2014 Ford Edge

DRIVER SIDE HEAD LIGHTS DO NOT COME ON WHEN LIGHTS ARE FIRST TURNED ON. CHECKED BULBS AND OK. THEN WHEN HIGH BEAM IS TURNED ON THE LIGHT WILL COME ON AND BOTH LOW AND HIGH BEAM WILL WORK. OK FOR A COUPLE DAYS THEN SAME PROCESS. IN CHECKING ONLINE BLOGS SEE A LOT OF OWNERS COMPLAIN OF SAME OR SIMILAR PROBLEM. . SUGGESTIONS TO REPLACE RELAY BUT WHEN GOING TO DEALER SUGGEST REPLACING COMPLETE ASSEMBLY WHICH IS VERY EXPENSIVE. ALSO RELAYS MAKE LIKE ALMOST A TRANSMISSION SHIFTING NOISE WHEN GOING FROM LOW TO HIGH BEAM AND BACK. BECAUSE OF LACK OF DEPENDABILITY FEEL COMPELLED TO HAVE TO CHECK LIGHTS EVERY TIME YOU GO SOMEPLACE.

WHILE EXITING A PARKING LOT INTO THE MAIN THOROUGHFARE THE BRAKES SUDDENLY BECAME HARD AND UNRESPONSIVE. ADDITIONALLY WE HAVE NOTED A SQUEALING AND HISSING SOUND COMING FROM THE BRAKES WHEN THE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED. WE TOOK THE CAR TO A FORD DEALERSHIP AND DETERMINED THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE BRAKE BOOSTER SYSTEM. RESEARCH SHOWED THE FORD HAD ISSUED A SAFETY NOTICE (13N02) AND EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THE FORD EDGE AND THE LINCOLE MKX VEHICLES FOR THE MODEL YEARS 2010 - 2013. I CONTACTED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE AND REQUESTED THAT THE SAFETY NOTICE BE EXTENDED TO COVER 2014 AS WELL AS IT IS APPARENT THE ISSUE IS ONGOING AND NOT ISOLATED TO THE MODEL YEARS CURRENTLY COVERED. FORD HAS DECLINED TO COVER THE ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED AND THE WRENCH ICON INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MAC HAIK FORD (972-223-8050, LOCATED AT 515 S INTERSTATE 35 EAST SERVICE RD, DESOTO, TX 75115) WHERE THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THERE WAS NO FAILURE WITH THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 76,000.

I HAD BEEN DRIVING FOR ABOUT 40 MINUTES AROUND 35 MILES PER HR, ON A STREET. I SLOWED DOWN TO CHANGE LANES TO ENTER THE FREEWAY RAMP.THEN WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, IT WOULD BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN AND LOSE POWER. THE WRENCH ICON APPEARED, BUT WAS ABLE TO STEER, AROUND A FEW FEET, INTO A SERVICE STATION . THE VEHICLE CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. I KEPT THE ENGINE RUNNING BUT THERE WAS NO ACCELERATION. WHEN PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR THERE WAS NO ACTIVITY. I PLACED THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND TURNED OFF THE IGNITION. MAYBE ONE MINUTE LATER, I RESTARTED THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE STARTED RIGHT UP. THE ACCELERATOR WORKED PROPERLY. INSTEAD OF ENTERING THE FREEWAY I TOOK ANOTHER ROUTE HOME,WHICH WAS ABOUT 15 MILES AWAY. I HAD THE VEHICLE TAKEN TO A FORD DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY WHICH WAS 4/11/2019. AFTER INSPECTING IT,FORD STATED THEY COULD NOT IDENTIFY ANY PROBLEMS. I HAVE AROUND 76,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. I AM VERY MUCH AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE, BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY DANGER THAT IT POSE. I AM RETURNING IT BACK TO FORD FOR FURTHER INSPECTION. I DID NOT RECEIVE ANY WARNING BEFORE THE VEHICLE LOSS ACCELERATION. I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO AVOID A CRASH, IF THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN THE USUAL TRAFFIC OR IF I WOULD HAVE ENTERED THE FREEWAY AS PLANNED.

I BARELY MANAGED TO GET TO SIDE OF ROAD DUE TO HEAVY TRAFFIC; THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING VERY ROUGH AND WOULDN'T SMOOTH OUT.
