2013 FORD EDGE Complaints

The 2013 Ford Edge began giving trouble after sitting at an intersection or pulling out of the driveway to enter major traffic. The vehicle would hesitate to accelerate as though it is running out of gas but it isn't out of gas. When you continue pressing on the accelerator it would jerk then accelerate. We barely escaped being hit from the rear because the vehicle died while pulling out onto the feeder, whereupon I struggled to pull into a nearby gas station. The brake pedal is generally stiff but can be depressed, however, in other instances, when braking the brake pedal sometimes becomes hard to depress but becomes easier after the car is driving for a long stretch, such as the freeway. When you start the car the panel is normal but as you begin driving the Check Brake System failure light begins to appear in Red and the ABS light and the oil light. Similar incidents as the previously mentioned situations have happened on numerous occasions.

The contact owns a 2013 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while driving at a slow speed and taking a right turn, while attempting to depress the brake pedal, the brake pedal felt mushy. The contact stated that excessive force was required to depress the brake pedal. The contact stated that the brake pedal had lost pressure for a moment. There was no warning light illuminated. The local dealer was contacted; however, the vehicle was not diagnosed because the VIN was not under an open recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact referenced Customer Satisfaction Program: 13N02, as a possible cause for the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 135,000.

The rearview camera does not function properly. Most of the time, it shows a blank screen or nothing at all. Sometimes it tells me to contact the dealership. Other times, it shows the camera view but upside down. It puts myself and others at risk because I can't see clearly when I am backing up. The problem is covered by a known recall. However, my vehicle is not covered by the recall.

A few years ago, I brought my Edge into a dealership in Shawnee Mission, KS (Shawnee Mission Ford) for the rearview camera malfunctioning. What occurs is, once I put the car in reverse, the camera will, sometimes come on, once I begin backing out, the camera will shut off and a message will appear. On some occasions, the camera will operate, but 9 times out of 10 it will always go black with a pop up message. I want my vehicle to be included in the recall if the backup camera is the issue please.

The contact owns a 2013 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while attempting to start the vehicle, the contact became aware that the rearview camera displayed a blank screen or an upside-down image. An independent mechanic was contacted. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or an independent mechanic to be diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V270000 (BACK OVER PREVENTION); however, the VIN or the model year was not included in the recall. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 193,000.

Since the day I bought my 2013 Edge I have had nothing but problems ranging from Backup Camera always has a distorted image, appears upside down or it will just be blank. For the last year I have had my car looked at, changed everything that could possibly be changed to now my car can be going down the road running 55-60 MPH and the car will just shut down and flash random warnings on the dash but the scariest & most unsafe part is how the steering wheel locks up or I lose power steering making it hard to move or coast off the road to safety. At this point I don't know what else to do. Questions below are asking for dates but unfortunately there are so many dates that my car does this as it happens almost daily so I will put date for the last day I drove it. Right now it has been sitting at a mechanic's place for the last 3.5 weeks.

The backup camera stopped working consistently in June 2025. Safety recall has been issued for 2015 vehicles and newer, but not for 2013 and 2014 years. Ford dealer said the camera needs to be replaced for $740, but numerous online comments show other Ford owners with the same issue starting at the same time. I believe this is a software issue, and would like 2013 Ford Edge to be added to safety recall.

The back up camera shows an inverted image. This has been happening for the past year. This is similar to the recall for 2015-19 Ford Edges, however we are have a 2013.

The rearview camera has not been working correctly for now over 8 years or more. The rearview camera issue causes a blank or distorted image on the center display. It is now displaying the image upside down as well. There are currently other Ford vehicle vehicles that are being recalled for this issue. I wanna know why our vehicle is not included in this. It is a 2013 Ford edge which I have talked to other people that own the same year have the same issues. This is very upsetting because this is an issue with other vehicles that are not included in those recalls.

The rear back up camera intermittantly fails on this vehicle. About 70% of the time, it displays a black screen. The screen will display "Contact Dealership." This has been occurring for approx. 1 year.
