I was on the freeway with the panoramic vista screen half open, when the plastic clips broke(parts that move the screen open/close) the vista screen slammed back as far as it could go, for a second i thought the entire glass had broken and i was in for a world of hurt! This could cause an extreme safety risk if the glass had shattered.

Door latch won't close. Shows that door is ajar and the lights on inside won't go off because the door looks as if it's open. It happens each time the drivers side door is opened. This has been happening for a few years. In 2014, i thought ford had fixed the issue and i found out today that they only cleaned it. Having to pay $588 for a new door latch isn't good especially when there was a recall for several ford…

Ford edge left rear door latch failing. The latch sensor randomly faults and it's unclear if the door is properly latched or not. The alarm will sound randomly as the sensor fails while the car is locked. This could cause a situation where the door is not properly closed but the sensor says it is. Passengers in the car could be ejected. Latch faults when stationary or in motion.

The drivers' door latch is not working properly. The door ajar alarm is displayed on the dashboard -and the interior lights will not turn off. It has caused a drained battery and decreased visibility at night -due to glare from interior lights on windshield. I am also not sure if the door is actually properly latched-and if it will open while in motion. I talked to my dealer and was told it would cost $400+ to…
