2010 Ford Edge

Hello, This is [XXX] [XXX] [XXX] . This vehicle has a shorted steer sensor part#8t4z-3f818-a. If traction control button is not turned off at start up, the vehicle will slam on the brakes and jurk the steering wheel while going around a curve. I took the car to Crossroads Ford for diagnosis. They inspected and stated it needed the steering angle sensor. I payed them $377.90 for the part to be ordered on 3/20/25. The part was suppose to be there 4/1/25. They never called, I called they stated it was still on order. Today I called again 4/29/25 and asked the parts manager where the part is. He stated it was Discontinued Product from ford and is not available. This is a required part for the vehicle to perform safely, I have checked all other means of order online all are discontinued. Please advise why Ford is being allowed to discontinue production and availability for part#8t4z-3f818-a. Thank You [XXX] no accident has occurred but could due to the erratic behavior of the vehicle traction control due to this faulty part.

Power Steering malfunctioned. Wife had kids in the car and lost steering control. All power steering fluid loss out of banjo bolt that connects the power steering high pressure line to the steering gear. Ford has a TSB on these regarding this issue. Service bulletin ASI-44308 Steering NHTSA ID number 10054565. I had to have a mechanic replace the whole rack and pinion due to the pitting the salt caused on the aluminum by corroding. This is fords mistake. Thankfully no one was hurt. Secondly, I had to pay $945 for something that should have never happened. This is a huge safety concern and Ford Knows about it!

'POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT' POWER STEERING ACCESS FAULT CODE DISPLAYS ON GAUGE CLUSTER AND STEERING WHEEL HAS NO POWER STEERING. VERY DIFFICULT TO DRIVE AND DANGEROUS. A RECALL FOR 2011 AND UP TAURUS WAS ISSUED BUT NOT THE 2010 WHICH HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THE CAR IS NOT DERIVABLE AND NOT SAFE TO DRIVE THIS WAY. THIS HAPPENS ON START UP AND STAYS THIS WAY IN EVERY GEAR, NO POWER STEERING AVAILABLE.THE FORD TAURUS SHO 2010 MODEL HAS THE EXACT SAME PART FOR THE STEERING AS THE 2011-2015 MODEL THAT WAS RECALLED. FORD DID NOT INCLUDE THIS MODEL WITH THE RECALL AND IT SUFFERS THE SAME PROBLEM, SUDDEN LOSS OF STEERING WITH NO WARNING. MY CAR LOST STEERING WHEN DRIVING BUT DID NOT CAUSE ME TO WRECK. THIS CAR SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL.

I I BOUGHT A 2008 FORD EDGE SEVERAL YEARS AGO. I TOTALED IT BUT THE AIR BAGS NEVER DEPLOYED. I THEN BOUGHT A 2010 FORD EDGE IN 2016 AND I BOUGHT IT NOT KNOWING ABOUT THE RECALLS. I HE BEEN IN A REANTAL ALL SUMMER AND THEY FORD DEALERSHIP IN LADOGA SAID THE PARTS ARE IN FOR THE RECALL. I'M NOT IT'S NOT IN THE SYSTEM ANYWHERE AND NOW I HAD TO TAKE IT TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP BECAUSE MY HUBS ARE MESSED UP AND MY CAR DIED FROM PARKING IT IN THE SUN. I NEED TO KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON. I HAVE CHILDREN AND JUST WANT TO BE SAFE SINCE LADOGA SENT ME AWAY SAYING MY CAR WAS OKAY AND DIDN'T HAVE ANY PROBLEMS.BUR NOW FORD WANTS 2,590 - 3,000 I'M WITH OUT A RENTAL NO ONE WOULD PROVIDE ME AND THE CHILDREN ONE IT'S BEEN SEVERAL WEEKS NOW

I RECENTLY HAD TO REPLACE POWER STEERING LINES IN MY VEHICLE DUE TO METAL CORROSION RUSTING THROUGH THE LINES AND CAUSING THE FLUID TO LEAK OUT, THIS ISSUE HAS REPEATEDLY CAUSED MY CAR TO GO OUT OF ALIGNMENT AND HAS RUINED MY TIRES. THE POWER STEERING WAS NOT WORKING PROPERLY TO THE POINT OF BEING DANGEROUS BECAUSE OF IT. BECAUSE MY CAR IS ONLY 7 YEARS OLD I AM WONDERING IF THIS CORROSION WOULD BE COVERED BY SOME SORT OF WARRANTY OR IF THIS IS UNDER RECALL? ESPECIALLY SINCE MY CAR IS UNDER RECALL FOR GAS TANK AND AIR BAG CORROSION. I HAVE REPORTED THIS TO FORD AS WELL. THE REPAIR JUST OF THE POWER STEERING LINES COST ME $500. I STILL NEED TO REPLACE ALL FOUR TIRES AS WELL. THIS DEFECT IS DANGEROUS. METAL PARTS SHOULD NOT BE CORRODING ON CARS.
