TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD EDGE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO COGGIN FORD JACKSONVILLE (9650 ATLANTIC BLVD, JACKSONVILLE, FL 32225 (904) 747-8996) FOR THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V682000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE FUEL TANK WAS REPAIRED WITH A WAX SEAL. ONE MONTH LATER THE CONTACT NOTICED A LARGE FUEL LEAK FROM UNDER THE FUEL TANK. THE CONTACT CALLED THE DEALER AND GOT A RETURN APPOINTMENT. THE DEALER TRIED TO CHARGE THE CONTACT $1,600 FOR THE FUEL TANK EVEN AFTER THE INITIAL RECALL REPAIR WAS COVERED UNDER A 12 MONTH 12,000 MILE WARRANTY. THE DEALER REFERRED THE CONTACT BACK TO THE MANUFACTURER. THE CONTACT GOT A CASE FROM THE MANUFACTURER WHO STATED KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE RECALL WARRANTY. THE MANAGER AT CUSTOMER RELATIONS AT THE MANUFACTURER STATED THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT THE ISSUE AND HUNG UP ON THE CONTACT. THE RESULT WAS THAT THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN AT THE DEALER FOR TWO WEEKS AND WAS STILL UNREPAIRED. THE CONTACT JUST SPOKE TO THE DEALER TODAY AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NO REPLACEMENT FUEL TANK FOR THE REPAIRS AND TO COME TOW HIS VEHICLE AWAY AND FIX IT HIMSELF WITH A USED PART.

WHEN WERE DRIVING THE CAR IT LOSES POWER(THE TRACTION CONTROL JUST COMES ON FOR NO REASON) , WHEN WE GO ABOVE 70 OUR ABS LIGHT COMES ON, OUR BRAKES RANDOMLY JUST START GRINDING THEN THEY WILL STOP, WE HAVE REPLACED THE BREAKS LAST MONTH.

BATTERY LIGHT STAYED ON DURING A 4.5 HOUR TRIP. AFTER REACHING THE END OF THE TRIP, THE BATTERY CABLES WERE FOUND TO BE CORRODED. NOTICED THETERMINAL PROTECTOR HAS MELTED. USED DISTILLED WATER TO FILL THE ACID LEVEL IN THE BATTERY, SOME WAS SPILLED ON THE POSITIVE BATTERY CABLE CONNECTION(FROM BATTERY TO POWER OF UNDERHOOD FUSE BOX), IT SIZZLED FROM BEING HOT! AFTER FILLING THE BATTERY, THE BATT. LIGHT STAYED OFF FOR ANOTHER 3 HOURS OF TRIP, AND LIT UP AGAIN. HAD THE BATTERY TESTED, BATTERY WAS FOUND TO BE DEFECTIVE. R&R THE BATTERY, BATTERY LIGHT IS ON AGAIN. NO DRIVEABILITY ISSUES, JUST CONCERNED ABOUT, WHAT IS CAUSING RESISTANCE IN ELECTRICAL CHARGING SYSTEM, AND POSSIBLE "FIRE"!

NOTIFIED OF AIRBAG SAFETY RECALL NHTSA 19V-001, SAFETY RECALL NOTICE 19S01 YET, I HAVE ATTEMPTED MANY TIMES TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT WITH PLANET LINCOLN/PLANET FORD IN HUMBLE AND WOODLANDS, TX. WHEN THEY DISCOVER I NEED A LOANER NO APPOINTMENT IS EVER MADE. THEY PROMISE TO CALL BACK WHEN A LOANER IS AVAILABLE AND NEVER DO. FORD AND LINCOLN SEND ME NOTIFICATION REGULARLY THAT THIS NEEDS TO ME TAKEN CARE OF. I HAVE RELATED THE SAME TO THEM. I SUPPOSE THEY THINK THEY WON'T BE HELD RESPONSIBLE IF SOMETHING HAPPENS TO MY AIRBAGS, BUT THEY WILL. I HAVE NAMES, DATES, AND CONVERSATIONS DOCUMENTED.

I WAS DRIVING TO MY MOTHERS HOUSE ON 11/10/19. WHOLE IS WAS DRIVING ON ROUTE 1A MY AIR BAG EXPLODED AND IT CAUSED ME TO CRASH AND IT TOTALED MY CAR. THE NEWS REPORTERS CAME TO THE SEEN IT AIRED FOR 2 DAYS ON CHANNEL 5 NEWS. THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON MY AIR BAGS SINCE 2017 AND FORD DIDN'T HAVE THE PARTS TO MY CAR TO FIX THE ISSUE THEY ALSO DIDN'T HAVE THE PARTS IN 2018 AS WELL AND FORD JUST PLACE ANOTHER RECALL ON MY VECHILE AS WELL IN FEBRUARY 2019 FOR THE AIR BAGS AGAIN. THIS ISSUE ALMOST COST ME MY LIFE. THE TOWN THE ACCIDENT TOOK PLACE WAS IN WALPOLE, MA ON MAIN STREET.

WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE IT LOSES THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE AND ONLY ALLOWS ME TO TRY TO PULL OFF THE ROAD TO A SAFE PLACE WITH THE MOMENTUM OF THE VEHICLE BEFORE IT LOST POWER. IF I AM NOT AT A PLACE WHERE I CAN IMMEDIATELY PULL OFF SAFELY I AM STRANDED IN TRAFFIC. WHEN THIS OCCURS I AM ABLE TO TURN OFF MY VEHICLE FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME AND WHEN I RESTART IT, THE VEHICLE RESUMES NORMAL OPERATION UNTIL THIS HAPPENS AGAIN. IT HAS HAPPENED IN VARIOUS WEATHER CONDITIONS AND AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. WHEN THE ACCELERATION IS LOST THE POWERTRAIN FAULT LIGHT COMES ON.

2008 FORD EDGE SEL....WITH 6F50 TRANSMISSION....165000 MILES.... VEHICLE SHIFTS EXTERNALLY HARD FROM 3RD TO 4TH GEAR WITH A HARD JERK AND LOAD KLUNK, SO MUCH SO THAT IT HAS STARTED CAUSING ME NECK PROBLEMS FROM TENSING UP IN ANTICIPATION OF THE JERK. ALSO 2 TWICE UP GOING FROM PARK TO DRIVE, HAD AN EXTREMLY LOAD NOISE IN TRANSMISSION THAT SHOOK THE ENTIRE VEHICLE AND AS I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE THE RPM ROSE BUT THE CAR BARELY EASED FORWARD AND THE TRANSMISSION SOUNDED AS THOUGH IT WERE IN A BIND. I THEN PUT IT IN PARK, TURNED THE IGNITION OFF, PULLED OUT THE KEY, OPEN AND SHUT THE DOOR AS TO PRETEND I WAS EXITING, THEN PUT KEY BACK INTO IGNITION, STARTED THE CAR, PUT IT IN GEAR (NO PROBLEM) AND ACCELERATED AS NORMAL (NO PROBLEM), EXCEPT WHEN IT SHIFTED FROM 3RD TO 4TH WHICH IS AROUND 25MPH. I HAVE NOT AND DO NOT HAVE ANY LIGHTS ON IN THE INSTRUMENT DISPLAY PANEL NOR DO I HAVE ANY ERROR CODES SHOWING. MACANIC SAYS IT WOULD BE AN EXPENSIVE SHOT IN THE DARK TO START RANDOMLY CHANGING OUT SENSORS AND CHANGING OUT TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM AS IT IS NOT AN ISSUE WITH THE MECHANICS OF THE TRANSMISSION BUT AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE. I'VE ALSO TRIED A HARD REBOOT TO THE CARS ELECTRICAL SYSTEM TO POSSIBLY CLEAR ANY STORED ELECTRICAL ISSUES, PROBLEM STILL EXISTS!!! DEFINITELY A RECALL NEEDED, DUE TO SAFETY ISSUES WHILE DRIVING AND PHYSICAL CONDITIONS THAT COULD ARISE FROM THE TENSING UP IN EXPECTATION OF THE HARD JERK......
