“The moonroof in the Ford EDGE will explode when driving more than 65mph down the highway. I have only had this car for 6 months and my roof exploded on me on the way home and of course it's not covered under any warranty. I can't imagine if there was kids in the car and the moonroof was open. I'm not the first person this has happen too. This roof needs to be recalled.”

After investigating, the door stop does not hit the stop when the door is in the open position and it puts pressure on the door check fatiguing the metal. A claim was filed with Ford motor company but they are denying the claim. The continued fatigue on the door check will eventually cause it to fail.”
