2016 Ford Edge Suspension Problems

“We are the original owners of the 2016 EDGE. At approximately 48,000 miles, we heard a popping noise in the front suspension which progressed to a loud squeaking sound on bumps and turning. The local dealer could not duplicate the problem. At 54,000 miles, the vehicle started darting on uneven road surfaces (rapid shifts in directional stability, often changing lanes without warning). The local dealer said there were no TSB's on that problem and did not find a problem(!). I raised the front suspension myself and found the drivers ball joint almost ready to dislodge from the control arm. …”

“I'm experiencing what many, many other Ford super duty truck owners have been experiencing since about 2005 commonly known as the death wobble . At speeds above 45 miles per hour, when the truck goes across a rough (washboard) bit of road or a bridge joint, the front end sometimes shakes violently which also causes the steering wheel to shake violently until you can bring the vehicle to a stop, which is not easy. This is a very serious safety issue, which could cause loss of control resulting in injury to passengers as well as other drivers on the road. …”

“My RDU (rear diffrencial unit) went out at 122k miles directly after replacing the fluid at the shop. This repair was extreamly exprensive totalling out at 5k. With still owing 11k on my loan. I feel this is a ford defect that needs to be remediated.”
