ENGINE
OUR WATER PUMP ON OUR 2008 FORD EDGE LIMITED, SUFFERED A BREAKDOWN WHICH ALLOWED WATER TO ENTER THE ENGINE INTERNALLY. THE WATER MIXED WITH THE OIL INSIDE THE ENGINE CAUSING A COMPLETE ENGINE FAILURE. WE WERE INFORMED IT WOULD COST $7,800.00 TO INSTALL A NEW FORD ENGINE. AT THE TIME OF ENGINE FAILURE THE ODOMETER SHOWED 105,000 MILES. THE CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN IN TOWN AT A SPEED OF 35 MILES PER HOUR IN THE MONTH OF AUGUST, 2019. I NOTICED THE AIR CONDITIONING WAS BLOWING HOT AIR SO I GLANCED AT THE DASHBOARD TO SEE THE ENGINE TEMPERATURE GAUGE REGISTERING H (HOT). AT NO TIME DID THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT COME ON TO ALERT ME OF AN ENGINE PROBLEM. I HAD THE EDGE TOWED TO A GARAGE WHERE WE WERE SHOWN A BILL FOR $7,800 TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE ENGINE DUE TO THE WATER PUMP BURSTING AND LEAKING WATER INTO THE ENGINE WHICH MIXED WITH OIL IN THE ENGINE. WE BELIEVE THIS ENGINE FAILURE WAS THE DIRECT RESULT OF THE LOCATION OF THE WATER PUMP WHICH WAS "INTERNALLY" IN THE ENGINE.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD EDGE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO COGGIN FORD JACKSONVILLE (9650 ATLANTIC BLVD, JACKSONVILLE, FL 32225 (904) 747-8996) FOR THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V682000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE FUEL TANK WAS REPAIRED WITH A WAX SEAL. ONE MONTH LATER THE CONTACT NOTICED A LARGE FUEL LEAK FROM UNDER THE FUEL TANK. THE CONTACT CALLED THE DEALER AND GOT A RETURN APPOINTMENT. THE DEALER TRIED TO CHARGE THE CONTACT $1,600 FOR THE FUEL TANK EVEN AFTER THE INITIAL RECALL REPAIR WAS COVERED UNDER A 12 MONTH 12,000 MILE WARRANTY. THE DEALER REFERRED THE CONTACT BACK TO THE MANUFACTURER. THE CONTACT GOT A CASE FROM THE MANUFACTURER WHO STATED KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE RECALL WARRANTY. THE MANAGER AT CUSTOMER RELATIONS AT THE MANUFACTURER STATED THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT THE ISSUE AND HUNG UP ON THE CONTACT. THE RESULT WAS THAT THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN AT THE DEALER FOR TWO WEEKS AND WAS STILL UNREPAIRED. THE CONTACT JUST SPOKE TO THE DEALER TODAY AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NO REPLACEMENT FUEL TANK FOR THE REPAIRS AND TO COME TOW HIS VEHICLE AWAY AND FIX IT HIMSELF WITH A USED PART.

NOTIFIED OF AIRBAG SAFETY RECALL NHTSA 19V-001, SAFETY RECALL NOTICE 19S01 YET, I HAVE ATTEMPTED MANY TIMES TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT WITH PLANET LINCOLN/PLANET FORD IN HUMBLE AND WOODLANDS, TX. WHEN THEY DISCOVER I NEED A LOANER NO APPOINTMENT IS EVER MADE. THEY PROMISE TO CALL BACK WHEN A LOANER IS AVAILABLE AND NEVER DO. FORD AND LINCOLN SEND ME NOTIFICATION REGULARLY THAT THIS NEEDS TO ME TAKEN CARE OF. I HAVE RELATED THE SAME TO THEM. I SUPPOSE THEY THINK THEY WON'T BE HELD RESPONSIBLE IF SOMETHING HAPPENS TO MY AIRBAGS, BUT THEY WILL. I HAVE NAMES, DATES, AND CONVERSATIONS DOCUMENTED.

POWER TRAIN
WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE IT LOSES THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE AND ONLY ALLOWS ME TO TRY TO PULL OFF THE ROAD TO A SAFE PLACE WITH THE MOMENTUM OF THE VEHICLE BEFORE IT LOST POWER. IF I AM NOT AT A PLACE WHERE I CAN IMMEDIATELY PULL OFF SAFELY I AM STRANDED IN TRAFFIC. WHEN THIS OCCURS I AM ABLE TO TURN OFF MY VEHICLE FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME AND WHEN I RESTART IT, THE VEHICLE RESUMES NORMAL OPERATION UNTIL THIS HAPPENS AGAIN. IT HAS HAPPENED IN VARIOUS WEATHER CONDITIONS AND AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. WHEN THE ACCELERATION IS LOST THE POWERTRAIN FAULT LIGHT COMES ON.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
2008 FORD EDGE SEL....WITH 6F50 TRANSMISSION....165000 MILES.... VEHICLE SHIFTS EXTERNALLY HARD FROM 3RD TO 4TH GEAR WITH A HARD JERK AND LOAD KLUNK, SO MUCH SO THAT IT HAS STARTED CAUSING ME NECK PROBLEMS FROM TENSING UP IN ANTICIPATION OF THE JERK. ALSO 2 TWICE UP GOING FROM PARK TO DRIVE, HAD AN EXTREMLY LOAD NOISE IN TRANSMISSION THAT SHOOK THE ENTIRE VEHICLE AND AS I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE THE RPM ROSE BUT THE CAR BARELY EASED FORWARD AND THE TRANSMISSION SOUNDED AS THOUGH IT WERE IN A BIND. I THEN PUT IT IN PARK, TURNED THE IGNITION OFF, PULLED OUT THE KEY, OPEN AND SHUT THE DOOR AS TO PRETEND I WAS EXITING, THEN PUT KEY BACK INTO IGNITION, STARTED THE CAR, PUT IT IN GEAR (NO PROBLEM) AND ACCELERATED AS NORMAL (NO PROBLEM), EXCEPT WHEN IT SHIFTED FROM 3RD TO 4TH WHICH IS AROUND 25MPH. I HAVE NOT AND DO NOT HAVE ANY LIGHTS ON IN THE INSTRUMENT DISPLAY PANEL NOR DO I HAVE ANY ERROR CODES SHOWING. MACANIC SAYS IT WOULD BE AN EXPENSIVE SHOT IN THE DARK TO START RANDOMLY CHANGING OUT SENSORS AND CHANGING OUT TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM AS IT IS NOT AN ISSUE WITH THE MECHANICS OF THE TRANSMISSION BUT AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE. I'VE ALSO TRIED A HARD REBOOT TO THE CARS ELECTRICAL SYSTEM TO POSSIBLY CLEAR ANY STORED ELECTRICAL ISSUES, PROBLEM STILL EXISTS!!! DEFINITELY A RECALL NEEDED, DUE TO SAFETY ISSUES WHILE DRIVING AND PHYSICAL CONDITIONS THAT COULD ARISE FROM THE TENSING UP IN EXPECTATION OF THE HARD JERK......

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, WHEELS
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE TRUCK LOST ALL POWER. THE ONLY CHOICE I HAD WAS TO STEER THE WHEEL TO A SAFE POSITION ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. WHEN THE HAPPENED THE DOORS WERE LOCKED WINDOWS WERE CLOSED SHUT I WAS ALMOST UNABLE TO GET OF THE TRUCK SAFELY. ALSO I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AFTER GET A NEW SET OF TIRES AND THE TRUCK BEGAN TO MAKE A SCRUBBING SOUND AS IF THE WHEELS WAS GRINDING AGAINST SOMETHING NOTHING WAS THERE. I REMEMBER A RECALL ON THE WHEEL HUB AND I HAVE HAD THE TRUCK FOR ABOUT 2 YEARS AND I DON'T RECALL GETTING THE PROBLEM REPAIRED BUT MY VIN RETURNS BACK NO ACTIVE RECALLS AND I CAN NOT HELP BUT WONDER IF THERE IS AN ERROR.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE DRIVER SIDE BRAKE/TURN SIGNAL STOPPED WORKING ON 10/10/19 AND WHEN I REMOVED THE TAILLIGHT THE SOCKET WAS MELTED TOGETHER WITH THE LIGHT ASSEMBLY WISH I HAD A HARD TIME TAKING IT APART, I CALLED FORD SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT UNLESS I PAY TO FIX IT, THE CAR PARTS SHOULDN'T MELT THAT IS WHY THE VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH FUSES TO BURN OUT BEFORE THE VEHICLE CATCHES ON FIRE.
