Brake booster went out twice and had to be replaced both times ( Jan 2022 and Jan 2023). Now I have HCU failure and lost braking. ( Dec. 2024). I also had a drive Shaft failure for inspection ( Oct. 2024). My car has 60,000 miles on it. I contacted Ford Corporation and my Ford dealership and my Vin is not part of the recalls for any of these issues. However my model year and manufacturer location were part of a recall for all three of these systems. My car has been serviced by a Ford authorized dealer each time. My braking system continues to be unreliable and scary to drive.

Put car in for regular service, and to investigate burning smell and transmission slippage. Mechanic found that the Power Transfer Unit (PTU) was completely filled with a paste-like sludge. (he has pictures) Mechanic says that the PTU is too close to the catalytic converter, therefore overheating the PTU and literally boiling the transfer fluid. He was able to clean the module, but says there's still a leak around the PTU seal. The work required to replace the seal, would also merit replacing the PTU. BUT, this is a $800 part! The safety risk would have been my transmission completely seizing up and causing an accident due to mechanical failure. The vehicle has had all of it's regular and milestone service work performed. No warning lights went off. I'm on borrowed time with this part and/or new transmission. Will there be a remedy to prevent this in the future?

I purchased my Ford from a used car lot and only 3 months later without any alerts my brake pedal goes to the floor. It makes a hissing sound like air being released. My brakes and fluid are fine? Why are their recalls on my same year vehicle, but not mine. I understand replacing brake booster, master cylinder will NOT help. Now I am broke from purchasing my Ford, I can't afford to dump more money into a vehicle that can't be fixed. You need to recall the entire car! Now my dash lights go crazy, even ABS once? This car is a freaking lemon and someone is going to get hurt. Then Ford will responsible for their manufactory error?

I was driving my 2013 Ford Edge when turning there was a pop, and vehicle would not engage into any gear causing an extreme safety issue. After being towed, it was noted that the intermediate shaft was broke and sheared the gears off. This is a very uncommon finding. We contacted Ford and was told there was not a recall on this vehicle. Therefore, we replaced, through Ford, the intermediate shaft and 2 new CV axles (ordered through a parts store). Once repairs were completed, the CV axle seal leaked and was also replaced. It started shaking upon acceleration. We then replaced the motor mounts and struts in an attempt to fix the problem. We also put another CV axle on passenger side at that time. At this point, after speaking to several different professionals regarding our...

My shifter cable degraded and I had to have it towed to Keith's Automotive Center in Torrance, CA. They supposedly fixed it but it is not working again. I saw that Ford recalled 2015-2018 Edge's (Campaign 22V413000) but I feel my year could possible be a problem as well. I have since taken it back to Keith's but they refused to look at it again even though it was under their warranty.

Traction control. Stabiltrak, and ABS system all randomly failed at 69,000 miles. They were intermittently going in and out for two days now come on every time.

Known common issue that will cost a thousand to fix. Master brake cylinder has been replaced and still having faulty petal issues that is no longer covered. The panoramic roof does not work and it is a known issue almost every edge has. And now sever safety issues with the ABS system and traction control.

MOST LIKELY HAD LEAK THAT WAS NOT DISCOVERED DURING CAR SERVICING. RESEARCHED ONLINE AND THE POWER TRANSFER UNIT SEEMS TO BE A MAJOR ISSUE WITH THE AWD FORD EDGE. SURPRISED THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL.

THE POWER TRANSFER UNIT FAILED WHICH COST $2,800.00 TO FIX. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL CAR. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE IT SEEMS TO BE BOTH VERY COSTLY AS WELL AS A SAFETY ISSUE AS WELL. AFTER BRINGING UP THE METALLIC NOISE A COUPLE OF TIMES WITH THE DEALERSHIP, I FINALLY ASKED THEM TO CHECK THE PTU UNIT WHICH IT WAS CONFIRMED TO BE.

THE DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS THE POWER TRANSFER UNIT AND INDICATED IT COULD FAIL AT ANY TIME (CAUSING A REAL SAFETY ISSUE). RELUCTANT TO RISK DRIVING IT ANY MORE THAN ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY, I HAD IT REPLACED AT A COST OF $2,000. THE DEALER SUBMITTED A CLAIM TO FORD TO SEEK ANY FINANCIAL HELP, SINCE IT HAD LESS THAN 69,000 MILES. CLAIM WAS DENIED ON THE BASIS THAT IT WAS BEYOND THE 60,000 MILE EXTENDED WARRANTY THRESHOLD AND THAT IT HAD NOT BEEN CONTINUALLY SERVICED BY THE DEALERSHIP.

STARTED NOTICING SMALL DRIPS OF DARK BLACK LIQUID ON DRIVEWAY WHERE VEHICLE WAS PARKED OVERNIGHT. FURTHER INVESTIGATION REVEALED THE DRIP WAS FROM THE PTU/POWER TAKEOFF UNIT. AFTER SOME RESEARCH, I DISCOVERED THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS AND COMMON PROBLEM ON THIS MODEL VEHICLE BECAUSE THE LUBRICANT CANNOT BE CHANGED NOR DOES THE MANUFACTURER RECOMMEND ANY MAINTENANCE ON THE UNIT. FAILURE OF THE PTU IS DANGEROUS AND WILL RESULT IN VEHICLE DISABLEMENT. THEREFORE THE ONLY OPTION IS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE UNIT WITH A NEW ONE THAT FORD HAS ADDED A DRAIN PLUG FOR LUBRICANT CHANGES AT SCHEDULED INTERVALS. THIS REPAIR WILL COST APPROXIMATELY $2000 PLUS LOSS OF THE USE OF VEHICLE.

WHILE DRIVING IN TOWN CAR LOST POWER AND LIMPED ALONG. YELLOW/ORANGE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. PULLED OVER TURNED ENGINE OFF THEN RESTARTED, WORKED FINE. MANUAL SAID POWER TRAIN LOSS OF POWER. THREE TIMES IT'S HAPPENED AND FORD CAN'T FIND CODE TO DETERMINE PROBLEM. NO CONFIDENCE IN CAR. IF HAPPENED ON HIGHWAY AT HIGH SPEEDS THERE PROBABLY WOULD HAVE BEEN MAJOR ACCIDENT

I'VE HAD SEVERAL INCIDENTS NOW WITH MY CAR, DYING WHILE I'M DRIVING, A COUPLE OF TIMES EVEN WHEN I WAS ENTERTAINING THE FREEWAY! WHEN I ACCELERATE, THE CAR STALLS AND THE DASHBOARD LIGHT OF A WRENCH. THE CAR WILL RESTART JUST FINE AFTER I TURN IT OFF AND START IT ALL OVER AGAIN.

IT STARTED WITH A BURNT OIL SMELL THAT COULD BE SMELT INSIDE THE VEHICLE ONCE IN A WHILE. THEN LITTLE BY LITTLE GRINDING NOISES STARTED TO BE HEARD FROM UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE AFTER SLOWING DOWN FROM A HIGHER SPEED. THE VEHICLE THEN STARTED MAKING A NOISE WHEN STEERING AND A RATTLING NOISE UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. ONCE IN A WHILE AND THEN STARTED BAGGING WHEN I WOULD GO TO ACCELERATE. THE NOISE IS MADE FROM UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE WERE INTERMITTENT SOMETIMES THEY WOULD DO IT AND SOMETIMES THEY WOULD NOT AND MANY TIMES THEY GOT VERY LOUD. YOU COULD HEAR THE NOISE WHILE DRIVING AND MORE SO WHILE SLOWING DOWN TO A STOP. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE VEHICLE WOULD BIGGER FORWARD WHEN GIVING A LITTLE GAS. WAS JUST MAY ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME BEFORE IT WAS NO LONGER DRIVE-ABLE. THIS IS ONLY A 6 1/2YR. OLD VEHICLE WITH 76,000...

THE VEHICLE BEGAN EMITTING A SMELL INTERMITTENTLY, WHICH WAS LATER DETERMINED TO BE GEAR OIL FROM THE TRANSFER CASE. EVENTUALLY, THE CAR BEGAN TO MAKE A GRINDING SOUND WHILE STEERING AND STOPPING UNTIL THE TRANSFER CASE BLEW UP AND DESTROYED THE TRANSMISSION. THE TRANSFER CASE AND TRANSMISSION WERE REPLACED, WAS TOLD THAT THIS TRANSFER CASE WAS AN "ISSUE" IN THESE CARS. AFTER REPAIR, THE CAR BEGAN TO MAKE NOISES AGAIN, GEAR OIL SMELLS IN THE PASSENGER CABIN, AND SUBSEQUENTLY, THE TRANSFER CASE AGAIN BLEW UP, FILLING THE PASSENGER CABIN WITH SMOKE AND DISABLING THE VEHICLE ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY LESS THAN 100 MILES AFTER PREVIOUS REPAIR. TRANSFER CASE REPLACED AGAIN, WAS DRIVEN BY THE MECHANIC FOR 26 MILES, AND AGAIN BLEW UP LEAVING THE VEHICLE DISABLED. THE TRUE FAILURE APPEARS THAT THE CAR IS FAILING TO SWITCH FROM AWD TO FWD WHEN IT GETS UP TO HIGH SPEEDS CAUSING REPEATED...

THIS HAS HAPPENED ON AT LEAST 6 OCCASIONS INT HE LAST WEEK. MOST RECENTLY I WAS TRAVELING ON A HIGHWAY AT APPROX. 50MPH WHEN THE ENGINE ENTERED A DEFAULT LOW POWER STATE AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. I WAS ABLE TO PULL ONTO THE SHOULDER AND THE CAR BEHIND ME WAS ABLE TO AVOID A COLLISION BY SLAMMING ON THEIR BRAKES. ADDITIONALLY, THE CAR CONSISTENTLY PRESENTS SYMPTOMS OF ROUGH IDLE, ROUGH ENGINE RUNNING AT NORMAL SPEEDS, AND A HIGHLY DECREASED FUEL ECONOMY. AFTER PULLING THE ODBII CODES AND SOME RESEARCH, THIS APPEARS TO BE A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE CAR'S THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY. THE ODBII CODE IS P2111.

TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY FAILED AT 36463 MILES AFTER MY WIFE GOT HOME FROM A 6 MILE TRIP. CAR TRANSMISSION FAILED TO GO IN REVERSE AND START VIBRATING VIOLENTLY WHEN TRYING TO PUT IN A FORWARD GEAR. CAR WAS 6 YEARS AND A FEW MONTHS OLD. DEALER AND FORD WOULD NOT BACK THE TRANSMISSION UP BECAUSE IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY,

PARK LIGHT INDICATION NIT WORKING WHEN PUTTING CAR IN PARK. WHEN SHAFTING INTO PARK, THE INDICATOR ON DASH DIES NIT SHOW P. IT DOESN'T SHOW ANY TRANSMISSION SETTING. IF I TURN CAR OFF, AN ERROR APPEARS SAYING TO SHIFT CAR INTO PARK. DRYING FIRST FEW MONTHS, I COULD TOGGLE THE SHIFT PUTT ON OR WIGGLE THE SHUFFLE CONTROL AND THE LIGHT INDICATING PARK WOULD APPEAR THUS ALLOWING ME TO TURN CAR OFF WITHOUT ALARM. IT IS BECOMING INCREASINGLY DIFFICULT TO GET THE LIGHT TO APPEAR AFTER PLACING THE LEVER IN PARK. AT TIMES, I MUST RESTART THE CAR IF I HAVE TURNED IGNITION OFF , RESHIFT AND HOPE IT RECIGNUZES THE PARK SETTING. SINCE THE LIGHT IS INCREASINGLY NOT LIGHTING WHEN IN PARK, IT'S A GUESSING GAME WHEN THRNING CAR OFF. IF IT ISN'T RECOGNUZED (ALTHOUGH SHIFT IS IN PARK) I CANNOT FULLY TURN OFF CAR. ONCE RECOGNIZED IN PARK...

RECENTLY HAD MY VEHICLE SERVICED FOR AN ONGOING DOOR LOCK ISSUE WHERE FORD EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERAGE. DURING THE MOST RECENT SERVICE ON 7 JAN 2020, THE SERVICE ADVISOR ALSO INDICATED AND DOCUMENTED THAT THE PTU (POWER TRANSFER UNIT) IS LEAKING FROM A VENT AND THAT INDICATES IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT APPROX $1,800.00. THE VEHICLE AS NOTED IN THEIR RECORDS AND MY ODOMETER, HAD ONLY 39,100 MILES AT THIS TIME. PER RESEARCH ON THE WEB IT APPEARS THIS IS A WELL KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE FORD EDGE THAT FORD IS AWARE OF AND DISCONTINUED USING THAT PARTICULAR PTU. WHEN QUESTIONED, THE FORD ADVISOR AT HOLMAN FORD INDICATED HE WAS NOT AWARE OF ANY SUCH ISSUES NOR THAT A DIFFERENT DRIVE PART WAS NOW BEING USED BY FORD. FORD IS NOT OFFERING ANY FORM OF COMPENSATION OR CREDIT OR ANY RECOMPENSE AT THIS TIME.

MY 2013 FORD EDGE RANDOMLY STALLS DOESN'T MATTER IF I'M TURNING GOING SLOW OR STRAIGHT AND GOING FAST. THE WRENCH LIGHT WILL SHOW UP. I USUALLY STOP, SHUT IT DOWN AND RESTART IT. IT'S PRETTY FRIGHTENING. I BROUGHT IT TO THE REPAIR SHOP AND THEY SAID IT MIGHT BE THE THROTTLE BOTTLE. GOT THAT CLEANED UP WHICH WAS TO DIRTY AND STILL STALLING.
