Broken shifter cable. while parking my 2013 ford edge in my garage (house sits on a very big hill), my vehicle started rolling away from me. attempting to get back in wasn't possible. my vehicle rolled down a very steep drive way and could have killed anyone in its way! after looking online i found that ford recalled 504,000 escape and fusion vehicles. i did not find where ford edge was mentioned. this needs to be made aware to the people who own ford edge! my life could have been destroyed forever if someone was killed or severely hurt! after talking to the mechanic who fixed my vehicle, he told me this incident wasn't my fault, that the shift cable was broke and the car started rolling on its own right at his shop. it was not possible to put the car in the park position. my vehicle door and fender were destroyed upon leaving my garage because i opened the door to try and get back in the vehicle. i had to jump out of the way or i would have been crushed between the door and my house.
Recently had my vehicle serviced for an ongoing door lock issue where ford extended warranty coverage. during the most recent service on 7 jan 2020, the service advisor also indicated and documented that the ptu (power transfer unit) is leaking from a vent and that indicates it needs to be replaced at approx $1,800.00. the vehicle as noted in their records and my odometer, had only 39,100 miles at this time. per research on the web it appears this is a well known issue with the ford edge that ford is aware of and discontinued using that particular ptu. when questioned, the ford advisor at holman ford indicated he was not aware of any such issues nor that a different drive part was now being used by ford. ford is not offering any form of compensation or credit or any recompense at this time.
This car is horrible. multiple safety issues! first, my axle needs to be redone. clicking and popping with all turns. secondly, the electronics are haywire, with the ac blowing hot on one side and cold on the other and not starting with brand new batteries. third, the brake system... had the booster go out. ford replaced and upon the drive back, it failed even worse locking my engine, smoke fromthe brakes being locked up. i had to tow back on my expense and rent a car for days. the replaced the booster, but i still have even worsening brake issues. ford told me i need a new abs and master cylinder. it only did this after the 2 failed boosters... now if i hit a bump or gravel while pressing the brakes, my brakes go out! i mean they fail! luckily i haven't hit anyone yet. it's off and on but happens with no warning. the pedal goes all the way to the floor and there's the constant sound of hissing and air. i have contacted ford multiple times which is horrible and taken to the dealership where i leave with no problems until the next unexpected blow out on ...

Driving on county road, my vehicle suddenly stopped. wrench symbol lit up on dash. the gas pedal had no effect but engine remained running.towed to a goodyear service station: they said they could not find a problem and the sensors showed no indication of a problem. on the way home it did the same thing. turning the car off and removing the key, car starts back up. took car to ford dealer. they too said they could not duplicate the problem. and that when i turn the engine off it clears the computer. they returned the car but charged $140. same problem occurred two days later. called ford from side of the road. they said their transmission guy was off until tuesday (this was friday afternoon). drove about 8 miles and it happened again. it seems like the transmission disengages. i have read that many ford edge's have a problem with the etb but as far as i know there has been no recall.
My wife's 2013 ford edge looses power while driving. the accelerator stops working and the car stops functioning. this has happened many times. we have called whites ford in urbana ohio to check on recall. there are no recalls for this and the vehicle is very unsafe to drive. the edge has 67k miles on it. has never been involved in any accident. ford should address these issues. we only drive the vehicle when necessary due to us not knowing when it will just loose power.
My car will all of a sudden stop excels rating at high speeds. the rpms increase as the speeds decreases. the ford dealerships can not figure it out as it has to be doing it. it can happen 30 minutes into driving and then maybe 1.5 hours is, there is no consistency. it has happens for the past year. and now tracing for the past summer it is very anxious driving this car. i am not sure my car was cleared really with all the recalls.
Car was making a loud humming noise while in motion.
I bought a used 2013 ford edge: sport trim, 3.7l awd with 84,000 miles on june 8th. inspection was fine. i drove it home 1400 miles the next 2 days, and never drove it hard at all. it rained the whole way. driving felt a bit odd at times, though i attributed that to my unfamiliarity with the new vehicle. upon arriving home i had the oil changed and was informed that there was a major transmission leak. upon my re-inspection, it was dripping at every stop, sometimes leaving 2-5" diameter puddles. i took it to the ford dealership where they diagnosed that transmission was fine, but the power transfer unit was leaking and the entire unit needed replacement. cost of repair, $1800. upon researching, the unit which claims to have a "lifetime fluid" of gear-oil has a serious design flaw in which the unit is not properly cooled, and the "lifetime fluid" breaks down due to heat, causing the unit to fail. this serious design flaw could have caused my trip through the rain to have resulted in a catastrophic failure that would have endangered my safety, the vehicle's performance in the rain, ...
I found spots of fluid on my garage floor and in my driveway that was leaking from my car. ford dealer informed me this fluid is leaking from transmission ptu.
2013 edge with 53,000 miles - 3-4 months out of the power train warranty. experienced intermittent noises when vehicle is cold (i.e. grinding noise, engine running irregular, and faint humming at engine/transmission). this only happened approximately 3-4 times total with many days in between while the vehicle is moving. very slight at first and progressed and became little more pronounced. when i would stop, the engine was calm and still. i would wonder if it was even still running. it took the dealership over a week to diagnose because it was intermittent and the mechanic had to continue to drive it before it happened again. finally, formally diagnosed 5/22/19 as a failed ptu. no fluid leaks and all seals intact. very little price break on labor and/or parts. the dealership refers you to corporate ford for any part and/or warranty complaints. since there was no core charge, i did request that the failed part be returned after replacement. without intervention to force ford to acknowledge that there is problem, this part will continue to be produced and installed on vehicles. lastly, ...
When the car is running and in park there is an error on the dash service advancetrac. also on several occasions the engine increases rpm and the car has actually rolled several feet when this happens.
Car would periodically shut down and i would be unable to accelerate. would have to pull to side of road, shut engine off and restart car to be able to drive. became worse and worse, researched online and discovered many other people were having same issues. finally took car to mechanic, had to have throttle body replaced which cost $475.18 i do not understand why this is not a recall issue with ford when so many people are experiencing this issue.
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 ford edge. the contact stated that there was a constant failure with the transmission gear slipping out of drive. the contact was uncertain if the failure may progress to the other gears rendering the risk of a potential catastrophic crash. the problem was getting worse to the point that there was a reduction in speed when needing to pick up speed due to a delay in the gears changing over. the vehicle was inspected by three different repair facility independent certified mechanics for a technical diagnosis as transmission specialists. the dealer borgman ford (3150 28th st sw, grandville, mi 49418, (616) 534-7651) was notified of the failure. the manufacturer indicated that the vehicle was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 14v393000 (power train) for this year model vehicle. the dealer was not authorized to diagnose the vehicle yet until further guidance was provided by the manufacturer. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the failure mileage was not available.
