2011 FORD EDGE Complaints

I TOOK A LEFT TURN TO GET ONTO THE INTERSTATE ON 7/30/18 AT 7:45 AM. WHEN I STARTED TO ACCELERATE TO MERGE ONTO INTERSTATE WITHOUT WARNING MY CAR STALLED AND I WAS NOT ABLE TO ACCELERATE. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER THANKFULLY AND TURN MY EMERGENCY LIGHTS ON. MY CAR STARTED TO "JUMP" AND WAS BASICALLY STALLING OUT. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND THEN AFTER 5 MINUTES I WAS ABLE TO TURN THE CAR BACK ON AND IT RAN FINE. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY KEPT IT FOR TWO DAYS. THEY TRIED TO RECREATE THE ISSUE BUT WERE UNABLE TO AND SAID THEY COULD NOT READ THE ERROR ON THE COMPUTER BECAUSE IT HAD BEEN "WIPED" OUT WHEN I RESTARTED MY CAR. THEY TOLD ME TO COME BACK WHEN THE CAR STALLS AGAIN. I FEEL VERY UNSAFE DRIVING A CAR THAT CAN STALL OUT AND LOSE POWER AT ANY MINUTE. I DRIVE A 24 MILE BRIDGE WITH NO SHOULDERS DAILY AND INTERSTATES. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY SON AROUND IN THIS CAR. FORD WILL NOT DO ANYTHING FOR ME UNTIL THE CAR STALLS AGAIN. THEY TOLD ME NOT TO TURN IT OFF AND "LIMP" IT TO THE DEALERSHIP(DRIVE IT SLOWLY).

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD TAKING MY CHILD TO DAYCARE AND THEN GOING TO WORK LIKE WE DO EVERY DAY, WHEN THE VEHICLE STOPPED ACCELERATING. IT DIDN'T DIE, BUT IT JUST WOULDN'T LET ME ACCELERATE ANYMORE. I HAD TO TURN ON MY HAZARD LIGHTS AND GET OFF THE ROAD AS BEST AS I COULD SEEING AS HOW THERE WAS NO SHOULDER FOR ME TO PULL OVER ON. I PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND RESTARTED IT AND IT DROVE FINE AFTER THAT. I'VE LOOKED UP MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE SO I'M WORRIED THAT IT WILL CONTINUE HAPPENING AND WE MIGHT NOT BE SO LUCKY THE NEXT TIME. OF COURSE I JUST SURPASSED MY 100,000 WARRANTY SO THERE'S NO TELLING WHAT IT WILL COST TO FIX IT. SURELY FORD KNOWS THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT THOUSANDS OF THEIR CUSTOMERS WITH THIS SAME VEHICLE ARE HAVING. I'M NOT SURE WHY THEY HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING ABOUT IT YET.

AS I WAS TRAVELLING HOME FORM VACATION MY CHECK LIGHT CAME ON. I PULLED OVER AND CHECKED THE CAR MANUAL FOR THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THIS WARNING. THE MANUAL STATED THAT, "IF THIS WARNING STAYS ILLUMINATED, THEN IT MEANS THAT THE CAR IS DUE FOR A SERVICE MAINTENANCE. IF THE WARNING CONTINUES TO BLINK, THEN SERVICE IMMEDIATELY." I CONTINUED TO DRIVE FOR ANOTHER 5 MILES AND NOTICED THAT THE CAR WAS IDLING LOW AND RUNNING ROUGH. I CAME TO A RED LIGHT AND THE WARNING SIGN FOR AN OVER HEATED ENGINE APPEARS. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A AUTOMOTIVE FACILITY AND WAS TOLD THAT THE WATER PUMP HAD BROKEN AND THAT MY ANTI FREEZE AND OIL HAD MIXED TOGETHER AND CIRCULATED THROUGH THE ENTIRE ENGINE PRETTY MUCH DAMAGING THE ENTIRE ENGINE. THE COST ESTIMATE TO HAVE A NEW ENGINE INSTALLED WOULD BE OVER $10,000, DUE TO THE WATER PUMP BEING INCASED IN THE ENGINE. THIS CAR HAD ONLY HAD 130,000 MILES ON IT, AND I REGULARLY KEPT UP WITH SERVICE ON THE VEHICLE. UPON ON LINE RESEARCH, IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT FORD IS MORE THAN AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND CONTINUES TO NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO MY HOME AND IT WILL NOW SIT THERE UNTIL I CAN REDUCE THE AMOUNT OWED ON THE VEHICLE AND TRADE IT IN. THE WORST PART OF THIS IS, THAT THERE WAS NO TYPE OF WARNING WHATSOEVER, NOR DID FORD EVER MAKE ME AWARE OF THIS BEING A PROBLEM IN THIS VEHICLE.

WHEN CAR IS MOVING SOMETIMES WHEN YOU STOP THE BRAKE PEDAL IS HARD AND YOU HAVE TO REALLY PUSH TO STOP THE VEHICLE

WHEN BACKING UP I HAVE THE REAR VIEW CAMERA BUT I DO NOT HAVE ANY GUIDANCE LINES. I STILL DO NOT HAVE ANY.

DRIVER DOOR AJAR LIGHT CONTINUOUSLY LIT.THE DOOR IS CLOSED BUT THE DOME LIGHTS REMAIN ON.

CONSTANT DOOR AJAR ON PASSENGER SIDE DOORS. USE TO BE ONE NOW OR IS BOTH. CAUSES SAFETY ISSUES BECAUSE THE REAR PASSENGER CAN'T BE LOCKED AS I HAVE A CHILD T BY AT SITS THERE. LIGHTS GO ON INTERNALLY WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT WHICH CAUSES DIFFICULTY DRIVING AT NIGHT. LIGHTS CONSTANTLY GO ON SND OFF THROUGHOUT THE DAY AND NIGHT CAUSING DRAINED BATTERY, AND CONSTANT JUMPS STARTS.

DOOR SENSOR STATES DOOR IS OPEN, WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED. INTERIOR LIGHTS REMAIN ON AND DOORS REMAIN UNLOCKED. CAN HAVE ISSUES WITH DOORS UNLOCKING WHEN PARKED, LEAVING A ISSUE FOR BEING ROBBED, ALSO LIGHTS CAN REMAIN ON WHICH WILL DRAIN THE BATTERY. LIGHTS WILL ALSO STAY ON WHILE DRIVING WHICH IS AN ISSUE AT NIGHT.

SYNC RADIO GOES IN AND OUT AND THE SCREEN GOES COMPLETELY DARK FOR AWHILE, SOMETIMES LAST HOURS AND SOMETIMES LASTING DAYS. DEALER CLAIMS THE RADIO IS UPDATING ITSELF. DURING THIS PERIOD THE BACKUP CAMERAS DON'T WORK ALONG OTHER FUNCTIONS CONNECTED TO THE SCREEN. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS MOVING AS WELLING AS STATIONARY TIMES.

FRONT DOOR AJAR LIGHT WILL NOT TURN OFF/STAYS ON. DRAINING MY BATTERY THIS HAPPENED TO MY BACK DOOR 4 YEARS AGO. HOWEVER, AT LEAST I WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY.
