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.

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.

Car stopped running in the middle of a red light and when pushing the gas would not do anything and when put into park the whole car shook really bad. Had to get out of the middle of the road so that I would not be hit from behind.

After driving and placing the vehicle in park, then turning off the engine; which is done by "pushing button control, " the indicator reads " transmission not in park". although the gear handle is fully engaged in the park position. Only after pushing the gear handle with a little force to ensure it's in the "park", position, does the dash indicator changes to "park". and it's safe to exit the vehicle.

I was driving my car down a side street when all of a sudden the dashboard flashed "low engine oil pressure" and I lost control of the steering, brakes, and gas. The car essentially just stalled out and just started rolling until I hit the emergency brake. I had the car towed to the dealership and after looking at it for two days they couldn't replicate the error and couldn't find anything wrong with the car. The computer registered no errors and I was told there was nothing they could do.
