2013 FORD EDGE Complaints

My backup camera continues to not work and says I need to contact the dealership. When I contact the place that I got it from it says it's not covered under their warranty in the contact Ford. When I contact Ford they said there was some rear backup camera thing going on and that the recall had not been issued yet? Also I've been having issues with it connecting to any kind of device, it will say connecting phone and load and load and load and never connect or the phone will be connected and say it's not connected so calls and stuff won't come through and when calls you come through it switches to aux and then you can't hear the person who's speaking which I find dangerous because then you have to touch your phone while driving. Another issue that I'm having is when I fill up my tank it is saying for example if I put $40 in and it's the same price it was the day before and I have to fill up my tank I would get different readings so sometimes I might get like 370 in other days I might get like 205 which makes it difficult to really gauge how much gas you have. Have had multiple times where I've had to completely reset the infotainment system because it does not work and you can't push any buttons on it including the buttons that are below that infotainment system that control tuning seeking and temperatures of the car and do you think that there's some electrical problems somewhere that could be causing all of these issues.

At stop light, went to make a right turn and sounded like loud thumping noise under car. Had to have it towed home to find out the transfer case failed locking up my wheels as I was making a right turn from us 231 onto broadway in crown point Indiana

The contact owns a 2013 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while driving approximately 5 MPH and depressing the brake pedal while exiting a parking lot, the brake pedal went to the floorboard. The contact pumped the brake pedal to stop the vehicle. The contact stated there was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to a local dealer or an independent mechanic. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 130,000.

The rear view camera image suddenly became inverted (upside down) and the guide lines normally displayed disappeared. This defect appears permanent. Due tot the camera malfunction it is easy to be disoriented and collide with object behind the vehicle. On several occasions I ran into parking lot dividers and planters.

The contact owns a 2013 Ford Edge. The contact stated while attempting to start the vehicle, the rearview camera displayed a blank screen and was glitching. A dealer was contacted. The vehicle taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that the rearview camera needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V572000 (BACK OVER PREVENTION); however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the VIN was not included in the recall. The failure mileage was 108,000.

The rear view camera displays either a blank, distorted, or upside down image. This issue is identical to the recall notice 25V572, for a 2016 Ford Edge, which we also own. My son received his drivers license three months ago. While he realizes he must turn and look, the back up camera is an invaluable tool to prevent backing accidents. We have shown a dealer previously and were quoted a price that is too expensive for us to repair. The camera system was looked at by a service advisor. Ironically, the advisor remarked that this is a common issue with 2013 Edges. There is a caution triangle that periodically appears that reads back up camera is disabled, or something to that effect.

The driver side passenger "door ajar" sensor stays on constantly and is unsafe because we aren't sure if the door is truly open or not? We are scared to have passengers sit on that side of the vehicle for fear of the door flying open and causing injury by falling out or other injury because the sensor does not tell us accurately as to whether the door is truly closed all the way or not. It also drains the battery over time due to constantly being on. This problem has been going on for 2 years. We had it looked at by a mechanic. We were told they can replace the sensor, but it would likely go out again because this is a manufacturer defect, and a well known problem for Ford Edges as well as other Ford models, but they refuse to issue a recall. This is EXTREMELY UNSAFE. The other safety concern I have is the need for a recall on our VIN SPECIFIC rear view camera. The screen went blank and then, when it came back on, the image is flipped upside down and has vertical lines across the screen making it extremely difficult to see. This is a crucial component to safety. This happened approximately 1 year ago. This is EXTREMELY UNSAFE as we can back over and KILL someone if we don't go super slow and intensely observe the camera while in reverse. This is even more dangerous in poorly lit places. There were no warnings or sensors indicating a problem with the camera. It just went blank and then PERMANENTLY flipped the image upside down.

The backup camera is sometimes upside down, flashes, or won't come on at all. Various things other than functioning properly. I've completed the Sync update and that didn't resolve the issue. This started happening around the same time newer Ford models were showing the exact same issues.

The rear back up camera image is inverted. I see that the 2015-2018s were recalled but this is also happening with the 2013s

Was going 70 mph (speed limit) and hit a deer, car was totaled. Upon impact my seatbelt locked up and I smelled smoke, but the airbags didn't actually deploy. No warning signs or prior issues known.
