I’ve had some serious problems with my back up camera sometimes it blacks out and turns completely black in the middle of me backing up a few times I almost ran into a car and a person backing up and then when it goes blank all of a sudden I couldn’t see. Also sometimes the picture will turn upside down and get distorted. I was going to get it looked at and I spoke with a friend that has a 2013 Ford edge and said they were having the same problems with their back up camera. So I looked it up online and noticed there’s a recall on all backup cameras on Ford vehicles, it said it started 2015 and up, and it stated that the problems that they were having were the exact same problems that I’m having but when I put my information in, it says there’s no recall on my car so if it’s the specific year, I don’t know, but I’m obviously having the exact same problems with my backup camera and I feel like it’s dangerous and I’m sure I’m not the only vehicle that that’s happened to, especially with them having a recall on their backup cameras. I feel that ford should recall on the backup cameras for more than just the 2015 and up, my model is a 2014 Ford edge sport and definitely is having the exact same problems as the other recalls on their back up cameras

My Ford has the rear view camera which at the time was an upgrade. Unfortunately it has not worked in the last 1 year. It has blanked out and shows upside down. According to the dealership only the 2015 and up had the recall. I understand that in 2014 was the year that back up cameras were required in cars. That is why we paid for an upgrade and purchased hours. And now all cars have them. I like to have ours fixed if at all possible without out of pocket.

Back up camera randomly goes to a blank/black screen. Other times it randomly flips upside down. Many times the picture is grainy and wavy. Completely unreliable. I was told that the cameras just go bad randomly and that it’s my problem. However, it has to be the wiring since occasionally the picture is sharp and occasionally it is right side up. The constant unreliability is a safety hazard.

The back up camera image flipped upside down about five years ago. it will occasionally flip right side up for short while, but then flips back. I recently found online that I'm not alone, and that this seems to be a common problem among Ford Edge owners. Also, I see where there was a recall of 2020 and 2021 Ford Edges with similar back up camera issues. It seems that the problem existed prior to those years already. Is there any chance that the this problem be acknowledged by Ford to me, an earlier and current owner ?

While driving 50-55 MPH the car shuts down. Able to glide, stir/turn the car over to shoulder and put in park. Flashes SEE MANUAL and a wrench shows. Restart the car and drive. Has done this several times, laps from 2 weeks to 2 months, for last 7 months. Two service stations checked and said they can't find anything. Took car to Ford dealership and also say can't find anything wrong. I am 75yrs women and this is dangerous to be on the road!

2014 ford edge backorder prevention, identical to the recall for 2021 & 2022 edge recall for distorted or camera not available NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V151000. This recall should be expanded to include other years including 2014 edge as these vehicles are having the same issue. This happens every day and as soon as you put the vehicle into reverse.

The back up camera video is upside down. It is like this 95% of the time, occasionally it will be in the correct position. Sometimes the screen is all black, but mostly is is upside down making it very difficult to use when parking!

When the vehicle reaches up to 80,000 miles or so, you may hear a clicking or clunking in the rear when turning or ascending. Nowhere listed in the driver's manual is a power transfer unit mentioned. Obviously, the fluid in this part has to be changed every 30,000 miles. Resulting in a very expensive repair if not done so. I am being quoted 2500.00 for the part and installation by a ford dealer. The power transfer unit blew up, has black oil and metal fragments in it.

The contact owns a 2014 Ford Edge. The contact stated while driving 40 MPH and approaching a stop sign, she had to depress the brake pedal to the floor to stop the vehicle. The contact also stated she heard an abnormal noise. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact took the vehicle to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed with needing the brake booster to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired but on 11/8/2021, she began to experience the failure again. The contact took the vehicle back to local dealer, where it was diagnosed with needing the brake master cylinder to be replaced. The master cylinder was replaced 11/22/2021 but failed to fix the failure. The dealer informed the contact that the hydraulic control unit needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired but was pending the repair. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was 64,800 as of 2/14/2022. The contact stated that the hydraulic control unit was not replaced and the vehicle was taken to another mechanic. The right rear caliper piston was repaired. The failure has not reoccurred.

THE VEHICLE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DISPLAYS A "DRIVER DOOR AJAR" WARNING...DESPITE THE DOOR BEING FULLY CLOSED. THE DOME LIGHTS STAY ON, AND AN "ENGINE ON" ALERT APPEARS, AS WELL. TO CLEAR IT, THE DRIVER'S DOOR MUST BE CLOSED SEVERAL TIMES. IT IS OCCURRING MORE AND MORE OFTEN. THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY DURING THIS PROBLEM. IT SEEMS THIS IS A RAMPANT PROBLEM FROM WHAT MY RESEARCH INDICATES...AND SHOULD SEEMINGLY DICTATE A FACTORY RECALL.

I HAVE A FAULTY DOOR LATCH ISSUE. WHEN I TURN MY CAR ON AND START DRIVING, THE DRIVER DOOR AJAR LIGHT WON'T GO OFF AND I CAN OPEN MY DOORS WHILE DRIVING. WHEN I SHUT THE CAR OFF, THE LIGHTS WON'T GO OFF INSIDE THE CAR AND THE CAR CONTINUES TO DING LIKE THE DOOR IS OPEN. THIS WILL CAUSE MY BATTERY TO GO DEAD.

THE DRIVER SAID DOOR WON'T REGISTER AS CLOSED SO THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYS ON. THIS THEN WON'T ALLOW THE DOORS TO LOCK AND KEEPS THE DOME LIGHT ON. HOW DO YOU KNOW IF THE DOOR IS REALLY SHUT OR NOT ? IT MAKES THE CAR ALMOST USELESS SINCE IT THINKS THE DOOR IS NOT SHUT AND HOW DO YOU KNOW IF IT IS OR NOT.

WHEN I CLOSE MY DRIVER DOOR, IT TELLS ME THAT MY DOOR IS AJAR. I KNOW MY DOOR IS CLOSED SO I PUT MY CAR IN DRIVE AND IT TELLS ME THAT MY TRANSMISSION IS NOT IN PARK. I KNOW THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE 2013 FORD EDGE DOOR LATCH ON THE DRIVER DOOR. I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT FORD HAS CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. I HAVE TO CLOSE MY DOOR 3 TO 4 TIMES EVERY TIME I GET IN MY CAR JUST TO MAKE THE INDICATOR STOP DINGING. *TR

"DOOR AJAR" ALERT STAYS ON EVEN THOUGH THE DOOR IS FULLY SHUT. THE ALARM WILL KEEP GOING OFF WHILE DRIVING. IT THEREFORE LEAVES THE INTERIOR DOME LIGHTS ON WHICH CAN LEAD TO THE BATTERY DRAINING OVER NIGHT. UNABLE TO LOCK THE DOORS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. SAFETY ISSUE IF YOU HAVE KIDS OR FOR A WOMAN DRIVING ALONE. THE KEY FOB WON'T BE ABLE TO LOCK THE DOORS WHEN YOU LEAVE THE CAR PARKED.

WE ARE EXPERIENCING HIGH LEVELS OF EXHAUST GASES INSIDE THE PASSENGER CABIN OF A 2014 FORD EDGE. THE EXHAUST FUMES ARE NOTICEABLE WHEN IDLING FOR EXTENDED PERIODS AND ARE MOST PRONOUNCED WHEN ACCELERATING AT HIGHWAY SPEED. EXHAUST GASES CAN REACH HIGH LEVELS SO UNCOMFORTABLE THAT WINDOWS MUST BE ROLLED DOWN TO FLUSH THE PASSENGER CABIN. THIS CONDITION HAS BEEN REPORTED TO A FORD SERVICE DEPARTMENT WHICH INDICATED THAT A METHOD OF REPAIR EXISTS BUT NO MANUFACTURER RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED TO DATE. THE CONDITION IS SIMILAR TO THAT IN THE FORD EXPLORER THAT RESULTED IN REPAIRS TO LAW ENFORCEMENT VEHICLES.

WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK, OUR 2014 FORD EDGE COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. SHE HAD NO CONTROL OF ANYTHING. LUCKILY SHE WAS ABLE TO COAST ONTO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITHOUT BEING HIT FROM THE REAR. IN THE DASH, THE "WRENCH" ICON DISPLAYED WITH A MESSAGE ALERTING HER TO SEE MANUAL. IT HAS BEEN 3YRS TO THE DATE SINCE WE'VE PURCHASED THE CAR AND NOTHING LIKE THIS HAS EVER HAPPENED. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE THAT WAS HAPPENING TO OTHER FORD EDGE'S IN 2013. AS FORD IS ABOUT SAFETY, I'M PERSONALLY OUTRAGED THAT THIS ISSUE IS STILL HAPPENING WITH NO RESOLVE. WHAT IF SHE HAD GOTTEN HURT; WHAT IF SHE HAD HURT SOMEONE ELSE DUE TO THIS ISSUE.
