NHTSA 5-Star Safety Rating
Electrical issues lead the complaint picture for the 2011 Ford Edge, with owners describing a wide range of failures, power windows not responding, power seat memory settings resetting on their own, side mirrors repositioning unexpectedly at startup, a backup camera displaying a blank image, and a burning wire smell coming from the vehicle. Service brakes generate the second-highest complaint volume, and the pattern is specific: owners frequently report the brake pedal sinking toward the floor with little or no stopping response, often tracing the problem to a failed brake booster or ABS pump. Several owners describe the brake booster failing again within a year of repair. Exterior lighting rounds out the top three reported systems, with owners noting lights malfunctioning or failing outright.
