The backup camera displays upside down. Also, There is a clunk noise coming from the front end when you put in gear. Seems to be a common problem when you Google.
When driving I would hear clunking noises, when turning and breaking. My air bags sensor ideally off, and I'm experiencing electrical issues.
Tl* the contact owns a 2011 ford edge. While driving various speeds, a clunking noise was heard coming from the front passenger side of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the passenger side struts failed and needed to be replaced. It was unknown if the vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 105,000.
At decelleration, a loud and notable clunk (almost as if hit by another vehicle) can be felt/heard when the gas pedal is pressed after decelleration. This appears to be consistent with other owner's description of similar situations during decelleration then accelleration without stopping, for example, when approaching a red light that changes green before the vehicle comes to a complete stop. Dealer is not able to reproduce problem.
Issue 1 of 2: on 3 separate occasions the engine has suddenly lost power, lost speed and the engine shook and ran extremely rough. There was a message with a wrench on the screen that said see owners manual, but no useful information was given. The warning message later went away with no evidence of a problem. 2 of the incidents occurred at highway speed and nearly cause severe multi-car accidents. Another incident was at a lower speed of about 45 MPH and did not occur on a major highway. Issue 2 of 2: as a separate issue, there have been 2 occurrences of a very hash clunk from the transmission that felt as if the vehicle hit something. More information: the vehicle was purchased used at carmax with 213000 miles on it, purchase date: 01/28/2014.
I purchased a certified used 2011 ford edge in january 2013. Shortly thereafter, I started noticing some major issues. 1) the transmission whines at low speeds, until I accelerate & it shifts up a few gears. I have also had it slip & clunk while shifting gears 2) there is a loud popping from the front end, passenger side, when I am turning, especially in & out of parking spots 3) there is a whistle coming from under the SUV, between the driver side doors & it does it in accessory mode or when the SUV is running. I have now had it back at the dealer for the 3rd time & they are working with ford on diagnosing the issues. It is very disheartening to spend so much money for a vehicle & have such issues. Thankfully it is certified & under warranty. The dealership has been good about getting me a loaner vehicle too. But I almost am ready to ask them to trade me out of it, because I am sick of dealing with the issues. It is embarrassing to have such a nice looking "new" vehicle & when people ride with me, they notice all the things wrong & say I got a bad deal.
