Where is the computer in the Edge and what code did they capture? Here is an article about the Event Data Recorder in cars. The link is below. 2007-11 Ford Edge cars are supposed to have these Recorders. <http://openchannel.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2011/11/11/8743687-digital-evidence-becoming-central-in-criminal-cases> List of vehicles with Event Data Recorder: <http://www.rimkus.com/uploads/pdfs/Event_Data_Recorder.pdf> I also found out today that there is a port somewhere near the steering wheel that has data that can be downloaded. I don't know if any of this was done with my car.

Kris, have you reported your problems to the NHTSA (1-800-327-4236)? If more people report the problems, Ford will be forced to respond. My car sat at a Ford dealership for a week, waiting for a response from Ford. The company was contacted by phone, FAX and email ---- no response. We were told that if I took my car, then I would be liable. Not true, our lawyer says. So I am now reluctantly driving this car. A Ford engineer was supposed to look at my car Wednesday or Thursday ---- no show! If Ford is so concerned about liability, they have a sad way of showing it! Did you contact Ford yourself or did the dealer do it? My hope is that Ford will buy my Edge back. It only has a little over 7,000 miles on it.

I reported the Unintentional Acceleration (UA) problem to the NHTSA. There is a complaint about another 2010 Ford Edge with the same problem. I have been reading about Unintentional Acceleration and car makers. We all know about Toyota. But did you know that Ford vehicles have also had problems? Ford has not accepted responsibility for UA, declaring it could floor mats or elserly people stepping on the wrong pedal causing the acceleration. If you or someone you know has a problem with Unintentiional Acceleration, PLEASE post it here!

Has anyone had a problem with their 2010 Edge accelerating by itself? Today i was going about 10 mph into a parking space. I took my foot off the gas and was ready to brake when the car revved up and crashed through a store window.
