I HAVE BEEN TAKING MY CAR FOR AT LEAST THE PAST 3 YEARS TO HAVE THE BRAKES LOOKED AT. THE PEDAL GOES TOO FAR TO THE FLOOR. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO 3 DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS TO HAVE THE BRAKES LOOKED AT, ONLY TO BE TOLD THERE IS NO PROBLEM. I JUST HAD NEW FRONT BRAKES AND ROTORS PUT ON AUGUST 2019. MY SON WAS DRIVING THE CAR TO WORK THIS MORNING AND HAD AN ACCIDENT GOING THROUGH A TOLL BOOTH. HE SAID WHEN HE PRESSED ON THE BRAKES THE CAR JUST WOULD NOT STOP AT A GOOD RATE, AND THE PEDAL WAS SPONGIE. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THE BRAKE SYSTEM FOR 2009 FORD EDGES. I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS COMPLAINT. THANK GOD NOBODY WAS INJURED, BUT WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE TO GET THIS TAKEN CARE OF.

I HAVE ONLY HAD EDGE SINCE 2017 AND I PURCHASED IT OUT RIGHT AND I AM NOTICING SOME THINGS THAT ARE NOT RIGHT. HARD TO STOP AND WOBBLING WHEEL ON FRONT DRIVER SIDE AND MAKES LIKE A RUBBING NOISE. BRAKES ON IT OUR WEARING OUT ALOT FASTER AND I HAVE ALREADY HAD A BLOWOUT ON HIGHWAY ON THAT TIRE AND THEY HAD TO TOW IT AND IT COST ME ALMOST $500 TO GET IT OUT AND ITS TREAD IS GETTING WORN DOWN ALOT FASTER AS WELL. I SEEN ON HERE THAT THERE IS A SPINDLE ISSUE?

THE BRAKE BOOSTER WHICH IS A KNOWN PROBLEM ON EVERY FORD EDGE FROM 2007 - 2013 STARTED MAKING A HISS OR LOUD SQUEAKING NOISE WHEN PRESSURE WAS APPLIED TO THE BRAKES. FOR THIS 6 YEAR FORD HAS INSTALLED THE EXACT SAME MANUFACTURERS PART, BUT FORD HAS ONLY RECALLED SOME OF THESE YEARS DESPITE THE SAME ISSUES OCCURRING WITH EVERY MODEL YEAR. AFTER A WHILE THE NOISE INTENSIFIED AND THEN THE BRAKES FAILED!!! SOMETIMES THE BRAKES WOULD NOT ENGAGE UNTIL THE PEDAL WAS MASHED TO THE FLOOR, SOMETIMES THEY ENGAGED AS SOON AS THE PEDAL WAS PRESSED. THIS CREATES A VERY DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. I OWN 3 DIFFERENT MODEL FORD VEHICLES, BUT THIS COULD BE THE LAST FORD I PURCHASE. I TOOK THE EDGE INTO A BRAKE SPECIALIST AND WAS TOLD ABOUT THIS BEING A WELL KNOWN ISSUE ON THE FORD EDGE, BUT THAT I PURCHASED THE "WRONG" YEAR 2009 AND THIS IS THE ONLY MODEL YEAR NOT COVERED UNDER THE NHTSA RECALL. THEY HAVE QUOTED ME $925 TO MAKE THE REPAIRS. WHILE I WILL DO THIS REPAIR SINCE I WILL NOT PUT MY FAMILY AT RISK WE ARE VERY DISAPPOINTED BY FORD'S CORPORATE NEGLIGENCE ON THIS ISSUE.

On February 22 our Ford Edge exploded in our driveway. We had only been home 15 minutes at the most when we heard the explosion. The vehicle was not running. We went outside and the vehicle was fully engulfed with flames. It was completely burned down to the metal and did over $7000 in damages to our home. It was parked in our driveway next to the home. Again, the car was not running. We have contacted the Ford Motor Company, but they keep giving us different dates on when we should hear from them. We have not had any prior issues with the vehicle and there wasn't any warning signs or any smell of gas anytime before the incident. The only recall we received was about the airbag and we took it to Ford to have it taken care of. When I called Ford after the incident, the customer care representative mentioned a recall about the gas tank bracket I believe, but we never received a notification about that. We haven't removed the vehicle from our property and it's still there. Ford hasn't asked to come look at it. They only requested the fire department report.

I COMPLAINED AT LEAST FOUR TIMES TO NHTSA ABOUT MY STEERING, SUSPENSION AND MY BRAKES FAILING. TOYOTA OWNERS GET HELP, BUT NOT AMERICANS.

This dealership is a scam, my car isn't even safe to drive because the (PSM) needs to be replaced and none of the modules are communicating but somehow they passed the inspection. I bought this car as is 2/24/26 and 2 days later it started overheating. I took to Big Al's like they recommended and Big Al's replaced the coolant assembly the car was still overheating so Big Al's recommended the electrical shop and I took it to them. Tidewater Auto Electric didn't find any electrical problems. So I took it to Dave's Tire and Auto center and they said the PSM needs to be replaced and all of the module because they are no longer communicating with each other. That's not safe and yet carland sold it to me anyway.

My tail light S and brake lights is not working the components was burnt and bulbs was burnt and we put all new bulbs and put in new components and there still not working.and I've been pulled over about 4 times cause of it thankfully I didn't get a ticket so please put a recall on this so it can be fixed I love my SUV

Within the last year I have replaced the right and left inner and outer tie rods, bought 4 new tires, maintained alignment and shortly after replaced the power steering hose and the driveshaft. Knowing I maintain my vehicle well, I drove myself and 4 friends 900 miles and the power steering fluid began leaking again. Mechanic tells me the rack and pinion needs replaced.I can hardly believe all this is wear and tear but it certainly caused a safety concern for me and my passengers. Now, another $2000

Fuel tank leaking at spot welds and mounting points. Fuel tank recall performed [XXX] @ 54,758 miles. We purchased the vehicle from a ford Dealer in Alpena MI Dean Arbour Ford in August of 2018. I have contacted this dealer about this issue as well as the Customer Care Center of Ford Motor Company. All tell me they only had a 2 year warranty on the repair. My concern is the recall was performed but did not fix this issue due to the same situation is happening with-in the same amount of time from manufacture date to the date of the original recall. They did not rectify the safety concern from the original recall they just replaced with the same style tank knowing it would fail again.

2 years ago car started losing power so took to garage for tune up. Changed spark plugs. They said that I needed one of the coils changed as well. Costly job. This did not fix the issue. Took to another shop who said that the computer needed to be changed because computer was burning out the coil. Have picture of burned coil. Again, this time replaced computer and coils ( all 6 coils. $2000 fix. Almost year later again same issue. Go back to same garage, covered in warranty. Explains to me that this is something Ford is aware of and has done nothing about. Boards are shorting out coils. They replaced computer again and charged me to install. This time is lasted only 6 months. My car only has 121,000 miles on it. I should not have replaced computer 3 times in 2 years. Tell me that this is right? I cannot drive the car at all because this will cause the engine to crack. The car needs to be towed each time. Loss of power can cause accident. Scary

Brake Booster Failure. $947.45 to repair out of pocket expense. Thank God I was not injured or killed, nor was anyone else, or property damaged, as I was able to avoid a collision. There is a class action lawsuit over this defective Ford part.
