2010 Ford Edge

MY TIRES HAVE BEEN SLOWLY LOSING AIR FOR A WHILE. GOT NEW TIRES. STILL LOSING AIR MORE FREQUENTLY. NOW I FILL TIRES AT EVERY GAS FULL UP. FOUND A CRACK IN THE RIM. NOW ANOTHER RIM HAS A CRACK. THE RIMS ARE ALUMINUM 20", 7 SPLIT SPOKE, 5 BOLT RIMS. MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ON LINE TOO. SEEMS WAY TO EARLY IN A CAR'S LIFE TO HAVE THIS HAPPEN. I WILL BE ORDERING ANOTHER NEW REPLACEMENT RIM. I'VE OWNED MANY CARS AND HAVE NEVER HAD THIS HAPPEN BEFORE. THANK YOU

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.

BOUGHT 2010 ONLY 24000 MILES ON CAR, TIRES ARE DRY ROTTED, THE TIRES ARE 2008 CONFIRMED BY DISCOUNT TIRE. HOW ARE 2008 TIRES ON A 2010 NEW CAR. AT RISK FOR ACCIDENT DUE TO ALL 4 ROTTED. COST TO REPLACE $800.00. 2ND IS THE TIE-RODS RUSTED OUT PER FORD DEALERSHIP. THIS CAR IS ONY 5 YEARS ALL WITH LOW MILAGE, THERE SHOULD NOT BE PROBLEMS AT THIS STAGE CAR IS LEMON

I PURCHASED A USED VEHICLE FROM BROADWAY KIA. UPON INSPECTION I FOUND THAT THERE WERE A FEW, WHAT APPEARED TO BE COSMETIC DAMAGES TO THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE RIM. I ASKED THE SALES PERSON, [XXX] ABOUT THE DAMAGED RIM BECAUSE IT APPEARED TO BE BENT. HE ASSURED ME THAT THE ENTIRE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED AND THAT THE TIRE/WHEEL WAS NOT COMPROMISED. APPROXIMATELY 2 WEEKS LATER THE TIRE PRESSURE GAUGE CAME ON IN THE CAR. I FILLED ALL THE TIRES BECAUSE AT THAT POINT I WAS NOT CERTAIN ANY ONE TIRE WAS LOW. APPROXIMATELY 2 WEEKS AFTER THAT I HAD TO PUT MORE AIR IN THE RIGHT PASSENGER SIDE TIRE. AT THAT POINT I WENT TO A FIRESTONE TIRES TO HAVE THEM REPAIR WHAT I THOUGHT WAS A LEAK. THEY ADVISED THAT THE TIRE COULD NOT BE DISMOUNTED AND REPAIRED BECAUSE THE RIM ITSELF WAS BENT AND CRACKING AND THAT I WOULD NEED AN ENTIRE NEW WHEEL (TIRE AND RIM). AT THAT POINT I EMAILED ONE OF THE MANAGERS AT BROADWAY KIA TO LET THEM KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON. I WENT IN ON 8/18/13 AND PURCHASED A NEW SET OF TIRES AND RIMS AS I NEEDED TO BE ABLE TO DRIVE. I CONTACTED THE GENERAL MANAGER REGARDING THE ISSUE AND WAS ASKED TO BRING THE CAR IN BUT ONCE HE FOUND OUT THAT I HAD ALREADY PURCHASED NEW RIMS/TIRES HE TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING HE COULD DO. I WAS ADVISED BY THE TIRE REPAIR PERSON THAT HAD I HIT SOMETHING JUST RIGHT OR HAD TOO MUCH PRESSURE APPLIED ON THE TIRE IT COULD HAVE BLOWN. THIS CAR WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE OFF THE LOT OR ALLOW SOMEONE TO DRIVE FOR AN ENTIRE MONTH. THIS COMPANY NEEDS TO BE HELD TO HIGHER SAFETY STANDARDS.

I WAS PERFORMING PREVENTATIVE VEHICLE MAINTENANCE ON MY 2010 FORD EDGE. I HAD JUST COMPLETED A BASIC OIL CHANGE, TO INCLUDE BOTH OIL FILTER AND AIR FILTER CHANGE ALONG WITH TOPPING OFF OF ALL VEHICLE FLUIDS. I LASTLY ATTEMPTED TO ROTATE THE VEHICLE TIRES WHEN I NOTICED THAT TWO OF THE VEHICLES LUG NUTS WHERE JUST FREE SPINNING ALONG THE WHEEL STUD OR BOLT. AT FIRST I THOUGHT THE LUG NUTS HAD JUST STRIPPED AND WAS IN THE PROCESS OF REPLACING THEM WHEN THE ENTIRE LUG NUT AND WHEEL STUDS (BOLT) CAME COMPLETELY OFF THE WHEEL HUB. THIS IS VERY CONCERNING DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE VEHICLE IS ONLY TWO (2) YEARS OLD AND IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, NOT TO MENTION THAT I HAVE NEVER ENCOUNTERED A PROBLEM WITH A VEHICLES WHEEL STUDS. THE WHEEL STUDS ALONG WITH THE LUG NUTS ARE THE COMPONENTS THAT HOLD THE TIRES SECURELY TO THE VEHICLES. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO LOCATE THE VEHICLE AT THE LOCAL PARTS STORES, I SPENT SEVERAL HOURS ON THE WEB TRYING TO FIND THE REPLACEMENT WHEEL STUDS TO NO AVAIL. HOWEVER, I DID FIND WHERE FORD MOTOR VEHICLE COMPANY HAS RECALLED SEVERAL 2010 FORD FOCUS AND 2010 FORD FUSION FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. TO QUOTE "LUG NUT, BOLT OR STUD WERE FOUND DEFECTIVE, (SHEARED COMPLETELY OFF) ON SEVERAL 2010 FORD FUSION MODELS." WHEN I APPROACHED THE FORD DEALERSHIP TO ORDER REPLACEMENT WHEEL STUDS THEY ACTED SUPRISED AND NON-CHALANT CONCERNING THE PROBLEMS AND SIMPLY STATED THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. IS THIS RELATED? *TR

WE RECENTLY EXPERIENCED A TIRE BLOWOUT OF THE LEFT REAR TIRE ON OUR 2010 FORD EDGE WHILE TRAVELING SOUTH ON INTERSTATE 81 SOUTH JUST OUTSIDE OF SCRANTON PA. AT THE TIME OF THE BLOWOUT WE WERE TRAVELING ABOUT 60MPH. WHEN I WENT TO CHANGE THE TIRE I OBSERVED THAT THE WHEEL (RIM) HAD STARTED TO COLLAPSE AND THE OUTER RIM HAD SEPARATED FROM THE HUB ABOUT 75% OF THE WAY. WE DID NOT RUN OVER ANYTHING THAT WE CAN REMEMBER. THERE WAS NO NOISE THAT WOULD NORMALLY BE EXPECTED IF SOMETHING WAS IN THE ROAD AND NEITHER OF US HEARD ANYTHING BUT THE NOISE OF THE TIRE BLOWOUT. (IF THERE WAS SOMETHING IN THE ROAD, HOW DID THE FRONT TIRE NOT CONTACT IT AS WELL??) THE ROAD WAS CLEAR AHEAD OF US. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER, BUT HAD TO "INCH" ALONG THE SIDE OF THE ROAD FOR ABOUT 200YDS TO GET TO A SAFE POINT TO CHANGE THE TIRE. AFTER THAT, WE WENT TO A LOCAL FORD DEALER FOR ASSISTANCE, AS WE WERE NOT COMFORTABLE DRIVING ANOTHER 500 MILES ON A "MINI" SPARE TIRE. THE DEALER SHARED WITH US THAT THEY HAD NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE. AFTER SOME EXAMINATION WE DID NOTICE A TINY PUNCTURE OF THE TIRE ON THE INSIDE SURFACE OF THE TIRE. THERE IS A CORRESPONDING "PUSHED IN" SURFACE OF THE ALUMINUM WHEEL. (I HAVE PHOTOS AVAILABLE, AS WELL AS THE WHEEL AND TIRE). I REPORT THIS AS A CONCERN FOR THE SAFETY OF OTHERS AS THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT HAD THE WHEEL SEPARATED. FORD MOTOR COMPANY DID NOTHING TO ASSIST WITH THIS DEFECTIVE WHEEL. WE ARE ALSO NOT FEELING COMFORTABLE THAT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN IF WE GET ANOTHER BLOWOUT. SO FAR THIS HAS COST US ABOUT $1,000 FOR REPLACEMENT WHEEL & TIRE. *TR
