I was driving down the road and the truck lost all power. The only choice I had was to steer the wheel to a safe position on the side of the road. When the happened the doors were locked windows were closed shut I was almost unable to get of the truck safely. Also I was driving down the road after get a new set of tires and the truck began to make a scrubbing sound as if the wheels was grinding against something nothing was there. I remember a recall on the wheel hub and I have had the truck for about 2 years and I don't recall getting the problem repaired but my VIN returns back no active recalls and I can not help but wonder if there is an error.

Well this is been recalled. On other 2008 ford. Edge but I think my 2008 ford edge should be in that recall I recently bought my edge from a used dealer all the safety issues and recalls my ford edge has my has all of the issues my ford edge went in for tire rotation and oil change when they returned my car I left the shop and then realized the front tire is vibrating when driven slowly and turns I called ford to ask if my car was one of the ones on the recall list for bearing recall and the said no I know this was not an issue till now and im afraid to drive my car due to this recall I feel my car should be included also of course the tranny is definitely not working correctly when also driving slowly it jerks terribly in to another gear. Serval times I have avoided car accidents by having to brake abruptly cause the car to get stuck in that gear and me having to suddenly forcing the car to pull over to side of busy 5 o clck traffic and turn off car and restart it to engage the gears to the next one I have backed into my fence do to this sudden jerking without warning and have damaged my back bumper due to this issue and that my car is not been recall due to these issues. First time I buy american and first-time I hate my car now im stuck making payment on a car that has so many issues and un able to drive safely I making payment for the next 17 months for a car I cant drive and I will never buy american again also the brakes a grinding and squeeling and since I have ABS brakes system shouldnt the warning light be warning me before they actually start sounding like grinding to pieces of metal together I feel my car should be one of the one that should get recalled for issues other cars have been recalled for the same issues and this started since 6/16 /2018 and has been everyday since and im also still waiting to get the air bag recall fixed its been over a year

I am having an issue with my wheel bearing and there is a recall 270760 and my VIN # was not on the list. My car was running perfectly fine and then when I got new tires, they told me that my wheel bearings were weak. In the beginning, before I got my tires, the car started vibrating and grinding. When I took it to the auto repair to look at it, they told me that it may be the tires, which I did needed to replace. So I did. The sound did not go away. Finally, they did more checking and told me about the recall and that I needed to take to the ford dealership to get it fixed. I called the ford dealership and they refused to do the work.

While preparing to stop at a light, seemed to have lost all power. Speedometer dropped to zero, airbag light came on and odometer was blank with a readout in its place that said something like odo failure also the wrench icon lit up. Shifted to park and the car jumped and jerked and loud grinding noises came from transmission. Was able to creep to a side street. Turned off engine . Waited several minutes , restarted car and the instrument panel returned to normal. Drove home about 3 miles. Took it to shop and they said it was a shaft seal. They replaced it for $182.00 the part was $12. Got home and it leaks very badly it has leaked about a cup of fluid in 4 hours.(this was parked / not running) I am taking it back to the shop and hoping they can fix it right. I have been driving for over 30 years and never had this kind of problem.

After nearly 6 years I thought I would change the brakes.wife was hearing a grinding noise. I thought we were we'll overdo on them anyways. When I went to change them I was inspecting them and found the passenger side pads were barely worn they looked almost new. The driver side outer pad looked the same practically new the inner pad on the drivers side was worn down to about 1/16 to the end of the pad I feel this warrants some kind of action on behalf of ford thanks.

Noise coming from the right, rear wheel area at various speeds. Sounds like a light rumble strip sound and a light squealing/grinding also. Took it to a local mechanic who says the bearings are bad. Ford needs to do something about this issue. It's seems to be an existing problem on these edges and recurring problems as well.

During the month of july 2013, our 2008 ford edge would make a grinding noise at about 40 MPH. The car had been serviced by a ford dealership in june 2013. Prior to the service, my wife had been complaining about the noise so I decided to replace the rear brakes pads. The brake pads were only maybe 20 % worn but I went ahead and replaced them anyway. My wife had made similar complaints in the past which prompted me to check and replace the front brakes a few years ago. In july 2013 the noise persisted so we took the car to the ford dealership to check the problem. The ford mechanic determined that the front wheel bearings were failing. Apparently, there is a flaw in design or workmanship that is allowing water to enter the bearing housing and to corrode the bearing inner and outer race. So, there would have been the potential for the bearings to over heat and lockup the wheels. The ford customer service and the dealership refused to extend the warranty given the time required for the bearings to corrode under these conditions. I requested the old parts after the repair and there is obvious corrosion on the ball bearings, the bearing race, and in the grease. There are other ford customers experiencing the same problem. The noise gets progressively worse over time that eventually you can hear it over the radio and conversations in the car.
