2017 Ford Edge: headlights failing or too dim

Filed Sep 11, 2025 · Lights, Suspension · OH · crash

I bought this car used from Honda Dealership. It had 84,000 mileage on it and since then. The headlights are so dim and I can’t see you have to drive with high beam on every time I go at night I’ve changed almost we like 56 different types light bulb, but still nothing still worst. If I used one for the manufacturer one it’s nothing it’s literally dark outside. I can’t see nothing and another problem is as the ball joint since I bought it I took it from my first oil change when they did the inspection on the car they told me one of my passenger side ball joint was loose but that time I didn’t have money to repair it because it was almost $5000 they said and I was like I don’t have the money. I’m a college student so and recently my car wheel is to the left side more. Something if there’s anything I can do is there anything y’all can do to help cause I don’t want to get in an accident because of that thing.

I can not see a dark road in the night if there is no additional lighting, such as street lights. I have been to the dealership and there is no brighter bulbs approved by Ford; they have repositioned the lights and it does not help. I have missed a right turn several times and understeered. Twice I have missed the road completely and ran into a ditch that was not made visable when using the dim headlights. I have hit a fence post after going into the ditch. I made no insurance claim thinking that I was my fault that I can not see well in this vehicle. I see several post online with complaints and concerns regarding this same issue of the 2017 Edge Titanium not have efficient dim headlights. This is a major safety concern. I can not see to safely drive at night on dark roads such as in the country. I can not see the road ahead of me more that a couple of feet and not at all when turning right. I bought the car from a dealership in spring this year, 2021. I seldom drive at night and I finally decided it is a vehicle issue not my personal issue with not being able to see the road at night. I will be going back to the dealership...again. It looks like I will have to buy a different car since there is nothing that can be done to make this car safe!!

The low beam headlights are very dim, and when it's raining at night, it is almost too dim to drive safely. The high beams work fine, but the low beams are too dim to be effective.

Headlights are inadequate. They are too dark for night driving. They do not adequately and safety illuminate the road. Autonation ford in st petersburg, fl does not admit the problem even though the problem is well known and is well documented.

I leased this 2017 ford edge in december of 2017. Upon driving it at night I noticed a very dim light on low beam showing the road. I thought it was just me but then I had my husband drive he also experienced difficulty in seeing the road when the headlights were on low beam. I took it to my dealer and they verified that the car has very low visibility on the low beams. Therefore there was nothing they could do. I contacted the ford motor co and they told me that car was performing as designed. That is my issue. I drive a lot at night and this is very much a safety concern. I have owned 6 ford products in the past and have never experienced this type of lighting. I also have done my research thru the internet and have noticed many many complaints about the ford edge low beam poor performance. I believe the government should look into this matter. It is not safe to drive at night. I really hated to bring this to your attention but I feel there is a risk to ford edge owners. I was told by ford that maybe I should look into aftermarket headlights but that sounded odd to me as I have paid $ 40,000 for a car with poor low beam headlights. This is a concern that should be addressed. Ford said that the car is performing as designed. I disagree. Thank you for your time.
