The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and referred the contact to file a complaint with the NHTSA Hotline. The failure mileage was 172,000. The VIN was unavailable.

Due to snow, when passing a vehicle, slid off road and hit a tree head on and on the driver side, air bags did not deploy.

My brother was in an accident in my 2008 ford edge and the air bags in the steering wheel and front passenger did not depoly. The car was totaled and sent to a junk yard.

AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND POLICE AND EMT'S SAID THEY SHOULD HAVE GONE OF. THE VEHICLE AT FAULTS AIRBAGS WENT OFF. THIS 2008 FORD EDGE HAS FAULTY AIRBAGS! THIS VEHICLE WAS ON A STATE ROAD AND HAD THE RIGHT OF WAY. ACCIDENT REPORT IS STILL BEING WORKED ON AT MEREDITH POLICE DEPARTMENT , NH.

TAKATA RECALL THE WARNING LETTER 12/17 SAID NOT TO LET ANYONE SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. I TOOK THIS VERY SERIOUSLY AND EVEN RENTED A CAR WHEN THE ENTIRE FAMILY TRAVELED TOGETHER TO AVOID PUTTING SOMEONE IN THAT SEAT. ON JUNE 20, 2018, MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING OUR EDGE. SHE WAS HIT BY SOMEONE WHO RAN THE RED LIGHT. THE DRIVER FRONT WHEEL AREA AND BUMPER AREA WERE TAKEN OFF. THE OIL PAN AND WHEEL CHASSIS WERE DAMAGED AS WELL. THE VEHICLE WAS CLAIMED A "TOTAL LOSS." NONE OF THE AIRBAGS WENT OFF. THE ACCIDENT OCCURRED ON 6/20/2018. I HAD REQUESTED A RENTAL CAR UNDER THE "RECALL NOTICE" ON 6/11/2018 FROM FORD AUTONATION. ON 6/11/2018 AUTONATION SAID THEY COULD ONLY PUT ME IN A FORD150. AS I AM TOO SHORT AND NOT ABLE TO SEE VERY WELL OVER THE STEERING WHEEL AS WELL AS IT HURTS MY HIP TO GET UP IN A TRUCK THAT HIGH. THEREFORE I REQUESTED A CAR SIMILAR TO THE EDGE. AFTER CALLS AND VISITING AUTONATION, THEY NEVER CALLED ME BACK AFTER THE ONE CONVERSATION ON 6/11. THEN I CALLED FORD ON 6/18/2018 WHO GAVE ME A CASE NUMBER AND SENT TO A DIFFERENT AUTO DEALERSHIP. THE RENTAL CAR IS JUST READY FOR PICKUP TODAY.

MY 2008 FORD EDGE (SINCE I BROUGHT IT) HAS BEEN HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE, ALL OF THE LIGHTS ON THE PANEL WILL LIGHT UP( WRENCH LIGHT, AIRBAG LIGHT, TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT...ETC) THE ODOMETER WILL GO OFF AND HAVE ONLY DASHES, THE CAR WILL THEN HAVE A LOSS OF ACCELERATION. THE CAR FEELS LIKE IT IS TRYING REALLY HARD TO STAY IN GEAR OR CHANGE GEARS.THIS WILL HAPPEN ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 60MPH AS WELL AS LOCAL ROADS AT LOWER SPEEDS. I WILL HAVE TO PUT MY HAZARDS ON AND PULL OVER ON THE SIDE. WE FIGURED OUT THAT IF YOU DISCONNECT THE CABLES ON THE BATTERY FOR A FEW MINUTES THEN RECONNECT THE CAR WILL THEN RUN AGAIN OK. THIS IS A SERIOUS HAZARD. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT SEVERAL TIMES ON THE HIGHWAY DUE TO THIS ISSUE AND HAVE BEEN HIT FROM BEHIND GETTING ON THE HIGHWAY ALREADY. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO FORD SEVERAL TIMES ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT THERE IS "NO CODE READING" SO THEY CAN NOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS TO FIND OUT IF OTHER FORD EDGES HAVE THE SAME ISSUE AND I CAME ACROSS A SLEW OF OTHER FORD EDGE OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. I HAVE CONTACTED FORD SEVERAL TIMES TO BE TOLD THAT THERE ARE NO RECALLS ON THIS. *TR
