2010 Ford Edge

I AM REPORTING A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH THE WARNING MONITOR SENSOR SYSTEMS ON MY 2010 FORD EDGE. AS YOU MAY KNOW THERE IS A 'DOOR AJAR SENSOR' NOTIFICATION SYSTEM NOTIFYING THE DRIVER OF A DOOR BEING AJAR. THE PROBLEM IS THE SENSOR CONSTANTLY FAILS WHEN THE DOOR IS NOT AJAR OR SEEMS TO NOT BE AJAR. THERE ARE SEVERAL PROBLEMS WHEN THERE IS THE DISPLAY ONE: 'NOT SURE DOORS ARE LOCKED, ESPECIALLY WHEN ONE IS TRANSPORTING CHILDREN. 'CAN NOT LOCK THE CAR DOORS ' THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD WITH CHILDREN IN THE CAR. ALSO, WITH THE GREAT INCREASE IN 'CAR JACKINGS', NOT BEING ABLE TO LOCK THE DOORS MAKES THE FAMILY VERY VULNERABLE. 'NEXT, THE DISPLAY LEAVES THE INTERIOR LIGHTS ON PUTTING AN UNNECESSARY DRAIN ON THE CAR ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THIS COULD ADVERSELY SAFETY OF THE OTHER ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS CAUSING A FAILURE IN TRAFFIC. 'THE WARNING MESSAGE NEVER TIMES OUT AND COMPLETELY BLOCKS THE DASHBOARD DISPLAY PREVENTING OTHER WARNING MESSAGES OR THE SYSTEM BACK UP OBSERVATION FROM WORKING. FORD HAS KNOWN OF THIS PROBLEM FOR SEVERAL YEARS AND REFUSES TO ISSUE A RECALL IN ORDER TO CORRECT THIS SAFETY PROBLEM.

TAKATA RECALL WE HAVE A RECALL DATED JUNE 1, 2016 STATING THAT THE FRONT AIRBAG COULD RUPTURE IF THE VEHICLE IS INVOLVED IN A CRASH, RESULTING IN METAL FRAGMENTS STRIKING OCCUPANTS CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR POSSIBLY DEATH. TODAY IS SEPTEMBER 27, 2016 AND THE ISSUE IS STILL NOT RESOLVED, AS WE ARE AWAITING PARTS. I CONTACTED FORD MOTOR COMPANY TODAY AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOT DEFINITIVE DATE AS TO WHEN THE PARTS WILL BECOME AVAILABLE. I AM DEEPLY CONCERNED THAT IT HAS TAKEN FOUR MONTHS AND THERE IS STILL NO RESOLUTION. I WAS TOLD TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE, ALTHOUGH IT HAS FAULTY AIRBAGS. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT CAN BE DONE TO EXPEDITE THE REPAIR OF MY CAR.

TWO DAYS AGO BEGAN INTERMITTENT LOSS OF POWER BRAKES. HAD TO NEARLY PUT MY FOOT THROUGH THE FLOOR TO GET MY VEHICLE TO STOP IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. WAS ADVISED BY LOCAL MECHANIC OF CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM 13N02 WHICH ACKNOWLEDGES BRAKE BOOSTER PROBLEM IN MY MODEL YEAR EDGE. CONTACTED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE AND DEALER AND WAS TOLD BY BOTH THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS REPAIR. NOW I AM FACING A COSTLY MECHANIC'S BILL (NEARLY $1000) FOR A KNOWN AND DANGEROUS PROBLEM.

TAKATA RECALL. THIS CAR IS UNDER RECALL FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. I DID NOT RECEIVE ANY NOTIFICATION AND FORD IS UNWILLING TO PROVIDE A LOANER. THEY HAVE NO ETA FOR THE REPAIR, BUT ARE GUESSING SECOND QUARTER 2017. SO WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DRIVE THIS CAR UNTIL SECOND QUARTER 2017 WITHOUT USING THE PASSENGER SEAT OR SITTING ANYTHING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT?? REALLY? FORD SHOULD BE PROVIDING FREE LOANERS AND SHOULD HAVE NOTIFIED OUR FAMILY BY MAIL!! SAME AIRBAG WITH A SUBARU WE OWN AND YET SUBARU NOTIFIED US BY MAIL AND PROVIDED A FREE LOANER. THE NTSB SHOULD BE MORE PROTECTIVE OF CONSUMERS WHERE FORD IS CONCERNED.

BRAKES WERE MAKING NOISE. DEALERSHIP CHARGED ME ~$1,500 TO REPLACE BRAKE BOOSTER AND PARKING BRAKE CONTROL MODULE. HOWEVER, JUST FOUND ISSUANCE 13N02, WHICH EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR SAME PROBLEM FOR OTHER YEARS OF THIS MAKE AND MODEL. PLEASE EXTEND THE RECALL TO INCLUDE 2010 FORD EDGE. THE BRAKES SHOULD NOT FAIL LIKE THIS IN A 6 YEAR OLD CAR WITH ONLY 60K MILES!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRUNK DID NOT RESPOND TO THE KEY FOB. WHEN THE KEY FOB WAS PRESSED, THE TRUNK OPENED AND CLOSED REPEATEDLY. ONCE THE TRUNK WAS CLOSED MANUALLY, THE INTERIOR LIGHTING IN THE VEHICLE REMAINED ILLUMINATED, WHICH DRAINED THE BATTERY. THE CONTACT HAD TO TAKE THE CABLES OFF OF THE BATTERY AT THE END OF EACH DAY TO KEEP THE BATTERY FROM DRAINING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 91,967.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD EDGE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V384000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

TAKATA RECALL I HAVE CALLED NUMEROUS TIMES REGARDING THE AVAILABILITY OF THIS PART. MY SON OWNS A 2011 FORD MUSTANG GT AND HIS VEHICLE ALSO HAS THIS RECALL. WE ARE BEING TOLD WHEN WE WANT TO TRADE THESE VEHICLES IN WE WILL NOT GET BLUE BOOK VALUE DUE TO DEFECT!!!! DEALERS DO NOT WANT TO PUT THESE VEHICLES ON THEIR LOT AND BE RESPONSIBLE FOR SELLING A VEHICLE WITH A DANGEROUS DEFECT. WE ARE STUCK!!!!!!
