The 2020 Ford Edge promised sleek style and powerful performance, but for many owners, it's become a source of frustration and financial burden. A multitude of 2020 Ford Edge problems plague the model, leaving drivers questioning their purchase and wondering if they've got a lemon on their hands.

2020 Ford Edge Common Problems:

According to NHTSA complaints, a significant number of owners are facing issues with:

Transmission woes: Jerking, hesitation, and clunky gear changes are frequent complaints, making driving a nerve-wracking experience.

As one owner put it, “It's like driving a go-cart on a rollercoaster” (Alec, Edmunds review). Others describe the transmission as “scary” and “unreliable” (Tearex63, Edmunds review).

Engine troubles: Leaking coolant, rough idling, and even complete engine failure have been reported by several owners.

One complaint details a $7,000 engine replacement due to a factory defect, leaving the owner feeling “stuck with a hefty repair bill” (David Boudreaux, Edmunds review).

Electrical gremlins: Backup camera problems, dead batteries, soy-based wiring, and electronic hatch door issues plague some 2020 Edges.

As one owner stated, “This ‘feature' is supposed to cut down on fuel consumption, but MORE FUNNY is if you put the car in park it will idle to infinity and beyond” (Don, Edmunds review).

Safety concerns: Faulty rearview cameras, inoperative collision avoidance systems, and sudden braking issues raise serious safety concerns for some owners.

One complaint details a near-miss accident due to a malfunctioning rearview camera (Sarah Miller, Car Complaints).

2020 Ford Edge Recalls and Investigations

These problems aren't isolated incidents. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has documented 3 official Recalls for the 2020 Ford Edge, addressing potentially dangerous issues:

1. Inadequate Lubrication in Rear Drive Unit (Recall #21V011000) – This recall addresses a risk of loss of drive and/or vehicle control due to insufficient lubrication in the rear drive unit, potentially increasing the risk of a crash.
2. Distorted or Inoperative Rearview Camera/FMVSS 111 (Recall #20V575000) – This recall addresses reduced rearward visibility due to a faulty rearview camera, significantly increasing the risk of a crash.
3. Missing or Loose Bolts on Start/Stop Accumulator (Recall #20V550000) – This recall addresses the risk of transmission fluid leaks and potential fire due to missing or loose bolts on the start/stop accumulator.

Additionally, an open Investigation is ongoing concerning the timeliness and scope of Ford's rearview camera recall (RQ21002). This investigation was prompted by concerns that Ford may not have acted quickly enough to address the issue or included all affected vehicles in the initial recall.

When Problems Persist, Lemon Law May Apply

Owners with substantial and recurring problems with 2020 Ford Edge, like those mentioned above, may be entitled to a refund or replacement under lemon law.

These laws vary by state, but generally, if your vehicle has significant defects that can't be repaired after a reasonable number of attempts, you may have a strong case for legal protection.

Beyond Lemon Law: Breach of Warranty Claims

Even if your 2020 Edge doesn't meet the strict criteria for lemon law, you may still be entitled to compensation by filing claims such as:

• Breach of Implied Warranty Claim: Your vehicle should meet certain expectations of quality and performance, and if it doesn't, you may have a case under this claim.
• Magnuson-Moss Claim: Federal law safeguards consumers who purchase products with warranties, ensuring fairness and remedies for defects.
• Breach of Express Warranty Claim: Manufacturers must uphold the promises made in their warranties. If they fail to do so, you may have grounds for this claim.
• Deceptive Practices Claim: If you've been misled or deceived during the purchase or repair process, you may have grounds for this claim.

A skilled attorney can help you navigate the complexities of warranty law and determine if you have a valid claim.
