| Driver side rear blinker has been replaced every 4-6 months. socket is completely melted. bulbs are melted. black is all around socket. this is unacceptable and i will not pay the dealership an arm and leg just to keep me safe (car fire). one person said they were charged 98 dollars. that's absurd. there should be a recall and this should be replaced with no expense to the customer. *tr | |||

| One of the rear blinkers went bad twice since i had the car and when i went to replace it the socket that the bulb goes into was black and melted. the first time the blinker went out the car was under warranty so the dealer replaced the bulb. i feel that this issue need to be addressed soon because other than being annoying having to replace the bulb it seems like a fire hazard | |||

| 2007 ford edge, both rear turn signal lights shorted out within a few weeks of each other. in both cases, the base of bulb that plugs into socket has a burned black appearance leading me to believe this could be a fire safety hazard in this model. i have replaced both bulbs and my husband is reporting to our local dealer. | |||

| Tl*the contact owns a 2007 ford edge. when the vehicle was purchased, the front passenger seat failed. the vehicle was at the dealer for three weeks to repair the seat. the bolts in the seat were visible and injured one of the passengers. the dealer replaced the screws and covered them with a rubber seal; however, they continue to fall off and expose the screws. at 150 miles, the lining in the moonroof fell off of the vehicle and was replaced by the dealer. six months later, while driving approximately 5 mph, the contact heard a loud grinding sound when he depressed the brake pedal. the dealer diagnosed the failure and stated that the brakes were corroded. the brakes were replaced and the rotors were cleaned. the front and rear windows do not grip or seal properly when they are rolled up or down. the dealer diagnosed the window failure on four occasions and eventually stated that they had to change the paper on the rollers. the two rear exterior lights continue to fill up with water. the dealer diagnosed the failure on three occasions and replaced the tail lights; however, the failure continued. there seems to be a design failure. on several occasions, the gear shift failed to engage in park, drive, and reverse. a passenger had to stop traffic since the gear shift was locked in reverse. the failure recurred on february 20, 2008; however, the dealer stated that the earliest they could schedule an appointment would be on march 1, 2008. the failure occurs intermittently and has been in the repair shop every other week since it was purchased. the contact is the original owner. the dealer has offered no assistance in replacing the vehicle. the contact was advised to only have the vehicle serviced by a dealer that is one or more hours away from her residence. the failure mileage was 150 and current mileage was 8,000. updated 3/25/08 *cn | |||
