STRUCTURE
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS OF 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS AND WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER ADVISED THERE WAS A MOUSE LIVING IN THE VEHICLE AND EATING THE AIR FILTER AND SENSORS. THERE WERE UNKNOWN REPAIRS MADE TO THE VEHICLE HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE CONTACT BELIEVED THERE TO BE A DESIGN FLAW IN THE VEHICLE THAT WOULD ALLOW A MOUSE TO LIVE AND DAMAGE THE VEHICLE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 10,000.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH AND 2010 FORD EDGE COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. I HAD NO WARNING, ALL GAUGES WERE OFF, NO POWER, AND NO HAZARD LIGHTS. FORD HAS HAD THE CAR FOR 10 DAYS TRYING TO FIX IT. THEY HAVE PUT 200 MILES ON IT AND BROUGHT IN A FORD ENGINEER (SPECIALIST) TO TRY AND LOCATE AND FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, CANNOT FIGURE WHAT CAUSED IT AND HAVE NOT REPLACED NOR FIXED ANY PARTS ON THE CAR. THEY WANT TO RELEASE THE CAR BACK TO ME TO WAIT AND SEE IF AND WHEN IT HAPPENS AGAIN. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE AS THIS CAR HAS A KNOWN SERIOUS SAFETY DEFECT WITH POTENTIAL CATASTROPHIC CONSEQUENCES. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM
I AM HAVING WHAT MAY BE A VERY SERIOUS HEALTH/HAZARD ISSUE WITH MY 2008 FORD EDGE. THE PROBLEM IS WHEN YOU DRIVE THE VEHICLE OIL IS LEAKING FROM THE TRANSMISSION/PTU SEAL ON TO THE MUFFLER/LEADPIPE,BURNING ,AND SENDING TOXIC FUMES THROUGH THE FRESH AIR SYSTEM. I HAD TO PULL OVER TODAY TO AIR THE VEHICLE OUT, IN WHICH IT HAS LEFT ME SICK FROM THE BURNING FUMES. WHEN SITTING OIL IS LEAKING ONTO THE GROUND. I HAVE CONTACTED MY FORD DEALER, IN WHICH THEY HAVE ATTEMPTED TO REPAIR WITH FORD UPDATED SEALS. THE ISSUE THAT I AM DEALING WITH IS WHAT I BELIEVE IS A SERIOUS HEALTH RISK TO THE DRIVER OR PASSENGERS OF THIS VEHICLE. I ASK FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE IN THIS MATTER. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
THE INSTRUMENT PANEL, MAINLY THE SPEEDOMETER, ON MY 2010 FORD EDGE IS VERY DIFFICULT TO READ UNDER SOME DAYLIGHT CONDITIONS. THE GAUGES ARE DARK GRAY BACKGROUND WITH BLACK NUMBER GRADUATIONS WHILE LIGHTS ARE OFF AND RED NEEDLE. ESPECIALLY DURING DAWN AND DUSK CONDITIONS WITH A CLOUDY SKY, SHORTLY AFTER SUN-UP AND SHORTLY BEFORE SUN-DOWN, WHILE SKY IS STILL QUITE BRIGHT AND ROADWAY IS DARKENING, AND YOUR DRIVING FACING THE SUN, THE SPEEDOMETER IS VERY DIFFICULT TO READ. A QUICK GLANCE SHOWS ONLY THE RED NEEDLE WITH DARK BACKGROUND. IT TAKES CLOSE TO 5 SECONDS FOR EYES TO ADJUST BEFORE NUMBERS CAN BE READ AND YOU CAN SEE VEHICLE SPEED. SITUATION IS NOT IMPROVED WHEN LIGHTS ARE ON DURING THESE CONDITIONS. NUMBERS TURN FROM BLACK TO GREEN WITH ILLUMINATION AND THERE IS NOT ENOUGH CONTRAST WITH GRAY BACKGROUND DURING DAYLIGHT HOURS TO IMPROVE CONDITION. ON RAINY DAYS WITH DARK ROAD CONDITIONS AND SKY IS SOMEWHAT BRIGHTER, THE SAME CONDITION EXISTS, ESPECIALLY WHEN DRIVING TOWARDS THE SUN, EVEN THOUGH IT IS CLOUD COVERED. IT TAKES SO LONG FOR EYES TO ADJUST SO SPEEDOMETER CAN BE READ THAT YOU COULD RUN OFF THE ROAD OR INTO SOMEONE. ALSO, UNDER MOST DAYLIGHT CONDITIONS, THE METRIC SCALE IS IMPOSSIBLE TO READ, REGARDLESS OF HOW LONG YOU TRY TO FOCUS ON IT. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM
I PURCHASED A 2010 EDGE LIMITED FOR A GIFT & THE NEXT DAY I NOTICED THE STRONG ODOR OF ANTIFREEZE COMING FROM THE HEATING SYSTEM. MY WIFE ALSO NOTICED THE SAME ODOR WHEN SHE DROVE IT CHRISTMAS DAY. SHE HAS TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER IT WAS PURCHASED FROM & THE LOCAL DEALER & BOTH SAY THEY CAN NOT FIND ANY PROBLEM. IT IS VERY NOTICEABLE WHEN THE ENGINE IS COLD, THEN COMES & GOES THROUGH OUT THE DAY. BEING A MECHANIC FOR OVER 35 YEARS TELLS ME THE HEATER CORE AND OR RELATED COMPONENTS HAVE A VERY SMALL COOLANT LEAK. WE HAVE TO CRACK A WINDOW OR OPEN THE SUNROOF WHEN THE HEAT IS ON TO LET THE FUMES ESCAPE OR YOU CAN STAND TO BE IN THE CAR. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
HELLO I DON'T WANT TO WASTE TIME GOING INTO DETAIL WITHOUT KNOWING WHETHER SOMEONE AT FORD WILL GET THIS...SO LET ME JUST SAY THAT I HAVE BEEN WITH FORD SINCE 1988 WHEN I BOUGHT A BRONCO. IN 1992, I BOUGHT AN EDDIE BAUER EXPLORER AND HAVE HAD EXPLORERS UP UNTIL THIS PAST YEAR WHEN I BOUGHT YOUR CROSSOVER, THE EDGE. IT IS A NICE CAR, RIDES NICELY BUT HAS A LOT OF ROAD NOISE THAT I DID NOT EXPERIENCE WITH THE EXPLORERS. MY BIGGEST CONCERN/PROBLEM IS THAT THE SPEEDOMETER IS TUCKED DEEP INTO THE RIGHT HAND CORNER OF THE DASH AND CAN NOT BE SEEN DURING MOST OF THE TIME WHILE DRIVING. SEEING IT DEPENDS ON HOW THE LIGHT IS COMING IN. I HAVE CAUGHT MYSELF GOING 80 AND NOT REALIZING IT SINCE THE DIAL IS JUST ONE BIG BLACK CIRCLE. DURING RAIN STORMS, THE LIGHTS COME ON, THE RED INDICATORS ARE LIT, BUT THE SPEED NUMBERS ARE LOST IN THE DARK. THIS, I BELIEVE, IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. I'VE BEEN TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAY THAT THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE. I HAVE NEVER HAD A CAR WHERE THE CRUCIAL SPEED DIAL CAN NOT BE SEEN. I THINK THAT YOUR FORD ENGINEERS GOOFED ON THIS DESIGN. THE TACH ON THE LEFT SIDE IS ALWAYS VISIBLE....BUT NOT THE SPEEDOMETER. CAN YOU HELP WITH THIS PROBLEM? THANKS FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
PURCHASED A 2010 FORD EDGE SEL AWD ON JULY 27, 2009. ON AUGUST 12, 2009, VEHICLE BEGAN BELLOWING SMOKE FROM THE WHEEL WELLS. BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE TO BE TOLD THAT THE PTU SEAL WAS BLOWN. THEY REPLACED THE SEAL AND INSTALLED A DEFLECTOR SO AS TO NOT BE ABLE TO SMELL THE BURNING FLUID AS QUICKLY. FORD HAS BEEN ISSUING TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS ON THIS SINCE 2007. DUE TO THE FLUID LOSS, IT CAUSES THE TRANSMISSION TO SLIP. FORD CONTINUES TO CLAIM THAT IT CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. ALSO, THE ENGINE IS SQUEALING LOUDLY, DUE TO THE ISSUES MENTIONED ABOVE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD EDGE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH HE WAS UNABLE TO VIEW THE SPEED ODOMETER. DUE TO THE DESIGN OF THE VEHICLE, THE DRIVER IS ONLY ABLE TO READ THE SPEEDOMETER AT NIGHT. THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO ASSIST THE CONTACT SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS DESIGNED THAT WAY. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED ON AUGUST 19, 2009. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10.
