The contact owns a 2014 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while driving at slower speeds, the vehicle hesitated while accelerating with the accelerator pedal depressed, and the vehicle to respond as needed. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact stated the vehicle was consuming an excessive amount of fuel, with an abnormal burning metal odor entering the cabin of the vehicle through the air vents. The contact scanned the vehicle with an OBD-2 scanner and retrieved error codes for the Power Control Module, Steering Column Control Module, and Power Train Control Module. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer to be diagnosed; however, the cause of the failure was unknown because the contact had previously cleared the error codes twice. The contact related the failure to Manufacturer Recall: 24E10; however, the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 108,000.

I have had issues with this car since a few months from me getting it. My rear camera wouldn't work half the time and sometimes turns the images upside down. My heat and cooling system started malfunctioning and the driver's side doesn't blow or temp the same as the passenger side. It has been like that at least 2 of the 4 years I have had this car and have taken it in multiple times and spent thousands of dollars to get it fixed and it is still not fixed and no one can seem to tell me the problem. My car also restarts itself and it won't turn off. A couple of months into getting the car, my car literally shut off while I was on the freeway and I had to pull over. Restart it. I took it in to Ford and they said it was fine. Throughout the last 4 years, my car has restart itself without me autostarting it! It is not a push start car! The engine won't turn off half the time when I take the key out or it turns off then restarts itself and it won't turn off. My car won't lock when it restarts itself. I have also taken my car in multiple times for the electrical system. Reading that there has been multiple complaints about a lot of the issues I am having with my car, not only is it a major safety hazard, but Ford should have done recalls. It is quite ridiculous that they haven't when they are aware of multiple cars having these same issues. I have almost caused several car accidents because of the electrical issues and I don't feel safe driving my vehicle. I shouldn't have to keep spending thousands of dollars and the issues aren't resolved or they keep saying they don't know. There is clearly a lot of faulty issues with the 2014 Ford Edge model and there needs some recalls that need to be issued. My car should not start slowing down automatically on the freeway then shut down. I have had to replace my battery and alternator in less than a year of owning it with only 40,000 miles of it. There have been way too many issues to have had less than 100,000 miles on it.

I had my oil changed last year upon seeing some suspicious activity during this oil change at Walmart, they were dishonest and lied to my face about my skid plate missing bolts underneath. I told them there's is no way my mobile mechanic put all four back on last night after it fell off while driving. So they lied to me. I filled a complaint. My car started driving weird. Then about two weeks later my car while in park, out of no where wouldn't reverse the steering wheel way locked it hard to turn. And sounded like a broken garbage disposal.

I ended up having it towed to Ford dealership in Tustin and I remembered that I had just saw online fright before the oil change that there was recalls three online pee my vin in a search . I dropped the keys off at Ford and put the the recall numbers on the envelope going they could look at it. I was told over the phone what the issue was she is be about 1900.00 to replace. I told him there's no way it is that expensive. The party was about 200.00 and the job should only take about 1-2 hours of even that.I told him I was homeless sleeping out of my car with my daughter 5, at the time what are my options. I told him I had mechanical breakdown coverage he called me back saying the claim for coverage was denied when I had talked to them they were waiting for the dealership to call over with necessary repairs information. So I already knew he was being deceptive she and dishonest. I asked him to email me a list of itemized by repairs that needed to be done to the office so i could see what i could afford.

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!?

14V393000 · Power Train:axle Assembly:axle Shaft

Jul 2, 2014

Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain model year 2012-2014 Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX vehicles manufactured September 2, 2010, to November 30, 2013; 2013-2014 Ford Taurus and Lincoln MKS vehicles manufactured August 25, 2011, to November 30, 2013; and 2013-2014 Ford Flex and Lincoln MKT vehicles manufactured September 12, 2011, to November 30, 2013. In the affected vehicles, the halfshaft retention circlip may not have been properly installed, and as a result, the halfshaft may move outward and disengage from the linkshaft while driving and without prior warning.

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: If the halfshaft and linkshaft become disengaged while driving, power will no longer be transmitted to the wheels, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash. Additionally, if the parking brake is not applied before exiting the vehicle, the vehicle may roll away despite the transmission being placed in 'Park', increasing the risk of injury to exiting occupants and bystanders.

Remedy: Ford will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the vehicles to make sure that the halfshaft is properly retained. If it is not, dealers will replace the linkshaft and also replace the halfshaft if it shows evidence of spline damage, free of charge. The recall began on August 4, 2014. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-800-392-3673. Ford's number for this recall is 14S10.

PE15020 · Wheel Separation

Opened May 20, 2015 · Closed Jan 4, 2016

Status: closed (inferred from source dates) · Wheels:rim

On November 29, 2014, ODI received a complaint reporting the complete separation of an original equipment 22-inch alloy wheel rim mounted on the right front position of a model year 2014 Ford Edge vehicle (VOQ 10661278).The driver indicated that the right-front corner of the vehicle suddenly dropped while driving, causing the vehicle to go off the road to the right and into a field.The right-front wheel rim was found to have broken into two pieces. The owner said that there was no prior warning or wheel related problems with the vehicle. The vehicle had been driven approximately 8,500 miles at the time of the incident.On May 29, 2015 ODI sent an information request to Ford asking for detailed information related to the specific 22 inch alloy wheel used on the Edge as well as any peer vehicles which used the same type of wheel.On July 17, 2015 Ford provided ODI with the requested information. Ford's search showed that the single incident reported to ODI is the only instance of a wheel failure on the subject or peer vehicles.The failed wheel was sent to the National Transportation Service Board (NTSB) materials analysis laboratory for examination. The NTSB determined that the wheel failed because of a severe impact that caused a crack that rapidly propagated around the circumference of the wheel, The rim fracture surface had a predominantly rough appearance consistent with an overstress fracture (rapid fracture)There were no abnormalities or unique features associated with the fracture initiation site.Metallurgical analysis of the rim found that the material was within specification and no anomalies were identified that could have contributed to the failure.See the full NTSB report for more details.Based on the absence of additional failures and the results of the wheel material testing and failure analysis, this investigation is closed. The closing of this investigation does not constitute a finding by NHTSA that a safety-related defect does not exist. The Agency will continue to monitor complaints and other information relating to the alleged defect in the subject vehicles and take further action in the future if warranted.The following VOQ is associated with this investigation: 10661278
