“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.”

“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, september 23rd”

“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.”
