Under hard acceleration or wide open throttle the inside cabin of the vehicle is over come by an exhaust like smell. the vehicle has done this since it was new, thinking it was from the engine breaking in i never thought twice about it. now after more than six months of having the vehicle and more than 8,000 miles, this is more than new car break in smell. the smell occurs 100% of the time under hard acceleration or wide open throttle, with or without the ac on or in ac recycle mode. from the forums that i have read, the owners of ford edge's and ford explorer's with the 3.5l v6 are experiencing the exact same issue that i am. the smell is overwhelming to all passengers that ride in the vehicle. the main concern is that the smell is dangerous to breath in and second that it's very annoying to smell all the time. *tr
I was driving my company vehicle when suddenly the motor lost any way to increase the speed and little by little the speed went down. i was able to move towards the right line. the vehicle was just shaking, i decided to turn off the motor and turn it on again and the problem disappear. it has happened twice already in my edge. the truck is already at the dealer but according to a call i got on saturday they do not know that the car do has. they have made some tests but so far no failure has appeared. *tr
Noted leak of fluid from rear of vehicle of my 2013 ford edge. taken to local ford garage, was told it was rear differential vent, so this part was replaced. i was told this problem was a prior recall. continued to have leak from rear of vehicle after repair was done, so vehicle was brought in again, they were advised by ford that the prior fix was the repair, and that they should next check the fluid level, which my local garage had also done, ford then advised them to underfill the fluid to below the differential vent level as the correction. my question is this, is it safe to do this or will this damage my vehicle or cause a safety issue if my vehicle does not have adequate fluid for the parts to work properly. *tr
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 then gave a "low engine oil pressure" error message. i put the car in park, waited a minute, and restarted with no further issue. i would have had a big problem if the car stalled out in the left turn or if i couldn't overpower the steering components and went off the road. *tr
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 transmission or accelerator? but it is dangerous. *tr
