Brake booster has to be replaced which was being covered up until 2020 the mechanic told me so I liked to know why it's not covered now. I bought the vehicle in late December of ,2020 so I wouldn't have known and I got it from a dealership. The brakes don't work because of this known problem. So I have a $800 repair bill I'm hoping to get taken care like it should have when I bought it. Thanks for your time and help!

VEHICLE HAS MAJOR ABS PROBLEMS WITCH ALSO AFFECTS THE TRACTION CONTROL. VEHICLE RANDOMLY DOES NOT RESPOND TO BRAKING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. FORD NEEDS TO STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT AND FIX THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT AS A RESULT. I BOUGHT THIS SUV FOR MY WIFE AND KIDS IT ONLY HAS 100K. IT SHOULDN'T BE HAVING THESE ISSUES.

'TAKATA RECALL' I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED AND UNSAFE WITH MY FORD EDGE , FOR THE LAST FEW WEEKS IT HAS BEEN SHUTTING OFF WHEN THE CAR COMES TO A STOP OR IN IDLE. THERE IS NO CODES OR ANY WARNING SIGNS THAT COMES UP . THE CAR JUST LOSSES POWER AND SHITS OFF ON ITS OWN. I AM TIRED OF FIXING AND SPENDING MONEY BEHIND MY FORD EDGE I KNOW IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ENGINE BECAUSE IT WAS RECENTLY REPLACED LAST YEAR JULY UNDER WARRANTY ALSO I REPLACED ALL TENSIONS AND THE WATER PUMP ALSO SPARK PLUGS . I TOOK IT TO MY MAIN MECHANIC AND HE COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHAT'S THE PROBLEM HE TOLD ME TO GO TO FORD AND I WENT TO FORD AND THEY TOOK 2 DAYS TO TELL ME THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT'S THE PROBLEM . TODAY I WAS ON MY WAY HOME ON THE HIGHWAY I COME TO SLOW DOWN GETTING OFF ON MY EXIT AND THE CAR JUST SHUTS OFF AND THE STEERING WHEEL GETS TIGHT AND I CAN'T MOVE OR TURN IT . THERE WAS CARS NEXT TO ME AND BEHIND ME AND IN FRONT I COULD OF GOT HURT OR PUT OTHERS IN DANGER . THIS IS NOT SAFE FOR FORD TO HAVE VECHILES OUT ON THE ROAD LIKE THIS WITH NOT SOURCE OF HOW TO FIX IT OR ANY WARNING LIGHT.

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.

#1) THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW IN 2010 AND FROM THE BEGINNING WHEN I PRESS ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL THE CAR WILL SOMETIMES JUST GOES INTO A DEAD MODE AND DOES NOTHING FOR A FEW SECONDS. IF I TRY TO ACCELERATE AND THE CAR DOESN'T REACT I SOMETIMES HAVE TO MASH ON THE PEDAL TO GET THE CAR TO GO. THIS HAS PROVEN TO BE A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM WHEN I HAVE TO MERGE OR TURN QUICKLY OUT OF A SIDE STREET OF THROUGH AN INTERSECTION IN A QUICK MANNER. ITS AS IF THE CAR HAS A HICCUP OR SOME TYPE OF DELAY FROM PEDAL TO MOTOR? #2) ON ANOTHER NOTE THAT HAS TO DO WITH DASHBOARD DESIGN ,WHEN I TURN ON MY TURN SIGNALS THE HIGH BEAM WILL SOMETIMES ENGAGE BECAUSE THE HIGH BEAM SWITCH AND THE TURN SIGNAL SWITCH ARE ON THE SAME ARM AND THE HIGH BEAM IS DESIGNED TO BE PUSHED FORWARD INSTEAD OF THE TRADITIONAL PULLED TOWARD YOU TO ACTIVATE.THIS PUSHING MOTION IS CONSISTENT WITH MY HAND REACHING TOWARD THE TURN SIGNAL IN A FORWARD MOTION. THIS OCCURRENCE IS SOMETIMES MISTAKEN FOR AGGRESSIVE BEHAVIOR OR AN ANNOYANCE TO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. *JS

I BOUGHT A USED 2010 FORD EDGE LAST YEAR AUGUST FROM CONNICELLI DEALER IN CONSHOHOKEN PA. THE SAME DAY I BOUGHT THE CAR, ON MY WAY HOME I NOTICED THAT THE BRAKE HAS A PROBLEM. TOOK IT BACK AND WAS FIXED. RIGHT AFTER THIS., I WAS PARKING IN A SMALL PARKING LOT , THE CAR ACCELERATED ON HIS OWN AND WENT ON THE GRASS. THE SECOND TIME I WAS PARKING IN FRONT OF MY GARAGE, THE CAR ACCELERATED AGAIN AND I ALMOST DRAG MY SECOND CAR TO THE BASEMENT. THE THIRD TIME, I WAS PARKING IN SMALL PARKING LOT AND IT ACCELERATED AGAIN. ONLY THIS TIME, THE CAR CRASH INTO PARKED CAR AND THE CAR HIT ANOTHER CAR. MY CAR AND TWO OTHER CARS WAS DAMAGED. THANK GOD, NOBODY WAS IN THE TWO CARS. THE 3 CARS LOOK LIKE IT WAS A HIGHWAY AUTO ACCIDENT. I AM NOT SURE IF THE US GOVERNMENT IS GOING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT FORD AND THE ACCELERATION PROBLEM UNTIL WHEN IT KILLS ONE OF THEIR OWN. ORDINARY CITIZEN DO NOT COUNT. FORD COMPANY IS A GIANT, MEGA COMPANY THAT HELPS WHEN IT COMES TO POLITICIANS IN US. I AM SCARED OF THIS CAR. IT ALMOST KILL ME. FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS ON THIS MONSTER HEARTLESS COMPANY SIDE. KILLING INNOCENT PEOPLE BECAUSE OF THEIR POWER IN THIS COUNTRY. FORD COMPANY ARE UNTOUCHABLE. CONSUMERS JUST HAVE TO LIVE WITH IT. THE ONLY TIME YOU PROBABLY GET A SOLUTION WILL BE WHEN ONE OF THE TOPS GET KILLED IN A FORD AUTO ACCIDENT OCCURRING WITH AN ACCELERATION PROBLEM. THEN YOU WILL HEAR IT THE CNN. SHAME ON ALL THAT KNOWS THIS ACCELERATION PROBLEM AND NOT DOING ANYTHING. WILL IT BE DIFFERENT IF ITS YOUR MOTHER, FATHER, WIFE, HUSBAND, DAUGHTER, SON OR GRANDCHILDREN. I AM 56 YEAR OLD AND I HAVE DRIVEN DIFFERENT CARS, NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT UNTIL I BOUGHT THIS FORD EDGE. DO THE RIGHT THING. FORD COMPANY YOU'RE SELLING US A LEMON AND YOU KNOW IT. YOU NEED TO PAY FOR THIS KILLINGS. US FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, YOU'RE OUR LAST HOPE. PLEASE HELP US. *TR

ON 05/01/2013 I ENTERED INTO A PARKING LOT IN A SHOPPING MALL, WITH MY RIGHT FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL WHILE BRAKING TO STOP AT A 15 OR 20 MILES PER HOUR, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY AND UNINTENTIONALLY ACCELERATED, THE RPMS JUMPED ABOUT 2000 MORE (1500 TO 3500 APROX.) AND I LEFT THE TIRES PRINTS OVER THE PAVEMENT BECAUSE I PUT THE BRAKE FULLY PRESSED WHILE THE ENGINE WAS ACCELERATING WITHOUT TOUCHING THE GAS PEDAL. FORTUNATELY THERE WAS NO CRASH NOR INJURIES TO PASSENGERS OR PEDESTRIANS, BUT I HAVE NOTICED THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED TO SEVERAL PERSONS AROUND THE COUNTRY, SO I ASK IF THIS GOVERNMENT AGENCY WOULD ISSUE A RECALL BECAUSE IT IS A SAFETY AND A HIGH RISK SITUATION. THANK YOU. *TR

ON 1/21/12, I PULLED INTO A PARKING SPACE, WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE TO PUT THE CAR INTO PARK, THE ENGINE MADE A FUNNY NOISE AND THE CAR SURGED FORWARD CRASHING INTO A FORD MUSTANG. THIS CRASH SHOULD NEVER HAVE HAPPENED SINCE MY FOOT HAD THE BRAKE DEPRESSED. WHEN THE CAR CAME TO A HALT AFTER HITTING THE MUSTANG, I HAD TO PULL THE GEAR SHIFT OUT OF "PARK" TO BACK UP OFF THE DAMAGED VEHICLE. AFTER TAKING MY VEHICLE TO RANDALL FORD TO BE CHECKED OUT, I WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE. THEY TRIED TO CONVINCE ME THAT MY FOOT WAS ON BOTH PEDALS. THIS IS VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO DO IN MY CAR UNLESS MY FOOT WAS TURNED AT A 90 DEGREE ANGLE FROM IT'S NORMAL POSITION. IF MY FOOT HAD SLIPPED OFF THE BRAKE AND HIT THE GAS I WOULD HAVE SAID THAT AND NEVER TAKEN MY VEHICLE IN TO BE INSPECTED. I KNOW FORD NEVER WANTS TO ADMIT THEY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THEIR VEHICLES BUT I URGE THE "POWERS THAT BE" TO GO BACK INTO THEIR ISSUE HISTORY AND CHECK OUT THE ISSUES YOU HAD WITH THE FORD FREESPIRIT SURGING FORWARD ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. I WOULD LIKE FOR SOMEONE TO TAKE THIS ISSUE SERIOUS WHILE MY CAR IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. I CANNOT AFFORD AN $8000. REPAIR. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO STATE THAT IF SOMEONE HAD BEEN BETWEEN MY CAR AND THE MUSTANG IT HIT, THEY COULD HAVE BEEN SEVERELY HURT OR KILLED. *TR

WE PURCHASED A 2010 FORD EDGE BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY TESTS OF THESE VEHICLES. IT HAS SINCE DEVELOPED A DELAY IN TAKE OFF ABOUT TWICE PER MONTH. IT IS ALMOST LIKE THE TRANSMISSION IS NOT ENGAGED, THEN VIOLENTLY ENGAGES AND LURCHES THE VEHICLE FORWARD. LAST MONTH A CAR HAD TO SLAM IT'S BRAKES TO AVOID HITTING MY WIFE AND CHILDREN AS THE CAR DELAYED, AND BEFORE MY WIFE COULD GET ON THE BRAKE, IT ENGAGED AND LURCHED THE CAR INTO TRAFFIC. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN, ONE THAT I WOULD FIGURE FORD WOULD TAKE VERY SERIOUSLY SINCE IT IS DOCUMENTED, HOWEVER THEY REFUSE TO ADMIT SOMETHING IS WRONG. OF COURSE IT HAS NOT BEEN DUPLICATED AFTER MANY DAYS IN THE SHOP, BUT IT JUST HAPPENED AGAIN 2 HOURS AGO. THE DEALERSHIP OF BOTH PURCHASE AND REFUSAL TO FIX THE PROBLEM IS MCLARTY AUTO MALL IN TEXARKANA TEXAS. *KB
