINED CONTINUOUSLY IN THE OPEN POSITION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENTIRE SUN ROOF WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. I LOOKED AT THE MOULDING AROUND THE WINDOW FROM THE TOP- AND THAT IS THE ONLY PART THAT IS SNAGGING THE WINDOW FROM CLOSING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THE ENTIRE WINDOW NEEDED TO BE REPLACED $810 VS. JUST ORDERING THE 2 MOULDINGS ON THE TOP OF THE CAR. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000.

INTERNAL WATER PUMP EXPLODED INSIDE, CAUSING ENGINE TO LOCK AND OTHER DAMAGES IN THE ENGINE. VEHICLE WAS IN GARAGE FOR SIMPLE TUNE UP. THEN DURING CHECKIN, THE ENGINE STOPPED. VEHICLE COULD NOT RESTART.

FIRST OF ALL THE FIRST PROBLEM I ENCOUNTERED WITH MY VEHICLE WAS THE PASSENGER WHEEL BARRING WAS DEFECTED AND STARTED MAKING A BAD NOISE SO TOOK IT TO THE SHOP AND THE MECHANIC SAID LUCKY I DID BECAUSE IS WAS ABOUT TO BREAK AND CAUSE MY WHEEL TO COME OFF GOING DOWN THE ROAD. AFTER THAT I NOTICED THAT MY ENGINE WOULD RUN HOT IF I SAT STILL IN THE PARKING LOT JUST RUNNING EVEN WITH THE AC OFF. I HAD NO WARNING THAT ANYTHING WAS WRONG. I TURNED MY CAR OFF AND IT DIDN'T SEEM TO DO IT ANYMORE UNTIL WE STARTED GETTING THIS REALLY HOT WEATHER THIS MAY, ME AND MY FAMILY WAS GOING IN TO TOWN TO GRAB A BITE TO EAT WHEN (WITHOUT ANY WARNING) MY CAR STARTS SPUTTERING AS IF I PUT BAD GAS IN IT. MY HUSBAND INSTRUCTED ME TO PULL OVER AND TAKE A LOOK AND LOW AND BEHOLD MY CAR HAS BEEN RUNNING HOT JUST AFTER DRIVING ONLY 10 MINUTES. HE PULLED THE DIPSTICK AND OIL IS MILKY AND OIL WAS ALL IN THE WATER RESIVOUR. MY CAR HAD OVER HEATED WITHOUT ANY WARNING THAT ANYTHING WAS WRONG AND BLOWN HEAT GASKET AND CRACKED HEADS. MY ENGINE SHOT. WE TOOK IT TO THE SHOP WHERE I HAD TO PURCHASE A NEW ENGINE AND AFTER THE MECHANIC RAN A DIAGNOSTICS TEST ON MY CAR HE SAID THAT THE FAN CONTROL MODULE WAS FAULTY WHICH DID NOT ALLOW MY COOLING FANS TO COME ON AT ALL AND MY SYSTEM NEVER ALERTED ME EITHER. WE REPLACED COOLING FANS ALONG WITH MODULE. EVERYTHING SEEMS FINE AFTER 2,000 DOLLARS LATER. FYI NEVER RELY ON YOUR INFORMATION SCREEN TO TELL YOU IF YOUR RUNNING HOT, GO TO SETTINGS AND KEEP YOUR SCREEN ON THE TEMP GAUGE AT ALL TIMES SO YOU WILL KNOW FOR YOURSELF HOW COOL YOUR ENGINE IS RUNNING. I WOULD BE NICE AFTER ALL THE COMPLAINTS FORD HAS RECEIVED ABOUT THESE PIECE OF CRAP COOLING FANS THAT THEY WILL JUST SUCK IT UP AND DO THE RECALL. WE ARE HARD WORKING AMERICANS AND DONT DESERVE THIS CRAP. WE SUPPORT FORD AN AMERICAN CAR MANUFACTURER AND EXPECT THE SAME RESPECT!!

DOOR AJAR WARNING ALWAYS ON EVEN WHEN DOORS ARE CLOSED. DOME LIGHTS REMAIN ON AND UNABLE TO LOCK OR SECURE THE VEHICLE. DRAINS BATTERY LEAVING ME STRANDED. IT REMAINS ON WHEN THE CAR IS ON, OFF, MOVING, NOT MOVING, WITH OR WITHOUT OCCUPANTS.

DISPLAY SCREEN IS BLACK. NO RADIO, SYNC, CLIMATE CONTROLS ETC. WAS TOLD BY THE LOCAL DEALER THAT THE A-PIM MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. VERY EXPENSIVE. WHY DID THIS HAPPEN?

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON FROM ERROR CODE P0456 - SMALL LEAK DETECTED IN THE EVAPORATIONS EMISSIONS (EVAP) SYSTEM. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS FUELED WITH GASOLINE. MY MECHANIC ADVISED THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN FORDS WITH THE NO GAS CAP SYSTEM.
