There has been a recall on the airbags. I have been calling for three months trying to get the airbags done and inspected. I have called four different dealerships and they are all giving me a hard time saying that they do not have the parts in stock and that it could "take months" to get the airbag ordered and in if they are even willing to do this. One mechanic told me that it was not that big of a deal. I do not feel safe like this and I want the airbag replaced. I am going around in circled with this and Ford will not help me. I have called Ford corprate to no avail. I am very upset about this and am asking that they fix this problem. The tire keeps going flat as well due to a defect with their rims/tires. There was also an issue where the engine can catch fire however, the people from Ford do not seem to care. They do not have to drive this car, I do and I need to feel safe. …

Fuel & propulsion system all 141 →
P0301 misfire in the engine and P0201 fuel injecter both should be recalled on all 2007 Ford edges as me and another lady both wrecked hitting a small poles and the business owners was nice and said to make it home safely since there was no damage. I have done plenty of research and Ford is refusing to do any recalls on the spark plugs in the engine and the fuel injecter. Please recalls those so no one gets seriously hurt from it.
I was dropping off my fianc e to her doctor appointment and while driving to park the car started to smoke profusely. I was unable to tell at first, but I quickly realized that there was a flame spouting from between the front windshield and underneath the hood of the car. I jumped out of the car and grabbed both my [redacted] and [redacted] out of the car and immediately started running towards the office. We weren't even a full 7ft away before the car was fully engulfed by the flames. The fire department came to put it out and it was towed away by our local trucking company where it's currently being held. There were no warning lights before this.
