2019 FORD EDGE Complaints

ON MONDAY MARCH 9, 2020 AS WE WERE TRAVELLING NORTH, AT APPROX. 65-MPH IN THE RIGHT HAND LANE OF US 41, ABOUT 2 MILES SOUTH OF OSHKOSH.WI, ABOUT TO EXIT THE EXPRESSWAY, IN THE RAIN WITH THE WIND BLOWING FROM WEST TO EAST, WE EXPERIENCED A SHOTGUN LEVEL EXPLOSION GOING OFF OVER OUR HEADS (FORTUNATELY, THE SUNSCREEN WAS CLOSED SO WE DID NOT GET BATHED WITH GLASS). WE HAD NEVER ONCE OPENED THE MOONROOF SINCE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN MAY OF '19. I LOOKED OUT THE PASSENGER'S SIDE MIRROR AND SAW WHAT LOOKED LIKE A SWARM OF BEES BLOWING OFF TO THE RIGHT (TURNED OUT TO BE THOUSANDS OF SMALL PIECES OF GLASS FROM THE EXPLODED MOONROOF). WE GOT THE CAR BACK HOME TO ANN ARBOR, MI WHERE IT WAS REPAIRED BY OUR FORD DEALER. FORD HAS REFUSED TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR (EVEN THOUGH THE VEHICLE IS 9 MONTHS OLD WITH 16,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER AND STILL UNDER WARRANTY). FORD CLAIMS THAT SOMETHING MUST HAVE HIT THE ROOF TO DAMAGE IT. MY WIFE AND I WERE JUST COMPLETING AN 8 HOUR TRIP IN THE VEHICLE WHERE NOTHING HIT THE MOONROOF. THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO EITHER THE WINDSHIELD OR TO THE SMALLER, REAR PANE OF THE MOONROOF.

REAR DRIVE UNIT (RDU) PRODUCES A VERY LOUD AND ANNOYING METALLIC SCRAPING NOISE WHEN ANY DOOR IS OPENED. SSM 48007 - 2019 EDGE/NAUTILUS - CLICKING NOISE FROM RDU WHEN DOOR(S) OPENED, KEY ON, AND/OR ENGINE RUNNING ' BUILT ON 22-JAN-2019 AND THROUGH 03-MAR-2019 2019 EDGE AND NAUTILUS VEHICLES, EQUIPPED WITH AWD AND BUILT ON 22-JAN-2019 ANDTHROUGH 03-MAR- 2019, EXHIBIT A NOISE FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE WHEN A DOOR IS OPENED OR AFTER KOEO/KOER. THE REAR DRIVE UNIT (RDU) IN THESE VEHICLES USES A BRUSHLESS DC MOTOR TO VARY THE AMOUNT OF TORQUE TO THE REAR AXLE, AND DURING FUNCTIONAL VERIFICATION, IT PRODUCES A NOTICEABLE NOISE THAT IS A NORMAL FUNCTION OF THE RDU. IF THE NOISE APPEARS ABNORMALLY LOUD, IT IS RECOMMENDED TO COMPARE THE NOISE FROM THE CUSTOMER'S VEHICLE WITH A 2019 AWD EDGE OR NAUTILUS BUILT BEFORE 22-JAN-2019 OR AFTER 03- MAR-2019, IN A SIMILAR ENVIRONMENT (I.E. BOTH OUTSIDE). IF THE NOISE IN THE CUSTOMER'S VEHICLE IS DETERMINED TO BE SIGNIFICANTLY LOUDER THAN A SIMILAR VEHICLE BUILT OUTSIDE THE BUILD DATES, DO NOT DISASSEMBLE THE RDU FOR FURTHER DIAGNOSIS, AN UPDATED RDU ASSEMBLY IS AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING 72 MPH THE PANORAMIC SUN ROOF EXPLODED WITHOUT WARNING OR IMPACT AND GLASS ENTERED VEHICLE. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURIES TO HER HAND BUT MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS NOT PROVIDED AS SHE WAS CLEANING THE GLASS OFF THE SEAT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LES STUMPF FORD (3030 W COLLEGE AVE, APPLETON, WI 54914 (920) 731-5211) WHERE THE FAILURE WAS DIAGNOSED THAT A ROCK MAY HAVE CAUSED THE SUNROOF TO SHATTER AS THERE WAS DAMAGE THAT LOOKED LIKE A ROCK HAD HIT THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED THAT THE SUNROOF WAS NOT LAMINATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 19,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TOUCH SCREEN ALTERNATES FROM BLUE SCREEN TO BACKUP CAMERA AND BACK AGAIN IT SEEMS IT'S STUCK IN A LOOP.

LOST ALL POWER WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY. I WAS ABLE TO COAST VEHICLE TO SHOULDER OF HIGHWAY AND THEN RESTART VEHICLE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING TOWED, WITH THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL, AN ABNORMAL SQUEALING SOUND WAS HEARD COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT DISCOVERED THAT 25 MILES INTO THE TOW, THE TRANSMISSION HAD INDEPENDENTLY SHIFTED INTO PARK. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS NO ONE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING TOWED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER OC WELSH FORD (4920 INDEPENDENCE BLVD HWY 278 HARDEEVILLE SC) HOWEVER, THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT YET DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,132. THE VIN WAS INVALID.

ON DECEMBER 31, 2019, THE POWERTRAIN MALFUNCTION/REDUCED POWER ERROR LIGHT CAME ON IN THE VEHICLE WHEN I STARTED THE CAR WHILE I WAS AWAY FROM HOME. WHEN I TRIED TO TURN THE GEAR SHIFT KNOB FROM PARK TO DRIVE IT WOULD NOT TURN. AFTER I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND WAITED A MOMENT THE CAR WAS ABLE TO START AND I RUSHED HOME TO CONTACT A FORD DEALERSHIP. WHEN I TRIED TO START AGAIN TO TAKE TO FORD DEALERSHIP IT WOULD NOT TURN AGAIN. THIS TIME IT REMAINED THAT WAY. ROAD SIDE ASSISTANCE WAS CALLED TO COME PICK UP THE VEHICLE THE FOLLOW DAY AFTER THE HOLIDAY TO TAKE TO THE DEALERSHIP. AS OF TODAY I STILL DON'T HAVE MY CAR THAT I HAVE ONLY HAD FOR 2 1/2 MONTHS DUE TO WHAT WAS DIAGNOSED AS A GSM (GEAR SHIFT MODULE) ISSUE. IT HAS BEEN OVER 3 WEEKS SINCE THE CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP UNABLE TO GET THE PART TO FIX IT. NOT SURE IF THIS IS A SAFETY RISK FOR INJURY BUT IT IS DEFINITELY A INCONVENIENCE IN MY DAILY LIVING.

2019 FORD EDGE ST - USING PARALLEL PARK ASSIST FEATURE, I FOLLOWED PROMPTS ON SCREEN, THE CAR BACKED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE, DAMAGING THE RIGHT REAR QUARTER-PANEL OF THE EDGE. I HAD TO TAKE OVER AND BRAKE ONCE I REALIZED IT WAS ABOUT TO HIT THE OTHER VEHICLE. NO ALERTS OR WARNINGS APPEARED ON THE SCREEN. THE SYSTEM SHOULDN'T HAVE CONTINUED WITH THE PARKING STEPS IF IT "LOST" ITS SENSORS ON THE SPACE AND SHOULD HAVE SENSED AN OBJECT IN THE PATH. THE VEHICLE ALSO HAS TRANSMISSION SHIFTING ISSUES AROUND 25-30 MPH. NEARLY STALLS BEFORE SHIFTING INTO GEAR AND ACCELERATING. THIS HAPPENS 100% OF THE TIME DRIVING IN STOP/GO TRAFFIC, SLOW ACCELERATING (NOT PUTTING PEDAL TO THE FLOOR), AND DRIVING CITY STREETS. THICK ICE/CONDENSATION BUILDS UP ON THE INTERIOR SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD WHEN PARKED OUTSIDE IN A COLD CLIMATE. MUST BE DRIED WITH A TOWEL (TOWEL WILL BE SOAKED FROM THE AMOUNT OF WATER BUILD-UP) BEFORE CAR CAN BE DRIVEN. DEFROST DOES NOT SOLVE THE ISSUE.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND AGREED TO PERFORM THE REPAIR UNDER WARRANTY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,200.
