2014 Ford Edge

"DOOR AJAR" ALERT STAYS ON EVEN THOUGH THE DOOR IS FULLY SHUT. THE ALARM WILL KEEP GOING OFF WHILE DRIVING. IT THEREFORE LEAVES THE INTERIOR DOME LIGHTS ON WHICH CAN LEAD TO THE BATTERY DRAINING OVER NIGHT. UNABLE TO LOCK THE DOORS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. SAFETY ISSUE IF YOU HAVE KIDS OR FOR A WOMAN DRIVING ALONE. THE KEY FOB WON'T BE ABLE TO LOCK THE DOORS WHEN YOU LEAVE THE CAR PARKED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE WRENCH ICON ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY STARTED TO LOSE POWER, WHICH CAUSED THE SPEED TO DECREASE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED TWICE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AVIS FORD INC (29200 TELEGRAPH RD, SOUTHFIELD, MI 48034) AND WAS INFORMED TO RETURN IN A WEEK FOR FURTHER OBSERVATION. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO NORTH BROTHERS FORD INC (33300 FORD RD, WESTLAND, MI 48185) WHERE THEY REPLACED THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND UNABLE TO ASSIST. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 76,000. *TT*JB

I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE NEW, AND HAVE SLIGHTLY OVER 42,000 MILES ON IT. IN NOVEMBER 2018, WHEN DRIVING ON A 2 LANE ROAD IN THE CITY, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST ALL ACCELERATION AND THE WRENCH LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD CAME ON. I HAD TO QUICKLY MANEUVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AS THE VEHICLE LOST SPEED AND CAME TO A STOP. PUSHING DOWN ON THE ACCELERATOR WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING. I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO A DEALER, WHERE THEY DIAGNOSED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY WAS BINDING DUE TO CARBON BUILD-UP. THE DEALER REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY AND CLEANED THE FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM AND FUEL METERING SYSTEM. AS THE VEHICLE WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY, I HAD TO PAY OVER $650 FOR THE REPAIRS.

WAS DRIVING ON A SUNNY DAY ON THE HIGHWAY W/ AN OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE OF 53 DEGREES. HEARD A VERY LOAD NOISE AND THOUGHT I MAY HAVE BLOWN A TIRE. PULLED OVER AND CHECKED THE TIRES AND NOTICED THERE WAS SHATTERED GLASS ALL OVER THE TOP OF MY CAR. TURNS OUT THAT MY PANORAMIC SUNROOF LITERALLY EXPLODED!! NO TRUCKS WERE IN FRONT OF ME NOR ANY VIADUCTS THAT I WENT UNDER. $900.00 IN DAMAGE!! SEEN MANY FORUMS WITH THE SAME ISSUE AS WELL AS CONSUMER REPORT COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS. ALSO A FEW CLASS ACTION SUITS. NOT SURE WHY THIS HAPPENED AND WHO'S RESPONSIBLE, BUT THANK GOD THAT I HAD MY RETRACTABLE SUN VISOR CLOSED AT THE TIME OTHERWISE I'M CONFIDENT THAT ALL THAT GLASS WOULD HAVE HIT ME WITH SERIOUS INJURIES.THE NOISE WAS DEAFENING WHEN IT EXPLODED. WISH SOMEONE WOULD FESS UP TO THIS DEFECT BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY INJURED!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS LOW SPEEDS, THE ABS FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME STUCK TO THE FLOORBOARD ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHILE ATTEMPTING TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. VELDE FORD (488 US-1, VERO BEACH, FLORIDA 32962, (772) 569-3400) WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE VIA TELEPHONE AND STATED THAT EITHER THE MASTER CYLINDER, THE BRAKE BOOSTER, OR THE BRAKE MODULE MAY HAVE BEEN FAULTY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT FORMALLY DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO THE DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 40,000.

ON SATURDAY OCT. 6 AT APPROX. 9 P.M. WITH MILD WEATHER/TEMP. AT 70 MPH ON LEFT LANE OF HIGHWAY IN A CONSTRUCTION ZONE WITH NO EMERGENCY SHOULDER, WRENCH SYMBOL APPEARED AND IT WOULD NOT KEEP UP TO SPEED. BECAUSE OF THE SUDDEN SLOW DOWN, WE WERE ALMOST HIT SEVERAL TIMES TRYING TO GET TO THE RIGHT. THE SPEED DROPPED SUDDENLY. LIMPED IT ALONG TO WHAT WE "THOUGHT WAS A SAFE EXIT" AND CALLED STATE POLICE. WHILE WAITING I KEPT THE CAR ON WITH HAZARD LIGHTS. THEN TWO VEHICLES APPEARED TRIED TO BLOCK US IN AND WE BELIEVE ROB US. I WAS ABLE TO HIT THE GAS AND GET 1/4 MILE BEFORE IT DID IT AGAIN. WOULD NOT MOVE, CHUGGED AND CUT OFF. THE SUSPICIOUS PEOPLE TOOK OFF BUT IT WAS TERRIFYING TO BE SO VULNERABLE AND NOT BE ABLE TO GET AWAY. IT WAS TOWED BY STATE POLICE TO CLOSEST DEALER OF THE AUTO GROUP WE PURCHASED FROM AS A CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED VEHICLE. AFTER READING ONLINE THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MANY, MANY PEOPLE AND HOW DANGEROUS IT IS, I WANTED TO REPORT IT. THIS ISSUE IS GOING TO KILL PEOPLE. IT IS THE THROTTLE BODY. THE FORUMS ARE LOADED WITH PEOPLE THAT FACED THIS SUDDEN DANGEROUS SITUATION.

FORD EDGE WITH 58,000 MILES WAS BEING DRIVEN BY WIFE. WHILE TRAVELING AT 50-55 MILES PER HOUR, THE VEHICLE SHOWED A WRENCH ICON AND DECELERATED IMMEDIATLY TO 5MPH IN THE MIDDLE OF RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC IN THE LEFT LANE. THE LOSS OF POWER PUT THE CAR INTO LIMP MODE WHERE MY WIFE HAD TO TRY TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE IGNITION WAS TURNED OFF, THEN BACK ON AND THE CAR DROVE FINE AFTERWARDS. THE SUDDEN LOSS OF PROPULSION IS VERY SCARY ESPICALLY RIGHT AFTER DROPPING YOUR 1 YEAR OLD OFF AT DAYCARE WHO COULD HAVE BEEN IN THE CAR. WE HAVE RESEARCHED THIS AND FOUND MANY OTHER VEHICLES WITH THIS DEFECT POSSIBLY THROTTLE BODY. AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF, ALL CODES WERE ERASED SO THE ONLY WAY TO GET THE CAR CHECKED FOR THE ISSUE WOULD BE TO STRAIGHT FROM FORD "DRIVE UNTIL THE ERROR HAPPENS AGAIN".
