Airbags did not deploy in a crash by model year
What owners say
I was driving my 2010 edge in stop and go traffic. The cars in front of me stoped suddenly so I slammed on my brakes. My brake pedal went all the way to the floor without stopping my vehicle. ( all of this is happening in seconds traveling about two to three car lengths)I released my foot and the brake pedal returned to a normal position. I pressed the brakes again and the pedal traveled all the way to the floorboard again without stopping my vehicle. I released pressure again and this time the pedal shot back hitting my foot with such force that it caused a lisfranc dislocation and severe bone bruising to my right foot. (I lost my job and will be unable to work for at least six months, if I am able to regain full function due to this accident .)through the pain I depressed the brakes a third time and they went to the floor again, not stopping my vehicle and resulting in my vehicle crashing into the vehicle in front of me at a relatively slow speed. The airbags did not deploy.
I have called the albany, georgia ford dealership and they still do not have any parts. We have been waiting over a year. We also tried to get a car to replace the edge until the parts came in and they said they could not help us. My daughter attends the university of georgia so we tried the athens, georgia ford dealership and got no response. My daughter did have a front end collison several years ago and the airbags never deployed.
I I bought a 2008 ford edge several years ago. I totaled it but the air bags never deployed. I then bought a 2010 ford edge in 2016 and I bought it not knowing about the recalls. I he been in a reantal all summer and they ford dealership in ladoga said the parts are in for the recall. I'm not it's not in the system anywhere and now I had to take it to another dealership because my hubs are messed up and my car died from parking it in the sun. I need to know what's going on. I have children and just want to be safe since ladoga sent me away saying my car was okay and didn't have any problems.bur now ford wants 2,590 - 3,000 I'm with out a rental no one would provide me and the children one it's been several weeks now
