2013 Ford EDGE problems and owner complaints

PURCHASED 2013 FORD EDGE SPORT ON JULY 14TH. I'VE HAD POSSESSION OF THE CAR FOR THREE WEEKS AS OF THIS COMPLAINT. THE CAR REQUIRED SERVICE EVERY SINGLE WEEK SINCE I'VE HAD THE CAR. THE LAST INCIDENT WAS ON AUGUST 8TH. I STARTED THE CAR, AND MULTIPLE WARNING LIGHTS APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD.

THIS OCCURRED AT A SUPERMARKET PARKING LOT LESS THAN THREE BLOCKS AWA…

ONE WEEK AFTER PURCHASING THE NEW FORD EDGE I PARKED ON A HILL. APPROXIMATELY 1 HOUR AFTER EATING LUNCH, I LEFT A RESTAURANT WITH MY FAMILY. I PRESSED THE BRAKE BEFORE TURNING THE KEY AND THE BRAKES WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. I DROVE THE CAR HOME NOT KNOWING IF THE BRAKES WOULD GO OUT COMPLETELY. I HAD NO SIGNIFICANT PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES AS I DROVE HOME. I CALLED FORD AND TOOK THE CAR IN FOR A CHECKUP. FORD STATED THAT THE FORD EDGE IS ENGINEERED TO ALLOW FOR THIS. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL INCIDENTS WITH THE BAKES GOING TO FLOOR WHILE STARTING…

INTERNAL ELECTRICAL FAILURE IN THE LEFT FRONT DOOR LATCH WITH INTEGRAL SWITCH THAT SENDS A FALSE DOOR AJAR SIGNAL TO THE DASHBOARD INSTRUMENTS AND AUDIBLE ALARM SYSTEM. BEGINS AS AN INTERMITTENT ISSUE THEN IN A FEW DAYS BECOMES CONSTANT. ANNOYING AT THE LEAST. DISTRACTING AT THE WORST, ESPECIALLY FOR LESS EXPERIENCED DRIVERS. MY REPAIR WAS OUT OF ANY WARRANTY DUE TO MILEAGE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE CITY STREETS AND WITHOUT ANY WARNING, THE POWER STEERING KICKED OUT. I DIDN'T REALIZE THIS AND WAS ALREADY COMMITTED TO MAKING A LEFT TURN. I HAD TO USE ALL MY STRENGTH TO MAKE THE TURN AND STAY ON THE ROAD. AFTER CLEARING THE INTERSECTION I NOTICED THE CAR WAS NOT ACCELERATING, INSTEAD IT WAS DECELERATING. THE CAR CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP ON THE MAIN ROAD. I QUICKLY PUT ON MY BLINKERS. THE CAR THEN GAVE A "LOW ENGINE OIL PRESSURE" ERROR MESSAGE. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK, WAITED A MINUTE, AND RESTARTED WITH NO FURTHER IS…

THE VEHICLE HESITATES AT THE TIME OF ACCELERATION AND THEN WILL SURGE. THE SURGING OCCURS AT LO SPEEDS AND IS ,UNFORTUNATELY, INTERMITTENT. A REAL PROBLEM IN TIGHT PARKING LOTS/PARKING STRUCTURES. ALMOST HIT A FAMILY IN A PARKING LOT WITH A SURGE OF SPEED. THE HESITATIONS CAN OCCUR AT LO OR HIGH SPEEDS WHEN YOU ACCELERATE. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY SAY THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. DON'T KNOW IF IT IS TRANSMISSION OR ACCELERATOR? BUT IT IS DANGEROUS. *TR

HAVE NOTED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS THE ODOR OF FUEL/GASOLINE IN CLOSED CAB OF 2013 FORD EDGE AFTER STARTING VEHICLE. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN EVERY TIME I START VEHICLE, BUT APPROX 10% OF STARTS IT DOES.

IN VIEW OF ALL THE CARS BEING RECALLED FOR FAILURE OF WHAT WOULD APPEAR TO BE RELATIVELY SIMPLE DEVICES, IT OCCURS TO ME THAT I SHOULD REPORT THIS INCIDENT, IN CASE THERE HAVE BEEN OTHER REPORTS OF THE SAME PROBLEM.
