The contact owns a 2017 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while his wife was driving at various speeds, the engine failed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and was repaired under warranty. While at the dealer, the contact asked the dealer to check the rear assembly light because there was water inside the rear light. The vehicle was inspected, and it was diagnosed that the seal behind the light had detached. The vehicle was not repaired due to the cost. The contact stated that the dealer had fractured a plastic piece while inspecting the vehicle. The contact noticed water and debris floating inside the rear lights. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 50,000
I bought this car used from Honda Dealership. It had 84,000 mileage on it and since then. The headlights are so dim and I can’t see you have to drive with high beam on every time I go at night I’ve changed almost we like 56 different types light bulb, but still nothing still worst. If I used one for the manufacturer one it’s nothing it’s literally dark outside. I can’t see nothing and another problem is as the ball joint since I bought it I took it from my first oil change when they did the inspection on the car they told me one of my passenger side ball joint was loose but that time I didn’t have money to repair it because it was almost $5000 they said and I was like I don’t have the money. I’m a college student so and recently my car wheel is...
I can not see a dark road in the night if there is no additional lighting, such as street lights. I have been to the dealership and there is no brighter bulbs approved by Ford; they have repositioned the lights and it does not help. I have missed a right turn several times and understeered. Twice I have missed the road completely and ran into a ditch that was not made visable when using the dim headlights. I have hit a fence post after going into the ditch. I made no insurance claim thinking that I was my fault that I can not see well in this vehicle. I see several post online with complaints and concerns regarding this same issue of the 2017 Edge Titanium not have efficient dim headlights. This is a major safety concern. I can not see to safely drive at night on dark roads such...
The contact owns a 2017 Ford Edge. The contact stated that the vehicle was parked when he noticed that there was water in the rear tail light assembly. The dealer recommended that the rear tail light assembly be replaced prior to the brake recall repair. The contact stated that he should not be responsible to pay for the defect of the rear tail light assembly filling up with water. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 72,910.
THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE VERY DIM, AND WHEN IT'S RAINING AT NIGHT, IT IS ALMOST TOO DIM TO DRIVE SAFELY. THE HIGH BEAMS WORK FINE, BUT THE LOW BEAMS ARE TOO DIM TO BE EFFECTIVE.
I HAVE HAD MY CAR IN THE SHOP FOR 3 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS WITH THE CAR HAVING NO POWER THAT SOMETHING IS DRAINING THE BATTERY. ALSO THE BACK BRAKE LIGHT HAS MOISTURE AND IS GETTING WORSE. THE 3 TIMES THAT MY CAR LOST ALL POWER WAS WHILE IT WAS PARKED, IT WAS COLD OUTSIDE AND RAINY.
CENTER LED LIGHT PANEL ON EXTERIOR LIFT GATE DEVELOPED CONDENSATION INSIDE WHICH HAS ACCUMULATED TO VISIBLE POOLS ON EACH SIDE OF THE LIGHT STRIP. WORRIED COULD CAUSE IT TO SHORT OUT WHICH COULD PUT VEHICLE AT RISK OR BEING STRUCK OR REAR ENDED WHEN BRAKING OR WHEN STOPPED DUE TO LACK OF VISIBILITY.
HEADLIGHTS ARE INADEQUATE. THEY ARE TOO DARK FOR NIGHT DRIVING. THEY DO NOT ADEQUATELY AND SAFETY ILLUMINATE THE ROAD. AUTONATION FORD IN ST PETERSBURG, FL DOES NOT ADMIT THE PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH THE PROBLEM IS WELL KNOWN AND IS WELL DOCUMENTED.
I LEASED THIS 2017 FORD EDGE IN DECEMBER OF 2017. UPON DRIVING IT AT NIGHT I NOTICED A VERY DIM LIGHT ON LOW BEAM SHOWING THE ROAD. I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST ME BUT THEN I HAD MY HUSBAND DRIVE HE ALSO EXPERIENCED DIFFICULTY IN SEEING THE ROAD WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS WERE ON LOW BEAM. I TOOK IT TO MY DEALER AND THEY VERIFIED THAT THE CAR HAS VERY LOW VISIBILITY ON THE LOW BEAMS. THEREFORE THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. I CONTACTED THE FORD MOTOR CO AND THEY TOLD ME THAT CAR WAS PERFORMING AS DESIGNED. THAT IS MY ISSUE. I DRIVE A LOT AT NIGHT AND THIS IS VERY MUCH A SAFETY CONCERN. I HAVE OWNED 6 FORD PRODUCTS IN THE PAST AND HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS TYPE OF LIGHTING. I ALSO HAVE DONE MY RESEARCH THRU THE INTERNET AND HAVE NOTICED MANY MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE...
