THE MANUFACTURER WAS AWARE THAT THE WHITE FLAKES WERE TOXIC. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 38,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.”

“THE MIRRORS ON THE EDGE ARE PLACED SO THAT THEY CONTINUALLY BLOCK ,SIGNIFICANTLY, VISION ON EITHER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THEY ARE PLACED VERY HIGH AND ARE LARGE ENOUGH TO INTERFERE WITH LEFT AND RIGHT VISION. THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE SIGNIFICANT ENOUGH TO HAVE RESULTED IN A LOWERING ON THE FORD 150 TRUCKS WITH THE SAME HIGH MIRROR PROBLEM. *TR”

“2007 FORD EDGE WITH VISTA ROOF GLASS TOP. WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED MY FRONT GLASS PANEL EXPLODED AND SCATTERED GLASS SHARDS DOWN THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE. SINCE DEALING WITH THE FORD DEALER AND COMPANY THERE IS NO INDICATION THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. HOWEVER, AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET, I HAVE FOUND SEVERAL INSTANCES OF THIS REPORTED (HTTP://TOWNHALL-TALK.EDMUNDS.COM/DIRECT/VIEW/.F0FD566) SINCE WE HAD THE INSIDE PANEL CLOSED NO ONE WAS HURT. BESIDES THE NOISE SCARING THE DRIVER I IMAGINE THAT IF THE PANEL IS OPEN THIS COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS. THE CAR IS STILL IN FOR REPAIR AND AM TOLD REPLACEMENT PART(S) IS ON ORDER FROM OUT OF STATE. THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO CONTINUE INTO AT LEAST THE 2008 MODELS. *TR”
