6 Body problem of the 2023 Ford Edge

Failure Date: 10/25/2025

The vehicle automatically locks the doors when you begin driving. We were aware that when stopped the doors would automatically unlock when you tried to open them but have found that this can also happen while driving. While driving our daughter pulled on her door handle which caused the door to unlock, then pulled the handle again and was able to open the door enough to trigger the door ajar warning which alerted us to the situation. While we were able to engage the child lock to prevent this from happening again, it is concerning that pulling on the handle would cause the door to unlock when the vehicle is not in park as that can create a dangerous situation very easily.

13 Body problem of the 2019 Ford Edge

Failure Date: 11/26/2024

2019 Ford Edge titanium rear lift gate glass shatters. The rear lift gate glass of a 2019 Ford Edge titanium shattered by simply and normally closing the driver side door without warning or symptoms. There was no impact of any object with the lift gate glass. Rear glass defogging heat was not on at the time. This rendered the vehicle unsafe to drive and cost the owner roughly $1000 to repair. It was not inspected by the manufacturer, but repairs were made by an authorized Ford dealer. Local news channel ran a news story piece on similar occurrences, so it is believed this is not a random occurrence.

14 Body problem of the 2017 Ford Edge

Failure Date: 10/25/2024

My 2017 Ford Edge sport has the exploding panoramic moonroof. The first incident - the car was parked and the front movable glass panel was cracked (see picture 1). No objects hit the glass. The second incident occurred while was wife was driving on the interstate at 75mph. It sounded like a gun shot - glass exploded into the passenger compartment - luckily the sunvisor was closed or my wife and her parents in the backseat would have been sprayed with broken glass (see pictures 2 and 3). No objects hit the glass - there were no other vehicles around her at the time of the incident. We have now replaced the movable glass panel twice at a total cost of $2500 -- via insurance with our deducible of $1000. And now - the rear non-movable glass panel is cracked! it just won't end! the 1st incident was about oct. 25, 2024- the 2nd incident was around may 9, 2025.

16 Body problem of the 2019 Ford Edge

Failure Date: 10/15/2024

Engine: severe surging at low power settings, especially during engine warm-up. This surging is not related to air conditioner compressor cycling on/off, or turbo lag. Body: rear hatch "kick to open" feature often activates suddenly without warning and without a deliberate kick motion by operator. This feature cannot be disabled; only the actuator can be disabled using instrument panel menus. This creates a condition where any inadvertent "open" command using any device will unlatch, but not open, the hatch. This can lead to loss of internal security and/or driving with an unlatched hatch. Thank you.

The liftgate has a sensor so that you can place you foot under the vehicle to open or close the liftgate. The sensor is too sensitive and even if do not put your foot under the vehicle the liftgate closes on your head or shoulder when you are putting things in or out of the rear area. The liftgate caused a bruise. We took the vehicle in for repair and they said the sensors were fine. The is very dangerous and can cause serve injuries.

After waiting for a while the contact was able to restart the vehicle with the push to start button. The vehicle was taken to the dealer to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the electrical wiring underneath the rear panel was damaged due to water leaking into the compartment. The rear panel was replaced to prevent further failure. The contact was unsure if the wiring had been replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and confirmed the VIN was not under recall. The manufacturer referred the contact to the NHTSA hotline to report the failure. The failure mileage was 119,000.

26 Body problem of the 2024 Ford Edge

Failure Date: 04/28/2024

Vehicle has hands free liftgate operation by waving feet under bumper. The liftgate will also close if you are loading cargo toward front of compartment and your feet inadvertently trigger sensor. The closing tone is weak and cannot be heard if there is any outside noise. Liftgate has closed on my back at least 4 times and my wife at least 3 times in the 4 weeks we have had the vehicle. If a small child were to be climbing in the back with the hatch open they could be seriously injured or even killed by the closing hatch. Even if an adult happens to have their hand in the hatch opening and the hatch inadvertently closed undetected serious injury could occur. I see no conceivable reason for having the hatch close by waving your feet under the bumper. The electric hatch can be disabled, but there are no provisions to disable only the motion auto open/close feature. I contacted Ford customer care and they filed an internal report and suggested I file a complaint with NHTSA.

35 Body problem of the 2018 Ford Edge

Failure Date: 06/20/2023

The glass sunroof has spontaneous wavy cracking throughout 50% of the front portion. I am concerned about the integrity of the glass, as well as the safety of myself and passengers in the vehicle. There was no apparent point of impact; it appears to be a tempering/temperature issue. No warning lights, messages, etc. Were present. I noticed the issue upon opening the shade screen below the roof, which I haven't opened for a few weeks. I am not sure of the exact date that the cracking began. I will keep a close eye on it to see if the surface area increases.
