2007 FORD EDGE — Complaint #661103
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about STEERING:GEAR BOX:SHAFT SECTOR filed March 11, 2008
NHTSA complaint #661103 (ODI reference 10220851) concerns a 2007 FORD EDGE and was filed on March 11, 2008. The owner reports the failure occurred on March 9, 2008. The vehicle had 10 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to California based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as steering:gear box:shaft sector, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 1, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same FORD EDGE cohort independently describe similar steering:gear box:shaft sector failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2007 FORD EDGE shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
