TAKATA RECALL. MY VEHICLE IS EXPERINCEING THE SAME THING LISTED IN RECALL #14V393000 FOR THE SAME YEAR, MAKE, AND MODEL OF MY VEHICLE. HOWEVER MY VIN DOES NOT MEET THE RECALL. THE HALFSHAFT AND LINKSHAFT BECOME DISENGAGED WHILE DRIVING AND POWER IS NO LONGER BE TRANSMITTED TO THE WHEELS. I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN THIS ACCURED FORCING ME TO PULL OF. ONCE IN PARK THE VEHICLE SHAKES. TURN THE ENGINE OFF. WAIT A MINUTE OR TWO AND START IT BACK UP AND IT RUNS FINE. THIS HAS ACCURED 6 TIMES IN THE LAST YEAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD EDGE. WHILE THE CONTACT'S DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING 55 MPH, SHE SMELLED AN ABNORMAL FUEL ODOR. THE DRIVER STATED THAT FUEL SPEWED THREW THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE CONTACT ARRIVED AT THE SCENE, CUT THE FUEL LINE, ATTACHED ANOTHER RUBBER FUEL LINE ONTO THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT, AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME. THE CONTACT CALLED AUTONATION FORD (20777 KATY FWY, KATY, TX 77450, (281) 305-8949), BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED.

WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE CAR, SHE WAS NOT ABLE TO STOP THE CAR IN A TIMELY MANNER, THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR. WE TOOK IT TO THE FORD DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS MOST LIKELY THE MASTER CYLINDER, THEY REPLACED IT BUT THE PROBLEM WAS STILL THERE. THEY THEN REPLACED A HYDRAULIC BRAKE MODULE AND SAID IT WAS OK. WE PICKED IT UP, PAID $781.40 FOR THE REPAIR. WE DROVE IT HOME APPROXIMATELY 1 MILE, AND THE PROBLEM HAD NOT CHANGED, WE ALMOST WENT THROUGH THE GARAGE BEFORE IT WOULD STOP.

ABS, MASTER CYLINDER AND BOOSTER FAILED. PROBLEM IS INFREQUENT SOFT PEDAL. 1. BOOSTER REPLACED UNDER FORD NOTICE 13N02C. BUT SOFT PEDAL PERSISTED OFF AND ON FOR MONTHS 2. NOW DEALER SAYS ABS AND MASTER CYLINDER ARE NOT WORKING RIGHT. 3. DEALER REQUESTED FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FROM FORD AND NO REPLY. $1800 EST FOR REPAIRS 4. CAR IS SITTING AT THE DEALER FOR 2 WEEKS WITH NO RESOLUTION, TODAY IS 7/19/2019. WHY HAVE ALL THREE MAJOR BRAKING COMPONENTS FAILED ON THIS CAR? ONE PROBLEM, BOOSTER, FORD FIXED N/C BUT NOW THEY ARE NO HELP WITH THE OTHER TWO. IS THERE A DESIGN OR MFG PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKING SYSTEM? THE SOFT PEDAL IS VERY INFREQUENT BUT SCARY WHEN IT DOES HAPPEN. DEALER HAD DIFFICULTY FIGURING OUT THE ISSUES AS WE KEPT COMING BACK BUT BY THE TIME WE ARRIVED THE SOFT PEDAL WENT AWAY AND THE DEALER COULD NOT TEST IT. FINALLY WE CAME BACK AND THE PEDAL WAS SOFT AND THEY TESTED IT AND DETERMINED IT WAS THE ABS AND MASTER CYLINDER. DEALER SAYS CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE

MY FORD EDGE SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. IT JUST SHUT OFF. YOU HAVE TO PUT IT BACK IN PARK IN ORDER TO START IT AGAIN. THIS HAPPENED WHILE GOING TO THE IN OUR TOWN STORE. I AM SO RELIEVED IT WAS NOT WHILE ON THE FREEWAY. HAD I BEEN ON THE FREEWAY, GOING AT FAST SPEEDS, IF THE CARS BEHIND ME WERE NOT PAYING ATTENTION I COULD HAVE BEEN HIT, OR WORSE KILLED. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP I FOUND OUT THAT IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM. IT'S TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN 15-0178, ISSUED ON NOV 2015. WHAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND IS WHY THERE'S NOT A RECALL? IS SOMEONE GOING TO HAVE DO DIE FIRST? ATTACHED IS THE SERVICE RECALL. I'VE CONTACTED FORD, SPOKEN WITH EVERGREEN FORD IN ISSAQUAH (WHERE MY CAR CURRENTLY IS) AND FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE ATTORNEY GENERAL HERE IN WASHINGTON STATE. *TR

I HAVE EXPERIENCE BRAKE FAILURE 3 TIMES SINCE NOVEMBER 2018. I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS REPAIRS SUCH AS BRAKE BOOSTER REPLACEMENT, MASTER CYLANDER, FLUSHES,HCU ASSY REPLACEMENT AND MY BRAKES STILL GO OUT. ALL THE WHILE WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR. I AM SCARED TO DRIVE IT ANYMORE

THE DOOR AJAR SENSOR IS SENDING FALSE SIGNALS THAT THE DRIVERS DOOR IS OPEN WHEN THEY ARE IN FACT IT IS CLOSED. THE FAULTY SENSOR TRIGGERS AN AUDIBLE WARNING, ACTIVATES A WARNING LIGHT AND CAUSES A "SHIFT TO PARK" MESSAGE BECAUSE THE COMPUTER MISTAKENLY BELIEVES THE VEHICLE HAS STOPPED (THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE RECENTLY WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT; VERY SCARY). DOME LIGHTS STAY ON, BATTERY IS DRAINED AND AT TIME DOORS UNLOCK AND CANNOT BE MANUALLY RE-LOCKED. THREE YEARS AGO I TOOK MY VEHICLE INTO THE DEALERSHIP TO BE FIXED ($380). THREE YEARS LATER, THE SAME ISSUE IS HAPPENING.

BRAKES QUIT WORKING WHILE EXECUTING A NORMAL STOP. PEDAL TO THE FLOOR. REPLACED ALL BRAKE COMPONENTS AND AFTER A MONTH OF REPAIRS MECHANIC SAID CAR IS NOT FIXABLE THAT I NEED TO JUNK THE CAR. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH I DISCOVERED THAT MANY OTHER VEHICLES WITH THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL HAVE THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE BRAKES FAILED. WHEN THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO BRAKE, THE PEDAL TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD.

THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT A NEW MASTER CYLINDER AND ABS BLEED MOTOR UNIT NEEDED TO BE INSTALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED.
