2023 Ford Edge Recalls, Ratings & Complaints

Incident: August 25, 2026 · Filed: October 4, 2026

The ClickTight mechanism is what allows the car seat to be moved in/out of the vehicle after securing using the seatbelt of the vehicle. Essentially, this mechanism causes the bottom of the car seat to fold up and allows the parent to unlatch the seatbelt to move the car seat. This mechanism is spring loaded and is supposed to lock/unlock by simply squeezing together two red handles. On my car seat, this mechanism has become stuck and does not allow the mechanism to lock into place & secure the car seat onto the seat belt. I am unsure of what is causing this jam, but I have only purchased this car seat on May 15, 2026 in brand new condition from Amazon. I have not been involved in an accident, nor has the car seat been moved in/out of the car excessively (perhaps 6-7 times at most until the first incident on 8/25/2026).

CAR HESITATES WHEN GIVING GAS PEDAL, ON GOING ISSSUE, DOESN'T HAPPEN ALL THE TIME SPERATIC

On June 20th 2026 while driving my 2023 Ford Edge SEL AWD at approximately 35mph on an active hwy (93 AZ NB in Wickenburg AZ) the vehicle experienced a sudden catastrophic loss of motive power and came to a sudden stop in a jerking motion. The vehicle completely disabled itself without warning in live traffic, presenting an immediate and severe safety hazard to myself and surrounding motorists. I was forced to stay in an immobile position impeding the flow of traffic and could not coast safely out of the way of hazardous traffic conditions and subsequently was almost hit by a semi-truck and another POV. The vehicle was subsequently towed out of the hwy with law enforcement present for safety and the local repair shop provided a quick analysis of transmission failure. About 2 weeks later, the vehicle was towed by AAA to another mechanic and subsequently an authorized Ford Dealership where through diagnostic evaluation and repair. The official scan log revealed a critical internal failure of the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) identified by Diagnostic Trouble Code P0600 (serial communication link failure). This total electronic communication breakdown immediately triggered an un-commanded cascade of secondary transmission performance faults, specifically P0751 (shift solenoid A Stuck off) and P2700, P2701, P2704, P27B2, P27B4 (transmission friction element application time/performance faults). The failure terminated in codes P073D (unable to engage neutral), P07E4 (unable to engage gear 7), and P07E6 (unable to engage gear 8) which locked the powertrain. Crucially, this sudden module collapse and cascading powertrain destruction occurred exactly 81 days following a mandated Factory Recall regarding the PCM was performed by an authorized FORD dealership on my vehicle. The engineering evidence suggests that a corrupted software flash or module disruption during the recall process caused the master PCM to issue erratic hydraulic line pressure commands, starving the trans

I reported this the other day. The screen will go black and stay that way for several minutes. It will then come back on then out again. It's getting a lot worse. I'm an older lady that's a lower leg amputee trying to work and I need this screen for directions as I'm by myself in areas I don't really know at night. It's a serious safety issue. Dealer refuses to fix anything since we bought this, says it's the battery, but battery was checked by 4 different places and is in excellent shape. This is beyond a dangerous issue and it needs fixed immediately.

When driving the screen will black out and be off for several seconds. It does not reform to what was on there before this happened. This has hairbrush at least 60 times since owning this vehicle. Took it back to dealer and they said needs new battery. Took too another dealer they said battery is just fine. This is a serious issue that Ford refuses to fix correctly.

As my wife was driving down the interstate, the car began shuddering. She pulled off, and the shuddering became very bad at about 30 MPH. The car flashed an error code which turned out to be the transmission. 2 Ford dealerships recommended a full transmission replacement for $10,800.
