What 2010 Ford Edge owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
I took my 2010 ford edge to have a air bag recall repaired. The air bag was fixed, the air bag light cleared. I drove about 3 miles home and the light reappeared, I checked the code and it was B2293-03 air bag fault. My wife called right away and told them the light came on and the car can't be inspected until it's clear. They told my wife it would be $200 to take a look at a repair they literally just took their hands off of. All I want is this safety feature fixed right without the $200 fee which is crazy when I just picked it up.
Vehicle is in St Thomas, United States Virgin Islands. Vehicle has two recalls for airbags due. Our local Ford dealership (Metro Motors) states they do not perform safety recalls on vehicles.

This in regards to my 2010 ford edge vehicle, and the air bags recall of july 2016. The first notice of this recall came to me 7/01/2016. I filed complaint #11192472 in 2019 after repeated attempts to find out from the local ford dealer the status of ford having the necessary equipment for the repair/replacement for this recall. They had not heard from ford at that last contact in march 2019 regarding the needed parts. I have not contacted the local ford dealer since, as they could not get any information about if and when ford would have the parts available to the dealers to make the necessary replacement. When will this issue be addressed with ford motor company, and how soon will it be when the replacement parts and repairs will be sent out to local dealerships for the required service? It has been 5 years since the original notice.
Door ajar light continually went on and off while in motion whether on a highway or city street. Noticed it also went on during left turns. Door locks on all doors would click on and off at stops. I wasn't sure that doors were locked with my children in the car. Internal lights would also go on an off. Common issue on the internet with ford edges. It's all over and for years. I have young children and had to get the issue fixed at a cost of $542.83. I believe ford needs to pay for this safety issue. The part number to replace was the latch part number 8t4z 78264a27 a. So a new door latch needed to be installed along with the repair of a wire in the door harness near the lh side of the door speaker. I am the original owner of this vehicle.
