The contact owns a 2007 Ford Edge. The contact stated that toxic white flakes were being emitted from the air vents. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer, but the failure was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and offered no assistance. The manufacturer was aware that the white flakes were toxic. The failure mileage was 38,000. The VIN was unavailable.
The mirrors on the Edge are placed so that they continually block ,significantly, vision on either side of the vehicle. They are placed very high and are large enough to interfere with with left and right vision. This problem seems to be significant enough to have resulted in a lowering on the Ford 150 trucks with the same high mirrow problem.
This vehicle has a couple of problems I am concerned about. First, when you roll down the windows, reach speeds of 30+ miles per hour, then try to roll the windows up, it creates a terrible vacuum pressure inside of the car. This pressure always makes my ears hurt, and I believe may be damaging my eardrums. I find it disturbing that as a consumer, I can not roll down the windows of my car in acclimate weather, because of the pressure that is created inside of the car when I do so. Also, I don't know if others have had the same problem, but this car is a shock hazard. I am constantly getting shocked every time I close the door of this car. It is a concern, and I always worry that when I go to a gas station it will create a spark (god-forbid). I have no contacted Ford motor company, but I have every intention on doing so. Right now, I have a laundry list of issues, but none as major, in my opinion, as these. I thank you very much for your time. It is my hope that if you get enough of these complaints, because I refuse to believe I am the only one, some changes will be made. Hopefully, no one will have to sustain any ear damage or spark a fire, before these issues are resolved.
