2008 Ford Edge Wheels Problems

“I was driving down the road and the truck lost all power. The only choice I had was to steer the wheel to a safe position on the side of the road. When the happened the doors were locked windows were closed shut I was almost unable to get of the truck safely. Also I was driving down the road after get a new set of tires and the truck began to make a scrubbing sound as if the wheels was grinding against something nothing was there. …”

Finally, they did more checking and told me about the recall and that I needed to take to the Ford dealership to get it fixed. …”

I have been hearing loud growling noises from the rear wheels in the past month (oct 2014) also the steering seemed to be effected by the problem.

After hearing this I looked up other complaints from other Ford EDGE owners. This is not an isolated incident and most of the failures have occurred around the 55000 - 64000 miles. …”
