This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The vehicle is a 2019 Ford Edge AWD. At 39,500 miles white smoke comes out of tailpipe, engine coolant quickly disappears, engine runs rough and check engine comes on. At this point the vehicle is undrivable and won-??t respond to gas pedal inputs. Appears to be a known engine issue; however, dealer says it-??s an exhaust gas recirculation pump and parts needing replacement, with approximate cost of $2000. This is a premature failure of an engine and may cause a safety concern if driving at highway speeds. Vehicle is out of 5 year warranty with 4/2019 build date.
I had taken my vehicle to mitchell selig Ford dealership for a problem with coolant burning white smoke out of my exhaust pipes. They did a diagnostic check and they found the egr cooler leaking into the exhaust causing engine misfire and white smoke. When I discovered the smoke I was on the highway and my car had stalled twice in the middle of traffic that could've resulted in a horrible accident. Luckily no one hit me and I was able to restart my car. I had to refill my coolant multiple times to avoid my engine catching on fire.
I purchased vehicle 4/11/2023 with 41,000 miles. I started to experience concerns with acceleration periodically and clunking in the rear end prior to warranty ending, ford dealership inspector stated that they didn-??t find anything. After 80, 000 miles it occurred more often, shuttering between 2-3rmps. Lack of ability to accelerate was a safety concern. A different Ford Dealership inspector reported torque converter clutch stuck open and circuit.Fluid drained indicating debris and heavy metallic and dark, prior to recommended ford manual service.
While driving on a 65 mph road the car quit accelerating and the speed dropped quickly. This unexpected change in speed experienced by a young driver almost caused her to be rear ended and others to have an accident swerving around her. The check engine light came on right as this happened. Dealership replaced EGR Cooler but it did not fix the problem. Vehicle is jerking and shuddering during acceleration.
I purchased this vehicle brand new. Within a year or so of purchasing we noticed some chugging with acceleration. Started out around the 20-30mph area. When we took to out local Ford dealer for routine maintenance we mentioned and they said they didn't find anything wrong. We chalked it up to our imagination. As time progressed it seemed to get worse. We mentioned it a couple more times and they said they didn't hear of an issue or find anything with the inspections. Come to October of 2023 when we were feeling it even at speeds on the interstate, we again took it it. The service man then told us that this is happening with multiple vehicles. They thought they had a fix, but within 2 weeks it returned on other people. He said hold on. We are in contact with Ford to see what to do. He will let me know. Then in March 2024, I became so frustrated I called them again asking if they heard anything from Ford. He said bring it in. I asked if that was something they were taking care of or I was responsible for. He responded, let's just get it in and see. I got a call the back after his 'inspection' to tell me the 'fix' didn't work but it was only $70 and we needed a new transmission that was $4500. I was so flustered at that point, I had him call my husband. (I was literally on my way to hospital with an emergency). This has been ongoing for years and I have been pushed off and now that it's not under warranty I am responsible for something that they don't even know is wrong. I have been recommended to read Ford blogs regarding this and this is a know problem with vehicle and a know tactic with dealerships to avoid responsibility. Frustrated!!!!
The car jerks forward when gas pedal is lightly pressed up to 40mph. I'm continually almost hitting cars in traffic even when staying a good distance away. At first it will not go and then all of a sudden jerks. There is a TSB ion the transmission. It does a buck / shudder/jerk
Infotainment system blacked out while driving and then began showing rear camera intermittently while driving. SB issued suggests this issue requires AIN software update. Dealer says SYNC module, TCU and rear camera need to be replaced. Seems to be discrepancy in whether or not this is a covered recall. Please advise.
Transmission, it hard to get it in reverse. It jumps into drive noises when I put into drive. When put in part It still rolls sometimes. When I put it in reverse it rolls forward.
The panoramic Sunroof/Moonroof exploded/imploded while driving at highway speed on interstate 75 in Kentucky. The sound created by the event was terrifying! I thought either a bomb had explode or a high powered bullet had struck the vehicle. A few glass shards got into the cabin, the sunscreen was closed at the time which prevented most of the broken glass from injuring anyone. The vehicle was inspected by a Ford company body shop and one insurance representative. There were no warning or symptoms prior the the failure.
I was driving down the road when out of nowhere my sunroof started raining glass in the inside of my car!! There was no Crack or stone that hit it nothing!! There needs to be a recall on this had I known this was an issue I never would have bought a vehicle with a sunroof gad I known!! The Ford dealership said they hadn't heard about anything like this happening but where I was suppose to have it fixed they had another ford 2019 edge same thing happend! I now have to pay 500 dollars for something that's not my fault! I did research and there have been issues with the sunroof randomly exploding and shattering! Please do better ford! There so quick to put a recall on something that isn't safety related but an exploding sunroof isn't an issue"!" Not happy!!
This incident is related to the rear view camera and the sync/radio interface in my vehicle. The recent recall for ford explorers in relation to the rear cameras are also present in the ford edge. In addition to these issues, when I am driving my rear view camera will turn on while driving. This has occurred on the freeway and has impacted how my car reacts to collision assists, lane keeping/departure functions. I have taken my car to ford and they have neglected the issue and said there is nothing they can do. I have left voicemails to get my car looked at again and reported to ford but seeing the recall headlines today about ford suvs I wanted to report that this is also happening yo ford edges and has caused issues for me. I believe this to be a glitch in the sync software. This has been an ongoing issue but has most recently occurred to me yesterday. I have video of this behavior as well but included a photo - you can see the car is in drive and the rear view camera is active.
So bacially my friends have had a problem with there st ford edge 2019-2022 where if there is salt on the rear window it shatters it or if the rear defroster heats up to fast it will shatter the rear window on the ford edge st it could be unsafe if it shatter while driving most happened when in park and closed the doors.
The moon roof broke. As we were driving down the highway we heard a metallic ping. After we parked I was hit in the head by a piece of glass from the roof. When I looked the drivers front corner on the mood roof broke right then. As I looked each of the four corners were broken.
I was leaving for work and I got to the end of my road and realized I forgot my wallet at home. I turned around and came back to my house. I parked in my driveway where there is a wooden gate. I parked my car, turned it off. Got out of the car and it was rolling forward toward me and my gate. Luckily the gate stopped it from rolling and I jumped into it and put the emergency brake on first then I notice the knob was in P(Park). I was not injured but the front of my passenger bumper which hit my gate got scuffed up. They say at ford there is mp recall bit when I googled my scenerio it has happened to several other people and now ford has issued a recall.
Our 2019 Ford Edge started to have repeating issue with the Sync touch screen. The screen would turn blue and nothing can be done to reset it in the car. One time a when the screen went blue, I pulled over and turned the car for at least 30 minutes. And it still had an issue when I restarted the car. I went as far as disconnecting the battery in order to get the Sync system to reset. Ford needs to come up with a system update to fix this reoccurring problem.
The vehicle caught fire. It started smoking from under the hood on the driver's side while I was driving slowly in traffic. I pulled over and the smoke continued and caught fire a few seconds later. The fire department was nearby and came quickly to put the fire out. -My safety was put at risk by the car catching fire spontaneously. -The problem has not been reproduced or confirmed by a service center -The vehicle has not yet been inspected by any authorities or agencies -There were no warning lights or indications that anything was wrong before it caught on fire
Transmission engagement concerns, harsh upshifting. The car bucks when going through the gears. Dealership cannot reproduce the problem. Delays in acceleration while pulling out onto busy roads are a safety concern. No one else has inspected the problem. There are no warning lights.
