• Recall 2014280 [Canada]: Powertrain
  On certain vehicles, the right-side halfshaft retention clip may not have been fully engaged, and could allow the halfshaft to separate. If this were to occur while the vehicle is being driven, it could result in a loss of motive power. If this were to occur while the vehicle is parked on an incline without the parking brake applied, it could result in unintended vehicle movement. Both situations could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: dealers will inspect halfshafts for full retention and affect repairs as necessary.

• Door ajar warning light always on investigation # PE16012

  The office of defects investigation (odi) opened this investigation on september 28, 2016 based on allegations that the "door ajar" light located on the instrument cluster stays on all of the time even when all doors are closed and fully latched on 2011-2013 model year ford edge vehicles.When the light is illuminated continuously, vehicle occupants cannot be certain if any of the doors are properly latched.Reported safety consequences as a result of this issue include doors opening while driving (because doors were initially not latched properly), doors cannot be locked while driving, and the interior dome lights staying on continuously. Ford data received from the information request letter corresponding to this investigation indicates the failures were caused by contamination of the electrical contacts on the switch located within each door latch that tells the vehicle if the door is open or closed.All four doors contain the same latch design and switch.According to ford, the body control module (bcm) monitors the position of the switch and continuously samples it to detect a state of change.After a closed door state is detected, a continuous wetting current designed to keep the electrical contacts clean is sent from the bcm to the switches as long as the bcm is active.Beginning with the 2011 model year edge vehicles, a change in bcm strategy resulted in a reduction of the wetting current sent out to clean the switch contacts by more than 75%.Over time, this low level of current is not sufficient to keep the switch contacts clean and contamination build up causes them to fail as described above.During the course of this investigation, odi has identified a total of 1,983 complaints related to the door ajar light.Of these complaints, 14 indicated that a door opened while driving.Twelve of the 14 door opening events were situations where an occupant of the vehicle (often a child) opened a passenger door because the doors were not locked.The remaining two complaints involved a door opening on its own because the driver was unaware that the door was unlatched.There were no accidents but one complainant reported that a shoulder injury was caused by the driver having to repeatedly slam the door in an effort to get the door ajar light to turn off.After reviewing all available data, an unreasonable risk to motor vehicle safety has not been identified.The door latches themselves continue to function properly, remaining securely latched until acted upon by a driver or passenger.Child safety locks on the rear doors continue to function properly and can be used to prevent the rear doors from opening via the inside door handles.Vehicle crashworthiness is not affected by the lock condition of the doors and all active safety systems continue to function normally even if the vehicle bcm believes one or more doors is open.In addition, no accidents or accident related injuries have been reported.A safety-related defect trend has not been identified at this time and further use of agency resources does not appear to be warranted.Accordingly, the investigation is closed.The closing of this investigation does not constitute a finding by nhtsa that a safety-related defect does not exist.The agency will monitor the issue and reserves the right to take future action if warranted by the circumstances.Odi numbers for the reports cited above are shown in the attached document.

While driving and applying brakes, it began to make a hissing noise then brake pedal began to go hard and vehicle turned off

The force necessary to depress the brake pedal has increased and at times the car still rolls while the brake pedal is depressed.

It is believed by driver that booster hose has failed. This became apparent when driving through new orleans on i-10 westbound. When i came off interstate exit to a street near where i was going, i had to almost stand on brake pedal to stop and keep from rearending car in front of me. I checked my brake fluid and it was full with no leaks. There are no leaks on inside under brake pedal. This vehicle is a 2013 ford edge sel awd assembled ay oakville, ontario, canada. There was no dash lights that came on to indicate that there is a malfunction. My vehicle may also have an electrical light problem to which i am not aware of.

Hissing sound when the brake pedal was depressed and then the stiffness in the pedal itself. There was little to extremely little braking power and was very difficult to slow and stop the vehicle. Took the car to a local repair shop and determined that it was a faulty brake booster. They felt that it should be taken to the dealer, which i did. I did find out that this is a very common problem with the same make and model fords. A customer satisfaction program 13n02 was launched but not for my vin. This is a very dangerous situation feel that more investigation should be done on this particular product.

Brakes hiss are spongy and then get solid and hard to stop vehicle. Vehicle was made in oakville plant where 2013 ford edge’s have been identified to have known issues with brake booster (ford program 13n02) although they say my ford does not qualify even with only 60k miles.

This is not an unknown problem to nhtsa or ford for covered vehicles. Brake booster failed, causing serious problems with the ability to stop the vehicle. For other 2013 ford edge and mercury mkx vehicles, this repair is covered (nhtsa 10054925), while some of these vehicles are not covered for some reason, including this vin. The brake booster failure on this vehicle presents no less of a safety issue than that of the covered vehicles, which received a ford 10 year extended warranty on the brake booster. No warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms.

The purpose of this letter is to request a recall on 2013 ford edge. The customer satisfaction program 13n02 released in january of 2014 identifies that “it is possible for the brake booster on your vehicle to develop a small tear in the diaphragm.” this is what has occurred in my vehicle under 100,000 miles. The recall/program covers vehicles made prior to march 28, 2013 and my vehicle was made in approximately june. As a result my request for relief has to this point been denied. I am very disappointed as it is an identical issue to the recall but because my car is approximately 90 days younger than others identified, i am out $940.30 dollars for the repair. The repair is completed now. The vehicle was not stopping responsively and put myself and others at risk. My auto mechanic confirmed the issue and identified it as the same described in the recall noted above. There were no warning lamps or other symptoms to make us aware of the issue. Ford denies to cover my repair as it is a vehicle made shortly after the bulletin identifies.

This is a vigilant preventative report. There aren't any warning lamps, failures or messages yet and i sure am glad. But the symptoms were noticed on may 21, 2021 after i returned home from getting my emissions done. I noticed both front tires were streaming wet with liquid and at first i thought i had run over something. Then today may 30, i needed to run to the grocery store but before i left i had my son look underneath the hood because i thought maybe a fluid or freon may have caused the scene but soon found out that there is no way for any fluids to penetrate to the tires because there is a solid panel separating the mechanisms underneath the hood from the wheels and tire. That made me take a closer look at the inside of the wheel covers/caps and low and behold you can see because of the dark color of the fluid in the wells of the wheels; brake fluid has been spewing now, both times as far as i can tell. I don't know how long it takes for the fluid reservoir to become empty, but i sure wouldn't want to be driving my vehicle when that happens. So this is in my opinion a "life or death" safety hazard and would really be appreciative for an immediate response! I need your suggestion as soon as you're able to, what should be my next step. I am a senior citizen and i purchased this 2013 vehicle as my future retirement vehicle in 2014 and retired in 2017. I believed it would be a nice, sturdy well-built and reliable vehicle for years to come. I've owned many a vehicle and have never had any major brake issues during all those years, just regular maintenance on brakes and other expected low maintenance. Never anything of this magnitude to put my life in danger. Wow! An 8 year old vehicle with just under 73,000 miles on the odometer driven less that 50 miles per month, i wouldn't have ever thought this could happen. Hopefully, there is a safety recall for this model as well. Still researching....

Backup camera started having issues (screen image upside down, screen flashing) 3 years ago. Dealer stated this is common complaint and since the car was not under warranty the estimated repair could be upwards to $2,000. I asked if the issue was common and pointed out there was a recall on new ford cars and trucks due to backup camera issues, and why this issue shouldn't be covered as it is has the same problem that the recall on newer vehicle has? There was no response other than asking if i wanted the camera fixed, or not.
