2008 FORD EDGE Complaints

I WAS SOLD A CAR FROM A CAR DEALERSHIP IN 2016 THAT HAD AN AIRBAG RECALL. MY TRUCK WAS PURCHASED IN 2016 AND THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL HAS BEEN OUT SINCE AROUND 2014. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW THIS COULD HAPPEN WITH PEOPLE DYING FROM THIS DEFECTED AIRBAG AND SEVERELY INJURED. I ALSO HAD A WRECK IN THIS VEHICLE IN 2017 AND I AM GRATEFUL THE AIRBAG DID NOT COME BECAUSE I AM A MOTHER OF TWO CHILDREN. I'VE SENT MY CAR TO FORD ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS FOR MAINTENANCE AND NO ONE TOLD ME ABOUT THE RECALL. IT WASN'T UNTIL JUNE 2018, I WAS INFORMED. THE LETTER STATED IT WAS THE SECOND NOTICE BUT IT WAS ACTUAL MY FIRST LETTER.I WAS OFFERED A RENTAL VEHICLE, THAT I AM CURRENTLY IN NOW. THEY ARE ASKING FOR ME TO RETURN THE VEHICLE BUT MY HUSBAND HAS IT IN ANOTHER STATE. HE IS CO-OWNER OF THE VEHICLE. HE DIDN'T WANT ME TO DRIVE IT AND NEITHER IS HE. IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE WITH MY SMALL CHILDREN. I AM ASKING FOR AN EXTENSION ON THE RENTAL OR SOME TYPE OF REIMBURSEMENT FOR MY SAFETY AND TROUBLES. IVE SPENT OVER 5,000 DOLLARS IN REPAIRS ON A CAR THAT HAD A AIRBAG RECALL WAY BEFORE IT WAS PURCHASED.

THE TRANSMISSION STARTS SLIPPING WITH NO WARNING AND CAR WON'T GO ABOVE 5MPH UNTIL YOU STOP TURN CAR OFF AND WAIT ABOUT 5 MINUTES AND RESTART CAR THE WORKS FINE FOR AWHILE THEN STARTS AGAIN

WELL THIS IS BEEN RECALLED. ON OTHER 2008 FORD. EDGE BUT I THINK MY 2008 FORD EDGE SHOULD BE IN THAT RECALL I RECENTLY BOUGHT MY EDGE FROM A USED DEALER ALL THE SAFETY ISSUES AND RECALLS MY FORD EDGE HAS MY HAS ALL OF THE ISSUES MY FORD EDGE WENT IN FOR TIRE ROTATION AND OIL CHANGE WHEN THEY RETURNED MY CAR I LEFT THE SHOP AND THEN REALIZED THE FRONT TIRE IS VIBRATING WHEN DRIVEN SLOWLY AND TURNS I CALLED FORD TO ASK IF MY CAR WAS ONE OF THE ONES ON THE RECALL LIST FOR BEARING RECALL AND THE SAID NO I KNOW THIS WAS NOT AN ISSUE TILL NOW AND IM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR DUE TO THIS RECALL I FEEL MY CAR SHOULD BE INCLUDED ALSO OF COURSE THE TRANNY IS DEFINITELY NOT WORKING CORRECTLY WHEN ALSO DRIVING SLOWLY IT JERKS TERRIBLY IN TO ANOTHER GEAR. SERVAL TIMES I HAVE AVOIDED CAR ACCIDENTS BY HAVING TO BRAKE ABRUPTLY CAUSE THE CAR TO GET STUCK IN THAT GEAR AND ME HAVING TO SUDDENLY FORCING THE CAR TO PULL OVER TO SIDE OF BUSY 5 O CLCK TRAFFIC AND TURN OFF CAR AND RESTART IT TO ENGAGE THE GEARS TO THE NEXT ONE I HAVE BACKED INTO MY FENCE DO TO THIS SUDDEN JERKING WITHOUT WARNING AND HAVE DAMAGED MY BACK BUMPER DUE TO THIS ISSUE AND THAT MY CAR IS NOT BEEN RECALL DUE TO THESE ISSUES. FIRST TIME I BUY AMERICAN AND FIRST-TIME I HATE MY CAR NOW IM STUCK MAKING PAYMENT ON A CAR THAT HAS SO MANY ISSUES AND UN ABLE TO DRIVE SAFELY I MAKING PAYMENT FOR THE NEXT 17 MONTHS FOR A CAR I CANT DRIVE AND I WILL NEVER BUY AMERICAN AGAIN ALSO THE BRAKES A GRINDING AND SQUEELING AND SINCE I HAVE ABS BRAKES SYSTEM SHOULDNT THE WARNING LIGHT BE WARNING ME BEFORE THEY ACTUALLY START SOUNDING LIKE GRINDING TO PIECES OF METAL TOGETHER I FEEL MY CAR SHOULD BE ONE OF THE ONE THAT SHOULD GET RECALLED FOR ISSUES OTHER CARS HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THE SAME ISSUES AND THIS STARTED SINCE 6/16 /2018 AND HAS BEEN EVERYDAY SINCE AND IM ALSO STILL WAITING TO GET THE AIR BAG RECALL FIXED ITS BEEN OVER A YEAR

TAKATA RECALL - I HAVE RECEIVED SEVERAL LETTERS ABOUT THIS RECALL YET THERE STILL ARE NOT ANY PARTS AVAILABLE. MOST RECENTLY WAS A LETTER FROM THE NYS DMV WARNING OF THE DANGER OF DRIVING MY VEHICLE WITHOUT THE AIRBAG REPAIRED AND THAT I COULD GET A RENTAL VEHICLE UNTIL PARTS ARE AVAILABLE AND MY VEHICLE IS REPAIRED. I CALLED MY LOCAL DEALER TODAY AND WAS TOLD THAT THE PARTS STILL ARE NOT AVAILABLE, THEY SHOULD BE BY END OF SEPTEMBER, AND TO CALL BACK THEN. WHEN I ASKED ABOUT A RENTAL VEHICLE AS INSTRUCTED IN LETTERS FROM BOTH FORD AND THE NYS DMV, I WAS TOLD THAT RENTAL VEHICLES ARE ALSO NOT AVAILABLE. WHEN CHECKING FOR MORE INFO, THERE IS INDICATION THAT MY VEHICLE IS STILL DRIVEABLE. IS IT REALLY SAFE TO DRIVE OR NOT? WHY AM I TOLD TO GET THIS "POTENTIALLY LIFESAVING REPAIR" AND PARTS ARE AVAILABLE IF THEY ARE NOT? IF IT IS A "POTENTIALLY LIFESAVING REPAIR" THEN SHOULD I REALLY BE DRIVING MY CAR?

BRAKES ARE SQEELING AND SOUND LIKE METAL SCRAPING BUT NO INDICATOR HAS COME ON FOR THE ABS TO TO BE REPLACE MUST MODULE NOT WORKING CORRECTLY CAUSE MOT CODING ANYTHING WITH TRANNY JERKING EITHER FORD EDGE IS PEICE OF (XXXX) I NEVER BY AMERICAN AGAIN

TAKATA RECALL FIRST NOTIFIED ON IN OCT.2017. CALLED DEALER WHO SAID NO PARTS AVAILABLE AND HE WOULD CALL ME. I HAVE COMMUNICATED WITH DEALERSHIP DIRECTLY AND STILL NO CALLS. RECEIVED SECOND LETTER IN JUNE 2018. CALLED DEALER, STILL NO PARTS. NHTSA AND TAKATA INDICATED ON WEBSITE FORDOWNER.COM ,THAT HIGHEST RISK VEHICLES INCLUDE OLDER VEHICLES IN AREAS WITH HIGH HEAT AND HUMIDITY, I LIVE IN GEORGIA WHERE MOST OF THE SUMMER CAN BE DESCRIBED IN THIS WAY. IT IS 9/14 AND THE TEMP IS 92 WITH HIGH HUMIDITY. MY CAR IS OLD: 2008. FORD CUSTOMER RELATIONS CENTER GAVE ME A CASE #15376127-D7D7K9 AND TOLD ME NOT TO LET ANYONE SIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. VERY INCONVENIENT TO HAVE TO ASK FRIENDS AND RELATIVES TO SIT IN THE BACK SEAT! ONLINE REPORTS TELL ME SUPPLIES ARE BEING RESTORED. WHY IS FORD NOT TAKING CARE OF ITS CUSTOMERS. WHY IS THERE NOT A LAWSUIT TO HASTEN THESE RECALLS? HOW CAN THE NHTSA HELP ME AND OTHERS WITH THIS RECALL? I AM NOT UPLOADING LETTERS, FOR I AM SURE THAT YOU ARE VERY FAMILIAR WITH THEM.

TAKATA RECALL I HAVE RECEIVED SEVERAL LETTERS ABOUT THE TAKATA RECALL FROM FORD AND FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF MOTOR VEHICLES. UNFORTUNATELY, FORD DOES NOT HAVE MY AIRBAG AVAILABLE. THEREFORE, I AM AT RISK WHEN I DRIVE THE VEHICLE. I NEED TO RECEIVE ASSISTANCE WITH FORD HAVING THE AIRBAG AVAILABLE SO I AND/OR PASSENGERS IN MY VEHICLE ARE NOT AT RISK OF INJURY OR DEATH IN CASE THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS..
