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'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.
Ford edge as far as I'm aware, have many complaints with a cracked rear taillight which builds up with water and condensation. My 2015 Ford Edge SEL has had this problem. I was told by an auto body repair shop many customers encounter this problem, it is a manufacturer defect and ford won't hold responsibility and announce this as a recall.
The car has multiple rust locations on the car and peeling at an alarming rate. Vehicle is available for inspection. In reviewing the origin report; it appears the car was built from scrape and unknown to purchaser. Door may fall off! Inspected by Liberty Ford. Sold at well above lot price. No recall yet. Door may fall off etc.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 Ford Edge.

After owning my car for only 16 months, the panoramic sunroof on my 2015 Ford Edge titanium cracked completely down the length as well as across the width of the entire roof. Neither the car nor roof had not been struck by anything - it was very obviously a stress fractures. It was a warm sunny spring day, and the car had been just sitting in front of my house. When I drew back the sunroof shade, I saw the roof completely cracked side to side and front to back. I very carefully drove to my Ford dealership. The service department insisted that a rock or something hit it and refused to do anything to help replace it. I had to have a body shop replace the sunroof and my insurance company covered remaining $800 of the $1300 cost after I paid the $500 deductible. My auto insurance has now gone up several hundred dollars because they considered it an "accident" which it was not! …
From the date we bought our Ford Edge we have had white particles, dust and dirt coming in from all of the door seals and rear back hatch. The white particles are all through the vehicle. There is a brown dust or dirt on the top of the passenger seat and rear passenger seat and on the head rests for both seats. The dirt and dust makes me cough a lot, ( no one has ever smoked in the car ). It feels like we are inside of a vacuum cleaner disposable bag. We believe none of the seals on any of the doors work properly. When we first got the car, a burning smell was coming from the passenger side of the vehicle. A new exhaust system was put on the car a month after we bought it. That problem with the burning smell went away. We were told by the fourth dealership that we took the vehicle to that all the seals on the doors and back hatch would have to be replaced, but that never came about. …
Takara recall I have had continuous issues with my 2015 Edge with the doors becoming ajar. The first time I was stuck in below zero conditions, without being able to have my heart on close my doors or lock them. If that wasnt enough, I had to call a tow truck because my car battery died as a result of being able to close the doors. This has happened countless times and now again I have another issue but the lift gate is ajar. This time however the car is still driving. How can Ford not recall this? You say it isn't a safety issue but I could have froze to death, been seriously injured when I'm driving and the door suddenly flies open. Correct this. I will end up filing a lawsuit if anything happens again. I just bought this car a year ago. You cannot justify a $40,000 car not being able to open or close my doors or trunk. Get it figured out or I will be contacting someone who will. …
