The collision avoidance and cruise control system has become intermittent, undependable and dangerous while driving. There is no way to tell when it is woking or not and to depend on it is asking for disaster. The dealer doesn't seem to have a clue as to what to do about it.

Rear lift gate sensor broke at 20k.it would start to close then would open automatically. It had to be force closed.it took 2 weeks for the part but by then the lift gate motor was worn out too.I had to wait 2 more weeks for that part to completely repair the electric lift gate.at 36k my collision warning sensor often wouldn't work while driving.it stops the warning from alarming when the car in collision dange and it stops the car cruise control to automatically adjust the cars speed to keep a safe distance. The dealer said the bumper was damaged and the sensor was pointing down but don't know how that can be with no visible bumper damage.at 38k my drivers side door sensor almost always says the door is ajar as soon as entering and indicator illuminates and chimes and the interior light stays on for a period and the car can't be locked at this time all while driving.sometimes there is chiming with no indicator lights to what the problem is while driving.often the shift to park lights and chimes with the door ajar warning while driving and when the car is in park and after it is turned off. Now there are is a constant warnings chiming and flashing before 39k. The car canted be locked when the door falsely indicates its ajar.

Purchased a 2013 ford edge on 12/04/2015. Collision warning sensors and advanced track sensor off warnings kept coming on. The dealership says that they replaced them, and things seemed to be okay with the exception of a few other unrelated issues. However, on 02-25-2016 after picking up my car from the dealership again, the accessory power is active sensor came on. Nothing was powered on or plugged in, and it was not mentioned in the manual. I called the dealership again, only I have not had the best overall experience with the service department since buying this car. Online reviews from other ford edge owners complain of the engine shutting down and losing power! The collision warning and advance track sensors have come on while driving on the freeway, but the accessory power warning first came on just as I was pulling into a parking spot. It remained on for several hours, then went out. Then the collision warnings and advance track warnings flashed on again for about 10 seconds or so, then went back out. I should add that the dealership supposedly reset the collision warning and advance track sensors and performed ccm alignment procedures. As of yet, I have not lost power, but I am greatly concerned that this could happen! This is the only vehicle I own, and I need to know what can legally be done?

We were returning home via i55 and I turned on the adaptive cruise control and the pre-collision system. Three times in the space of an hour, without any vehicle in front of us, the vehicle brake itself. There was a tractor and trailer next to us and cars behind us on the two lane highway. After the third incident I turned off the pre-collision system but left the adaptive cruise control on. Some time later with different vehicles, but the same types in the same relative positions, the car brake violently, the warning lights in the windshield were blinking and a siren was sounding and there was no one in front of us again. The attempted stop by the car was so violent it threw us forward. We have not driven the car since and it has been at the ford dealer waiting for a diagnosis and a part that may fix the issue. The edge has been at the dealer since the the 27th of december and no one has any idea as to when the "part" may be in. We took possession of the car on december 20th, 2014. I contacted ford asking for a buy back and am waiting to hear. Both the dealership service manager and a ford field engineer experienced the same issues.
