Cheryl Hurlburt Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 Hi, My car only has 12,000 miles on it and it has been sitting in the dealers shop for 3 days now. The blind spot sensors keep coming on when there is no one around. The automatic rain sensing wipers will not come on when its raining always without switching them to manual and sometimes they come on when the window is perfectly dry. Driving to work the other morning going @ 30mph on a 4 lane road, I was on the inside lane with no one in front of me and there was a car in the outside lane about 3 cars ahead in the other lane and all of a sudden the red lights on the dash from the collision avoidance started flashing and chimes going along with the brakes came on long enough to make me skid little bit. The dealer is saying they can't re-produce the situations and the computer is not showing codes. Is there anyone having any of those problems. I'm scared to drive it or depend on the safety features.

WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 Welcome to the forum, Cheryl, sorry to hear your Edge is experiencing issues. Electronics issues can be particularly annoying! Has the Edge been in any "incidents" (front/rear) recently? Car Wash? Impacted sensors or sensors exposed to too much water at a time (such as a high pressure wash) can fail. Is the battery original to the Edge, any corrosion at the terminals? There is a possibility that incorrect voltages in the electrical system, including bad grounds, can cause all these problems. In some cases, the alternator (or wiring from it) has been the culprit. Since your Edge has low mileage, it is possible the battery is not getting fully charged while it is driven. Check voltages when EVERYTHING is turned off (should be at least 12V, preferably 12.5V or so), and with just the engine running (should be around 14V, preferably 14.5V or a little more when the engine is revved while in PARK).

Cheryl Hurlburt Posted July 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 Hi there, Thankyou for the response. My 2013 was in a carwash on the 17th of June and this crept up just before the 4th of July weekend. I did read something on the web showing that 2010 to 2012 Edges were having problems with water and if I remember right, they had to replace the computers. If moisture is possibly causing this, that makes sense. They keep saying "It didn't show a code" and "we can't reproduce the problem.' I wish I could find out if this is happening elsewhere.

WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 Is your bumper2bumper warranty period over? The dealer should have pulled codes at the very least and checked the sensors for waterlogging/corrosion. Any way you can take it to a different dealer? You can also enlist the assistance of FordService. 2 more posts from you and you will be able to PM them (Tricia). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheryl Hurlburt Posted July 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 I bought the premium warranty package. I was told it was the top of the line. As far as codes, the dealer keeps saying there are no codes and we can't reproduce the situation. Do you think another Ford dealer or authorized dealer would help? Could you please tell me what FordService is? I called Ford direct and they said someone will get back to me and here I sit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
