2015 Ford Edge Electrical System Problems

Back up camera goes blank sometimes and sometimes has lines running through it like rewinding an old VHS tape.

I was driving on the freeway, when All of the sudden the driver seat started to move by itself, and the door locks started locking and unlocking by itself.

In june of 2022, the vehicle was exhibiting symptoms of hard to start especially after refueling, stalling, and poor drivability and the check engine light was illuminated.This vehicle was taken to local ford dealer (dowling ford- cheshire, ct) and diagnosed as a faulty fuel vapor separator (aka purge valve/solenoid) Ford part # f2gz-9d289-a. The dealer performed diagnosis/repair/replacement of this part at a total cost of approximately $600. The problem appeared to have been fixed, but now on 10/15/2024 the same issue re-appeared, and once again the dealer has determined same part has failed and now will cost $729 for diag/repair/replacement. This repair is just outside of the 2 year parts and labor warranty provided by ford and/or dealer. According to my online research this is a well known and common problem with these vehicles as well as many other similar ford vehicles which a recall HAS been issued for, and driver/occupant safety is gravely affected because this issue can cause stalling, poor throttle response, inability to start, and general poor driveability which seriously affects safety and cause a crash or cause driver to be unable to avoid a crash or other danger. Ford motor co and ford dealer refuses to accept responsibility for this issue and will not offer any assistance for repair. As of 10/29/24 the vehicle has not been repaired yet, and vehicle and parts are available for inspection.

My radiator fan will randomly turn on after my car is off and then won’t shut off until my battery is dead.

Wife was on a trip. On April 27 2022 there were no warning lights or messages that she noticed. On arriving at her destination, tried to open rear hatch several times. Also tried button on the dash and attempts to manually pull up on hatch nothing would open it. Crawled into back to retrieve luggage then locked the vehicle for the night. Next morning tried to unlock the passenger door and would not work. Seemed that battery was to low to allow door lock to operate. Called tow service next morning. Service opened door and had to charge battery. Service said hatch not closed sufficient to let entry lights to stay on discharging the battery. At that time, dash button opened the hatch for technician. Ran car enough to charge battery. Wife left for return trip later on April 30 2022, at which time hatch would again not open. This is a safety issue If not able to open hatch to escape the vehicle in emergency or if power is lost. There is also no hatch emergency release for quick escape from vehicle. At this time the problem still exists. It is May 1 2022. I am calling Ford dealer and insurance rep. tomorrow May 2, 2022 to ask about this problem and see if any recalls apply. Please recall because of this issue. Thank you.

The contact owns a 2015 Ford Edge. The contact stated that on several occasions when the vehicle was started, the radio control panel became inoperable, and the defroster failed to operate as needed. The air bag warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where the front interface control module was replaced. The vehicle was repaired but the failure persisted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

While driving approx. 10 MPH engine lost power and went into limp mode on public road. Vehicle engine light, traction control light, emergency service, and warning lights all came on. Vehicle managed to get to a safe off road condition. Vehicle was restarted and condition did not clear. Limp mode approx. 1 mile home. Reading up on situation ford has had Electronic throttle body issues that match all symptoms, Customer Satisfaction Program 16B32. Car is going to ford ASAP for inspection and diagnostic. Before this incident only few problems with the car. Premature battery Failure 2x, and door electronics failing to open windows and lock unlock vehicle.

ANY GIVEN TIME,SPEED,WEATHER,EVEN SITTING STILL CAR LOOSES POWER AND SHUTS OFF. LEAVING ME STRANDED ON HIGHWAYS,PARKING LOTS,EVEN IN MY DRIVEWAY. LOSES COMMUNICATION WITH FUEL PUMP AND FUEL/AIR METERING VOLTAGE. OBVIOUS PARTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED TO NO AVAIL. VERY DANGEROUS WHEN IN HEAVY, HIGH SPEED TRAFFIC.

THE APIM MODULE WENT BAD AND THE SCREEN IS OUT IN THE TOUCHSCREEN IS UNRESPONSIVE TO TOUCH. I CAN'T ACCESS THE ANY OF THE CONTROLS AND FOR CLIMATE OR ENTERTAINMENT OR ANYTHING. I CAN'T EVEN TURN THE DEFROST ON TO TAKE THE KEEP THE WINDSHIELD FORM FOGGING UP. THE OTHER PROBLEM WAS THAT THE THE TAILGATE WILL NOT OPEN AND IT WON'T RELEASE.

MY VEHICLE LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 70MPH. WE HAD JUST LEFT A SCENIC OVERVIEW WHERE THE CAR HAD BEEN SHUT OFF. ACCELERATED UP A HILL AND DROVE FOR A FEW MORE MILES ON FLAT, STRAIGHT ROADWAY AND THE DASH WENT BLACK. THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS ON BUT NOT IN USE. LOST ALL POWER, HOWEVER STEERING WAS RESPONSIVE AND BRAKES WORKED.. DAY TEMP ~85 DEGREES. VEHICLE MILES=48000. STEERED TO SHOULDER, PUT CAR IN PARK AND HIT THE IGNITION BUTTON. THE CAR RESTARTED. CALLED MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT CARS ARE SO COMPUTERIZED NOW THAT THEY NEED TO BE REBOOTED OCCASIONALLY AND TO CALL BACK OF IT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN. PER CARGURUS SITE THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM SINCE 2009. MOST CONSUMERS CITING A DEFECTIVE THROTTLE BOTTLE ASSEMBLY. WHAT'S IT GOING TO TAKE TO GET THIS ON A RECALL? THIS IS A MAJOR DEFECT. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE. ZERO CONFIDENCE.

I JUST PURCHASED THIS 2015 FORD EDGE SPORT ECO IN APRIL 2019 FROM COWLES DEALERSHIP IN WOODBRIDGE VA. I RECENTLY STATED ISSUES WITH THE ELECTRICAL GEAR SYSTEM. THE VEHICLE WAS IN PARK BUT THREE VEHICLE WOULDN'T START AND GAVE A MESSAGE THAT IT WASN'T ON GEAR. I HAD BRING IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND PAY FOR IT TO GET FIXED. THE DEALERSHIP MECHANIC AND BASED ON SOME REVIEWS THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE AND OTHER FORD WITH PUSH START. IS THIS A RECALL?

I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE FOR 9 MONTHS. 1ST OCCURRENCE ON 3/31/19, ACCELERATING TO MERGE ON HIGHWAY AND VEHICLE SHUDDERED, LOST ENGINE POWER AND WENT INTO LIMP MODE. I LIMPED IT HOME AND AFTER ABOUT 10 MINUTES I STARTED THE VEHICLE AND IT DROVE FINE... UNTIL 2ND OCCURRENCE ON 4/4/19... THIS TIME WAS DRIVING ABOUT 35-40 MPG APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION WHEN THE VEHICLE LOST ALL ENGINE POWER AND I COASTED TO THE STOP LIGHT, PUT IN PARK, SHUT OFF VEHICLE AND RESTARTED... IT THEN DROVE NORMALLY. I HAVE BEEN LUCKY TWICE. THE 1ST OCCURRENCE WAS SCARY AS I WAS JUST GETTING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH CARS APPROACHING ME FROM BEHIND VERY QUICKLY NOT KNOWING THAT I COULD ONLY GO ABOUT 20MPH. THE 2ND OCCURRENCE I WAS VERY LUCKY TO HAVE GOTTEN A RED LIGHT JUST AS I WAS COASTING TO THE INTERSECTION. AT THIS POINT I DON'T TRUST MY VEHICLE AND AM SCARED TO DRIVE IT KNOWING THAT AT ANY TIME, I MAY LOSE POWER AND NOT BE SO LUCKY. I HAVE HAD ZERO PROBLEMS FOR 9 MONTHS AND NOW 2 OF THESE ISSUES IN 5 DAYS... WHAT'S NEXT?

TAKARA RECALL I HAVE HAD CONTINUOUS ISSUES WITH MY 2015 EDGE WITH THE DOORS BECOMING AJAR. THE FIRST TIME I WAS STUCK IN BELOW ZERO CONDITIONS, WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO HAVE MY HEART ON CLOSE MY DOORS OR LOCK THEM. IF THAT WASNT ENOUGH, I HAD TO CALL A TOW TRUCK BECAUSE MY CAR BATTERY DIED AS A RESULT OF BEING ABLE TO CLOSE THE DOORS. THIS HAS HAPPENED COUNTLESS TIMES AND NOW AGAIN I HAVE ANOTHER ISSUE BUT THE LIFT GATE IS AJAR. THIS TIME HOWEVER THE CAR IS STILL DRIVING. HOW CAN FORD NOT RECALL THIS? YOU SAY IT ISN'T A SAFETY ISSUE BUT I COULD HAVE FROZE TO DEATH, BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED WHEN I'M DRIVING AND THE DOOR SUDDENLY FLIES OPEN. CORRECT THIS. I WILL END UP FILING A LAWSUIT IF ANYTHING HAPPENS AGAIN. I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR A YEAR AGO. YOU CANNOT JUSTIFY A $40,000 CAR NOT BEING ABLE TO OPEN OR CLOSE MY DOORS OR TRUNK. GET IT FIGURED OUT OR I WILL BE CONTACTING SOMEONE WHO WILL. I'VE BEEN IN SUPPORT OF FORD SINCE I WAS 16. YOU'RE ABOUT TO LOOSE A VALUABLE CUSTOMER AND I'M ABOUT TO SPREAD THE WORD HOW FORD CANT STAND BEHIND THEIR VEHICLES.

WHEN DRIVING MY VEHICLE, THE RPMS SKY ROCKET BUT WON'T CHANGE. IT'S NOT SHIFTING GEARS AS AN AUTOMATIC IS SUPPOSED TO. ALSO, THE ENGINE HAS BEEN MAKING A WEIRD NOISE ON AND OFF AND WHEN WE TOOK IT IN, THEY TURNED IT ON AND PRESSED THE GAS AND SAID IT WAS FINE. NEVER HAD IT ON RECORD OR ANYTHING. THE FUEL PUMP WENT OUT ABOUT 23K AND NOW THE CAR IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AT 50K WITH THE FUEL PUMP OR THE SAME SYMPTOMS AS IT DID BEFORE HAVING THE CAR LUNGE FORWARD OR VIBRATE.

I WAS DRIVING, SLOWER AND TURNED LEFT AND FULL ACCESSORY POWER OFF SHOWED UP ON THE PANEL AND MY CAR DIED. I QUICKLY PUT ON MY FLASHERS AND COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, JUST IN TIME FROM GETTING REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE MAKING THE TURN. I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND WAITED A COUPLE OF MINUTES AND RESTARTED THE CAR.

JUST OVER A MONTH AFTER PURCHASE, MOONROOF BEGAN TO MALFUNCTION. IT WOULD OPEN, BUT NOT CLOSE. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY IN A PARKING LOT.

WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE BETWEEN 45 AND 60 MPH ON CITY STREETS AND RURAL HIGHWAYS, RECEIVED A MESSAGE ON MY SCREEN STATING "THE USB DEVICE IS CONSUMING EXCESSIVE POWER. IT MAY NOT WORK CORRECTLY WITH SYNC."; BUT, THIS IS THE SAME DEVICE I'VE BEEN USING PLUGGED INTO THE SAME USB PORT EVER SINCE I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE ON 07/07/15. I COULDN'T GET THIS MESSAGE TO CLEAR; BUT, SOON AFTERWARDS THIS MESSAGE APPEARED "NAVIGATION FAULT. PLEASE SEE THE TOUCHSCREEN" AND THE TOUCHSCREEN SHOWED THIS MESSAGE "INSERT NAV SD CARD"; BUT, MY NAV SD CARD WHICH IS AN A8 WAS INSERTED. SOON AFTER THIS MESSAGE APPEARED THE SCREEN WENT COMPLETELY DARK BEFORE IT BEGAN "PERFORMING SCHEDULED SYSTEM MAINTENANCE". MY VEHICLE WAS ORIGINALLY IN THE SHOP FOR THIS SAME ISSUE ON 07/19, 08/02 AND 08/04. DURING THE 07/19 VISIT THE FOLLOWING CORRECTIVE ACTIONS WERE TAKEN BY THE DEALERSHIP: S154 DIAG, POWER RESET AND APIM UPDATE TO SOFTWARE LEVEL 15128. FOLLOW-UP VISIT 08/02 INCLUDED THE FOLLOWING CORRECTIVE ACTIONS BY THE DEALERSHIP: S154 DIAG, APIM POWER RESET AND MASTER RESET. WILL HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL MONDAY, 08/07 TO HEAR BACK FROM THE DEALERSHIP REGARDING RECOMMENDED ACTIONS TO RESOLVE THIS ONGOING ISSUE.

MY CAR HAS LOST ALL POWER WHILE DRIVING MULTIPLE TIMES. THE DASH SAYS "FULL POWER ACCESSORY ACTIVE". I HAVE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND RESTART IT. THE LAST TIME I WAS DRIVING 60 MPH ON A BUSY HIGHWAY SO THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION ESPECIALLY IF I WAS SOMEWHERE THAT DIDN'T HAVE A AN AREA FOR ME TO PULL OVER OR HAD I BEEN STUCK IN THE MIDDLE LANE! THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY!

THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM INCLUDING PART OF THE DASHBOARD AS WELL AS THE VIEWING SCREEN, RADIO, CLOCK, NAVIGATION, FRONT/REAR CAMERAS, CLIMATE CONTROL AND TELEPHONE PAIRING ARE FREQUENTLY RESETTING WHILE IN USE SHOWING A MESSAGE THAT THE SYSTEM IS UNDERGOING ROUTINE SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE; HOWEVER, THIS IS OCCURRING MUCH TOO FREQUENTLY.
