2010 FORD EDGE Complaints

CAR HAS HAD A "DRAGGING" FEELING. HAS BEEN MAKING INTERMITTENT NOISE BUT UNABLE TO IDENTIFY PROBLEM. FINALLY HAD A DIAGNOSIS OF PTU FAILURE TO THE TUNE OF $2000.00. MY LAST "MADE IN USA" CAR. HERE I COME HONDA.

1 WEEK AGO NOTICED A HISSING SOUND COMING FROM WHAT SEEMS TO BE THE BREAK PEDAL AREA WHILE APPLYING PRESSURE TO THE PEDAL AND ALSO WHILE TOTALLY ENGAGED AND VEHICLE IS AT A COMPLETE STOP. YESTERDAY THE BREAK PEDAL HAS BECOME VERY HARD TO PRESS AND BREAK POWER IS VERY POOR AND HESITANT. ALSO HISSING STILL EXIST. THINKING MAYBE BREAK BOOSTER FAILURE OR VACUUM FAILURE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE HESITATED TO STOP. THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE LINES NEEDED TO BE FLUSHED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000.

WHILE DRIVE ALONG WITH NORMAL FLOW OF TRAFFIC, I CAME TO A WELL KNOWN STOP SIGN APPROACHING ONCOMING TRAFFIC IN BOTH DIRECTIONS. WHEN I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP, THE VEHICLE DIDN'T HAVE ANY BRAKES AND DID NOT EVEN ATTEMPT TO STOP. THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS HARD AND THERE WAS A LOUD WHOOSHING SOUND. AFTER REPEATED ATTEMPTS TO USE THE BRAKE PEDAL AS I USUALLY DO, THE SAME THING KEPT HAPPENING. IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT RATE OF SPEED OR ROAD CONDITIONS. IT IS A CLEAR SUNNY DAY. THE BRAKES SUDDENLY WENT OUT.

THE INTERIOR DOME LIGHTS WILL NOT TURN OFF. THE ONLY WAY TO TURN THEM OFF WAS TO PULL THEM DOWN AND UNPLUG THEM. THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH NUMEROUS FORD EDGE'S AND FORD SHOULD RECTIFY IT.

AT ABOUT 116,000 MILES ON MY 2010 FORD EDGE SE AWD, I STARTED NOTICING THE SMELL OF GAS. WHEN I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN TO GET CHECKED OUT I LEARNED THAT MY GAS TANK WAS LEAKING. THIS IS A 2010! AND WHAT MAKES ME EVEN MORE FURIOUS IS THAT THE 2007-2008 FORD EDGES HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT NOT MINE. ESTIMATED COST OF REPAIRS ARE $3,000.

I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING A HISSING NOISE WHEN DEPRESSING THE BRAKE. A FEW TIMES, THE BRAKE HAS BEEN DIFFICULT TO DEPRESS WHEN TRYING TO STOP THE VEHICLE. BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS HAVE BEEN REPLACED AN IS NOT THE PROBLEM.

BRAKES STARTED MAKING A VERY LOUD "HISSING" SOUND AND OCCASIONALLY FELT LIKE THE PEDAL WOULDN'T DEPRESS. HAD THE CAR INSPECTED AT DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THE BRAKES WERE FINE. TODAY (MONTH LATER) THE BRAKES STILL MAKE THE "HISSING" SOUND AND THE BRAKE WON'T DEPRESS WITHOUT REALLY STEPPING ON IT HARD. IT FEELS LIKE THE CAR WILL NOT STOP. I DRIVE MY KIDS IN THIS CAR AND IT TERRIFIES ME - THIS IS CLEARLY A PROBLEM THAT CAN LEAD TO FATAL RESULTS. I AM SURPRISED TO FIND OUT THERE IS NO RECALL ON THE BRAKE BOOSTER, WHICH IS THE PROBLEM; GIVEN THE INCIDENTS WITH GM AND TOYOTA I AM SHOCKED FORD HAS MADE NO EFFORT TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. I AM NOW NOT SURE I WILL PURCHASE A FORD AGAIN IN THE FUTURE IF I CAN'T TRUST THEY WILL ISSUE NECESSARY SAFETY RECALLS.

BACK DOOR WAS NOT LATCHING AND UNABLE TO CLOSE. MY VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED FROM MY EMPLOYMENT TO MY RESIDENCE AS THE DOOR KEPT POPPING OPEN. FORD FIXED THE LATCH FOR 330.00, THE DEALER SPECIAL ORDERED A NEW LATCHING SYSTEM FOR MY 2010 FORD EDGE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD EDGE. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE FORWARD, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED WITHOUT WARNING AND EXCESSIVE FORCE WAS REQUIRED. THE FAILURE CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO CRASH INTO A POLE. THE AIR BAGS HAD NOT DEPLOYED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE AND WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 97,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.
