sanlynnj Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 I would have taken my edge to a garage I trust, but they are not a Ford dealer, so we had no choice but to take it to the ford dealer, we just picked the closest one to us. I don't think they run a very good business, just the attitude of the people working there, I could tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macbwt Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 This is the response from my insurance carrier. I would say if your insurance carrier is making you pay insurance then you may wish to find another carrier. Below is the response I received from our Allied underwriter this morning regarding your vehicle; If the insured's vehicle is put into storage and he obtains a replacement vehicle we would leave the 2008 Ford Edge on the policy and provide the same coverage it has for the vehicle that is rented. If this happens, please provide the year, make and model of the vehicle his is provided. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 That's what I would have expected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooper Tysen Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 Geico made an exception for me and sent me a new declaration page with a note that the rental vehicle will have all my coverages until my vehicle is repaired. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frozennuts Posted February 5, 2015 Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 I purchased my 2008 Edge new in Quebec and in 2011, I moved to Finland a took the Edge with me. I noticed this info of the forum last week and contacted Ford CRC in the US to ask if my Edge is one of the effected and was informed that it was and that I should contact Ford in Finland to have the recall action taken care of which, was great. On contacting Ford Finland and giving my VIN number, I was in formed that my vehicle had no recall notices and was therefor not effected. I asked that they recheck and confirm and the replied that I did not need to worry. I recontacted FORD USA to reconfirm but no answer as yet. Should I have the lawyer warmed up and waiting as I have it in writing from a Ford representative that my car is not effected but how could this be, its a 2008 Ford Edge limited AWD which lived its first three year in Quebec with a shed load of salt on the road. i guess I have to trust the word of a representative of Ford Motor Company until the shit hits the fan!

WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted February 5, 2015 Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 (edited) This sounds like one of the "exception" cases where you you'd do well to continue keeping your documentation file, and at least have the name of a good attorney handy. Most of these recalls don't take into account "mixed address" vehicles, so having that file (and if need be, the attorney) at hand would be the proper thing to do. Of course, you still have to have the leak happening before any remedy can be applied. No leak, no fix.

akirby Posted February 5, 2015 Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 It SOUNDS like they made a change to the tanks or related parts in 2008 so vehicles built after that aren't affected. But that's just a guess, otherwise you would have expected the recall to cover the 2009-2010s also. But it's difficult to know for sure.

frozennuts Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 Rather than wait until I smell gas, I took a quick look under and this is what I see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 That is NOT good! So yeah, I think the best course of action would be to press forward with (at least) the advice of a good lawyer in hand. Hopefully it won't come to that any more than that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigma-2 Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 OCT 29, 2014 | DEARBORN, MICH. Ford is issuing a safety recall for approximately 205,000 (actual 204,448) 2007-2008 Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX vehicles in corrosion states and provinces in North America for possible corrosion under the reinforcement brackets where the fuel tank is mounted to the vehicle. I have an 09 MKX. Did Ford/Lincoln change the design in the 09 or will I need to be concerned in the future as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 They changed something otherwise the later models would have been included in the recall. Whether it guarantees you won't have the same problem - not sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 I have an 09 MKX. Did Ford/Lincoln change the design in the 09 or will I need to be concerned in the future as well? Check it now and then annually, I'd say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 Would it hurt to use some type of rust arrestor on any existing rust to hopefully stop it or would that void the warranty? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 If it's obviously just surface rust, the arrestor may work fine. But any deeper, and it might give you a false sense of security. Would be harder to prove your case too if it should come time, since the evidence has been "tampered with".

That's what I would be worried about. Although Ford could do that as part of the recall for the ones that aren't too bad yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanlynnj Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 Now my Edge has about 3 feet of snow , still sitting at the dealer. Not been touched.. Has been sitting there since Dec. 30. so ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sanlynnj Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 no cover on my ford edge at the dealer all through this winter and ice. I never had it sit out in the winter!!! I wrote a letter to Board of Directors. Got a letter in the mail today from Ford. Amazing how they are dealing with this, like it is my fault when I had an issue with the loaner I got. It stated that ford is not instructing dealers to provide a loaner vehicle. hhmm that is funny, Ford sent me right to Enterprise rental to pick up my loaner. The letter said that I should continue to work with the service team at Mastell Ford dealer. Ok, but they know nothing!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macbwt Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 I think you will have to accept the fact that your car will be sitting outside for a while and maybe moved further and further to the back lot with the wholesale vehicles and destroyed waiting for disposition vehicles. Fact is it is not their car and is nothing more than a hinderance and problem they wish they could get rid of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanlynnj Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 well, as long as ford is willing to pay well over 2,000.00 per month for me to drive a Ford F-150 until I get my car back, they can have at it. I have worked with our insurance on liability, and ford is paying insurance through enterprise rental. I honestly don't know what will happen. I doubt Ford is happy about paying our my rental..but the stinker is, I would still be driving the Toyota corolla had I not worked through enterprise rental. Ford could care less what car I have for loaner. seems to me they would at least want me in a ford. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanlynnj Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 How Mastell Ford treats my Edge that has the fuel tank recall. It has been sitting there since December 30. Doesn't look like there are any plans in the near future to fix it. Looks like it belongs in a grave yard, I was almost in tears when we drove into the lot.
