2014 Ford Edge Electrical System Problems

When in reverse, the backup camera in my vehicle no longer functions. The view is displayed upside down which is very disorienting or the screen rapidly flashes.

Rear view camera shows an inverted image when drive placed in reverse. It's a safety issue when backing up.

1) my rear view camera is disoriented when car is in reverse. Sometimes the picture on the screen is upside down or doesnt show anything at all. 2) drivers seat belt does not clip in correctly. I have to push the red button in for the seat belt to clip into place.

The contact's father owns a 2014 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while he was driving at approximately 65 MPH, the "door open" alarm and chime was sounding, indicating that the driver's side door was open. The contact observed that the driver's side door was closed. The contact pulled off the highway, stopped the vehicle, and turned off and restarted the vehicle several times and the alarm turned off. The contact stated that her father related that the failure was recurring and additionally, the door locks were unlocking independently, and that the driver's side door keypad was constantly illuminated, causing the battery to be drained. The contact had not taken the vehicle to a local dealer or independent mechanic. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 190,000.

The back up camera quit working about 6 months ago for a short time. then it worked for about a week then stopped working completely. I had a message on the screen stating to bring it to the dealership. At that point the backup sensors were still working. Until about a week ago they quit completely. Now I get a warning to check the sensors but there is nothing stuck in or on the sensors. Now the entire back up system and sensors no longer work at all.

In 2020, I paid a local Ford Dealership to replace my back up camera on my 2014 Ford Edge SEL. The camera had failed and gave the " camera not available" to driver. Worked until July of 2024. In July, the new camera failed. The camera "inverted" the image the driver sees. This makes it impossible to use the camera safely for backing up or hazard during back up. I feel this is a critical safety issue, causing disorientation of the driver while backing up. A call to the Ford dealer got the reply " Your vehicle is not covered under any Ford recall to date. The back-up camera has failed, and we can replace it at your cost"

Backup camera not working properly. Unsure if this falls under any recall headings for safety. I’ve seen many recalls on newer backup cameras but none on this year model. Was displaying upside down or with green lines across the screen and now just completely unavailable. Has not been diagnosed by ford and will not be diagnosed by ford out of my pocket. Can’t afford it. But it is available for inspection. I did clean some corrosion off of some wiring harness connections to no avail. Please advise.

Our backup camera isn't working properly. It sometimes works in reverse and also sometimes comes in while in drive. Most of time it doesn't work. It has not been taken to dealership to be looked at. It's been about a month now. Saw recently about recall on some cameras.

I purchased my 2014 Ford Edge SEL ON JANUARY 2015. I have electrical problems suspicion problems & recall on my Airbags! I have always taken it to a Ford Dealership to have my regular service done…oil charge etc. it those times I have told them the other problems I was having example electrical problem started a month after I bought my vehicle every time they told me nothing is wrong or they replace the battery I have had 4 batteries replaced by Ford Dealerships. I also had recall on my airbags the dealership told me numerous times you do not need to worry about your vehicle it is fine!! After my 100, 000 Mile Warranty ran out I had my vehicle serviced by a mechanic shop. They could the electrical issue was in headlights & dashboard had them replace headlights & lights in dashboard. On 3/19/2023 I was in a bad vehicle accident involved 9 vehicles I was the 5 vehicle. I have neck back & leg injuries. My AIRBAGS NEVER went off! If the Airbags would of worked properly have would not of gotten all my injuries. My Police Officers & Paramedics explained that to me at scene of the accident. Why did Ford not do or repair my airbag recall instead of telling meh car was not recalled even when I received service notification in the mail to get the Airbags fixed

Back up camera works intermittently. Was told by the dealer the parts for the camera were on back order and it could be up to a year before they get them in!!!! Also if the car sits for 2 to 3 days the battery is dead and it has to be jump started. Battery tested at 100%. Everything is off when I get out of the car but something is draining the battery!!!

The backup camera on the car works intermittently switching between blue screens and component not available. This causes a safety risk as I back up. A specific scenario that occured where I had to back out of my garage during Halloween with kids running about the neighborhood. The backup camera screen turned blue requiring me to backup using only the side mirrors hoping someone was not behind the vehicle.

Back up camera is not working properly. This started 1st of the year when it doesn't come on while in reverse. It's been on again off again for months. I should have reported sooner but was hoping it would resolve when following guidelines from the of owners manual. No messages or other symptoms that I'm aware of or appear and it's happening more often. There has been no inspection done. No incidents but definitely not safe to use. When camera does work it blanks out and goes black and message appears call dealership while backing up. Only other issue that I seen reported was our brakes screeching while backing up also. We need to get resolved ASAP.

Rear backup camera has malfunctioned and an error message appears. The screen goes black.

It started with something with the battery saver no dash lights respond to the key turning on of had keys programmed I’ll change the ECU I change the main harness the dash harness the engine harness all from Ford ignition switch steering column module BCM I don’t know I don’t understand I need to get this issue fixed it’s almost been seven months no vehicle I’m still paying a $450 note on it and I can’t get back to work without a vehicle Something got to shake I got no money bring it to no dealer. I’ve changed to batteries since the incidence just because to try it nothings worked if anybody knows any info don’t hesitate to contact me

Door ajar light strays on although door is completely closer, not allowing for door to lock and causing a distracting dinging sound with trying to drive, this also causes the other doors not to lock, as well as kills the battery leaving people stranded.

Window Master Switch and door wire harness on drivers door does not operate. Can not open any windows on the vehicle. Rear windows will not open from rear door switches also. In case of accident windows can not be opened for exit purposes. Can not open windows if stopped by a police officer, whereas, they may feel threatened by occupant in vehicle. Is this a safety feature to be able to open windows. Ford dealer performed a vehicle check on May 20, 2021 and indicated the door harness may need replacement and the window master switch. Ford indicated the vehicle is 7 years old and the part is likely not made by Ford anymore. Ford has no way to correct the issue. There were no warning lights, messages, regarding the stoppage on May 20, 2021

MY CAR HAS COMPLETELY SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY!! A WRENCH ICON LIGHTS UP ON THE DASH BOARD. I CAN BARELY COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BEFORE CAR COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP. I WAS SOOO AFRAID OF BEING KILLED! THE MECHANIC CHECKED AND SAYS THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR. IT HAS HAPPENED 4 MORE TIMES. THE CAR STARTS UP AFTER I CAN PUT IT IN PARK AND DRIVES LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED UNTIL THE NEXT INCIDENT. WHO WILL HAVE TO DIE BEFORE FORD FINDS THE PROBLEM?

'WHEN THIS CONDITION OCCURS, THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP (MIL) OR WRENCH LIGHT WILL ILLUMINATE AND THE VEHICLE MAY ENTER A LIMITED LIMP HOME MODE,' FEDERAL OFFICIALS SAID. 'IN THIS MODE, ENGINE POWER AND VEHICLE SPEED ARE REDUCED, WHILE FULL FUNCTION OF THE POWER STEERING, POWER BRAKING, LIGHTING, AND CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEMS ARE MAINTAINED.
