2008 FORD EDGE Complaints

IT'S BEEN SINCE JUNE 1, 2016 THIS AIR BAG RECALL HAS BEEN IN EFFECT. WHEN WILL IT BE RESOLVED?

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V384000 (AIR BAGS). THE CONTACT CALLED THE LOU FUSZ FORD DEALER AT 636-532-9955 (2 CAPRICE DR., CHESTERFIELD, MO 63005) AND WAS INFORMED THAT PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND WAS NOT ABLE TO CONFIRM WHEN THE PARTS WERE TO BECOME AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

TAKATA RECALL. WE ARE NOT DRIVING THIS CAR BECAUSE THE DEALER CANNOT REPAIR IT BECAUSE OF TAKATA GOING BANKRUPT. WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR 21 MONTHS!

TAKATA RECALL***" RECEIVED NOTICE IN JULY 2016 THAT MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED IN THE TAKATA RECALL, FOR A DEFECTIVE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG INFLATOR. AT FIRST THE NOTICE, AND THEN SEVERAL SUBSEQUENT CALLS TO FORD MOTOR COMPANY HEADQUARTERS, ALL STATED IT WAS SAFE TO CARRY A FRONT PASDENGER. AS OTHERS MONTHS AND MONTHS PASSED WITHOUT ANY NOTICE. I MADE SEVERAL CALLS TO MY LOCAL FORD DEALER OVER THE 18 MONTH PERIOD, REQUESTING AN APPOINTMENT FOR REPLACEMENT. THEY ACTUALLY TREATED ME AS IF I WAS STUPID FOR CALLING WITHOUT HAVING AN OFFICIAL NOTICE TO REPLACE THE PART. FINALLY I RECEIVED ANOTHER NOTICE SAYING PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE IN THE SPRING, BUT ALSO STAYING "DO NOT DRIVE WITH A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT SEAT." FORTUNATELY AND UNFORTUNATELY, WE HAVE NOT USED THE VEHICLE WITH A FRONT PASSENGER. SO, FOR THE PAST 21 MONTHS I HAVE HAD ONLY A 1 PASSENGER VEHICLE, WHICH US IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND HAS ONLY 88,000 MILES ON IT. THIS HAS BEEN AN UNBELIEVABLE, RIDICULOUS SITUATION FOR ALL.

FORD RECALL LETTER 7/16 RE; PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG INFLATOR. CALL TO DEALERSHIP 10/16. STILL NOT AVAILABLE. FORD RECALL LETTER 12/17 RE: SAME ISSUE. STATED STILL NOT AVAILABLE. LETTER REQUESTED PASSENGER SEAT BE UNOCCUPIED TILL PARTS BECOME AVAILABLE. THIS RECALL IS NOW 21 MONTHS OLD AND I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO CARRY A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT SEAT 'TILL PARTS ARE AVAILABLE!!!!! INEXCUSABLE LAWYER SPEAK TO COVER FORD FOR ANY DAMAGES BROUGHT ON BY FAULTY AIR BAG INFLATOR.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V384000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE DEALER (BEACH FORD IN MYRTLE BEACH, SOUTH CAROLINA, 843-626-3666) WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

ORIGINAL NOTICE SENT JULY 2016 (16S26) - RECEIVED 2ND RECALL NOTICE DATED DECEMBER 2017 FOR PASSENGER SIDE (TAKATA) AIRBAG ISSUE THAT COULD CAUSE DEATH OR INJURY & ADVISING NOT TO SIT ON PASSENGER SIDE. PARTS NOT AVAILABLE UNTIL SPRIG 2018 - NOW WE HAVE HEARD NOTHING AND THIS IS AN INCONVENIENCE THAT GOES BEYOND RIDICULOUS. LOOKED UP ON YOUR SITE AND NO AIRBAG RECALL INFO.

"TAKATA RECALL" - THIS VEHICLE IS NOW 10 YEARS OLD. MY PARTICULAR VEHICLE IS IN EXCELLENT SHAPE AND I WANT MY AIRBAG REPLACED ASAP. MY MOTHER OFTEN RIDES IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT....SHOULD SHE BE HARMED BY THIS DEFECTIVE AIRBAG, MY FAMILY WILL SUE FORD AS I AM SURE MANY FORD EDGE OWNERS WILL DO. FIX IT NOW.

I AM HAVING AN ISSUE WITH MY WHEEL BEARING AND THERE IS A RECALL 270760 AND MY VIN # WAS NOT ON THE LIST. MY CAR WAS RUNNING PERFECTLY FINE AND THEN WHEN I GOT NEW TIRES, THEY TOLD ME THAT MY WHEEL BEARINGS WERE WEAK. IN THE BEGINNING, BEFORE I GOT MY TIRES, THE CAR STARTED VIBRATING AND GRINDING. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE AUTO REPAIR TO LOOK AT IT, THEY TOLD ME THAT IT MAY BE THE TIRES, WHICH I DID NEEDED TO REPLACE. SO I DID. THE SOUND DID NOT GO AWAY. FINALLY, THEY DID MORE CHECKING AND TOLD ME ABOUT THE RECALL AND THAT I NEEDED TO TAKE TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP TO GET IT FIXED. I CALLED THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY REFUSED TO DO THE WORK. JERRY'S FORD IN ALEXANDRIA, LITTLE RIVER TURNPIKE.

TAKATA RECALL. MY EDGE IS A 2008. ALL THAT I READ ADVISED OLDER VEHICLES ARE AT A HIGHER RISK. I BELIEVE A 10 YEAR OLD VEHICLES QUALIFIES AS "OLDER". I AM NOT ABLE TO TAKE A SECOND PERSON WITH ME ANYWHERE UNLESS THEY SIT IN THE BACK SEAT. THE LAST INFO I RECEIVED HAS SCARED ME. I AM NOT IN A POSITION TO PURCHASE A NEW CAR AND I FEEL THAT IT IS BEYOND TIME THAT THIS ISSUE IS TAKEN CARE OF. YOU CAN NOT CONTACT FORD ABOUT THIS. I WAS TOLD BY ONE OF THEIR REPRESENTATIVES THAT THEIR EMAIL HAS BEEN REMOVE BECAUSE OF THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS. I PAID FOR A 5 PASSENGER VEHICLE AND IT IS NOW A 4 PASSENGER BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. LOCAL FORD DEALERS HAVE PRETTY MUCH WRITTEN THE ISSUE OFF AND HONESTLY I GUESS IT IS BEYOND THEIR CONTROL TO DO ANYTHING. FORD WON'T TAKE COMPLAINTS. I AM BEYOND FRUSTRATED WITH THIS ISSUE
