“The front seat head rests of my 2008 Ford EDGE has an angle that stretches my neck forward in an uncomfortable angle. I get severe neck pain if the back of my seat is up to support my lumbar region. If I lower the back to keep the head rest from jutting my neck forward, my lumbar region is not supported and I get back pain. So, quite often I end up with the seat forward to support my lower back and I sit at an angle to the right or left with my head to the side of the head rest and arms resting on the arm rests. So I drive at an angle in the seat with an s in my back. …”
NHTSA complaint #10279314, filed 2009-08, 25,500 miles“2008 Ford EDGE. Speed, about 25-30 MPH in heavy traffic. 2008 Ford EDGE was struck from behind by a truck and pushed into the car in front. 1) no air bags deployed; 2) the back of the driver's seat (electriclly controlled seat) let go on impact, leaving the driver lying on an essentially flat seat. The car was totaled by the insurance company. ** why did the seat let go; ** why didn't the front air bag deploy. Injuries were minor: concussion. *** this is the correct VIN # - your form will not accept the VIN.”
NHTSA complaint #10290852, filed 2009-11, 18,050 miles“To ladies and gentlemen my 2008 Ford EDGE se front drive the foam is not holding to the seat frame any more just come off see no way of fixing it and if it causes harm to me and or some one else in a crash that's out of my control there will be a law suit sorry to say once you see the seat you'll no, other wise the truck is very nice but wont buy another because of this quality problem ! This is a safety concern along with air bags combine together so one effects the other in a crash and sure would like to hear from Ford before they have to hear from me. Thanks to who this may concern..”
