“I purchased this used 2015 Ford EDGE at 26000 miles 2 months ago. Test drove hills, freeway, etc. Once I purchased I notice right away on the way home excelerating at about 35 MPH on a curvy road to my house the steering felt stiff and hesitated. The car went the direction I needed it to go but something is off. I drive this route everyday and this happens 90% of the time at curves. I have also now noticed since I am more aware, the steering wheels sometimes knocks when I turn tight, I will be taking it in to see if they can diagnose. …”
NHTSA complaint #11221477, filed 2019-06, 26,000 miles“I was starting to drive on the busy street at about 30 MPH when of the sudden the vehicle slowed down to maybe 5 MPH within 2 seconds, mind you my foot was pressing the gas pedal at the time the car lost speed, light comes on, something to do with hill assistance, then the wrench light come on, luckily this happened just before the intersection and I decided to go to the left turn lane. I was able to pull to the side of the road at a 2-3 MPH speed, turned the car off and back on with no problem, drove it home. …”
NHTSA complaint #10896786, filed 2016-08, 4,750 miles“Multiple times the car suddenly lost all power. Engine shuts off, power steering gone and all the warning lights on the dash light up. This has happened on expressways, city streets and country roads, each time impeding the flow of traffic and people don't respond well to me when this happens. I have come very close to being hit by other cars. Each time I have pushed the starter button to shut it off even though it is not running and I wait a few minutes. I then restart the car and it seems to function again, for a while. …”

On january 19, 2016, the ABS break system went out and it took 2 wks to fix.this happened when I was 4 hours from my home and had to leave it at a dealership then drive 4 hours back to get it.
