“I contacted the NHTSA in may of 2009 because Ford motor company refused to honor my warranty and give my a car that was drivable. I purchased a brand new Ford EDGE with 45 miles. The dealer told me to hit the road after three service request, to repair my car delivered with a bad frame. I have been forced to drive this car for almost one year now with no help from anywhere. I complained at least four times to NHTSA about my steering, suspension and my brakes failing. Toyota owners get help, but not americans. …”
NHTSA complaint #10308667, filed 2010-02, 45 miles“Within the last year I have replaced the right and left inner and outer tie rods, bought 4 new tires, maintained alignment and shortly after replaced the power steering hose and the driveshaft. Knowing I maintain my vehicle well, I drove myself and 4 friends 900 miles and the power steering fluid began leaking again. Mechanic tells me the rack and pinion needs replaced.I can hardly believe all this is wear and tear but it certainly caused a safety concern for me and my passengers. Now, another $2000”
NHTSA complaint #11675369, filed 2025-07“I have only had EDGE since 2017 and I purchased it out right and I am noticing some things that are not right. Hard to stop and wobbling wheel on front driver side and makes like a rubbing noise. Brakes on it our wearing out alot faster and I have already had a blowout on highway on that tire and they had to tow it and it cost me almost $500 to get it out and its tread is getting worn down alot faster as well. I seen on here that there is a spindle issue?”
NHTSA complaint #11209784, filed 2019-05“First when is the recall going to happen. How much longer does this safety hazard have to exist. It could kill me and everyone in the vehicle but yet nothing has been done. Driver side airbag. Your steering is a job. The power steering pump is horrid - bad bad.”
