Your driver's seat heater overheated without any warning lights or alerts, causing second-degree burns on 10-20% of your body. The issue has been reproduced by a mechanic, but there were no error codes or warning messages to alert you. The seat heater likely needs to be replaced or its heating element circuit needs to be repaired to prevent overheating.

I've been having intermediate issues with my 2022 Ford Edge starting and leaving me stranded with no warning signs. Its been to (2) dealers to be serviced ( Avis Ford & Suburban Ford of Waterford) both dealers have been unable to diagnose the issue. My vehicle only have 26000 miles and is still under manufactures warranty. I leased to prevent such issues and have been left in unsafe circumstances numerous times and not that the Summer weather has begun, I'm afraid that myself with server Asthma will be left along side a road or parking lot with no air conditioning as my vehicle wont start.

The Ford Edge Sync 4A system has a random system lockup and reboot issue since delivery. The vehicle has been examined by the leasing dealer's service department and they were unable to resolve the concern. The service tech writes in the service report "The Ford is investigating software issue with Sync 4 in Edges". In multiple communications with Ford Customer Support dept and the leasing dealer service manager, the issue is known, but THERE IS NO RESOLUTION PLAN ISSUED BY FORD. The issue has existed since vehicle delivery. The effect of this issue is that all functions of the Sync system are disabled for minutes while the system locks up (the touch screen becomes completely unresponsive) and the system reboots. Phone calls are terminated, the backup camera is disabled, and driver attention is diverted while trying to determine what is going on with the Sync system and the aforementioned functional issues.
