NHTSA Complaint #11152310 — 2007 FORD EDGE

WE HAVE HAD 2 FORD EDGES IN 3 YEARS BOTH HAVING THE SAME ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. OUR FIRST EDGE WAS A 2008, WE HAD IT LESS THAN A YEAR WHEN EVERYTHING WENT WRONG. WHEN IT WOULD RAIN ALL THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS WOULD STOP WORKING, THE SPEEDOMETER WOULDN'T WORK, WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 80MPH IT WOULD JUST SUDDENLY QUIT WITHOUT WARNING, IT STARTED HESITATING, DRIVING ROUGH & LOSS ACCELERATION. WHEN WE TOOK IT IN TO GET IT REPAIRED WE WERE TOLD IT WAS IN THE ELECTRICAL/COMPUTER SYSTEM AND WOULD COST AT LEAST $2,000.00 TO FIX AND THEY SAID EVEN ONCE THAT WAS FIXED THEY COULDN'T GUARANTEE THERE WOULDN'T BE MORE WRONG WITH IT SO WE'D BE BETTER OFF TO GET RID OF IT. THEN WE BOUGHT OUR 2007 EDGE THAT WE'VE HAD JUST 2 YEARS AND THE #5 COIL HAD MELTED NEEDED REPLACE BUT AFTER REPLACED IT STILL WAS RUNNING ROUGH, HESITATING NOT ANY BETTER. WE WERE TOLD WE HAD TO TAKE IT TO A FORD DEALER. WE WERE THEN TOLD IT WAS IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM & WOULD COST AT LEAST $2,000.00 IF WE GOT LUCKY AND THE PROBLEM WOULD BE ACTUALLY FIXED. WE DON'T HAVE ANYWHERE NEAR THE MONEY TO GET IT FIXED, WE SPENT ALL OUR MONEY BUYING OUR SECOND EDGE AFTER OUR FIRST ONE WENT TO HELL. THERE REALLY, REALLY NEEDS TO BE A RECALL! SOMETHING IS REALLY SCREWED UP WHEN YOU BUY 2 FORD EDGES WITHIN 3 YEARS AND THEY BOTH HAVE THE SAME THING WRONG WITH THEM! IT'S RIDICULOUS AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE NOW!!
