2014 Ford Edge

Window Master Switch and door wire harness on drivers door does not operate. Can not open any windows on the vehicle. Rear windows will not open from rear door switches also. In case of accident windows can not be opened for exit purposes. Can not open windows if stopped by a police officer, whereas, they may feel threatened by occupant in vehicle. Is this a safety feature to be able to open windows. Ford dealer performed a vehicle check on May 20, 2021 and indicated the door harness may need replacement and the window master switch. Ford indicated the vehicle is 7 years old and the part is likely not made by Ford anymore. Ford has no way to correct the issue. There were no warning lights, messages, regarding the stoppage on May 20, 2021

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED WITH THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR CLOSED. DURING THE FAILURE, THE DOOR COULD NOT BE LOCKED AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTS REMAINED ILLUMINATED. ON ONE OCCASION, THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR LOCK HAD FROZEN AND THE DOOR COULD NOT BE PROPERLY SECURED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER MEDVED FORD LOCATED AT 1404 S WILCOX ST CASTLE ROCK, CO 80104 WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR LOCKING ASSEMBLY WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

REAR BACKUP CAMERA CAN SHOW DISTORTED IMAGES OR SUDDENLY GO DARK WHEN ENGINE IS RUNNING AND PUT INTO REVERSE WHEN BACKING UP. CAMERA IMAGE IS SPORADIC. IT WILL SOMETIMES FLICKER AND GO OUT OR NOT ENGAGE AT ALL SHOWING EITHER A BLACK OR BLUE SCREEN AND SAYING "REAR CAMERA NOT AVAILABLE". HAPPENS W/O WARNING. WARMER WEATHER EFFECTS IT MORE OFTEN THAN IN COLD OR WHEN FOOT IS APPLIED TO THE BRAKE. I PURCHASED CAR BRAND NEW FROM FORD DEALERSHIP AND THIS STARTED HAPPENING AFTER WARRANTY WAS UP. TOOK TO FORD DEALERSHIP TO DIAGNOSE COST ESTIMATE OVER $800 TO FIX. TOOK TO LOCAL REPAIR SHOP AND WAS TOLD IT WAS ELECTRICAL AND NEEDED A CODE THAT THEY COULDN'T ACCESS. THERE'S A RECALL FOR 2020 FORD EDGE VEHICLES ON THIS MATTER AS THIS SHOULD BE GRANDFATHERED IN IN THE RECALL. IT DOES THE SAME EXACT THING! I HAVE VIDEO THAT SHOWS MUCH MORE HOW THIS HAPPENS.

POWER TRANSFER UNIT LEAKING AFTER 80,000 MILES, HAD THE VEHICLE SERVICED TO REPLACE PTU AND NEW PTU IS ALSO LEAKING. OTHER DRIVING ISSUES HAVE OCCURRED SINCE INCLUDING LOSING POWER STEER CAPABILITY ON WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS ON UNEVEN ROADS, UNABLE TO ACCURATELY RECREATE THE ISSUE AS IT IS VERY INTERMITTENT. ALL CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS, WRENCH, AND ADVANCETRAC DASHBOARD WARNINGS FLASH WHEN ELECTRICAL AND PROPULSION SYSTEMS MALFUNCTION.

DOOR AJAR ALERT COMES ON AFTER CLOSING DRIVER DOOR CAUSING INTERIOR DOME LIGHT TO STAY ON AND EXTERNAL LOCKING MECHANISM DOES NOT WORK SUCH AS LOCK CODE BUTTONS AND HAND SENSOR CAUSING THE VEHICLE NOT TO LOCK. THIS HAPPENS WHEN EXITING THE VEHICLE. CONCERN FIR BATTERY DRAIN, UNSECURED VEHICLE AND EXTRA LIGHTING WHEN DRIVING. HAVE HAD AN INTERMITTENT ISSUE WITH BACK HATCH DOOR STATING SAME THING. NOTED THIS IS AY KNOWN PROBLEM WITH PREVIOUS YEAR FORD EDGE PRODUCTS AND MANY COMMENTS OUT IN THE INTERNET BY OTHER FORD EDGE OWNERS. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING OVER THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS

MY CAR HAS COMPLETELY SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY!! A WRENCH ICON LIGHTS UP ON THE DASH BOARD. I CAN BARELY COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BEFORE CAR COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP. I WAS SOOO AFRAID OF BEING KILLED! THE MECHANIC CHECKED AND SAYS THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR. IT HAS HAPPENED 4 MORE TIMES. THE CAR STARTS UP AFTER I CAN PUT IT IN PARK AND DRIVES LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED UNTIL THE NEXT INCIDENT. WHO WILL HAVE TO DIE BEFORE FORD FINDS THE PROBLEM?

'WHEN THIS CONDITION OCCURS, THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP (MIL) OR WRENCH LIGHT WILL ILLUMINATE AND THE VEHICLE MAY ENTER A LIMITED LIMP HOME MODE,' FEDERAL OFFICIALS SAID. 'IN THIS MODE, ENGINE POWER AND VEHICLE SPEED ARE REDUCED, WHILE FULL FUNCTION OF THE POWER STEERING, POWER BRAKING, LIGHTING, AND CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEMS ARE MAINTAINED.

OUR FORD EDGE WILL INTERMITTENTLY LOOSE POWER AND DROPS TO A ROUGH IDLE, ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. THIS CAN HAPPEN AT HWY SPEEDS OR ACCELERATING FROM A STOP. THE ERROR CODE GIVEN IS P2111 TAC SYSTEM-ACTUATOR STUCK OPEN. I CAN TURN THE SWITCH OFF THEN RESTART IT AND IT MIGHT RUN OKAY FOR AWHILE OR NOT. THROTTLE BODY IS CLEAN AND ALL CONNECTORS SEEM TO LOOK GOOD, NO CORROSION.
