“The stationary sunroof panel cracked but there is no impact damage. Appears just to have cracked. Because there was no impact, I'm unsure of specifically when this happened, just noticed it when I opened I opened the sunroof last time.”

NHTSA complaint #11292264, filed 2019-12, 45,000 miles

“My vehicle was parked. I used the auto start. Let it run for 2 minutes or so. I went to the vehicle, put my personal property in the front seat. Closed the door. Went to the backseat to grab an ice scraper, to clean off the car. Closed the door, and the back window caved in. I am now afraid to drive my vehicle. I could have had my dogs in the back of the car. What happens if the full piece of glass that is my roof caves in? My child has now asked if the windshield could cave in?”

“I opened the electric liftgate and was in the process of placing a wheelchair into the back compartment when the hatch decided to close automatically. The liftgate struck me on the head and continued to push me down. I had to push on the liftgate as hard as I could to get it to reverse. If a young child had been hit it would have caused serious injuries. We called 2 Ford dealers who offered to give us an appointment for service with a 2 week wait. (boy, do they care). I ended up with a mild concussion......nausea and mild lightheadedness. …”

“The tail light reflector has major condensation problems. This problem is causing water to sit and over time algae has formed. This appears to be a common problem among 2015-2018 Ford EDGE models. This can be a safety issue once algae has formed due to the lack of visibility of reverse tail lights being seen.”

NHTSA complaint #11288300, filed 2019-12, 53,000 miles

“This vehicle was involved in an accident when another vehicle crossed its path going the wrong way on a one way street. This Ford EDGE struck the Ford f150 broadside at approximately 30+ MPH at about a 20 degree angle drivers side hood and fender and windshield broken. The steering wheel air bag did not deploy, and the knee bolster did not deploy fully. This caused serious injuries to the driver.”
