2011 Ford Edge Wheels Problems

“Both my wife and I noticed that there were loud noises coming from the rear end of the vehicle...growling noises which became noticeable around 30 MPH. As the speed increased, the noise level did as well. I was told by a Ford mechanic that the rear wheel bearings needed to be replaced (after only approx. 32k miles!). I replaced both rear wheel bearings and the noise diminished but did not totally go away. It still varies with speed. When it's raining, the noise diminishes. When it's cold ( freezing or lower) the noise diminishes. …”

“My passenger side wheels hit a snow hidden pot hole and scratched both wheel covers. When I went to my Ford dealer to purchase two new wheel covers I was told that they were not covers (hub caps) at all, rather they were chrome foil covered plastic bonded to the wheel rim. One can no longer simply replace a $25 - $50 wheel-cover (hub cap) to keep a Ford vehicle looking new. You have to purchase the entire wheel. The replacement cost is $860 plus remounting costs; about $1000 for each wheel. I left the dealership feeling cheated! …”

“I was riding down the street at a normal speed, all of a sudden I heard a loud sound. The car started driving really funny. I pulled over on a side street to see if I hit something,. Nothing was in the road, I then looked at the car.this is when I noticed my tires on my passengers side had blown out. I had 2 flat tires. I don't know what happened. I only had the car for 2 months. The tread on the tire was still good, the road was ok, a little rough but I didn't see any need for 2 flats. The steering also makes a loud noise when I turn it to the right and to the left. …”

“When depressing brakes while pulling into parking space, brakes became extremely stiff and had to stand on them to stop barely missing car parked in space to my front, also when coming to a stop at a stop light car was very difficult to get slowed down to a stop. Called local service tech and described issue and was told brake booster would need to be replaced and unfortunately it is on backorder.”

“About 3 months when I got the vehicle I had to take it to El Cajon Ford because the brakes suddenly stopped working properly and I had to nearly push the pedal to the floor to stop. It suddenly lost the pressure needed to properly stop. The vehicle was still under warranty at that time. That was about over 4 years ago. Now I find that the same problem has arose again. I took it took it to a auto repair shop to find the part I need is back ordered. …”
