2008 FORD EDGE Complaints

TAKATA RECALL'', I RECEIVED A LETTER LAST YEAR ABOUT THE AIRBAG RECALL AND NEVER HEARD ANYTHING ELSE UNTIL OCTOBER 2017 A POSTCARD SAYING THE TAKATA COMPANY HAS FILED BANKRUPT AND THE PARTS ARE NOT YET AVAILABLE. I GET A LETTER IN DECEMBER STATING THAT THE PARTS ARE STILL UNAVAILABLE AND MAYBE BY SPRING 2018 I SHOULD GET MY AIRBAG REPLACED ON THE DRIVER SIDE AND I WAS ALSO INSTRUCTED NOT TO HAVE ANY PASSENGERS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OR THE AIRBAG WILL ERUPT AND COULD CAUSE INJURY OR EVEN DEATH. I WAS READING IN THE NEWSPAPER ABOUT THE SAME AIRBAG IN HONDA AND THE DRIVER AIRBAG ERUPTED AND THE DRIVER WAS KILLED, HOW AM I SURPOSE TO BELIEVE THAT MY PASSENGER SIDE IS ONLY DEFECTED AND NOT BOTH. I ALSO USE MY CAR FOR MY JOB, I TRANSPORT ME CLIENTS TO THEIR OUTING, AND APPOINTMENTS THIS IS CERTAINLY A INCONVENIENCE TO ME AND POSSIBLY NOT HAVING A JOB. THIS SITUATION NEEDS TO BE CORRECTLY BEFORE IT CAUSES A HARDSHIP ON ME AND MANY OTHERS WHO ARE EXPERIENCING THIS RECALL AS TO THIS DATE I HAVE NOT HAD A PROBLEM OR EVERY BEEN IN A ACCIDENT WITH ME FORD 2008 EDGE, I WANT TO FEEL SAFE WHILE I DRIVE AND WHEN I AM DRIVING OTHERS. PLEASE RESPOND TO MY COMPLAINT AND TAKE IN CONSIDERATION THIS MAY HAPPEN TO ME AFTER THE DECEMBER 27TH 2017 DEADLINE TO COMPLAIN.

TAKATA RECALL, I CAN NOT FIND A DEALER WITH THE REPLACEMENT PART. FORD STATES NOT TO LET ANYONE RIDE IN THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE YET I HAVE A FAMILY AND THIS IS MY ONLY TRANSPORTATION!

TAKATA RECALL - I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM FORD MOTOR CITY COMPANY EXPLAINING THAT MY CAR SHOULD NOT BE DRIVEN WITH A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT SEAT UNTIL SPRING OF 2018 WHEN A SAFETY RECALL CAN BE COMPLETED. THIS RENDERS THE CAR BASICALLY USELESS FOR THE APPLICATION WHICH IT WAS PURCHASED.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V384000 (AIR BAGS). 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 (HARROLD FORD, 1535 HOWE AVE, SACRAMENTO, CA 95825 (877) 514-2833) WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE.

WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET AT APPROXIMATELY 30MPH, WE DROVE OVER A STANDARD MANHOLE COVER AND THERE WAS AN IMMEDIATE BANGING NOISE ABOVE THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE WHEEL AND THE SECTION OF THE HOOD CLOSEST TO THE WINDSHIELD WAS PUSHED UP ABOUT 6 INCHES. WE PULLED OVER AND COULD SEE THE STRUT PRESSING UP AGAINST THE HOOD. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A MECHANIC SHOP WHERE WE LEARNED THAT THE ENTIRE STRUT TOWER HAD BROKEN THROUGH THE STRUT SUPPORT DUE TO A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF THE SPOT WELDS THAT WERE CONNECTING THE UPPER STRUT MOUNT CAP TO THE VEHICLE BODY. THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER NOR THE MECHANIC HAD EVER SEEN THIS KIND OF STRUCTURAL FAILURE. WE ARE GRATEFUL THAT WE WERE NOT ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED, AND WE ARE EAGER FOR THE ISSUE TO BE LOOKED INTO FURTHER TO DETERMINE IF THIS IS A STRUCTURAL DEFECT OF THE 2008 FORD EDGE THAT COULD FURTHER AFFECT OUR OR OTHER FAMILIES' VEHICLE SAFETY.

TAKATA RECALL. I RECEIVED NOTIFICATION IN THE MAIL FROM TK HOLDINGS REGARDING AN IMPORTANT LEGAL NOTICE FOR OWNERS OF VEHICLES WITH TAKATA AIRBAG INFLATORS. I CONTACTED WESTWAY FORD IN IRVING TEXAS AS MY FORD EDGE CAME UP AS ONE OF THE VEHICLES IN THE RECALL OF THE AIR BAGS. THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT TOLD ME THE PARTS FOR THE RECALL ARE NOT AVAILABLE AND THAT I WOULD RECEIVE A LETTER FROM FORD WHEN THE PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE. HOW DO I GET THIS ISSUE RECTIFIED ASAP? MY DAUGHTER DRIVES THE VEHICLE.
