Jun 21, 2026Service brakes The known defective brake booster which failed suddenly has been confirmed as defective by ford dealers and its components failed resulting in catastrophic brake failure and not being able to stop. There were no warning lights or signs available it failed suddenly while driving also resulting in a near accident. I called ford dealer and corporate who Informed me I had missed the 10 year year window for the defective and they would be unable to replace it.
Jan 3, 2026Air bags I received an email saying I need to replace the airbag; I think it expired.
Oct 24, 2025Seat belts The front driver seat belt has been fraying to the point that thereâs only about 1/2â of belt left to hold it together. Itâs frayed above the buckle so if I was to hit anything & depending on the belt to save my life Iâm screwed bc itâll just snap. Iâve contacted ford who refuses to replace it under warranty bc itâs been over 6yrs which is wrong bc it is a genuine ford motor craft part and peoples safety and lives depend on the seatbelt to save lives. It shouldnât only be under warranty for a limited amount of time if itâs an original ford part. So bc ford has discontinued all parts and belts for the front driverâs side I canât find a replacement for under $200! So…
Jul 8, 2025Air bags I took my 2010 ford edge to have a air bag recall repaired. The air bag was fixed, the air bag light cleared. I drove about 3 miles home and the light reappeared, I checked the code and it was B2293-03 air bag fault. My wife called right away and told them the light came on and the car can't be inspected until it's clear. They told my wife it would be $200 to take a look at a repair they literally just took their hands off of. All I want is this safety feature fixed right without the $200 fee which is crazy when I just picked it up.

It is believed that the brake booster has malfunctioned. There is a customer satisfaction program listed as 13N02 in regard to the extended warranty coverage for brake boosters. Is my vehicle eligible to be covered on this warranty?
