2009 FORD EDGE -- MAJOR ISSUE-- FORD NEEDS TO COVER COSTS--- I WAS DRIVING MY 2009 FORD EDGE SEL APPROX. 4 MILES. ONCE I ROLLED TO A STOP AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT THE CAR BEGAN TO IDLE AND THEN STALLED. NO WARNING LIGHTS.. I STARTED THE ENGINE AND PRESSED THE GAS (NO ACCELERATION). THE ENGINE RAN AT AROUND 1-2K RPM. I PRESSED THE GAS AGAIN, NO ACCELERATION. I SHUT OFF THE CAR CALLED AAA FOR A TOW. I STARTED THE CAR ONCE MORE TO CHECK THE GAUGES, NO SERVICE LIGHTS. WHEN I CHECKED THE OTHER INDICATORS IT STATED, CAR TEMP -- OK, OIL PRESSURE - OK, ETC... ALL OK.. NO WARNING LIGHTS, NO ISSUES. THE CAR WAS IN ABOUT 1.5 MONTHS AGO FOR OIL, 3-4 MONTHS FOR SERVICE. ABOUT 8-9 MONTHS AGO, MOROONE FORD OF MARGATE (UNDER WARRANTY) FIXED AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE (WHERE NO LIGHTS WERE SHOWING) THEY CLAIMED IT WAS A FORD ISSUE AND THEY REPLACED IT (NO COST). WELL NOW THIS HAPPENED AND MOROONE FORD OF MARGATE SAID, "BLOWN ENGINE, $7,700 TO REPLACE + $400 FOR COOLING FAN." THEY SAID THE COOLING FAN BROKE (NO WARNING) AND THE ENGINE BLEW. NO WARNING, LIGHTS, ETC... WHEN I LOOKED UNDER THE HOOD WAITING FOR AAA (NO SMOKE, NO SMELL... YET A BLOWN ENGINE (FULL REPLACEMENT)... I WILL FIGHT THIS BECAUSE I BELIEVE THIS IS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE THAT THEY TRIED TO FIX PRIOR AND THIS HAPPENED AGAIN. I ALSO DON'T BELIEVE THE ENGINE WAS DESTROYED. HOPEFULLY THE GOVERNMENT AND FORD WILL RESEARCH AND COVER THE REPAIRS / REPLACEMENT. NO WARNING LIGHTS OIL TEMP -- OK OIL PRESSURE -- OK CAR IDLED AND STALLED... APPROX. MILES 82,000. *TR
2010
SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
I HAVE A NEW 2010 FORD EDGE. I HAD IT A WEEK WHEN I PULLED UP TO A STOP SIGN ON A HILL. I HAD THE CAR IN DRIVE WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. THERE WERE CARS IN FRONT OF & BEHIND ME. WHEN IT WAS TIME TO MOVE FORWARD, I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE AND STARTED MOVING IT TO THE GAS PETAL WHEN I NOTICED THE CAR WAS ROLLING BACKWARDS. I PUT MY FOOT BACK ON THE BRAKE AND QUICKLY MOVED IT TO THE GAS PETAL AND WAS ABLE TO MOVE FORWARD BEFORE BUMPING THE CAR BEHIND ME. I REPEATED THE ACTION ON OUR DRIVEWAY, WHICH ALSO HAS A SLOPE. AGAIN, IT ROLLED BACKWARDS. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, THEY DROVE IT AND SAID IT DID ROLL BACKWARDS BUT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT - THAT WAS NORMAL OPERATION. THEY DROVE ANOTHER EDGE AND SAID IT DID THE SAME THING. I TOLD THEM IT SHOULDN'T DO THAT - IT WAS UNSAFE, AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT IT. *TR
