CarComplaints.com Notes: There was plenty of hope that Ford would fix their “door ajar†warning light issue for the 2014 model year. This widespread problem has caused the previous 3 model years to stay on top of defect trend lists.
So far, the 2014 Edge doesn't share the poor reputation of prior model years.

While driving on a highway at aprox 50mph my car ran out of brakes completely. The car, a 2014 Edge, is around 56000miles with all services uptodated performed by a Ford dealer. In the latest service the change the rear brake pads
At 60,000 miles my 2014 Ford Edge master cylinder failed while driving at around 10 mph on my street as I was getting ready to park which effected braking. This caused me to hit the high concrete curb in front of my house and mess up my front bumper. I ended up having to pull the lower bumper cover off to keep it from dragging the ground. The master doesn't completely fail though, it works for about a dozen stops and then the pedal gets soft for one stop. Upon calling Ford this is one of the VIN numbers that is not covered under the recall. I don't understand how there are so many failures of the brake booster and master cylinder with a lot of Ford models that have the same engine, but I'm suppose to believe they got the problem fixed before my vehicles...I have a feeling that as vehicles start to hit the same mileage around my year there will be a lot more of these issues popping up.
When the vehicle sits overnight in the garage and I first back out the rear brakes make a grinding noise like the pads are sticking. When I start forward in drive it stops. The rear rotors are being grooved with this marks. The vehicle only has 23,000 miles on it. When I contacted Ford I was told that the brakes are only covered for 12 months or 12,000 miles
The contact owns a 2014 Ford Edge. While driving at 70 mph, the brakes automatically engaged. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the brake sensor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown. MA 07/30/15 updated 10/19/2017
On several occasions while driving and moving my foot from the gas pedal to the brake pedal, my shoe has gotten hung up on the open space by the gas pedal. There is a open gap between the side panel near the gas pedal on the right. Unlike other cars I looked at it is not one continuous piece of molding. When moving my foot from the gas pedal to the brake my shoe got caught in the open area. In 2 instances it caught and pulled off my sandal delaying my ability to get to the brake pedal. In other instances it caught my shoe and delayed my braking time.
