THE CAR SURGED FORWARD AFTER THE BREAK PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED WHICH RESULTED IN A CRASH INTO A TREE. DAMAGE TO THE FRONT END. THE CAR WAS DRIVABLE TO THE REPAIR SHOP. AT LEAST THREE OTHER INCIDENTS WHERE THE CAR SURGED FORWARD BUT DID NOT RESULT IN A CRASH. TOOK THE CAR TO FUTURE FORD AND THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM SO NOTHING WAS DONE. LATEST EVENT ON 5/22/2015 WHERE THE CAR SURGED FORWARD AND CRASHED INTO A BUILDING. IN BOTH INCIDENTS, WE WERE LUCKY IN THAT NOBODY WAS INJURED. THE SURGES LAST ABOUT 4 TO 5 SECONDS.THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. NOTHING IS DONE TO STOP THE SURGE EXCEPT PUSH HARDER ON THE BREAK PEDAL. FUTURE FORD SERVICE MANAGER STATED NOTHING CAN BE DONE WITHOUT POSITIVE PROOF IN THE ERROR CODES.

How to use these: a complaint is one owner’s report, filed voluntarily and published unverified. Patterns matter more than any single story. If several owners describe the same failure at similar mileage, put that system at the top of your pre-purchase inspection list. Back to the full 2013 Ford Edge verdict →
