| Sep 2025 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | I wanted to report that on this vehicle Ford has a very unsafe and hazardous horn. I just purchased the car and had to use the horn for the first time yesterday to avoid a car hitting me. I avoided an accident but the other driver said they did not hear my horn. The horn sound is not loud at all and i thought it was defective. I had others listen to it and they all were amazed at how ineffective the volume was. I did some research on line and found i am not the only one that complained about this to Ford. Apparently Ford changed the horn assembly in sometime after 2017 on the Ford Edge to save money. Apparently there is no federal standard for horn decibel levels on automobiles. I travel with small grandchildren in this car and feel this makes it unsafe, as many, many others do after researching this. It is a disaster just waiting to happen. Can you confirm that there are no regulations for automobile horns other than that they work? I just wanted to bring this up as it is dangerous to drove a vehicle like this. Interested in knowing if you have received any other complaints. Most of the research i have done shows owners actually having the horn assembly removed and replaced with one that actually works correctly at their own expense. Seems Ford should be held accountable for this defect. Seems the opted for profit over safety here. Thanks. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

| Jul 2025 | POWER TRAIN | Transmission. Everyone that owns a 2022 ford edge sel have had to either buy a new transmission or rebuild… out of my 4 vehicles with over 100k miles I have never had transmission issue and now I buy this car and it has transmission issues I’m over it. Ford need to recall their transmission | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jul 2025 | POWER TRAIN | At 67,000 miles the vehicle started lurching forward and then at one point the traction control light came on the dashboard and the vehicle stopped itself while driving, as if the brakes were being applied, but we weren’t applying the brakes. After turning the car off and turning it back on, it drove with hesitation and was slipping between gears. Also, the front collision sensor has been coming on upon startup for quite some time. Took the car to the Ford dealership, and they determined that the torque converter was bad in the transmission and suggested a full transmission replacement. Ford agreed to cover $4000 of the $10,000 replacement. This means I would have to pay $6000 out of pocket to get a new transmission. We previously had a 2020 Ford edge and had the same exact problem but it was covered under the powertrain warranty as it only had 58,000 miles. At that time, we did a transmission rebuild at the dealership and the car never drove the same after that, which is the reason we bought the 2022 Ford edge, Not thinking we’d have the same exact problem with the transmission. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jul 2025 | POWER TRAIN | The transmission of the vehicle is said to be completely damaged from a torque converter issue. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

| Jun 2025 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | While driving around a curve the tire locked up and I was unable to turn and we ended up in the ditch. There was no collision. Myself and my child could have been seriously injured in this accident. 6 airbags deployed. Apon inspection the fender liner appears to have ripped off the back of the fender well and lodged into the top of the tire and the top front of the wheel well. Pheonix collision had to cut the liner from the car in order to release the tire. The police believed the accident was cause by the wheel well liner as well as pheonix collision. Vehicle was inspected on the scene by the springfield police. Vehicle was also inspected by Pheonix collision in springfield Illinois. There were no warning lights, messages or other symptoms before the accident. Due to this accident my car has almost $19,000 in damages. The passenger side of the vehicle has a few dents from going in the ditch and the front grill had a few broken pieces. There is no damage to the driver side of the vehicle where the felt liner locked up the tire. I have seen numerous people complain how the liner sags down or tears. I didn't notice the liner hanging down or any damage to the liner prior to the accident. | Crash: Yes Fire: No Injuries: 1 Towed Medical attention | Unknown |
| Jun 2025 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,ENGINE | While driving at a slower speed between 20-40 mph the car will have a power surge as my mechanic called it. The RPMS constantly bounce while driving. It is hesitant to accelerate and is riding rough at a low speed. This is a risk while speeding up in traffic or merging onto the interstate the car is hesitant and can’t keep up with traffic which could cause a bad wreck. I had my vehicle at my local mechanic yesterday. It goes to my local ford dealer for inspection next week and they also told me they’ve had multiple reports of this issues from people. I have no lights on, on my dash and my local mechanic checked all my fuses and they were all good. He hooked a code reader up and there were no codes that showed up. This issue started last week on my vehicle. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jun 2025 | POWER TRAIN | The car was in a front end collision; the airbags did not deploy. Insurance said the car was reparable and fixed it; car was picked up from body shop on 07/19/2024. In May 2025, at only 3 years old, the transmission went out at 95,000 miles and was just replaced. Ford would not admit the accident had anything to do with the transmission going out on a 3 year old car. I was quoted almost $10,000 to replace it, but Ford "helped" and paid $4000 and I was left with the balance of $6200. | Crash: Yes Fire: No Towed Medical attention | Unknown |
