2008 FORD EDGE Complaints

THIS HAS BEEN ON THE RECALL PAGE SINCE 2016 AND WE STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED A NOTICE TO GET THIS FIXED. I AM AFRAID THAT IF WE WERE IN AN ACCIDENT THAT WE WOULD BE HARMED BY THIS AIRBAG.

'TAKATA RECALL' FORD IS NOT REPLACING AIRBAGS. I RECEIVED NOTICE 1 1/2 YEARS AGO, PARTS STILL AREN'T AVAILABLE.

GARY SMITH FORD, FT. WALTON BEACH, FL I GOT A RECALL ON MY FORD EDGE, TOOK MY CAR IN AND ASKED FOR AN APT SEVERAL MONTHS AGO. STATED THEY COULD NOT MAKE AN APT. I RECEIVED A TAKATA AIRBAG INFLATORS NOTICES CLASS ACTION 17-11375 (BLS), THE AIRBAGS HAVE NEVER BEEN FIXED, WORRIED IF I AM EVER IN AN ACCIDENT WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN. I CALLED THEM 1-888-470-3583, ALSO 1-888-814-0714. THE AIR BAGS NEED TO BE FIXED BECAUSE OF RECALL, SO FAR NOT DONE. CAN'T FIND DOC FOR RECALL BUT I TOOK IT IN MONTHS AGO, NO CALL FROM THEM OR APT SET UP.

WHILE REGULAR DRIVING OR WHEN IN THE PROCESS OF ENGAGING A STOP SIGN THE CAR ENGINE DISENGAGES FROM THE TRANSMISSION AND LOOSE ANY CONNECTION BETWEEN THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION. IF ONE STEPS ON THE GAS THE TRANSMISSION MAKES A HOLLOWING NOISE AND FAILS TO MOVE, THE ENGINE RPM INCREASE WITH PRESSING THE GAS PADEL BUT THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT ENGAGE AS IF ONE IS LOW ON TRANSMISSION FLUID. IN ORDER FOR THE CAR TO ENGAGE INTO MOTION ONE HAS TO SHUT DOWN THE ENGINE COMPLETE AND THEN RESTART THE CAR WHERE AFTER IT JUST RUN S FINE AS IF NOTHING HAPPENED. WE HAVE ENCOUNTERED THIS SITUATION THREE TIMES THIS YEAR. THE CAR HAS AROUND 58600 MILES ON IT. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION TO BE IN SPECIALLY OF ONE IS ENCOURAGING AND INTERSECTION ETC AND IS VERY SCARY TO DRIVE AT TIMES...THANK YOU. WE CALLED THE FORD DEALER AND THEY TOLD US THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD ANY THING LIKE THIS...THIS ALL HAPPENED ON CITY STREETS AND WHILE THE CAR WAS MOVING OR WHEN COMING TO A STOP SIGN.

"TAKATA RECALL" WAS NOTIFIED OF THE AIRBAG RECALL BY LETTER FROM THE FORD COMPANY DATED JULY 2016. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS THEY HAVE TOLD ME THAT THEY WERE STILL WAITING ON PARTS.

WHILE DRIVING ,IN FULL MOTION, , THE CAR COMES TO AN ALMOST STOP! SCARES YOU TO DEATH, YOU CHECK TO MAKE SURE YOU HAVEN'T ACCIDENTLY PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL , ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH LIGHT UP ,THE CHECK ENGINE, THE LOW TIRE GAGE SYMBOL, THE TOOL LIGHT,, THE SPEEDOMETER STOPS WORKING, . THE CAR REFUSE TO MOVE FORWARD, PLACED IN REVERSE IT MOVES BACKWARD ,THE FORD DEALER IS UNABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM ,CODES DON'T SHOW UP TO HELP IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM. THE DANGER IS IT HAPPENS WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING. ITS BEEN DIAGNOSED AS A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM (VERY EXPENSIVE) BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT IT IS. YOU REPROGRAM IT TEMPORARY, BY TAKING THE POSITIVE BATTERY CABLE LOOSE FOR A FEW SECONDS, THE CAR DRIVES PERFECT UNTIL IT HAPPENS AGAIN, ITS HAPPEN THREE TIMES WITH THIS CAR, I HAVE CALLED THE FORD COOPERATE OFFICE TO REPORT THIS PROBLEM.

TAKATA RECALL -HAVE BEEN WAITING MONTHS TO GET THIS FIXED. SPOKE WITH A DEALER AGAIN THIS MORNING AND STILL NO RESOLUTION IN SIGHT!

TAKATA RECALL NO REPLACEMENT HAS BEEN PERFORMED YET! STILL WAITING... WHAT CAN BE DONE NOW?
