I was driving my ford edge on route 303 in phoenix at about 60 miles per hour when the car suddenly started shaking and losing power. It allowed me to drive a very short distance until i was able to stop the car, in a turn lane with a tractor trailer on my tail ...very disconcerting! A yellow wrench light was showing along with some notice about my traction being off, i believe. After sitting a few minutes i was…

The suv gave me a blinking engine light. Decoding to a misfire problem. The first time i had the car looked at they replaced the coil packs. About 10,000 miles later i got the same misfire problem. Some of the coil packs were melted. I had the suv towed to a garage and they said the engine control module is defective. They replaced the control module for $1500.00. Yikes. Dealer told me that ford motor company knows…

Passenger door latch door closed sensor failed. Requires 30+ closures of the door for the sensor to dim cabin lights and keep doors lockes. When driving down the road if door sensor does not recognize it is closed, will unlock all car doors making it possible for a backseat child to open doors while in motion.

Door ajar warning light appears on the dash even when the door is closed. There is no way to clear the alert/alarm and it becomes very hazardous when driving while it is still dark and the dome lights are on signaling the door is open. This warning will come on at any time- while stationary in my driveway, while driving, etc. There is no specific time it happens.

The "door ajar" indicator continues to be an ongoing problem. I have had it looked at numerous times at the dealer, and they've only "cleaned" the sensor, and let me know it's not a recall item. This is a definite safety concern in that the interior light stays on constantly, and make it very unsafe to drive or have good visibility when backing up. Numerous times i have been in a parking lot at night, the interior…

Bracke light, and abs light comes on. We think its the control module and internal electronic failure. Back up camera has not worked in a very long time. I am told its very expensive. Another lady who was at the same mechanic had the same problem. Im disturbed and not happy with eclectronic failure. I dont think its normal. Can you do anything to resolve this problem?

The on screen door ajar warning shows door open when non exists. This keeps the dome lights from shutting off and can interfear with unlocking or opening other doors with the remote. Sometimes the dome light dome light stays on leaving my battery dead and me stranded.
