2011 FORD EDGE Complaints

DRIVE BELT WAS SHREDDED AND GOT IT REPLACED THE NEXT DAY I WAS DRIVING AND MY CAR STALLED IN MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT TO A SHOP WHERE I HAD THE CAR CHECKED AND NOW IT IS THROWING ALL KINDS OF CODES. THE CAR KEEPS STALLING AND HESITATING CONSTANTLY

CAR CONTINUOUSLY SAYS THAT IT NEEDS TO BE SHIFTED INTO PARK EVEN THOUGH IT IS ALREADY IN PARK.

STALLS AND WON'T ACCELERATE WHILE GOING DOWN THE ROAD. JUST IDLES REAL ROUGH. CAN ONLY COAST TO A STOP. CAN'T STEER. WRENCH COMES ON THE DISPLAY. EVERYTHING I HAVE READ SAID IT IS PROBABLY THE THROTTLE BODY. HAS LESS THAN 40,000 MILES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD WHEN IT WAS DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE FAILED TO STOP. THERE WAS NO WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TUTTLE-CLICK FORD LINCOLN (949-472-5200, LOCATED AT 43 AUTO CENTER DR, IRVINE, CA 92618), BUT THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO KEARNY PEARSON FORD (858-560-5544, LOCATED AT 7303 CLAIREMONT MESA BLVD, SAN DIEGO, CA 92111) WHERE THE BRAKE BOOSTER WAS REPLACED. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 120,000. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED.

I HAVE RECEIVED FAULTY ERROR MESSAGES ON THE VEHICLE, FOR EXAMPLE THE OTHER DAY I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE LIGHT CAME ON LIKE THE CAR WAS OVERHEATED HOWEVER THERE WAS NO SMOKE COMING FROM THE CAR AND THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE NEVER MOVED UP. MY PASSENGER CAR DOOR LIGHT SENSOR SAYS THAT THERE IS A DOOR AJAR WHEN ALL DOORS ARE CLOSED WHETHER THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY OR DRIVING ALONG THE CITY STREET. WHEN I OPEN THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR AND CLOSE IT SOMETIMES THE INSIDE LIGHTS REMAIN ON IN THE VEHICLE.

DRIVING TO WORK ON STREETS AND CAME TO A STOP LIGHT ,HIT MY BRAKES AND THE DID NOT STOP. AFTER HITTING MY BRAKES A COUPLE MORE TIMES MY CAR STOPPED. MY BRAKES WERE DOWN AS FAR AS THEY COULD GO. TOOK CAR TO FORD DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT WAS A MODULAR THAT NEED TO BE REPLACED FOR $1400.00 .I THINK IS TO MUCH FOR A SENIOR CITIZEN TO PAY.

DOOR LACH FOR DIRVER SIDE IT WOULD NOT CLOSE. KEEPS DOOR OPEN. MESSAGE WITH AJAR DOOR OPEN. THIS ISSUE OCCURES WHILE DRIVING AS WELL. THIS IS A HAZARD ISSUE. ALSO, KILLS THE BATTERY AS CAR COULD NOT BE LOCKED.

AFTER BREAKING SOMEWHAT HARD TO AVOID AN INCIDENT THE BREAK PEDAL WAS INCREDIBLY "SPONGY" AND WOULD NEED TO GO TO THE FLOOR TO ENGAGE THE BREAKS. TWO MECHANIC SHOPS, OTHER THAN THE DEALERSHIP, INSPECTED AND DETERMINED THAT THE POWER BOOSTER MAY BE THE ISSUE AN INFORMED US THAT THERE WAS A RECALL 13N02 FOR THIS VEHICLE. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY DETERMINED IT WAS THE MASTER CYLINDER AND NOT THE POWER BOOSTER. THEN THEY CLAIMED IT WAS THE HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT AND THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. OVER $1000 LATER THE PROBLEM WAS SOLVED. AFTER REVIEWING SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THE HCU IT APPEARS THAT THIS DEVICE IS FAULTY AND IS ACKNOWLEDGED BY FORD HOWEVER THEY HAVE FAILED TO ISSUE AN IMPORTANT RECALL. APPARENTLY THE ALGORITHM FOR A RECALL HAS NOT BEEN MET WITH FAULTY UNITS. THIS FAULTY DEVICE NEEDS TO HAVE A CLASS ACTION ESTABLISHED TO COVER THE FAULTY DEVICES AND FIX THE ISSUE AND NOT TO MENTION THE REIMBURSEMENT TO THE CONSUMER.

ON FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 28, 2018, OUR 2011 FORD EDGE LIMITED LOST THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE AND BEGAN DECELERATING ON A FREEWAY WHILE BEING DRIVEN AT 60 MPH. MY HUSBAND HAD TO "COAST" OFF THE FREEWAY AND CAME TO A DEAD STOP WITHOUT ANY WARNING (E.G. NO CHECK ENGINE OR OTHER LIGHTS TURNED ON) IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION, AT WHICH TIME THE ENGINE BEGAN SMOKING. MANY HOURS LATER WE WERE INFORMED BY A SERVICE TECHNICIAN AT OUR CLOSEST FORD DEALERSHIP, THE THE INTERNAL WATER PUMP HAD FAILED AND FLOODED THE ENGINE WITH COOLANT AND OIL. HE STATED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WE DID TO CAUSE IT AND NOTHING COULD HAVE PREVENTED IT BECAUSE IT WAS DUE TO A "POOR DESIGN" BY FORD. HE STATED HE HAD SEEN THIS SEVERAL TIMES AND THAT OUR ENGINE WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED (AT A COST OF ALMOST $9K). INTERNET RESEARCH HAS SHOWN THAT WE ARE NOT THE ONLY PEOPLE TO EXPERIENCE THIS AND THAT THERE IS A PENDING CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST FORD MOTOR COMPANY FOR THIS VERY ISSUE. AS OF RIGHT NOW, THE CARD IS COMPLETELY DEAD AND CANNOT BE DRIVEN, AND FORD IS REFUSING TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR NEGLIGENCE.

ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO MY FRONT PASSENGER DOOR AJAR LIGHT STARTED TO COME ON WHEN THE DOOR WAS CLEARLY CLOSED. IT SINCE INCREASINGLY GOTTEN WORSE TO THE POINT WHERE IT ALWAYS COMES ON ANY TIME THE DOOR IS OPENED, AND SOMETIMES WHILE DRIVING. IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD AT NIGHT WHILE TRYING TO DRIVE AS THE DOME LIGHT WILL NOT TURN OFF, AS WELL AS THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK, & IT CONTINUES TO DRAIN MY BRAND NEW BATTERY THAT WAS JUST INSTALLED.
