| Sep 2021 | STRUCTURE | The contact owns a 2019 Ford Edge. The contact stated that the trunk door inadvertently closed on the driver and was difficult to raise up. There were no warning lights illuminated. There were no reported injuries. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 15,900. | Crash: No Fire: No | 15,900 |
| Jul 2021 | SEAT BELTS | Every 3rd or forth time bucking the drivers seat belt it will jam and lock prohibiting wearing the belt. To release you must continually pull belt until it stops (about 12" or so at a time) release it slightly and try to pull out more webbing. Other times it will release fully working normally. It happened one or twice about 8 months a go but the service writer at the dealer had a tech work on it and clear it. However lately it is happing frequently and will be taking to dealer this week. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jul 2021 | ENGINE | Engine failed. Car was jumping and shaking out of control on the highway while I was going 60 mph and before I could pull of the highway it wouldn’t accelerate at all, and stopped directly in the middle of a busy highway.I could have been rear ended at a speed of 60 mph on a highway. It’s currently at Ford dealership. Before the car while parked made a gushing sound like water coming out of bath tub. After car started shaking check engine light and engine coolant over temperature came on. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jun 2021 | SEAT BELTS | The drivers seat belt locks when trying to extend across the my body. So sometimes it works and sometimes it will not release. I live in Illinois where seat belt are mandatory yet there are times that I'm unable to use the safety item "SEAT BELT". I took the vehicle to Auffenberg Ford in O'Fallon Illinois this morning. I was told that the parts to fix it are on back order and where not sure when the parts might arrive if ever. I asked, days, weeks, months, years, or in my life time. They where still unable to give me an estimate. They also stated that there where several other vehicles that have the same problem and they o not have any idea if or when they might be fixed. So they keep selling them knowing that there is problem. Ok so if I'm forced to use a vehicle that is not safe without any recourse who is responsible? This needs to stop before someone is seriously hurt or killed. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| May 2021 | SEAT BELTS | Driver's side seatbelt does not lock properly. It will engage then slip, the locking feature will do this both before the vehicle is on and after driving it. Occurs when the vehicle gets hot, surrounding air temperature at 80 degrees F or above. I have taken the vehicle to a Ford dealer and they have confirmed it happens to that seatbelt. The vehicle should not be driven if the seatbelt doesn't do its job properly, the risk of injury is too great. There have been no indicators that the seat belt was malfunctioning other than using the seatbelt. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
