TAKATA RECALL I HAVE CONTACTED MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP AGAIN ~ THEY CONTACTED FORD SUPPORT AND WERE TOLD THAT THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE AND I WOULD RECEIVE A LETTER WHEN PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. MY FORD DEALERSHIP WAS TOLD THAT IF THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS NOT ON, MY VEHICLE IS SAFE TO DRIVE. IF MY AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON, I AM TO BRING MY VEHICLE IN AND THE REASON WOULD BE INVESTIGATED.

IN MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME UNCONTROLLABLE AND IMPOSSIBLE TO STRAIGHTEN OUT CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO CONTINUE IN ITS TURNING RADIUS AND CRASH INTO A SIGN ON THE SIDEWALK. THE VEHICLE WAS TRANSPORTED TO A SALVAGE YARD. I AM OF THE BELIEF THAT THE BALL JOINT FAILED. WE HAVE ALWAYS MAINTAINED THE CAR AT FORD AUTHORIZED DEALERSHIPS AND EVEN REPLACED THE BALL JOINTS RECENTLY. THIS CAR HAS A PROPENSITY FOR FAILING BALL JOINTS.

IN MOTION THE BRAKE BOOSTER FAILED CAUSING LOSS OF POWER TO THE BRAKES. A SOUND OF AIR COULD BE HEARD WITHIN THE CAIN.THIS FAILURE ALMOST CAUSED A CRASH INVOLVING MYSELF AND GRANDCHILDREN.

IT'S BEEN SINCE JUNE 1, 2016 THIS AIR BAG RECALL HAS BEEN IN EFFECT. WHEN WILL IT BE RESOLVED?

IN MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN, THE STEERING LOCKED UP PREVENTING STRAIGHTENING OF VEHICLE AND CAUSING DRIVER TO CRASH.

TAKATA RECALL***" RECEIVED NOTICE IN JULY 2016 THAT MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED IN THE TAKATA RECALL, FOR A DEFECTIVE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG INFLATOR. AT FIRST THE NOTICE, AND THEN SEVERAL SUBSEQUENT CALLS TO FORD MOTOR COMPANY HEADQUARTERS, ALL STATED IT WAS SAFE TO CARRY A FRONT PASDENGER. AS OTHERS MONTHS AND MONTHS PASSED WITHOUT ANY NOTICE. I MADE SEVERAL CALLS TO MY LOCAL FORD DEALER OVER THE 18 MONTH PERIOD, REQUESTING AN APPOINTMENT FOR REPLACEMENT. THEY ACTUALLY TREATED ME AS IF I WAS STUPID FOR CALLING WITHOUT HAVING AN OFFICIAL NOTICE TO REPLACE THE PART. FINALLY I RECEIVED ANOTHER NOTICE SAYING PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE IN THE SPRING, BUT ALSO STAYING "DO NOT DRIVE WITH A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT SEAT." FORTUNATELY AND UNFORTUNATELY, WE HAVE NOT USED THE VEHICLE WITH A FRONT PASSENGER. SO, FOR THE PAST 21 MONTHS I HAVE HAD ONLY A 1 PASSENGER VEHICLE, WHICH US IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND HAS ONLY 88,000 MILES ON IT. THIS HAS BEEN AN UNBELIEVABLE, RIDICULOUS SITUATION FOR ALL.

PARTS NOT AVAILABLE UNTIL SPRIG 2018 - NOW WE HAVE HEARD NOTHING AND THIS IS AN INCONVENIENCE THAT GOES BEYOND RIDICULOUS. LOOKED UP ON YOUR SITE AND NO AIRBAG RECALL INFO.

"TAKATA RECALL" - THIS VEHICLE IS NOW 10 YEARS OLD. MY PARTICULAR VEHICLE IS IN EXCELLENT SHAPE AND I WANT MY AIRBAG REPLACED ASAP. MY MOTHER OFTEN RIDES IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT....SHOULD SHE BE HARMED BY THIS DEFECTIVE AIRBAG, MY FAMILY WILL SUE FORD AS I AM SURE MANY FORD EDGE OWNERS WILL DO. FIX IT NOW.

TAKATA RECALL. MY EDGE IS A 2008. ALL THAT I READ ADVISED OLDER VEHICLES ARE AT A HIGHER RISK. I BELIEVE A 10 YEAR OLD VEHICLES QUALIFIES AS "OLDER". I AM NOT ABLE TO TAKE A SECOND PERSON WITH ME ANYWHERE UNLESS THEY SIT IN THE BACK SEAT. THE LAST INFO I RECEIVED HAS SCARED ME. I AM NOT IN A POSITION TO PURCHASE A NEW CAR AND I FEEL THAT IT IS BEYOND TIME THAT THIS ISSUE IS TAKEN CARE OF. YOU CAN NOT CONTACT FORD ABOUT THIS. I WAS TOLD BY ONE OF THEIR REPRESENTATIVES THAT THEIR EMAIL HAS BEEN REMOVE BECAUSE OF THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS. I PAID FOR A 5 PASSENGER VEHICLE AND IT IS NOW A 4 PASSENGER BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. LOCAL FORD DEALERS HAVE PRETTY MUCH WRITTEN THE ISSUE OFF AND HONESTLY I GUESS IT IS BEYOND THEIR CONTROL TO DO ANYTHING. FORD WON'T TAKE COMPLAINTS. I AM BEYOND FRUSTRATED WITH THIS ISSUE

I AM HAVING AN ISSUE WITH MY WHEEL BEARING AND THERE IS A RECALL 270760 AND MY VIN # WAS NOT ON THE LIST. MY CAR WAS RUNNING PERFECTLY FINE AND THEN WHEN I GOT NEW TIRES, THEY TOLD ME THAT MY WHEEL BEARINGS WERE WEAK. IN THE BEGINNING, BEFORE I GOT MY TIRES, THE CAR STARTED VIBRATING AND GRINDING. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE AUTO REPAIR TO LOOK AT IT, THEY TOLD ME THAT IT MAY BE THE TIRES, WHICH I DID NEEDED TO REPLACE. SO I DID. THE SOUND DID NOT GO AWAY. FINALLY, THEY DID MORE CHECKING AND TOLD ME ABOUT THE RECALL AND THAT I NEEDED TO TAKE TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP TO GET IT FIXED. I CALLED THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY REFUSED TO DO THE WORK. JERRY'S FORD IN ALEXANDRIA, LITTLE RIVER TURNPIKE.

TAKATA INFLATORS THIS IS MY SECOND COMPLAINT. THE FIRST ONE, MADE IN DECEMBER 2017, DOES NOT SHOW UP UNDER THE COMPLAINTS SECTION, WHICH MAKES IT SEEM LIKE PERHAPS ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS ARE NOT RECORDED APPROPRIATELY BY THE NHTSA! THE FIRST NOTIFICATION OF THE AIRBAG RECALL WAS RECEIVED IN JULY 2016. EACH TIME I HAVE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP SINCE THEN, I HAVE BEEN TOLD REPLACEMENT AIRBAGS ARE STILL UNAVAILABLE FOR MY 2008 FORD EDGE. I SEE ON THIS SITE THAT SOME OWNERS HAVE RECEIVED A LETTER TELLING THEM NOT TO USE THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. THAT WOULD BE COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE, AS THE REASON WE PURCHASED THE FORD EDGE WAS SO THAT WE WOULD HAVE ENOUGH SEATS TO SAFELY TRANSPORT OUR FAMILY MEMBERS. THERE IS NO WAY TO DISABLE THE AIRBAGS, ACCORDING TO THE VEHICLE'S MANUAL, AND I AM TERRIFIED THE AIRBAG WILL CAUSE DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURIES TO ME, MY SPOUSE, ONE OF MY CHILDREN OR GRANDCHILDREN. IT IS TAKING A TOLL ON MY PHYSICAL AND MENTAL WELL-BEING WHENEVER I HAVE TO DRIVE MY CAR. I CANNOT SELL MY CAR THRU CARMAX OR ONE OF THE OTHER SITES, BECAUSE THEY DO NOT ACCEPT VEHICLES WITH UNADDRESSED RECALLS. AND IT WOULD BE MORALLY AND ETHICALLY WRONG TO SELL A DANGEROUSLY DEFECTIVE VEHICLE TO ANOTHER INDIVIDUAL WITHOUT DISCLOSING THE AIRBAG DEFECT. AND WHO WOULD WANT TO BUY A DEFECTIVE VEHICLE! SO I CANNOT EVEN PURCHASE A NEW SAFE VEHICLE IN WHICH TO TRANSPORT MY LOVED ONES!! THIS AIRBAG RECALL SITUATION HAS ALREADY TAKEN AN UNREASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME TO RESOLVE; WITH NO ANTICIPATED RESO

TAKATA RECALL NHTSA RECALL NUMBER: 16V384 THIS RECALL WAS ISSUED IN JUNE OF 2016. THE RECALL STATES, "THE PASSENGER FRONTAL AIRBAG INFLATOR COULD RUPTURE IF THE VEHICLE IS INVOLVED IN A CRASH..." IT IS NOW FEBRUARY 2018, NEARLY 2 YEARS LATER AND FORD STATES THAT PARTS ARE STILL NOT AVAILABLE. FORD HAS ADVISED ME TO "NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO SIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT." IT IS COMPLETELY UNREASONABLE FOR ME TO NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO SIT IN MY FRONT PASSENGER SEAT FOR NEARLY 2 YEARS AND STILL NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO COMPLETE THIS RECALL. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND IT IS NOT BEING HANDLED IN A "TIMELY MANNER" AS REQUIRED BY THE NHTSA.

MY LARGEST COMPLAINT IS THAT MY FATHER WHO OWNS A 2008 DODGE DAKOTA GOT THE VERY SAME RECALL AND HAS HAD HIS FIXED AND REPLACED IN A TIMELY MANNER. MY VEHICLE HOWEVER SEEMS TO BE SETTING ON THE BACK BURNER AWAITING THIS FIX SINCE MY INITIAL LETTER WAS RECEIVED. IT WILL BE 2 YEARS IN JULY THAT I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FIX TO HAPPEN AND I REFUSE TO, OR CANNOT, PARK MY VEHICLE AS IT IS MY ONLY FORM OF TRANSPORTATION. THEREFORE MY PASSENGERS, AS WELL AS MY OWN, LIFE IS ON THE LINE BECAUSE OF THIS SERIOUS SNAFU.

TAKATA AIRBAGS ALMOST 2 YEARS AFTER FORD ISSUED RECALL, THERE IS STILL NOT A REMEDY IN PLACE.

SEAT CAUGHT ON FIRE DUE TO SEAT WARMER ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTION MY VEHICLE WAS NOT IN MOTION IT WAS PARKED

TAKATA RECALL. WHY IS FORD TAKING SOO LONG TO FIX THE ISSUE? I RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE JAN 2017 AND NOW THE SAME NOTICE KEEPS POPING UP, "YOUR VEHICLE IS AFFECTED BY A TAKATA AIRBAGS RECALL. PARTS ARE NOT YET AVAILABLE, BUT YOUR VEHICLE IS SAFE TO DRIVE IN THE MEANTIME." THE ISSUE I HAVE IS WE MOVED BACK FROM MICHIGAN TO ONTARIO CANADA IN JULY OF 2017 AND WE CANNOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE UNTIL THE RECALL IS COMPLETED AND FIXXED. WE HAVE CALLED FORD A COUPLE TIMES AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD LOOK INTO MOVING OUR VICHILE TO THE TOP OF THE LIST BUT THEY HAVE NOT.

TAIL LIGHT AND BLINKER BAULB KEEP MELTING AND BURNING

PTU HAS OVERHEATED CAUSING THE OIL INSIDE TO BECOME BLACK AND GUMMY, ALSO CAUSING ONE OR BOTH SEALS TO FAIL LEADING TO THE UNDERCOATING OF THE VEHICLE TO BE COVERED IN BLACK THICK OIL. THIS WAS NOTICED ONLY AFTER A 200 MILE RUN ON THE INTERSTATE IN THE WINTER OF 2017, 65-80 MPH... WE HAVE SINCE FOUND THAT NUMEROUS OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH THIS GENERATION OF AWD PTU'S AND IS A ENGINEERING ISSUE WITH THE DESIGN OF THE VEHICLE

TAKATA RECALL, IT HAS BEEN ALMOST 2 YEARS SINCE WE WERE NOTIFIED OF RECALL AND WE STILL HAVEN'T HAD OUR CAR FIXED. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY IS AT RISK. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY.

CHECK ENGLINE LIGHT & WRENCH COMES ON AND THE 2008 EDGE SUDDENLY LOST POWER, THEN ENTERED "LIMP MODE". MY HUSBAND TOOK IT IN 3 DIFFERENT TIMES TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT, AND EACH TIME WAS TOLD THEY COULDN'T FIND THE PROBLEM. THE 4TH TIME I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM ON A 45MPH, 3 LANE ROAD. THE POWER JUST WENT OUT, ACCELARATOR NO LONGER WORKED, BUT THEN RETURNED BUT ONLY ABOUT 5MPH. LUCKY I WASN'T KILLED! I TOOK IT BACK TO SERVICE DEPT. AND TOLD THEM THEY NEEDED TO CHECK THE THROTTLE BODY (ETB). THEY LAUGHED AT ME, BUT THEN CALLED 3 DAYS LATER TO TELL ME THAT IT IS THE ETB AND OVER $750. I CONTACTED FORD AS THEY HAD ISSUED THE SO-CALLED "CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM" EXTENDING THE ETB WARRANTY COVERAGE FOR UP TO 10 YEARS OF SERVICE OR 150,000 MILES. FORD SAYS ALL VEHICLES ARE ELIGIBLE FOR THE PROGRAM, REGARDLESS OF MILEAGE, BUT NOT 2008. THOUGH THEY ACKNOWLEDGED THEY KNOW THE PROBLEM GOES BACK TO 2005 MODELS, THEY FEEL MY CAR IS TOO OLD & HAS TOO MANY MILES AT 104K. THIS IS A LIFE THREATENING PROBLEM AND FORD REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING. WHEN SOMEONE DIES BECAUSE OF THIS KNOWN ISSUE, I HOPE THAT FORD EXECUTIVES ARE HELD AS COMPLICITORS IN PREMEDITATED MURDER. AFTER ALL THE PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKES, NO PARTS AVAILABLE, AND NOW THIS, I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER FORD AND WILL GET THIS PIECE OF JUNK OUT OF MY LIFE ASAP.

2008 FORD EDGE. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO AIRBAG SAFETY RECALL. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THERE WAS A TIME RESTRAINT ON HAVING THE RECALL COMPLETED. BUT, THE PARTS TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE WERE UNAVAILABLE. *JS

TAKATA AIRBAGS. WE HAVE BEEN TOLD TO NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO RIDE IN THE PASSANGER SEAT. THIS MAKES THE CAR VERY UNUSABLE. FORD HAS NO IDEA WHEN REPLACEMENT BAGS WILL BE AVAILABLE. THEY HAVE OFFERED NO LOANER CAR. I WANT TO DISCONNECT THE TROUBLESOME AIRBAG SO WE CAN USE THE CAR. NO DAMAGE YET.

IN DECEMBER 2017 I RECEIVED ANOTHER LETTER STATING THAT PARTS WERE STILL NOT AVAILABLE AND WOULD NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL AT SOONEST THE SPRING OF 2018. FORD RECOMMENDED NOT LETTING ANYONE SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT UNTIL REPAIRS WERE MADE. ARE THEY @#$%& KIDDING? THIS IS AN ENTIRELY UNACCEPTABLE RESPONSE AND A RIDICULOUS SUGGESTION. A RESPONSE TIMELINE OF TWO YEARS FOR A POTENTIALLY DEADLY SITUATION AND A SUGGESTION THAT MAKES THE CAR ALMOST UNUSABLE IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. I WISH TO FILE THE MOST STRENUOUS COMPLAINT POSSIBLE.

TAKATA RECALL--RECALL WAS ISSUED IN JUNE OF 2016 FOR THIS VEHICLE, BUT FORD HAS FAILED TO PROVIDE A REMEDY 1 1/2 YEARS LATER. FOR SUCH AN IMPORTANT SAFETY FEATURE HOW IS FORD ALLOWED TO CONTINUE TO DELAY A REMEDY OR ALLOWED TO SELL USED VEHICLES COVERED UNDER THE RECALL BUT HAVE NOT BEEN FIXED?
