general problems of the 2015 Ford Edge - part 1

On March 22, 2026, I was returning home from a trip to visit my mother in colorado. The wind in kansas was horrible on that day. While in the middle of the state, one of the panels around the sunroof on my 2015 Ford Edge came off of my car and shattered in the road behind me. Moments later, 3 other panels blew off and shattered on the road. I was in shock! someone could have been killed or severely injured! I am still in shock! the next day, Monday the 23rd, I took the car over to james river Ford near my house and had them look at it. They stated that they had never seen this before. All but one of the panels around the sunroof had come off! they looked up recalls for me, but none were on the sunroof panels. Again, I was in shock. How could a car have been designed such that there was the possibility that the roof of the car could come off randomly while driving down the highway? I looked online and there was a lot of talk on how these panels are notorious for coming off! there are multiple stories of issues with these panels. I purchased this car used and would have preferred to not have a sunroof, but I really liked the rest of the car. In fact, the sunroof did not work properly when I first purchased the car, so I chose not to even use it. Now, to have the panels rip off and shatter on the road is extremely alarming and frustrating! most importantly, I need to know that Ford understands the dangers of these poorly designed panels around their panoramic sunroof! no “special” sunroof design is worth the dangers that these can cause if they come off. I do not see other vehicles around with these types of panels. I reached out to Ford online on March 23rd and April 2nd. Of course, nothing really came of that, which is why I am reached out and sent them a certified letter. I am extremely disappointed with my vehicle at this point. Fixing it will be expensive, so I may just drive around without panels so that people can see what happen.

Filing complaint based on 6 months since 2 recalls filed for this vehicle and no resolution has been offered by Ford as of the time of this filing.

I was backing out of my driveway and I went about ten feet and my vehicle stopped I then put it in drive and it wouldn’t go anywhere ,I then put back in reverse and it wouldn’t go backwards either I shut the vehicle off and called triple aaa to get my vehicle towed. While I was waiting I started it up again and the I saw lit up on my dashboard awd malfunction so I shut it off again. The tow company brought my vehicle to a service station up the street so they could look at it . They diagnosed it and on January 29th they said my rear differential needed to be replaced and the cost was going to be $3500 which included labor with all the issues with Ford I checked to see if there was a recall there wasn’t but there were other people complaining about this when u look up problems with 2015 Ford Edge sel. There was no warning message prior to this happening. I do have to get this fixed it’s my only car. Please help this is extremely expensive especially for a senior citizen.

Multiple instances of being blinded completely by led headlights of oncoming vehicles. Please do something about this!.

The lug nut caps will not come off and no tire store in our area can get them off without charging an arm and a leg. What if we were on the road with a flat tire? my husband is [xxx] and I'm [xxx] . There is no way we'd be able to get the wheel off to change it. What if we had no cell service and a driver who is a criminal stops to "help".

I’m wanting to report the open recalls on my vehicle. I feel like there has been plenty of time to accommodate for these parts needed for my vehicle. The camera glitched for the first time on me about 6 months ago as I was using it to back up and the glitch caused me to back up into a pole that I didn’t see. I was unable to stop fast enough before I hit the pole as it was glitching. I need these parts from these 2 recalls fixed as soon as possible. Especially if my brakes can go out at any minute. I cannot afford to pay out of pocket for these. Thank you.

Back up camera keeps going crazy. Blinks in and out and breaks up when backing up in driveway or parking.

Weatherstripping on the Ford Edge has been an ongoing issue since new and there should be a formal recall. The noise from the freeway is extensive and the weatherstripping needs constant attention. You search Ford Edge weather stripping issues, there's a gazillion forums with people with the same issues. This needs to be a formal recall so that I don't have to keep replacing or adjusting my weather stripping or having it hang loose driving down the freeways.

The back up camera is not clear and the screen is froze once vehicle is in drive it’s still showing the rear camera.

The rearview camera has malfunctioned many times. The camera image will delay, freeze or not display when the vehicle is in reverse. This same issue has been reported on newer Ford products and they are under recall.

I was pumping gas and the back glass just shattered sounded like a bomb going off.

I believe there's a manufactuing defect with my rear defrost. I woke up this morning to my back windshield blowing out. The temperature was not cold nor there was nothing felled on it. My car was parked in my driveway.

In June of 2022, the vehicle was exhibiting symptoms of hard to start especially after refueling, stalling, and poor drivability and the check engine light was illuminated. This vehicle was taken to local Ford dealer (dowling Ford- cheshire, CT) and diagnosed as a faulty fuel vapor separator (aka purge valve/solenoid) Ford part # f2gz-9d289-a. The dealer performed diagnosis/repair/replacement of this part at a total cost of approximately $600. The problem appeared to have been fixed, but now on 10/15/2024 the same issue re-appeared, and once again the dealer has determined same part has failed and now will cost $729 for diag/repair/replacement. This repair is just outside of the 2 year parts and labor warranty provided by Ford and/or dealer. According to my online research this is a well known and common problem with these vehicles as well as many other similar Ford vehicles which a recall has been issued for, and driver/occupant safety is gravely affected because this issue can cause stalling, poor throttle response, inability to start, and general poor driveability which seriously affects safety and cause a crash or cause driver to be unable to avoid a crash or other danger. Ford motor CO and Ford dealer refuses to accept responsibility for this issue and will not offer any assistance for repair. As of 10/29/24 the vehicle has not been repaired yet, and vehicle and parts are available for inspection.

I had this vehicle for only a year. I loved it. It then blew up and burned my house down. I lost everything.

My 2015 Ford Edge was in my garage. I opened the garage door to leave and started the vehicle. It said my hatchback was open . I got out to shut it and left the driver door open. Upon closing the hatch my vehicle began rolling backwards. I was hit in the leg and shoulder while getting out of the way of the car. I also sustained cuts on my hand from the open car door. We have a steep approach to our garage and live on an acreage with timber. The vehicle rolled down the approach to the garage and into and through the timber before it hit a tree big enough to stop it. At the body shop the repairman said he moved the car and put it in park and got out but the car then began rolling back on him as well. He was able to get in and stop it. Insurance has declared the car a total loss. I saw some 2015 Edge vehicles had recalls for possibly rolling after being put in park. The NHTSA campaign id is 22v413000. My VIN number was not included in the recall so I wanted to report it in case it should have been.

Rear sunroof shattered spontaneously.

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.

*rear window shattered. Yes for inspection if done in next couple days before repair. *loud bang was startling. Thought someone hit me. Yet.

I called killeen -Ford servlce department and spoke to a lady to make an appointment for my recall but I was told I don't have an active recall for this vehicle. I called Ford hq customer relationship right away and verified the recall and it is still active recall. I was unable to make an appt for the recall. Now my questions are; how can I trust Ford in city of killeen that they fixed previous recall ? how do I know that they will fix this current recall? putting others life in danger no have excuse! I will keep a copy of this message for legal complain thank you very much perktas, cihan 254-458-9887.

All lug nuts have swollen and do not allow me to change my own tires. I was left on the side of the road for four hours because the tire changing items Ford placed in my vehicle would not work on the swollen lug nuts. I had the vehicle towed to a tire shop and had to pay to replace all 20 lug nuts.

Engine check has been on for the last month. Prior to that the light was on with an error code p1450 stating I need to replace the evan vap canister, which was done yet the light after only a day came back on. Now the engine check light is stating p0456 and anytime I go to fill up the car turns off and needs to be jump started.

Our vehicle was making very loud noises and the cooling fan kept running. We took the car to the Ford dealership as it has some recalls that needed to be fixed and we needed some general maintenance performed. The dealer let us know that the water pump had a crack and needed to be repaired immediately. I looked online and it appears that this is a known issues with Ford vehicles. This was a very costly repair because they had to take out the engine to be able to reach the water pump. We were advised that if this was not repaired the leak could reach the engine and cause total failure. This amounted to $3166. 71 for labor and parts. Https://topclassactions.

I took my vehicle into Ford dealership (bay ridge, brooklyn, NY) for service on recall parts (brake hose and gear shifter bushings). Now, just 3 weeks later I have problems with water pump as engine coolant is steadily leaking out. The Ford dealership has a bad reputation and they claimed to have done an inspection on my vehicle before I picked it up, and problems with water pump were never mentioned. When my vehicle over heated , while driving, I pulled aside to let my engine cool off. I towed my vehicle to my local mechanic. My vehicle needs a new water pump. This is an expensive repair I cannot afford. Ford should have mentioned this to me during their inspection. I have read about class actions lawsuits against Ford for faulty water pumps on Ford vehicles.

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.

I received a customer satisfaction program notice in June 2023 #22n12 regarding the flex plate, transmission fluid pump and torque converter but the 100% coverage ended on 2/28/23. I was told by Ford on 7/3/23 that I should have received the notification in September 2022 but I did not. The representative told me that others have reported same problem in the last week or so. The complaint number given to me by Ford is cas43676484. I also submitted another complaint with NHTSA. Gov number 11530072. I am unable to pay for this repair due to being on ss disability since 2017 and also becoming a widow on 2/12/22. Please contact me with any available assistance with these issues which I was not properly notified of and am suffering hardship due to problems known by Ford with my vehicle I purchased in good faith.

While driving forward at various speeds (usually above 35 mph) the backup camera will engage and the transmission indicator will become blank (from "d") - and wrench warning light came on during most recent events. It has happened about a dozen times sporadically over the past year and lasts for half minute to several minutes. It happens without warning. Dealer at first told me they could not analyze the problem unless they saw it happen. In oct 22 when car was in shop for 2 other recall repairs, dealer said they would analyze it, charged me $145 with notation: 'checked for codes and found p0709 in continuous memory. Ppt instructs to clear codes and test drive. Test drove 5 miles and found concern did not return at this time. Gave est on tr sensor due to suspected intermittent internal fault. " I declined paying for repair because this does not seem to be normal wear and tear and I am doing nothing to cause the problem with how I operate the car.

Water pump failed. This has been confirmed by an independent service center. Found this issues as the car leaked entire reseviour of coolant. Fortunately this was found while the car was parked. However the issue makes the car immediate undriveable to prevent further damage and has to be towed. Were it not found while parked, the engine would have completely shut down in motion. Approximately a $2,500 repair as it currenlty sits.

Moonroof stuck open. Motor will not work. Cannot close moonroof or shade. I had to use a tarp to cover the hole in the roof until I could get it to the dealer to close the roof. They charged me $114. 40 plus tax. They advised I not try to open it again because it may never close. Sea breeze Ford mechanic told me the repair would be between $2k and $7k. This is outrageous. My personal mechanic said I should contact Ford directly for a resolution. I did and they said there is nothing they can do since there is no recall at the moment. I am now contacting your department for help.

My car rolled back in the park position and shows to be in reverse and will no longer turn on to drive and the gears are are stuck in reverse. Vehicle is no longer drivable and the recall is not until December to be fixed. I am out of vehicle and Ford will not provide me with a loaner car. I do not know what to do.

The rear liftgate closes unexpectedly. If gives a warning sound which you can hear if you're not in a noisy area and then closes. I've been struck several times but managed to get out of the way. The liftgate sensor has been replaced but the finicky liftgate is still malfunctioning. I am unable to stop it from closing and it won't open again until it has latched. The torque on this could break a bone. I've read many stories of this happening to other Ford owners who've received concussions. This could kill someone.

We have had the Ford Edge for 2 and half years. In that time we have had to replace the oil pan and get it resealed 7 or 8 times. This is because it starts to leak because the seal goes bad. It is a liquid seal and a plastic oil pan. Ford knows this is a known issue but will not recall it.
