2018 Ford Edge

REAR WINDOW SHATTERED WITHOUT WARNING AS VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. SPEED WAS LESS THAN 15 MPH WHILE EXITING A PARKING LOT, APPROACHING STOP SIGN. WINDOW GLASS RAINED INTO VEHICLE IN SMALL PIECES. VEHICLE HAD ONLY 22,000 MILES WITH EXTENDED WARRANTY. FORD REFUSED TO COVER REPAIR. ATTACHED PHOTOS SHOW EXTENT OF GLASS LOSS AND SIZE OF PIECES.

BRAKES ARE TOO SENSITIVE (GRABBING) AT LOW SPEED, ESPECIALLY AFTER SITTING OVERNIGHT. A VERY SLIGHT TOUCH OF THE BRAKE PEDAL WILL CAUSE THE CAR TO IMMEDIATELY STOP AND ANYONE IN THE CAR WILL SLIDE FORWARD IN THEIR SEAT IF NOT OUT OF THE SEAT. THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH BOTH MYSELF AND MY WIFE DRIVING THE CAR. IF I DRIVE THE CAR AND STOMP ON THE BRAKES A FEW TIMES IT SEEMS TO GET A LITTLE BETTER. BUT IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR PEOPLE INSIDE THE CAR AND IF A CAR IS FOLLOWING CLOSELY DUE TO THE ABRUPT UNCONTROLLABLE STOP.

ON JULY 25TH 2019 I WAS LEAVING I40/I85WHEN I HEARD THE LOUDEST EXPLOSION. ON INSPECTION MY BACK, DRIVERS SIDE PASSENGER WIDOW HAD BLOWN OUT. THE POLICE CM AND CHECKED MY CAR AND NO PROJECTILE WAS FOUND. MY PAINTWORK ON THAT DOOR IS ALL DAMAGED WHERE THE GLASS FLEW OUT. LUCKILY NOBODY WAS IN THAT SEAT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AS ITS UNDER WARRANTY AND HE AGREED WITH ME AND SAID HE HAD SEEN THIS HAPPEN BEFORE. FORD WILL NOT ENTERTAIN THAT THE GLASS WAS FAULTY AND HAVE SAID NO TO MY REPAIR. IF YOU POST PROBLEMS IN THE FORD FACEBOOK PAGE THEY CONSTANTLY DELET THEM TO HIDE ANY ISSUES FROM OTHERS. THERE SEEMS TO BE OTHERS ON FORUMS WITH THIS CAR AND OTHERS FROM FORD 'S WITH FACTORY TINTED GLASS HAVING BLOW OUT ISSUES. IF THE THIS HAD HAPPENED IN MY DOOR I WOULD HAVE LOST CONTROL OF MY CAR. THIS NEED LOOKING INTO.

ON JULY 12, 2019 I WAS DRIVING MY 2018 FORD EDGE THAT I PURCHASED ON SEPTEMBER 3, 2018, 75 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE AND MY PANORAMIC SUNROOF EXPLODED. THERE WERE THREE ADULTS IN THE CAR AND FORTUNATELY, NO ONE WAS INJURED, BUT WERE SHOWERED WITH PIECES AND SHARDS OF GLASS, ESPECIALLY THE PASSENGER IN THE BACK SEAT. THROUGH CONVERSATIONS WHILE RECALLING THE INCIDENT AMONGST THE THREE OF US, THERE WAS A LOUD POP AND THEN IT SHATTERED. TO OUR BEST KNOWLEDGE, NOTHING HIT THE SUNROOF. I HAD TO HAVE MY VEHICLE TOWED AS THERE WAS SO MUCH GLASS THAT IT WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. THE FIRST DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT DUE TO SCRATCH ON SUNROOF AND THE AIR CONDITIONER BEING ON, THIS CAUSED CABIN PRESSURE AND ULTIMATELY THE EXPLOSION OF THE SUNROOF. WE DID HAVE IT TOWED TO OUR DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAY SOMETHING HIT IT TO MAKE IT SHATTER. BOTH DEALERSHIPS TOLD ME THAT IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER MY WARRANTY SO I DID TURN IT IN TO MY INSURANCE. I FIND IT IRONIC THAT THEY HAD DIFFERING CONCLUSIONS. NEEDLESS TO SAY, THIS HAS BEEN AN UNFORTUNATE LEARNING LESSON. AS OF NOW, I DO NOT HAVE MY VEHICLE BACK, 16 DAYS LATER. I HAVE EXPRESSED MY DISAPPOINTMENT WITH MY DEALERSHIP AND WILL ALSO FILE A COMPLAINT WITH FORD, BUT KNOW NOTHING WILL HAPPEN. I APPRECIATE THAT I AM ABLE TO FILE THIS COMPLAINT AND HOPE THAT ANY OTHERS THAT THIS HAPPENS TO WILL DO THEIR RESEARCH AND KNOW THAT IN ORDER FOR A CHANGE, A REPORT TO YOU NEEDS TO HAPPEN.

WHILE TRAVELLING IN THE LEFT LANE, OF A THREE LANE HIGHWAY, NEXT TO A SEMI-TRACTOR TRAILER, THE TRUCK CHANGED LANES INTO MY LANE. I WAS FULLY IN THE LANE WHEN HE SIGNALED A CHANGE AND BEGAN TO MOVE OVER. I ACTIVATED THE VEHICLE HORN AND BRAKED HARD BUT, IT WAS APPARENT THAT HE NEVER HEARD THE HORN AS THE OPERATOR CONTINUED INTO MY LANE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE IN THE LAST YEAR. (SAME SCENARIO) (THE VEHICLE HORN IS ABOUT AS LOUD AS A 1965 VW BEETLE.) I BROUGHT THIS FORD EDGE TO SUNNY SIDE MOTORS, HOLDEN, MA. I WAS INFORMED, AND PROVIDED A FORD COMPUTER PRINTOUT THAT THIS THAT THIS YEAR 2018 EDGE, HAD ONE OF THE TWO HORNS DELETED BY THE MANUFACTURER. INSTEAD OF THE TWO, HI/LO HORNS PROVIDED ON THIS AND ALL OTHER VEHICLES FOR MANY MANY YEARS, MY 2018 EDGE HAS ONLY ONE HORN. THIIS HORN IS ABSOLUTELY ANEMIC AND CAN NOT BE HEARD IN TRAFFIC AND I BELIEVE THIS IS AN UNACCEPTABLE, SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. HAD IT NOT BEEN FOR MY SKILLED EMERGENCY EVASIVE MANEUVERS, THERE SURELY COULD HAVE HAD DISASTROUS RESULTS. ( I HAVE HAD MANY YEARS TRAINING IN EMERGENCY VEHICLE OPERATION.) THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD!!!!!

CPSC: I OWN A 2018 FORD EDGE THAT HAS A HANDS FREE LIFT GATE. WHILE THE GATE IS OPEN AND I AM LOADING OR REMOVING CARGO FROM THE CARGO AREA, THE LIFT GATE CLOSES ON ITS OWN. THE FIRST IT CLOSED I BACKED QUICKLY BUT DID NOT LOWER MY QUICK ENOUGH FROM BANGING IT REAL HARD WHICH LUCKILY ONLY RESULTED IN A LUMP ON THE BACK OF MY HEAD. *DT THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE DEALER WAS UNAWARE OF HOW TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE.*JS

WHILE ON A 2 1/2 HR TRIP ON THE HIGHWAY, THE HEATER IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT GOT SO HOT I HAVE SECOND DEGREE BURNS ON MY UPPER LEG AND BUTTOCK. SO FAR, IT HAS REQUIRED TO VISITS TO MY DOCTOR FOR TREATMENT. THE MANAGER AT THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE TELLS ME HE HAS NEVER HEARD OF A HEATER GETTING THAT HOT, AND DOES NOT BELIEVE THAT IS HOW I WAS BURNED. THEY SAID THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT AND THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING TO ENSURE IT DOES NOT HAPPEN AGAIN.
