2012 Ford Edge — Known Issues & Recalls

Your car is skidding when you brake, and this has happened multiple times over the past few days. Your mechanic diagnosed the issue as a failure in the ABS sensor module and electrohydraulic system, both of which need to be replaced. The repair will involve replacing the faulty ABS module and the electrohydraulic braking system components.

While driving on the highway, your brake pedal suddenly went to the floor with significantly reduced braking power when another vehicle cut in front of you. Your brake system had no warning before this happened, creating a dangerous situation. The Ford dealer found that your hydraulic control unit and master cylinder have internal leaks in valves and seals that need replacement, and your oil sending unit is also leaking and needs replacement.

Your brake pedal may suddenly sink to the floor with no braking response, forcing you to pump the pedal multiple times before brakes engage again. After your dealer replaced the ABS system for $2,694, the problem returned about two years later with the same symptom, and now your brakes feel softer than normal. This dangerous condition requires a complete brake system inspection, including the ABS module, master cylinder, and brake lines, to identify why brake pressure is being lost.

Your ABS (anti-lock braking) system has failed completely, and you're unable to brake properly even though you've replaced the rest of the brake system. You've noticed that other 2012 Ford Edges have a recall for this same ABS issue, but your vehicle wasn't included in it. The repair will likely involve diagnosing and replacing the faulty ABS module or related components.

Your brake pedal occasionally sinks all the way to the floor, though this happens very rarely and intermittently. The brake booster has been replaced multiple times under warranty, but the problem persists. Ford suspects the ABS hydraulic control unit may be causing the brake failure, though the ABS warning light hasn't come on yet. Performing a few hard stops at certain speeds temporarily restores normal braking.

Your front brake pads are wearing out much faster than normal. You've had to replace them three times since 50,000 miles, and now at 90,000 miles you need them replaced again—roughly every 15,000 miles. This excessive wear is unusual and suggests something may be causing the brakes to wear prematurely. A mechanic should inspect your brake system to find the underlying cause, which could involve the brake calipers, rotors, or brake pad quality.

Your vehicle's Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) module may be failing, a problem you've experienced across multiple Ford vehicles with around 80,000 miles. Ford has not issued a recall for this issue, and the ABS module appears to be unavailable for repair at dealerships. This could affect your braking performance during emergency situations. Fixing this typically requires replacing the ABS module, though availability may be limited.

Your brake booster failed in July 2019, causing a hissing noise and loss of brake pressure, which you had repaired at a cost of $733.39. You discovered that Ford had issued a Customer Satisfaction Program (13N02) covering brake booster issues for 2010-2014 Edge vehicles, but Ford never contacted you about it despite the program being applicable to your VIN. You believe Ford should have proactively notified you about this warranty coverage for what was clearly a safety issue. Resolving this would likely involve Ford either reimbursing your repair cost or extending brake booster warranty coverage under the program.

Your rearview camera display freezes or goes blank when you shift into reverse, though it happens intermittently rather than all the time. This prevents you from seeing what's behind your vehicle when backing up, which is a safety concern. The dealer has determined that the rearview camera system needs to be replaced to fix the issue.

Your rearview camera display shows a blank screen or displays an upside-down image when you start your vehicle. This safety feature is designed to help you see behind your car when backing up. The issue may require replacement or repair of the camera unit or its connections.

Your rearview camera stopped working and displayed an upside-down image while your vehicle was parked. The dealer diagnosed that the camera had failed and needed to be replaced, but the repair wasn't completed. The fix will involve replacing the rearview camera unit.

Your backup camera displays a black screen most of the time instead of showing the rear view when you put the car in reverse. Occasionally it may flicker on briefly before going dark again. This appears to be a widespread issue affecting multiple Ford vehicles, and since you rely on it for safe backing up, it's worth getting checked.

Your backup camera display isn't connecting properly or keeps disconnecting from the camera, so the image won't load or stays off. This makes it difficult to see behind your vehicle when backing up. The fix will likely involve checking the camera connection, wiring, or replacing the camera or display module.

Your car's transmission isn't properly recognizing when it's in Park, and the dashboard doesn't show the Park status. You can only start the engine by shifting to Neutral first, and the car will roll away even with the parking brake set. While driving, you're concerned the transmission might unexpectedly shift into a different gear. The issue likely involves the transmission shift interlock or position sensor that needs diagnosis and replacement.

Your airbags deployed unexpectedly while you were driving, even though there was no crash or collision. This is a serious safety concern that needs immediate attention from a dealer or mechanic.

Your brake pedal has gone soft or sunk to the floor in multiple incidents, including one where your brakes failed completely and didn't stop the car. The Ford dealership identified the problem as a faulty ABS module and told you they're backlogged with over 1,300 similar cases with no known availability date. You've also experienced an AC system that turns itself back on at full blast after you turn it down. The brake issue poses a serious safety risk and needs the ABS module to be replaced or repaired.

Your brake system may not be functioning properly. This is a serious issue that affects your ability to stop the vehicle safely and should be inspected by a mechanic as soon as possible.

Your backup camera display intermittently goes blank, shows a distorted or upside-down image, or displays a 'loss of signal' message when you shift into reverse. This means you lose visibility of the area behind your vehicle, which increases the risk of backing into something or someone. The issue may involve repairing or replacing the backup camera, its wiring connection, or the display unit.

You've noticed a strong gasoline smell inside and around your vehicle, both while driving and when parked. Your car also lost power during acceleration with the check engine light on and a "Turbo Boost" message appearing. A mechanic found a fuel leak and determined that either your fuel tank or fuel lines need to be replaced.

Your car has a persistent gasoline smell, and a mechanic diagnosed a fuel tank leak. Additionally, your check engine light came on with error codes related to the supercharger or turbo boost system. Fixing this will likely involve inspecting and repairing or replacing the fuel tank, and diagnosing the supercharger/turbo system to clear the engine codes.
