Takata recall. My vehicle is experinceing the same thing listed in recall #14v393000 for the same year, make, and model of my vehicle. However my VIN does not meet the recall. The halfshaft and linkshaft become disengaged while driving and power is no longer be transmitted to the wheels. I was driving on the interstate when this accured forcing me to pull of. Once in park the vehicle shakes. Turn the engine off. Wait a minute or two and start it back up and it runs fine. This has accured 6 times in the last year.
2012 Ford Edge transmission complaints
Page 2 of 3: complaints 11 to 40 of 47, newest first, as owners wrote them.
While driving the vehicle sensor staying "low engine oil pressure" appeared on the dash, while at tree same time the lights flickered, the vehicle died completely, and tge steering wheel locked in place making it impossible to steer the vehicle off the main road. The vehicle had to be placed in park and re-started continuously until we reached the driveway of our home.
I was out running errands and everything was fine. Left a store to pick up my daughter from practice and had to stand on the brakes to get the vehicle to stop at a red light. This was after stopping fine at the previous three stores and numerous lights I encountered. This issue continued for the next 15 miles of lights and traffic, until I got home. I did stop at an o'reillys auto parts on my way home and checked the brake fluid level, which was full. I have parked the vehicle and have been driving my son's jeep for the past three days. I have an appointment to drop the edge off at williamsburg ford, williamsburg, va, on 3/28/19. I have researched this issue and evidently there is a customer satisfaction program announcement of a brake booster issue covered under an extended warranty (13n01) and have read more than 130 other people have experienced issues identical to mine. Not understanding why this is not a recall due to the nature of the failure being brakes!!!!!!! Failure occurred at 69,536 miles on odometer. I have also recently had an issue with hard shifting from park to drive. I feel and hear a clunk when shifting and taking off from being parked.
Pulled over in emergency lane on highway 3 miles from home. Stopped car and placed gear shift in park position and set flashers. On getting out of car noted car was moving forward. Rechecked to see if gear shift was in park which was confirmed by passenger. Driver on getting out of vehicle was unable to get back in with attempt to grab seat belt as leverage to get back in. Victim was unable to get back in and fell out of car resulting in car back driver side tire rolling over victim. Resulted in hospitalization with right side 8 broken ribs, t-1 fracture, punctured lung on right and multiple bruises and lacerations on legs and back. Resulted in chest tube placement, placement of neck brace, hospitalization for 10 days, wound care to cut on right ankle, inpatient rehab for 5 days with continued outpatient rehab for minimum of 1 month. F/u neurosurgery appointment 12/18/18 to determine removal of neck brace. Continuing to provide daily wound care to ankle abrasion that is preventing painless walking. Bruises remain on legs with swelling of left calf and thigh muscles. Have police report that verifies that gear shift was in park at the time of accident. Have pictures of bruises, chest tube placement but unable to download.
Tl* the contact owns a 2012 ford edge. When the vehicle was shifted into park, it moved forward and struck a tree without warning. A police report was not filed and there were no injuries. The vehicle was taken to a body shop and deemed operable. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer for diagnostic testing or repairs. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and did not assist. The failure mileage was approximately 88,000.
While driving I lose power and can no longer accelerate. The problem is that the halfshaft retention circlip may not have been properly installed. As a result the halfshaft may move outward and disengage from the linkshaft while driving and without warning. If this occurs, power will no longer be transmitted to the wheels, increasing the risk of a crash.
While driving down the road and approaching a stop sign or red light the vehicle stalls and losses all power, no steering, brakes are hard to apply. This is extremely scary in traffic
After pulling out in traffic on 1/15/18, going about 50 MPH, my 2012 ford edge suddenly lost power and the wrench warning light appeared. I had to shut the car down and restart it several times to slowly get it out of traffic - each time the wrench warning light appeared and the vehicle lost power. Finally, after getting out of traffic I shut it down and let it sit for a few minutes, restarted it and this time the awd warning light appeared but my car is not an awd vehicle. Then the wrench light appeared again. Had it towed to the local dealer. They couldn't find any computer memory record of what happened and had their technician drive it home to see if the problem duplicated itself. It did not. After 3 days at the dealership they could not find anything wrong with the vehicle and I picked it up and drove it home. I should add that my vehicle has only 26,000 miles on it. In reading these complaints mine is not the only complaint about this issue and ford needs to figure out and repair those vehicles affected by this problem. This is definitely a safety issue!
Vehicle suddenly stops going, no acceleration. Happens without warning, forcing you to get off the road. Must shut off vehicle and restart. Creates a very hazardous situation where you can be traveling on the interstate going 65 MPH & suddenly have no power! Engine is running but there's no acceleration whatsoever. My warranty just ran out & I have less than 36000.0 miles on this car! Only happens when you're traveling which means you have no way of preparing & puts your life in jeopardy.
2012 ford edge rapidly loses acceleration and comes to a stop. The engine remains running, but the accelerator will not increase speed. It causes a serious safety hazard as the car will go from 60 to zero in seconds. Driver must find a safe place to pull over, (sometimes impossible) to stop engine and restart to continue on. Problem is intermittent. Repair at ford says throttle body is the problem and it is happening on 2011-2105 fords. Ford does not care and will not pay for the repair if you are out of warranty. This has happened four times in the last two weeks. Very dangerous.
I have this car in the shop for ptu x2, the sensors in the car went out causing the shifter and lights and doors not to work the breaks went out and now the cyclic converter is going out and there is a gas lick somewhere in the car or a viper lick somewhere and all of this started 3000 miles over the warranty and it has been in shop a total of 5 times in the past 2 years
While driving the car shuts off and a wrench pops up on the dash. Lat time it happen my wife was driving in an intersection . Than 2 more times in a 4 mile drive . We had this issue before and had the throttle body replaced about 8 months ago and that worked till now. My wife is to scared to drive the vehicle and I cant say I blame her .
Issue - 'shift to park' warning indicator is shown when the vehicle is parked and the shifter is in the 'p' position. Doors cannot be locked and internal/external lights remain on while in this 'shift to park' position draining the battery. While foot brake pedal is engaged, shifting away from 'p' and back to 'p' sometimes registers the vehicle as in the correct park position. Repeat until warning message is gone. The vehicle is stationary on a flat surface but I am not sure if the vehicle is really parked since it's warning I'm not but the shifter is in the 'p' position. I dare not try this on a hill--and always the brake pedal engaged while I'm fiddling with the hand shifter. When did this happen? At least 4 times a week for a year.
6/24/16 took car to dealer for check engine light. Repair $329. Indicated purge valve stuck open at times. 6/30/16 check engine light again. Indicated under boost....replaced waste gate vacuum sensor. $307. Returned to dealer again for check engine light due to hose clamp loose. Began experiencing door ajar light and interior lights that don't turn off. Returned to dealer on 8/15/16 and were told the turbo assembly needs to be replaced for $2500+. Could lose power and cause further engine damage if driven. Tried contacting ford via email with no response. There are clearly safety issues and recall should be issued and repairs at ford expense. Tired of reading of these same ford issues but selective state and model repair.
Tl* the contact owns a 2012 ford edge. The contact stated that the vehicle stalled without warning four months ago. The contact's husband replaced the half shaft, but the failure recurred. The vehicle was coasted to the side of the road and was unable to restart. The contact was unsure whether the VIN was included in the federal safety agency campaign number: 14v393000 (power train). The contact was to check with the manufacturer for more disclosure concerning the recall. The vehicle was towed to the contact's residence. The failure mileage was not available.
I purchased my low mileage edge from local ford dealer. Experiencing periodic issue with car transmission lag or jerking when accelerating from stop, as at a stop sign or pulling out of parking lots. Took to dealer several times, they can't duplicate issue, no codes. More recently the backup camera has intermittently failed. No backup guidelines are present, sometimes backup camera is visible, then goes black, other times doesn't work at all. Now my brakes are giving me issues. The pedal will either be very hard to press, as in losing power braking when a vehicle dies. Then the pedal may go all the way to the floor. Did experience something similar while in fast food drive thru, foot on brake, then brake losing pressure and pedal depressing to floor. I put the vehicle in park, then the "service advance track: light came on briefly. This vehicle is not safe and once I make a list of all of the service bulletins it's going to the dealer for repair. Last time I went the idiot at the service counter put that I said the vehicle "stalled". Never did I say that happened. I said there was a lag in acceleration and the feeling like a transmission jerking into gear. Piece of junk ford, don't know what I was thinking buying it. All of these complaints on this site, amazing there aren't more accidents. Shame on you ford! You used to make quality products.
Tl* the contact owns a 2012 ford edge. While placing the vehicle in park and exiting the vehicle, it rolled downhill across the street and struck a tree. The contact stated that the vehicle would not register that it was in park. The vehicle had to be restarted numerous times in order for the vehicle to register that it was in park. The vehicle was unoccupied at the time of the failure and the air bags failed to deploy. A police report was not filed. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where it was awaiting repairs. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 68,000.
While driving, the vehicle stopped pulling. The motor was still running and started vibrating. Turned off the car and then restarted it. It felt like the car was in neutral. I have seen the recall on the halfshaft disengagement and am not sure if my car has had this recall fixed. This has happened twice in the last 10 days.
Three times in two week experienced sudden loss of power all in motion. Third time I was on the freeway ramp. Coasted/limped to hard shoulder. As twice before the wrench icon appeared on panel along with '"awd off". Turned off engine, waited a minute, and restarted engine. Everything now fine and got home. Took to ford dealer. (ford of escondido) they cannot replicate the problem. Told everything checked out ok. Could find no error reports under diagnostics. Told to pick up car. Left car at dealer! This sudden loss of power is a huge safety concern. If I had experienced this on the freeway instead of the ramp, I could have rear ended at 65mph!
Traction control activates for no reason ( dry weather). Resulting in total loss of power at express way speeds. It will deactivate ar some point but recycles several times.. Once car is parked and turned off clears it self.. Fo d can not find out why this happens.
Sometimes when I put the car into park, I get repeated warnings to "shift to park". If I don't jiggle the button on the shift knob, my seat and other electrical components will not respond. I have to start the truck a few times, put it through the gears (in drive and reverse), then I press the shift release button several times then the warning stops and my driver seat functions to allow me to get out of the car. This is a pain and the dealer said that if the problem couldn't be duplicated, then they cant do anything about it. I have had the truck in 2 times about this - the transmission shifts hard into gear after slowing or coasting and then accelerating. Almost feels like I have hit something when it happens. I'm very concerned, having two toddlers in the truck. I also took video of the parking, shifting into park issue. I just want it fixed....
As I pulled into the parking deck at my office (going less than 10 MPH), I suddenly had little ability to steer, nothing happened when I pressed the gas and the "low oil" light came on. I was able to coast to a stop and just barely steer clear of nearby vehicles. Restarted the car and was able to back into a parking spot. Drove it to the dealer where they spent the entire day trying to replicate the issue to no avail. I had noticed what I would describe as vibrations in the steering wheel prior to the incident (it's an approximately 25 minute drive from my house to the office in stop/go traffic with the last several miles on a busy interstate with my office just off the exit) but at the time I chalked it up to the construction on the highway and varying levels of asphalt. From my personal research online, most people who have this issue continue to have it at both low and high rates of speed and those who have had a remedy were only able to do so if the dealer could get their hands on the vehicle to read the code immediately before the car was restarted. It seems that the error code is disappearing when the car is restarted which could explain why the dealer could find no code on my vehicle.
The battery was going dead when vehicle left off and parked overnight. The gear shift is not communicating that the vehicle is in park and the displays would come on and drain the battery overnight. The error was mis-diagnosed and a new battery was purchased. The issues continued and the dealership states it is the gear shifter wiring. This should be a recall item, there is nothing to be done in normal daily use that could have prevented this.
Throttle body failure.
While driving at 45mph, vehicle lost power to the extent that I had to pull over on the shoulder. A mechanic wrench light appeared on the dash. Vehicle remained running but idle was very erratic. After ignition was turned off, I used a code reader and dtc "p2111" appeared on the reader (throttle body failure). After clearing the code, I restarted the vehicle and engine idle appeared normal. Drove vehicle for 20 miles with no other abnormalities. During a brief review of ford recalls, tsb's, etc. I am finding that there are known issues with the throttle body on other models but for some reason not the edge.
While driving down the highway my vehicle suddenly flashed a message that said "awd manual turned off." I could not accelerate, nor could I brake. I was lucky that the cars behind me did not rear-end me. I was forced to coast off the side of the road and wait for the car to stop on its own. Had I not had access to a shoulder on the road I would have been stranded in the middle of the highway. My mechanic stated they are replacing the throttle body.
This has recurred 3 times in the last 3 weeks. The last time it happened, I was backing out of my driveway and the car started jerking, wouldn't accelerate and the wrench light came on. I turned the vehicle off, waited a couple of seconds, restarted it and it worked great. The time before I was going about 55 MPH and the car did the same thing. I pulled over to the side of the road, turned it off and restarted and it worked great. I'm afraid to travel in the vehicle. The ford dealership said it's the electronic throttle body and will cost $400+/- to fix.
Alarm and dash icon warn driver to shift into park. I pull off the road and shift into park with no problem apparent in the shift or transmission. This alarm is recurrent mostly when moving on the roadway and occasionally when car is still. This problem according to the ford dealer is a defective switch in the shifter lever assembly. This is a $325 repair and too complex to complete myself. This issue is distracting to safe driving requiring finding the ok button or pulling off the roadway to shift the lever.
I was unable to come to a complete stop and hit a cone in nyc. After, it was extremely difficult to come to a complete stop. The car was able to slow down but it took time. I drove slow and away from others. The brakes were hard and made noise when I pushed down on the brakes. When I went to the dealer, they informed me that ford has an extended warranty on the part and I asked why wasn't the part recalled if it put me and my family in harms way. Why wasn't I notified prior to losing full braking power? I am thankful that I noticed the problem right away and my family and I are safe. I have concerns for others who may be at a greater speed when the brakes fail or have to stop unexpectedly. In addition, my car has returned to the dealership for service several times for not locking into the park position. It is not safe and again, I have concerns for my family and others. Can this car move if it isn't secured in the park position? I have voiced my concerns with ford but have been given the run around by everyone I have encountered. These are safety issues and no one seems to care. Everyone is nice and apologizes but they need to take care of these safety concerns for their customers and for the general public.
On multiple occasions while driving between the speeds of 25mph and 80mph on european roads/highways the car loses ability to accelerate regardless of pressure on gas pedal. I had to pull over, luckily avoiding cars and possible collisions. Car displayed yellow wrench and "awd off" on left side display. Once in safe area I turned off the car, waited for a few minutes and turned it back on without immediate incident. This happened a total of 7 times within a week, however, after contacting ford service stateside I was told to go to an italian ford dealership. However, I stopped at two ford service centers located in vicenza, italy and the mechanics will not touch my car due to the model not being sold anywhere in europe. The problem stopped up until this past week where it has happened again twice within 3 days at, luckily, low speeds and avoiding all cars/hazards. We will attempt to bring it to a local mechanic in hopes of getting the problem fixed as we are leaving for the states in less than a month due to military pcs orders.
