2008 FORD EDGE Complaints

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V024000 (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. CREST FORD IN FLAT ROCK, MI WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND WAS NOT ABLE TO CONFIRM WHEN THE PARTS WERE TO BECOME AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT RECENTLY RECEIVED A POSTCARD FROM TK HOLDINGS, ALERTING HER THAT THEY FILED FOR BANKRUPTCY. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

TAKATA RECALL - AS OF TODAY THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN UNABLE TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE AIRBAGS DUE TO THE FAILURE OF THE MANUFACTURER TO PROVIDE THE REPLACEMENT PART. I AM FEARFUL OF AN UNINTENDED INFLATION OR FAILURE TO DEFLATE IN THE INSTANCE OF A CRASH.

TAKATA RECALL PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN MAY OF 2016, RECALL WAS ISSUED IN JUNE, I HAVE BEEN ON A WAITING LIST SINCE APPROX AUGUST.

TAKATA RECALL - MY VEHICLE RECALL HAS BEEN ON-GOING FOR ALMOST TWO YEARS. I HAVE NOT RECEIVE NOTICE AS TO WHEN IT WILL BE FIXED. WAITING FOR REPAIR, THIS SHOULD BE IN A TIMELY MATTER BEFORE THE VEHICLE GETS INTO AN ACCIDENT.

I WENT TO A FORD DEALER IN DOVER DELAWARE IN JANUARY 2016 TO HAVE THE FUEL TAN K INSPECTED FOR LEAKS. IT PASSED BUT WAS NOT UPDATED IN THE SAFECAR RECALL DATABASE.

I CALL BOB THOMAS FORD AND THEY HAVE NO AIRBAGS FOR THIS VEHICLE AND TOLD ME JUST TO WAIT UNTIL FORD DECIDES WHAT TO DO. THE COMPANY TAKATA HAS GONE BANKRUPT, SO NOW WHAT DO I DO. WHAT IS FORD GOING TO DO?

TAKATA RECALL. DEALERSHIP HAS NOT TAKEN ACTION TO ADDRESS THIS RECALL AND MY AIRBAGS HAVE NOT YET BEEN REPLACED ALTHOUGH IT HAS BEEN OVER A YEAR SINCE I WAS NOTIFIED OF THE RECALL.

TAKATA RECALL - I CONTINUE TO GET THE RUN AROUND FROM MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP ABOUT WHAT STEPS FORD IS TAKING TO ADDRESS THIS RECALL. DESPITE NOTICE OF THE RECALL IN JULY 2016, FORD CLAIMS IT HAS NO IDEA WHEN ANY REMEDY OR REPLACEMENT PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE DESPITE THE DOCUMENTED RISK TO HEALTH AND SAFETY THIS PROBLEM POSES. NOR CAN FORD OFFER ANY ALTERNATIVE SOLUTIONS. IF THE RECALL OF THESE DANGEROUS PARTS CANNOT BE COMPLETED FORD SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO COMPENSATE OWNERS AND FIND A WAY TO PROVIDE THEM WITH SAFE VEHICLES. THE LACK OF A FIX TO THIS PROBLEM 1.5 YEARS (OR MORE) AFTER IT BEING PUBLICLY ANNOUNCED IS NOT ACCEPTABLE.

TK HOLDINGS IS ASKING TO CONTACT DEALERSHIPS TO REPLACE THE AIRBAGS YET WHEN I CALLED THEM THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THERE IS NO PARTS FOR THE REPLACEMENT
