2 Equipment problem of the 2020 Ford Edge

Failure Date: 05/05/2026

I was driving on the highway with my husband and our dog when out of nowhere the panoramic sunroof exploded. We were traveling home and could have been in an accident when it occurred because it sounded like a gunshot hit the car. If we had not been calm during the incident, not only our lives but the lives of everyone around us could have been affected. There were no warnings about this and when we purchased the vehicle in 2023 the dealership didn’t even say anything about a possiblity of this happening. I did research after it happened to make sure there wasn’t a recall we missed and I came across lawsuits because of this.

9 Equipment problem of the 2015 Ford Edge

Failure Date: 03/22/2026

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.

10 Equipment problem of the 2017 Ford Edge

Failure Date: 03/16/2026

No incident has happened yet, my complaint it that there is a safety recall that can affect the rear brake lines on my vehicle, and if the fail it could cause an accident. This vehicle is 9 years old and there still is no solution available from the manufacturer!!! this certainly doesn't seem like a timely way to address a brake related safety recall.

11 Equipment problem of the 2019 Ford Edge

Vehicle has 78000 miles on it and has started to stutter/struggle to find gears between what I believe to be 3rd and 5th gear. It generally happens between 25-40 mph. This has consistently happened whether the vehicle is cold or warm. This, according to many forums I’ve seen, is a common issue with this model of vehicle and transmission. It was brought into my local Ford dealership on 2/17/2026 with approximately 75000 miles on it and they told us we are in need of a transmission replacement.

24 Equipment problem of the 2018 Ford Edge

Failure Date: 01/29/2026

Ford has recalled over 2. 9 million vehicles, including 2015–2018 Ford Edge models, due to a faulty transmission shifter cable bushing that can degrade and detach. This defect may prevent the vehicle from shifting into the intended gear (specifically park), creating a risk of unexpected rollaway and injury. I almost had a bad car accident my. Car was in park and started rolling backwards making this loud screeching noise this was after the recall was allegedly repaired and now they wont fix the issue and its affected the transmission. . . There were no warning messages at all. . Ford is telling me I have to pay 7,200 dollars for a repair they didn't fix properly now I cant even drive my car its still in their possession.

Coolant entered into the engine, causing catastrophic failure. There was no warning on the dash of low coolant or anything until it happened.

28 Equipment problem of the 2017 Ford Edge

Failure Date: 01/21/2026

At this point, I have been told to come in for a diagnostic check (my time off from work), but no parts and cannot fix it if the brake hose is leaking, my rear view camera is acting up at least on a weekly basis, can be at times more often then that, and they do not have the parts, also Ford is not making the parts at this time per warrentary employee at the dealership. ???? so consumer safety with Ford is - do not care about customer safety? I have to stop and take time for a diagnostic check, to be told yes or no if yes nothing can be done, if no let's say in a week it start to leak, again the parts are no being made at this time my recall letter is from 9/1/2025 over 5 months almost half a year and parts are not being made??? increase in stopping distance increases the risk of a crash. I thought customer safety was to protect from physical harm, Ford is not doing this so now , was I sold a lemon that cannot be fixed? try backing up from the driveway into the cudelsac and viewing for kids, and pets then all of a sudden camera jumps to moving lines and scares the crap out of you making you jump (while driving) please assist me understanding why part are not being made for these Ford Edges I know I am not the only Ford Edge on the road I see them when I am on the road. Can we please ensure not just drivers of the Ford Edge safety the to potential damage and injuries to the other vehicle or pedestrian that could be hit by these recall Ford Edges with no repairs in site or parts being made.

29 Equipment problem of the 2019 Ford Edge

Failure Date: 01/03/2026

Have only had 2019 Ford Edge sel for just about 3yrs. . Around the middle of Nov, 2025 vehicle started sputting/jerking up to about 40mph then would drive fine at higher speeds. . . While driving over the weekend Jan 3rd 2026 vehicle started smoking extremely bad, no check engine light to let me know anything was wrong, still no lights at this time. . . Had to abruptly stop on the highway to merge over to get to the side safely thinking any minute vehicle could catch fire. Assuming it was a oil leak, had it towed to the mechanic shop where I was informed it was transmission fluid everywhere. After looking up systems I came across a forum where owners of this vehicle are calling for recall for the exact same problem. Mechanic stated take to Ford dealership bc these Edges have had transmission issues and he didn't want to replace converter or any other part then months later need new transmission which he quoted at 9600. Not only my safety was put at risk but every person on the road that day, it was smoking so bad couldn't see clearly out winshield, people honking telling me vehicle was on fire underneath. After all the chaos, fluid everywhere, smoke, burnt smell, jerking, ect. . Still no alert on dash of any kind!.

31 Equipment problem of the 2022 Ford Edge

Failure Date: 12/31/2025

To whom it may concern, I am writing to formally report an ongoing and concerning issue with my 2022 Ford Edge. My vehicle has begun hesitating when pressing the accelerator and jerking between 20 mph and 40 mph. Some days the issue is worse than others, but it has progressively made the vehicle feel unreliable and unsafe to drive. At times, it feels as though the vehicle may break down while in motion. After researching this issue, I have found that many other Ford Edge owners are experiencing the same symptoms, with the torque converter frequently identified as the cause. This appears to be a widespread and recurring problem rather than an isolated incident. Additionally, the vehicle will coast between approximately 2,000 and 5,000$. This behavior is not normal and raises serious concerns regarding drivability, safety, and long-term damage to the transmission. Given how common this issue appears to be among Ford Edge vehicles, I strongly believe this warrants further investigation and the establishment of a recall. Owners should not be financially responsible for a known and recurring manufacturing defect. I am requesting that Ford address this issue promptly and take responsibility for repairs associated with this problem. I appreciate your time and look forward to a resolution. Sincerely, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

32 Equipment problem of the 2019 Ford Edge

Failure Date: 12/28/2025

At approximately 10:30 a. M. On 12/28/2025, while traveling on the highway, the panoramic sunroof of my 2019 Ford Edge sel spontaneously exploded without warning. The failure was accompanied by a sound similar to a gunshot. The weather was clear and sunny, with an ambient outdoor temperature of approximately 20°f. The vehicle had been pre-warmed, and the interior climate control was set to 73°f. There were no vehicles immediately in front of me, no overhead bridges, and no evidence of road debris or external impact. Upon the failure, the tempered glass shattered completely, the majority of the glass was forced into the passenger cabin, landing primarily in the backseat. This created an immediate safety hazard, distraction, and risk of injury from glass debris while maintaining vehicle control at high speeds. There is no "impact crater" or point of origin suggesting a rock chip as the front portion of the roof shattered completely; the glass appears to have failed due to internal tension or thermal stress. I am reporting this as a structural defect of the vista roof glass assembly.

33 Equipment problem of the 2022 Ford Edge

Failure Date: 12/18/2025
