    I’ve never heard of something even getting recalled more than once before they aren’t being sold and nobody has one anymore; how the fuck do these ugly fucking things get 5 recalls and are still seen regularly on the road? 😬

        My wife’s Edge had a faulty backup camera too, but Ford didn’t issue a recall, so I had to shell out hundreds of dollars for a new one and install it myself.

        They also have defective ABS modules that corrode when in contact with brake fluid. They did issue a recall for it with the Fusion and MKX but not the Edge. Hers lost complete braking pressure while driving because the ABS valves stick open and bypass the line going to the brake calipers. Luckily, she didn’t crash, but once again, I had to shell out $800 to get a new one and spent two days replacing it myself.

      Most cars have recalls, usually for benign shit. My Honda had to go in for a fuel pump. Now it needs to go in for some infotainment cable. I’m pretty sure there were a couple others, too.

      5 in a year is a lot though. Even for a new model.
