There was a constant burning smell off and on over the last year coming from under the hood. Some days it was stronger than others. Engine compartment was hot when hood was opened. Would the engine catch fire? The coolant level would drop/leak randomly causing car to sputter or vibrate while sitting at traffic lights, etc... Traffic behind me was ready to move, but my car wasn't moving at the normal rate. It wasn't safe. Warning lights would come on, but not always. Sometimes it would throw a code and sometimes it wouldn't. For the first several months, we didn't know what exactly was going on with the vehicle. Unfortunately these cars are still being sold with this problem. We bought one of them from a dealership and got stuck paying for a new engine. Clearly, someone ditched this car before the engine replacement became their problem. We aren't the only ones out there. Contacted Ford dealership for remedy or help with no luck. We went to our local mechanic for help and they gave a quote for engine replacement that was reasonable. Was told engine needed to be replaced for $6,500. Since, we had recently bought the car, we went ahead with replacement but were sick about it.

and cause in your description. am writing to formally report a recurring and dangerous issue with my 2015 Ford Edge, which is currently driven by my 16-year-old daughter. Despite reporting this problem multiple times, it remains unresolved and poses a serious safety risk. The backup camera activates while driving at high speeds, distracting the driver and creating a hazardous situation. The steering becomes unusually tight, making it difficult to maneuver the vehicle safely, especially during lane changes or emergency corrections. These issues are not only persistent but occur while the vehicle is in motion at highway speeds, significantly increasing the risk of an accident. I have video documentation of the backup camera activating while driving, which I am willing to provide upon request.

Intermittently the seat heater for the drivers seat activates on its own. Goes to full heat getting extremely hot. Cannot initially turn down or off with the button on dash. Have to turn off vehicle and let it sit. Start vehicle - seat heater still on full. Sometimes the off/start sequence has to be repeated several times, before the button will work, lowering or turning off the seat heater. Incidents are increasing in frequency. Now taking more off/starts to get the seat heater to deactivate. Last incident. 5 off/start sequences over an 8-10 minute period.
