Ford edge as far as I’m aware, have many complaints with a cracked rear taillight which builds up with water and condensation. My 2015 Ford Edge SEL has had this problem. I was told by an auto body repair shop many customers encounter this problem, it is a manufacturer defect and ford won’t hold responsibility and announce this as a recall.

I’m not a car expert. However, this suv has been rusting for some time in (1) one spot. Why? Because there seems to be a manufacture defect in or on the door body structure. I am concerned that the rust my be effecting my safety when driving and May fall off eventually. Causing injury. I can not get an explanation from FORD as the why this is happening! Other than it must be a manufacturer issue/defect etc.

The Panoramic Vista Glass Sunroof on my 2015 Ford Edge shows many cracks along the front edge of the glass for no apparent reasons. This was discovered recently on a calm cloudy day. I've attached some pictures at different angles. This roof has the potential to explode if going on a high speed. I'm surprise to discovered that their is no recall issue for this model, but on other Ford Models with Panoramic Glass Sunroof. Please investigate and add this Make/Model to Ford Panoramic Vista Glass Sunfoof Recall List. No vehicle should have a roof top crack for no apparent reason. I'm afraid to even open the soft divider separating the car riders from the glass sunroof.

THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR STARTED TO SHOW BUBBLING/ PEELING PAINT SEVERAL MONTHS AGO. MADE SEVERAL CONTACTS WITH DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF THEY COULD TELL ME WHY! NO HELP OR ASSISTANCE FROM THEM TO FIND OUT IF MY CAR WAS DAMAGED AND/OR REPAIRED PRIOR TO MY PURCHASE. NO RESPONSE OR ANSWER FROM THEM. IN TALKING WITH A FORD BODY REPAIR PERSON; HE SEEMS TO FEEL THE CAR DOOR WAS REPAIRED AND/OR PARTIALLY REPAIRED. AND NOW RUSTING AGAIN! HOWEVER, I HAVE ALSO BEEN TOLD THAT SEVERAL OTHER FORDS HAVE HAD RUSTING ISSUED FOR SOMETIME NOW!! POSSIBLY A RECALL ISSUE! I WOULD LIKE AN ANSWER FROM FORD ON WHY THIS HAPPENING TO FORD CARS. AND, MINE ESPECIALLY!!! SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT IN DODGE WHEN EVERYONE AT THE ORIGINAL DEALERSHIP DID NOT RESPOND. *THIS IS NOT AN ACCIDENT ISSUE. IT'S ABOUT A QUALITY OF CAR RUSTING AWAY!

SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING MY FORD EDGE, IT DEVELOPED CONDENSATION IN THE TAIL LIGHT COMPARTMENT. IT HAS PROGRESSED INTO A LEAK IN THE TAILGATE LEAVING WATER IN THE BRAKE LIGHT COMPARTMENT. SINCE THEN, THE LEAK HAS CAUSED MY LIGHTING SYSTEM TO QUIT WORKING WHICH POSES A SAFETY THREAT. THIS OBVIOUS DESIGN DEFECT POSES A SAFETY THREAT. FURTHER, I SEE MANY OTHER FORD EDGES OUT ON THE ROAD WITH THIS SAME DEFECT WHICH POSES A SAFETY THREAT TO NUMEROUS DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. ORDINARY WEAR AND TEAR COULD NOT ACCOUNT FOR THIS PROBLEM SO SOON IN THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE AND VERY SHORTLY AFTER I PURCHASED IT. (CERTIFIED, PRE-OWNED FROM THE DEALERSHIP). I AM A CAREFUL AND CONSCIENTIOUS OWNER, AS THE GENERAL CONDITION OF THE CAR SHOWS. I HAVE NOT DONE ANYTHING TO THE CAR THAT WOULD CAUSE THIS DEFECT.

MY WIFE WAS INSIDE AT WORK AND THE 2015 EDGE WAS JUST SITTING IN THE PARKING LOT. SHE GOT IN AFTER WORK AND STARTED THE CAR AND BOOM THE BACK WINDOW JUST SHATTERS. NOT REMOTE STARTED OR ANYTHING. 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 $600 REPAIR BILL SINCE FORD SAYS IT'S NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.

I OWN A 2015 FORD EDGE TITANIUM TRIM. BOTH PANORAMIC SUN ROOFS HAVE DEVELOPED CRACKS FOR NO APPARENT REASON. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE AS I CAN HEAR THE GLASS GRINDING AS THE CAR FLEXES WHILE DRIVING. EACH ROOF PANEL DEVELOPED THESE CRACKS AT DIFFERENT TIMES. IN NEITHER INSTANCE WAS THE CAR SUBJECTED TO UNUSUAL OR SEVERE DRIVING CONDITIONS.

PURCHASED A USED 2015 "CERTIFIED" FORD EDGE TITANIUM 3 MONTHS AGO NOW. THE SUNROOF WILL NOT CLOSE. I AM BEING INFORMED ITS THE SUNROOF RACKS AND THOSE ARE NOT COVERED IN EITHER MY CERTIFIED WARRANTY OR MY POWER TRAN WARRANTY. HOW CAN A SUNROOF ONLY USED 3 TIMES RACKS BREAK UNLESS THEY WERE ALREADY MESSED UP AND THE DEALERSHIP THOUGHT IT WOULD BE EASIER TO GET RID OF INSTEAD OF FIXING.

THE RATTLE IS SO BAD AT TIMES I AM CONCERNED THAT THERE IS A STRUCTURAL PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE.

TAKARA RECALL I HAVE HAD CONTINUOUS ISSUES WITH MY 2015 EDGE WITH THE DOORS BECOMING AJAR. THE FIRST TIME I WAS STUCK IN BELOW ZERO CONDITIONS, WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO HAVE MY HEART ON CLOSE MY DOORS OR LOCK THEM. IF THAT WASNT ENOUGH, I HAD TO CALL A TOW TRUCK BECAUSE MY CAR BATTERY DIED AS A RESULT OF BEING ABLE TO CLOSE THE DOORS. THIS HAS HAPPENED COUNTLESS TIMES AND NOW AGAIN I HAVE ANOTHER ISSUE BUT THE LIFT GATE IS AJAR. THIS TIME HOWEVER THE CAR IS STILL DRIVING. HOW CAN FORD NOT RECALL THIS? YOU SAY IT ISN'T A SAFETY ISSUE BUT I COULD HAVE FROZE TO DEATH, BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED WHEN I'M DRIVING AND THE DOOR SUDDENLY FLIES OPEN. CORRECT THIS. I WILL END UP FILING A LAWSUIT IF ANYTHING HAPPENS AGAIN. I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR A YEAR AGO. YOU CANNOT JUSTIFY A $40,000 CAR NOT BEING ABLE TO OPEN OR CLOSE MY DOORS OR TRUNK. GET IT FIGURED OUT OR I WILL BE CONTACTING SOMEONE WHO WILL. I'VE BEEN IN SUPPORT OF FORD SINCE I WAS 16. YOU'RE ABOUT TO LOOSE A VALUABLE CUSTOMER AND I'M ABOUT TO SPREAD THE WORD HOW FORD CANT STAND BEHIND THEIR VEHICLES.

DISCOVERED ON OR ABOUT 11/19/18 A WAVY CRACK/FISSURE ACROSS REAR-MOST MOON ROOF IWINDOW. THIS IS THE WINDOW COMPONENT OF THE MOON ROOF WHICH DOES NOT MOVE.. THE WINDOW CRACK/FISSURE WAS NOT THE RESULT OF ANY ACCIDENT OR IMPACT WITH ANY OBJECT. I HAVE 38,000 MILES ON THIS VEHICLE. INTERNET SEARCH SUGGESTS THIS MAY BE A COMMON VEHICLE DEFECT. FORTUNATELY THE WINDOW HAS NOT SHATTERED.
