TAKATA RECALL - AFTER MORE THAN 2 YEAR THERE ARE STILL NO REMEDIES. FORD HAS PASSED MULTIPLE PROMISED TIMELINES FOR COMPLETION. RECENTLY RECEIVED A DOCUMENT OFFERING PARTIAL ($30/DAY) PAYMENT FOR A RENTAL VEHICLE UNTIL THEY CAN DETERMINE HOW TO REPAIR.

CAR WILL JERK,SLIP,BEAT AND BANG. STOPPED PULLING AT A RED LIGHT. GOT TOWED HOME . TOOK OFF BATTERY CABLE FOR 30MINS . STARTED WORKING AGAIN FOR AWHILE. DOES THIS OFTEN,REPAIR SHOPS HAVE NO CLUE EXCEPT FOR NEW TRANNY.IT WILL ALSO TRY TO PULL FORWARD WHILE IN PARK WHEN YOU HAVE THE OTHER PROBLEMS ALSO. IT HAS DONE THIS WHILE SITTING STILL AND WHILE RUNNING 70 ON THE INTERSTATE.

I WAS DRIVING 35 MPH WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES AS I NORMALLY DO THE CAR KEPT MOVING SO I HAD TO APPLY LOT OF PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP THE CAR. I HEARD A UNUSUAL NOISE. I HAD TWO DIAGNOSTIC DONE AND INFORMED THAT IT WAS THE BRAKE BOOSTER BUT WAS NOT COVER UNDER THE FACTORY RECALL BECAUSE IT'S A 2008 MODEL EDGE WHAT A RIPOFF! THE SAME MANUFACTURE DEFECTIVE ISSUE IN THE 2010 IS COVERED. GO FIGURE!. IF I HAD BEEN DRIVING FASTER I WOULD HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO STOP TO AVOID A ACCIDENT.

YESTERDAY, THE VEHICLE DID NOT STOP WHEN IT WAS SUPPOSED TO STOP. I DEPRESSED THE BRAKES, BUT NEEDED TO APPLY EXCESSIVE FORCE AND THEY MADE A HISSING SOUND. THE VEHICLE SLOWLY COASTED TO A STOP. IT WAS A TERRIFYING INCIDENT, ESPECIALLY SINCE I HAVE A 5 YEAR OLD SON. THE FORD DEALERSHIP CONFIRMED THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER HAD FAILED. I SEE THAT THIS IS A RECALL ON THE 2010 AND NEWER EDGE, WHICH USES THE SAME PART. I FEEL THAT THIS SHOULD ALSO BE A RECALL IN THE EARLIER MODELS, AS IT IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP AWAITING REPAIR, WHICH WILL COST ME IN EXCESS OF $500. I AM NOT PLEASED.
