2012 FORD EDGE Complaints

While driving. the all wheel drive off and wrench lights up on the car dash screen. The car stalls and comes to stop. If I wait a minute it starts up. It repeatedly does this, then it will be okay for some time before it does again. I’ve. Had it at Ford garage, they say can’t duplicate or find anything on the scanner. It’s dangerous to drive this way. I would appreciate any help you can give me.

The Power Brake Booster diaphragm fails. This caused the brakes to feel rock hard when depressing the pedal and almost not stop the vehicle. There is also a "hissing noise" when depressing the brake pedal. At other times the brake pedal will slowly sink to the floor while being depressed at a stop light. The vehicle is unsafe and can't be driven safely. It only has 115,762 miles on it. An independent repair shop confirmed the vacuum leak in the Power Brake Booster and suggested we contact Ford because they heard this is a consistent issue with this model. One representative at Ford did acknowledge that they have a failure of the power brake booster diaphragm and that they had extended the warranty on this specific item. I went to get it repaired at the dealership and they claim that warranty ended in May 2022 even though I have not exceeded the mileage of this extended warranty (120,000). Another Ford representative today indicated that there isn't an extended warranty for this item, but rather it is a recall item. She then said that there isn't a program for the repair, however. This is a legit safety issue that Ford acknowledges exists, but they aren't willing to correct the issue. That is unacceptable. Someone is going to get hurt and Ford knows it, but doesn't care. Who can help get this corrected?

The door ajar sensor is faulty. The lights stay on in the car even after the door is closed. This is a safety risk when driving at night. While driving the audible ding will go off while driving causing a distraction from driving. There was a recall issued but it has expired even though the issue is still existent. Ford says they will not cover the cost of the repair because it is expired even though we received no notification of the recall.

Intermittent brake issue, rock hard or down to the floor squish very soft and having to pump brakes, hissing noise. I am afraid there is going to be some kind of highway crash because of this problem and my warranty is not covering it because it's intermittent, but when it does happen it lasts days. I have a baby now and am afraid to drive my vehicle to far/fast. With all the comments I've been seeing it's the exact same issue, model and year. This NEEDS to be recalled before it turns into the Toyota problem years ago when the brakes completely failed.

This car has to have the break lines bleed regularly and it seems to be a common problem in the model.

On 12/22/2021 I was going to an appointment, when i got the bottom of the driveway the brakes kept fading like I was loosing brake fluid, I drove to my mechanics it was diagnosed to be ABS hydraulic control module. My understand from trying to get a new part, there are several hundred people looking for the same part. There were no dash lights or warnings so it is hard to believe that there are not accidents by this issue. If this had occurred on the road there would have been no stopping in an emergency. My car is still sitting waiting for the part. Its here if you need to check it out. The part is very difficult to get to. Again no warning till i put my foot on the brake pedal
