This vehicle has a couple of problems I am concerned about. First, when you roll down the windows, reach speeds of 30+ miles per hour, then try to roll the windows up, it creates a terrible vacuum pressure inside of the car. This pressure always makes my ears hurt, and I believe May be damaging my eardrums. I find it disturbing that as a consumer, I can not roll down the windows of my car in acclimate weather, because of the pressure that is created inside of the car when I do so. Also, I don't know if others have had the same problem, but this car is a shock hazard. I am constantly getting shocked every time I close the door of this car. It is a concern, and I always worry that when I go to a gas station it will create a spark (god-forbid). I have no contacted Ford motor company, but I have every intention on doing so. …
2007 Ford Edge with vista roof glass top. While driving at highway speed my front glass panel exploded and scattered glass shards down the back of the vehicle. Since dealing with the Ford dealer and company there is no indication that this is a common problem. However, after doing some research on the internet, I have found several instances of this reported (http://townhall-talk.edmunds.com/direct/view/.f0fd566) since we had the inside panel closed no one was hurt. Besides the noise scaring the driver I imagine that if the panel is open this could be very dangerous. The car is still in for repair and am told replacement part(s) is on order from out of state. This problem seems to continue into at least the 2008 models.
Design flaw windshield ! You can not see out of the windshield at any time of the day, morning, or dusk! There is a total mirror image of the dash-board in the windshield from side to side and top to bottom! You must where shaded sun glasses to drive this car even at night and when there is no sun shining!!!!!!??????? I have had numberious e-mails and visits to Ford with no results. This is going to cause a an accident as you can not see out of the corner of the windshield. I visited our local state police office, and they have no answers, except that is against the law to darken the windshield ! No one wants to commit themselves or admit this is not a normal problem, as I do believe this is common on crossovers.
2007 Ford Edge with factory vista roof (moon roof). Vista roof shattered while driving down the road. No traffic around, nothing hit the sunroof, it just completely shattered. Luckily I had the shade closed or my wife and I would have been seriously injured. Service department at lasco Ford in fenton michigan believed it was due to the extreme cold outside mixed with the warm air inside. They could not get Ford to cover the defect, though, as they haven't had a problem yet with the vista roof. I had to file an insurance claim. This is unacceptable and Ford needs to look into this issue before someone seriously gets injured.
