2015 FORD EDGE Complaints

I NOTICED A SPOT THAT WAS ABOUT AN INCH LONG ON THE REAR HATCH BACK GLASS WHERE THE DEFROSTER GRID APPEARED TO BE DELAMINATED. LATER THAT EVENING, I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK. THE TEMPERATURE WAS BELOW FREEZING. I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 35 MPH ON A COUNTRY ROAD BECAUSE THE ROADS WERE ICY. THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC ON THE ROAD OTHER THAN MYSELF. I ALLOWED THE CAR TO WARM UP WITH THE REAR DEFROSTER ON FOR ABOUT TWO MINUTES PRIOR TO MY TRIP. ABOUT A MILE UP THE ROAD, THE REAR HATCH BACK GLASS EXPLODED. A SECTION ABOUT 8" BY 6" WAS BLOWN OUT AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE, WITH THE REST OF THE GLASS BROKEN BUT REMAINING IN PLACE. THE SECTION OF THE WINDOW THAT WAS BLOWN OUT WAS THE SAME AREA WHERE I HAD SEEN THE DELAMINATION EARLIER THAT DAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, WHILE THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 27,449. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE.

EXHAUST IN CABIN WAY BEYOND PERMISSIBLE LIMITS FROM DAY 1. I SUSPECTED THE FIREWALL WAS ALLOWING EXHAUST INTO INTERIOR, BUT THEN I STARTED SUSPECTING THE REAR WAS ALLOWING EXHAUST IN DUE TO AN AIR EDDY RECIRCULATING BEHIND THE VEHICLE ALLOWING EXHAUST INTO THE CABIN VIA LOWER REAR DOOR SEAL NOT SEALING TIGHT ENOUGH VIA THE AUTOMATED DOOR CLOSURE NOT SUFFICIENTLY FORMING A SEAL.

EXTENSIVE WATER DAMAGE. WATER IS LEAKING INTO THE CAR FROM AN UNKNOWN AREA CAUSING PUDDLING ON THE DRIVER SIDE FLOOR. WATER CAN BE HEARD SWISHING FROM UNDERNEATH THE CAR. A NOTICE WAS SENT TO DEALERS TO FIX THE ISSUE BEFORE THE CARS WERE SOLD, IT APPEARS THAT THEY DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE PRIOR TO SELLING ME THE CAR AND IS NOW REFUSING TO PAY TO FIX IT DUE TO THE FACT THAT I AM OVER THE WARRANTY PERIOD.

WHILE TRAVELLING ON INTERSTATE 93, MY 2015 FORD EDGE DISPLAYED A WARNING NOTICE ON THE DASHBOARD THAT READ "FULL ACCESSORY POWER ACTIVE." AFTER SELECTING "OK" TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE WARNING, THE VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER AND WAS RENDERED IMMOBILE. THE CAR CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP ON THE HIGHWAY IN THE MIDDLE OF RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. THE VEHICLE WAS SHIFTED INTO PARK AND ATTEMPTS WERE MADE TO RESTART IT. THE VEHICLE SUCCESSFULLY RESTARTED AND THE COMMUTE WAS COMPLETED. THIS ISSUE MUST BE CORRECTED IMMEDIATELY. IT POSES AN SERIOUS THREAT TO THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC.

FROM THE DATE WE BOUGHT OUR FORD EDGE WE HAVE HAD WHITE PARTICLES, DUST AND DIRT COMING IN FROM ALL OF THE DOOR SEALS AND REAR BACK HATCH. THE WHITE PARTICLES ARE ALL THROUGH THE VEHICLE. THERE IS A BROWN DUST OR DIRT ON THE TOP OF THE PASSENGER SEAT AND REAR PASSENGER SEAT AND ON THE HEAD RESTS FOR BOTH SEATS. THE DIRT AND DUST MAKES ME COUGH A LOT, ( NO ONE HAS EVER SMOKED IN THE CAR ). IT FEELS LIKE WE ARE INSIDE OF A VACUUM CLEANER DISPOSABLE BAG. WE BELIEVE NONE OF THE SEALS ON ANY OF THE DOORS WORK PROPERLY. WHEN WE FIRST GOT THE CAR, A BURNING SMELL WAS COMING FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. A NEW EXHAUST SYSTEM WAS PUT ON THE CAR A MONTH AFTER WE BOUGHT IT. THAT PROBLEM WITH THE BURNING SMELL WENT AWAY. WE WERE TOLD BY THE FOURTH DEALERSHIP THAT WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THAT ALL THE SEALS ON THE DOORS AND BACK HATCH WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED, BUT THAT NEVER CAME ABOUT. SO HERE WE SIT WITH ALL THE WHITE DUST AND DIRT. WE BELIEVE THE CABIN FILTERS ARE NOT WORKING. SO THE DUST AND THE DIRT ARE ALSO COMING IN THROUGH ALL OF THE VENTS IN THE VEHICLE.

CPSC: 2015 FORD EDGE SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT WARNING LOST ALL POWER WHILE DRIVING IN THE MIDDLE LANE. *BF THE CONSUMER STATED THE SRS LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A FAULTY ENGINE SENSOR. *JB

I OWN THIS 2015 EDGE FOR LESS THAN A YEAR AND LESS THAN 15,000 MILES. DRIVING ON A SUNDAY AFTERNOON AT 35 MILES PER HOUR TO PICK PUMPKINS AND THE TRANSMISSION JUST STARTS SPINNING. WE PULL OVER AND TRANSMISSION IS COMPLETELY SHOT WILL NOT MOVE CAR. CALL AAA AND HAVE IT TOWED TO THE NEAREST DEALER CARBONE FORD IN BENNINGTON VERMONT. THIS IS NOT WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED BUT IT IS WHERE I HAVE IT SERVICED. SO THE FIRST THING THEY TELL ME IS FORD WILL NOT ISSUE A LOANER VEHICLE NOR WILL THEY PAY FOR A RENTAL. THEY TELL ME THEY FIRST MUST "DOWNLOAD THE DATA FROM THEIR COMPUTER TO FORD, SO THAT FORD CAN DECIDE WHETHER TO FIX IT OR REPLACE IT." THIS TOOK TWO FULL WEEKS. IN THE THIRD WEEK FORD TOLD THEM THEY COULD REPAIR IT AND THE PARTS WERE SENT. IN THE FOURTH WEEK I WAS PROMISED THE CAR WEDNESDAY AND THEN "ABSOLUTELY FRIDAY" IT IS NOW SATURDAY AND NO CAR. I HAVE RENTED A CAR FOR FOUR FULL WEEKS GOING ON FIVE. THE KILLER IS THAT AAMCO WOULD HAVE TAKEN TWO DAYS TO FIX OR REPLACE MY TRANSMISSION AND FORD THINKS THIS IS SOMEHOW NOT THEIR FAULT THEREFORE NO LOANER VEHICLE.

ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY FAILURE. VEHICLE LOST ALL ENGINE POWER AND ENTERED LIMP MODE AT 70 MPH ON HIGHWAY. WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON & NO NOTICE GIVEN. HAD TO IMMEDIATELY PULL OVER TO SIDE OF HIGHWAY. NEARLY LOST CONTROL OF VEHICLE AND ALMOST CRASHED. DEALER STATED THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY FAILED AND DEEMED CAR UNFIT/UNSAFE FOR TRAVEL ON THE ROAD. LEFT VEHICLE AT FORD DEALER TO REPLACE THROTTLE BODY.

ON 10-18-2016 OUR EDGE LOST ALL POWER ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET; SPEED REDUCED TO 2 MPH. WE DROVE HOME; THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO DEALERSHIP, & THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY WAS REPAIRED. ON 11-15-16 THE SAME THING HAPPENED, BUT THIS TIME WE WERE IN DALLAS ON HIGHWAY 289 IN AN INTERIOR LANE AT 55 MPH. WE SLOWED TO 2 MPH, BUT REACHED A PARKING LOT. FORD DEALER THEN REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY AND MOTOR ASSEMBLY. FORD KNOWS OF THE THROTTLE ISSUE, AND ONLY REPLACES IT AFTER THE SECOND MALFUNCTION. THIS POLICY PUTS ALL EDGE DRIVERS AT RISK AND SHOULD BE CHANGED TO REPLACE THEM IMMEDIATELY.
