2019 FORD EDGE Complaints

WHEN DOING A HARD ACCELERATING, FOR EXAMPLE PASSING A VEHICLE OR SPEEDING UP TO ENTER A HIGHWAY, A ODOR LIKE SMELL LIKE EXHAST FUMES FILLS THE CABIN. THE ODOR CANNOT BE SEEN BUT IT DOES SMELL, SOMETIMES THE SMELLS GOES AWAY QUICKLY AND OTHER TIMES IT WILL LINGER FOR OVER 10 SECONDS AT WHICH POINT I HAVE TO OPEN THE WINDOWS. WHILE NORMAL DRIVING THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN. BOTH MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER SAY ITS BAD. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY DID NOTHING.

ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL HAS A MIND OF ITS OWN. SOMETIMES IT KEEPS YOU BETWEEN THE ROAD LINES. SOMETIMES IT WILL LET YOU GO OFF THE ROAD. SOMETIMES IT WILL TRY TO PULL THE STEERING WHEEL OUT OF YOUR HANDS FOR NO REASON. SOMETIMES THE PRE-COLLISION ALARM WILL GO OFF FOR NO REASON. SOMETIMES IT WILL STOP FOR A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF YOU. SOMETIMES IT WILL NOT. HOW CAN YOU FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE?

ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS AT LESS THAN 10 MPH, THE VEHICLE RANDOMLY 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.

I HAVE HAD MY TIRES ORIGINAL TIRES PUNCTURED BY EITHER NAILS OR SCREWS 6 TIMES IN LESS THAN 9 MONTHS AND 16000 MILES. THE TIRES SEEM TO HAVE AN ISSUE.

REAR VIEW CAMERA. THE SCREEN WENT TO BLUE WHEN I PUT ME CAR IN REVERSE. I BACKED OUT OF DRIVEWAY AND PUT CAR IN DRIVE SCREEN WENT BLACK, THEN BLUE. WHEN I CAME TO STOP SIGN THE CAMERA CAME ON SHOWING THE STREET BEHIND ME. STARTED DRIVING AND CAMERA STAYED ON WHILE DRIVING. SECOND STOP SCREEN WENT BLUE THEN BLACK. CAR IS STILL IN DRIVE, PROCEEDED ON MY WAY. CAMERA STARTED FLASHING BETWEEN BLUE, BLACK AND SHOWING ROAD BEHIND ME. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES ONCE IN APRIL, THIS INCIDENT IN JUNE AND ONCE IN AUGUST. I DID RESET TO SEE IF THAT WORKED AND IT DID FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS. WITH COVID-19 RESTRICTIONS. I AM NOT DOING A LOT OF TRAVELING I CAN'T DUPLICATE IT OR WHY IT HAPPENS, I THOUGHT MAYBE CAR HAD TO BE WARM THAT ISN'T IT. JUST WHEN IT WANTS TO DO IT. THIS ALSO PREVENTS ME FROM USING SCREEN FOR RADIO OR ANY OTHER CONTROLS ON THE SCREEN. I DID REPORT THIS INCIDENT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED MY CAR, BUT NEVER HEARD BACK FROM THEM AT ALL

PURCHASED A RENTAL TURN-IN 6/29/20 FROM FORD DEALER WITH 21,715 MILES ON IT. WITHIN 3 WEEKS I RETURNED TO DEALER EXPLAINING WINDSHIELD HAD A VERY BAD DISTORTION WHICH EXTENDED FROM THE LEFT SIDE OF REAR VIEW MIRROR DOWN INTO THE FIELD OF VISION WHILE DRIVING. THIS DISTORTION IS VISIBLE WHILE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY OR IN MOTION. PHOTOS SUBMITTED TO FORD FOR WARRANTY CLAIM & WAS DENIED. CALLED FORD MYSELF THIS WEEK & WAS TOLD THERE IS NO WARRANTY PROGRAM THAT COVERS THIS ISSUE .. THE 3 YEAR 36K MILES BUMPER TO BUMPER DOES NOT COVER THIS ISSUE. VEHICLE OWNER GETS TO PAY FOR A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT. BACK WINDOW ALSO HAS DISTORTION BUT NOT TO THE EXTENT OF THE FRONT.

CAR SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY.

THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BELT MAY BE FAULTY. IT TAKES SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO PULL THE SEATBELT INTO PLACE. IT USUALLY TAKES SEVERAL TRIES TO FASTEN THE SEATBELT. I AM CONCERNED THIS MAY BE A SAFETY ISSUE. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR 2 WEEKS NOW.

LOST STEERING WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY. STEERING DOESN'T WORK, CANNOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM.

THE NAVIGATION SCREEN WAS STUCK ON THE BACKUP CAMERA AND WOULDN'T GO BACK TO NORMAL UNTIL I SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND IT SAT FOR ALMOST AN HOUR. THEN THE SCREEN LOCKED UP AGAIN ON THE AUDIO SCREEN AND WOULDN'T ALLOW MOVEMENT TO ANY OTHER AREA.
