ODO ERROR DATA ERROR WHILE DRIVING. ODOMETER STOPS WORKING, WRENCH LIGHT TURNS ON, THEN AIR BAG LIGHT. LOSS OF POWER, TRANSMISSION GETS STUCK IN GEAR. YOU CAN'T ACCELERATE AND HAVE TO CRUISE ON TO THE RIGHT TO PULL OVER. HAPPENED TWICE, ONCE ON THE FREEWAY. CODE GOES TO THE SPEED SENSOR WHICH CONTROLS THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTING. AFTER YOU TURN OFF YOUR CAR AND TURN IT ON CODE RESETS HOWEVER CAR IS STUCK IN GEAR. AFTER A FEW HARD SHIFTS FINALLY GOES BACK INTO GEAR. FORD DEALERSHIP SAYS COMMON PROBLEM HOWEVER CAN'T FIGURE OUT IF ITS A HARNESS OR THE SENSORS. REPLACING SENSORS REQUIRES DROPPING THE TRANSMISSION.

TAKATA RECALL WAS ISSUED JUNE 1, 2016 AND THE PARTS ARE STILL NOT AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER IS TAKING WAY TOO LONG TO PROVIDE REPLACEMENT PARTS. I HAVE CONTACTED EVERY DEALERSHIP WITHIN 50 MILES AND NONE OF THEM HAVE REPLACEMENT PARTS. THE NHTSA SEARCH ALSO INDICATES THAT NO REPLACEMENT IS AVAILABLE YET.

TAKATA RECALL - I JUST CHECKED THE STATUS ONLINE TO SEE IF THERE'S BEEN ANY NEW UPDATES AND THERE HASN'T. IT'S GOING ON A YEAR AND THE PARTS ARE STILL NOT AVAILABLE IS WHAT I'M BEING TOLD WHEN I CALL FORD. THIS IS RIDICULOUS! WE'RE TAKING ABOUT AN AIRBAG WHICH IS PRETTY [XXX] IMPORTANT TO HAVE. TO HAVE TO HAVE PEOPLE SIT IN THE BACKSEAT IS A HUGE INCONVENIENCE ESPECIALLY IF YOU NEED ALL THE AVAILABLE SEATING IN THE CAR FOR YOUR FAMILY. OTHER VEHICLES WITH THE SAME ISSUES HAVE BEEN FIXED MONTHS AGO WHY ARE FORD CUSTOMERS STILL WAITING ?!?!! INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
ON JULY 2016, I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR PASSENGER FRONTAL AIR BAG DEFECT. I DECIDED TO CALL ON TO GET AN UPDATE ON FEB 22,2017 TO MY DEALER GREENWAY FORD. THEY SAID THE PARTS ARE NOT IN YET. I TOLD MANAGER I WAS CONCERNED SINCE MY LINE OF WORK IS TO DRIVE CUSTOMERS IN MY CAR. I ASKED FOR RENTAL. HE SAID TO CALL FORD MOTOR COMPANY. I DID AND BEFORE I GOT A REPRESENTATIVE ON LINE , THE RECORDING PLAYED THAT NOT ONLY MAY DEATH AND INJURY RESULT FROM MALFUNCTION BUT OTHER PASSENGERS MAY GET INJURED AS WELL. WHEN I SPOKE TO SOMEONE ABOUT MY CONCERN ALL HE COULD DO IS CONTINUE TO TELL ME THAT THEY DON'T PROVIDE RENTAL CARS AND I WOULD HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL PART CAME IN. I WANT TO FILE COMPLAINT BECAUSE I DO NOT WANT TO WAIT AROUND FOR EVEN MYSELF AS DRIVER GET INJURED OR POSSIBLY DIE.
VEHICLE CONTINOUSLY FRIES TURN SIGNAL LAMPS. I'VE REPLACED 12 OF THEM SINCE WE BOUGHT IT 4 YEARS AGO. EVERY 4-6 MONTHS IT ACTUALLY MELTS THE BULB HOUSING AND I HAVE TO PRY IT OUT. IF THE VEHICLE CATCHES FIRE I PLAN TO SUE FORD. NO PATTERN TO WHEN THEY BURN IT. COMPLETELY RANDOM BUT I'VE SAVED PHOTOS OF EACH ONE.

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE TRANSMISSION SKIPPED A COUPLE OF TIMES. AFTER STOPPING THE TRANSMISSION MADE A WHINING NOISE. WHEN I MOVED FORWARD IT WAS VERY SLOW TO MOVE AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE PROPERLY. ARRIVING HOME I PUT THE VEHICLE IN REVERSE AND IT MADE A CLUNKING NOISE. IT IS CURRENTLY AT THE TRANSMISSION SHOP FOR EVALUATION.
TAKATA RECALL: MY VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN FIXED AND FORD DEALER SAYS THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING UNTIL I RECEIVE A LETTER FROM YOU TO TAKE TO THEM AND NOT SURE WHY PARTS AREN'T IN. NO INCIDENT WITH MY VEHICLE AS YET. YOUR RECALL DATE IS JUNE, 2016
FORD EDGE RECALL ON AIRBAGS WAS FIRST ISSUE ON JUNE 1ST, 2016. IT IS NO FEBRUARY 2ND, 2017, WHICH IS 8 MONTHS LATER, AND NO FURTHER INFORMATION ON FIXING THIS DEFECT HAS BEEN MAILED TO US BY FORD. THIS IS AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF TIME TO REMEDY THEIR DEFECT SO I'M PLACING A COMPLAINT FOR LACK OF RESPONSIVENESS BY FORD.
LEFT REAR TAIL LIGHT BURNED OUT CHECK BULB COME TO FIND OUT THE SOCKET IS BURNED BROWN AND THE SOCKET VERY CRISP FALLING APART DUE TO OVER HEATED SOCKET THIS SHOULD BE REPLACED BY FORD. THIS MAY CAUSE A FIRE HAZARD, TAKE YOUR VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND HAVE THIS CHECKED BEFORE YOU HAVE A FIRE!!! I FOUND THIS WHEN I CHECKED TO SEE IF THE TURN SIGNAL/BRAKE LIGHT WERE WORKING.
RECALL 13N02 COVERS THE BRAKE BOOSTER IN 2010-2015 FORD EDGE. MY 2008 EDGE HAS THE EXACT SAME ISSUE AS DIAGNOSED BY A FORD DEALERSHIP. IT IS THE EXACT SAME ISSUE WITH THE EXACT SAME COMPONENT. THE REPLACEMENT PART FOR EITHER IS THE EXACT SAME, AS I VERIFIED WITH NUMEROUS SUPPLIERS. THE RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED TO COVER MORE YEARS, AS MY WIFE NOW DRIVES AN UNSAFE VEHICLE. FORD REDESIGNED THE EDGE FOR THE 2010 MODEL YEAR BUT USED THE EXACT SAME, NOW RECALLED COMPONENT. BRAKING IS DIFFICULT AT ALL SPEEDS, MUCH HARDER THAN THE DAYS BEFORE POWER BRAKES.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT VARIOUS WARNING INDICATORS RANDOMLY FLASHED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL/CLUSTER. WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS APPLIED, THE RPMS RACED, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS SLOW TO GAIN SPEED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED NO RECOMMENDED SOLUTION. THE VIN AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE NOT AVAILABLE.
DRIVER'S DOOR AJAR LIGHT COMES ON. MAKING A DINING SOUND CONTINUOUSLY, TURNING INTERIOR CAR LIGHTS ON, AND WON'T ALLOW DOORS TO LOCK. BUT THE DOOR IS SHUT. THIS CONCERNS ME WITH THE LIGHTS TURNING ON AT NIGHT, AND WHAT IF I REALLY DO HAVE A DOOR THAT ISN'T SHUT. THIS CAN HAPPEN AS SOON AS YOU START THE CAR, OR LATER WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD.
TAKATA RECALL.. MY FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG IS HALF WAY OUT MY INDICATOR ON MY DASHBOARD STAY ON CAUSE OF IT AND IT WAS SAID THAT IT CAN DEPLOY AT ANYTIME SO MY KIDS AND SOMETIMES FRIEND'S AND/OR HUSBAND HAVE TO RIDE IN THE BACK CAUSE THEY'RE AFRAID OF THE AIRBAG MIGHT DEPLOY. WE TRIED TO PUSH THE RUBBER SEAL BACK OVER IT BUT ITS NO USE.I INCLOSED SOME PICTURES OF THE TRUCK.CAN NOT SAY WHEN IT REALLY HAPPENED.
TAKATA RECALL -- WE WERE NOTIFIED OF THIS RECALL BACK IN JUNE OF 2016 AND EACH TIME I'VE CALLED OR CHECKED ONLINE TO SEE IF THERE IS AN ISSUE, I'M TOLD THERE ARE NO PARTS, YET. THIS IS RATHER SERIOUS BECAUSE I'D RATHER THE PROBLEM NOT SHOW ITSELF WHILE I'M DRIVING WITH MY WIFE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. IT'S REALLY SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF IMMEDIATELY. FROM MY UNDERSTANDING, THE REASON FOR THE RECALL IS BECAUSE OF SHRAPNEL IN THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. I DON'T WANT TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT IN ORDER TO FIND OUT IF MY VEHICLE IS AFFECTED BY THIS. A FIX NEEDS TO BE FOUND IMMEDIATELY OR MY VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED WITH ONE THAT DOESN'T HAVE THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE MY VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE WITH PASSENGERS UNTIL IT'S DONE. *TR

TAKATA RECALL: HELLO, I AM SUBMITTING MY SECOND COMPLAINT ON BEHALF OF MY DAUGHTERS CAR WHICH HAS A PASSENGER SEAT AIR BAG RECALL. I KEEP SEEING ON NBC NIGHTLY NEWS AS WELL AS OTHERS THAT THE CARS THAT WILL BE GETTING AIR BAGS REPLACED FIRST ARE THOSE IN THE SOUTH WHERE ITS HOT AND HUMID. THIS WEATHER IS NOT GOOD FOR THESE RECALLED AIR BAGS. WELL MY DAUGHTER GOES TO COLLEGE IN GAINESVILLE FLORIDA WHERE ITS 100 DEGREES AND 90% HUMIDITY IN THE SUMMERS. SHE HAS ALREADY SPENT A SUMMER UP THERE WITH THE RECALLED AIR BAG AND IS GOING TO SPEND ANOTHER SUMMER THERE WORKING. WE ARE VERY CONCERNED FOR HER SAFETY AS WELL AS HER YOUNG ADULT PASSENGERS. COLLEGE STUDENTS ALWAYS HAVE MULTIPLE PASSENGERS IN THEIR CARS AND THIS WORRIES ME SO MUCH. THE SAFETY OF HER FRIENDS IS IN JEOPARDY. JUST BECAUSE ITS HER CAR DOESN'T MEAN SHE IS NOT A PASSENGER IN HER OWN CAR. THERE ARE MANY TIMES SOMEONE ELSE WAS DRIVING AND SHE IS NOW THE PASSENGER. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE SEE WHAT YOU CAN DO TO EXPEDITE THE REPAIR OF THE PASSENGER AIR BAG IN HER CAR. SHE LIVES IN AN AREA THAT IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE THESE AIR BAGS ALREADY REPAIRED. THIS COMING JULY WILL BE 1 YR SINCE WE RECEIVED THE RECALL LETTER. I AM AFRAID THAT A LAW SUIT WILL BE COMING WHEN SOMEONE GETS INJURED AS I HAVE SUBMITTED MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS AS WELL AS MANY MANY PHONE CALLS TO FORD AND NHTSA. IT SHOULD NOT BE TAKING THIS LONG ESPECIALLY WHERE THE CAR IS. I HOPE TO BE RECEIVING THE LETTER IN THE MAIL THAT HER NEW AIR BAG IS READY TO BE INSTALLED

FOUND THE VEHICLE WITH A DEAD BATTERY THIS MORNING. BATTERY IS ONLY 1.5 MONTHS OLD. JUMP STARTED THE VEHICLE AND THEN FOUND THAT WHILE RUNNING AND DOORS CLOSED, THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT WAS ON AND ALL DOME LIGHTS. CHECKED ALL DOORS MULTIPLE TIMES, STILL WOULD NOT SHUT OFF. TRIED TO LOCK DOORS WHILE ENGINE RUNNING AND SINCE THE CAR BELIEVED A DOOR WAS OPENED IT IMMEDIATELY UNLOCKED ALL THE DOORS. NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO TRAVELING WITH A RISK OF A DEAD BATTERY AGAIN OR ON THE HIGHWAY WITH NO ABILITY TO LOCK THE DOORS. SEEMS FORD HAS EXACT SAME ISSUES WITH OTHER MODELS.

MY 2008 FORD EDGE (SINCE I BROUGHT IT) HAS BEEN HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE, ALL OF THE LIGHTS ON THE PANEL WILL LIGHT UP( WRENCH LIGHT, AIRBAG LIGHT, TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT...ETC) THE ODOMETER WILL GO OFF AND HAVE ONLY DASHES, THE CAR WILL THEN HAVE A LOSS OF ACCELERATION. THE CAR FEELS LIKE IT IS TRYING REALLY HARD TO STAY IN GEAR OR CHANGE GEARS.THIS WILL HAPPEN ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 60MPH AS WELL AS LOCAL ROADS AT LOWER SPEEDS. I WILL HAVE TO PUT MY HAZARDS ON AND PULL OVER ON THE SIDE. WE FIGURED OUT THAT IF YOU DISCONNECT THE CABLES ON THE BATTERY FOR A FEW MINUTES THEN RECONNECT THE CAR WILL THEN RUN AGAIN OK. THIS IS A SERIOUS HAZARD. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT SEVERAL TIMES ON THE HIGHWAY DUE TO THIS ISSUE AND HAVE BEEN HIT FROM BEHIND GETTING ON THE HIGHWAY ALREADY. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO FORD SEVERAL TIMES ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT THERE IS "NO CODE READING" SO THEY CAN NOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS TO FIND OUT IF OTHER FORD EDGES HAVE THE SAME ISSUE AND I CAME ACROSS A SLEW OF OTHER FORD EDGE OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. I HAVE CONTACTED FORD SEVERAL TIMES TO BE TOLD THAT THERE ARE NO RECALLS ON THIS. *TR

TAKATA RECALL. MY DAUGHTERS FORD EDGE RECEIVED THE RECALL LETTER THAT SAID THE PASSENGER AIR BAG WAS RECALLED. THE DRIVERS WAS NOT, ONLY THE PASSENGER. SHE IS IN COLLEGE AND FREQUENTLY HAS OTHER STUDENTS IN HER CAR AND I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF OTHERS OR MY DAUGHTER IF SHE HAPPENS TO NOT BE DRIVING THE CAR AND IS A PASSENGER. WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY INFORMATION ON WHEN THE PASSENGER AIR BAG WILL BE REPLACED. IT HAS BEEN A VERY LONG TIME SINCE WE RECEIVED THE LETTER AND CAN YOU PLEASE FIND OUT WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THIS. I NEED THE AIRBAG REPLACED ASAP! THANK YOU.
TIRE WEAR
TAKATA RECALL. MY COMPLAINT IS IT SEEMS LIKE THIS RECALL ISN'T BEING COMPLETED IN A TIMELY MANNER. I RECEIVED THE RECALL IN JULY 2016, CONTACTED FORD IN OCTOBER 2016 AND AS OD DECEMBER 2016 STILL NO ACTION. THAT IS NEARLY SIX MONTHS. I BELIEVE THAT SOMETHING THAT COULD RUPTURE AND SEND METAL FRAGMENTS STRIKING OCCUPANTS SHOULD NOT BE TAKING THIS LONG TO REPAIR. ANY INFORMATION AND A TIME LINE FOR REPAIR WOULD BE GREAT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR REPLY. CONCERNED RECALL CAR OWNER
MY BRAKES MAKE A HISSING NOISE WHEN I PRESS DOWN.. I HAVE TO PRESS ALL THE WAY DOWN TO GET IT TO STOP. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS.ALSO, MY BACK TAIL LITE HAS HAD TO BE REPLACED 2 TIMES BECAUSE THE SOCKET GOT HOT. ALSO, MY CAR JUMPS SOMETIMES WHEN PRESSING ON THE GAS(TRANSMISSION ISSUE?) I HAVE ALSO HAD THE GAS TANK REPLACED(DUE TO A RECALL)
TAIL LIGHT SOCKETS MELTING CAUSING THE BULBS TO BLOW AND NOT WORK. HAVE HAD TO CHANGE BOTH SIDES THREE TIMES NOW. ALSO THE TAKATA AIRBAG HAS STILL NOT BEEN REPLACED. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THEY STILL DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO FIX IT. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT BOTH THESE THINGS.

THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER WOULD NO LONGER BUILD PARTS FOR THE 2008 FORD EDGE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 86,000.
NO WARNING INDICATOR GIVEN. THE BREAKS DECIDE TO STOP WORKING. HISSING SOUND WHEN BREAK IS APPLIED. I HAD TO MASH ON THE PEDDLE TO STOP. LUCKILY I WAS TRAVELING AT A SLOW SPEED. I HAVE 2 CHILDREN AGES 1 AND 2 IN THE CAR WITH ME. THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE HAZARD AND NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED BY FORD.

MY CAR HAS MULTIPLE WARNING LIGHTS COME ON ALL AT THE SAME TIME. MY DASH SAYS ODO SYSTEM FAIL, THEN IS SAYS THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR FAILS, THE WRENCH FOR TRANSMISSION COMES ON, THEN THE TIRE PRESSURE SYMBOL COMES ON AND FLASHES, THE AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON, AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. THEN MY ODOMETER GOES TO ZERO. IF I SLOW DOWN TO A STOP SIGN OR SOMETHING, I PUSH THE GAS AND THE RPM'S ON MY CAR GO WAY UP BUT MY CAR HARDLY MOVES. ONCE I GET GOING TO A HIGHER SPEED, THE RPM'S GO DOWN...IT IS ALMOST LIKE IT IS STUCK IN A HIGH GEAR. THEN WHEN I PUT MY CAR INTO DRIVE AFTER IT WAS IN PARK, MY CAR JOLTS AND MAKES A HUGE CLANKING NOISE. IF I SHUT MY CAR OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON, IT MAKES A LOUD CLANKING NOISE BUT ALL MY WARNING LIGHTS TURN OFF EXCEPT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THEN WHEN I PUSH THE GAS AGAIN, IT IS STILL BARELY MOVING AND IN HIGH RPM'S BUT IT WILL RANDOMLY KICK INTO WHATEVER GEAR IT NEEDS TO BE IN AND MAKE ANOTHER LOUD CLANKING SOUND AND RUN FINE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND I AM NOT SURE WHY IT HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED YET. THIS HAPPENED TO ME FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE MIDDLE OF A FOUR WAY STOP AND I BLOCKED THE INTERSECTION AND ALMOST GOT HIT BY ANOTHER CAR. THIS IS EVENTUALLY GOING TO CAUSE GREAT HARM OR EVEN DEATH TO SOMEONE.

MY VEHICLE'S TRANSMISSION ACTS LIKES IT'S SLIPPING OR IN NEUTRAL WHEN IT'S NOT. JERKS WHEN IT SHIFTS GEARS. LOSES POWER WHEN I TRY TO ACCELERATE. I DID SOME RESEARCH THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE TRANSMISSIONS IN THE FORD EDGE'S. I STARTED HAVING ISSUES SEVERAL WEEKS AGO BACK IN OCTOBER 2016. WHY SHOULD ALL THE OWNERS OF THESE DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS TO BE FIXED. THAT'S NOT RIGHT! WE GAVE FORD OUR HARD EARNED MONEY JUST TO GET A DEFECTIVE VEHICLE. TALKED TO FORD TODAY AND THEY DON'T CARE. NOT GOING TO DO ANYTHING THEY STATED. TODAY I WAS AT A 4 WAY STOP IN A SCHOOL ZONE AND WHEN I WANTED TO TAKE OFF IT ACTED LIKE IT WAS IN NEUTRAL. I GOT TO WHERE I COULD PULL OVER AND SAT THERE A FEW MINUTES AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT THE OTHER MILE HOME. IT CLUNKS WHEN CHANGING GEARS AND JERKS. IT IS A INTERMITTENT PROBLEM AS IT DOESN'T HAPPEN EVERYDAY.
STOPPED AT A LIGHT WOULD NOT PULL FORWARD AFTERWARDS LOUD CLUNKING NOISE, AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON, SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON, ODOMETER WENT TO ZERO, CAR WOULD JERK WHILE IN GEAR BUT WOULDN'T MOVE FORWARD OR REVERSE. I'VE DONE SOME RESEARCH ON THIS PROBLEM, HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH 2007 AND 2008 EDGE. WITH MOST BEING TRANSMISSION SENSOR FAILURE. FORD KNOWS OF THIS PROBLEM WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.
I HAVE RECEIVING RECALL LETTERS ON MY 2008 FORD EDGE FOR A PASSENGE-SIDE AIRBAG MALFUNCTION SINCE OCTOBER 2014. IT IS NOW NOVEMBER 2016 AND THE LOCAL FORD DEALER TELLS ME THAT THE PART IS STILL NOT AVAILABLE. AT ASSISTANCE IS GREATLY APPRECIATED.
WHILE DRIVING MY 2008 FORD EDGE, THE "WRENCH" LIGHT COMES ON AND MY CAR LOSES ALL POWER. WHEN I STEP ON THE GAS IT IS LIKE I AM IN NEUTRAL MY CAR WILL NOT DRIVE. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY IN TRAFFIC. I AM SO SCARED I AM GOING TO BE REAR-ENDED. I DID A LOT OF RESEARCH AND FOUND MANY OTHERS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. APPARENTLY IT IS THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY. *TR
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.
