Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“My wife was going home and traveling approximately 45 MPH. The collision avoidence lights started flashing and the brakes locked up. There were no vehicles in front of me, but she was almost rear ended from the traffic behind. The vehicle never came to a complete stop. We have had the system go off before but not to this extent. The dealer has had no complaints and cannot do anything unless the vehicle acts up.”

NHTSA complaint #10704228, filed 2015-04, 42,350 miles

“<<I purchased this car on 3/31/15, so this may have been occurring prior to purchase, but this is the first time it happened to me.>> when closing the driver's door, I get a door ajar message, even though the door is fully shut. I can get the message to go off if I slam the door repeatedly, but sometimes it takes two or three slams to get it to go off. This can be a serious safety issue when I'm not able to get the message to go off. If it occurs at night, I have to drive with the interior lights in the car on. …”

“Door ajar sensor appeared, took vehicle back to dealer, replaced door latch and door ajar icon disappeared. Automatic door latches are working properly; however, one week later, as I was driving a wrench icon appeared and my car lost power. Imagine the danger involved in driving and loosing power. Called the dealer, left the car again for another repair session. It is my understanding that the door ajar sensor has been very problematic for the Ford EDGE model and there has not been a recall. Add my complaint to the list of many and hopefully something will be done for the consumer. …”

“The navigation is probably the most user unfriendly unit we have ever used and have written three times to correct the bad information in it; I.e. Takes you to the wrong location. A navigational system that cannot be trusted is worse than not having one at all. There are many problems with this navigation system in addition to the other 'sensor' safety goodies on this vehicle. The bliss is a safety hazard; worthless. My sync system keeps blanking out (referred to by everyone as the 'black screen') or a screen that locks up and will not perform any function whatsoever. …”

“The rear driver's side door has a bad sensor. It does not recognize the door as being closed unless the door is opened/closed numerous times, sometimes it will not ever recognize the closure.”
