2017 Ford Edge electrical system problems

“At approximately 7:00 a.m. on 10/22/2026 I was driving my 2017 Ford Edge when suddenly there was a loud bang towards the rear of my car. Immediately after, I could hear my rear window shattering, cracking. There were no other cars near me at the time. As I continued to drive, the glass continued to crack and shatter. Glass started to break completely free from my window, and fall inside my rear hatch, as well as on the outside of the car on the road.”

“vehicle losing acceleration when a small incline is needed after a stop. Engine will rev up but it will not move. Putting vehicle in to park and turning it off and back on again does a small reset and starts moving again. Over the last few months this event has happened multiple times until roughly around 2 months ago it will not move at all. check engine light is on and code saying "Transmission not in park" when you put it in Reverse and neutral and Drive and Sport. called dealership and they don't pick up the vehicle and want to charge me 180.00 just to Diagnose it.”

“I am writing to express my concern with how Ford is handling Safety Recall 25S89. I have had numerous incidents where the camera has failed when backing up and have photos to document these instances. I brought my 2017 Edge to the dealership today and was told that it did not need replacement. So, it's "safe" to have the camera display a blank screen some of the time? I would think that the rationale behind a backup camera is that it is safe 100% of the time or it should be replaced. If a part fails only some of the time, is it considered a safe part per the NHTSA? I would really appreciate hearing back from someone at NHTSA on this issue and perhaps there needs to be review with Ford on how this is being handled.”

“My camera intermittently goes blank and car feel like it doesn’t stop properly today I was backing out of a driveway and camera went blank and caused me to back into a car that had pulled up I called my local ford after I got the letters but they said I would receive a letter when they get the parts in !!”

“PLEASE SEE ATTACHED LETTER This complaint is being submitted due to gross negligence in recall communication and manufacturer accountability. This failure in vehicle safety oversight that has already resulted in emotional and financial harm. In September of this year, I submitted an application for a buy-back option to Ford but was denied. This application/request was assigned a case number by Ford: cxh05566445w6s6x2 My vehicle has four unresolved safety recalls, two of which directly caused two accident that could—and should—have been prevented had I been notified of the known safety risks. I did not receive recall notices until after both of the accidents occurred, which demonstrates a systemic failure by the manufacturer, Ford. This negligence is not only irresponsible—it violates basic safety obligations to consumers and the public. I request immediate action from NHTSA to investigate this matter and enforce compliance. A description of the incidents and associated recalls that have incurred are described on the following page. Additionally, just last week while driving on a rural road, my vehicle’s transmission unexpectedly shifted from standard Drive into…”

“My car loses power when I press the gas. For example, I can come to a stop, wait until it’s safe to turn in front of another car, then try to take off — but the vehicle suddenly loses all power. It won’t accelerate, and I have to keep pressing the gas and hope it goes. Sometimes I have to pull over, put it in park, turn the car off, and restart it before it will drive again. This also happens on the freeway. When this issue happens, the car also shifts very hard afterward, causing it to jump forward. This makes the vehicle extremely unsafe — especially when I am trying to turn in front of cars moving at high speed and my car suddenly loses all power. I have taken the vehicle in five times for the same issue, but the Ford dealership has not been able to repair it. I have also called Ford’s corporate office, but they said they cannot help. I opened a case with the BBB as well, and they advised me to open a case with you. At this point, I am at a complete loss with this issue. I travel with my two kids in the car, and I am honestly afraid to drive it — but I have no other vehicle.”
