2015 FORD EDGE Complaints

WITHIN THE LAST 6 MONTHS MY REAR GATE HAS CLOSED WITHOUT ANY ACTION BY ME. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS 6 MONTHS AGO. I WAS LOADING IN THE BACK OF MY EDGE AND THE REAR GATE STARTED CLOSING. IT CLOSED ON MY BACK AND WOULD NOT STOP. I NOTICED IT WAS NOT GOING TO STOP SO I DUCKED REAL FAST TO GET OUT OF THE WAY. I HAD A STIFF NECK FOR WEEKS. I WENT TO PICK UP TILE AND THEY WERE LOADING IT IN THE BACK AND I NOTICED THE GATE STARTING TO CLOSE AND I YELLED AT THE GUY TO DUCK AND GET OUT OF THE WAY. MY WIFE WAS PUTTING SOMETHING IN THE BACK AND I YELLED TO HER TO GET OUT OF THE WAY. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO 2 DEALERS AND EACH SAID NO TROUBLE FOUND. THIS COULD BE DANGEROUS IF A LITTLE KID WAS IN THE BACK WHEN IT WAS CLOSING ON ITS OWN SINCE THERE DOES NOT SEEM TO BE ANY SAFETY TO STOP IT. THE VEHICLE WAS OFF EACH TIME WITH THE GATE OPEN EACH TIME.

THIS VEHICLE IS LEAKING AROUND THE HAND GRIP (DRIVERS SIDE) AND LEAKING IN THE FLOOR.

BREAKS I TRIED BREAKING WHILE APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT BUT MY CAR REFUSED TO STOP. LUCKILY THERE WAS NOBODY IN FRONT OF ME, BUT IT TOOK ME ABOUT 2 OR 3X THE AMOUNT OF TIME I'M USED TO, TO MAKE A COMPLETE STOP. THERE'S A HISSING NOISE NOW WHEN I PRESS ON THE BREAK AND I HAVE TO PUT DOWN A LOT OF PRESSURE ON THE PEDAL IN ORDER TO STOP. I DON'T KNOW IF IT HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE RECALL ISSUED IN NOVEMBER BUT THIS IS DANGEROUS.

VEHICLE LOST ALL FORWARD DRIVING POWER WHEN MERGING INTO TRAFFIC ON 3 LANE MAJOR HIGHWAY FROM ON RAMP DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AND VEHICLE ENTERED LIMP MODE. NEARLY CRASHED BECAUSE OF LIMP MODE CAUSED REDUCED STEERING AND REDUCED SPEED TO MAXIMUM OF 10 MPH ON HIGHWAY WITH 55 MPH SPEED LIMIT. NO WHERE TO PULL OVER ON HIGHWAY SO DROVE VEHICLE IN LIMP MODE OFF NEXT EXIT. AFTER PARKING AND RE-STARTING, REVERSE NOT ENGAGING AND NOW SLIPPING IN AND OUT OF DRIVE GEARS. TOWED TO DEALER. DEALER UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. DURING DIAGNOSIS DEALER PERFORMED COST ANALYSIS AND DECIDED TO REPLACE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION. VEHICLE AT DEALER SERVICE CENTER FOR 30 DAYS. AFTER PICKING UP "REPAIRED" VEHICLE A LOUD EXHAUST NOTE IS NOW PREVALENT. NEED TO TAKE VEHICLE BACK TO DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT FOR FURTHER DIAGNOSIS.

2015 FORD EDGE MOOONROOF GLASS SHATTERED FOR NO REASON AT ALL. IT WAS IN THE CLOSED POSITION AND NOTHING HIT IT.

MY REAR WINDSHIELD SHATTERED FOR NO REASON. I WAS PULLING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT AND HEARD A LOUD POP. NOTHING HAD HIT MY CAR, NO ONE WAS AROUND, NOTHING FELL FROM THE SKY OR OFF OF A BUILDING. MY REAR WINDSHIELD BASICALLY JUST EXPLODED AND CRACKED FROM ONE SIDE TO THE OTHER, ACROSS THE BOTTOM AND THEN BUCKLED AND CRACKED UP THE CENTER. SHARDS OF GLASS WERE FALLING INTO THE CAR AND ALSO POURING OUT THE BOTTOM OF THE WINDOW. GLASS HAS NOW FALLEN INTO THE REAR GATE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER AND TOOK NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TO RESTART THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE SOFTWARE NEEDED TO BE RESET. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED APPROXIMATELY FIVE TIMES. THE "SERVICE THE ADVANCETRAK" AND "SEE MANUAL" MESSAGES ILLUMINATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE A FORD INSPECTOR INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND STATED THAT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE REPLICATED FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 5,849. UPDATED *LJ *AS

THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY AND OCCUPIED BY MYSELF AND THREE CHILDREN IN THE BACK SEAT. THE WINDOW IMPLODED WHEN THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR WAS CLOSED AS MY HUSBAND ENTERED THE SUV. MY SON IN THE BACK SEAT RECEIVED A SMALL CUT OVER HIS LEFT EYE, ANOTHER CHILD WAS HIT BY THE GLASS BUT UNINJURED.

REVERSE AID CAMERA RANDOMLY TURNS ON WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE TRANSMISSION APPEARS TO LURCH AS IF THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM IS ADJUSTING THE SPIN OF THE FRONT TIRES. WE HAVE HAD THIS INTO THE DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES AND THEY HAVE EVEN REPLACED THE CAMERA AND THE ISSUE STILL HAPPENS. WE ARE CONCERNED THAT THE TRANSMISSION MAY FAIL TO OPERATE NORMALLY UNDER LOAD WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE.

UNLIKE OTHER FORD VEHICLES, THE EDGE REAR BACKUP SYSTEM ACTIVATES ONLY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS APPROACHING AN OBJECT AT LESS THAN 3 MPH OR AN OBJECT IS APPROACHING THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE DIRECTLY. LATERAL MOVEMENT IS NOT DETECTED. ALSO, STATIONARY OBJECTS DIRECTLY BEHIND THE VEHICLE WITHIN THE VEHICLE,S WARNING ZONE ARE NOT DETECTED UNLESS THE VEHICLE IS MOVING. WITHIN THE FIRST WEEK OF DRIVING THIS VEHICLE, I TRIED TO BACK UP FROM A PARKING SPACE. A PEDESTRIAN WAS WALKING DIRECTLY BEHIND THE RIGHT REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE STARTED REARWARD AND HIT THE PEDESTRIAN WITHOUT ANY AUDIBLE WARNING. THE PEDESTRIAN CONTINUED TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, GAVE ME A DISGUSTING LOOK AND WALKED AWAY I RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO THE FORD DEALER COMPLAINING ABOUT THE BACKUP SYSTEM AND WE TESTED TWO OTHER NEW EDGE'S. THEY PERFORMED THE SAME WAY. THE OWNER'S MANUAL OUTLINES THE SAME BACKUP PROCEDURE AS I DESCRIBED ABOVE. THE DEALER EXPLAINED THAT THIS SYSTEM WAS NEW AND ONLY ON THE 2015 AND BEYOND EDGE. I THINK THIS SYSTEM IS POORLY DESIGNED COMPARED TO OTHER FORD VEHICLES. I ALSO HAVE A 2016 EXPLORER WITH A REAR BACKUP SYSTEM. AN AUDIBLE WARNING SOUNDS EVERY TIME SOMETHING IS WITHIN THE BACKUP ZONE I.E. STANDING STILL, LATERAL MOVEMENT, APPROACHING, ETC. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOME TYPE OF INVESTIGATION INTO THIS MATTER. THANK YOU
