2019 Ford Edge Electrical system Problems

“My cars rpm's started randomly jumping which would coincide with a slight jerking feeling when the car shifted gears. First I was told it was my spark plugs and then the coil packs. When both of those were changed and the problem persisted they ran multiple diagnostic tests and came up with nothing. Then my car started to shudder when I put gas in it and then the radio screen and door locks would intermittently stop working and again they found no error codes. Then my pre-collision warning system started going off when there are no cars even remotely near. …”

“While driving at approx. 10 MPH through a parking lot, my vehicle ignition turned off for no explainable reason. Additionally, the instrument cluster went completely dark (no power). I did note that the center auxiliary display remained lit. Once the vehicle coasted to a stop, I attempted to restart the vehicle, at which time it did start, however it was in limp mode. I drove it home (1.5 miles) and turned it off. When I went to take it to the dealer the next morning, the vehicle started and operated normally. …”

“Crime protection vs. Occupant safety for Ford door locking system.

“2019 Ford EDGE st - using parallel park assist feature, I followed prompts on screen, the car backed into another vehicle, damaging the right rear quarter-panel of the EDGE. I had to take over and brake once I realized it was about to hit the other vehicle. No alerts or warnings appeared on the screen. The system shouldn't have continued with the parking steps if it lost its sensors on the space and should have sensed an object in the path. The vehicle also has transmission shifting issues around 25-30 MPH. Nearly stalls before shifting into gear and accelerating. …”

“On december 31, 2019, the powertrain malfunction/reduced power error light came on in the vehicle when I started the car while I was away from home. When I tried to turn the gear shift knob from park to drive it would not turn. After I turned the car off and waited a moment the car was able to start and I rushed home to contact a Ford dealership. When I tried to start again to take to Ford dealership it would not turn again. This time it remained that way. Road side assistance was called to come pick up the vehicle the follow day after the holiday to take to the dealership. …”
