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.

Power take off assembly failed according to the service department this is a major problem with this particular vehicle and they can randomly fail regardless of mileage and can actually explode and wipe the transmission out and if that was to happen while driving could be disastrous on the highway but fortunately that did not happen but could have Ford needs to recall and fix this issue

After stopping and putting the transmission shift lever in park, a message will appear on the dash that says the transmission is not in park. But it is. You can click the shift switch and the message will go out within 5-10 seconds. Every once in a while it will stay on for close to 30 seconds. The message doesn't come up constantly. Usually about every couple of times you stop and park. You never know if the transmission is really in park. You have to assume that it is. One of these times it really will not be and someone will get hurt. The dealer doesn't want to fix it until it comes on constantly. Now it is only intermittent. Ford has a tsb on the problem. But they want the customer to pay for the repair. It covers several Ford models over several years. To me this is a safety issue. The owner never really knows if the transmission is in park or not. This has been happening on my vehicle for over a year now.

I noticed oil on my garage floor from my wife's Ford Edge. I took it in to my local Ford dealer and was told I need a new P T U.this SUV only has 64,000 and some miles. I had the part replaced to the tune of $2100 plus. I have since found out that this is a common part to go bad on the Ford Edge.I feel this part is defective in design or defective because the parts are not built strong enough to do the job.Ford knows there is a problem with the P T U but will not offer any help to the consumer.

I've noticed over the course of the past 2 years that the transmission slams into gear between 1st and 2nd causing the car to jerk. This has happened approx. 12 times that I can recall. It usually occurs between 10 mph and 20 mph.

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.

The power train malfunction light came on while driving. I was on the interstate going around 75 mph and on 3 lanes of heavy morning commute traffic. When the power train light came on, I lost the ability to use the gas and could not accelerate. I did have the ability to brake. I had to get to the side of the road quickly despite the heavy traffic. I stopped on the side of the road, turned the car off and back on. Once turning off and on, the power train light was no longer illuminated and I was able to drive again. The cause of the fault in unknown.

When I put the vehicle in park it displays the "transmission not in park" light. When this displays you cannot lock doors properly. The only way to adjust this is to either tap the gear shift button for standard drive or restart and kill the car. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. this has been happening off and on since 30,000 miles but out of the 3 year warranty. I am being told they have to replace the shifter to correct the problem. They also tell me it is a common problem with this car.

When putting the vehicle in park it does not register the park position. After turning it off it pulled forward, but normally it will stay parked. I have a video of the park not engaging, but it is bigger than 5 mb. It has been happening for about 2-3 weeks, will be taking it to the dealership.

On April 3, 2018, my wife was driving our 2014 Ford Edge. As she was entering a curve at 35 mph, the 'low oil pressure light came on' and she immediately lost the capability to easily turn the steering wheel, and the car began to slow down rapidly. Fortunately, she was not on a freeway or she could have been seriously injured or killed. She realized that even though the engine was still running, the gas pedal would not work. I called planet Ford in houston where we purchased the car and I routinely have the car maintained. Anthony, the quick lane manager, told me to bring the car in. By then, we had checked the internet for similar occurrences and we had found that there had been thousands of similar reports and millions of dollars paid by Ford in lawsuits. Anthony told me that he would fix the car at no cost after I explained the details and told him that this should have been a 'recall issue'. they had serviced the car less one month earlier. On Tuesday, April 10th, I called and found that the car had been moved to the regular service area. It still was not fixed. Brad zook, the service manager, told me that I was going to have to pay for the repair even though I told him that anthony said it would be free.later that day, it was 'repaired' and we picked up the car. They had to replace the 'etb' which is exactly what the internet referred to. I called brad on Wednesday and asked how they diagnosed the problem. He said it was a combination of codes (strange) and my description of the problem. How do I know that this won't happen again, or some other malfunction that wasn't a recall, will happen next!?

I have infrequent linkage concerns while traveling at slower speeds usually in parking lot type traffic where braking and light acceleration are constant. After coasting, in drive, there is a slight hesitation when the accelerator is pressed, then a noticeable, sometimes hard, engagement of the transmission.
