    I was driving slowly down a street at about 20-30 mph and tried to close my sunroof and the plastic that holds it into the moving track broke off leaving it stuck in the open position. I took it to ford thinking that since there have been multiple issues with their edge cars' roofs, they would be able to repair it. Instead they wanted to charge me $8,000 to repair the whole roof.

    The rear left door "door ajar" indicator would show that the door was open, even when slammed shut. At first i had to slam the door harder, but after a while even that didn't work. When that didn't work, it became an issue because my interior lights wouldn't go off after leaving the car. I had to break the part to get my lights to go off so i didn't drain my battery overnight.

    Door lock assembly, although door is completely shut, door ajar alert stays on, which causes all the lights to remain on and it does not allow you to lock your doors, which is a safety issue when you have children who could potentially open the door while in motion. Some lights remain on after door is closed which can drain battery. Issue occurs regardless of whether the vehicle is stationary or in motion
