What 2014 Ford Edge owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
The seat rocks back and forth on takeoff and stop. Self inspected and found cracked square tubing on frame of seat. Car does not feel safe to me to drive. Car has never been in accident to my knowledge. Was purchased used.
Driver power seat tilts backward suddenly when accelerating or backing causing driver to lose control of the vehicle.
When you are driving and braking, the pedal is very strong and the car hardly stops
Power seat assembly is broken and it looks to be a common problem and it needs addressed asap before someone get killed. My family was driving on the interstate and the seat made a very fast "zip" or "ratcheting" noise and immediately tilted backwards several inches causing me to swerve all over the road. In my search of this problem, I found it was a very common problem and a very expensive fix all the while ford refuses knowing about it
Drivers side seat and passenger seat appear to be loose and rock back and forth when starting and stopping quick and it has been reported to the dealership several times at service and nothing seems to be done to fix it and it has been that way since the vehicle was purchased and it had warranty left at that time and also extended warranty was purchased in 2016
Driver door ajar light remains on when door is completely closed and interior lights remain on. Safety hazard when driving at night also a drain on the battery. Vehicle was stationary when problem occurred but could not resolve and had to drive with interior lights on at night.
Power seat assembly is broken and it looks to be a common problem and it needs addressed asap before someone get killed. My family and I were driving on the interstate and the seat made a very fast "zip" or "ratcheting" noise and immediately tilted backwards several inches causing me to swerve all over the road but gained control of the vehicle. In my search of this problem, I found it was a very common problem and a very expensive fix all the while ford knowing about it, but not fixing the weak problems causing this. This is 100% a safety factor for everyone on the roadways and it needs addressed now before it becomes a statistic with injuries or worse gravestones. The part at first glance and educated guess is to be the motor drive gears or what ford is calling "rails". They expect you to purchase the whole "seat adjuster" bt4z-7861711-d for what is 100% a road safety hazard.
When accelerating, the driver's seat rocked upward and I almost lost control of the car. The rear of the seat remained attached to the rail. The diagnosis per the ford dealer was that the seat rails were faulty and needed to be replaced. This is a 2014 model car, and I have never had such an issue after over 40 years of driving.
When lowering the drivers power seat the mechanism clicks loudly the whole time lowering. When coming to a stop the seat juts forward. When accelerating from a stop the seat juts backwards making it difficult to control gas and brake pedal..
