When parked and locked, the rear hatch will unlock when driver gone, or at night. Rear hatch door will not close by any switch. A danger to personal safety and theft.

When i am driving, my volume for the radio will increase very quickly while have my hands on the steering wheel. I have been driving or parked and it will accelerate as high as it can go. This can be startling, because i am not expecting the sound to get extremely loud, quickly. I have gone into the settings and turned the setting to off when it asks about the volume increasing when we accelerate the gas. However,…

Vehicle has a motion sensor under the rear area that enables the hatch to open and close when you slide you foot under the bumper if you have the key fob on you. When you begin loading packages if your foot moves near the sensor the hatch can close down suddenly and hit you in the head or back if you are turning to empty a cart. There seems to be no way for the user to shut off the motion sensor. A google search…

The rear lights across the rear of the car, get filled with water.. This started approx 2 years ago with some condensation, each time i was told this was normal and it would dry after some time. Recently it has gotten a lot worse, and the water fills up over the bulbs and doesn't dry. Pictures were taken by the dealer and submitted to both warranty co's. Only to be rejected.. I feel this is a safety issue

I bought a 2016 edge titanium last year. The wrench engine light came on this week. When i took the edge to the dealer, the first thing the dealership did was look into the engine compartment and explained that my wires and sensors were chewed by rabbits or mice. I learned the electrical wiring system is soy based. I asked if the dealer could replace the wires and sensors with non-soy products and was told ford does…

Please allow me to qualify this documentation by stating that we have not yet brought this auto back to the dealer at this time. We purchased the car less than a year ago. The car has fewer than 3,000 miles. In the past week we are seeing the adaptive steering warning light come on after starting and as soon as putting the car into gear. This has occurred 4 times in the past week. We have not noticed any difference…

My vehicle was accelerating on a straight section of road during rush hour (had at least a half tank of gas). I was pushing normally on the gas pedal to keep moving and suddenly, without warning, the car decelerated and lost power as if i ran out of gas. It came to a complete stop. No limp mode, i had to coast to a place to pull over. Power was on and all components were working except there was no gas when i pushed…

When coming to a stop at an intersection the proximity sensors go off inadvertently frequently when there is no object there. We have taken it to ford service several times only to be told everything checks out okay. This happens on a daily basis and is very annoying and makes us not trust the sensors since they sense objects that are not visible. This usually happens when slowing down for a stop sign at an…
