I'm getting warning lights on the dash that indicated that ABS, traction control, cruise control and collision mitigation are inoperable. The dealership service dept. had the vehicle for over 2 weeks trying to diagnose the problem in conjunction with Ford engineers. they finally determined the the issue was a bad ABS module. They then informed me that the needed parts were not available and it might take 2weeks, 2months or longer to get. This condition has existed since the day the car was delivered. As of now, the car has about 600 miles on…

Owner report 11482432 · 2022-09-01 (September 1, 2022)
after car had about 350 miles on it the front suspension became very noise and rattled. as it continued I can feel very bouncy steering and less than desirable control on multiple bumps. I took it to dealer and they said it had a leaky strut and ordered the part. They recommended only driving around town. It is getting worse as I wait over a week for the part to arrive. I really think both struts should be replaced

Owner report 11498658 · 2022-12-23 (December 23, 2022)
The day after purchasing my new 2022 Ford Edge, I was driving from the grocery store when I noticed a clacking sound. I stopped the car and looked around and under the car. It appeared that a metal band that held up a tank was dragging on the ground. I drove half a mile to my home and called my car dealer. He instructed me to drive the car to the Ford service department, about 5 miles away. I am presently waiting to receive a report from the service department.I am concerned that this is an example of a quality control failure and that it wa…

Owner report 11722872 · 2026-03-09 (March 9, 2026)
This car I bought a year ago from the dealership has stalled out numerous times. It has been to the dealership multiple times to be fixed. The battery has been replaced along with the fuel pump twice. The car has been to the dealership several times. They can not seem to figure out the problem. I am not sure what to do. But this is becoming a hazard on the road.
