NHTSA Complaint #10535720 — 2012 FORD EDGE

MY 14 MONTH OLD, 2012 FORD EDGE, HAS HAD NUMEROUS ISSUES, SOME VERY SERIOUS! FROM THE BEGINNING, I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THE SYNC SYSTEM, THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM, AND CONTROLLING THE TEMPERATURE. THEY HAVE HAD TO "UPDATE" MY SYNC SYSTEM MORE THAN ONCE. I FREQUENTLY GET A "NO KEY DETECTED" MESSAGE WHEN DRIVING. (PUSH START SYSTEM) THE FIRST TIME THAT HAPPENED I PULLED OFF THE ROAD THINKING IT WOULD STOP RUNNING, AND DID $1400.00 IN DAMAGE TO THE CAR. (COVERAGE WAS DENIED BY THE WHEEL AND TIRE PROTECTION PLAN.) LATER WAS TOLD THE CAR WOULD NOT HAVE STOPPED EVEN IF IT DIDN'T RECOGNIZE THAT THE KEY FOB WAS IN IT. (A CAR-JACKERS DREAM!) I HAD A HOLE IN MY BRAKE BOOSTER CAUSING ME TO NOT HAVE THE BENEFIT OF POWER BRAKES. FOUND THIS OUT WHEN I STEPPED ON MY BRAKES AND WASN'T STOPPING. I HAD THE REALLY PUSH ON THEM TO PREVENT HITTING A CAR. THE BATTERY DIED IN 14 MONTHS. THE LATEST IS THAT THE VACUUM SEAL IN THE CAPLESS FUEL SYSTEM HAD A BAD O-RING CAUSING FUEL TO LEAK AND VAPORS TO ESCAPE. I TRULY BELIEVE THAT THIS CAR IS POORLY MADE. I'M JUST WAITING FOR THE NEXT ISSUE TO SURFACE. *TR
