2011 Ford Edge Steering Problems

“We have had a problem with our Ford EDGE going into limp mode while driving. Luckily it has been at low speeds so we were able to pull over and turn off vehicle. Il when this problem happens, it idles very roughly and it like it loses its mind. You cannot accelerate and a wrench pops up on the dash. When you turn off vehicle and turn it back on, it's fine.”

“Tuesday night 1/22/2019, my daughter described that her car had lost all power while she was driving down a small mostly deserted street in our town when she braked and attempted to turn. She had an extremely difficult time braking and turning the car to get off of the roadway. So, that same evening, I decided to see if it happened to me. It was noted that she had just over a quarter tank of gas so I thought maybe her gas gauge was wrong so I filled the car. We drove around 6 miles when it did happen to me as I braked and attempted to make a left hand turn in front of oncoming traffic. …”

“I was driving on the highway with my 3 kids and my wife and as I got off the exit I noticed the car wasn't braking, so as I got to the first stop left I decided to turn left and see if I could fix the problem.

“The power steering does not work properly at low speeds. This is identfied in Ford's TSB 10-21-1 steering the vehicle is very difficult. I'm concerned that the ability to properly control the vehicle at low or high speeds may become a problem. This is a major safety concern. By issuing a TSB, I believe Ford is acknowledging that there is a potential safety problem with the power steering system - a major component of vehicle safety. The advancetrac (stability/anti-rollover system) appears to have failed indicated by the warning lights on the dash. …”

“I purchased a 2011 Ford EDGE limited. Within 2 weeks I noticed the car was veering to the right. I took the car into the dealership and a 4 wheel alignment was performed. I had to take the car back within a few days as the car was still pulling to the right. A 2nd alignment was performed. A few days later I took it back again as the car was still veering to the right. This time the service manager came to me and said I found the fix on the Ford inner company memo. He then performed a sub frame adjustment. …”
