Owners beware....i purchased a 2008 Edge Ltd last month...last week my tire seperated from the ball joint and went under the vehicle. the scary part is that noone understands how it happened
the dealership never seen anything like it before, no parts were broken or worn, it simply dislodged
Ford even sent a field service engineer down to look at it.
i caution all to be careful

Uhhhh ....interesting response to the orginal post explorerx4. The purpose of this website is to provide all information, the good and the bad. Let me guess ... car salesman?
 
Thank you original poster for the pertinent information. Hopefully this is not a recurring problem. Glad that you were safely able to handle that situation. Bet you were rather busy the first week after the accident dealing with the situation.
 
The Ford Edge came to my attention while car shopping. Have to say that I wasn't much focused on a Ford -- I have the tendency to relate Ford to work trucks -- but I'm considering the Edge as it has much to offer.

The tire isn't connected to the ball joint, so I'm not sure what really happened. If you stil post here, could you tell us what the result of the investigation was?

Oh well, this poster created this one message and never logged in to Edmunds again. Guess we'll never find out what really happened.

The dealer and Ford specialist did not give me an answer. They fixed the problem and swept under the rug. i have had not problems since. the dealer was attentive and tried to explain problem may have been caused by wear, but remember the car was only 1 month old at the time of the problem. i will never know what caused the problem.

why didn't get taken care of by your insurance?
if your vehicle is ok to drive again, that's good.
