I DROVE MY 2014 FORD EDGE UP ABOUT TWO BLOCKS TO A BUSY STREET, AND ATTEMPTED TO MAKE A LEFT TURN WHEN IT WAS CLEAR / SAFE. MIDWAY ACROSS A 5 LANE STREET, MY CAR STALLED.

I DROVE MY 2014 FORD EDGE UP ABOUT TWO BLOCKS TO A BUSY STREET, AND ATTEMPTED TO MAKE A LEFT TURN WHEN IT WAS CLEAR / SAFE. MIDWAY ACROSS A 5 LANE STREET, MY CAR STALLED. AS MUCH AS I PUSHED THE GAS PEDAL, NOTHING HAPPENED. THE WRENCH SYMBOL APPEARED ON THE DASH, AND THE CAR WAS SHAKING. I HAD MY TWO BABIES IN THE CAR WITH ME, AND WE'RE LUCKY WE WEREN'T T-BONED BY TRAFFIC COMING AT US FROM BOTH DIRECTIONS. I WAS SOMEHOW ABLE TO COAST ACROSS THE INTERSECTION IN TIME TO PULL OVER SAFELY. ONCE I WAS STOPPED THE CAR FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES TO CALL ROAD SIDE ASSISTANCE, I STARTED THE ENGINE AGAIN, AND EVERYTHING SEEMED NORMAL. I TRIED TO DRIVE IT FURTHER, BUT AFTER ABOUT 20 MILES, IT STALLED AGAIN THE SAME WAY. AGAIN, I PULLED OVER AND TURNED IT OFF, AND IT SEEMED TO WORK WHEN I TURNED IT BACK ON. ONCE IT STALLED FOR A THIRD TIME, I HAD TO PULL OVER AND HAVE IT TOWED. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH, THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM OTHER DRIVERS ARE FACING WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL, AND IT IS A VERY DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE. THE VEHICLE GAVE NO WARNING THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG (LIKE AN INDICATOR LIGHT IN ADVANCE OR EVEN A STRANGE NOISE) BEFORE IT STALLED, AND I HAVE RECEIVED NO COMMUNICATION FROM FORD ABOUT THIS SAFETY ISSUE OF WHICH FORD SEEMS TO BE AWARE.

DOOR AJAR LIGHT COMES ON WITH DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR, EVEN THOUGH DOOR IS CLOSED. THIS IN TURN CAUSES THE LIGHTS TO REMAIN ON INSIDE, CAUSING THE BATTERY TO DRAIN IF NOT NOTICED. THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT KEEPS THE DOORS FROM LOCKING, AND CAN BE A SAFETY ISSUE. THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES NOW.

LUCKILY SHE WAS ABLE TO COAST ONTO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITHOUT BEING HIT FROM THE REAR. IN THE DASH, THE "WRENCH" ICON DISPLAYED WITH A MESSAGE ALERTING HER TO SEE MANUAL. IT HAS BEEN 3YRS TO THE DATE SINCE WE'VE PURCHASED THE CAR AND NOTHING LIKE THIS HAS EVER HAPPENED. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE THAT WAS HAPPENING TO OTHER FORD EDGE'S IN 2013. AS FORD IS ABOUT SAFETY, I'M PERSONALLY OUTRAGED THAT THIS ISSUE IS STILL HAPPENING WITH NO RESOLVE. WHAT IF SHE HAD GOTTEN HURT; WHAT IF SHE HAD HURT SOMEONE ELSE DUE TO THIS ISSUE.

WE ARE EXPERIENCING HIGH LEVELS OF EXHAUST GASES INSIDE THE PASSENGER CABIN OF A 2014 FORD EDGE. THE EXHAUST FUMES ARE NOTICEABLE WHEN IDLING FOR EXTENDED PERIODS AND ARE MOST PRONOUNCED WHEN ACCELERATING AT HIGHWAY SPEED. EXHAUST GASES CAN REACH HIGH LEVELS SO UNCOMFORTABLE THAT WINDOWS MUST BE ROLLED DOWN TO FLUSH THE PASSENGER CABIN. THIS CONDITION HAS BEEN REPORTED TO A FORD SERVICE DEPARTMENT WHICH INDICATED THAT A METHOD OF REPAIR EXISTS BUT NO MANUFACTURER RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED TO DATE. THE CONDITION IS SIMILAR TO THAT IN THE FORD EXPLORER THAT RESULTED IN REPAIRS TO LAW ENFORCEMENT VEHICLES.

20V692000 · Power Train:axle Assembly:axle Shaft

Nov 10, 2020

Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2014-2016 Explorer, 2014-2015 Taurus and 2014 Edge vehicles equipped with 2.0L or 2.3L engines and front wheel drive. The support bracket for the front drive axle halfshaft may fail.

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: The failed bracket could result in a loss of park function which can cause unintended vehicle movement, and loss of motive power while driving which increases the risk of a crash.

Remedy: Ford will notify owners, and dealers will replace the link shaft bracket, free of charge. Parts are not currently available. Owners received an interim notification detailing safety risk December 8, 2020. A second letter will be mailed when parts become available in January 2021. The recall began February 2, 2021. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 20S63.

15V005000 · Fuel System, Gasoline:delivery:fuel Pump

Jan 9, 2015

Ford Motor Company (Ford) notified the agency on January 8, 2015, that they are recalling certain model year 2014 Ford Escape vehicles manufactured April 15, 2014, to May 8, 2014, and 2015 Lincoln MKC vehicles manufactured April 21, 2014, to May 15, 2014. On April 30, 2015, Ford expanded the recall to cover an additional 45,505 vehicles, including certain model year 2014-2015 Ford Transit Connect vehicles manufactured November 11, 2013, to August 29, 2014, 2014-2015 Ford Fiesta vehicles manufactured April 10, 2014, to June 17, 2014 and 2014 Ford Edge vehicles manufactured April 30, 2014, to May 21, 2014. Improper nickel plating of components within the fuel pump may result in the fuel pump failing.

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: If the fuel pump fails, the vehicle may stall without warning, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy: Ford will notify owners, and dealers will replace the fuel pump, free of charge. The recall began on February 27, 2015. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 14S30.

14V393000 · Power Train:axle Assembly:axle Shaft

Jul 2, 2014

Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain model year 2012-2014 Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX vehicles manufactured September 2, 2010, to November 30, 2013; 2013-2014 Ford Taurus and Lincoln MKS vehicles manufactured August 25, 2011, to November 30, 2013; and 2013-2014 Ford Flex and Lincoln MKT vehicles manufactured September 12, 2011, to November 30, 2013. In the affected vehicles, the halfshaft retention circlip may not have been properly installed, and as a result, the halfshaft may move outward and disengage from the linkshaft while driving and without prior warning.

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: If the halfshaft and linkshaft become disengaged while driving, power will no longer be transmitted to the wheels, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash. Additionally, if the parking brake is not applied before exiting the vehicle, the vehicle may roll away despite the transmission being placed in 'Park', increasing the risk of injury to exiting occupants and bystanders.

Remedy: Ford will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the vehicles to make sure that the halfshaft is properly retained. If it is not, dealers will replace the linkshaft and also replace the halfshaft if it shows evidence of spline damage, free of charge. The recall began on August 4, 2014. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-800-392-3673. Ford's number for this recall is 14S10.

PE15020 · Wheel Separation

Opened May 20, 2015 · Closed Jan 4, 2016

Status: closed (inferred from source dates) · Wheels:rim

On November 29, 2014, ODI received a complaint reporting the complete separation of an original equipment 22-inch alloy wheel rim mounted on the right front position of a model year 2014 Ford Edge vehicle (VOQ 10661278).The driver indicated that the right-front corner of the vehicle suddenly dropped while driving, causing the vehicle to go off the road to the right and into a field.The right-front wheel rim was found to have broken into two pieces. The owner said that there was no prior warning or wheel related problems with the vehicle. The vehicle had been driven approximately 8,500 miles at the time of the incident.On May 29, 2015 ODI sent an information request to Ford asking for detailed information related to the specific 22 inch alloy wheel used on the Edge as well as any peer vehicles which used the same type of wheel.On July 17, 2015 Ford provided ODI with the requested information. Ford's search showed that the single incident reported to ODI is the only instance of a wheel failure on the subject or peer vehicles.The failed wheel was sent to the National Transportation Service Board (NTSB) materials analysis laboratory for examination. The NTSB determined that the wheel failed because of a severe impact that caused a crack that rapidly propagated around the circumference of the wheel, The rim fracture surface had a predominantly rough appearance consistent with an overstress fracture (rapid fracture)There were no abnormalities or unique features associated with the fracture initiation site.Metallurgical analysis of the rim found that the material was within specification and no anomalies were identified that could have contributed to the failure.See the full NTSB report for more details.Based on the absence of additional failures and the results of the wheel material testing and failure analysis, this investigation is closed. The closing of this investigation does not constitute a finding by NHTSA that a safety-related defect does not exist. The Agency will continue to monitor complaints and other information relating to the alleged defect in the subject vehicles and take further action in the future if warranted.The following VOQ is associated with this investigation: 10661278
