2008 Ford Edge complaints

THE INFORMATION PANEL LIT UP WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, THE WRENCH, THE AIRBAG LIGHT, THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT AND DISPLAYED A MESSAGE: ODO DATA ERROR. THE ODOMETER/SPEEDOMETER FELL TO ZERO. I STOPPED AT A LIGHT AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE NORMALLY, THEN A BIG CLUNKING SOUND AND FINALLY MOVED FORWARD. AFTER A NIGHT IN THE GARAGE, THE VEHICLE DROVE NORMALLY THE NEXT DAY AND ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS WERE OFF. THEN ONE DAY IT HAPPENED AGAIN. TOOK IT TO A FORD DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND THEREFORE COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING TO FIX. SINCE THAT TIME, IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND EACH TIME I PULL OFF THE ROAD, TURN THE ENGINE OFF, WAIT A LITTLE BIT, START THE ENGINE AGAIN AND PULL AWAY. THERE IS ALWAYS THE CLUNKING AND JERKING INTO GEAR. AFTER REVIEWING A FEW FORD ONLINE FORMS, I SEE THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN THE 2008 EDGE AND MAY BE ATTRIBUTED TO TWO SENSORS, THE SPEED OUTPUT AND TURBINE SENSORS. FOR SAFETY REASONS, I WILL ONLY DRIVE ON SURFACE STREETS BECAUSE I NEVER KNOW WHEN IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN. SEEMS TO ME, FORD IS LIKELY AWARE OF THIS AND WOULD BE A SHAME IF SOMEONE GOT HURT. THE DATE BELOW IS THE MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE ALTHOUGH IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. *TR

I DID NOT OWN THIS VEHICLE WHEN THE RECALL WAS PRODUCED I HAVE OWN THIS CAR FOR ABOUT 2 YEARS WITH NO PROBLEM UNTIL ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO I DISCOVERED THAT THERE IS GAS LEAKING FROM THE BRACKET OF THE GAS TANK. ONCE IN PARK YOU CAN EITHER SMELL A STRONG ODOR OF GAS AND YOU CAN SEE WHERE THE THE GAS HAS BEEN LEAKING ONTO THE GROUND

START ENGINE, MOVE TRANSMISSION INTO REVERSE, TRANSMISSION CLUNKS LOUDLY. WHEN TRANSMISSION IS MOVED TO DRIVE, ENGINE REVS HIGH, BARELY MOVES FORWARD, SPEEDOMETER STUCK AT ZERO DESPITE MOVING UP TO 20MPH. ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON.

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE WRENCH LIGHT COMES ON, SPEEDOMETER STOPS WORKING AND THE VEHICLE LOSES POWER. I CAN ALSO SMELL A BURNING SMELL. ONCE I HAVE COME TO A STOP, THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS VERY HARD LIKE SOMEONE HAS HIT THE VEHICLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES, INCLUDING A COUPLE OF TIMES WHEN I PULLED INTO TRAFFIC AND THE VEHICLE LOST POWER, COMING VERY CLOSE TO CAUSING AN ACCIDENT WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC. VERY DANGEROUS AND I AM VERY APPREHENSIVE ABOUT DRIVING THE CAR DUE TO MY FAMILY'S SAFETY.

"TAKATA RECALL" I WAS DRIVING MY CHILD TO SCHOOL IN HIGHWAY TRAFFIC, SPEEDS OF 55 MPH. THE CAR MILEAGE INDICATORS WENT BLANK, A WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AND ALL POWER TO CAR WAS LOST DURING TURNING A CURVE ON HIGHWAY.VEHICLE STARTED MAKING VERY LOUD POPPING NOISE AND JERKING THE CAR. TURNED CAR OFF AFTER COMING TO A STOP, RESTARTED CAR, NO WARNING LIGHTS, EVERYTHING WAS NORMAL EXCEPT, WHEN STARTING CAR, IT MADE VERY LOUD NOISE AS IT WAS STARTED, THEN AS I PLACED IN DRIVE OR REVERSE IT MOVED THE VEHICLE JERKING AN LOUD POPPING NOISE. THE ENTIRE MOTOR MOVED SIDEWAYS WHEN PLACED IN GEAR AN HOOD UP. ALSO NOW IT NO LONGER WORKS IN LOW GEAR. ONCE PLACED ON MACHINE IT GAVE CODE PO720-722

THE WRENCH LIGHT WILL COME ON WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE, AND POWER IS LOST. MY CAR WILL SLOW DOWN TO AROUND 10-20 MPH NO MATTER WHERE I AM OR HOW FAST I AM GOING. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY FORD. I HAVE BEEN ON I-10 WITH MY HUSBAND AND TODDLER AND THE VEHICLE GOES INTO THIS "LIMP MODE" AT 80 MPH! I AM SO TERRIFIED TO DRIVE A VEHICLE THAT I HAVE TO PAY EVERY MONTH FOR. MECHANICS THAT HAVE LOOKED AT THE CAR HAVE NO DEFINITIVE ANSWER TO PROBLEM, THEY SUGGESTED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY BE CLEANED. WE DID THAT AND IT WAS NO HELP. THE VEHICLE LEFT ME AND MY SON STRANDED THIS MORNING ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE I COULD NOT GET IT OUT OF THE "SAFETY LIMP MODE". USUALLY, I CAN PULL OVER, PARK, AND SHUT THE CAR OFF FOR A FEW MINUTES, THEN TURN IT ON AND IT WOULD WORK AGAIN. THIS MORNING, IT WOULD NOT RESET ITSELF. I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY HELP OR ADVICE ON THIS MATTER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH OVER A POTHOLE, THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED WITHOUT WARNING OR AN IMPACT. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. ADDITIONALLY, THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BELT FAILED TO RETRACT. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO PERFORMANCE FORD LINCOLN BOUNTIFUL (1800 S MAIN ST, BOUNTIFUL, UT 84010, (888) 476-8961), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 167,000.

DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY SUDDENLY SPEEDOMETER/ODOMETER STOPPED WORKING, LOW TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON AND CAR ACCELERATION DROPPED AND IT WOULDN'T RESPOND TO INCREASED PRESSURE ON GAS PEDAL. CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. HAD TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY. CAR WOULD ONLY TRAVEL AT A VERY LOW SPEED. MADE MY WAY TO A PARKING LOT AND SHUT THE CAR OFF. SHIFTING INTO ANY GEAR (REVERSE, DRIVE ETC.) CAUSED THE CAR TO JUMP/SHAKE AND MAKE A LOUD NOISE. AFTER A WHILE IT RESOLVED ITSELF. TOOK THE CAR TO A FORD DEALERSHIP. THEY CHECKED IT OUT, COULD FIND NO ISSUE (INCIDENTAL FINDING - CAR NEEDED BATTERY). BATTERY WAS REPLACED, PICKED UP CAR AND RESUMED DRIVING THE CAR. WITHIN A WEEK WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY (SECOND TIME SINCE PICKING THE CAR UP) AND HAD THE SAME THING HAPPEN. DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AND SUDDENLY SEE THE SPEEDOMETER/ODOMETER STOP WORKING, LOW TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT AND LOSE ABILITY TO CONTROL ACCELERATION OF VEHICLE. HAD TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY, CAR WOULDN'T TRAVEL AT ANYTHING OTHER THAN VERY LOW SPEED, JERKED WHEN SHIFTED ETC. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE AND WHEN LOOKING IT UP ONLINE I CAN SEE IT HAS HAPPENED TO MANY WITH THIS MODEL/YEAR. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO SUDDENLY LOSE THE ABILITY TO CONTROL ACCELERATION. WHY HAS THIS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED WITH A RECALL. IT SEEMS TO OCCUR ONCE THE CAR REACHES CLOSE TO 100K MILES. CAN'T HELP BUT WONDER WHY DEALERSHIP IS NOT AWARE BUT I CAN FIND REAMS OF DOCUMENTED ISSUES ONLINE. FYI - THIS CAR IS PRIMARILY DRIVEN BY MY 19 YEAR OLD SON AND BOTH INCIDENCES OC

2008 FORD EDGE WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS ALL OF A SUDDEN THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON, AIRBAG LIGHT, THE MILEAGE ODOMETER BLANKED OUT AND THE SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING THERE WAS A LOSS OF POWER. THE TRANSMISSION MAKES A HUGE CLUNKING SOUND AND JERKS INTO GEAR SHIFTING INTO DRIVE FROM PARK AND REVERSE

VEHICLE WILL ACT LIKE IT ' JUMPS' AND THE WRENCH LIGHT WILL COME ON. VEHICLE WILL DECELERATE IF I DON'T PULL OVER IMMEDIATELY CAUSING ME TO COME TO A STOP. SPEEDOMETER DOESN'T WORK WHILE THIS IS HAPPENING. CANT ACCELERATE ONCE STOPPED. HAS TO TURN VEHICLE OFF TO RESET THE COMPUTER AND THE WRENCH LIGHT WILL GO OFF FOR A PERIOD OF TIME UNTIL IT DECIDES TO HAPPEN AGAIN. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION IF ON THE HIGHWAY AND CAN'T GET OUT OF THE WAY OF OTHER CARS TO CUT THE VEHICLE OFF. HAPPENS A FEW TIMES A MONTH.

WHILE NORMALLY DRIVING, THE "WRENCH" LIGHT WILL COME ON AND THE VEHICLE GOES INTO A LOW-POWER "LIMP MODE". SO I PULL OVER IMMEDIATELY, AND PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK, SHUT IT OFF, AND REMOVE THE KEY. I SIT WITH IT POWERED OFF FOR ABOUT A 10 SECOND COUNT, AND RESTART THE ENGINE. THE WRENCH LIGHT GOES OFF, AND I CAN DRIVE NORMALLY UNTIL IT HAPPENS AGAIN.

VEHICLE INITIALLY WOULD NOT ACCELERATE BEYOND 10 MPH THEN COMPLETELY LOST POWER IN THE MIDDLE OF RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. LOCAL REPAIR CENTER REPORTED ISSUES WITH PCM AND WAS UNABLE TO FIX IT. SENT IT TO A FORD DEALER WHO CONFIRMED ISSUES WITH PCM THAT DAMAGED THE BODY THROTTLE, 3 ENGINE COILS, AND OTHER PARTS. HAD TO REPLACE PCM AND PARTS DAMAGED BY IT RESULTING IN A $2894.10 REPAIR BILL. THE FOLLOWING DAY AFTER REPAIR, WAS AGAIN IN THE MIDDLE OF RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC AND THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY LOSS POWER AGAIN. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN AND BASED ON RESEARCH, A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME THING. FORD NEED TO RECALL THIS ISSUE. I'M SO THANKFUL MY CHILD WAS NOT IN THE VEHICLE DURING THESE EVENTS.

WHILE DRIVING THE FORD EDGE HAS A COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER. THE WRENCH LIGHT AND BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON. THE POWER STEERING WOULD NOT WORK AND I HAD TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND WAS ABLE TO RESTART IT. THE MECHANIC WAS NOT ABLE TO REPLICATE IT. IT HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES ALMOST CAUSING A WRECK EACH TIME WHILE DRIVING IN THE CITY. LUCKILY IT HAS NOT HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE HAD THE THROTTLE BODY REPLACED AS SUGGESTED IN THE FORUMS FOR THIS PROBLEM. HTTPS://WWW.CARGURUS.COM/CARS/DISCUSSION-T35446_DS471580

ON MY DRIVE TO WORK I NOTICED MY TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT WAS ON. ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK SOMETHING EXTREMELY SCARY HAPPENED. TWO ADDITIONAL LIGHTS APPEARED, ONE WAS THE WRENCH SYMBOL AND THE OTHER WAS TIRE SENSOR FAULT WHICH WAS NOT THE BIGGEST ISSUE. THE BIGGER SCARIER ISSUE WAS THAT WHILE GOING 65 MPH IN BUSY TRAFFIC MY SPEED ODOMETER STOPPED WORKING. I SPOKE TO SOMEONE AT FORD AND EXPRESSED MY FEAR OF THIS SAFETY ISSUE. THEY RECOMMENDED REPORTING IT. IF ANYONE ELSE HAS THIS SERIOUS ISSUE PLEASE REPORT IT.

PARTIAL LOSS OF BRAKES STOPPING THE VEHICLE WHILE IN MOTION. HISSING NOISE OCCURRED WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES. POSSIBLY CAUSED BY FAULTY MASTER CYLINDER OR BOOST SYSTEM. * RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR THIS PROBLEM FOR 2010-2013 FORD EDGE VEHICLES.

MELTING AND BURNING OUT BULBS THAT ARE USED FOR TAILLIGHTS AND REAR TURN SIGNAL LIGHTS.

THE PCM ON MY FORD EDGE HAS WENT OUT FOR A SECOND TIME AFTER 5 YEARS OF HAVING IT FIXED THE FIRST TIME. THIS ISSUE IS AN ON GOING ISSUE THAT ONCE AGAIN WILL COST OVER 1000 TO REPLACE AND REPAIR ALL THE PROBLEMS THIS HAS CAUSED SUCH AS THE COMPUTER ITSELF ALL THE SPARK PLUGS EVEN THOUGH IT IS NOT TIME FOR THIS TO BE CHANGED AGAIN THE CAR WAS PURCHASED WITH 95000 MILES ON IT AND WITHIN A MONTH OF HAVING IT THE CAR SHOT THE COMPUTER WE REPLACED ALL THE SPARK PLUGS COILS AND THE COMPUTER THRU A DEALERSHIP AND NOW THE VEHICLE IS AT 123000 AND ONCE AGAIN IT IS TIME TO REPLACE ALL THE PARTS AGAIN. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED DUE TO THE LOSS OF POWER WHILE DRIVING WHEN THIS ISSUE FIRST STARTS.

VEHICLE IN MOTION ON CITY ROAD WHEN VEHICLE ALL OF A SUDDEN MAKES LOUD/HARD CLANK NOISE AND IMMEDIATELY LOSES POWER - ALMOST LIKE IT STARTED TOWING A TRAILER! LOSS OF POWER, WRENCH LIGHT, TPS LIGHT, AIRBAG LIGHT ALL COME ON, SPEEDOMETER STOPS WORKING. PULLED OVER, LOUD/HARD CLANK SOUND WITH EVERY GEAR CHANGE P-2. VEHICLE HAD DISPLAYED NO ISSUES PRIOR TO THIS. DROPPED VEHICLE OFF AT MECHANIC, WHEN HE LOOKED AT IT NEXT MORNING, VEHICLE IS RUNNING PERFECT. TODAY IS A FRIDAY, I WAS SUPPOSED TO GO OUT OF TOWN (VIA I75) BUT I AM GOING TO STAY LOCAL AS IT DOES NOT FEEL SAFE TO DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY. I AM GREATLY CONCERNED ABOUT WHAT APPEARS TO BE A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE WITH THIS CAR. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS SEARCH - THERE ARE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE TO BE FOUND ALL OVER THE INTERNET WITH NO FIXES KNOWN. FORD NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL AND FIX THIS ASAP BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY HURT OR IS KILLED FROM THE EXTREME LOSS OF POWER THE VEHICLE IS SUFFERING FROM WHEN THIS HAPPENS.

I'VE REACHED OUT TO MY FORD DEALERS FOR OVER A YEAR IN REGARDS TO THE NOTICES I'VE RECIEVED IN THE THE MAIL. I KEEP GETTING THE RUN AROUND THAT DON'T HAVE THE THE PARTS IN STOCK. I CALLED LAST WEEK THEY SAID PARTS WOULD BE IN THIS WEEK. CALLED AGAIN & WAS HUNG UP ON. I AM BEYOND FRUSTRATED WITH THIS MATTER IN REGARDS TO MY SAFETY AS WELL AS MY PASSENGERS!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD EDGE. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE AND MAKING A TURN, THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE WATER PUMP FAILED AND DAMAGED THE BEARINGS, WHICH BLEW OUT THE MOTOR. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

DRIVING, GOING UP A HILL, THE CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING AND LOST POWER GOING UP. I ALMOST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT. THE CAR DOESN'T ACCELERATE AND IT HAS ALL THE FLUIDS AND CHANGED OF OILS. THE CAR CLUNKS AND HAS A WRENCH. WHEN I PUT INTO REVERSE IT JUMP A VERY MINIMUM ACCELERATION. I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. I HAD TO TOW THE CAR. THE MECHANIC COULDN'T FIND THE PROBLEM. HE SAID HE CLEARED UP THE COMPUTER AND IT WAS FINE. THEN I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. NO ACCELERATION. WHY FORD HASN'T MADE THIS INTO A SAFETY RECALL. I DID MY INVESTIGATION AND I BELIEVE IT HAS TO DO WITH THE TRANSMISSION SENSORS. PLEASE HELP ME.

I OWN A 2008 FORD EDGE LIMITED I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AS SOME PEOPLE ON HERE ARE WITH THE WRENCH 🔧 LIGHT ALSO A AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON AND I HAVE ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE THE CAR SPEEDOMETER STOPS WORKING AND THE CAR SHIFTS SUPER HARD IT SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY I DID MY RESEARCH ON FORDS WEBSITE FOR FINDING OUT THE PROBLEM AND IT'S A GLITCH THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN WHEN TRYING TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT FROM OCCURRING ALSO YOU CAN'T EVEN VIEW THE SPEED I THINK THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AND RECALLED BECAUSE I IT CAN CREATE A UNSAFE ENVIRONMENT TO NOT ONLY MY VEHICLE BUT OTHERS AS WELL.

I HAVE RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE OF THE AIRBAGS, THE CLOSEST DEALER ACCORDING TO THE INTERNET IS BELLINGHAM WASHINGTON. I LIVE IN KETCHIKAN ALASKA AND WE HAVE NO FORD DEALERSHIP ON THIS ISLAND, SO WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW TO GET THIS REPAIRED CLOSER TO WHERE WE LIVE.

WHILE DRIVING OUT OF A DRIVEWAY ONTO A HIGHWAY, MY VEHICLE WENT LIMP AND I HAD TO PULL OVER. AS I WAS PUTTING IT INTO PARK, IT GAVE OUT A LOUD NOISE. I WAITED FOR A FEW MINUTES AND TURNED THE IGNITION BACK ON AND PROCEEDED TO DRIVE OFF AND THE CAR STALLED AGAIN. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. I'M HAVING IT TOWED TO MY HOUSE WHERE IT WILL STAY PARKED UNTIL I CAN HAVE IT LOOKED AT. HOPEFULLY, I WON'T HAVE TO TRADE IT IN. WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE FOR VEHICLES, I WILL NOT PURCHASE A FORD EVER AGAIN.

WILL BE DRIVING AND LOUD THUMP THEN CAR WILL NOT CHANGE GEARS. HAVE TO PULL OFF ROAD TURN CAR OFF AND LET SIT FOR AWHILE. RESTART CAR AND WRENCH GOES AWAY AND CAR WILL GO. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AS HAVE BEEN ON FREEWAY WHEN PROBLEM OCCURS. THERE SHOULD BE RECALL ON THIS PTOBLEM.

TRANSMISSION SLIPPING AND DOWNSHIFTING HARD - AROUND 80,000K I STARTED TO NOTICE THAT THE TRANSMISSION WOULD BANG WHEN I PUT IT IN REVERSE. AFTER THAT, OTHER ISSUES STARTED HAPPENING - WHILE PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL, VEHICLE WOULD NOT SWITCH TO A HIGHER GEAR. I'D HAVE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP (IN TRAFFIC!), PUT IT IN PARK, THEN TRY TO DRIVE AGAIN. PERIODS WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD GET TO SPEED THEN SLIP. TRANSMISSION WOULD BANG LIKE I WAS BEING REAR-ENDED. CHANGED THE VALVE BODY, TSS, AND OSS SENSORS. THAT WORKED FOR A WHILE BUT NOW IT'S ACTING UP AGAIN. DOWNSHIFTS SO HARD AND BANGS WHILE I'M DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. I'M AFRAID IT'S GOING TO GO COMPLETELY WHILE I'M DRIVING. THERE WAS NO PRIOR DAMAGE TO VEHICLE TO CAUSE THIS MALFUNCTION.

BOTH THE REAR TAIL/STOP LIGHT BULB SOCKETS MELT FROM EXTREME BULB HEAT. THIS ISSUE IS POSTED BY OTHERS ALL OVER THE INTERNET. THIS IS A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD THAT SERIOUSLY NEEDS ADDRESSING BY FORD. IN THE PAST I REPLACED THE RIGHT REAR BULB WHICH IS WHEN I DISCOVERED THE ISSUE. YESTERDAY I HAD TO REPLACE THE LEFT REAR BULB AND DISCOVERD THAT SOCKET TOO IS MELTED ALONG WITH THE BASE OF THE BULB ITSELF.

TO GET THE CAR TO FUNCTION AGAIN I HAVE TO TURN THE FORD EDGE OFF TURN IT BACK ON THIS IS NOT GOOD. WHAT CAN BE DONE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, THE ODOMETER SUDDENLY DROPS TO ZERO WHILE STILL MOVING AT THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT. THE WRENCH SYMBOL WARNING LIGHT IN THE DASH COMES ON, AS WELL AS THE AIRBAG LIGHT. THE MILEAGE IS THEN CLEARED, AND THE DASH READS "ODO ERROR". PULLED OVER, TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE AND REMOVED THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION.

MY SUV LUNGES FORWARD WHILE IN MOTION IT HAS JUST CUT OFF WHILE IN MOTION WITH NO WARNING. I WAS ON MY CITY STREET AND THE VEHICLE JUST CUT OFF AND I HAD TO TURN THE KEY OVER TO RESTART IT. THEN IT HAS STARTED LUNGING WHILE I AM DRIVING IT. WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE IN DEC. 2017 & WHEN WE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE LUNGING, THE DEALER TOOK IT IN & SAID THAT IT NEEDED A TUNE-UP. WE PAID $300 ABOUT 5 MONTHS AGO AND GOT A TUNEUP AND IT HAS STARTED TO LUNGE AGAIN. IT OCCURS WHILE I AM DRIVING, SOMETIMES ON THE HIGHWAY AND ALSO IN REGULAR CITY TRAFFIC AT ABOUT 35 MPH.

DRIVING TO WORK I NOTICED THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE GOT ALL THE WAY UP AND I PULLED OVER, SINCE I WAS DRIVING ON THE I-41 NORTHBOUND HIGHWAY, I DECIDED TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY SINCE I WAS PRETTY CLOSE TO THE EXIT. I CALLED MY HUSBAND FOR ASSISTANCE AND RIGHT AFTER HE DROPPED ME OFF AT WORK, HE CHECKED THE SUV AND NOTICED THE COOLANT RESERVOIR WAS VERY LOW. WE TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC AND AFTER THE INSPECTION HIS DIAGNOSTIC WAS A 'WATER PUMP FAILURE ' SINCE THE WATER PUMP IS LOCATED 'INSIDE ' THE ENGINE ITSELF, IT WILL BE A 'VERY EXPENSIVE FIX' SO THE MECHANIC RECOMMENDED TO REPORT IT SINCE IT MAY BE FOMOCO'S FAULTY. I COMPLETELY AGREED WITH HEM, BECAUSE THE FACT THEY INSTALLED THE WATER PUMP INSIDE THE ENGINE, DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE, BECAUSE JUST A INEXPENSIVE PUMP AFFECTED THE WHOLE ENGINE AND TO REPAIR IT, WILL COST MORE THAN THE SUV ITSELF. THIS HAPPENED ON JANUARY 28TH 2019, AROUND 1:30. MY HUSBAND AND I ARE HOPING THERE IS A 'RECALL ' REGARDING THIS MATTER.

WHEN DRIVING MY CAR LOSES POWER AND WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. BOUGHT IT TO FORD DEALER WAS TOLD IT'S MY THROTTLE BODY. I SEE THIS IS NOT A ISOLATED CASE.

TAKATA AIRBAG INFLATOR! RECEIVED A LONG OVERDUE LETTER FROM THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY TO TAKE MY VEHICLE IN TO A FORD DEALER AND HAVE THE INFLATOR FIXED AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT AND TOOK IT IN! WAS TOLD IT WOULD TAKE ABOUT 2 HOURS! A FEW HOURS LATER MY VEHICLE HADN"T BEEN MOVED AND THEY SAID THEY HAD MORE IMPORTANT JOBS TO DO AND WERE NOT SURE IF THEY WOULD GET TO IT! I HAD MY SON TAKE IT IN AND HE WAS VERY UPSET AND LEFT! THEY HAVE BEEN VERY RUDE AT THIS DEALERSHIP BEFORE! SO IT SEEMS THAT SINCE THIS WAS A FREEBIE IT WASN'T IMPORTANT TO THEM TO FIX THIS PROBLEM!

TAKATA RECALL - IT HAS BEEN NEARLY 3 YEARS AND MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP STILL DOES NOT HAVE PARTS AVAILABLE TO FIX THE ISSUE. HOW LONG IS A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME TO FIX A RECALL ISSUE?

"TAKATA RECALL" TAKATA RECALL 16V-384 HELLO. I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN JULY 2016 REGARDING AIR BAG REPLACEMENT ON MY 2008 FORD EDGE. IT SAID PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE, AND I WOULD BE NOTIFIED AGAIN WHEN IT WAS AVAILABLE. IN OCTOBER OF 2016 I RECEIVED MILITARY ORDERS TO MOVE FROM CALIFORNIA TO BELGIUM, AND BROUGHT MY CAR WITH ME. I RECEIVED ANOTHER NOTICE IN NOV 2018 THAT THE PART WAS NOW AVAILABLE. I HAVE SINCE CONTACTED FORD SEVERAL TIMES VIA THE CUSTOMER SERVICE NUMBER PROVIDED ON THE RECALL FORM. THE REPRESENTATIVES HAVE REPEATEDLY GIVEN ME MISINFORMATION. DURING MY LAST CALL WITH CUSTOMER SERVICE JUST YESTERDAY, IT WAS CONFIRMED BY THE REPRESENTATIVE, THAT DUE TO MY CURRENT RESIDENCE IN BELGIUM, REPLACING THE AIRBAG WAS JUST NOT AN OPTION. SHE SAID THE FORD RECALL COMPUTER DOES NOT CONNECT WITH BELGIUM. WHEN I CONTACTED A BELGIUM FORD DEALER, THEY HAD NO IDEA WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT, NO VISIBILITY TO THE RECALL. THE DEALER HERE ALSO TOLD ME THEY HAVE HAD TO TURN AWAY NUMEROUS OTHERS IN MY SAME SITUATION. I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO NOW. WE HAVE A FAMILY OF FOUR, AND I AM WORRIED ABOUT THEIR SAFETY. I WILL NOT BE BACK IN THE U.S. FOR AT LEAST 3 YEARS, MAYBE LONGER. HELP!? THANK YOU. W.S.

WATER PUMP WENT OUT CAUSING CAR TO OVERHEAT. OVER VIEW OF VEHICLE DETERMINED THAT WHEN THE PUMP WENT OUT IT MIXED THE ANTIFREEZE AND OIL INSIDE THE ENGINE. INSTEAD OF JUST REPLACING THE WATER PUMP NOW I NEED A WHOLE NEW ENGINE.

WHISTLING NOISE WHEN BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSED AND SOMETIMES BRAKE PEDAL IS HARD TO DEPRESS MAKING STOPS SEEM LIKELY UNSTOPPABLE ALSO REAR BRAKES MAKE TERRIBLE NOISE WHEN BACKING PADS AND ROTORS ARE OKAY.
