I noticed a large crack in my 2016 ford edge sport sun roof. I googled this issue and noticed that many people have had the same issue. The dealer told me that this would not be covered and that i could call ford directly. I called ford and they mentioned they have never heard of this issue. I find this hard to believe. I am not sure when it exactly happened. Sometime between sunday, september 22nd and monday,…

Shortly after buying (42,353 miles) this ford edge, panoramic sunroof developed cracks while just sitting in the driveway. I had to replace it ($802) by safelite before it completed brakes and falls on top of either me or my wife. I have read that this is a common problem for this type of vehicle. Did not know this prior to buy. My wife is in constant fear it might happen again and that glass will fall on her.

Vehicle has a motion sensor under the rear area that enables the hatch to open and close when you slide you foot under the bumper if you have the key fob on you. When you begin loading packages if your foot moves near the sensor the hatch can close down suddenly and hit you in the head or back if you are turning to empty a cart. There seems to be no way for the user to shut off the motion sensor. A google search…

Rear window glass collapsed / crumbled during normal use. The window did not show any initial sign of cracking or failure. It appears this is a known issue with this model that to date ford has not addressed by recall. The vehicle was stationary at the time however it could have occurred the next time the vehicle was driven. This could be risk to passengers of the vehicle or other vehicles following.

The rear window of my edge exploded with no one in the vehicle'. My wife remote started the car, then later she went out to get the newspaper and go shopping when she noticed glass on the ground behind the car. Thinking it was vandalized we called the police. Upon the patrolman's examination he noted that it looks like it was broken from the inside! I agreed. The vehicle was parked in my driveway and was locked.

The resistance required to stop the downward movement of the powered lift gate to too great. If the gate were to close on a child or small animal it would cause injury. Gate works according to ford specs. However a small software change could correct the problem. I am a male and it takes several pounds of resistance for me to cause the gate to reverse. My wife can not stop the downward movement unless she is…

Rear panoramic moonroof glass panel was cracked and replaced by a ford dealer (on september 12, 2017). Defective glass was the cause and ford motors would not honor their 3-year manufacturer's warranty for a repair at no cost. Fyi, the incident occurred prior to my july vehicle purchase from a chevrolet dealership.

The driving lights illuminate the roads poorly and i've had them adjusted twice in order to improve night driving visibility. Also, the driver's door doesn't latch reliably and i've had it adjust ed twice and now the door whistles. The door ajar light signals the door isn't properly shut. There is poor coordination between the keyless fob and the door unlocking both of these problems are ongoing.
