ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
I WAS RUNNING ERRANDS DRIVING AROUND TOWN ONE DAY WHEN I NOTICED MY AUTO ENGINE START/STOP FEATURE IN MY 2017 FORD EDGE STOPPED WORKING. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP & THEY SAID IT WAS A MISFIRE IN THE ENGINE. A WEEK LATER, A YELLOW LIGHT WITH THE PICTURE OF AN ENGINE APPEARS ON MY DASH. I TOOK MY CAR FOR A DIAGNOSTIC. IT CAME BACK WITH THE CODE P0304. I TAKE MY CAR TO FORD AND THEY SUGGEST REPLACING THE LONG BLOCK. THEY QUOTE ME $6,800. I NOTICED THAT MY HEAT IN MY CAR STOPPED WORKING ON THE WAY HOME. I CHECK THE COOLANT LEVEL AND IT WAS REALLY LOW. I PUT COOLANT IN MY RESERVOIR AND IT WORKS AGAIN. BUT, I HAVE TO KEEP FILLING THE RESERVOIR WITH COOLANT EVERY OTHER DAY, WHICH GETS EXPENSIVE. I TELL THE SERVICE GUYS, AND THEY TELL ME THAT THE COOLANT IS LEAKING INTO MY ENGINE DUE TO A MANUFACTURER DEFECT, WHICH CAUSES THE HEATING TO STOP WORKING, AND LOW COOLANT LEVELS. I CONTACT FORD MOTORS COMPANY, AND THEY TELL ME MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY. I PURCHASED MY CAR USED ON FEBRUARY 27,2020. IT HAD 57 THOUSAND MILES ON IT THE DAY OF PURCHASE. THE WARRANTY WAS UP AT 60 THOUSAND MILES. NOT FAIR TO ME AT ALL AS I WAS TOLD I HAD A WARRANTY FROM THE MILEAGE I GOT THE CAR AT AND 60 THOUSAND MILES BEYOND. THEY SAID IT WAS NOTHING THEY CAN DO AND ALSO BECAUSE I DID NOT LEAVE MY CAR AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP THEY WOULD NOT WORK ON MY CASE. MY CASE MANAGER FROM FORD MOTORS NEVER EVER CONTACTED ME PRIOR TO CLOSING MY CASE ONCE SHE DISCOVERED I NEVER LEFT MY CAR AT FORD. I TRIED REACHING OUT TO HER SEVERAL TIMES IN ATTEMPTS OF GETTING MY CAR TO FORD AND SEEING WHERE WE CAN GO FROM THERE, AND SHE NEVER ANSWERED OR RETURNED ANY OF MY CALLS OR EMAILS. FORD NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE AND ISSUE A RECALL AS THEY WERE MADE AWARE OF THE EXPENSIVE ISSUE BY MANY OTHER CUSTOMERS FROM REVIEWS AND FORUMS I HAVE READ ONLINE AND HEARD FROM OTHER EDGE OWNERS.

POWER TRAIN
Potential Consequences:
I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN MAY 2019 WITH 43K MILES, STILL UNDER POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. IN NOVEMBER 2020 I NOTICED THE VEHICLE MISFIRING DURING STARTUP AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. AFTER HAVING MY MECHANIC DIAGNOSIS, IT IS THE ISSUE OF COOLANT LEAKING INTO CYLINDER #4 AND THE ENGINE NEEDS REPLACED. IT NOW HAS 70K MILES SO IT IS OUT OF POWER TRAIN WARRANTY. THIS IS A WELL DOCUMENDED ISSUE AS REPORTED BY FORD INNITIALLY IN THEIR TSB 19-2172. THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW THAT CAUSES SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE AND SHOULD BE RECALL UNDER EVERY REASONABLE CIRCUMSTANCE.

Potential Consequences:
HAPPENS EVERY TIME I BRAKE. HITTING THE BRAKE TO STOP ENGINE SHAKES VIOLENTLY AS I COME TO A STOP. IN ADDITION TO VIOLENT ENGINE SHAKING THE CAR IS THRUSTING FORWARD. I HAVE TO PUT MY FOOT HARDER ON THE BRAKE NOT TO HIT THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. I WILL HAVE TO THROW IT IN NEUTRAL TO STOP THE SHAKING. IN NEUTRAL THE ENGINE REVS. WHEN TRAFFIC BEGINS TO MOVE I HAVE TO PUT IT BACK IN DRIVE AND HIT THE GAS BUT THEN IT LAGS SEVERELY. IT WON'T GO ANYWHERE FOR MULTIPLE SECONDS BEFORE IT FINALLY TAKES OFF. THAT LITERALLY HAPPENS EVERYTIME I STOP AND GO. IF YOU ARE IN PARK AND HAVE YOUR FOOT ON THE BRAKE TOO LONG BEFORE PUTTING IN A GEAR IT STALLS OUT. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND OPENED A CASE WITH FORD CORPORATION WHO BOTH DEEMED THE VEHICLE UNSAFE, BUT NEITHER WANT TO TAKE CARE OF THE ISSUE. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR MONTHS. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP TWICE AND FORD HAS DENIED TO ASSIST WITH GETTING IT FIXED TWICE. THERE ARE SO MANY UNSAFE 2017 FORD EDGE TRANSMISSIONS. I WISH THEY WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS. IT'S VERY SCARY TO DRIVE. MY DOCUMENTS ARE IN THE FORD COMPUTER SYSTEM. THEY SAY THE WHOLE TRANSMISSION LOCKS UP AND RHE WHOLE TRANSMISSION NEEDS REPLACED. I'VE ALMOST BEEN HIT SO MANY TIMES PULLING OUT BECAUSE THE CAR DOESN'T GO.

I HAVE TO PUT MY FOOT HARDER ON THE BRAKE NOT TO HIT THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. I WILL HAVE TO THROW IT IN NEUTRAL TO STOP THE SHAKING. IN NEUTRAL THE ENGINE REVS. WHEN TRAFFIC BEGINS TO MOVE I HAVE TO PUT IT BACK IN DRIVE AND HIT THE GAS BUT THEN IT LAGS SEVERELY. IT WON'T GO ANYWHERE FOR MULTIPLE SECONDS BEFORE IT FINALLY TAKES OFF. THAT LITERALLY HAPPENS EVERYTIME I STOP AND GO. IF YOU ARE IN PARK AND HAVE YOUR FOOT ON THE BRAKE TOO LONG BEFORE PUTTING IN A GEAR IT STALLS OUT. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND OPENED A CASE WITH FORD CORPORATION WHO BOTH DEEMED THE VEHICLE UNSAFE, BUT NEITHER WANT TO TAKE CARE OF THE ISSUE. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR MONTHS. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP TWICE AND FORD HAS DENIED TO ASSIST WITH GETTING IT FIXED TWICE. THERE ARE SO MANY UNSAFE 2017 FORD EDGE TRANSMISSIONS. I WISH THEY WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS. IT'S VERY SCARY TO DRIVE. MY DOCUMENTS ARE IN THE FORD COMPUTER SYSTEM. THEY SAY THE WHOLE TRANSMISSION LOCKS UP AND RHE WHOLE TRANSMISSION NEEDS REPLACED. I'VE ALMOST BEEN HIT SO MANY TIMES PULLING OUT BECAUSE THE CAR DOESN'T GO.

SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
IN APRIL 2020, THE PASSENGER FRONT BRAKE LINE BURST AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN A HILL IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD. THE LOW BRAKE FLUID LIGHT CAME ON AS I PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL WHICH WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. FORTUNATELY, I WAS NOT GOING FAST AND NO CARS WERE COMING SO I WAS ABLE TO SLOW THE VEHICLE BY TURNING RIGHT AND GOING UP ANOTHER SMALL HILL. WE REPLACED THAT LINE OURSELVES. IN AUGUST 2020, THE DRIVER FRONT BRAKE LINE BURST IN A PARKING LOT AS I WAS SLOWING DOWN TO PARK. I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO A STOP. FORD HAD JUST ISSUED A NOTICE OF RECALL FOR THE FRONT BRAKE LINES SO I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A FORD DEALERSHIP IN SHAWNEE, KS. THEY REPLACED THE LINE WITH A TEMPORARY BRAKE LONE AS THEY DID NOT HAVE THE RECALL PART IN. IN OCTOBER 2020, THE REAR PASSENGER BRAKE LINE FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED. AS I PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL TO START THE CAR, THE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. I KNEW IMMEDIATELY THAT ONE OF THE BRAKE LINES HAD RUPTURED. I GOT OUT OF THE CAR AND SURE ENOUGH, I HAD BRAKE FLUID LEAKING FROM THE REAR PASSENGER BRAKE LINE. BECAUSE THE RECALL ONLY COVERED THE FRONT BRAKE LINES, WE REPLACED THE RUPTURED LINE AS WELL AS THE ONLY BRAKE LINE THAT HAD NOT RUPTURED. WE FIGURED IT WAS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THAT ONE BURST, TOO. I HAVE ATTACHED A PICTURE OF THE REAR BRAKE LINE THAT BURST IN OCTOBER. WE KEPT IT AS I PLAN TO TAKE IT WITH ME WHEN THE RECALL PARTS FINALLY COME IN AND DEMAND THEY CHANGE THE REAR BRAKE LINES AT NO COST AS WELL.
