    While driving the car 40 miles it completely died and the steering wheel locked up. I took the car in for diagnostic test and it came back nothing.

I paid for this repair and see this exact same thing has happened. Several month later the brakes felt like…

    Why driving 40 mph the car engine light flashed on oil pressure low. The engine shut off and the steering locked up making it in possible to get the car off the road. This is extremely dangerous. I had just driven on 4 hwys to get home 50 minutes. What if this happens why someone is on the highway.

    I bought this car in july of last year, it is now october. My heat worked fine this past winter but since trying to use it this year since it has started getting colder, all i get is cold air. I have even had the thermostat replaced which made it work for a day but had to take my car back in 2 days after the repair. My mechanic said it is the computer which i can't find anything about in my warranty guide. I know i…

    Door latch system malfunction. This triggers a door adjar signal in the vehicle. This ultimately keeps the interior lights on and prohibits you from locking the doors of the vehicle

    The "door ajar" light stays on showing drivers side door open when it is not. Drains the battery, it causes the alarm to go off randomly and it is not safe as i am not able to lock the doors. Today will be the 7th time i am taking it to a certified ford dealer for repair.

    Engine control module-pcm. After 3 years of replacing/repairing items on my car, they now say that the pcm is the cause. I have replaced multiple sensors, catalytic converter, drive shaft, turbo, cooling system, and the list goes on. Had the pcm been diagnosed the first time my check engine light came on and replaced the sensor, i could of saved a lot of time. Every time i would go in, the diagnostic test would show…

    The door ajar light is on and will not turn off even when all doors are properly closed. This leaves the dome lights on the entire time, wasting battery. It also causes warning bells and lights to come on while driving, causing a distraction.

    Door ajar warning regarding driver front door is constantly on and will not go off. In addition, every time i take my foot off the brake, a shift to park notification appears on my dashboard and it makes a beeping sound. This is a huge concern and major problem. This should be a recall issue. Needs to be fixed immediately.

    I was making a left hand turn in the middle of a large intersection when i lost acceleration and i had extremely limited power about 2 to 3 miles per hour. I could just barely "slowly limp" off to a safe place out of the traffic. My vehicle was towed to mechanic and most likely will be the etb electronic throttle body. Ford said my vin number was not listed on their recall list or their "customer satisfaction…

    Everytime i get in and out of my car the driver's door won't lock. This leaves me in a vulnerable and unsafe position when driving or parking at work or the store. I could be carjacked if my door is still unlocked and i could be robbed of my possessions while in the store or at work since my doors won't lock. Would you want your loved ones/relatives found in this position/situation? How would you feel?

    The advance trac warning light comes on if the car has been idling for more than 5 minutes. The traction control light comes on and say my traction control is off. The car only has 38,000 miles. I have heard that others have had this issue with the ford edge. Once i start moving the warning light will eventually go away after a few minutes.

    Faulty electronic sensor caused door ajar light to come on which caused shift to park light to come on and caused interior dome lights to come on and not dim while in gear. Prevented windows from being raised or lowered during allotted time once car was turned off. Vehicle would not stay locked.

    While driving there was an sudden unexpected loss of power and had to immediately pull over on the edge of the road causing a dangerous situation. There was no response from the throttle. After the car was turned off for about 1 minute then restarted, it was acting normal and was able to merge back into the oncoming traffic also in a dangerous situation. *tr
