Verbatim from NHTSA complaints, newest first
“WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY LESS 60 MPH MY SUNROOF EXPLODED AND GLASS SHATTERED EVERYWHERE. I HAD MY CHILD IN THE CARSEAT WHILE THIS HAPPEN. THERE NOTHING THAT I HEARD OR VISIBLE THAT HIT IT. SO NOW IM TRYING TO GET IT REPLACE AND THE DEALERSHIP NEED TO ORDER THE GLASS AND I NEED TO WAIT. I FOUND OTHER REPORT ONLINE ABOUT THIS HAPENING TO THE SAME MODEL BUT THERES NO RECALL. BUT OTHER RECALL FOR OTHER FORD MODEL AND YEAR HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE.”
“Driving on the highway at night when suddenly the door alarm rings, dome light turned on causing driver to lose focus/control. Was driving at 60mph when the sensor faulted. The alarm/notification turns on at random times causing the vehicle to have the light stay on and drain battery. This is causing the driver unsure if the door is properly closed and risking the door opening in case of an accident. Problem has persisted.”
“THE HEADLIGHTS HAVE BEEN A PORBLEM FROM DAY ONE. WE CHANGED THEM TO A BRIGHTER BULB AND WE CANT SEEM TO GET THEM ADJUSTED. DOOR AJAR HAS BEEN REPLACED ON THE RIGHT REAR AND NOW IS DOING THE SAME THING ON THE RIGHT FRONT PASSENGER DOOR. NOW THE BRAKE PEDAL SEEMS "HARD" WHEN WE PUSH IT AND I HAVE SEEN RECALLS FOR THE BRAKE BOOSTER YET IT SHOWS OUR EDGE HAS NO RECALLS. WE WILL BE TAKING IT TO OUR MECHANIC TO BE CHECKED.”
“The contact owns a 2013 Ford Edge. The contact stated that the dashboard was cracked nearby the passenger's side air bag compartment. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was determined that the dashboard needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 178,000.”
“My 2013 ford edge has the sunroof rails broken . i think because they are made out of plastic. So the only thing holding the front of the glass is some wires to prevent it from the glass from catching air and catching air borne which will shatter the glass. Im really scare to take the freeway.”
“• What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? The left back door sensor malfunctioned. Yes, it can be inspected once the battery is charged or replaced. • How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? It would not automatically lock the doors while driving. The vehicle is used to transport children. It would say the door is open despite it being closed and locked. The alarm would randomly go off with no one around. • Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? The sensor malfunctioned so much, my battery is now dead. It has not been confirmed by a dealer or service center. • Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? No, it has not been inspected by anyone yet. • Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? The messaging system would randomly tell me my door was open despite it being closed. It became more and more frequent as time went on. Before my battery died, it was happening 3-4 times a night.The issue…”
