ONGOING TRANSMISSION ISSUES SINCE PURCHASED NEW. BEEN TO REPAIR FOR MORE THAN 17 DAYS AND ISSUES STILL REMAIN UNRESOLVED. TOOK CAR IN FOR REGULAR SCHEDULED OIL CHANGES AND REPAIRS.AT APPROXIMATELY 30,000 MILES THE CAMPHASERS ( FORD ADMITTED WRONG CAMPHASERS HAD BEEN INSTALLED) WERE REPLACED. COOLANT PROBLEM DISCOVERED AS WELL WHEN VEHICLE ENGINE WAS REMOVED. ODD ODOR COMING FROM HEATER, WHEN VEHICLE RETURNED AFTER CAMPHASER AND COOLANT ISSUE DID NOT RESOLVE SITUATION, AND VEHICLE RETURNED TO GALPIN FORD SERVICE, WAS TOLD THAT AXLE AND BEARING WERE BROKEN AND THAT THE STEERING WHEEL WAS NOT IN PROPER POSITION. I AM DEEPLY CONCERNED FOR OTHER FORD EDGE OWNERS AS WELL AS MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC WHO MAY BE AFFECTED BY VEHICLE THAT DOES NOT PROPERLY ENGAGE AND APPEARS TO STALL BEFORE MOVING FORWARD.... THIS IS AN ENORMOUSLY SERIOUS ISSUE, THAT SHOULD NOT BE IGNORED. READING THE PRIOR COMPLAINTS, TELLS ME THIS IS NOT A NEW PROBLEM, AND THAT CONSUMERS AND FORD ARE AWARE OF THE TRANSMISSIONS ISSUES. PLEASE ASSIST. *TR
