2010 FORD EDGE Complaints

TAKATA RECALL: WE STILL HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO HAVE THESE AIRBAGS REPLACED AS THE DEALER AS WELL AS FORD SAYS THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. HOW MUCH LONGER? SHOULD WE WAIT AND COMPLAIN AGAIN AFTER A CRASH AND AN INJURY OCCURS?

TAKATA RECALL FORD ISSUED A RECALL, 16S26, IN JULY 2016 FOR 2010 FORD EDGE PASSENGER FRONTAL AIRBAGS IN "ZONE A". IT IS NOW FEBRUARY 15, 2017, AND STILL NO PARTS AVAILABLE TO REPAIR/REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE AIRBAGS (I JUST GOT OFF THE PHONE WITH THE DEALERSHIP). NOR COULD THE DEALERSHIP EVEN PROVIDE AN ESTIMATE OF WHEN REPAIR/REPLACEMENT MIGHT OCCUR. EVIDENTLY, FORD DOES NOT YET HAVE ENOUGH OF A COMPELLING REASON TO EXPEDITE THE RECALL PROCEDURES OR TO PROVIDE ALTERNATIVES FOR THE RECALLED VEHICLE OWNERS (MY WIFE OWNS A 2011 HONDA CR-V THAT HAD A SIMILAR AIRBAG RECALL AND SHE WAS PROVIDED WITH A FREE RENTAL VEHICLE WHILE THE DEALERSHIP WAITED FOR AIRBAG REPAIR/REPLACEMENT KITS). FORD HAS FLATLY STATED THAT NO ALTERNATE VEHICLES WILL BE PROVIDED. PERHAPS THE NHTSA NEEDS TO PROVIDE FORD WITH ONE OR MORE COMPELLING REASONS, SUCH AS MANDATORY PROVISION OF FREE RENTAL CARS AND/OR ESCALATING FINES, TO EXPEDITE FORD'S AIRBAG RECALL PROGRAM. IRONICALLY, MY FAMILY NO LONGER STATES "I CALL SHOTGUN" FOR SEATING ASSIGNMENT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT OF MY FORD EDGE; THEY NOW STATE "I CALL SUICIDE". IS THIS TO BE MR. ROSEKIND'S LEGACY?

I RECENTLY HAD TO REPLACE POWER STEERING LINES IN MY VEHICLE DUE TO METAL CORROSION RUSTING THROUGH THE LINES AND CAUSING THE FLUID TO LEAK OUT, THIS ISSUE HAS REPEATEDLY CAUSED MY CAR TO GO OUT OF ALIGNMENT AND HAS RUINED MY TIRES. THE POWER STEERING WAS NOT WORKING PROPERLY TO THE POINT OF BEING DANGEROUS BECAUSE OF IT. BECAUSE MY CAR IS ONLY 7 YEARS OLD I AM WONDERING IF THIS CORROSION WOULD BE COVERED BY SOME SORT OF WARRANTY OR IF THIS IS UNDER RECALL? ESPECIALLY SINCE MY CAR IS UNDER RECALL FOR GAS TANK AND AIR BAG CORROSION. I HAVE REPORTED THIS TO FORD AS WELL. THE REPAIR JUST OF THE POWER STEERING LINES COST ME $500. I STILL NEED TO REPLACE ALL FOUR TIRES AS WELL. THIS DEFECT IS DANGEROUS. METAL PARTS SHOULD NOT BE CORRODING ON CARS.

SUDDEN ENGINE FAILURE AT 65,000 MILES WHEN DRIVING AT ABOUT 45 MILES PER HOUR. THE FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN SERVICED SAID THERE WAS A LOSS OF ANTIFREEZE AND THE ENGINE OVERHEATED AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I WAS STRANDED ON THE AIRPORT ROAD WITH NO FEEDER AND HAD TO CALL 911. THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHTS TO GO ON OR ANY WARNING. WHEN READING OTHER POST ON INTERNET THE CAR BEHAVED JUST AS THOSE WHO HAD CONFIRMED THAT THERE WAS A WATER PUMP FAILURE. THIS WAS THE FORD DURATEC ENGINE WHERE THE WATER PUMP IS DRIVEN WITH THE TIMING CHAIN AND IF IT FAILS THE WATER ENTERS THE OIL SYSTEM AND DESTROYS THE ENGINE.

TAKATA DIRS 16E-042, 16E-043, 16E-044. RECALL NOTICE FROM JUNE/2016. TRYING TO SCHEDULE SERVICE FOR THE RECALL AND THE DEALER SAYS THERE ARE NO PARTS AVAILABLE YET. IT'S BEEN 6 MONTHS SINCE THE RECALL.
