Defect Description:
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND OFF. WE LOADED ALL LUGGAGE INTO THE CAR AND CLOSED THE DOORS. BOTH KEYS WERE IN THE DIAPER BAG. THE AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKS ENGAGED AND WE HAD NO WAY TO GET INTO OUR CAR OR CALL FOR HELP, AS OUR PHONES WERE IN THE CAR. THIS TYPE OF DOOR LOCK DOES NOT REQUIRE YOU TO PUSH THE FOB BUTTON. YOU JUST HAVE TO TOUCH THE DOOR HANDLE WHILE KEYS ARE IN YOUR POSSESSION. BUT THE CAR IS NOT SUPPOSED TO LOCK IF THE KEY IS WITHIN THE VEHICLE. WE HAD TO CALL AAA TO GET THE DOOR UNLOCKED. FORTUNATELY OUR INFANT AND DOGS HAD NOT BEEN LOADED YET. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THE LOCKS HAVE ENGAGED IN THEIR OWN WHILE THE KEY IS IN THE CAR. ALSO OF NOTE; THE DOORS DISPLAY A SMALL RED LED WHEN LOCKED NORMALLY. THE RED LIGHT WAS NOT ILLUMINATED WHEN THIS HAPPENED, WHICH MAKES ME BELIEVE THERE WAS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE/MALFUNCTION.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Potential Consequences:
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.

SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
AFTER COMPLETING A TURN AND ACCELERATING TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SLAMMED ON ITS BRAKES AND CUT OFF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. EVERY TIME I TRIED TO ACCELERATE, IT WOULD SLAM VIOLENTLY ON THE BRAKES AGAIN. AS THIS WAS HAPPENING, ALL DRIVER ASSISTANCE WARNING ICONS WERE INTERMITTENTLY FLASHING ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL I COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, ENGAGED PARK, SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE AND RESTARTED AND IT WAS WORKING FINE. I HAD THE DEALERSHIP LOOK AT IT AND THEY CLAIMED IT WAS A LOOSE ELECTRICAL CONNECTION THAT CAUSED IT. A FEW MONTHS LATER, THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. THIS IS EXTREMELY DISCONCERTING, AND IN MY OPINION EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. THANKFULLY IN EITHER INCIDENT MY TODDLER SON WAS NOT IN THE VEHICLE.

SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
NHTSA SHOULD INVESTIGATE THE POTENTIAL FOR SUDDEN FAILURE OF THE BRAKE PEDAL BRACKET MOUNTED ON THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT BULKHEAD ON FORD VEHICLES THAT UTILIZE THE CJ5Z-7825557-AB MOULDING. THIS BRACKET FAILED ON MY 2017 FORD EDGE THAT WAS TWO WEEKS OLD AND HAD 500 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. COPIES OF THE EXPERT MECHANICS' REPORT AND THE REPORT FROM THE METALLURGIST, WHO WAS HIRED TO CONDUCT AN ANALYSIS AND THE FAILURE MODE OF THE BRAKE BRACKET REMOVED FROM MY VEHICLE AFTER THE ACCIDENT, ARE ATTACHED TO THIS COMPLAINT. DURING THE METALLURGICAL STUDY A BRAND NEW BRAKE BRACKET WAS ANALYZED AND WAS FOUND TO HAVE SIMILAR CRACKS. WHEN THE BRAKE BRACKET FRACTURED AND FAILED, THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT DOWN TO THE FLOOR AND I LOST THE ABILITY TO DECELERATE THE VEHICLE. NONE OF THE BRAKE SYSTEM WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. THE KEY-LESS IGNITION WOULD HAVE BEEN DANGEROUS TO USE BECAUSE IT WOULD HAVE SWITCHED OFF THE ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS TO THE AIR BAGS. MY FULL ATTENTION WAS FOCUSED ON STEERING THE VEHICLE WHILE ATTEMPTING TO CROSS MULTIPLE LANES OF TRAFFIC AND GET ONTO THE ENTRANCE RAMP TO REDUCE SPEED. SEE THE ATTACHED POLICE REPORT FOR A SUMMARY OF THE ACCIDENT. A FORD ENGINEERING REPRESENTATIVE HAS BEEN ACTIVE IN THE INVESTIGATION SINCE APRIL AND FAILED TO INCLUDE OTHER FORD AND SUPPLIER PERSONNEL IN THE JOINT REVIEW OF THE DEFECTIVE PART OR SUGGESTED ANY ADDITIONAL TESTING. WHEN I STARTED CONTACTING FORD IN OCTOBER, SUDDENLY THEY INSISTED THAT I HAD TO GIVE THEM THE DEFECTIVE PART, SO THEY COULD CONDUCT THEIR OWN TESTING AND REVIEW. I REFUSED TO HAND OVER THE PART AND OFFERED JOINT REVIEWS AND TESTING. FORD REFUSED MY OFFER AND BASICALLY SAID TO TAKE THEM TO COURT. CONTRARY TO WHAT FORD MAY CLAIM, THE DAMAGED VEHICLE AND DEFECTIVE PART ARE STILL OWNED BY ME, BUT BEING HELD BY MY INSURANCE COMPANY SINCE TESTING. *BF *TR
