2015 FORD EDGE Complaints

SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING MY FORD EDGE, IT DEVELOPED CONDENSATION IN THE TAIL LIGHT COMPARTMENT. IT HAS PROGRESSED INTO A LEAK IN THE TAILGATE LEAVING WATER IN THE BRAKE LIGHT COMPARTMENT. SINCE THEN, THE LEAK HAS CAUSED MY LIGHTING SYSTEM TO QUIT WORKING WHICH POSES A SAFETY THREAT. THIS OBVIOUS DESIGN DEFECT POSES A SAFETY THREAT. FURTHER, I SEE MANY OTHER FORD EDGES OUT ON THE ROAD WITH THIS SAME DEFECT WHICH POSES A SAFETY THREAT TO NUMEROUS DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. ORDINARY WEAR AND TEAR COULD NOT ACCOUNT FOR THIS PROBLEM SO SOON IN THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE AND VERY SHORTLY AFTER I PURCHASED IT. (CERTIFIED, PRE-OWNED FROM THE DEALERSHIP). I AM A CAREFUL AND CONSCIENTIOUS OWNER, AS THE GENERAL CONDITION OF THE CAR SHOWS. I HAVE NOT DONE ANYTHING TO THE CAR THAT WOULD CAUSE THIS DEFECT.

THE LIFT GATE WHEN IT'S OPEN WILL RANDOMLY START CLOSING ON ITS OWN. NO BUTTON HAS BEEN PUSHED AT ALL AND IT JUST STARTS CLOSING. IT DOES NOT SENSE THAT ANYONE IS THERE AND IF I DON'T MOVE QUICKLY ENOUGH OUT OF THE WAY IT WOULD CLOSE ON ME. IT HAS DONE THIS MANY TIMES AND MOST RECENTLY THIS MORNING AS I WAS TAKING SOME THINGS OUT OF THE BACK AND AND THE LIFT GATE STARTED CLOSING ON ITS OWN AND HIT ME IN THE HEAD AND I MOVED OUT OF THE WAY AS QUICK AS I COULD. I'M VERY NERVOUS IF ONE TIME I MAY NOT BE ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE WAY IN TIME.

AFTER STOPPING TO PARK THE CAR IN A STREET PARKING SPOT (THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY), I PLACED THE GEAR SHIFTER IN PARK, HOWEVER THE VEHICLE WENT INTO REVERSE. THE SHIFTER CABLE BUSHING DEGRADED AND FELL OFF THE CABLE WHICH DETACHED THE CABLE FROM THE TRANSMISSION. I KNOW THAT OTHER FORD VEHICLES HAVE THE SAME ISSUE, BUT THERE IS NO RECALL ISSUED FOR FORD EDGE VEHICLES EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE WHOLE CABLE (CLAIMED THAT THE BUSHING IS PART OF THE CABLE) AND CHARGED ME $700. THE DEALERSHIP INVOICE AND A COUPLE OF PICTURES OF THE MISSING BUSHING ARE ATTACHED AS A PDF DOCUMENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD VIBRATE WHILE AT A COMPLETE STOP WITHOUT WARNING. HE ALSO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD VIBRATE UPON TURNING ON THE AIR CONDITIONING. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO ROCKWALL FORD (990 E INTERSTATE 30, ROCKWALL, TX 75087) WHERE HE WAS INFORMED THAT THE FLEX PLATE FRACTURED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND A CLAIM WAS FILED. SINCE FILING THE CLAIM, NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE VEHICLE HAD YET TO BE REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,984.

SUN ROOF GLASS HAS CRACKED AND HAS BEEN ADVANCING AS TIME PROGRESSES, IT CANNOT BE FELT FROM UNDER OR TOP OF THE GLASS.

FLEXPLATE CRACKED. ONLY 53,000 MILES AND REQUIRES A NEW SHORT BLOCK ENGINE REPLACEMENT. THE FLEXPLATE IS NOTED TO BE A DEFECTIVE PART FROM FORD. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN ON A VEHICLE WITH ONLY 53,000 MILES. THE CRANKSHAFT, PISTONS, FLEXPLATE, TORQUE CONVERTER AND MANY MORE PARTS ALL HAVE TO BE REPLACED ON MY VEHICLE. THIS ISSUE COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS CRASH OR EVEN DEATH. *TR

MY 2015 FORD EDGE HAS ONLY 16,500 MILES ON IT AS I ONLY USE IT ON OCCASION. THIS WEEK THE POWERTRAIN SYMBOL CAME ON AND A FEW MINUTES LATER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON!! I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WHEN THIS OCCURRED. *TR

ENGINE LIGHT KEPT COMING ON AND THEN TURNING OFF. HAD CAR INSPECTED AND THERE WAS A MISFIRE IN CYLINDER 3. AFTER FURTHER INSPECTION, THERE IS COOLANT LEAKING INTO THE 3RD CYLINDER. THE ONLY FIX IS TO REPLACE THE ENGINE. *TR

THE FORD EDGE HAS A CRACKED FLEXPLATE AND EMITS A RATTLING NOISE AND FORD WILL NOT ADDRESS THE PROBLEM. A CRACKED FLEXPLATE SHOULD NOT HAPPEN, LET ALONE AT 50K. THE VEHICLE NOW SOUNDS LIKE A DIESEL AND PUTS THE DRIVER AND OTHERS AT RISK. SHOULD THE FLEXPLATE FAIL, THE RESULTING DAMAGES AND INJURIES COULD BE DEADLY. THIS HAPPENS ARE STARTUP AND WHEN SLOWING DOWN. *TR

THE BRAKE HOSE SPLIT WHILE DRIVING. I LOST BRAKE PEDAL. THE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WITH NO DECREASE IN SPEED. I WAS FORCED TO COAST INTO A PARKING LOT. *TR
