NHTSA Request #1576215 | Ford Motor Company [XXX] I am filing a complaint as suggested by the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Vehicle Safety Hotline Information Center. My 2011 Ford Edge is experiencing the same symptoms as indicated in a safety recall for failure of the backup camera, however my vehicle/equipment is not included in the recall. The camera was replaced and paid for out of pocket in 2021 due to the same issue. I requested that Ford Motor Company provide a Customer Satisfaction Program for my vehicle's back up camera. We paid $1,072.46 ($485.00 for the camera + $587.46 in labor charges) to replace the defective back up camera 1/28/2021 after the technician at Mike Marone Ford in Longmont, CO verified our concern and confirmed that the backup camera was inoperable and had failed. This repair came with a 2 year unlimited mileage parts and labor warranty. When the camera failed again in 2023, I called the same dealership to ask about the repairs and was told the warranty had expired a few months prior and there was nothing they could do other than have us pay to replace the camera again. They performed an inspection and confirmed the camera is inoperable. Shortly thereafter we received SAFETY recall notification 23S23/NHTSA Recall 23V342 for an inoperative rear camera for our 2020 Ford Explorer. I was hopeful that Ford realized the camera was defective and would replace the camera in our 2011 Ford Edge as part of that same recall, as the safety notification stated "The loss of the rear camera image while in reverse increases the risk of a crash". I called Ford Motor Company I was told by the customer service agent I spoke with, that this was a VIN specific recall notice and she could not honor the recall for 2011 Ford Edge. followed up with Ford asking them to reconsider their decision, and was told they could not overrule the initial decision.

There is a CSP 13N02 regading an issue my vehicle currently experincing and is at the dealer for repairs. Im being told Ford issued this CSP for customers with the 2010-2014 Ford Edge but his VIN was not included. I'm being quoted out of pocket almost 2 grand for this repair. My Break pedal goes all the way down to the floor bed having to put a lot of effort in stopping the vehicle. Per the CSP 13N02 If your vehicle is not serviced, the tear will eventually expand and the pedaleffort required to stop the vehicle will gradually increase. However, in all cases, the fundamental vehicle braking system remains functional. In the interest of customer satisfaction, Ford Motor Company is extending. The limited warranty on the brake booster to ten (10) years or 150,000 miles from the warranty start date of your vehicle, whichever occurs first. This is a one-time repair program. If your vehicle has already exceeded the mileage limit, this coverage will last through November 30, 2025.

BACK OVER PREVENTION: SENSING SYSTEM: CAMERA
Have a 2011 Ford Edge Limited purchased new from a local Ford dealer. Seems like Ford has had issues with the backup cameras in all models that cameras have been available since 2007, have resisted and continues not to issue a safety recall. Since 2018 NHTSA have required backup cameras as safety equipment in all vehicles. This camera issues is definitely a safety issue. Ford and its dealer will not addressed it unless they charge and excessive amount for the repair running the gamut from $100 to $800 which may or may not correct the problem. NHTSA needs to require and mandate that the Ford Motor Co declared this as a safety recall issue and correct the problem. All their vehicles, new or old, have been having problems with this backup camera safety equipment.

13N02 – Extended Warranty Coverage on Brake Booster – 2010-2013 Ford Edge & Lincoln MKX. My break booster required repair and when I went to the dealership and called Ford they stated that the vehicle had to have less than 150,000 miles and it is not 10 years old which ever comes 1st. The break boosters are starting to fail on cars with less than 150,000 miles, but older than 10 years. This is causing a driving hazard as the breaks went out while driving.

Rearview camera screen is blank or scrambled 98% of the time. The backup sensor has also stopped working. This does not allow me to utilize the safety features for parking or reversing. This issue has been found in newer models of my vehicle and those are currently being recalled. There is no warning for the rearview camera screen, but sometimes it does say that the camera is not available. This issue has been ongoing for years.

BACK OVER PREVENTION: SENSING SYSTEM: CAMERA
While conducting an at-home SYNC2 software update to version 3.10 via a properly formatted USB flash drive, the component that failed was the Accessory Protocol Interface Module (APIM) resulting in the vehicle's entire Infotainment software, the back-up camera, GPS, Bluetooth, Radio, Climate Controls, essentially all functions through the center touch screen to completely stop functioning. Roughly half way through the SYNC2 update which consisted of having the vehicle in an engine-on idle-state as required by Ford, the center touch screen displaying the update progress bar faded to black and ambient lights were lost. Ford claims that this at-home update could take anywhere from 45-60 minutes. I allotted 90 minutes for the update to complete its processes thinking the screen going black was normal during this update. After realizing the screen didn't come back on after a long while, I knew a bigger problem existed. The vehicle has been inspected by technicians at a local Ford dealership and their conclusion was to spend $1,888 plus labor and taxes to replace the APIM. I do not agree with Ford and their conclusion on this incident given that I had shared the reason as to how this occurred in the first place. No warning was given or error code provided during the day of the incident. I followed Ford's directions for an at-home update and now as a result, my vehicle is not fully functional and Ford is making me pay for it.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN, I HAVE A 2011 FORD EDGE LIMITED THAT I BOUGHT FROM SHULTZ FORD IN WEXFORD PA IN 2014. I HAD WONDERFUL CUSTOMER SERVICE AND COULDN'T ASK FOR A BETTER TEAM TO WORK WITH. [XXX] WAS A GREAT SALESMAN AND TREATED ME LIKE I WAS HIS FRIEND INSTEAD OF A SALESMAN. MY EXPERIENCE WAS THE BEST! IN MARCH OF 2016, I WAS MADE AWARE OF THE APIM MODULE FOR MY 2011 FORD EDGE LIMITED BEING EXTENDED FROM THE ORIGINAL MANUFACTURES DATE. I NOTIFIED SHULTZ IN MARCH OF 2016 ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT THE WARRANTY WAS EXPIRED BY ONE MONTH. IT'S NOT THEIR FAULT BY ANY MEANS, BUT TO ME AND MY FAMILY IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN AND ALSO A LIABILITY. YOU SEE, I HAVE 4 PRECIOUS CHILDREN AND THEY ARE ACTIVE AND ALWAYS PLAYING FROM AGES 2 TO 9 YEARS OLD. IF THEY ARE PLAYING IN THE YARD I CANNOT SEE THEM WHEN I PUT MY FORD IN REVERSE, AND AS YOU KNOW IN THE PAST AND NOW SEVERAL CHILDREN HAVE LOST THEIR LIVES DUE DRIVERS NOT KNOWING IF ANYTHING IS BEHIND THEM. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN FOR ME AND GIVES ME ANXIETY THINKING OF THIS. I TRULY AND HONESTLY FEEL THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL AND NOT JUST AN EXTENDED WARRANTY REPAIR. SO AT PRESENT DAY, MY BACK UP CAMERA CONTINUES NOT TO WORK AND BLACKS OUT AND I DO NOT HAVE ANY IDEA IF ANYONE IS BEHIND ME OR NOT. IT'S VERY DISCOURAGING BECAUSE I LOVE FORD AND THE PRODUCT THAT YOU PRODUCE. ALL I'M ASKING IS THAT YOU WILL REPLACE THIS APIM MODULE BECAUSE FORD NEEDS TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF ITS CUSTOMERS AND GUARANTEE ITS CARS ARE MADE WELL AND FUNCTIONING AS THEY WERE INTENDED. I LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING FROM YOU IN THE NEAR FUTURE. SINCERELY, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
