Latest Edge visibility complaints

2013 Ford EdgeVisibility & wipers

The rear view camera intermittently does not work. It is unsafe to rely on it for reversing, and fails me for a state inspection in Maine. I had brought it to the dealer, and they stated other models have a recall for this, but my VIN is not listed. It does not give a warning, when it does not work the screen goes black and says 'camera unavailable, see dealer ' This quote is 863.31 before taxes

The "fix" for the rear camera has not resolved the issue. My rear camera worked for a short time after the fix was downloaded, but then stopped working. I don't know what to do to fix it.

2016 Ford EdgeVisibility & wipers

Saw there was a recall for wiper motor defects for Ford Explorer and Escape, per NHTSA Campaign Number 26V117. We had intermittent wiper failure with our 2016 Ford Edge Sport years back, which resulted in Ford repurchasing the vehicle back through the BBB (back in 2019). If carry-over parts / design are similar between the Explorer/Escape & Edge, then you may want to investigate incase the scope of this recall needs to be expanded. Please give me a call if you have any questions. (I'd like to stay anonymous as I am a Ford employee) I think we still have videos of this that we can share too.

2014 Ford EdgeVisibility & wipers

The backup camera malfunctions, and has been doing so for about a year. When the vehicle is put into REVERSE sometimes the camera screen will be black for a few moments, followed by a message that the camera isn't available, and that I should contact my dealer. Sometimes it will come on, but show an upside-down image. There are active recalls for this problem, but I can't seem to get my VIN on the recall list so that this safety issue can be fixed.

2009 Ford EdgeTransmission & drivetrainAirbagsVisibility & wipers

This dealership is a scam, my car isn't even safe to drive because the (PSM) needs to be replaced and none of the modules are communicating but somehow they passed the inspection. I bought this car as is 2/24/26 and 2 days later it started overheating. I took to Big Al's like they recommended and Big Al's replaced the coolant assembly the car was still overheating so Big Al's recommended the electrical shop and I took it to them. Tidewater Auto Electric didn't find any electrical problems. So I took it to Dave's...

Tire and Auto center and they said the PSM needs to be replaced and all of the module because they are no longer communicating with each other. That's not safe and yet carland sold it to me anyway.

2012 Ford EdgeVisibility & wipers

Loss of rearview image from backup camera. Intermittent blank, distorted, or inverted image when in reverse. Sometimes says "loss of signal". This reduces the driver's view of the area behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a backover crash. My 2012 Ford Edge is experiencing the same issues mentioned in 25V572 for the 2015-2018 Ford Edge.

2014 Ford EdgeVisibility & wipers

Ford has a recall on all back up cameras on Ford Edges due to the camera malfunctioning but they only have the recall back to year 2015. My camera has been malfunctioning forever but I did and do not want to pay to get it corrected. The camera shows everything upside down. I feel Ford should fix every camera that has issues, not just from 2015 and beyond.

Is cutting out when going, camera is failing, heated mirrors are not working, 10 codes are showing up on mechanics scan tool. Took to ford dealership they disregarded my concern and only changed differential fluid for a weird sound concern that is already on a recall but didn't include this vin and didn't check for any other diagnosis. Been to 3 shops nobody is figuring it out.

The rear view camera image suddenly became inverted (upside down) and the guide lines normally displayed disappeared. This defect appears permanent. Due tot the camera malfunction it is easy to be disoriented and collide with object behind the vehicle. On several occasions I ran into parking lot dividers and planters.
