SERVICE BRAKES
THE BRAKE PEDAL ON MY 2009 EDGE BEGAN MAKING A HORRIBLE NOISE AND GOING RIGHT TO THE FLOOR ON OCCASION WHEN PRESSED BOTH WHEN STATIONARY OR ON THE ROAD. WITHIN ONE WEEK IT CONTINUED TO GET WORSE WITH THE NOISE GETTING LOUDER AND THE PEDAL GOING TO THE FLOOR MORE FREQUENTLY. WHEN WE BROUGHT IT INTO FORD WE WERE TOLD THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE BOOSTER ASSEMBLY FOR THE EDGE. ONCE THEY ENTERED THE VIN NUMBER WE WERE TOLD THAT OUR EDGE WAS BUILT MONTHS BEFORE THE RECALL DATE AND THAT IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED. WE WERE CHARGED $675.63 FOR THE PARTS AND LABOR AND WE WERE TOLD TO REPORT IT IN CASE THE DATES WERE EVER EXPANDED TO INCLUDE OUR VEHICLE. *TR

AIR BAGS
TAKATA RECALL: I RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER DATED JULY 2016 FROM FORD INFORMING ME THAT "A RUPTURED INFLATOR MAY RESULT IN METAL FRAGMENTS STRIKING VEHICLE OCCUPANTS CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH." I TOOK THE CAR THE FORD DEALERSHIP IN ROCKWALL, TEXAS AND WAS TOLD THEY DID NOT HAVE THE REPAIR PARTS AND DID NOT KNOW WHEN THEY WOULD GET THEM. FIVE MONTHS LATER, I WROTE A COMPLAINT LETTER TO THE CEO OF FORD OBJECTING TO THE RISK TO MY FAMILY OF DRIVING THAT DEFECTIVE VEHICLE. ON JANUARY 3, 2017, I RECEIVED A FORM LETTER BACK FROM FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE THAT IS WORTHLESS. I DO NOT BELIEVE THERE IS ANY SERIOUS INTENTION TO SOLVE THIS DANGEROUS SITUATION. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
BRAKES ARE MAKING A SOUND LIKE ITS BLOWING AIR. THE BRAKE GETS REALLY HARD TO PRESS THE BRAKE PEDDLE WHILE STOPPING, THEN GETS REALLY SOFT AND I CAN PUSH IT ALL THE WAY DOWN. I HAVE ONLY OWNED MY CAR FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS AND I HAVE ALMOST BEEN IN 2 ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF THE BRAKES. USUALLY THIS HAPPENS WHILE SLOWING DOWN AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS.

SERVICE BRAKES
THE BRAKE PEDAL HAS A SPONGY FEEL AND YOU CAN HEAR AN AUDIBLE "HISSING" NOISE INSIDE THE CAR. THE NOISE WILL GO AWAY AS YOU APPLY DIFFERENT PRESSURES TO THE BRAKE PEDAL, BUT THEN WILL COME BACK AS SOON AS YOU MAINTAIN THE SAME LEVEL OF PRESSURE. THERE IS A KNOW CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM 13N02 (EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR BRAKE BOOSTER), AND AFTER READING THE DESCRIPTION AND DETAILS OF THE PROGRAM, THE SYMPTOMS ARE IDENTICAL. I CALLED THE DEALER AND AFTER RUNNING THE VIN NUMBER, I WAS TOLD THAT MY CAR DID NOT QUALIFY. I ALSO KNOW THAT IT IS NOT ANOTHER BRAKE COMPONENT AS THE VEHICLE HAS BRAND NEW FRONT AND REAR ROTORS, FRONT AND REAR PADS, AND BRAND NEW BRAKE FLUID IN THE SYSTEM. IT IS NOT VERY DIFFICULT TO DEDUCE THAT THERE'S SOME TYPE OF VACUUM LEAK (OR AIR LEAK) WHEN YOU HEAR HISSING NOISES COMING FROM THE CAR. VEHICLE IS STILL DRIVING, BUT PROBLEM CONTINUES TO GET WORSE AND FROM WHAT I'VE READ ON THE INTERNET, THE BRAKE BOOSTER WILL EVENTUALLY FAIL AND COULD CAUSE A DANGEROUS DRIVING SITUATION.

FORD EDGE 2009 STALLING. CALLED CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM AND WAS TOLD BY VEHICLE MANUFACTURE DATE & PLACE WHERE IT WAS MANUFACTURED, THAT THERE TNO ISSUES. VEHICLE CANNOT SIT IN IDLE FOR LONGER THEN 5 MINUTES AND STALLS. AFRAID TO TAKE ON HIGHWAY DUE TO SO MANY PEOPLE HAVING STALLING ISSUES. OBVIOUSLY FORD DOES NOT WANT TO STAND BEHIND THEIR CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. THIS IS A 2009 AND HAS ONLY 109,000 MILES ON IT. CANNOT BE DRIVEN WITHOUT IT STALLING 3 TIMES IN A MATTER OF AN HOUR. AS FORD IS WELL AWARE, THIS IS DUE TO A FAULTY THROTTLE BODY. THEY SUGGEST BRINGING IT INTO DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC, OF WHICH THEY ARE FULLY AWARE THAT IT DOES NOT SHOW UP ON THE DIAGNOSTIC READINGS. JUST A REASON FOR THEM TO CHARGE YOU FOR A TEST THAT WILL SHOW NOTHING. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR OVER A YEAR NOW. STARTED OUT AS A STALL ONCE EVERY 4-5 MINS, BUT IS NOW A DAILY OCCURRENCE WHEN THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN.

POWER TRAIN
THE 2009 FORD EDGE I OWN HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING SLIPPING AND SURGES IN ACCELERATION WHILE TRYING TO MAINTAIN A CONSTANT SPEED AT A 45-55 MPH RANGE. WHILE DECELERATING THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS AND REVS UP AND DOWN CAUSING THE CAR TO JERK FORWARD AND/OR SUDDENLY SLOW OR STOP. THERE ARE NUMEROUS TSB FOR THE 2009 FORD EDGE TRANSMISSION ( TSB 10-21-2, 10-17-4, 10-9-9, 13-5-27. HOWEVER, THE TSB'S STATE THAT THEY ONLY COVER 2009 - 2011 MODELS BUILT 3/13/2009 - 6/30/2010. THE TSB'S EXPLICITLY INDICATE THE 6F50 AND 6F55 TRANSMISSION. MY 2009 FORD EDGE HAS A 6F50 TRANSMISSION THAT HAPPENS TO BE BUILT ON 10/24/2008 AND THEREFORE, FORD IS LIMITING ITS LIABILITY BECAUSE A DATE RANGE WAS PLACED ON THE TSB. YET, MY CAR EXUDES THE SAME PERFORMANCE AND FLAWS OUTLINED IN THE NUMEROUS TSB'S. AS WELL, THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHER COMPLAINTS ON NHTSA RELATED TO THE 2009 FORD THAT FORD IS REFUSING TO REPAIR IF IT FALLS OUTSIDE OF THE DATE RANGE. THIS IS A VERY SHALLOW WAY OF LIMITING LIABILITY AND A LACK OF RESPONSIBILITY AND ETHICS ON FORDS PART, IMO. I WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT TSB 10-9-9 COVERED 2009 FORD EDGE BUILT BETWEEN 12/11/2009 AND 4/15/2010 AND THEN TSB 10-21-2 EXTENDS THE DATE RANGE TO 3/13/2009 THROUGH 6/30/2010. AN INVESTIGATION SHOULD CONSIDER IF THE 6F55 AND 6F50 TRANSMISSIONS IN GENERAL SHOULD BE RECALLED. GIVEN THAT MY CAR MEETS ALL CRITERIA OTHER THAN A DATE FOR A WELL KNOWN DEFECT, IT APPEARS FORD HAS FOUND A GREAT WAY TO CIRCUMVENT LIABILITY ON POOR DESIGNS AND MANUFACTURING AND PLACE THE FINANCIAL BURDEN AND SAFETY RISK ON THE CONSUMER. I AM REQUESTING THAT AN INVESTIGATION BE INITIATED TO EXPAND THE TSBS RELATED TO THE 2009 FORD EDGE TO A RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSIONS IN QUESTION, 6F50 AND 6F55. CURRENTLY, FORDS ONLY RESPONSE IS TO REQUEST THAT I PAY THE REPAIRS AND KEEP THE RECEIPT IN CASE THE TSB EXPANDS TO COVER MY MANUFACTURING DATE. COMPLAINING HERE IS MY RESOLUTION:)
