2012 Ford Edge Visibility (wipers, defrost, mirrors) Problems

“While driving at less than the posted speed limit, we heard an explosion from on top of the vehicle. Saw glass pieces sliding off roof. Upon visual inspection we saw the vista sunroof had exploded. The glass exploded along the perimeter of the retractable sunroof. The center of the glass was still intact and there was no visible sign of impact. Nothing hit the glass. Given the perimeter glass damage, it appears the glass was compressed inward somehow. This is a vehicle defect.”

“Driving home on 78 from julian and heard a loud pop pulled over to the side of the road and saw that the sunroof over the back seat had exploded. Luckily the grand kids weren't the back seat the glass stay intact. Took the car to heller Ford where we both it and explained what happened. They said they have never heard of this happening before, something must hit it and it is our responsibility to pay for it. We are waiting for the glass to come so poway glass can re place it. Then we will see if Ford is going to pay for it.”

“2012 Ford EDGE limited: driving down the divided highway at about 65 MPH, with no vehicles in front/next to/ or behind me, the panoramic sunroof exploded and shattered. This was not due to any impact or collision of any type, to include debris, flying pebbles, etc. The sunroof exploded outwards, with the glass pushed upwards. Additionally, the glass was shattered in all four corners. This is a design defect, with documented recalls across many makes/models. This exact situation has happened to hundreds of other people/vehicles whether driving at highway speeds or parked. …”

“During the night on 9/25/2012, the windshield spontaneously cracked from the lower driver's side corner extending diagonally toward the center of the window. The window was replaced by the dealer. On 7/2/12 same type of crack appeared on driver side in new windshield. On 7/21/12, a similar crack appeared on passenger side extending from the lower corner and continuing toward the center of the window. These 3 spontaneous cracks from corners occurred in about one and a half years, all happening over night and from the corners.”
