The contact owns a 2020 Ford Edge. The contact stated that the USB port became inoperable. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, who stated that the unit was destroyed. There were no warning lights illuminated. The dealer informed the contact that liquid might have fallen into the unit. The vehicle was repaired. The contact replaced the charging cord. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the screen went black. The vehicle was taken to the same local dealer, where it was diagnosed that the Accessory Protocol Interface Module (APIM) needed to be replaced and there was no warranty coverage on the vehicle. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline. The failure mileage was 39,006.

The screen sometimes won-??t work at all. Just get a black screen and the power button won-??t turn it back on. Tried pressing all buttons and it wouldn-??t turn on until I shut off the car and turned it back on.

Rearview camera displays black distorted image. Vehicle is available for inspection upon request. The sensors do not appear to work as designed, which coupled with the distorted image allows for accidental backing if not careful. The problem has been acknowledged by FORD via recalls on other model years, but not the 2020. Manufacturer will inspect for a fee. Police and insurance have not been involved as there has been no accident with my vehicle. No warning signs or lamps illuminated to advise of this problem at any time. The camera first started displaying the distorted image last week, 15 June 2023.

Vehicle has never had a trailer attached ever and randomly while driving the vehicle said trailer connected and disabled all safety features while I was driving. Then while driving it would say trailer disconnected and shortly after the trailer connected message would pop buck up and start all over again. This all happened on 1 drive without shutting off the vehicle and happened roughly 10 times throughout my drive. Vehicle currently has 18755 miles on it. The trailer pin connector port has never been opened and I have owned this car since day one.

Husband was driving us home. Vehicle lost power, car started slowing down. Had to pull over to side of road. Car would restart but continued to die and would not change gears. 3 occurred for several hours. Got car towed to dealer ship. The next day car started ok. This could have caused an accident and could have killed somebody. Car is currently at dealership. Have not been told what is wrong at this time. Only have towing paper work at this time. Just received a call they says it-??s the fuel pump.

Have had issues from day one. Lane centering hugs middle line, back up camera is black at times, when in drive screen is blank, all tools on steering have went out including turn signals, cruse control, collision avoidance flashes when no one is in front of me, brakes due to collision avoidance malfunction etc. in November 2021 car was in park ( know that for sure it was in park and not moving as fed ex came for delivery and walked around back of car to get package before accident) and rolled to front pinning me and breaking pelvis and back. During this incident the safety failed in park, anti collie on failed, 9 days in hospital and months of rehab. Again coming back from doctor lost steering controls. 7 weeks in shop and many calls to dealer and ford motor they replaced main wiring harness stating to me in an email and in person this was the cause of all issues including the roll over. Just got car back on 6/17/22. Shall see if this fixes problem but I don-??t even want to drive this car anymore! Total miles to date 17,000

On 11-16-2021 I put my 2020 Ford Edge in park, got out, and it rolled away. After I put the Edge in park, I opened my door and was moving a trash can, when the Edge rolled forward pinning me.
