The oil pan is made of plastic and is known to warp and leak. I have had 3 oil pans on the car since I purchased it February 2018. This poses a risk because oil is spilled onto the ground creating an environmental and slip hazard. The issue has been verified by two different Ford dealers in my area. They both have replaced the oil pan for me and stated that it would probably leak again. Since the last replacement, it has began leaking and I have not bothers to pay for it again because I have been hoping that it would become a recall. It is a known issue among the online forums surrounding this car. No warning lights indicated unless the oil level gets too low.

3 times my 2011 ford edge has lost power & gone into 'limp mode' while driving. I've had to coast to side of the road. Wrench light, no awd, no traction, low engine oil lights have all come on. Once the car wouldn't restart so I had it towed. Last time I drove it to dealership for them to tell me there are no codes so they don't know what the problem is. Obviously this is a very dangerous situation as I'm traveling 60 +miles an hour when my car basically loses power as I'm trying to get to a safe location. Investigating this problem it's a known throttle body issue & there is a customer satisfaction program 16b23 for 2011 ford edge w 3.5l engine & from oakville plant which fits my car but my VIN is not included because year it was made. I called ford customer service & they were going to reach out to dealership & then get back to me. That never happened. This is very disheartening that ford doesn't see this as a life threatening situation & put into effect a recall.

Purchased vehicle in nov of 2016. In feb of 2017 I received a message on dashboard that my oil pressure was low. After checking oil we discovered it was 3 quarts low. Though maybe it was not filled all the way by the dealer. On march 27th we brought the vehicle into the dealership because again the oil was 3 qts low. On march 28th the dealer called to say that they had a memo from ford stating something was wrong with the engine and that they would have to replace the entire engine! (now that's scarry) also received in the mail that there is a compliance recall call 17c02 for airbags. In specific the drivers airbag. Parts for this recall will not be available until late second quarter 2017. I feel this vehicle is a disaster, not safe, afraid to drive and that ford should just give me a new one!! Very disappointed with ford. We are ford car buyers and have been for at least 20 yrs.
