2014 Ford Edge Problems

On three separate occasions, the brake pedal has gone all the way to the floor, with braking power reduced to a scary, dangerous level. An independent mechanic ran a diagnostic scan on one of those occasions and received an ABS Module fault. They bled the system, and the brakes worked well (fault went away) -- until the next incident, in which the car decided to randomly 'fix' itself about 20 minutes later. Independent shop and the dealership performed in-depth inspections of the entire braking system and could not find the issue. This hydraulic failure is a documented safety problem on other Edge models and should be the subject of a recall for the 2014 Ford Edge.

Brake pedal felt mushy, took vehicle to repair shop and had master cylinder replaced. Problem persisted so took vehicle to a different repair shop and had brake booster replaced. Pedal felt firmer but then a hissing sound could be heard while driving without using brakes. Had brake booster replaced again as well as the vacuum hose connected to booster. Now Pedal goes all the way the floor requiring excessive pressure to stop vehicle and a high pitched hissing sound is heard when applying pressure to brake pedal. Hissing sound still present while car in motion without touching brakes. Vehicle had to be put into neutral to stop. Backing out of driveway, vehicle continues to roll slightly even when Pedal pushed to floor. Mo warning lights have ever come on and brake fluid reservoir needs frequent additions of fluid.

The backup camera works periodically. Over a year ago, I went to Fiesta Ford to complain but it would cost me over $1000 to repair the camera. Many rimes it will start to work and during my back up, the screen would go black. There were several times when this occurred where I almost backed into another car backing up at the same time. The message on the screen says camera currently not available.

The backup camera on my 2014 Ford Edge is upside down. At night, the picture is completely unrecognizable. This year should have been included in the recent recall.

1) my rear view camera is disoriented when car is in reverse. Sometimes the picture on the screen is upside down or doesnt show anything at all. 2) drivers seat belt does not clip in correctly. I have to push the red button in for the seat belt to clip into place.

The contact owns a 2014 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while driving at slower speeds, the vehicle hesitated while accelerating with the accelerator pedal depressed, and the vehicle to respond as needed. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact stated the vehicle was consuming an excessive amount of fuel, with an abnormal burning metal odor entering the cabin of the vehicle through the air vents. The contact scanned the vehicle with an OBD-2 scanner and retrieved error codes for the Power Control Module, Steering Column Control Module, and Power Train Control Module. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer to be diagnosed; however, the cause of the failure was unknown because the contact had previously cleared the error codes twice. The contact related the failure to Manufacturer Recall: 24E10; however, the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 108,000.

7/2/25-i was driving about 20 miles per hour when suddenly my car went into a type of limp/idle mode. It shut the car down to an idle, a wrench light came on my dash then the car started to shake. I coasted into a driveway and turned the car off. I turned it back on after 5min and it was fine. 7/16/25-I was driving about 30mph and all of a sudden my car goes into this idle mode again. I got the car to coast over into a turning lane. It lost power down to an idle, wrench came up on dash again then the car started to shake. I turned the car off and back on and it was fine. I’m very scared to drive my car bc I don’t know when this will happen again. It could be when I’m turning in front of another vehicle, driving on the expressway or just normal streets or if someone was behind me and wasn’t able to react appropriately bc my car goes into this idle mode so fast that I don’t know how to keep from having an accident myself. 7/17/25-I took it to a machanic and they hooked it to a computer but nothing showed up as being wrong. They drove it several times but they couldn’t get it to do what I’m explaining what it does. After researching the issue, I believe it may be my electric throttle body ETB that ford acknowledged was an issue and had a customer satisfaction program CPS (CSP 13N03) from Ford for ETB replacement on certain 2009-2013 ,.* Jels, sometimes extended into the early 2014 model. * Electronic Throttle Body Failure * Ford ETBs from this era are notoriously bad. * Carbon buildup, worn internal sensors, or electronic glitches cause the throttle to stick or respond erratically. * The PCM detects an unsafe throttle position → activates fail-safe mode → wrench light + jerking + no throttle. * You restart the car, and the ETB re-initializes until it fails again.

I have had issues with this car since a few months from me getting it. My rear camera wouldn't work half the time and sometimes turns the images upside down. My heat and cooling system started malfunctioning and the driver's side doesn't blow or temp the same as the passenger side. It has been like that at least 2 of the 4 years I have had this car and have taken it in multiple times and spent thousands of dollars to get it fixed and it is still not fixed and no one can seem to tell me the problem. My car also restarts itself and it won't turn off. A couple of months into getting the car, my car literally shut off while I was on the freeway and I had to pull over. Restart it. I took it in to Ford and they said it was fine. Throughout the last 4 years, my car has restart itself without me autostarting it! It is not a push start car! The engine won't turn off half the time when I take the key out or it turns off then restarts itself and it won't turn off. My car won't lock when it restarts itself. I have also taken my car in multiple times for the electrical system. Reading that there has been multiple complaints about a lot of the issues I am having with my car, not only is it a major safety hazard, but Ford should have done recalls. It is quite ridiculous that they haven't when they are aware of multiple cars having these same issues. I have almost caused several car accidents because of the electrical issues and I don't feel safe driving my vehicle. I shouldn't have to keep spending thousands of dollars and the issues aren't resolved or they keep saying they don't know. There is clearly a lot of faulty issues with the 2014 Ford Edge model and there needs some recalls that need to be issued. My car should not start slowing down automatically on the freeway then shut down. I have had to replace my battery and alternator in less than a year of owning it with only 40,000 miles of it. There have been way too many issues to have had less than 100,000 miles on it.

Three different occurrences of the engine shutting off. Twice while in park and once while stopped in a drive-thru.

The manufacturer was notified of the failure, a case was opened, and the contact was referred to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was 66,000.

The contact's father owns a 2014 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while he was driving at approximately 65 MPH, the "door open" alarm and chime was sounding, indicating that the driver's side door was open. The contact observed that the driver's side door was closed. The contact pulled off the highway, stopped the vehicle, and turned off and restarted the vehicle several times and the alarm turned off. The contact stated that her father related that the failure was recurring and additionally, the door locks were unlocking independently, and that the driver's side door keypad was constantly illuminated, causing the battery to be drained. The contact had not taken the vehicle to a local dealer or independent mechanic. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 190,000.

The seat feels like it’s leaning to the right and rocks back on start and rocks forward on stop. Please advise if this is part of a larger issue.

Rear camera works intermittently and is often blurry/glitches. Rear powered hatch often only closes partway then reopens

The contact owns a 2014 Ford Edge. The contact stated that there was water leaking into the vehicle on the front passenger’s side of the vehicle, drenching the floorboard and causing a mildew odor inside the cabin of the vehicle. The vehicle had not been taken to the dealer. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was opened. The manufacturer referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline to report the failure. The failure mileage was 65,000.

The backup camera malfunctions, and has been doing so for about a year. When the vehicle is put into REVERSE sometimes the camera screen will be black for a few moments, followed by a message that the camera isn't available, and that I should contact my dealer. Sometimes it will come on, but show an upside-down image. There are active recalls for this problem, but I can't seem to get my VIN on the recall list so that this safety issue can be fixed.

Ford has a recall on all back up cameras on Ford Edges due to the camera malfunctioning but they only have the recall back to year 2015. My camera has been malfunctioning forever but I did and do not want to pay to get it corrected. The camera shows everything upside down. I feel Ford should fix every camera that has issues, not just from 2015 and beyond.

I purchased my 2014 Ford Edge SEL ON JANUARY 2015. I have electrical problems suspicion problems & recall on my Airbags! I have always taken it to a Ford Dealership to have my regular service done…oil charge etc. it those times I have told them the other problems I was having example electrical problem started a month after I bought my vehicle every time they told me nothing is wrong or they replace the battery I have had 4 batteries replaced by Ford Dealerships. I also had recall on my airbags the dealership told me numerous times you do not need to worry about your vehicle it is fine!! After my 100, 000 Mile Warranty ran out I had my vehicle serviced by a mechanic shop. They could the electrical issue was in headlights & dashboard had them replace headlights & lights in dashboard. On 3/19/2023 I was in a bad vehicle accident involved 9 vehicles I was the 5 vehicle. I have neck back & leg injuries. My AIRBAGS NEVER went off! If the Airbags would of worked properly have would not of gotten all my injuries. My Police Officers & Paramedics explained that to me at scene of the accident. Why did Ford not do or repair my airbag recall instead of telling meh car was not recalled even when I received service notification in the mail to get the Airbags fixed

THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR SENSOR/ LATCH IS FAILING. DOOR IS CLOSED OR SLAMMED MULTIPLE TIMES AND SENSOR SHOWS ERRORS OF: DOOR AJAR, TRANSMISSION NOT IN PARK, ENGINE ON BECAUSE IT DOESN'T SENSE THE DOOR BEING SHUT. THEREFORE THE OVERHEAD LIGHT STAYS ON AND CAN POTENTIALLY DRAIN BATTERY. IF CONTINUING TO DRIVE WITH WARNING IT WILL BEEP EVERY FEW SECONDS. THE DOORS WILL NOT AUTOMATICALLY LOCK. WHEN GETTING OUT OF CAR AND LOCKING. IT NEEDS TO BE SHUT MULTIPLE TIMES SO LIGHT DOESN'T STAY ON AND OR ALARM WILL NOT SET. *TR

I purchased my 2014 Ford Edge in December 2023. March 2023, I started having issues with the driver side door lock sensor malfunction as shown in the last photo. The door would not automatically lock when I started driving, sensing that the driver’s side door was still open. It was not. I kept pushing the lock button to lock it, but it kept unlocking even while driving. Eventually it would lock. The cost to fix that was around $600 which I could not afford, and my limited warranty expired. July/August 2025 my ABS and traction control sensor lights were lit on my dash. I took the car for service and my very reputable mechanic diagnosed with no codes showing up a few times. Performed a reset twice and the lights came back on after only driving a couple of miles. He contacted Ford who advised he couldn't sell the part because there was a "national hold" on the part. On 9/2 my brakes and traction control failed resulting me rear ending another vehicle. The other safety issue is that my airbags did not deploy upon the collision. I contacted Ford Corporation and was advised that Ford will not do anything since my vehicle was older than 10 years. The vehicle is a total loss leaving me with a loan balance of approximately $4,700.00. This is neither fair nor right for a multimillion-dollar company that will not or choose not to address or acknowledge their responsibility regarding these two very serious safety issues. Since I didn’t die or get seriously hurt, I guess it’s not that big a deal to Ford.

While driving at approximately 10 mph I attempted to make a left hand turn. Something popped in my front end causing my vehicle to immediately pull to the left and into a landscaping rock. The incident caused the entire wheel and left front side to completely break. Air bags did not deploy

The Power Take Off Assembly (PTU) failed. I had it replaced a a Ford Dealership with a genuine Ford PTU. After driving less than 125 miles the PTU failed again and my right front half shaft disengaged without notice on the high when traveling at highway speeds. Upon return to the dealership they noted that the PTU failed and it was replaced at no cost. However, they charged me for the replacement of the Right Front Axel. I contacted Ford Customer Service and contend that recall 14S10 should apply especially after the new PTU failed. They denied my claiming stating that the dealership claimed a torn CV Boot was the cause of my axel disengaging. However there was no mention of a torn CV Boot in the dealerships multipoint inspection of my vehicle when originally brought in. Ford Customer Service and the dealership denied my claim.

Wheel cracked, found during replacement of failed tire. Could have led to an accident if unfound. Problem found by Firestone Service Center No. No.

1) my rear view camera is disoriented when car is in reverse. Sometimes the picture on the screen is upside down or doesnt show anything at all. 2) drivers seat belt does not clip in correctly. I have to push the red button in for the seat belt to clip into place.

Seat belt will not stay, buckled. This is a manufacturing defect and could cause bodily harm if Ford doesn't correct. I contacted Ford and they weren't concerned about this issue. Case # : CASI41262353
