2008 FORD EDGE Complaints

TAKATA RECALL SAME STORY AS MANY OTHER POSTERS HERE, JUST ADDING TO THE LIST. 2008 FORD EDGE W/ 170,000. SPEEDOMETER QUITS WORKING, LOW TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT, WRENCH LIGHT, AIRBAG LIGHT -- INITIALLY WORKS AS IF IN LOW GEAR (HIGH RPM'S AND LITTLE SPEED), THEN QUITS ACCELERATING ALL TOGETHER -- LOUD THUMP WHEN CHANGE BETWEEN P / R / D. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HWY AT 60 MPH. HAD TO STOP AND PULL OVER AND LET THE CAR SIT BEFORE I COULD GO AGAIN IT TOOK ABOUT 15MINS BEFORE THE CAR WOULD GO AGAIN.

FORD HAD SENT RECALL NOTICE NOT TO HAVE ANYONE IN PASSENGERS SEAT UNTIL AIRBAG IS REPLACED BUT ALSO STATES THE PARTS WON'T BE AVAILABLE UNTIL SPRING 2018. THIS IS TOO LONG TO WAIT FOR A FIX FOR SOMETHING THAT CAN CAUSE BODILY INJURY.

VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE. *TT *TR

TAKATA RECALL - I WAS NOTIFIED OF THIS RECALL ALMOST A FULL YEAR AGO. HOWEVER, THERE HAS BEEN NO RESOLUTION. MORE OFTEN THAN NOT, THERE ARE PASSENGERS IN MY VEHICLE, AND I (WE) WOULD LIKE THE REASSURANCE OF HAVING THIS RECALL COMPLETED SO THAT WE KNOW WE ARE SAFE RIDING IN THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE CALLED THE DEALERSHIPS A FEW TIMES, AND HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT THE PARTS NEEDED FOR THIS RECALL HAVE NOT EVEN BEEN PRODUCED YET. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHEN I MAY EXPECT THIS ISSUE TO BE RESOLVED.

TAKATA RECALL - RECEIVED A LETTER TODAY FROM FORD THAT THE REMEDY PARTS HAVE BEEN DELAYED. THE FIRST NOTIFICATION DATES BACK TO JUNE 2016. FORD'S RECENT REQUEST TO DELAY THE RECALL FAILED, BUT NOW WE ARE BEING NOTIFIED THAT THE PARTS ARE NOT GOING TO BE AVAILABLE AT THE TIMELINE STATED IN JUNE 2016 NOTICE, WITH NO FIRM TIMELINE INDICATING WHEN THEY WILL BE AVAILABLE. MEANWHILE, FORD IS DIRECTING ME TO NOT USE MY PASSENGER SEAT. THIS IS NOT A TIMELY RECALL REPAIR, AND IT IS LEAVING CONSUMERS LIMITED IN HOW THEY UTILIZE THEIR VEHICLES.
