2008 FORD EDGE Complaints

TAKATA RECALL. I WAS JUST ADVISED I MIGHT HAVE A RECALLED AIRBAG. FORD NEVER ADVISED ME.

TAKATA RECALL I SMELL GAS COMING FROM MY CAR EVER SINCE GOT FROM CAR LOT AUTOMAXX AND THE TRANSMISSION IS ACTING UP AS WELL AS THE SUSPENSION TOO. IT'S OVERHEATING ON ME AND HAVEN'T EVEN HAD THE CAR 2 MONTHS. THE RECALL HAS BEEN ON GOING O.N THIS CAR FOR YEARS THEY'RE IS STILL 2 RECALLS OPEN ON MY CAR. I NEVER SHOULD OF BEEN SOLD THIS CAR BECAUSE NEVER HAS GOTTEN THE OK FROM THE FORMAL PROBLEMS ITS HAD IN THE PAST. NOW I'M SCARED GOING TO CATCH ON FIRE WHILE DRIVING

THE CAR LOST POWER WHEN ENTERING THE FREEWAY. IT WAS MISFIRING AND WAS NOT ABLE TO KEEP UP WITH THE SPEED LIMIT. THE REPAIR SHOP FOUND THE COIL WAS MELTED AND CRACKED. THE ENGINE MISFIRED #6 CYLINDER. THE PCM MODULE DID NOT SHUT DOWN THE CYLINDER TO PREVENT THE MISFIRE, WHICH RESULTED IN THE DESTRUCTION OF THE IGNITION COIL, AND PCM MODULE. THE NEW PCM MODULE HAD TO BE PURCHASED FROM FORD AS NO AFTER MARKET EXISTED. THE REPAIR BILL WAS OVER TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS. WE WERE TOLD THIS COULD HAVE STARTED A FIRE. HOPING THE NEW MODULE WORKS PROPERLY.

VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY FEELS LIKE IM CONSTANTLY BEING REAR ENDED UPON PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL AND ACCELERATING AT HIGHER SPEEDS/GEAR. HAD A HARD THUMPING BANG INTO GEAR LIKE THE TRANSMISSION BANGS INTO GEAR. SHIFTS FINE ON NORMAL ROADS BUT ONLY NOTICE ON THE HIGHWAY ESPECIALLY IN TRAFIIC WITH STOP GO SHIFTING. VERY SCARY TO DRIVE AND AFTER IT HAPPENS IT FEELS LIKE IT HAS NO POWER ACCELERATING. MECHANIC CANT DIAGNOSE DUE TO NOT HAVING ANY CODE STORED. SEEMS LIKE MANY EDGE OWNERS EXPERIENCE THIS SAME ISSUE AND CANT SEEM TO FIX THIS. HOPEFULLY FORD HAS THIS RECALL ADDRESSED VERY SOON. THE ONLY REASON WHY I BOUGHT THIS VEHICHLE WAS SAFETY AND IT SEEMS EVERY RECALL ISNT LIVING UP TO THAT STANDARD.

GOING 55 MPH. ALL OF A SUDDEN CAR LOSE POWER. ENGINE SOUNDS LIKE IT'S IN NEUTRAL BUT SHIFT LEVER IS IN D. IF YOU PRESS GAS, ENGINE SPEED SHOWS ON THE TACH BUT TRANSMISSION NOT RESPONDING. MADE A VERY HARROWING CONDITION AS I TRIED TO FIND A SAFE PLACE TO PULL OVER. WHEN SHIFTED FROM D TO P, VERY HARD JERKING MOTION THAT SHOOK THE CAR VIOLENTLY, TRANS MAKES A VERY HARD CLUNKING NOISE, AND AS IF WANTS TO SEPARATE FROM THE ENGINE. SAME RESULT WHEN SHIFTED FROM P TO R, AND P TO D. CAR IS CURRENTLY PARKED WAITING FOR MECHANIC TO DIAGNOSE. DON'T HAVE MONEY TO TAKE IT TO OVERPRICED DEALER. FROM WHAT I CAN SEE FROM BLOGS, FORUMS, BOARDS, ETC, ON THE INTERNET LOOKS LIKE NOT AN ISOLATED CASE.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V384000 (AIR BAGS). THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT SPOKE WITH SUNLAND FORD (15330 PALMDALE RD, VICTORVILLE, CA 92392) WHO ADVISED THE CONTACT TO CALL THE MANUFACTURER TO BE PLACED ON A WAITING LIST. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND STATED THAT PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT SHE WOULD BE NOTIFIED WHEN PARTS BECAME AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

TAKATA RECALL WE RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF A TAKATA PASSENGER SIDE FRONT AIRBAG RECALL FROM THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY IN JULY OF 2016. WE WERE TOLD BY OUR LOCAL DEALER THAT NO AIRBAGS WERE AVAILABLE. WE HAVE CHECKED MULTIPLE TIMES IN THE TIME SINCE THEN AND HAVE BEEN TOLD REPEATEDLY THAT NO AIRBAGS ARE AVAILABLE. LAST YEAR WE WERE TOLD THE AIRBAGS WERE EXPECTED IN THE FINAL QUARTER OF 2016. WE HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT THE AIRBAGS ARE STILL NOT AVAILABLE AS OF 10/2017. A CALL TO THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY IN 11/2016 WAS ANSWERED WITH JUST DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE AND WE WILL LET YOU KNOW WHEN AIRBAGS ARE AVAILABLE. WE REALLY WISH TO HAVE THIS AIRBAG REPLACED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS INJURED. WAITING OVER A YEAR TO HAVE THIS REPLACED SEEMS LIKE AN UNREASONABLE LENGTH OF TIME TO WAIT FOR THIS REPAIR.

TAKATA RECALL: I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN JULY OF 2016 AND HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY FURTHER COMMUNICATION AS OF OCTOBER 2017. THIS SAFETY ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED AT ALL IN 15 MONTHS!

WHEN THEYING TO ACCEPT ON A CITY STREET THE CAR WOULD NOT GO. ODO ERROR CAME UP. SPEEDOMETER WOULDN'T MOVE AT ALL. CAR WAS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED. WRENCH LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. CAR MOVES A LITTLE BIT BUT DID NOT RUN NORMAL AND CLUNKED HARD WHEN PUT IN PARK. MECHANIC SAYS IT'S A SENSOR ISSUE THAT'S COMMON IN THIS CAR.

I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM FORD IN JUNE OF 2016 THAT ONE OF THE AIRBAGS IN MY CAR IS DEFECTIVE. MY CAR HAS A TAKATA AIRBAG WHICH IS KNOWN TO SEVERELY HARM OR KILL THE OCCUPANT OF THE VEHICLE IF THE VEHICLE SHOULD BE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT WHERE THE AIRBAG IS DEPLOYED. IT HAS BEEN 15 MONTHS SINCE THE INITIAL NOTICE WAS SENT AND NO REMEDY HAS BEEN MADE AVAILABLE TO ME. I WOULD LIKE A REMEDY ASAP.
