I had the lift gate open loading groceries and it all of a sudden released and came down and striking my head and neck and I quickly pushed it back up and it just dropped down again before I could get myself clear striking me again, it got my neck and shoulder. I took it to dealership and was first was told it was a problem for the body shop, but they quickly determined it was an electrical problem. The lift gate is very heavy and I do have to see a doctor for the persistent pain in the neck and shoulder.

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 ford edge. While driving approximately 40 MPH, the contact heard a clattering noise emitting from the vehicle. The contact also noticed hot water coming from the vehicle. The contact lifted the hood and observed that the vehicle's water pump had burst, which caused water to leak into the engine. A certified mechanic diagnosed that the water pump failed and caused the engine to fail as well. The water pump, timing chain, tensioners, phasers, and several other unidentified parts needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The contact called white ford lincoln (located at 4120 front st, winnsboro, la 71295; 888‑303‑4692) and was informed that the water pump entered the engine, which caused failures to occur, and that they would have to contact the corporate office. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and opened case number: cas13013218. The approximate failure mileage was 84,000.
