2011 FORD EDGE Complaints

WHEN ACCELERATING, YOU CAN FEEL THE DRIVERS AND/OR PASSENGER FRONT SEAT SHIFT BACKWARD. WHEN STOPPING, YOU CAN FEEL THE DRIVERS AND/OR PASSENGER FRONT SEAT SHIFT FORWARD. I HAVE QUESTIONED THIS AT THE DEALERSHIP WITHOUT RESOLUTION. I CAN'T FIND ANYTHING THAT WILL ALLOW ME TO TIGHTEN DOWN THE SEATS. I DON'T FEEL THIS EXTRA PLAY IN THE SEAT IS SAFE IN THE EVENT OF A WRECK.

MY 2011 FORD EDGE WITH BRAKES AT 1/2 USE HAS SUDDENLY BEGUN HAVING BREAKING ISSUES. PUSHING THE BRAKE USUALLY RESULTS IN IMMEDIATE ENGAGEMENT; NOW IT TRY'S TO ENGAGE BUT RELEASES AND GOES TO THE FLOOR; REQUIRES HEAVY HARD PRESSURE TAKING PEDAL COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR TO STOP VEHICLE. HAS BEEN ONE OR TWO INSTANCES OF INTERMITTENT OCCURRENCES; BUT SEEMS TO BE PERSISTENT NOW. NHTSA NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING FROM THE UNENDING LIST OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. NOT ANY SPECIFIC DRIVING CONDITION CREATING THE ISSUE TO OCCUR. THIS AM I WAS ON AN OPEN HIGHWAY WITH NO STOPPING/ STARTING DRIVING; THIS AFTERNOON I WAS IN TOWN.

DRIVING ON CITY STREETS 35-45MPH WHEN I HAD TO APPLY THE BRAKE. BRAKES FELT SPONGEY (NO ANTI LOCK FEEL) AND THE PEDAL WENT ALMOST TO THE FLOOR. THIS ORIGINALLY OCCURRED MID FEBRUARY 2019, BUT CORRECTED ITSELF AFTER LETTING THE CAR SIT OVERNIGHT. IT OCCURRED AGAIN LATE MARCH 2019 AND THIS TIME THE CONDITION PERSISTED AND MADE ME FEEL THAT THE BRAKES COULD ULTIMATELY FAIL. I CHECKED ONLINE AND FOUND MULTIPLE MENTIONS OF THIS ISSUE WITH FORD EDGES, BUT NO FORMAL RECALL - WHICH THE DEALERSHIP LATER VERIFIED. MY VEHICLE IS A 2011 WITH 135,000 MILES. THE VEHICLE HAS HAD ALL OF ITS REQUIRED/RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE AND IS IN GOOD CONDITION OTHERWISE. THE DIAGNOSIS WAS AS FOLLOWS - "FOUND THE MASTER WITH LEAK AND HCU/ABS SEEPING AND DUMP VALVE, E ON FOUND BRAKES BYPASSING". THE DEALER REPLACED THE CONTROL AND MODULE AND ALSO RECOMMENDED THAT I REPLACE THE MASTER CYLINDER, WHICH I AGREED TO ALLOW. EXPENSIVE REPAIR - JUST A BIT PAST $1900 WITH PARTS AND LABOR

WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY ROAD (APPROX 40 MPH) THE REAR WINDOW MADE A POPPING SOUND AND SHATTERED. A HOLE EMERGED ON THE DRIVER SIDE. IT LOOKS LIKE THE WINDOW PUSHED OUT AND THERE IS NO EVIDENCE THAT ANYTHING HIT THE WINDOW.

WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES THE BRAKE PEDAL SINKS TO THE FLOOR AND IS HESITANT TO STOP COMPLETELY. I HAVE HAD THE MASTER CYLINDER CHANGED, THE ABS PUMP HAS BEEN REPLACED AND THE VEHICLE HAD THE BRAKE BOOSTER REPLACED AROUND 1 YEAR AGO DUE TO A FORD RECALL. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR 3 WEEKS NOW AND THE MECHANIC CANNOT SEEM TO FIX THIS ISSUE. THIS SEEMS TO BE A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKE SYSTEM FOR THIS VEHICLE AND IS DANGEROUS TO THE OCCUPANTS OF THE VEHICLE AND OTHERS IN THE SURROUNDING AREAS. THIS ISSUE HAS THE POTENTIAL FOR RANDOM BRAKE LOSS WHICH CAN OCCUR IN INJURY OR DEATH.

BRAKE BOOSTER REPLACED UNDER RECALL 13N02 10/30/2017 AT NO CHARGE. APRIL 2019 BOOSTER FAILED AGAIN. FORD WILL NOT COVER UNDER WARRANTY. REPLACEMENT LASTED 16 MONTHS AND 6958 MILES.FORD SAYS WARRANTY ONLY COVERED FOR ONE YEAR. THE REPLACEMENT BY THE DEALER , AT MY EXPENSE, IS TWO YEARS.

SLOWING DOWN IN CITY TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN AT LOW SPEED AND PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. I WAS ABLE TO SWERVE TO AVOID HITTING CURB. HAD TO PUMP BRAKES AND PUSH ALMOST TO FLOOR TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THERE IS FLUID IN THE MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER AND NO LEAKS. BRAKE BOOSTER IS FUNCTIONAL AND BRAKES HAVE PLENTY OF PAD. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I WILL BE CONTACTING FORD DEALER IN TWO DAYS TO DISCUSS SITUATION.

BACK UP CAMERA STOPPED WORKING. MESSAGE APPEARS SAYING " CAMERA UNAVAILABLE PLEASE CONTACT DEALER" WHEN PLACED IN REVERSE.

DOOR INDICATOR LIGHT STAY ON INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON INDICATING THAT THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR IS OPEN WHEN DOOR IS SHUT.LIGHTS POP ON AT ANY RATE OF SPEED SCARY AND EXTREMELY DANGEROUS PASSENGER SIDE SEAT DOESN'T MOVE AT ALL SOMETIMES THE WHOLE SCREEN WILL GO A DIME WHITE AND BLANK DURING ANY RATE OF SPEED. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD EDGE. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE DOOR AJAR WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT ALL THE DOORS WERE COMPLETELY SHUT; HOWEVER, THE WARNING INDICATOR CONTINUED TO REMAIN ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 65,000.
