2010 FORD EDGE Complaints

FOUND A TRANSMISSION LEAK ON THE FLOOR OF GARAGE. TOOK TO LOCAL TRANSMISSION MECHANIC WHERE HE DETERMINED THAT THE POWER TRANSFER UNIT REQUIRED TO BE REPLACED. AFTER A REVIEW OF THE INTERNET, FOUND THIS TO BE A PROBLEMATIC ISSUE WITH THE FORD EDGE. COMMUNICATED WITH FORD, HOWEVER NO ASSISTANCE ON MY $1,569.91 COST WAS PROVIDED ...UPDATED 03/31/15 *BF *TR

BRAKES HAVE BECOME SPONGY AND A HISSING SOUND IS EMITTED WHEN THEY ARE PRESSED. PEDAL MUST BE PRESSED HARDER THAN NORMAL. *TR

STOP/BRAKE/SIGNAL LIGHT BURNED OUT 1ST TIME JUST REPLACED IT! BURNED OUT 2ND TIME A YEAR OR SO LATER, NOTICED THE RECEPTACLE LOOKED BLACK!! BURNED OUT 3RD TIME A DAY OR SO LATER, NOTED THE RECEPTACLE LOOKS REALLY BLACK,I GOT ONLINE AND FOUND OUT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL CAR !!!....DEALER KNOWS OF NO RECALL BUT I CAN ASSURE NOT HAVING A LEFT TURN SIGNAL IN THE REAR IS A REAL SAFETY HAZARD !!!! THE BULB SOCKET LOOKS AS IF HAS ALMOST MELTED AND I THINK IT POSES A REAL DANGER . *TR

DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT STAYS ON, CAN'T LOCK DOORS. INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON ALL THE TIME, HARD TO SEE AT NIGHT WHEN DRIVING WITH THE INTERIOR LIGHTS ON. HAD TO REPLACE BATTERY DUE TO LIGHT DRAINING BATTERY. FORD NEEDS TO ADDRESS. *TR

HAD TO PUSH THE BRAKE PEDAL VERY HARD TO STOP, SO BASICALLY NO POWER BRAKES. TOOK IT TO THE FORD DEALER AND PAID >$600 TO REPLACE THE BRAKE BOOSTER. I HAVE NEVER HAD TO REPLACE ONE OF THESE IN ANY CAR I HAVE OWNED. THIS IS NOT A REPAIR THAT SHOULD BE NEEDED GIVEN THE NUMBER OF MILES ON THE CAR. FORD SHOULD BE THE ONE PAYING FOR THIS REPAIR. *TR

VERY HARD BRAKE. EXTREMELY HARD TO STOP ESPECIALLY AT A SLOW ROLL. BRAKING AT FASTER (20-30MPH) SPEEDS MORE EFFECTIVE, BUT VERY INEFFECTIVE WHEN MOVING VERY SLOWLY (5MPH OR LESS). WHEN APPLYING BRAKE, THERE IS A HISSING SOUND. VERY SCARY TO DRIVE AND ONLY DID TO GET TO REPAIR SHOP. THIS PROBLEM MATCHES EXACTLY AN EXISTING RECALL WITH FORD EDGE 2010'S, BUT FOR SOME REASON MY VIN WAS EXCLUDED IN THE RECALL. CAR REPAIRED AT FORD DEALER, BUT HAD TO PAY MORE THAN $500. *TR

AT RANDOM TIMES WHEN BRAKING THE BRAKE PEDAL WILL FEEL LIKE A BRICK, WITH NO POWER BRAKE BOOST. IT FEELS LIKE THE BRAKES WOULD FEEL IF THE CAR WERE SHUT OFF, BUT IT IS STILL RUNNING. OR AT OTHER TIMES THE PEDAL IS VERY SPONGY FEELING. IN BOTH CASES THERE IS A DELAY IN BRAKING CAUSING A POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS SITUATION. *TR

BRAKE PEDAL BECAME STIFF AND IT WAS HARD TO STOP WITHOUT STANDING ON BRAKE. MECHANIC HAD TO REPLACE THE POWER BRAKE BOOSTER. NHTSA HAS A FILE # 10052836 AND FORD ISSUED TSB #CSP-13N02 TO NOTIFY AND REPLACE PART FOR ONLY SELECT CARS. IF YOU AREN'T IN THIS GROUP, YOU HAVE NO IDEA YOUR BRAKES WILL SUDDENLY BE DIFFICULT TO APPLY, RESULTING IN ACCIDENTS. *TR

VEHICLE DEVELOPED A CLANKING / CLUNKING SOUND. FELT LIKE IT WAS DRAGGING SOMETHING VERY HEAVY, AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHIFT POINTS SEEMED TO BE DELAYED AND SHIFTING TO A HIGHER GEAR HAPPENED AT A VERY HIGH RPM. STOPPED VEHICLE AND TURNED IT OFF. NOISES WENT AWAY AFTER RESTARTING, BUT ACCELERATION WAS VERY SLUGGISH AND IT DIDN'T SHIFT TO A HIGHER GEAR UNTIL A VERY HIGH RPM, THE GAS PEDAL HAD TO BE PUSHED TO THE FLOOR. TOOK IT TO A REPAIR SHOP AND IT WAS TEST DRIVEN AND PUT ON THE LIFT. CHECKED FOR ANY MALFUNCTION CODES. THE MECHANIC COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE. *TR

REPLACED THE TAIL LIGHT BULB FOR THE FIRST TIME BY MYSELF NOT AT DEALER AND THE HOUSING THAT HOLDS TAIL LIGHT IS BURNT. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS COULD CREATE ELECTRICAL FIRE I MY VEHICLE BULB 13466. SOCKET HOUSING 13411. *TR
