NHTSA 5-Star Safety Rating
Brake and powertrain complaints dominate what 2014 Ford Edge owners report, with the brake system drawing the most attention by volume. Owners frequently describe brake pedal sink, the pedal traveling to or near the floor with noticeably reduced stopping power, and a soft or mushy pedal feel. Repairs involving the master cylinder, brake booster, and ABS module come up repeatedly across these reports, and some owners describe symptoms returning after initial repairs. On the powertrain side, complaints cover a range of drivability issues without a single dominant symptom. The third most-reported category involves the backup camera, where owners consistently describe the image displaying upside-down or the screen going black when reverse is selected, sometimes alternating between both faults. Some owners also note the infotainment screen going dark entirely, which takes out climate controls and navigation along with the camera display.

I notice Recall 3 appears to be misfiled — its defect text references 2014 Ford Escape and 2015 Lincoln MKC vehicles, not the 2014 Ford Edge. I'll include it as provided in the input, but the vehicle scoping looks incorrect.
---
The 2014 Ford Edge has 3 recalls, the most serious involving a front drivetrain bracket that can break, cutting power to the wheels while driving or allowing the vehicle to roll away if parked without the parking brake engaged.
These two drivetrain filings describe the same underlying defect and affect vehicles equipped with 2.0L or 2.3L engines with front-wheel drive. The bracket supporting the front drive axle halfshaft can fail, leaving the driver without motive power and, if the vehicle is in park, removing the mechanical hold that keeps it stationary on a slope. There is also a fuel pump recall: the pump can fail without warning, causing the engine to stall unexpectedly.
