Ford Edge

"Backup camera worked great for the first year. First he alignment lines stopped showing up. Then the picture was upside down or the screen would go completely black. It would throw an error code to go see your dealer. Sometimes the camera stays on for several minutes when we put the Ford Edge in drive. I realize this is a convenience kind of item, but once you become dependent on it, it doesn't really seem so. We have children and the camera gave us a sense of security. Of course we always look behind the vehicle before getting in. We have to because of the way we park in our garage. Also, I park in a covered garage at work. I used it everyday when backing into a parking place, so I didn't back into the cement wall. No recalls on this. Very upsetting FORD! Next compact SUV will either be an Audi or a BMW."

"Backup camera goes blank a lot. Too expensive to fix"

"Back up camera failed around a year ago. Does works intermittently, sometimes full screen, sometimes upside down picture, and often the screen is covered in lines. Due to relocation issues, have not been able to get the car in for repair, although when I mentioned it to the service department, they did indicate this could be a costly repair. Hopefully, I can have the car serviced this summer (2020)."

"Occasionally camera goes blank"

"Camera is upside down or blank"

"It started 2 weeks ago. It will work for a few seconds and then gives me an error message. I haven't gotten it fixed yet."

"It works OK when you first start the vehicle, yet after that, it does not work until the vehicle has been turned off for awhile."

"Backup camera is wonkers. 90% of the time the image appears upside down on the screen. 5% it is correct and 5% it is black. Took to dealer, said i need a whole new camera $800 plus install. My trusted auto mechanic said only dealer can do this work. It stopped working 5 years in, and no longer under warranty. I refuse to pay Ford $1000. So I tell people, if a vehicle is coming at us upside down, then it's still coming at us. Super pissed off that i spent $46,000 on a new fully loaded car and my backup camera isn't working."

"blank"

"I WOULD GLADLY TRADE THE GAP SENSOR FOR A FRONT PARKING SENSOR! FRONT COLISION ALARM WORKS ONLY FOR TURNING TRAFFIC!"

"camera stopped working completely, said to see dealer on screen. Dealer replaced entire camera - $800 - but I believe problem was with SYNC, which has other software issues as evidenced by screen messages and disconnections"

"When passing a large semi (flatbed or van) with the collision avoidance system active, the system will apply the brakes and warning chimes will sound as if a head-on collision is immanent. This occurs semi-frequently while cruise control is on"

"displays a small square in the middle of the camera blocking the view"

"Backup camera sometimes just displays an error message or blank screen. Dealer says it is a faulty circuit and the backup camera system requires replacing at a cost of $800. Seriously? The car has 84k miles on it, and there's a faulty circuit in the backup camera system? Pathetic. My other car is a 2009 Lexus (seriously!) with 165k miles and I wish I had bought another one just like it instead of this newer Ford Edge with problem after problem."

"difficulty in programming"

"The touch screen freezes up and the controls in the car can not be operated. The touch screen also cracked and Ford would not honor the warrenty"

"the screen repeatedly freezes up and is not usable"

"The screen would simply freeze up. It was a software problem. Needed to restart car to maybe get it to work right"

"Sometimes the drivers display would just stay on for an extended period of time or overnight in some cases. The radio would also stay on even when the car was off and locked"

"Routines freezes - have to stop car, turn off engine and restart car. A huge pain"

"The screen sometimes freezes just before it goes off."

"Goes blank for up to 3 minutes when starting the car"

"When the vehicle was first started the screen came on then went blank. We drove it and stopped the vehicle and it then came on. This only happened once."

"When putting the vehicle in Reverse the display/GPS screen goes black, then displays a button that reads 'contact dealership'. Sometimes the back up screen works like it should, but most of the time it's upside down. The alignment lines have disappeared. Vehicle out of warranty. Blogs say it's the camera and dealership can sometimes fix it."

"The left side of the display screen would go blank intermittently. Functionally, everything still worked. The dealership identified the problem and fixed it with no complications"

"every now andd then the baackup camera just does not engage"

"When interior of car got hot - in hot weather - instrument panel would go out"

"a frequent occurrence, esp in the middle of a hands free cell phone call"

"The screen goes blank intermittently. It stays off for about 3-6 minutes and then comes back on. This happens maybe 1-2 times a week. It does not effect the general operation of the car."

"it no longer syncs to the phone"

"Every time the car is started it takes close to an hour to index my iPod"

"When shutting car off shift lever was put in park and I could not shut engine off. A switch in the shift lever had to be replaced and now works perfectly."

"Unreliable. sometimes takes 5 minutes to input an address and loses GPS often. No longer using"

"must stop to get the passenger to set the GPS"

"Will not allow you to manually input the necessary address/location information. Cursor keeps jumping around or the prompt screen will not show the numbers necessary to input address information. Very lousy system purchased by Ford from Apple."

"Either memory chip intermittent lay fails or map system fails to read"

"Problem with electronics. Fixed by dealer with upgrade"

"DIRECTIONS ARE CONFUSING. NOT AS GOOD AS GARMIN. DIFFICULT TO PUT IN NEW DESTINATION OR CHANGE EXISTING"

"It's incredibly frustrating! It takes a ridiculous amount of time to go through all of the steps to enter a destination, by voice command or manually, and far too often fails to find it after completing all the steps. If I ever had an emergency and needed directions quickly, I would be in trouble. The only time I use it is if I'm traveling and just pull up the map for reference. I use my phone instead. In fact, as I'm thinking about it, I would probably not buy the vehicle again if it were the only navigation system available."

"Ford Edge was not compatible;e with the iPhone 7 plus and Ford dealer said they would not fix it under my extended warranty. I will not deal with liars that tell you one thing when you're buying and something different when it is time to fix it. I traded the vehicle in with only 8000 miles and bought a Toyota. I don't think Ford will be seeing me again. You can fool me once"

"Phone appeared connected on phone via sync but the car does not acknowledge phone, ask if I'd like to add device"

"Caller cannot hear me on incoming call but can hear me on outgoing calls"

"Phone would read text messages over the speakers. It's stopped doing that."

"Would not sync/connect with our phopnes"

"After failed software update, system loses connection with phone often when car is restarted"

"the radio display randomly and continually switches to the 'settings' mode for no apparent reason while it is in use"

"Radio interface works (screen & stations) but no volume control or sound. Because of no sound unable to hear navigation hints or phone messages."

"sometimes does not shut off when door is opened"

"no sound for 15 to 20 minutes after starting car, sound then starts working"

"Touch screen wasn't always reliable."

"GPS in outdaed. Roads are either named incorredtly or it cannot find destinations at all."

"No sound coming from speakers even though radio was on"

"If the voice control doesn't understand me it says way too much before I can get back to the main menu (very driver distracting), especially when I have made that same phone call many times"

"Voice recognition is awful"

"Mysteriously stopped offering Voice Command prompts. Started responding to Voice Commands. Don't know if this problem is associated with the Bluetooth problem"

"Microphone would not recognize voice commands. Calling party could not hear. Dealer said no problem found after updating software. No problem last 2 years"

"brake pads replacement"

"This car has over 105,000 miles on it. Maybe two weeks ago, I noticed the brakes making a funny noise. My husband took them apart to discover they were pretty well worn down. We realized they had never been replaced since we purchased the car. My husband was able to replace the brakes himself. He replaced the rotors and the pads. I may have mistakenly said the calipers earlier in the survey, but just the rotors and the pads needed to be replaced. We replaced the brakes on all four tires. It took my husband about three hours."

"Parking brake squeal when cold - rear brake rotors had to be turned down twice, then squeal finally stopped"

"I had to replace all brakes and rotors for about $1000. This was not covered by warranty"

"Needed a complete brake job$1000, after 29000miles. Rust had caused pulsating"

"have to get brake service regularly to prevent uneven wear"

"all four brake pads needed replacement"

"excessive early wear"

"all four rotors needed replacement, they rusted out"

"At 42000 miles, all four rotors need replaced due to excessive wear. The pads obviously need replaced but are not excessively worn. The rear calipers need replaced due to hanging up"

"Rotor replacement"

"No brake issues after purchase from Ford dealer. In time I had front and then rear breaks worked on. Since break jobs I have constant loud squeaking. Ford Dealer and Rep from Ford Motor Co tells me this is normal and not a problem. They have no idea how much of a problem this when you have a wife who constantly complains about squeaking breaks. I will never buy a product from Ford or deal with one of their dealers."

"The pads and rotors have been replaced but they have a tendency to make a 'grunting' noise when the brakes are applied. It's a persistent problem."

"Car needed new rear brakes. It was normal wear and tear. First new brakes in 62,900 miles."

"interior lights would not go off until we disconnected the sensor for the door ajar alarm"

"THE SNSOR THAT IS SUPPOSED TO TURN OFF THE LIGHT WHEN THE DOOR IS CLOSED QUIT WORKING AND THE INTERIOR LIGHT STAYS ON FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES WHILE it is being driven. Ford did issue a recall on this problem but I don't know if my son has taken it in to get it fixed yet. He is the primary driver of this vehicle."

"The only problem with the interior lights illuminating when not expected was caused by the faulty door ajar switches."

"Interior overhead lights (over dash and back seat area) would not go out, so I had to take the bulbs out. One thing that wasn't brought up is my window problem. None of the power windows will go up or down unless I open the drivers door with the engine on ... go figure! Also a problem with power tail gate and false messages that a door(s) are ajar when they are not."

"Some of the interior lights do not work. Will take it in for warranty work"

I had a small child open a rear door before I came to a stop. The car was just out of warranty and Ford refused to fix the problem, I had to pay to get it fixed. It caused a dangerous condition to occur and Ford refuses to issue a recall. there is a utube video that shows a fix for the problem but your doors won't lock. You have to replace t"

"Driver door closed warning light and buzzard doesn't engage when door shuts. This cause the light to display and the door alarm to sound. Ford knows it is an issue with numerous complaint, but refuses to cover this simple problem. Dealership stated it would cost $900+. Bad customer service for a known defect."
