2010 Ford Edge

DEC 17,2016 A SEVERE JERKING WHILE DRIVING ON A VILLAGE MAIN ST. WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. I STOPPED CAR, GOT CAR MANUAL, SAW THAT IT WAS POWER TRAIN PROBLEM. I BEGAN GOOGLING AND WILL SEE MY MECHANIC ON MONDAY. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED ABOUT 3WKS AGO I LOST DRIVING POWER AND DROVE MY WIFE TO WORK ON IDLE POWER. WHEN I GOT HOME I SHUT OFF CAR AND STARTED AGAIN AND IT WORKED OK (EXCEPT FOR MILD JERKING) UNTIL NOW (3WKS LATER). MY MECHANIC SAID (AFTER 1ST INCIDENT) THAT IT WAS A THROTTLE PROBLEM, ALTHOUGH HE FOUND NO CODE ERROR. MY WIFE AND I LOVE THIS CAR AND SO DO OUR LITTLE NIECE AND NEPHEW, BUT IT IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. WE JUST GOT BACK FROM TEXAS (4000 MI) BEFORE ALL THIS HAPPENED AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE. MY NEXT STEP WILL BE TO WRITE TO OUR AUTHORITIES BECAUSE THIS SEEMS TO BE A DANGEROUS NATIONAL PROBLEM. ALL THOSE AFFECTED SHOULD DO THE SAME.

TAKATA RECAL -- MY FORD DEALER, AUTO NATION FORD, 12227 GULF FWY, HOUSTON, TX‎, KEEPS TELLING ME THAT THEY STILL ARE WAITING ON PARTS AND CANNOT YET REPLACE MY AIR BAG. I OFTEN DRIVE WITH MY 21 MONTH OLD GRANDSON AND AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT MYSELF AND MY GRANDSON OR HUSBAND, BEING PHYSICALLY HURT IN A CRUSH DUE TO THIS RECALL THAT HAS NOT YET BEEN FIXED.

AS WE WERE DRIVING ON A RESIDENTIAL SIDE STREET, GOING ABOUT 25MPH, COMING UP A SLIGHT INCLINE, THE CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING. WE WERE ABLE TO GET IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. WE TURNED IT OFF AND ON AND NOTHING HAPPENED. ABOUT 10-15 MINUTES LATER THE ENGINE STARTED BUT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. WE WERE ONLY ABLE TO GO ABOUT 2MPH. WE WERE ABLE TO GET IT TO A MECHANICAL SHOP NEARBY. THE NEXT MORNING WHEN THEY PULLED THE VEHICLE IN, THEY EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE. WHEN THE TURNED IT OFF AND BACK ON TO DO MORE TESTS THE CAR WAS WORKING "FINE." THE SHOP INSPECTED IT AND DID NOTE THE POTENTIAL THROTTLE BODY ISSUE BUT AS THE VEHICLE WAS NOW RUNNING IT COULD NOT BE PROPERTY DIAGNOSED. WE HAVE TAKEN IT TO A FORD DEALER AND THE SAME INFORMATION WAS GIVEN TO US. WE HAVE CONFIRMED THROUGH FRIENDS WHO HAVE A 2011 FORD THAT THEY RECEIVED A CUSTOMER SATISFACTION LETTER FROM FORD NOTING THE ISSUE WITH THE THROTTLE BODY AND LOSING ACCELERATION. WHEN FORD CUSTOMER CARE WAS CONTACTED THEY NOTE THE PROBLEM BUT "NOT" WITH OUR YEAR VEHICLE. THE SERVICE PERSONNEL AT FORD HAVE CONFIRMED THIS WILL LIKELY HAPPEN AGAIN AND NOTE IT IS A PROBLEM ON OTHER FORD VEHICLES AS WELL AND WE WERE ADVISED TO "DRIVE" IT INTO FORD THE NEXT TIME IT HAPPENS. THIS IS CLEARLY A PROBLEM ACROSS MANY YEARS OF FORD VEHICLES, YET THEY DO NOT WANT TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT OR PUT OUT A RECALL ON AN ISSUE THAT IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET WITH SIMILAR EXPERIENCES.

BRAKE BOOSTER IS LEAKING, WHEN I PRESS ON THE BRAKES WE CAN HEAR A HISSING NOISE, AND AT TIMES WE HAVE TO APPLY A LOT OF PRESSURE TO GET THE BRAKES TO WORK. WE ONLY HAVE 85,000 MILES ON OUR EDGE, I NOTICED THAT THERE AD BEEN A CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM 13N02 WHICH HAS EXPIRED AND DOESN'T INCLUDE MY VEHICLE HOWEVER ALL OF THE SYMPTOMS ARE THE SAME AS WHAT THE LETTER STATES. I CALLED FORD AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO HELP ME. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT IF THE SYMPTOMS ARE IDENTICAL TO THE VEHICLES THAT HAD THE LETTER SENT OUT TO EXTEND THE WARRANTY TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM THAT THEY NEED TO LOOK AT THE FACT THAT THE PROBLEM HAS REACHED MORE VEHICLES THAN THEY THOUGHT IT AFFECTED. HOW MANY FORD EDGES HAVE HAD BRAKE BOOSTER PROBLEMS. THIS SHOULD BE A FULL RECALL TO ENSURE OUR SAFETY.
