“horn stopped working for unknown reasons fuses were checked, all good fuses same with relays and clock springs, horn appears too no longer work on my vehicle the vehicle only has 121k miles, check engine light popped on and all it says is spark plugs got the coils and plugs done same issue. got a dignosis done piston rings have failed at 121k miles. cv axle issue has became disconnected from joint. expensive repair.”
“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.”
“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.”
