I parked the vehicle in the driveway on the 11/23/2014 , l had to back up a little bit then parked. When l was going to the garbage bin l noticed oil on the ground, which was never there. I touched the ground with my finger and smelt it, realized that it was fresh motor oil. This is a 2013 vehicle. There is no other vehicle that parks at that spot, just to reiterate the fact that the oil came from my vehicle. *tr

Vehicle started back up after a while but had the car towed in anyway to dealer. The dealer said they couldn't duplicate the problem and gave us the car back.

My wife was driving the 2013 edge when she stop in a left turn lane. She found the road was clear and stepped on the gas but the car did not go forward. Instead a warning message popped out saying the engine level is too low. Then she turned off the engine and restarted the car. Same thing happened and the car just didn't accelerate. At last she managed to coast the car to the roadside and called me for help. I…

At least five separate times, while driving at high rates of speed, my 2013 ford edge will begin to hesitate and shudder. The check engine light begins to flash and then the vehicle suddenly loses power. I can barely keep the vehicle going at about 20 miles an hour. I can generally coast to the side of the road or freeway. I have to turn off the vehicle and let it sit for several minutes before i can turn it back on…

I was driving on the city streets and without any warning, the power steering kicked out. I didn't realize this and was already committed to making a left turn. I had to use all my strength to make the turn and stay on the road. After clearing the intersection i noticed the car was not accelerating, instead it was decelerating. The car came to a complete stop on the main road. I quickly put on my blinkers. The car…

As we stopped on the first traffic light just after the freeway exit, we smelled something unusual but proceeded to the next traffic light and there the engine started to raise its rpm then when he pumped on the gas the car wont go forward and started to lower its rpm to almost…

The 1st time my engine shut off was after making a right turn into a neighborhood driving slowly looking for an address. The second time was while pulling into my office parking lot; again at a slow speed and the engine shut off. Both instances made steering impossible. I took my edge back to the dealer for both occurrences, however they claim only once!! I was told the 1st time that they could find nothing wrong…

The vehicle hesitates at the time of acceleration and then will surge. The surging occurs at lo speeds and is ,unfortunately, intermittent. A real problem in tight parking lots/parking structures. Almost hit a family in a parking lot with a surge of speed. The hesitations can occur at lo or high speeds when you accelerate. I have taken it in several times and they say there is nothing wrong. Don't know if it is…
