CRIME PROTECTION VS. OCCUPANT SAFETY FOR FORD DOOR LOCKING SYSTEM. FOR CRIME PROTECTION FORD HAS SET, STARING WITH THE 2019 MODEL, THAT THE DOORS CANNOT BE OPENED FROM THE OUTSIDE WHEN THE MOTOR IS RUNNING IN PARKING POSITION. PREVIOUS MODELS DID NOT HAVE THE FEATURE OR THE SYSTEM COULD BE PROGRAMMED SO THAT THE DOORS WERE OPEN AS AN OCCUPANT SAFETY FEATURE. I MAKE THIS STATEMENT AS A LIFELONG SAFETY ENGINEER FIRST AT MERCEDES BENZ AND LATER AT BENDIX IN BREAKS, FOLLOWED BY 25 YEARS AT TRW IN SEAT BELTS, FIRST IN GERMANY AND LATER IN USA. I.E. I WAS HEAVILY INVOLVED WITH NHTSA FOR SEAT BELT CERTIFICATIONS AND IN THE FORD SEAT BELT BUCKLE DEVELOPMENT, NOW STANDARD IN ALL NORTH AMERICAN CARS. I SEE THIS STEP TO LOCK THE DOORS AS A STEP AGAINST OCCUPANT SAFETY AND PROTECTION. A DRIVER, WHICH WAS ABLE TO STOP THE CAR I.E. HAVING A HEART ATTACK, CANNOT BE REACHED FROM THE OUTSIDE BY HELPERS UNTIL POLICE OR FIRE DEPARTMENT COME. THIS MIGHT BE TOO LATE IN A REMOTE AREA. ALSO PARKING IN THE GARAGE AND NEEDING TO MANUALLY UNLOCK THE VEHICLE FOR UNLOADING IS A NUISANCE. AFTER TRYING TO HAVE THE SETTING CHANGED BY A FORD DEALER AND CONTACTING FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE ENDED 5 MONTHS LATER IN A STATEMENT FROM CUSTOMER CONTACT: YOU SHOULD HAVE ORDERED THIS OPTION. -THERE IS NOT SUCH AN OPTION AVAILABLE. SO MY REQUEST IS AFTER ALL NOT UNREASONABLE, BUT THE DOOR LOCK SYSTEM CANNOT BE CHANGED AT A LATER POINT IN TIME. IN CONCLUSION: LOCKING THE DOORS AT ANY SPEED IS A NECESSITY BUT NOT WHEN A CAR IS IN PARK POSITION, EVEN WITH RUNNING ENGINE. LOCKING FOR CRIME PROTECTION IS A MANUAL OPTION IF OCCUPANTS FEEL UNSAFE. *LN*JB

The lug nuts are swollen up and the lug wrench that came with the vehicle. Had the tires rotated at a Firestone Service center and the service Tech said he couldn't get the 22mm socket to fit. I search this problem and found there is a problem with the two piece lug nuts swelling up.

9/9/2022

When at the dealer for an oil change and tire rotation I was informed the dealer could not rotate tires because the lugnuts were bad and needed replacing. I stated our 2011 Ford Edge had the same issue. The manager said that ford has an issue with the lugnuts for several years. It cost me $172.80 for the new lugnuts AND I had to make another appointment because they did' nt have any in stock.

ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL HAS A MIND OF ITS OWN. SOMETIMES IT KEEPS YOU BETWEEN THE ROAD LINES. SOMETIMES IT WILL LET YOU GO OFF THE ROAD. SOMETIMES IT WILL TRY TO PULL THE STEERING WHEEL OUT OF YOUR HANDS FOR NO REASON. SOMETIMES THE PRE-COLLISION ALARM WILL GO OFF FOR NO REASON. SOMETIMES IT WILL STOP FOR A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF YOU. SOMETIMES IT WILL NOT. HOW CAN YOU FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE?

10/21/2020

Experienced harsh upshift and downshift causing vehicle to come to rigid stop and eventually loosing the ability to reverse. This is a serious safety concern to not only myself, but others on the road as my vehicle would not accelerate when coming to a complete stop at a stop sign or a red light, thus putting myself and others at risk of an accident. There were no warning lamps or messages that illuminated either on the dash or on the FordPass application to inform me of any issues that would require maintenance. My vehicle has been brought to a mechanic shop as I was told that the transmission needed to be replaced.

LOST STEERING WHILE PARALLEL PARKING ON A BUSY STREET WITH NUMEROUS WARNING LIGHTS APPEARING ON DASH, INCLUDING STEERING FAULT. THIS OCCURRED AT 9000 MILES AFTER ONLY 6 MONTHS OF DRIVING THIS BRAND-NEW CAR. CAR HAD TO BE TOWED THROUGH MY AAA MEMBERSHIP TO SAYBROOK FORD OTHERWISE THE FREE FORD CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE WOULD HAVE TOWED IT TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP & I EXPECTED TO BE TREATED BETTER AT THE DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT IT. THE CAR WAS IN THE SHOP FOR A WEEK WHILE THEY TRIED TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM WHICH THE MECHANIC SAID OCCURRED IN A TIGHT TURNING RADIUS. THE GUIDANCE THE DEALER RECEIVED FROM FORD WAS TO REPLACE THE STEERING HARNESS. THE CAR IS NOW DRIVEABLE BUT I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE AND DON'T TRUST THE CAR. THE REGIONAL SALES MANAGER WE CONTACTED REFUSED TO LET US OUT OF THE LEASE-TO-BUY OPTION ON ADVISE OF COUNSEL. IF I EXPERIENCE ANY SIMILAR ISSUES I PLAN TO INVOKE THE LEMON LAW UNDER THE STATE OF CT SINCE STEERING IS A CORE SAFETY COMPONENT.THIS PROBLEM WAS ULTIMATELY ELECTRICAL IN NATURE SIMILAR TO OTHER FORD MODEL YEARS THAT HAVE ALREADY GONE THROUGH RECALL SO I AM AFRAID THIS IS A CONTINUATION OF A LONG-STANDING PROBLEM FOR SOME FORD CARS. THIS CAR IS A TANK WITHOUT STEERING, SO IT IS VERY DANGEROUS. BUYER BEWARE!

ASSISTED DRIVING LANE CENTERING. CAR GOES OVER THE DOUBLE OR SINGLE LINE ON THE LEFT OR DRIVERS SIDE BEFORE CORRECTING.THIS COULD LEAD TO SIDESWIPING CAR IN NEXT LANE OR ONCOMING.

THIS HAPPENS 100% OF THE TIME DRIVING IN STOP/GO TRAFFIC, SLOW ACCELERATING (NOT PUTTING PEDAL TO THE FLOOR), AND DRIVING CITY STREETS. THICK ICE/CONDENSATION BUILDS UP ON THE INTERIOR SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD WHEN PARKED OUTSIDE IN A COLD CLIMATE. MUST BE DRIED WITH A TOWEL (TOWEL WILL BE SOAKED FROM THE AMOUNT OF WATER BUILD-UP) BEFORE CAR CAN BE DRIVEN. DEFROST DOES NOT SOLVE THE ISSUE.

While driving on the highway I experienced an apparent loss of power. It happened on an uphill grade and persisted for the duration of my trip – approximately 25 miles. The problem seemed to only occur on an uphill or flat road. The problem was not evident going downhill. Going home (approximately 32 miles) a few hours later the problem persisted. For about a week nothing happened, and then the problem reoccurred on the highway while coming back from dinner. Since then it has sporadically reappeared getting more frequent in the past few weeks. The symptoms are a complete loss of power, especially on an uphill grade. Lifting my foot off of the accelerator will temporarily bring power back, but trying to accelerate will cause the car to lose power again. If I continue to press the accelerator, the car will eventually come to a complete stop. Now the problem seems to happen at almost any speed and any road condition, uphill, flat, and occasionally downhill. During one occurrence I noticed something. When the problem happened I could see the brake light reflected on the rear window. So in addition to the loss of power, the brakes were activated without me applying the brakes. In discussions with the service manager at the dealership, we both believe the problem may be related in some way to the adaptive cruise control. It would make sense that if the adaptive cruise were activated not only would the brakes be applied, but the system would also shut down the engine. The car has been to the dealership four times for diagnosis. The last time they had it for more than a week. Neither they nor I can make the problem occur on demand.

5/1/2022

This incident is related to the rear view camera and the sync/radio interface in my vehicle. The recent recall for ford explorers in relation to the rear cameras are also present in the ford edge. In addition to these issues, when I am driving my rear view camera will turn on while driving. This has occurred on the freeway and has impacted how my car reacts to collision assists, lane keeping/departure functions. I have taken my car to ford and they have neglected the issue and said there is nothing they can do. I have left voicemails to get my car looked at again and reported to ford but seeing the recall headlines today about ford suvs I wanted to report that this is also happening yo ford edges and has caused issues for me. I believe this to be a glitch in the sync software. This has been an ongoing issue but has most recently occurred to me yesterday. I have video of this behavior as well but included a photo - you can see the car is in drive and the rear view camera is active.
