NHTSA Complaint #11389143 — 2018 FORD EDGE

MY 2018 EDGE WITH ECOBOOST HAS LESS THAN 62K MILES. NOTICED A RATTLING NOISE WHEN I WAS IDLED OR NOT ACCELERATING. NOISE GOT LOUDER AND WORSE, SEEMED TO HAVE ISSUES CHANGING GEARS, BEGAN SOUNDING LIKE A DIESEL WHEN I WAS IDLE. TOOK IT IN FOR DIAGNOSTICS TODAY AND NOTICED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON TODAY. RESULTS CAME BACK WITH RANDOM MISFIRE CODE. TURNS OUT THERE IS A CRACK IN THE FLYWHEEL...WHICH FROM WHAT I CAN TELL BY RESEARCH IS DUE TO MANUFACTURER ISSUES WITH THE TORQUE CONVERTER. WHY IS THERE NO RECALL FOR THIS? IT IS DANGEROUS AND THE CAR IS NOT OLD OR WORN OUT ENOUGH TO HAVE THESE KIND OF ISSUES. COST TO CORRECT IS ASTRONOMICAL. PLEASE HELP RAISE AWARENESS AND GET THE HELP CONSUMERS DESERVE.
