FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
ON DECEMBER 12, 2014 FORD MAILED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE TO MY ATTENTION REGARDING NHTSA RECALL 14V-682 REGARDING CORROSION OF FUEL TANK MOUNTING BRACKETS. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS LETTER WAS FOR INFORMATION ONLY AND THAT I WOULD BE CONTACTED WHEN PARTS WERE READY FOR THE REPAIR. WE ARE APPROACHING 10 MONTHS SINCE THE LETTER WAS MAILED AND I AM STILL WAITING FOR FORD TO CONTACT ME REGARDING THE AVAILABILITY OF THE NEEDED REPAIR PARTS. AS I LIVE IN THE NORTHEAST AND SALT IS USED EXTENSIVELY ON THE ROADS DURING THE WINTER I DO NOT WANT TO GO THROUGH ANOTHER WINTER WITH THIS ISSUE BE UNRESOLVED.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, WHEELS, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT DOOR AJAR LIGHT WAS STAYING ON AND WOULD NOT GO AWAY EVEN THE DOOR WAS CLOSED. WE HAVE BEEN ALL KINDS OF OTHER PROBLEMS RELATED TO THIS PROBLEM SUCH AS DOOR CHIMES GOING OFF RANDOMLY ALL THE TIME THE DOME LIGHTS WILL NOT TURN OFF WHEN CAR IS PARKED AND SHUT OFF. THE NOISE AND LIGHTS ARE A MAJOR DISTRACTION. THE OTHER PROBLEM WE HAVE EXPERIENCED WITH THE VEHICLE BUT HAVE HAD FIXED IS THE TWO REAR WHEEL BEARINGS HAVE BEEN REPLACED. THE FIRST WHEN THE VEHICLE HAD ONLY 36,000 PLUS OR MINUS A THOUSAND OR TWO AND THE OTHER WHEN WE ONLY HAD 60,000 MILES ON VEHICLE. THIS IS EXPENSIVE AND SHOULD NOT GO BAD IN THAT SHORT OF TIME. WE DO NOT PULL ANYTHING WITH THE VEHICLE OR DRIVE IT ROUGH.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I HAVE A 2008 FORD EDGE, I HAVE BEEN NOTICING OVER THE PAST FEW MONTHS THAT AT RANDOM TIMES THE CAR WILL LURCH FORWARD WHEN ACCELERATING AS IF IT SUDDENLY RECEIVED A BURST OF SPEED. ONE DAY I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT AND I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE SO THAT I COULD DRIVE AND THE CAR WOULDN'T MOVE AND WHEN I PRESSED HARDER ON THE ACCELERATOR THERE WAS A LOUD BANG NOISE THAT SOUNDED LIKE THE CAR SUDDENLY CLICKED INTO DRIVE. IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING MORE AND MORE OFTEN WHERE IT LAGS AND STICKS AND LURCHES FORWARD WHEN IT FINALLY WANTS TO GO. TODAY, IT HAD SERIOUS ISSUES WHERE I WAS TRYING TO ACCELERATE AND THE CAR WAS INSTEAD SLOWING DOWN AND LURCHING FORWARD WITH THE SOUND OF THE ENGINE STRAINING AND MAKING NOISE. I HAD TO PULL OVER BECAUSE THE CARS BEHIND ME HAD TO GO AROUND ME. I WAS EXTREMELY NERVOUS THAT THE CAR WOULD STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD OR CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. WHEN I PULLED OVER AND TURNED THE CAR OFF AND THEN TURNED IT BACK ON THE PROBLEM SEEMED TO LESSEN I ONLY DROVE AT A LOW SPEED TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE TWO CHILDREN AND THIS CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I WILL TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP ASAP. IT ALSO ROLLS BACKWARD ON AN INCLINE. FORD NEEDS TO DO A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE I HAVE DONE SOME ONLINE RESEARCH TODAY AND SEE THAT MANY MANY PEOPLE HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEMS. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MY TRANSMISSION IS BEING REPLACED AT 96,400 MILES. I'VE BEEN HAVING INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS WHERE IT WOULD CLUNK WHEN SHIFTING TO THE NEXT GEAR. I'VE PAID HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS BETWEEN 2 FORD DEALERSHIPS AND 2 AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR SHOPS JUST TO TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE ISSUE IS. BUT LAST WEEK AS I STARTED MY 30 MILE DRIVE HOME, MY CAR STOPPED SHIFTING. NOW I'M PAYING ROUGHLY $5,000 TO GET A TRANSMISSION IN MY CAR. ON TOP OF PAYING $200 FOR A RENTAL CAR DURING ALL OF THIS. THIS VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE RECALLED!

SERVICE BRAKES
9/11/2015 MY ABS LIGHT STARTED GOING ON AND OFF A FEW DAYS AGO SO I CHECKED THE BRAKE FLUID AND IT WAS EMPTY. I FILLED IT UP LAST NIGHT AND THE LIGHT STILL CAME BACK ON THIS MORNING. AS I WAS APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION THIS MORNING, MY BRAKES TEMPORARILY WENT OUT AS I TRIED TO STOP. I WAS ABLE TO STOP IN TIME THOUGH BECAUSE I WAS NOT GOING VERY FAST. THEY WENT BACK TO WORKING AFTER THAT. NOW I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT EVEN TO TAKE IT TO GET SERVICED. I DID CHECK THE FLUID AND IT IS STILL FULL.

POWER TRAIN
MOST RECENT 8/14/2015, PULLED OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND THE CAR LOST POWER, BUT THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING. RPM'S WILL GO UP, BUT THE CAR WILL NOT MOVE. REVERSE WORKS. TOOK IT TO AUTO ZONE, NO CODES WILL COME UP. WHEN I BOUGHT IT OFF THE LOT (9 MONTHS AGO) IT WAS WORKING JUST FINE AND HAS BEEN GOING DOWN EVER SINCE. SINCE LAST NOVEMBER (11/2014) WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR, WHEN DRIVING THE CARS SPEEDOMETER WILL DROP DOWN TO ZERO AND A WRENCH LIGHT WILL COME ON WITH A FEW OTHER LIGHTS AND ACT LIKE IT IS STUCK IN A HIGH GEAR. AFTER TUNING THE CAR COMPLETELY OFF (KEY OUT OF IGNITION AND DOOR OPENING AND CLOSING) AND CHECKING FLUIDS I STARTED THE CAR BACK UP AND HEARD A LOUD CLUNK AND WHEN I PUT IT INTO DRIVE THERE WAS ANOTHER CLUNK AND AFTER GETTING THE CAR UP TO ABOUT 10MPH (THE CAR IS STILL ACTING LIKE ITS STUCK IN A HIGH GEAR) THERE WAS ANOTHER LOUD CLUNK AND THE TRANSMISSION WOULD CATCH AND ACT LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED. THIS PROCESS REPEATS EVER SINGLE DAY UNLESS I DRIVE IT WITH THE OVER DRIVE OFF, THEN IT WILL STILL HAPPEN BUT ABOUT ONLY TWICE A MONTH. EX: HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=SK3ITIC2-RS HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=PX3SC2YCMEO I HAVE CALLED FORD CORPORATE AFTER GOOGLING THE PROBLEM AND SEEM THERE ARE 1000'S OF CASES EXPLAINING THE SAME THING AND THEY WILL ONLY TELL ME "THAT'S ODD SEEMS LIKE YOUR CAR IS THE ONLY ONE THAT'S DOING THIS". I HAVE TAKEN IT TO SEVERAL DEALERSHIP, NONE OF WHICH WILL DO ANYTHING BECAUSE THEY CANNOT FIND A CODE. EVEN WHEN THE CAR HAS A WRENCH LIGHT ON AND WILL BARLEY MOVE. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO GET RESOLVED BEFORE A SEVERE ACCIDENT OCCURS. HAVE I MENTIONED THIS IS MY ONLY CAR? FROM WHAT I HAVE READ IT COULD BE A COUPLE DIFFERENT SENSORS AND IF THIS IS NOT RESOLVED THIS WAS THE ONLY AND LAST FORD I WILL EVER OWN.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAY WITH CHILDREN IN CAR ON FREEWAY, CAR SUDDENLY MADE A HARD SOUND, SPEEDOMETER DROPPED TO 0 INSTANTLY, ALL DASH BOARD LIGHTS CAME ON, RPM STAYED BETWEEN 2 AND 3, ONCE TRAFFIC SLOWED AND ACCELERATOR WAS EASED OFF OF CAR BEGAN TO SLOW AND WOULD NOT PICK BACK UP SPEED WHEN PRESSED AGAIN- EVEN WHEN PUSHED ALL THE WAY DOWN. I PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER AND TURNED THE ENGINE OFF. THEN TURNED IT BACK ON. THEN I TRIED TO PUT IT INTO GEAR. THE ENGINE SOUND AS IF GAS WAS BEING GIVEN TO ENGINE FROM ACCELERATOR AND RPM WAS STUCK AT 2-3, WHEN PUT INTO GEAR, CAR JOLTED REALLY HARD AND MOVED EVER SO SLOWELY WHEN I TRIED TO DRIVE IT BACK INTO TRAFFIC TO GET MY FAMILY OFF FREEWAY, EVEN WHEN I PRESSED PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, CAR BARELY MOVED. I HAD TO KEEP TRYING MULTIPLE TIMES TO TURN ENGINE OFF, TRY TO PUT IT IN GEAR, AND GET CAR GOING JUST TO GET IT OFF FREEWAY TO SAFETY. CAR EVENTUALLY PULLED INTO GEAR AND DROVE NORMALLY AFTER SEVERAL TRIES. A SINGLE MOTHER, WITH INFANT AND OLDER CHILD ON BOARD, ON A VERY BUSY FREEWAY IS VERY, SCARY SCARY SCARY. THIS HAPPENS OFTEN ON EITHER THE FREEWAY (DRIVING FAST) OR DRIVING OUT OF THE PARK'S PARKING LOT AT SLOW PACE. CAR SLIPS OUT OF GEAR OR SOMETHING AND WILL NOT ACCELERATE WHEN I GIVE IT GAS.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), UNKNOWN OR OTHER
PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT TURNING RIGHT TRIED TO ACCELERATE SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC BEHIND ME AFTER TURNING AND I COULDN'T GO ANYWHERE. PULLED INTO THE NEAREST PARKING LOT APPROX. 50 FEET OR MORE PILED INTO PARKIN SPOT. THEN SAT FOR A COUPLE INURED WRENCH ILLUMINATED ON DASH BOARD. TRIED TO BACK UP TO STRAIGHTEN VEHICLE AND IT MADE A LOUD CLUNK NOISE WHEN PUTTING IN REVERSE. AFTER TURNING OFF CAR WENT TO RESTART AFTER 30 MINUTES CAR MADE LOUD CLUNK AGAIN WITHOUT BEING IN GEAR. AT THIS TIME IT ISN'T A RECALLED ITEM JUST. TSB AND NOT GETTING ANY RESOLUTION AS TO WHY THIS ISNT A RECALL ITEM. APPROX. 45 MINUTES PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY DRIVING THE SPEED LIMIT. WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF THE FAILURE OCCURRED AT THIS POINT. THANK GOD IT DIDN'T AS I WOULDN'T BE WRITING THIS LETTER. FOR THE SAFETY OF OTHERS THIS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A RECALL ITEM.
