The contact owns a 2017 Ford Edge. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Numbers: 25V544000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulics) and 25V572000 (Back Over Prevention); however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The contact stated that after pulling into a parking lot at 5 MPH, the vehicle suddenly accelerated without applying more pressure to the accelerator pedal. The vehicle crashed into the cement foundation of a handicap sign, bringing the vehicle to a complete stop. No air bags deployed. The contact received emotional distress.

The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed. The dealer replaced the front bumper, grille, front lamps, radiator support, mount tie bar, fender, and electrical components, as well as other unknown parts. The dealer confirmed that there were no remedies available for the recalls. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. The failure mileage was approximately 50,000.
