CarComplaints.com Notes: There was plenty of hope that Ford would fix their “door ajar” warning light issue for the 2014 model year. This widespread problem has caused the previous 3 model years to stay on top of defect trend lists.

So far, the 2014 Edge doesn't share the poor reputation of prior model years.

Edge

  • 52,500 miles
While driving at approx 35-40 mph, car suddenly lost power, the yellow wrench light lit up and I was unable to accelerate nor maintain speed. I barely managed to get to side of road due to heavy traffic; the engine was running very rough and wouldn't smooth out. I turned the engine off, waited a minute before restarting, the wrench light went off and engine ran normally for the next few days. However, within the week, the same thing happened again.

Edge

  • 58,000 miles
Ford Edge with 58,000 miles was being driven by wife. While traveling at 50-55 miles per hour, the vehicle showed a wrench icon and decelerated immediatly to 5mph in the middle of rush hour traffic in the left lane. The loss of power put the car into limp mode where my wife had to try to get to the side of the road. The ignition was turned off, then back on and the car drove fine afterwards. The sudden loss of propulsion is very scary espically right after dropping your 1 year old off at daycare who could have been in the car. We have researched this and found many other vehicles with this defect possibly throttle body. After turning the car off, all codes were erased so the only way to get the car checked for the issue would be to straight from Ford "drive until the error happens again".

Every time I accelerate hard to reach highway speeds, the exhaust leaks into the cabin causing breathing problems and drowsiness. This is a common issue and the Ford dealership does not seem to want to cover the costs of this safety issue.

It will not run over 5 miles per hour, it cranks ups and idles. I have researched this and the guy at the Ford dealership said it may be the throttle body.

Car lost all driving function while in motion on a city street. It basically died. The shifter always shows an error of "not in park" when the car is in fact in park.

Edge

  • 34,600 miles
While driving 55 mph on the highway, accelerator suddenly stopped working, wrench light came on, and engine went into limp home mode. It was very unsafe trying to cross lanes to get off of highway as car slowed very rapidly. This is the same action associated with the well documented throttle body problem Ford has had with other models. Once off the road, motor was shut off and restarted which made the problem go away but unfortunately erased any error codes that may have been generated.

Edge

  • 19,900 miles
Purchased new 2014 Edge in August 2014. Incident occurred on October 18, 2015 at 19,900 miles. On a clear, sunny, Sunday drove from 9:00 am northwest of austin, Texas about 250 miles with several stops along the way to 3:00 pm. Entering galveston, Texas. No problems of any kind along the way. Entering town, driving straight and level along road in clear weather, dry smooth road about 30 mph. Engine suddenly quit - dead. Coasted into (fortunate) parking lot. Noted bright red oil pressure light came on while coasting - other lights also but could not read them due to stressful situation. Checked oil level in parking lot - full and normal. Tried starting engine - started right up with no problem. Started and stopped engine several times - all with no problem. Cautiously continued driving in galveston and returned back to dealership near home. No further problems with engine. Dealership service could find no problem and had no real idea what caused engine to suddenly die while driving. Problem has not repeated - yet.

Edge

  • 35,600 miles
While driving, the speed was around 50mps the vehicle made a notice on the dash that said "low oil pressure". it then at the same moment slowed down from 50 to 0 within about 50 feet and completely lost power steering almost causing a fatal crash with a child in the car. The vehicle is back at the dealership where it was purchased at and has been evaluated for malfunctions. Although the dealership service has not said anything about what happen or what the problem was and I feel extremely uncomfortable even going somewhere with my family knowing this has happen once. I need to have this problem rectified before a fatal crash takes me and my family out. What can we do about getting a recall on this?
