Your rearview camera frequently malfunctions while you're backing up, showing distorted lines and unusual colors that obscure your view. This has been an ongoing issue for years without a fix, and you've come close to hitting people because you couldn't see properly behind your vehicle. The camera may work fine initially, then suddenly become unreliable mid-backup, making it unsafe to reverse. Fixing this will likely involve diagnosing the camera's electrical connection or replacing the camera unit itself.

You purchased a vehicle from a dealer that appears to have an odometer discrepancy — the title shows over 240,000 miles, but the odometer reads approximately 94,000 miles. You have documentation including CarFax reports and DMV confirmation suggesting the odometer may have been tampered with. This is a fraud concern that you've already reported to the FTC and BBB.

Ever since I purchased my Ford Edge the backup camera flashes off and on while I'm trying to back up and reverse. It does it every single time I try to reverse it either does not show me backing up or will show me backing up in the camera for a second and then flashes off back to the radio or flashes back to nothing. I see that they are recalls regarding the backup camera on newer vehicles. My vehicle is a 2016 Ford Edge and has been messing up for years. Why does the recall not involve the older models?

The oil pan is made of metal and plastic and the plastic warps over time and causes major oil leaks requiring frequent expensive replacement. There are no after market parts, only the plastic. Major oil leaks are hazardous.

Rattling noise under hood with vibration that occurs when starting vehicle. Check engine light on. Dealership states "this is a know Coolant intrusion issue in 2.0L Ecoboost engines and the whole engine needs to be replaced." Was told I could still drive it even though "it will drive rough." Articles regarding this issue state further engine damage can occur if driven and in severe cases fire. This is a safety issue caused by faulty manufacturing and should be resolved.

Took vehicle in for update of SYNC system which worked when I dropped it off. Mechanic called said the system wasn't holding charge. Next day they called said vehicle was ready for pickup. Picked up got in and my SYNC system wouldn't turn on. That includes radio,Bluetooth, navigation, backup camera,USB port anything that system controls doesn't work. No mechanic checks for the APIM to see if it is faulty. Now place is saying I have to pay to fix. Extended warranty doesn't cover says it's upgrade not update, even though Fordpass and SYNC system said there was an update for it. I tried to update system and wouldn't let me, both ways I tried to update. Fordpass tried something then said I'd have to take to certified dealer which I did.if nobody checks on the part when it's inspected, how does one know if bad part or not. Plus my 2016 vehicle when looking in SYNC system said last update was in 2003? Picture is showing SYNC system was working also have 5-7 people who can say was working til I brought to place for update. Can provide video and or pictures of my dark screen if needed. Date of incident is when I brought it in for update. Got vehicle back on the 17th the first time, partner brought in again for them to try something that didn't work to reset system.

APIM Module. We inquired with Ford about upgrading our Sync system to include navigation. A parts specialist at Livermore Ford indicated the upgrade could be made by adding a new USB hub and upgrading the software. We then noticed the last software update was marked completed in 2003 (on a 2016 model year vehicle). We confirmed the Wifi was connected and tried to initiate an auto software update, but there was no option to do so. We followed the directions per the Ford website for a wifi or manual update, to no avail. The third Ford recommendation is to take it to a dealer. On Jan 16, 2023, I took the vehicle to Sunnyvale Ford. The radio and screen were functioning without any issues. I showed the associate the software page and where it said 2003 was the last update, I showed him there was no "update now" button offered and the memory stick I had attempted to upgrade with via the usb hub.I asked them to update the software and indicated there was clearly a defect in that the software version date and the fact it never updated over WiFi as it is supposed to. The associate later called and told me they performed a software update and as a result they crashed the entire APIM Module.After much discussion the sales associate and the sales manager indicated there was nothing they would do and returned my vehicle which was brought to them with an operational radio and screen (which also operates bluetooth and the back up camera), no longer working.Clearly there was an existing defect in the system and granted it had not been discovered in the early years of ownership or warranty, but none the less; they faulted the system.I attempted software updates two ways and my screen and radio still worked when I took it to Sunnyvale Ford. Obviously, I do not know their exact action taken but a mistake was made or a Ford part/system. Ford states my only recourse is to purchase a $600 APIM which is on indefinite backorder.Therefore, I am seeking recourse via other avenues

Engine malfunction due to engine coolant leaking in to #2 cylinder. Check engine warning light came on intermittently. Car didn’t pass New York State Emissions test. Car can’t be re-registered in NYS without passing Emissions test. Had car towed to Ford Service Center for diagnosis. Ford diagnosis - car engine and assembly needs to be replaced with re-designed long block engine for an estimated repair cost of $6637 plus tax. Ford is not covering engine defect that resulted in engine coolant leaking into #2 cylinder causing misfire and engine check warning light to come on. Due to this design fault, Ford should issue a recall on our 2016 Ford Edge as the car is unsafe to drive. Ford should cover the cost of the engine repair, parts and labor, due to this design fault.

i have had my back windshield implode twice now on my Ford Edge in the last 8 months. Nothing hits the window. First time I was backing out of the driveway and had my back windshield wiper on and it just imploded. Had to go thru the hassle of getting the spoiler removed and the glass company out to fix it. Fine for 8 months until last night. Came home from errands, unloaded car, closed the hatch. Came back out about an hour later and the windshield was imploded again. There is something wrong for this to happen twice in 8 months. I found a recall for the back wiper motor but the recall is for Canada only. There should be a recall in the US also. I dont have the funds to keep replacing the windshield every 8 months. Especially when it isnt a simple fix with the glass company coming out to fix it. It has to be taken to a dealership first to get the spoiler removed then the glass company will fix it. Please get this fixed.

My pano/vista roof cracked randomly. Unsure of how long it was cracked. In researching, it appears this is a common problem with Ford Edge’s and several recalls surrounding my year of vehicle have been enforced upon Ford. From what I have read it appears this is a like situation of some sort of “stress” that cause the roof to fracture. It is now a safety hazard that is expensive to fix.

I was driving from Phoenix Arizona to Tucson Arizona, about 1: 45 min drive, October 23rd, 2021, and all of the sudden the check engine lights turns on, and its getting hot, and the engine shuts down, I lose all power to the Steering , and brakes, now, i am going about 45 in a 75 lane, but people going 80 plus. and we are about 20 miles from home. WE finally able to pull over and check it out. I added water and let it cool down for about 30 mins, We took the frontage road driving around 30-35 miles per hour.. the light was on still but not over heating, till we got to the house when we saw the temperature going up, we shut it down,,, The next day i drove to a Mechanic close to the house, they ran the tests, and was advise that the engine had water in the motor, due to the engine being defective, they did tell us, that they have seen these a lot, in the edge and Escape, coming to their shop, took it to another mechanic (Ford Certified) and told us the same thing, no Good and you need to replace the engine at a cost of $6000- up to $8000.00, it only has 94k on the engine. they are seeing this across the USA. Its very dangerous, because when going 75 plus and your calls stalls out and slows down fast and cars and trucks had to go around us, some fish tailed almost out of control, we could have caused a MAJOR Pile up had not the car started for us to get to the side . God was with us, please look into this, We have the car parked, because we cant afford a new enginge. and still making payments on a CAR that done run thanks for your time rda

My sunroof literally exploded while I was sitting in a parking lot. Nothing hit the car, I didn't have a collision or fender bender. Literally sitting in the lot I heard a loud 'explosion' and the crack just started at the back of the sunroof and worked its way to the front near my head. Totally random and unexpected and happened for no reason. I read that now the ceiling/roof is compromised and in a rollover I am not protected from the glass falling in on myself or my children.

MY CAR HAD BEEN PARKED FOR THREE DAYS WITHOUT MOVING OR OTHER USE. I WALKED PAST THE BACK AND SAW THAT THE BOTTOM OF THE REAR WINDSHIELD HAD AN ALLIGATOR EDGE (PIECES ON THE GROUND), IT LOOKED AS IF SOMEONE HAD TO TRIED TO PUNCH *OUT* ON THE RIGHT SIDE, AND THE WHOLE WINDSHIELD WAS SHATTERED WHEN YOU LOOKED CLOSELY AT THE GLASS. THERE WERE NO HOLES IN THE WINDSHIELD AND NO SIGN OF IMPACT.FROM THE OUTSIDE OF THE CAR. WE LIVE IN ON AN ACRE AND HAVE SECURITY CAMERAS SO VERIFIED THERE WAS NO VANDALISM ACTED ON THE CAR NOR DID ANY ACT OF NATURE COME INTO CONTACT WITH MY CAR. IN LOOKING, THERE ARE SEVERAL PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET WITH THE SAME EXPERIENCE, WITH THE SAME EXACT GLASS BURST PATTERNS INCLUDING THE POP OUT SPOT ON THE RIGHT SIDE. WHEN I DID MOVE THE CARE TO ALLOW THE GLASS REPAIR PERSON ACCESS, CLOSING THE DOOR CAUSED THE WINDSHIELD TO FALL IN STARTING AT THE PUNCH OUT SPOT.

WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH NEAR MY HOME, I HEARD A LOUD NOISE ON THE ROOF OF THE VEHICLE. I PULLED OVER TO SEE IF SOMETHING STRUCK THE ROOF. NOTHING ON THE GROUND AT ALL. WHEN I GOT HOME, I GOT ON A LADDER TO INSPECT THE ROOF. THE REAR GLASS PANEL WAS CRACKED ALL OVER. MY INSURER STATED IT WAS STRUCK BY A FOREIGN OBJECT. I WENT ONLINE TO CARGURU AND FOUND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE ROOF GLASS (PANORAMIC ROOF). THEY ALL CRACKED WITHOUT BEING STRUCK BY ANY FOREIGN OBJECT. THERE IS ALSO A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST FORD FOR NOT ISSUING A RECALL. THE PANELS ARE MADE OF LAMINATED GLASS, WHICH, ACCORDING TO FORD, MAKES THE GLASS MUCH MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO BREAK. FORD NOW ONLY MAKES TEMPERED GLASS ROOF PANELS, WHICH ARE STRONGER. THIS, TO ME, IS AN ADMISSION OF KNOWLEDGE OF THE PROBLEM WITHOUT ISSUING A RECALL, AND COULD HAVE CAUSED SERIOUS INJURY. MY AUTO INSURANCE HAS THE CLAIM BUT IS GIVING ME A HARD TIME DUE TO THE DEFECTIVE MATERIAL.
