TIRES
IN SEPT. WE NOTICED THAT WE WERE LOSING AIR IN OUR TIRES, UPON CLOSER LOOK WE DISCOVERED THAT THE VALVE STEMS WERE CRACKED AROUND THE BOTTOM. WE TOOK THE CAR INTO OUR NEAREST FORD DEALER AND AT A COST OF $42.39 THEY PUT FOUR NEW TIRE VALVE STEMS ON. *TR

TOOK MY CAR IN TO HAVE MY TIRES ROTATED AND NOTICED THAT THE STEM ON THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRE WAS TORN, NEARLY ERODING OFF. HAD TO PURCHASE A NEW TIRE TO AVOID A POSSIBLE FUTURE ACCIDENT. I SAW ON THE NEWS THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH MOST 2007 FORDS, SO I'M CONTRIBUTING MY INCIDENT. *TR

EQUIPMENT, TIRES:VALVE
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS TECH INTERNATIONAL VALVE STEMS, MODEL TR413. ON JULY 16, 2008, WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE TIRES BLEW OUT. THE CONTACT MOVED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND REPLACED THE TIRE WITH A SPARE. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO DISCOUNT TIRE AND THE MECHANIC INFORMED HIM THAT ALL FOUR OF THE VALVE STEMS WERE DEFECTIVE. THE MECHANIC ALSO STATED THAT THE VALVE STEMS WERE INCLUDED IN A RECALL. TECH INTERNATIONAL STATED THAT THEY WOULD ONLY REIMBURSE THE CONTACT FOR REPAIRING THE TIRES IF THEY HAD BEEN REPLACED INSTEAD OF THE ORIGINALS. THEY ADVISED HIM TO CONTACT FORD. FORD CONFIRMED THAT THEY WERE THE ORIGINAL TIRES AND WOULD BE UNABLE TO REIMBURSE HIM BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT THE MANUFACTURERS OF THE TIRES. THE TIRE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THEY COULD NOT REIMBURSE HIM BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT THE MANUFACTURERS OF THE VALVE STEM. THE SERIAL AND PART NUMBERS WERE UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 17,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 19,000.

TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS
WHILE TRAVELING ON I-35 THE LEFT FRONT TIRE SUDDENLY LOST AIR PRESSURE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. UPON INSPECTION OF TIRE, NO DAMAGE OTHER THAN WHAT WAS INFLICTED FROM THE EVENT OF TRAVELING AT 70MPH WHILE FLAT WAS FOUND. THE PROBLEM WAS THAT THE VALVE STEM FAILED. IT WAS CRACKED AT THE BASE ALLOWING A SUDDEN LOSS OF TIRE PRESSURE. THE OTHER VALVE STEMS ON THE CAR ARE ALSO CRACKED AT THE BASE BUT NOT COMPLETELY FAILED YET. *TR

THIS VEHICLE HAS A COUPLE OF PROBLEMS I AM CONCERNED ABOUT. FIRST, WHEN YOU ROLL DOWN THE WINDOWS, REACH SPEEDS OF 30+ MILES PER HOUR, THEN TRY TO ROLL THE WINDOWS UP, IT CREATES A TERRIBLE VACUUM PRESSURE INSIDE OF THE CAR. THIS PRESSURE ALWAYS MAKES MY EARS HURT, AND I BELIEVE MAY BE DAMAGING MY EARDRUMS. I FIND IT DISTURBING THAT AS A CONSUMER, I CAN NOT ROLL DOWN THE WINDOWS OF MY CAR IN ACCLIMATE WEATHER, BECAUSE OF THE PRESSURE THAT IS CREATED INSIDE OF THE CAR WHEN I DO SO. ALSO, I DON'T KNOW IF OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM, BUT THIS CAR IS A SHOCK HAZARD. I AM CONSTANTLY GETTING SHOCKED EVERY TIME I CLOSE THE DOOR OF THIS CAR. IT IS A CONCERN, AND I ALWAYS WORRY THAT WHEN I GO TO A GAS STATION IT WILL CREATE A SPARK (GOD-FORBID). I HAVE NO CONTACTED FORD MOTOR COMPANY, BUT I HAVE EVERY INTENTION ON DOING SO. RIGHT NOW, I HAVE A LAUNDRY LIST OF ISSUES, BUT NONE AS MAJOR, IN MY OPINION, AS THESE. I THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME. IT IS MY HOPE THAT IF YOU GET ENOUGH OF THESE COMPLAINTS, BECAUSE I REFUSE TO BELIEVE I AM THE ONLY ONE, SOME CHANGES WILL BE MADE. HOPEFULLY, NO ONE WILL HAVE TO SUSTAIN ANY EAR DAMAGE OR SPARK A FIRE, BEFORE THESE ISSUES ARE RESOLVED. *TR

STEERING
2007 FORD EDGE,CONTINUALLY DRIFTS TO THE RIGHT, ON ALL ROAD SURFACES . I HAVE HAD IT BACK TO THE DEALER 2 TIMES FOR A WHEEL ALIGNMENT AND ONCE FOR THE COMPLAINT. THE DEALER TELLS ME IT'S AN EVIDENT PROBLEM WITH THE EDGE . BECAUSE I HAVE 18" TIRES CONTRIBUTES TO THE PROBLEM AND I SHOULD TRY CHANGING THE TIRES IT MIGHT CORRECT IT A LITTLE. *TR

TIRES, TIRES:VALVE
MY 2007 SENSOR DETECTED LOW PRESSURE. (PLEASE NOTE: I TOOK MY CAR TO BEACH FORD 757--486-2717 LAST WEEK AND REQUESTED THEY CHANGE OUT ALL OF THE VALVES-------THEY CHANGED OUT ONLY THE FLAT ONE AND ONLY PUT NEW CAPS ON THE OTHERS!!!!) MY CONCERN IS THEY MAY HAVE DONE THIS WITH OTHER CONSUMERS. I DROVE FROM VIRGINIA BEACH TO WASH. DC ON SUNDAY. ON I95 AVERAGING 65-80 MPH. THE INCONVENIENCE OF SPENDING YESTERDAY AT THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN IS NOTHING IN COMPARISON TO THE IMPACT OF LOSING MY LIFE LIKE THE MAN IN FLORIDA DUE TO A FAULTY VALVE. TO DATE: REAR PASSENGER WENT BAD. REPLACED BY NON DEALER (PAUL'S AUTO) FRONT DRIVER'S TIRE LAST WEEK BACK DRIVER'S TIRE YESTERDAY. (I WATCHED YESTERDAY TO ENSURE THEY CHANGED OUT THE REMAINING ONE. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2007 FORD EDGE SEL PLUS, AND 6 MONTHS LATER I KEPT GETTING A LOW PRESSURE MESSAGE. I WOULD REFILL THE TIRE AND A DAY LATER IT WAS LOW. I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALER AND THE VALVE STEM WAS BROKEN, AS WELL AS 3 OTHER CRACKED VALVE STEMS. THEY REPLACED THEM ALL BUT CHARGED ME A DISCOUNTED RATE OF $65 FOR THE LABOR. FORD REFUSED TO COVER IT, AND I HAD VERY LOW MILES ON THE CAR. THIS WAS FRIGHTENING, KNOWING THIS WAS THE PROBLEM WITH THE EXPLORER IN THE 1990'S. *TR

VEHICLE ENGINEERING DEFECT. DASH BOARD GLARE INTO WINDSHIELD IS DISTRACTING AND AT TIMES OBSCURES VISION. VERY UNUSUAL AND EXCESSIVE. FORD FEELS IT MEETS ALL STANDARDS. I DO NOT BELIEVE THEY HAVE DRIVEN THE CAR ON A SUNNY DAY. *TR

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WILL NOT HOLD VEHICLE IN PLACE ON EVEN SLIGHT INCLINE. I.E. VEHICLE IN DRIVE FACING UPHILL WHEN STOPPED AND BRAKE RELEASED VEHICLE WILL ROLL BACKWARD DOWN HILL. VEHICLE FACING DOWNHILL WITH TRANSMISSION IN REVERSE WILL ROLL FORWARD WHEN BRAKE IS RELEASED. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY 2007 FORD EDGE IT DISPLAYS "TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR FAULT". THIS OCCURS GENERALLY DURING HIGHWAY DRIVING. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR, I WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHY THE MESSAGE WAS DISPLAYED. IT HAS NOT BEEN FIXED. IT WOULD SEEM TO ME THAT THIS HIGHLY TOUTED SAFETY FEATURE SHOULD WORK. *TR

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I OWN A 2007 FORD EDGE. I SHOVED A PLASTIC ICE SCRAPER BETWEEN THE DASH AND THE WINDSHIELD. THE WINDSHIELD CRACKED. CLEARLY, THE WINDSHIELD SHOULD WITHSTAND THE IMPACT OF A PLASTIC ICE SCRAPER.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE FRONT BRAKES AND HE SMELLED A BURNING ODOR COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. HE DID NOT KNOW IF THE ODOR WAS MECHANICAL OR ELECTRICAL. THE BRAKES VIBRATED AND BEGAN TO GRIND WHEN STOPPING OR TURNING THE VEHICLE AT 40 MPH. THE CONTACT WAS UNSURE IF THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO THE STABILITY CONTROL, ABS, OR GENERAL BRAKING SYSTEM. THE DEALER COULD NOT FIND ANY FAILURES AFTER THEIR INITIAL INSPECTION. MOST RECENTLY, THEY INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THEY COULD ONLY CUT THE ROTORS AND REPLACE THE BRAKE PADS. THEY COULD NOT LOCATE THE BURNING AROMA. THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT BEEN NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 1,000.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
WHEN THE EDGE IS IN DRIVE AND STOPPED ON AN INCLINE IT WILL ROLL BACKWARD WHEN YOU RELEASE THE BRAKE. IT DOESN'T JUST ROLL BACK A LITTLE....IT WILL CONTINUE TO ROLL BACK UNTIL YOU GIVE IT SOME GAS OR STEP ON THE BRAKE. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I ALMOST ROLLED BACK INTO THE CAR BEHIND ME. I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS ROLLBACK IN AN AUTOMATIC VEHICLE. I READ ON THE INTERNET THAT THERE WAS A TSB FOR THIS AND TOOK MY EDGE IN TO HAVE IT "REFLASHED" (AS RECOMMENDED ON A FORD EDGE FORUM) BUT WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THERE WAS NO FIX (AND NO SUCH TSB) FOR IT AND THAT THIS IS NORMAL. I FEEL IT IS A DANGER AND SHOULD BE CORRECTED OR AT THE VERY LEAST MENTIONED IN THE OWNERS MANUAL. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
I WAS DRIVING, AND WHEN I WENT TO PRESS ON MY BRAKES, THEY WERE PULSATING, BECAUSE YOU COULD FEEL THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM KICKING IN. THE CAR SEEMED LIKE IT DIDN'T WANT TO STOP. AFTER I STOPPED, THE ABS AND TRACTION-CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON IN THE CAR, AND THEY HAVE BEEN ON EVERY SINCE. I HAVE AN APPT. FOR A REPAIR AT THE DEALERSHIP TOMORROW. I WANTED TO MAKE THE NHTSA AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. *TR
