2010 FORD EDGE Complaints

THE RIGHT REAR TAILLIGHT BULB #4157 HAS BEEN REPLACED SEVERAL TIMES. THE SOCKET AND THE PLASTIC ON THE BULB IS MELTED AND DISCOLORED. FORD SAYS THEY ARE NOT AWARE OF ANY PROBLEMS BUT THERE ARE A GREAT NUMBER OF THIS SAME PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET. WITH THIS MUCH HEAT THERE IS THE POSSIBILITY OF A FIRE AND NO FUSE OR CIRCUIT BREAKER HAS BEEN TRIPPED.

I BOUGHT A USED 2010 FORD EDGE LAST YEAR AUGUST FROM CONNICELLI DEALER IN CONSHOHOKEN PA. THE SAME DAY I BOUGHT THE CAR, ON MY WAY HOME I NOTICED THAT THE BRAKE HAS A PROBLEM. TOOK IT BACK AND WAS FIXED. RIGHT AFTER THIS., I WAS PARKING IN A SMALL PARKING LOT , THE CAR ACCELERATED ON HIS OWN AND WENT ON THE GRASS. THE SECOND TIME I WAS PARKING IN FRONT OF MY GARAGE, THE CAR ACCELERATED AGAIN AND I ALMOST DRAG MY SECOND CAR TO THE BASEMENT. THE THIRD TIME, I WAS PARKING IN SMALL PARKING LOT AND IT ACCELERATED AGAIN. ONLY THIS TIME, THE CAR CRASH INTO PARKED CAR AND THE CAR HIT ANOTHER CAR. MY CAR AND TWO OTHER CARS WAS DAMAGED. THANK GOD, NOBODY WAS IN THE TWO CARS. THE 3 CARS LOOK LIKE IT WAS A HIGHWAY AUTO ACCIDENT. I AM NOT SURE IF THE US GOVERNMENT IS GOING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT FORD AND THE ACCELERATION PROBLEM UNTIL WHEN IT KILLS ONE OF THEIR OWN. ORDINARY CITIZEN DO NOT COUNT. FORD COMPANY IS A GIANT, MEGA COMPANY THAT HELPS WHEN IT COMES TO POLITICIANS IN US. I AM SCARED OF THIS CAR. IT ALMOST KILL ME. FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS ON THIS MONSTER HEARTLESS COMPANY SIDE. KILLING INNOCENT PEOPLE BECAUSE OF THEIR POWER IN THIS COUNTRY. FORD COMPANY ARE UNTOUCHABLE. CONSUMERS JUST HAVE TO LIVE WITH IT. THE ONLY TIME YOU PROBABLY GET A SOLUTION WILL BE WHEN ONE OF THE TOPS GET KILLED IN A FORD AUTO ACCIDENT OCCURRING WITH AN ACCELERATION PROBLEM. THEN YOU WILL HEAR IT THE CNN. SHAME ON ALL THAT KNOWS THIS ACCELERATION PROBLEM AND NOT DOING ANYTHING. WILL IT BE DIFFERENT IF ITS YOUR MOTHER, FATHER, WIFE, HUSBAND, DAUGHTER, SON OR GRANDCHILDREN. I AM 56 YEAR OLD AND I HAVE DRIVEN DIFFERENT CARS, NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT UNTIL I BOUGHT THIS FORD EDGE. DO THE RIGHT THING. FORD COMPANY YOU'RE SELLING US A LEMON AND YOU KNOW IT. YOU NEED TO PAY FOR THIS KILLINGS. US FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, YOU'RE OUR LAST HOPE. PLEASE HELP US. *TR

BADLY BURNED REAR TAIL LIGHT SOCKETS. LEFT REAR TURN SIGNAL QUIT WORKING, IN THE PROCESS OF CHANGING THE BULB FOUND THE PROBLEM TO BE A BADLY BURNED LAMP SOCKET. THE ONE ON THE RIGHT IS IN THE SAME CONDITION. THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM BECAUSE IT IS THE BRAKE LIGHT AND TURN SIGNAL LIGHT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKES FAILED TO ENGAGE AND THE BRAKE PEDAL HAD TO BE DEPRESSED NUMEROUS TIMES TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO STOP. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED NUMEROUS TIMES WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE A DIAGNOSTIC WAS PERFORMED, WHICH LOCATED THE FAILURE AT THE BRAKE BOOSTER SYSTEM NEEDING TO BE REPLACED. THE STALLING FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED.THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE APPROXIMATE MILEAGE WAS 200 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 23,000.

TODAY, MY WIFE BROUGHT HER 2010 FORD EDGE IN FOR THE 3RD TIME IN A MATTER OF 3 WEEKS, TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP. THE PROBLEM IS WHILE SHE IS DRIVING, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON AND THE ENGINE WILL STALL LEAVING HER STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC, AFTER A MINUTE SHE CAN RESTART IT BUT IT HAPPENS SHORTLY AFTER THAT. THEY HAD REPLACED A SENSOR ON THE LAST VISIT BUT YET AGAIN TODAY THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON AND IT STALLED SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE SHE COULD GET IT HOME. THIS PLACES MY WIFE AND OTHERS IN TRAFFIC WITH HER IN DANGER AS WHEN THE CAR STALLS THERE IS NO WAY TO WARN OTHER DRIVERS AND COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I DO NOT BELIEVE THE DEALERSHIP HAS ANY CLUE AS TO WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH ONLINE USING GOOGLE AND HAVE FOUND THERE ARE MANY OTHERS OUT THERE WHO SEEM TO HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND NO ONE SEEMS TO HAVE A DEFINITE REASON AS TO WHY. *TR

I PURCHASED A USED VEHICLE FROM BROADWAY KIA. UPON INSPECTION I FOUND THAT THERE WERE A FEW, WHAT APPEARED TO BE COSMETIC DAMAGES TO THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE RIM. I ASKED THE SALES PERSON, [XXX] ABOUT THE DAMAGED RIM BECAUSE IT APPEARED TO BE BENT. HE ASSURED ME THAT THE ENTIRE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED AND THAT THE TIRE/WHEEL WAS NOT COMPROMISED. APPROXIMATELY 2 WEEKS LATER THE TIRE PRESSURE GAUGE CAME ON IN THE CAR. I FILLED ALL THE TIRES BECAUSE AT THAT POINT I WAS NOT CERTAIN ANY ONE TIRE WAS LOW. APPROXIMATELY 2 WEEKS AFTER THAT I HAD TO PUT MORE AIR IN THE RIGHT PASSENGER SIDE TIRE. AT THAT POINT I WENT TO A FIRESTONE TIRES TO HAVE THEM REPAIR WHAT I THOUGHT WAS A LEAK. THEY ADVISED THAT THE TIRE COULD NOT BE DISMOUNTED AND REPAIRED BECAUSE THE RIM ITSELF WAS BENT AND CRACKING AND THAT I WOULD NEED AN ENTIRE NEW WHEEL (TIRE AND RIM). AT THAT POINT I EMAILED ONE OF THE MANAGERS AT BROADWAY KIA TO LET THEM KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON. I WENT IN ON 8/18/13 AND PURCHASED A NEW SET OF TIRES AND RIMS AS I NEEDED TO BE ABLE TO DRIVE. I CONTACTED THE GENERAL MANAGER REGARDING THE ISSUE AND WAS ASKED TO BRING THE CAR IN BUT ONCE HE FOUND OUT THAT I HAD ALREADY PURCHASED NEW RIMS/TIRES HE TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING HE COULD DO. I WAS ADVISED BY THE TIRE REPAIR PERSON THAT HAD I HIT SOMETHING JUST RIGHT OR HAD TOO MUCH PRESSURE APPLIED ON THE TIRE IT COULD HAVE BLOWN. THIS CAR WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE OFF THE LOT OR ALLOW SOMEONE TO DRIVE FOR AN ENTIRE MONTH. THIS COMPANY NEEDS TO BE HELD TO HIGHER SAFETY STANDARDS. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
