Complaint Filed Tuesday 18:14 hrs 12/06/2022. On 12/02/2022 I had a diagnosis at Marcotte Ford Holyoke, MA done my vehicle because it failed Massachusetts emissions CEL. Diagnose came back with the same description as the damaged fuel system and suspension which RECALLS, which should have been fixed before I registered the vehicle on 11/22/2022. I fear for my safety of fuel leak and suspension crash. I would hate to think a reputable Ford dealer would jeopardize my safety for a few extra dollars for holiday spending. I have found a different repairman for the faulty brake power booster & Mass Air Flow Sensor the A & Z Autos dealer /A & Z Auto Repair placed in my vehicle. Ms. Sharon-Shawn A. Bell

My 2010 edge is dealing with the engine light, a wrench, and traction control lights all coming on and off whenever it feels like (in park or in any driving condition). When these lights come on I pretty much lose the ability to break on my own, it resists and grinds when breaking with the lights on. The lights can come and go for days at a time or for only a few miles. Also, the vehicle hesitates on take off when these lights are on. Code reader doesn't really tell us anything useful. If codes are cleared it eventually will come back on and continue having the same issues. This seems to be a common problem by what I'm finding, ford should be responsible to fix this wiring/electrical issue. Another thing, the seatbelt light and alarm will not stop going off, even if you are in park for a while. I just bought this vehicle and I am far from impressed.

While driving down the highway, my heater started blowing cold air and within 5-10 minutes my gas pedal would no longer accelerate. 1-2 minutes after my gas pedal would no longer accelerate, my engine light came on. Thankfully this happened as I was approaching an exit and I was able to exit the highway before my car overheated and completely shut off. My car overheated 1-2 minutes after my engine light came on. There were no signs of any problems on my car before this all happened. It was very sudden. I was about 1.5 hours away from home and had to have my car towed. A mechanic looked at it and said the coolant is completely draining out. They use an entire gallon of coolant and it poured out of my car immediately, in under a minute. As of right now, I have to replace the water pump on my car. However, in order to replace the water pump, the mechanic said they have to completely remove my front engine in order to access the water pump. This will call for at least 12 hours of labor, raising cost of what should have been around $200 for a new water pump to between $1700-$2100. If the mechanics find that the coolant has indeed mixed with my engine oil and ruined my engine, then I will have to completely replace my engine, raising the cost further to $7k+. According to kelley blue book, if I end up having to replace the engine, this will cost about 2-3 times what my car is worth.

The water pump is located inside the engine failed without warning, it circulated anti-freeze through the engine distroying it. This happened within the span of 5 minutes with no symptoms, other than a loss of all engine power at hiway speed. No warning or engine lights came on. Frankly other than the loss of engine power there were no indications the engine had failed. There was a terrible noise as I found my way to a safe spot to stop the car and it was only during this time that the temprature in the engine started to rise. I believe this is the most basic kind of irresponsibility where as ford has designed a vehicle with a know defect and failed to notify its unsuspecting owners. It is also my belief that ford should be resposible for pay 100% of any and all repairs to make an owner whole. At this point I have no pictures, other than an engine that looks fully intact, with an oil dipstick that is a milky desert sand color.

Today, my wife brought her 2010 ford edge in for the 3rd time in a matter of 3 weeks, to the local dealership. The problem is while she is driving, the check engine light will come on and the engine will stall leaving her stranded in the middle of traffic, after a minute she can restart it but it happens shortly after that. They had replaced a sensor on the last visit but yet again today the light came back on and it stalled several times before she could get it home. This places my wife and others in traffic with her in danger as when the car stalls there is no way to warn other drivers and could cause an accident. I do not believe the dealership has any clue as to what is going on with this vehicle. I have done some research online using google and have found there are many others out there who seem to have had the same problem and no one seems to have a definite reason as to why.
