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.
Truck exhibits idle dip below 500 RPM during deceleration when almost stopped. Truck tries to push through stop, engine nearly dies once truck is stopped engine corrects and idle returns to normal.
Date of purchase smelled rubber on the drivers front wheel. Truck bounces all over continues to do so, this causes poor steering control as well. Brakes alternates from grabbing or slow in working, PCM has been reprogrammed, yet the whinning in the engine or drive train continue. Suspension very weak, vehicle leans to the right on the curves and steering control is dangerous.
Consumer contatced dealership for engine stalling. Dealer stated that PCM module was programmed incorrectly, causing slave belt and clutch to work improperly on a intermittent basis.

I have had nothing but problems out of this truck. Itstarted off by having a bad ignition peice to where some days it would start, some it would not. Next, the air conditioner leaked and filled up my passenger side floor board on a trip to the beach. Then the engine begins to stall. It does not always stall at the same speed or temp. Or anything. I took it to the dealer, they tried fixing it, nothing happened so I took it back again, the still could not replicate the problem so they installed a diagnostic machine which was suppose to give the dealer feedback on the problem, which it did not. So I got the truck back and the same day it did it twice. It still does this about once a day. Which day will be the day I am merging across 4 or 5 lanes of traffic and the engine stalls and get run over literally?? after all this is still going on I left my house to go to work and I merged into traffic, then all of a sudden the truck dies, loses all power, the check gauge light appears and the oil pressure drops to nothing. I drove it to work ad it did it again so I got Ford to tow to the dealer where they fixed the problem. They said it was just part of the computer, and it was no big deal. It is a big deal when you are in morning rush hour traffic and your vehicle loses all power. These are all very serious concerns, I am a captain of a fire dept. And safety is my #1 priority, not just for my self but for everyone around me. Hopefully something will get done before the truck stalls at abusy intersection or on the interstate running 70 mph and someone gets hurt or killed.thanks for your time.
Whenever vehicle runs over a bump or a pothole it causes rear end to kick to the right or to the left. Dealer replaced front and rear shock, some improvements were made, but the problem still occurs. Consumer states that the vehicle oversteers when pressure is applied like during a turn, the problem seems to only occur when the left side of the vehicle hits a bump. Engine light illuminated.
Engine control allows RPM to stick above 2200 RPM when depressing clutch to shift. After shifting RPM wont come down until clutch drags it down. This caused wheels to break loose on snow resulting in a bad skid in the mountains. Dealer has had vehicle in 5 times to fix but can replicate problem. Problem is intermittent with about one occurence per day. Occassionally it will repeat 9 or 10 times in a row. Factory engineer promised to get a recording diagnostic device that can be connected and started when problem is present, but has not followed through. Winter is coming and this is a serious safety problem on the icy mountain roads I commute on.
I have problems when I stop sometimes the engine stalls. I also have problems when I am on the open highway with engine running uneven it kind of skips or surges slightly. The engine light comes on and flashes at or around 4800 RPM. I have been in for service and the dealer says Ford is working on all the problems I am having. I do not want to have my Ford edge stall at a busy entersection or on the highway. Hope this helps spur someone on so I can get a faster fix for my problem. Thanks.
