Owner Complaints (61)
Your 2017 Ford Edge is subject to a safety recall involving the rear brake lines, which could potentially fail and cause an accident. Even though your vehicle is 9 years old, the manufacturer has not yet issued a fix for this issue. This delayed response to a brake-related safety recall is concerning.

at this point, I have been told to come in for a diagnostic check (my time off from work), but no parts and cannot fix it if the brake hose is leaking, my rear view camera is acting up at least on a weekly basis, can be at times more often then that, and they do not have the parts, also Ford is NOT making the parts at this time per warrentary employee at the dealership.

Coolant leaked into the engine due to failed parts/seals on the car and therefore it now needs a brand new engine. Ford is aware of this issue and even issued a TSB. According to a mechanic as well as the Ford Dealership Service, it needs a complete new engine.

My vehicle has the same issues related to a recall where the coolant leaked into a cylinder effecting the engine which now has to be replaced. The problem is that this recall is VIN specific which eliminates my vehicle from this recall. It is my opinion that this needs to be reviewed because somewhere along the lines somebody dropped the ball.

Within the past few weeks I recall hearing an explosive sound while driving. I pulled over to assess the situation but could not see any obvious cause of the loud noise. I seldom open the moon roof but when I did I made the connection between the explosive sound and the shattered glass moon roof.

I went to the dealership where I bought my 2017 silver ford edge, because on 5/8/2020 the engine icon came up on my dash. So I immediately stopped at the local jarett ford dealership in lakeland, fl, thinking it just needed an oil change. After I got this done, the engine icon never went and I began to experience my vehicle shaking and it also began heating up.
