2011 FORD EDGE. FROM THE TIME THAT I TOOK POSSESSION OF THIS NEW VEHICLE, IT HAS DRIFTED OR PULLED TO THE RIGHT. IT WILL MOVE ABOUT 5 FEET IN A MATTER OF 50 TO 75 FEET IN MOVING DIRECTION. THE DEALER SHIP SERVICE MANAGER STATES , IT IS IN SPECIFICATION". IN 560 YEARS OF TRAVELING IN MY WORK AND WITH 28 DIFFERENT VEHICLES, I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS SITUATION THAT COULD NOT BE CORRECTED.. ANOTHER STATEMENT BY THE SERVICE MANAGER WAS THAT ANOTHER AUTO LINE OWNED BY FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND THEIR ENGINEERS HELPED TO DESIGN AND ENGINEER THE ALL WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM OF THIS VEHICLE, THE 2011 FORD EDGE. I HAVE HQD THIS VEHICLE ON TWO DIFFERENT TRIPS ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAYS, A GOOD FLAT SURFACE AND WHEN YOU TAKE YOUR HANDS SLIGHTLY OFF THE STEERING WHEEL, THE DRIFTING STARTS IMMEDIATELY. I ABSOLUTELY BELIEVE THIS IS A FAULT IN THIS CAR AND CAN BE CORRECTED, EVEN IF IT REQUIRES A RECALL. WHEN I HAD MY CAR IN THE DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND THE SERVICE MANAGER DROVE THIS VEHICLE, HE CAME BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP, TOOK ANOTHER BRAND NEW FORD EDGE OFF OF THE LOT AND WE RODE IN IT AND IT DID THE SAME THING, DRIFTING OR PULLING TO THE RIGHT, THEREFORE THE REASON I BELIEVE FOR HIS STATEMENT THAT THE CAR WAS IN ITS "TOLERANCE". THE VEHICLE PURCHASED AT KEN WILSON FORD, DEALERSHIP, IN CANTON, NORTH CAROLINA. *TR
