2019 FORD EDGE Complaints

WHEN BOTH ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL ACTIVATED AND LANE KEEP ASSIST ACTIVATED, THE EDGE ST BOUNCES IN BETWEEN THE LINES ON THE ROAD, INSTEAD KEEPING THE CAR CENTER IN THE LANE. LANE KEEP ASSIST CENSORS AND SOFTWARE NEED RE-CALIBRATION.

EVERY TIME AFTER FILLING UP GAS TANK, THERE IS ALWAYS SOME SORT OF SPILLAGE FROM THE GAS FILLING GUN WHEN PULLING OUT THE GAS FILLING GUN.

EVERY TIME AFTER HARD ACCELERATION (ENGINE RPM > 4000), THE INTERIOR AIR VENTS AUTOMATICALLY OPEN FOR 5 TO 10 SECONDS (WHEN THE HVAC IS OFF) TO LET COOL AIR IN AND THEN AIR VENTS CLOSE OFF. AFTERWARDS, THERE IS REALLY A STRONG EXHAUST GAS SMELL FILL UP THE CABIN OF THE EDGE ST. REALLY UNBEARABLE.

DUE TO CLOSE GEAR RATIO OF 2ND AND 3RD IN THE 8F57 TRANSMISSION, THERE IS UNWANTED HARSH/BUCKING SHIFT FROM 2ND TO 3RD EVERYTIME, EVEN AFTER THE LATEST TSB 20-2190 UPDATE. ALSO, AFTER 30 TO 40 MINS OF NORMAL DRIVING, THE 8F57 TRANSMISSION STARTS TO EXHIBIT SEVERE HESITATION TO DOWN SHIFT AND UP SHIFT ESPECIALLY WHEN GOING ON TO A GRADE/SLOPE.

DRIVING ON FREEWAY AT CRUISING SPEED. WE HEARD LOUD EXPLOSION FROM CAR. PULLED OVER, GOT OUT AND SAW SUN ROOF HAD BLOWN OUT.

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, MY VEHICLE WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO SWITCH GEARS, OR EVEN GET OUT OF PARK. MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN DRAGGED OUT OF MY GARAGE, HAS STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION, AND HAS BEEN TOWED A FEW TIMES DUE TO THIS ISSUE. IN ADDITION TO, THERE IS A RATTLING AT HIGHER SPEEDS, CARPET COMES UP, PIECES FALL APART FROM THE CAR. I HAVE REPORTED IT TO FORD AND WAS DISMISSED.

2019 FORD EDGE ST RANDOMLY SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES AND ABRUPTLY STOPPED THE VEHICLE. STRANGELY AND AT THE SAME TIME THE TACHOMETER RED LINED AT 6500 RPM, ALTHOUGH THE ENGINE DID NOT REV UP! THIS IS THE 5TH TIME THE CAR HAS RANDOMLY STOPPED GOING LESS THAN 10 MPH DOWNHILL.

AT LESS THAN 10 MPH GOING DOWN A HILL, THE VEHICLE ABRUPTLY APPLIED THE BRAKES BRINGING THE SUV TO AN IMMEDIATE HARD STOP. THERE WAS NO APPARENT REASON FOR THE BRAKING AS THE ROAD AHEAD WAS COMPLETELY CLEAR. THIS IS THE FOURTH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED, TWICE WITH ME AND TWICE WHEN MY WIFE WAS DRIVING!

WHILE DRIVING AT APPROX. 10 MPH THROUGH A PARKING LOT, MY VEHICLE IGNITION TURNED OFF FOR NO EXPLAINABLE REASON. ADDITIONALLY, THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WENT COMPLETELY DARK (NO POWER). I DID NOTE THAT THE CENTER AUXILIARY DISPLAY REMAINED LIT. ONCE THE VEHICLE COASTED TO A STOP, I ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE, AT WHICH TIME IT DID START, HOWEVER IT WAS IN LIMP MODE. I DROVE IT HOME (1.5 MILES) AND TURNED IT OFF. WHEN I WENT TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER THE NEXT MORNING, THE VEHICLE STARTED AND OPERATED NORMALLY. THE FORD DEALER (EL CAJON FORD) HAD THE VEHICLE FOR 3 DAYS, AND WAS UNABLE TO IDENTIFY THE ISSUE (NO DTCS CODE). I WAS ABLE TO LOCATE THE EXAMPLES OF IDENTICAL ISSUES ONLINE, WITHIN A NUMBER OF OWNER BLOGS. WHEN CONTACTING FORD, I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO, BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM. I AM CONCERNED THAT SOMEONE WILL NOT BE IN A SAFE PLACE WHEN THIS ISSUE HAPPENS, AND COULD POTENTIALLY SUFFER INJURY OR DEATH. THIS VEHICLE HAS A MANUFACTURING ISSUE FOR WHICH THE MANUFACTURER IS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE AND RESOLVE.

ENGINE COOLANT LEAKING INTO THE ENGINE BLOCK CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO COME TO A GRINDING HALT ON THE HIGHWAY. THE VEHICLE ALERTED TO LOW ENGINE COOLANT ROUGHLY 30 SECONDS PRIOR TO LOSING DRIVE POWER. THE VEHICLE HAS APPROXIMATELY 42000 MILES ON IT. THERE WAS SMOKE COMING FROM THE EXHAUST THAT SMELLED OF BURNT COOLANT AND SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE FRONT HOOD, BUT NO FIRE.
