SERVICE BRAKES
I WAS DRIVING ALONG AND ATTEMPTED TO STOP AT A RED LIGHT. MY BRAKES SUDDENLY BECAME EXTREMELY RESISTANT TO MY FOOT PRESSURE AND A HIGH PITCHED SQUEALING NOISE ACCOMPANIED THE SITUATION. I WAS NOT ABLE TO STOP IMMEDIATELY BUT MANAGED TO ESCAPE A COLLISION WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I DROVE MY VEHICLE, CAUTIOUSLY, TO A FORD DEALERSHIP AND THE MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM (BRAKE BOOSTER) IMMEDIATELY. HE STATED HE HAD TWO 2007 FORD EDGE VEHICLES IN THE SHOP WITH THE SAME PROBLEM (BAD BRAKE BOOSTER). THE INTERNET IS FLOODED WITH THIS ISSUE IN THE FORD EDGE. I AND MANY OTHERS HAVE BEEN EFFECTED FINANCIALLY AND EMOTIONALLY. A RECALL ON THE BREAK BOOSTER IS NECESSARY TO PREVENT FURTHER INJURY AND FINANCIAL LOSS TO FORD CUSTOMERS. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
STARTED SMELLING GAS SOMETIME IN AUGUST OR SEPTEMBER. TOOK IT TO GET INSPECTED RECENTLY AND TECHNICIAN SMELLED GAS AND CHECK IT OUT. FUEL TANK IS LEAKING. SEEMS TO BE SOME TYPE OF CORROSION ON THE TOP. POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS. GOING TO COST NEARLY $2000 TO REPLACE TANK. SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE ON THE WEB. SHOULD CONSIDER A RECALL. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE SMELL OF GASOLINE PROMPTED ME TO BRING MY FORD EDGE TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP. I WAS INFORMED THAT THE FUEL TANK RUSTED OUT AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I QUESTIONED THIS AS I HAVE OWNED FORD VEHICLES FOR TEN PLUS YEARS APIECE AND NEVER HAD THE PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD IT WAS NOT ABNORMAL. AFTER SEARCHING ONLINE I HAVE FOUND THIS TO BE A FREQUENT OCCURRENCE IN THE FORD EDGE VEHICLE. NOW, I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT IT WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE THIS CAR HOME DUE TO A FIRE HAZARD AND HAD TO RENT A VEHICLE RIGHT THEN AND THERE. FROM THE NUMBER OF ONLINE COMPLAINTS I HAVE READ, I BELIEVE THE FORD EDGE NEEDS TO BE DEEMED UNSAFE DUE TO THE FUEL TANK LEAKING PROBLEM. FORD NEEDS TO OWN UP TO THE FACT THAT THEY ARE PUTTING THEIR CUSTOMERS' LIVES IN DANGER BY NOT RECALLING AND CORRECTING THE FUEL TANKS IN THESE VEHICLES WHICH ARE OBVIOUSLY DEFECTIVE. NOT ONLY THAT, BUT THE ENVIRONMENTAL CONSEQUENCES OF LEAKING FUEL IS A DANGER TO EVERYONE. IT IS NECESSARY TO ALSO MENTION THAT MY VEHICLE WAS SOLD TO ME AS CERTIFIED PRE OWNED ONLY 3 YEARS AGO WITH THE MILEAGE AT 32,579. HOW ARE THEY PRECERTIFYING ? WITH COVER UPS???? SO, IN ESSENCE THE FACT THAT THEY PRECERTIFIED 3 YEARS AGO MEANS THIS PROBLEM EITHER OCCURRED WITHIN 3 YEARS OR THE PRECERTIFICATION WAS BOGUS, EITHER OF WHICH IS UNACCEPTABLE. ALSO, THEIR WARRANTY WHICH COMES WITH THE PRECERT STATES FEB. 2013 OR 100,00 MILES. THEY WILL NOT HONOR THE 100,00 MILES AS THEY SAY IT IS ONLY IF THE 100,00 MILES OCCURS BEFORE THE EXPIRATION DATE. IF THAT WERE TRULY THE CASE, THE WORDING SHOULD SAY "WHICH EVER COMES FIRST." CHECK OUT THE FORD MANUAL TO VERIFY THIS INFO. THEY ARE MISLEADING AND DECEPTIVE IN THEIR WARRANTY DEFINITION AS WELL AS THEIR VEHICLES. I HAVE ALWAYS OWNED A FORD - NEVER HAD A FUEL TANK PROBLEM, LOVED THE VEHICLES, BUT WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER ONE. THEY ARE SHADY AT BEST. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AFTER CONTINUALLY SMELLING GAS WHILE MY VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN THE GARAGE I DISCOVERED A GAS LEAK IN THE FUEL TANK. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC AND HE VERIFIED THE FUEL TANK WAS LEAKING DUE TO RUSTING OF THE TANK. THE MECHANIC INFORMED ME OF THE PRICE OF A NEW TANK AND IT IS VERY EXPENSIVE. A PERSON AT MY LOCAL FORD DEALER INFORMED ME THAT HE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH HIS EDGE. ALSO, I FOUND A USED FUEL TANK IN SEARCH FOR A REPLACEMENT, AND FOUND IT HAS THE SAME RUSTING PROBLEMS. MY WIFE AND CHILDREN USE THIS VEHICLE EVERY DAY AND I FEEL LIKE THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A HUGE SAFTEY PROBLEM. IF YOU ARE READING THIS AND HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM PLEASE MAKE A COMPLAINT. FORD SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR OF THIS COSTLY AND DANGEROUS PROBLEM. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE FOR APPROXIMATELY 80 MILES ONE SATURDAY MORNING, MY WIFE PARKED IN THE GARAGE AS USUAL. I ENTERED THE GARAGE AFTER THE CAR SAT FOR ABOUT AN HOUR AND DETECTED THE SMELL OF GASOLINE. PROCEEDED TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE AND DETERMINED THAT THE SMELL WAS COMING FROM ENGINE COMPARTMENT. I CONTINUED TO INVESTIGATE THE SOURCE AND EVENTUALLY FOUND WHAT APPEARED TO BE FUEL SEEPING FROM THE FUEL RAIL, ALSO KNOWN AS THE FUEL SUPPLY MANIFOLD. I CONCLUDED THAT THE FUEL WAS LEAKING IN THE AREA OF THE TEST PORT WHICH IS CONNECTED TO THE RAIL. I COULD TELL THAT FUEL WAS LEAKING AT THE POINT WHERE THE TEST PORT IS CONNECTED TO THE RAIL. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A FORD DEALER, AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE FUEL RAIL PORT WAS NOT REPAIRABLE AND A NEW FUEL RAIL WAS REQUIRED. THIS WAS A DANGEROUS SITUATION AS GASOLINE COULD HAVE LEAKED OUT ONTO VERY HOT ENGINE PARTS AND POTENTIALLY CAUSE A FIRE. *TR

ENGINE
I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I NOTICED MY THERMOSTAT CLIMBING ABOUT TO OVER HEAT. I PULL OF AT THE NEAREST EXIT AND STOP AT AN OIL CHANGE SERVICE STATION. THE MECHANIC SAY I HAD NO ANTIFREEZE IN THE CAR. HE REFILLS THE ANTIFREEZE AND I WAS ON MY WAY. 20 MINS INTO MY DRIVE, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON AND THE THERMOSTAT LOOKS FINE, BUT THE CAR STARTED SPUTTERING AND STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY AREA OF NYC. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A MECHANIC AND AFTER THEIR DIAGNOSTIC TEST THEY SAID THE ENGINE HEAD IS CRACKED OR WARPED AND THEY FOUND ANTIFREEZE MIXED IN OIL AND RADIATOR AND WILL COST $2500 TO FIX! WTF!! IS THIS ALLOWED TO HAPPEN?? I TOOK GREAT CARE OF THIS VEHICLE AND I FEEL LIKE A SUCKER! NOW I CAN'T GET TO WORK, CAN'T GET MY KIDS TO OR FROM SCHOOL AND I'M NOT SURE WHAT TO DO AT THIS POINT! *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
FOR A FEW WEEKS THERE WAS A STRONG GAS SMELL ALL AROUND THE FORD EDGE. BROUGHT IT IN TO BE LOOKED AT. THEY WERE STUMPED, THE GAS TANK WAS NOT LEAKING, THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO IT NOR ANY RUST OF ANY KIND YET THEY ALSO COULD SMELL THE GAS. AFTER TIME, THEY FOUND THAT GAS WAS SEEPING THROUGH THE SEAMS OF THE TANK. CALLED MULTIPLE FORD DEALERSHIPS AND THEY SAID THEY HAVE BEEN SEEING QUITE A BIT OF THIS ON EDGES AND HAVE REPAIRED 4 WITHIN THE PAST MONTH IN OUR AREA. THEY INFORMED US HOW EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IT WAS TO CONTINUE DRIVING THE CAR, IF WE WERE IN AN ACCIDENT OR IF ANYONE THREW A LIT CIGARETTE, THE CAR COULD EXPLODE. VERY UNSAFE. WE CALLED FORD BECAUSE WE SAW MANY RECALLS ON NEWER MODELS FOR THE SAME THING. THEY DENIED THE CLAIM FOR THE 07 MODEL. WE GOT IT REPAIRED FOR $1700 AT A FORD DEALERSHIP. THEY ARE NOT OFFERING A REIMBURSEMENT FOR A MALFUNCTIONING PART AND A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. *TR
