2011 Ford Edge visibility complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 21 of 21, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Car was operated in cold weather on monday 12/28 and the rear defroster was activated. Car sat in garage from 12/28 evening thru 12/30 afternoon. Sometime after 10:00 pm on the 29th dec, the rear window exploded. Vehicle was stationary in the garage
Wipers have a mind of their own coming on when ever they want to and run on intermittent. You could start the car and the wipers start. During love bug season smearing love bug guts all over the window. Causing a distraction, not only to you but to other drivers. Trying to fiddle with the wiper control trying to get it to stop. I took the car to nick nicholas ford in crystal river fl on 8-26-15 am. They said they looked at it and there was nothing wrong. Drove to work and at 11:00 am on 8-26-15 it started again and about every 35 seconds they wipe across the dry windshield. I checked on the internet and others are having the same problem.
The driver side door latch not working properly indicates the door is opened when it is closed. There for the dome light stays on till the car reaches 20 miles per hour or about a city block witch makes it hard to drive and cover the dome light at night so u can see out the windshield so not to be blinded by the light .
The door ajar warning light will not go off even if the door is closed, which makes the interior lights stay on while driving which is a hazard at night time, creates low visibility, hard to see the road. Also the doors lock and unlock sporadically because of the malfunctioning sensor. Several people I know with the same vehicle have had the same problem with theirs. Seems like ford is cashing in on the 600.00 repair to fix the malfunctioning light.... At the drivers expense, monetary expenses and safety expenses. Not ok.
1.the window motor has malfunctioned since I bought this car and has been replaced twice under warranty but same issue continues. When you close the driver window it automatically comes right back down, and takes many attempts to manipulate the window to actually close. 2.my door ajar light indicator came on while door was closed. It leaves the interior light on because of false read indicator. That started a number of electrical malfunctions, including door locking issues. While driving with my 2 year old grandchild, she opened the door by herself during travel because the doors will not lock during travel.(she was in a certified car seat, nevertheless it was terrifying and is a safety issue). I had my vehicle in for this "latch malfunction" in september 2013. The part was on back-order for 6 weeks. (this is suspicious that I am not the only edge owner with this issue). I did call ford customer service, who politely said they would document my complaint. Thanks ford. This is an absolute safety issue. I have also owned fords for many years with no problems. The ford edge is flawed badly, and ford will only document your complaint. They will not resolve or take responsibility.
Tl* the contact owns a 2011 ford edge. The contact stated that the vehicle was parked when she noticed that the rear windshield was shattered. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer and the contact was informed that the failure occurred due to excessive heat. The failure recurred one year later. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer for repair. The manufacturer offered no assistance. The failure mileage was 2,219. Updated 9/18/12 *cn updated 09/21/2012
The window cracked from bottom upwards for no apparent reason. Door was not closed hard or "slammed". Nothing hit window. Just cracked.
We have a 2011 ford edge limited which someone threw a 3" diameter rock at the driver side glass. It was noted glass was not tempered but had a sound proofing laminate in middle of glass. Produce large quantities of sharp glass splinters throughout cabin and kept window glass intact. My concern is that you could be injured severely by the sharp glass splinters from any of the windows smashing in accident. Lastly, how do you get a person out if trapped under water when laminate is holding glass together. What if you had to rescue someone and had to smash glass, you could potentially injure occupants severely!!!!
On july 19th, 2011 while driving south bound on folly road in charleston, sc I was slowing down towards the intersection w/ fort johnson road. I was traveling approximately 30mph when I heard a very large pop or explosion like sound. After a second or two, I noticed shards of glass falling off the roof over the back window. I pulled over into a lot and found the rear most fixed glass roof panel (of the panoramic vista roof) had completely shattered. The local ford dealership indicated that ford will not treat this as a warranty covered item. The vehicle was brand new, bought only 4 days prior to the incident. I have formally submitted a complaint with ford and am supposed to receive a response in 15 days. I had no choice but to file an insurance claim in the meantime - the vehicle can not be driven and needs to be fixed. This has apparently happened in other panoramic vista roofs from ford, and just like in this case it happened spontaneously and without any impact from any object.
Sync/my touch console on 2011 ford edge locks up or goes dead. There is no way to activate the windshield defrost without the touch screen. Dealership service department has been unable to unlock screen. This problem has been widely reported on owners website for the 2011 edges, but ford does not seem to have a fix for it. It is winter and I need to run defrost.
