I AM LOSING MONEY AS I USE MY FORD EDGE FOR UBER DRIVING AND CAN NOT USE THE RENTAL FORD IS PAYING FOR TO DRIVE UBER. SO FAR FORD HAS PAID CLOSE TO $3000 FOR THE RENTAL AND MY CAR IS ONLY WORTH $4000. SEEMS THEY SHOULD JUST BUY MY CAR FROM ME THIS IS TAKING WAY TOO LONG AND I'M ABOUT TO GET EVICTED BECAUSE I CAN'T WORK MY EXTRA JOB

MY TURN SIGNAL BULB SOCKET FRIES REPEATEDLY. THIS WILL BE THE FOURTH TIME IN 2 YEARS REPLACING IT. IT BURNS UP THE SOCKET AND MELTS THE BOTTOM OF THE LIGHT BULB. I GOT THE PARTS FROM FORD DEALERSHIP ALSO BUT I HAVE READ ONLINE ANY PEOPLE HAVING ISSUES WITH IT. IT JUST GOES OUT ALL OF A SUDDEN.

TAKATA RECALL BEEN OVER A YEAR AND STILL NO PARTS AVAILABLE FOR THE BOMB IN MY VEHICLE. FORD SAYS IT IS SAFE BUT THERE ARE PEOPLE KILLED AND HURT BY SHRAPNEL FROM BAD AIRBAGS. FORD HAS AN OPEN BOUNTY ON 2006 RANGER PICKUPS FOR THIS ISSUE.

TAKATA RECALL. RECALL HAPPENED JAN 2017. IT'S NOW AUG 2018 AND THERE IS NO FIX FOR THIS ISSUE. IT SEEMS RIDICULOUS AND VERY UNSAFE THAT THE ONLY OPTION I HAVE IS TO PAY FOR A RENTAL CAR WHEN THE COMPANY HAS HAD ALMOST 2 YEARS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. I CALLED FORD ABOUT A MONTH AGO AND THEY TOLD ME THERE IS STILL NO FIX FOR THE PROBLEM AND WON'T BE FOR A WHILE YET.

TAKATA RECALL PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE JIM TIDWELL FORD SAYS IT ISN'T SAFE TO DRIVE. THEY SAY I NEED LONG TERM RENTAL. THEY HAVEN'T GOTTEN ME ONE YET. I CALLED KROUSE FAMILY FORD AND WAS TOLD IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE UNTIL RECALL I TOLD THEM I FEARED MY SAFETY AND WAS PUT IN HOLD PERMANENTLY. I JUST BOUGHT CAR 6 MONTHS AGO AND NO HELLO FROM CAR MART EITHER.

ONE WEEK PRIOR TO EVENT-THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON WHILE STARTING CAR. I TURNED IGNITION OFF AND RE-STARTED CAR IGNITION-DROVE FINE WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT UNTIL 1 WEEK LATER: PULLED INTO A 1 MILE DRIVEWAY TO GET TO MY WORK OFFICE SUITE (FLAT ROAD) DRIVING ABOUT 30 MILES, CAR CAME TO A STOP WITHOUT WARNING-AT THAT TIME ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. I PUT IT INTO PARK/WITH EMERGENCY BRAKE AS IT BEGAN ROLLING NEAR AN OFFICE SUITE-THE STEERING WHEEL WAS FROZEN. HAVE HAD SAME STALLING ISSUES WHILE DRIVING CAR SINCE PURCHASING THE CAR AT 18,000 MILES-EACH TIME TOLD DIFFERENT THINGS ARE CAUSING IT BY DEALER, I.E. TSS/OSS SENSORS, EBT, REFLASH POM WHICH I HAD FIXED. WITH CURREN EVENT- ARE IN PROCESS OF DIAGNOSING IT.

THE NHTSA SAYS VEHICLES ARE BEING PRIORITIZED BASED ON THE LIKELIHOOD OF DANGER. FACTORS INCLUDE THE AGE OF YOUR CAR AND WHERE YOU LIVE. THIS IS DUE TO THE FACT THAT THERE'S A LINK BETWEEN MALFUNCTIONING AIR BAGS AND LONG-TERM EXPOSURE TO HEAT AND HIGH HUMIDITY. I AM IN ZONE B BUT I AM A 5 MINUTE DRIVE FROM SOUTH CAROLINA. SO MY QUESTION IS DOES THAT MEAN BECAUSE I AM 5 MILES FROM SOUTH CAROLINA, IS MY FAULTY AIRBAG SAFER THAN THE VEHICLES WITH THE FAULTY TAKATA AIRBAGS IN SC, ZONE A ? I FIRST RECEIVED NOTICE JULY, 2016. NOW FORD HAS RENTED ME A VEHICLE (SARDINE CAN) BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW WHEN REPLACEMENT PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE. THE FACT THAT THEY KNEW LONG BEFORE THIS VEHICLE WAS AVAILABLE FOR SALE THAT THE AIRBAGS WERE UNSAFE, IS TANTAMOUNT TO CRIMINAL NEGLIGENCE. IF THEY AREN'T CALLED TO TASK THEY WILL CONTINUE ENDANGERING LIVES IN ORDER TO INCREASE THE VALUE OF THEIR STOCK. MADE IN AMERICA USED TO MEAN SOMETHING, NOT ANYMORE. AT APPROXIMATELY 20,000 PUTTING THE CAR IN DRIVE OR REVERSE IT MAKES SOME CLUNKING NOISE AND HESITATES BEFORE IT ENGAGES. ON AN INCLINE THE CAR ROLLS BACK AND YOU HAVE TO WORK GAS AND BRAKE TOGETHER, THIS IS A AUTOMATIC, NOT A STICK SHIFT. AT 71 I DO NOT APPRECIATE THAT FORD HAS BEEN PLAYING RUSSIAN ROULETTE WITH THE LIVES OF MY MOM, DAUGHTER, GRANDDAUGHTERS & GREAT GRANDCHILDREN, THIS VEHICLE HASN'T BEEN SAFE FROM THE DAY IT ROLLED OFF THE ASSEMBLY LINE.

AT 90,000 MILES THE TRANSMISSION STARTED SLIPPING TOOK IT TO THE TRANSMISSION SHOP DID A DIAGNOSTIC CHANGE THE TRANSMISSION OIL AND NOTHING CAME ON THE TEST THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT IT SLIPPED AGAIN IN A COUPLE WEEKS I HAD TO PULL OVER PUT IT IN PARK STARTED AGAIN AND IT WENT. AFTER EIGHT MONTHS OF WORKING GOOD YESTERDAY SAME SLIPPING HAPPENED AGAIN TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC DID A DIAGNOSTIC AND AGAIN CAME OUT OK THIS IS CRAZY. PLANNING A TRIP AND HE SAYS I WOULDN'T TAKE THE CAR BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN THE TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO BE SLIPPING BUT THERE'S NO RECALLS ON IT AND READ A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS WHY IS THERE NO RECALL?
