2008 Ford Edge other reported problems

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

On November 2, 2021, I purchased a 2008 Ford Edge, Stock #: 12256. Upon reviewing the vehicle’s history recently, I discovered that it had been previously involved in an accident—a fact that was not disclosed to me at the time of sale. Moreover, it has become evident that the odometer was tampered with, and the mileage was misrepresented. These facts constitute material misrepresentation and odometer fraud under both state and federal law. According to the Carfax report, which was not provided to me at the time of sale, the mileage history for the vehicle is as follows: 192,195 miles recorded in 2020 164,208 miles recorded in 2021 161,269 miles recorded in 2022 163,087 miles at the time of purchase in 2021 This inconsistent and decreasing mileage history indicates that the odometer was rolled back. In addition, the emissions documentation lists testing in December, even though I took ownership of the vehicle in early November. Since the date of purchase, I have been unable to register the vehicle or obtain a passing emissions certificate. Had I been made aware of the vehicle’s true condition and mileage history, I would not have completed the purchase. The failure to disclose this information and the apparent falsification of documents constitute fraudulent misrepresentation and a violation of applicable consumer protection laws. I am requesting a full refund from this company because I don't trust that they will make me "whole" in the process.

The locked door emblem sporadically comes on and stays on. It makes my interior lights stay on. It runs my battery down. The back passenger side door was opened by a rider and the lock all doors button had been engaged. The red light was on to show doors were not locked. This has been an ongoing issue for several months now. I have an appointment at Ford garage 09/13/22.

There seems to be exhaust leaking into my vehicle. It isn’t a constant issue, but a frequent issue. At times I get an overwhelming exhaust smell inside of my car forcing me to roll all the windows down. It started over the last few months. There have not been any inspections on the vehicle since the issue has begun. The only odd light that come on in my vehicle is the oil light randomly clicks on and off at times, but I don’t know if that is related to the issue.

VEHICLE STALLED WHILE REVERSING INTO A PARKING SPOT. BARELY STARTED. STALLED A FEW SECONDS LATER AFTER COMPLETING THE REVERSE INTO PARKING SPOT. BARELY STARTED AGAIN. GOT ON THE ROAD AND DRIVING FINE A FEW HUNDRED FEET, VEHICLE STALLED ALMOST RAN INTO A GROUP OF PARKED VEHICLES. BARELY STARTED AGAIN. MADE IT TO THE HIGHWAY TO GO HOME AND WHILE DRIVING AT JUST UNDER 55MPH LIMIT VEHICLE STALLS IN THE PASSING LANE. ALMOST CAUSED A WRECK WITH SEVERAL VEHICLES INCLUDING A SEMI. DIDN'T START FOR A FEW MINUTES. VEHICLE STUTTERED TO START AND BARELY TURNED OVER. AFTER IT STARTED I SAT THERE AND WATCHED THE TACHOMETER, IT WOULD, WITHOUT MYSELF TOUCHING OR DOING ANYTHING, IDLE THEN JUMP A LITTLE AND DIP A LITTLE OVER AND OVER. THERE SEEMS TO BE NO CERTAIN SITUATION OR REASONING FOR WHEN, WHERE OR WHY IT WOULD STALL, COMPLETE RANDOMNESS! HIGHWAY DRIVING, SLOW STOP AND GO CITY DRIVING, REVERSING, IT SEEMS TO DO IT COMPLETELY RANDOMLY AND UNEXPECTEDLY BUT ALWAYS WHILE MOVING ONE DIRECTION OR THE OTHER. STRAIGHT LINE, TURNING, FAST, SLOW, DIDN'T MAKE A DIFFERENCE. FINALLY WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY, CAME INTO TOWN AND I WAS ABLE TO STOP AT ALL THE LIGHTS AND GO BUT THEN OUT OF NO WHERE AGAIN DOING CLOSE TO THE 35MPH LIMIT IT STALLS AGAIN AND THIS TIME I WAS AT A 6 WAY INTERSECTION AND ALMOST HIT ANOTHER MOVING VEHICLE. MY FAMILY WILL NOT BE RIDING IN THIS VEHICLE AGAIN UNTIL SOMETHING IS DONE! THIS IS NOT NORMAL OR SAFE! NOT FOR ME OR ANYONE ELSE ON THE ROADWAY! I HAVE NO CLUE AS TO WHAT THE ISSUE COULD BE EXCEPT THAT IT'S THE MANUFACTURERS ISSUE. IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SINCE. VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN WRECKED, ABOVE AVERAGE MAINTENANCE INTERVALS, COMPLETELY MAINTAINED BUT THIS IS SOMETHING MORE THAN REGULAR 'WEAR AND TEAR' AS ONE WOULD SAY. NOT SAFE AT ALL!! COULD HAVE KILLED MYSELF, MY FAMILY OR SOMEONE ELSE WITH THIS PROBLEM!! NEEDS ATTENTION ASAP! EXTREMELY UNSAFE!

MY SUV LUNGES FORWARD WHILE IN MOTION IT HAS JUST CUT OFF WHILE IN MOTION WITH NO WARNING. I WAS ON MY CITY STREET AND THE VEHICLE JUST CUT OFF AND I HAD TO TURN THE KEY OVER TO RESTART IT. THEN IT HAS STARTED LUNGING WHILE I AM DRIVING IT. WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE IN DEC. 2017 & WHEN WE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE LUNGING, THE DEALER TOOK IT IN & SAID THAT IT NEEDED A TUNE-UP. WE PAID $300 ABOUT 5 MONTHS AGO AND GOT A TUNEUP AND IT HAS STARTED TO LUNGE AGAIN. IT OCCURS WHILE I AM DRIVING, SOMETIMES ON THE HIGHWAY AND ALSO IN REGULAR CITY TRAFFIC AT ABOUT 35 MPH. RECENTLY IT STARTED CUTTING OFF RANDOMLY. I AM CALLING TO REPORT IF TO FORD & WHERE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE TOMORROW. THE CUTTING OFF HAS HAPPENED TWICE. ONCE IN DEC. AND THEN TODAY, FEB. 3, 2019.

SEVERAL TIMES NOW, MY CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE GOING 40, 60, 70MPH ON THE HWY. I HAVE HAD TO INSTANTLY PUT HAZARDS ON AND TRY TO PULL OVER WHICH ISN'T ALWAYS EASY DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, I PULL OFF, AND THEN MY CAR LURCHES FORWARD AND SHIFTS GEARS AND THEN CAN ACCELERATE. THIS HAS ALSO HAPPENED WHEN I HAVE BEEN AT A COMPLETE STOP, AND TRIED TO ACCELERATE. WHEN YOU CANNOT MOVE FORWARD, OR CRAWL AT SPEEDS UNDER 5MPH, BUT YOUR RPMS ARE REACHING 7, THERE IS SOMETHING SERIOUSLY WRONG. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN A FEW TIMES ONLY TO BE TOLD THEY CANNOT FIND OR RECREATE THE ISSUES, SO THEY SEND ME ON MY WAY. IT SOUNDS AS IF MANY OTHERS ARE HAVING THE EXACT SAME ISSUES. I AM VERY NERVOUS THAT MY LUCK IN PULLING OFF OUT OF HARMS WAY WILL RUN OUT. I HAVE CALLED MY DEALERSHIP TO ONCE AGAIN HAVE IT LOOKED AT BUT THEY CANNOT GET ME IN FOR 10 DAYS.... SHOULD I EVEN DRIVE THIS CAR IF IT IS NOT RELIABLE?? I TRULY AM FRIGHTENED TO DRIVE NOW, AND THIS IS MY ONLY CAR AND AM A SINGLE MOTHER. NOT SURE WHAT I AM SUPPOSED TO DO. I REALLY HOPE THAT FORD RECALLS THIS, AS I HAVE READ THAT THERE ARE SEVERAL LAWSUITS PENDING THIS EXACT ISSUE.

THE NHTSA SAYS VEHICLES ARE BEING PRIORITIZED BASED ON THE LIKELIHOOD OF DANGER. FACTORS INCLUDE THE AGE OF YOUR CAR AND WHERE YOU LIVE. THIS IS DUE TO THE FACT THAT THERE'S A LINK BETWEEN MALFUNCTIONING AIR BAGS AND LONG-TERM EXPOSURE TO HEAT AND HIGH HUMIDITY. I AM IN ZONE B BUT I AM A 5 MINUTE DRIVE FROM SOUTH CAROLINA. SO MY QUESTION IS DOES THAT MEAN BECAUSE I AM 5 MILES FROM SOUTH CAROLINA, IS MY FAULTY AIRBAG SAFER THAN THE VEHICLES WITH THE FAULTY TAKATA AIRBAGS IN SC, ZONE A ? I FIRST RECEIVED NOTICE JULY, 2016. NOW FORD HAS RENTED ME A VEHICLE (SARDINE CAN) BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW WHEN REPLACEMENT PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE. THE FACT THAT THEY KNEW LONG BEFORE THIS VEHICLE WAS AVAILABLE FOR SALE THAT THE AIRBAGS WERE UNSAFE, IS TANTAMOUNT TO CRIMINAL NEGLIGENCE. IF THEY AREN'T CALLED TO TASK THEY WILL CONTINUE ENDANGERING LIVES IN ORDER TO INCREASE THE VALUE OF THEIR STOCK. MADE IN AMERICA USED TO MEAN SOMETHING, NOT ANYMORE. AT APPROXIMATELY 20,000 PUTTING THE CAR IN DRIVE OR REVERSE IT MAKES SOME CLUNKING NOISE AND HESITATES BEFORE IT ENGAGES. ON AN INCLINE THE CAR ROLLS BACK AND YOU HAVE TO WORK GAS AND BRAKE TOGETHER, THIS IS A AUTOMATIC, NOT A STICK SHIFT. AT 71 I DO NOT APPRECIATE THAT FORD HAS BEEN PLAYING RUSSIAN ROULETTE WITH THE LIVES OF MY MOM, DAUGHTER, GRANDDAUGHTERS & GREAT GRANDCHILDREN, THIS VEHICLE HASN'T BEEN SAFE FROM THE DAY IT ROLLED OFF THE ASSEMBLY LINE.

I MADE A TURN OFF INTERSTATE INTO A BUSY ROAD, MY VEHICLE JERKED AND LOST ITS ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. LEAVING ME IN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WITH CARS FLYING AROUND ME TO AVOID HITTING ME. I MANAGED TO MAKE IT INTO A PARKING LOT. I HAD A FRIEND CHECK THE VEHICLE AND WITH THE HOOD UP HE HAD ME PUT IN REVERSE AND IT LOOKED LIKE THE MOTOR WAS GOING TO JUMP OUT OF THE VEHICLE, SAME HAPPENED IN DRIVE. HE PUT HIS COMPUTER ON AND A CODE FOR THE DRIVE SPEED SENSOR WAS PRESENT. THE CODE WAS CLEARED AND THEN NOTICED THE SPEED AND RPM GAUGES WERE INACCURATE. THIS HAPPENS ON OCCASION. UPON RESEARCH I SEE THIS SENSOR HAS A RECALL ON IT BUT NOT FOR MY YEAR 08 EDGE. PLEASE RECALL ASAP. THIS CAN CAUSE SOME SERIOUSLY BAD ACCIDENT WHEN YOUR VEHICLE LOOSES ITS ABILITY TO ACCELERATE WHEN IN TRAFFIC. I FEAR THIS WILL HAPPEN AND MY LIFE IS IN THE LINE. FORD IS AWARE THERE IS A APPARENT PROBLEM NOTED BY OTHER YEAR MAKE MODEL RECALLS.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 70 MPR AND MY 08 FORD EDGE MADE A NOISE THE ODOMETER WENT TO ZERO AND WENT FROM 70 MPR ON THE HIGHWAY TO 0 IT WOULD NOT GO. I'M SO THANKFUL MY KIDS WEREN'T IN THE CAR AND I WAS ABLE TO GO OFF THE EXIT RAMP BEFORE IT COMPLETELY STOPPED. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES ALL ON THE HIGHWAY BEFORE OR AFTER WORK. EACH THE TIME CAR WAS TOLLED FROM WORK OR WHERE IT STOPPED RUNNING. TAKEN TO SHOPS TO SEE WHAT'S WRONG THEY CAN FIND ANYTHING. THE LAST EPISODE HAPPENED MOTHERS DAY THE CAR WAS TOLLED TO A FORD DEALERSHIP THEY HAD THE CAR FOR 1 WEEK AND COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING THEY TOLD ME TO TRADE IF OFF ITS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE... SO I'M COMPLETELY BAFFLED WHY A DEALERSHIP WOULD TELL ME TO TRADE THE CAR SO SOMEONE ELSE COULD POSSIBLY GET SERIOUSLY INJURED OR DIE. I COULD NOT TO DO IT. THE CAR IS NOW NOT COMING ON WITHOUT A JUMP AND HAS NOT BE DRIVEABLE SINCE MOTHERS DAY 2017 WHEN IT DID ALL THE ABOVE AGAIN. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE OCTOBER 2015 A YEAR AFTER GETTING IT. WE HAVE ALL THE DOCUMENTATIONS AND RECEIPTS OF PAYING LOTS OF MONEY OUT OF POCKET. NOT ONE PERSON EVER TOLD ME TO CHECK ON THIS SITE FOR SAFETY ISSUES EVEN KNOWING THE CAR STOPS ON THE HIGHWAY AT ANY GIVEN MOMENTS AND UNRELIABLE OR FAULTY UNTIL I CALLED OUT AUTO INSURANCE TODAY AND WE SEEN ALL OF THIS!! WHAT A MESS I HAVE CONTACTED A CLASS ACTION CASE AS OF TODAY!
