2018 Ford Edge

Lift gate motorized lift cylinder failed to hold the lift gate open while accessing the compartment. Lift gate reversed and you could not stop it by pushing up on the lift gate. Made an appointment at the Ford dealership and they checked the issue out and they confirmed the problem was with the lift cylinder No warning lamps or messages appeared when this happens. Lift gate would not reverse while coming down when up hand pressure was being applied. Serious issue for trapping a person under the lift gate.

2018 Ford Edge Sport AWD, 7600 miles +/-. While driving home my wife experienced an Adaptive Steering fault with the steering wheel misaligned about 20 Deg clockwise (pictures available). Upon arrival I confirmed the fault which cleared by turning the steering wheel back and forth several times. The next morning the fault reappeared. Also the driver's seat belt fails to latch properly, takes several attempts and the driver's door is difficult to open from inside. Took car into the dealership for inspections, replacing the steering wheel assembly and the seat belt assembly, realigned driver’s door. Vehicle has been repaired.

1. The lift gate has come down on top of me several times. I've had bruising on my legs and a headache because of the gate hitting me in the head. 2. There is an anti-freeze odor inside the car intermittently. The dealer tested for leaks but it was inconclusive. I'm taking it back to be tested again this week. 3. On two occasions, the navigation system has given verbal directions different than what it shows on the screen. The first time I thought I heard wrong. But the second time it happened I knew it wasn't my hearing. I have an appointment with the dealer to address this.

MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. UPON STARTING MY CAR, IT’S BASA ROUGH IDLE FOR A FEW SECONDS BEFORE GOING TO NORMAL. CODE WAS RAN AN IT WAS DETERMINED TO BE A CYLINDER 2 MISFIRE. MY HEAT HAD QUIT WORKING. I LOOKED UNDER THE HOOD AND THE COOLANT TANK WAS EARLY EMPTY. I REFILLED IT. A FEW DAYS LATER, THE LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING SAYING OVER TEMPERATURE. CHECKED AGAIN AND COOLANT TANK WAS ALMOST EMPTY AGAIN. HAD IT LOOKED AT AND THERE WAS NO SIGN OF AN EXTERNAL LEAK. UPON SEARCHING, I CAME ACROSS NEWSON LAW IN NASHVILLE WHO HAS A POTENTIAL LAW SUIT AGAINST FORD BECAUSE OF SO MANY COMPLAINTS FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE IN 2016-2018 EDGE WITH 1.5 OR 2.0 ECOBOOST. MINE IS A 2.0. ALL OF THE REVIEWS I HAVE READ ON THIS ISSUE ARE THE EXACT SAME ISSUES HAPPENING. MOST OF WHICH ARE HAPPENING AFTER THE WARRANTY HAS RAN OUT. THIS IS THE CASE FOR ME.

MY 2018 FORD EDGE HAD THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATE RECENTLY ONE MORNING WHEN I STARTED THE ENGINE. THE ENGINE HAD A ROUGH IDLE/CHUGGING AND WHITE SMOKE FROM THE EXHAUST THAT ALSO OCCURRED WHEN THE ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. I SHUT THE ENGINE DOWN, AND RESTARTED THE ENGINE TO SEE IF THE ISSUE WOULD REPLICATE, WHICH IT DID, BUT NOT AS EXTREME. I HAD TAKEN MY VEHICLE INTO THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP ABOUT SIX PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT FOR A FAULTY FUEL VALVE, AND THE FORD EDGE ACTED THE SAME WAY, EXCEPT THAT THE VEHICLE ENGINE WOULD ALSO CHUG AFTER REFUELING, WHICH IT DIDN'T DO WITH THIS CURRENT ISSUE. WITH THIS MOST RECENT CASE, I TOOK THE FORD EDGE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSIS AT 10AM SEVERAL DAYS LATER BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T HAVE ANY IMMEDIATE AVAILABILITY. THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME AT 430PM THAT AFTERNOON THEY COULDN'T REPLICATE THE ISSUE, BUT WANTED TO KEEP THE VEHICLE OVERNIGHT FOR FURTHER TESTING. AT 130PM THE FOLLOWING AFTERNOON, I WAS TOLD THE ENGINE WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE COOLANT HAD LEAKED INTO THE ENGINE. APPARENTLY, FORD HAS ISSUED A TSB ABOUT THIS ISSUE FOR FORD EDGES FROM 2015-2018, AND OTHER MODELS, BUT THEY HAVEN'T ISSUED A RECALL. I WAS TOLD THE DEALERSHIP HAD SUBMITTED A CLAIM TO THE CORPORATE OFFICE FOR A FULL ENGINE REPLACEMENT, AND SINCE THIS WAS A KNOWN ISSUE, THEY DIDN'T SEE ANY ISSUES WITH IT BEING APPROVED. I HAVE BEEN TOLD IT WILL BE SOME TIME, NO GUARANTEES, AS TO WHEN I WILL HAVE MY FORD EDGE RETURNED SINCE THERE ARE OTHER FORD EDGE'S WITH THIS ISSUE.

I HAVE A CRACKED GLASS IN MY PANORAMIC ROOF ON MY 2018 FORD EDGE SPORT. LOCAL FORD DEALER WAS NO HELP IN GETTING FIXED AND MY EXTENDED WARRANTY WILL NOT FIX GLASS. INSURANCE COMPANY IS INVOLVED BUT THERE ARE NO SHOPS WANTING TO FIX GLASS CRACKING. THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT ALONG WITH THE EXPLODING GLASS SUNROOFS ON CERTAIN YEARS OF EDGES. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. MY CAR WAS SITTING WITH NOTHING THAT COULD HAVE HIT IT. HAPPENED WITH TEMPERATURES CHANGING.
