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.
Purchased new 2014 Ford Edge SEL in February of 2014 & 1 month later on March 12, 2014 at 200 miles, I tried to start it, it shuddered & wouldn't start. Had it towed to the Ford dealership where purchased from and they diagnosed a bad purge valve which they replaced at no cost due to being under warranty.
One year later on June 3, 2015 at 9110 miles, I was in bumper to bumper traffic when engine shuddered again & shut down. Continued to restart it, drive a few yards & shut down again. Managed to do this til I got off the highway and into a parking lot. Had it towed to Ford dealership & once again they said it was bad purge valve & replaced it for the 2nd time. By this time I realized Ford is not reliable & traded it in immediately for a 2015 Lexus RX350. I've driven Toyota for 25 years and never had an issue.
