It was about 27degrees f outside. The window literally broke at all 4 corners. I have read there is a recall in canada for this issue but not one here in the united states. This is a wonderful way to start xmas is with a…

Only the exterior layer of glass has cracked at tbhs point but the roof creaks and flexes and will potentialy completely…

Came out to my 2015 ford edge sport with the rear glass of the panoramic moonroof cracked from left to right seems. Car is parked in drive way and i have a awning so nothing fell from the sky and hit it. Also didn't see any damage or chips from a hit. Right then i remember seeing all the complaints of the of the exploding moon roofs that ford is failing to see as a safety hazard. Reports after reports of the exact…

For the second time in less then 2 years our panoramic sunroof has cracked completely. Not just a single crack but the entire window has cracks. The first time the ford technician said he could see where a rock or something hit the window. Well i have not taken this in yet but i'm sure it will be the same excuse. I am not sure when it cracked as we don't always have the sunroof open and don't always have the shade…

The auto dim rear view mirror stays on dim all of the time which limits the drivers visibility substantially. The lighting is never "high visibility". I am reporting this issue to you in the hopes that you will review it and possibly prevent a serious traffic incident.

Was finished shopping , the car was parked ror about two hours. When i got in i noticed a small crack in the sunroof glass. I checked the outside and there was no indication of any damage from an impact. It has grown from that initial crack. Checked on line and found many of the same problems and ford keeps saying its because of impacts. I beg to differ.

Sitting in my garage, the car was running and warming up. Rear defroster was on as was heat in car. Oat was 35 deg f. Rear window exploded along bottom edge with no outside influence. Many other edge owners have reported similar incidents of the rear window shattering on its own. Please investigate and issue a recall. Thank god it didn't happen 1000 mikes from home on a lonely interstate at night!

The sunroof glass randomly and inexplicably cracked while the vehicle was parked in a sun-drenched parking lot. I heard a loud "crack" which resulted in a small crack that rapidly progressed into a spiderweb of cracks over the next few hours and while driving home. See attached pictures. There is no evidence of foreign object impact . My understanding from internet searches is that this is a common problem with this…

While driving down interstate in light rain, but trucks throwing water onto windshield, the drivers side wiper skipped and stalled. It was extremely hard to see and very dangerous. After about 5-7 seconds, it moved and wiped windshield again. This has happened at least 4 different times. Dealer has reprogrammed, but that did not fix the issue. This is a serious safety issue.

Nothing hit or fell onto my car, the back windshield literally just popped and shattered into pieces. I pulled over and got out to look at it, when i closed my door, the windshield started crumbling into the car. It look like the outer edges of the windshield snapped or compressed first and then the center of…

While driving down the interstate we hear a loud 'pop' which sounded like a balloon popping then a crackling noise. I looked back and the entire rear window on the hatch of our edge had shattered. Luckily it stayed in tact until we returned home and when i shut a door it started to break all of the way open. We were not traveling by any other vehicle at the time this happened.
