Re: ford edge turned left into parking lot. Rt rear tire hit curb. Drove straight into parking space almost stopped. Car accelerated, became airborn, made sharp left. 40mpr within 35-40 ft. Hit steel pole/concrete head on. Front & side air bags did not deploy & seat belts did not hold occupants. Believe computer took over after hitting tire. Computer is to bring car into control as if out of control on ice or snow but conditions were dry. Police claim driver stepped on gas instead of brake. Reported to ford.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 ford edge. The contact stated that there was a recurring failure with the transmission. The transmission had been replaced three times within a short time frame. The vehicle was repaired by an independent mechanic all each time. The contact was not aware of what caused the recurring failure. There were no recalls for the vehicle. The failure mileage was 22,000 and the current mileage was 100,000.
Strong fuel smell coming from rear of vehicle. Fuel is leaking slightly at seam and has strong vapor smells. Hasn't been overfilled. I can not park the vehicle in the garage anymore due to the danger of the vapors. This needs to be addressed before someone gets hurt or killed. To many people have already complained on this issue, so why has a recall not been issued?
