TAKATA RECALL - I AM SO WORRIED ABOUT DRIVING MY CAR BECAUSE OF THIS RECALL THAT I RECEIVED FROM JULY 2016. THE DEARLSHIPS DO NOT HAVE THE NEW AIRBAGS AND ITS BEEN OVER A YEAR I HAVE BEEN WAITING. IT IS CAUSING ME GREAT ANXIETY. PLEASE HELP ME GET MY NEW AIRBAG.
TAKATA RECALL: I RECEIVED A LEGAL NOTICE FOR OWNERS OF VEHICLES WITH TAKATA AIRBAG INFLATORS ON 10/23/2017. I PROCEEDED TO ENTER MY VIN NUMBER AT AIRBAGRECALL.COM AND WAS ADVISED THAT INDEED MY VEHICLE HAD DEFECTIVE AIRBAGS AND WAS PART OF THE RECALL. I THEN PROCEEDED TO CONTACT JIM HUDSON FORD DEALERSHIP,1201 WEST MAIN STREET, LEXINGTON, SC AT (803) 359-4114 ON 10/24/17 AT 3:00PM ATTEMPTING TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT FOR MY VEHICLE AIRBAGS TO BE REPLACED AT NO COST. I WAS TOLD THAT THE DEALERSHIP HAD NOT RECEIVED AND WILL NOT RECEIVE REPLACEMENT AIRBAGS, AND THAT THEY HAD NO FURTHER INFORMATION. I CALLED 1800-327-4236 AND COULD NOT GET A LIVE AGENT ON THE PHONE AND THE SYSTEM HUNG UP ON ME. WHAT DO WE DO TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE AS THIS IS HIGHLY DANGEROUS?
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER (OLATHE FORD LINCOLN, 1845 E. SANTA FE STREET, OLATHE, KS 66062) AND THE SOFTWARE WAS UPDATED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 78,000.
TAKATA RECALL I RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER FROM FORD JULY 2016. 15 MONTHS LATER IT STILL HAS NOT BEEN REPLACED. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS THAT RIDE IN THIS VEHICLE. PLEASE HELP IN THIS MATTER THANK YOU.
TAKATA RECALL - I HAVE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION LETTER FROM FORD, DATED JULY 2016. SINCE THEN DESPITE MY FREQUENT CHECKS WITH THE DEALER, I AM ALWAYS TOLD THAT THE PARTS ARE NOT YET AVAILABLE FOR A FIX/ REPLACEMENT. MY DAUGHTER IS NOW DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. I AM AFRAID IT IS NOT SAFE.

TAKATA RECALL MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER 16S26 NHTSA RECALL NUMBER 16V384 RECALL STATUS: RECALL INCOMPLETE, REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE
TAKATA RECALL. I FILED A REQUEST WITH BILL CURRIE FORD FOR REPLACEMENT OF MY TAKATA AIRBAGS OVER A YEAR AGO. THEY STILL ARE SAYING THEY DO NOT HAVE PARTS IN STOCK FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE. THEY SOLD ME THIS VEHICLE IN 2014 KNOWING THAT THIS WAS A PROBLEM AND DID NOT REVEAL THE PROBLEM AT THE TIME. FOR OVER A YEAR THEY HAVE FAILED TO RESPOND TO REPLACING MY AIRBAGS EVEN THOUGH I HAVE REQUESTED IT 3 TIMES. THEY ARE FINALLY REPLACING THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG NEXT WEEK BUT ARE SAYING THEY STILL DO NOT HAVE PARTS FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE.
ONCE WE LEARNED OF THE RECALL FOR THE AIRBAGS WE CONTACTED THE DEALER IMMEDIATELY. WE WERE TOLD THAT THEY WOULD REPLACE THEM IN 6 MONTHS. THAT WAS OVER A YEAR AGO AND NOTHING HAS HAPPENED. WE'VE ASKED NUMEROUS TIMES (ANDERSON FORD) IN KINGMAN AZ AND WERE TOLD THEY WOULD CALL US. IT'S BEEN YEARS. NOW WHAT? AS A RESULT AT THIS TIME THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IS TURNED OFF AND MY PASSENGERS HAVE NO PROTECTION.
TAKATA INFLATORS I HAVE RECEVED 2 RECALLS ON THIS I SCHEDULE APPOINTMENT TO GET IT FIXED THEN I GET A LETTER SAYING PARTS ARE NOT YET AVAILABLE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. WHAT SHOULD I DO !
TAKATA RECALL. I WAS JUST ADVISED I MIGHT HAVE A RECALLED AIRBAG. FORD NEVER ADVISED ME.
TAKATA RECALL - ACTIVE RECALL AS OF JUNE 1, 2016. NO REMEDY AVAILABLE. MANUFACTURE RECALL # 16S26. NHTSA RECALL # 16V384
HEATER ON DRIVER SIDEBAR BLOWS EXTREMELY COLD. LUKE WARM ON PASSENGER SIDE. MULTIPLE REPORTS OF THIS.
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.
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
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.

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!
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.
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.
WHEN VEHICLE IS RUNNING BUT STATIONARY, DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL COMPLETELY CAUSES A LOUD HIGH PITCHED WHISTLING SOUND. DURING NORMAL OPERATION, DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL CAUSES A HISSING SOUND. THE ISSUE HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED AS A LEAK IN THE BRAKE BOOSTER. VEHICLE IS 9 YEARS, THREE MONTHS IN SERVICE, AND HAS 50,000 MILES. FORD SAYS NOT INCLUDED IN THE BRAKE BOOSTER SERVICE EXTENSION.

HOWEVER DUE TO HIS TIGHT SCHEDULE, HE CANNOT FIT MY CAR INTO HIS REPAIR SERVICE. FORD ISSUE A RECALL 13N02 IN 2016 FOR BRAKE BOOSTER PROBLEM. HOWEVER IT ONLY COVERS CARS 2010-2013. THERE ARE PLENTY OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE REGARDING THE SAME PROBLEM FOR CARS MADE IN OTHER YEARS. IT IS A SYSTEMATIC PROBLEM THAT RELATES TO THE DESIGN OTHER THAN MANUFACTURING PROCESS RELATED TO BATCHES. A SYSTEMATIC RECALL SHOULD BE DONE BEFORE ANY CUSTOMER GETS INTO A FATAL SITUATION.

MADE A TURN OFF INTERSTATE INTO A BUSY ROAD, MY VEHICLE JERKED AND LOST ITS ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. LEAVING ME IN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WITH CARS FLYING AROUND ME TO AVOID HITTING ME. I MANAGED TO MAKE IT INTO A PARKING LOT. I HAD A FRIEND CHECK THE VEHICLE AND WITH THE HOOD UP HE HAD ME PUT IN REVERSE AND IT LOOKED LIKE THE MOTOR WAS GOING TO JUMP OUT OF THE VEHICLE, SAME HAPPENED IN DRIVE. HE PUT HIS COMPUTER ON AND A CODE FOR THE DRIVE SPEED SENSOR WAS PRESENT. THE CODE WAS CLEARED AND THEN NOTICED THE SPEED AND RPM GAUGES WERE INACCURATE. THIS HAPPENS ON OCCASION. UPON RESEARCH I SEE THIS SENSOR HAS A RECALL ON IT BUT NOT FOR MY YEAR 08 EDGE. PLEASE RECALL ASAP. THIS CAN CAUSE SOME SERIOUSLY BAD ACCIDENT WHEN YOUR VEHICLE LOOSES ITS ABILITY TO ACCELERATE WHEN IN TRAFFIC. I FEAR THIS WILL HAPPEN AND MY LIFE IS IN THE LINE. FORD IS AWARE THERE IS A APPARENT PROBLEM NOTED BY OTHER YEAR MAKE MODEL RECALLS. NOTE: THIS IS THE ORIGINAL COMPLAINT.....................TODAY THE SAME HAS HAPPENED AGAIN, I WAS GREETED BY HORNS BLOWING AND AGGRESSIVE DRIVERS BUT WAS UNABLE TO DO ANYTHING BUT COAST TO THE NEXT INTERSECTION TO TURN OFF. NHTSA PLEASW DO SOMETHING IF POSSIBLE. THIS OUTPUT DRIVE SPEED SENSOR IS GOING TO GET SOMEONE KILLED SOON. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS THROUGHOUT THIS FEED UNDER SCATTERED CATEGORIES MAINLY BECAUSE MOST DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS AND DEALERS CANT FIGURE OUT IF THE VEHICLE DOESN'T THROW UP A CODE. I HAD MINE CHECKED WHEN THE WARNING LIGHT WAS O
TAKATA RECALL WAS ISSUED OVER A YEAR AGO FOR MY VEHICLE AND THERE STILL ISN'T A REMEDY FOR MY VEHICLE YET.
TWO WEEKS AGO I WAS DRIVING ON NJ ROUT 9 WHEN THE TRANSMISSION SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS IN NEUTRAL BUT IT WASN'T. ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS WERE ON AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE TO A SAFE AREA AND STOP. I DID NOT TURN THE CAR OFF AND EXITED THE CAR AND TRIED TO OPEN THE REAR DOORS AND HATCH BUT COULDN'T. NEXT I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND WAITED A FEW MINUTES BEFORE STARTING IT. WHEN IT STARTED, ALL WAS FINE. THE NEXT MORNING I DROVE IT TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP WITHOUT INCIDENT. THERE WAS ONLY 62,000 MILES ON IT AT THE TIME BUT THE WARRANTY EXPIRED BECAUSE IT WAS MORE THAN SEVEN YEARS. THE OSS WAS REPLACED AT A COST OF 750.00. THIS IS NOT THE FIRS MAJOR ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE. LESS THAN ONE YEAR AGO TWO COILS FAULTED CAUSING A BACK FEED OF TOO MUCH VOLTAGE TO THE COMPUTER CAUSING IT TO FRY. A COST OF MORE THAN 3,000.00 TO REPAIR.
WHEN YOU STEP ON THE GAS THERE IS NO POWER. WHEN THIS HAPPENED THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AND THE SPEEDOMETER. WOULDN'T WORK THE TACK REVED UP THE LOW TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE LITTLE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. THE CAR WOULD NOT GO. NOW IT'S GOING TO COST AROUND $3000.00 TO FIX IS WHAT I WAS TOLD AND THE CAR ONLY HAS 90,000 MILES ON IT. I SEE A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. FORD SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL FOR THESE TRANSMISSIONS. BEFORE SOMEONE GETS INJURED. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WHEN I LOST POWER GOOD THING I COULD PULL OVER SAFELY.
WHILE DRIVING MY CAR BRAKES ON THE CITY FRONTAGE ROAD, NOTICED THEY BECAME SPONGY AND THEN A LOSS OF BRAKE FUNCTIONING.. I WOULD PRESS ON THE BRAKE PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND IT WOULD NOT RESPOND. WOULD HAVE TO SLOW DOWN ABOUT 1/3 BLOCK WHILE APPLYING BRAKES TO GET IT TO STOP AT INTERSECTIONS. DROVE IT TO A BRAKE SHOP AND WAS TOLD I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE POWER BOOSTER AND BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER. WAS TOLD CAR BY THE MECHANIC THAT THE CAR WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND I DECIDED TO CALL A TOW TRUCK TO RETURN THE CAR HOME SAFELY.
I ALWAYS MAINTAINED MY "PRE-OWNED" VEHICLE, PURCHASED FROM DEALERSHIP WITH 25,000 MILES. BEGAN TO EXPERIENCE A PLETHORA OF PROBLEMS AFTER 2,000 MILES. I'VE PAID OVER $8,000 IN REPAIRS AND ONLY DROVE IT 35,000 IN 8 YEARS TIME, BUT MAINTAINED IT PROPERLY & REGULARLY: I'VE HAD TO CHANGE THE BRAKES & PADS, & BATTERY TWICE, IT'S WHEEL RIMS CONSTANTLY LEAK AIR IN THE WINTER CAUSING FLAT TIRES, CHANGED ALL 4 TIRES, AND ON AUGUST 2, 20017, WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH, MY STEERING CONTROL SUDDENLY LOCKED UP! THERE WAS NO CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE'S MOVEMENTS- NO ABILITY TO MAKE LANE ADJUSTMENTS OR TURNS! I AND MY ENTIRE FAMILY INCLUDING GRANDCHILDREN COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED!! LUCKILY, THE NEXT OFF-RAMP WAS A STRAIGHT SHOT & I WAS ABLE TO EXIT THE HWY SAFELY AND BRING THE VEHICLE TO STOP DESPITE NO STEERING CONTROL. I HAD MY VEHICLE TOWED TO A FORD DEALERSHIP WHICH INCORRECTLY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM, & DID NOT BOTHER TO INSPECT IT FOR THREE DAYS. IT NOW NEEDS A COSTLY ($1500) RACK AND PINION TO REPLACE IT'S RUSTED OUT PRESSURIZED FUEL LINE FOR POWER STEERING FLUID. IT REMAINS UNREPAIRED TO DATE SINCE THERE IS ALSO A TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL W/ POSSIBLE FATAL INJURY ON THIS VIN. THE REPAIRS HAVE BEEN DELAYED BECAUSE THIS VEHICLE IS AN UNSAFE DANGER TO DRIVE! THE FUEL LINE DEFECT WAS UNDETECTABLE EVEN THOUGH I HAD REGULAR MAINTENANCE CARE AND CHECKUPS.
I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR MY VIN# IN MARCH 2017; 17S01/NHTSA RECALL 17V-024; THERE WAS A SERIOUS DEFECT WITH MY TAKATA PASSENGER-SIDE AIRBAG SYSTEM (BY TAKATA INFLATORS). THE NOTICE STATES: INFLATOR MAY RUPTURE IN THE EVENT OF CRASH NECESSITATING AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT RESULTING IN METAL FRAGMENTS (SHRAPNEL FROM THE DASH) STRIKING OCCUPANTS CUASING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. I HAVE GRANDCHILDREN WHO RIDE IN MY CAR! MY CAR IS ABSOLUTELY OFF LIMITS-A DEATH TRAP, UNSAFE TO DRIVE! I CONTACTED AT 13 FORD DEALERS, EACH TOLD ME THERE AREN'T ANY FORTHCOMING PARTS, UNAVAILABLE DUE TO TAKATA'S BANKRUPTCY. FORD HAS REPAIRED SOME VEHICLES BUT NOT MINE AND IS RESPONSIBLE TO TAKE ALTERNATE MEASURES TO ASSURE ME OF A SAFE VEHICLE! I'VE SPENT $32,000 ON THAT "PRE-OWNED" VEHICLE FROM A FORD DEALERSHIP, AND ANOTHER $5,200 IN REPAIRS SINCE PURCHASING AND ONLY DROVE IT FOR 35,000 MILES. I REGULARLY MAINTAINED & SERVICED THIS VEHICLE. THE DEFECTS WERE NEVER DETECTED.
TAKATA RECALL IT'S BEEN OVER A YEAR SINCE THIS RECALL HAS BEEN OUT AND THE FORD DEALER I GO TO STILL HAS NOT RECEIVED ANY SOLUTIONS TO FIXING THIS RECALL. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY IT'S TAKING SO LONG TO GET THIS RECALL RESOLVED.
I HAVE A 2008 EDGE W/ 120K MILES AND ONCE IN A WHILE, IT GETS STUCK IN THE 1ST GEAR. IT DID IT TO ME TWICE IN ONE MONTH, AND I NOTICE IT WHEN I'M GOING DOWN HILL (LIKE A PARKING GARAGE). ONCE I'M OUT ON THE STREET, THAT'S WHERE IT GETS STUCK IN THE FIRST GEAR. I HAD TO PULL OVER TURN OFF THE EDGE WAIT FOR ABOUT 1 MINUTE AND STARTED IT BACK UP, AND I LIKE IT RESETS THE SYSTEM CAUSE IT WORKS FINE AFTER THAT.
VEHICLE OFTEN SHIFTS HARD. IN THE (7) YEARS THAT WE'VE HAD THE 2008 FORD EDGE, THERE HAVE BEEN (6) OCCASIONS THAT WE HAVE BEEN TRAVELLING 60 TO 70 MPH AND THE SPEEDOMETER WILL FALL TO ZERO, AND THE ODOMETER WILL READ "ODOMETER DATA ERROR". WE CAN STILL TRAVEL AT 60MPH OR SO BUT THE ENGINE RPMS CLIMB TO 3000 AND YOU LOSE POWER. YOU CAN'T CLIMB A HILL, EXCEPT IN REVERSE, AND UNLESS YOU'RE ON LEVEL GROUND YOU CAN'T MOVE AT ALL. THE "WRENCH" LIGHTS UP ON THE DASH AND THE ONLY WAY TO GET OUT OF THIS SITUATION IS TO STOP THE VEHICLE, TURN OFF THE IGNITION AND WAIT FOR 5 TO 10 MINUTES FOR EVERYTHING TO RESET. I'M VERY CONCERNED FOR MY FAMILY'S SAFETY ON THE HIGHWAYS AS THEY TRAVEL WITHOUT ME QUITE OFTEN.

NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
