On [XXX], while driving from Delaware to Massachusetts in her 2024 Ford Edge (purchased new in April 2024, now with roughly 19,800 miles on the odometer) on [XXX] in New Jersey, my wife experienced the cloth-panel shade of the "Panoramic Vista Roof" fall onto her. Obviously, this was a complete surprise and very dangerous to her in the control of the vehicle. She stated that about a week prior to the collapse of the shade, there had been some rattling coming from an undetermined area in the car. The Massachusetts Ford Dealer (Balise Ford - Wilbraham, MA) she brought the vehicle to stated the sunroof falling in was "not the result of a material defect." The dealership replaced the roof opening panel at a cost to us of $1120.00. The defective part was not obtained from the dealer after repair. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Driving down I96 highway, the sunroof/moonroof shattered/exploded with no apparent cause. A loud popping noise followed by spider cracking and fragmenting glass was the result. After closing the top, the glass started to fall. No foreign objects found. Brand new vehicle, first time driving in severely cold weather, brought back to Ford dealership who found "no reports" of defective sunroof/moonroof. There were no cars in front or any overpasses that something could have been dropped from.

The car was loaded with mold throughout. We had to trade it in because it could not be repaired. Now I see the car is on a used car lot at same dealer in Elyria Ohio. This is wrong as the mold made me deathly sick. We had to get rid of lit and took a large loss as to not have the vehicle anymore. This is serious. The mold was all over the car and in the vent system. There was still standing water in the spare compartment and floors and glove box. I put a petri dish in the back seat for an hour which I uploaded.

SEATS

3 complaints

I have a 2024 Ford Edge SEL. The issue is the the driver front and passenger front head rests. The head rest is only adjustable up to down, not forward or back. The current position of the head rest with the seat in normal upright driving position forces your head into your chest and you are looking at the floor with no neck support. There is no position to adequately support your head and neck with the current headrest. It is tilted too far forward toward the windshield. Dealer confirmed. Dealer looked it over and said this is how its made. No warnings. Just the position of the headrest appears to be tilted extraordinarily too far forward. High potential for injury in a crash. What I'd like to see is an alternate Headrest to alleviate the angle the current one poses upon the drive rand passenger.

The drivers side power seat motor appears to be malfunctioning. When the seat is moved, the motor makes a grinding/vibrating noise. It appears to be a defective motor. Ford dealer inspected the car today, and reported upon checking there were no codes when scanned, so the seat could not be repaired. There is concern for safety, as this is the drivers side seat and if the power motor stops functioning after the seat is moved, the driver will be unable to safely drive the vehicle.

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.

Injuries: 1

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.

Good day. I purchased a 2024 Ford Edge SEL in March 2024. I would like to call your attention to the vehicle's horn. I was unable to alert a truck driver who was backing up that he was going to back inro my car. The horn for the vehicle is extremely weak, in fact too weak to be audible to a driver in front of you who has their car windows closed. It is inaudible in that instance nor is it audible over traffic noise or rain. In my case, the only thing that stopped the truck continuing its reversing was my vehicle - he couldn't continue moving. It resulted in $5,800.00 front-end damage to my vehicle.

VISIBILITY/WIPER

The driver's side view mirror glass has been distorted/warped since I bought the vehicle new. It jeopardizes my safety every time I drive the vehicle as I feel like I need extra time to focus when looking at my mirror because of the distortion. I have taken my vehicle to 2 different Ford dealerships, 1 said that they didn't see an issue and the other one verbally said that they could see some distortion but it did not justify them to do a replacement but that glass degrades over time and to just ask them to check the mirror next time when I get an oil change so that they can test to see if it's bad enough to justify a replacement. They would not give me that statement in writing. Also, as I write this I have a friend whose from out of State visiting me and they rented a car (same exact car, a 2024 Ford Edge) and I looked at the driver's side mirror on that one and the glass was perfect... So I now know for a fact my vehicle has defective glass and Ford doesn't want to do anything about it, instead my family and my safety is jeopardized each and every time I drive the vehicle due to a blurry driver's side mirror. I wish I could get a good picture of it but the distortion doesn't show up on my camera, but it is indeed there. It's hard to explain but when I look at it, it's as if I'm wearing out of focus glasses and as I mentioned earlier, I don't feel that's safe.

1. This issue is with the image produced by the backup camera as its image is dim and not very clear, especially at night. At daytime the image is also dim. I had 3 previous models of the same Ford Edge Titanium 2013, 2016 & 2019 all had a similar backup camera albeit with the image on a smaller screen and never had an issue with the brightness/ clarity of the image. The issue I'm reporting is on a brand new 2024 Ford Edge Titanium with a much larger and screen, the car has 850 miles on it as of today, the issue was apparent from day one after I took delivery but took it in to investigate the issue on 9/13/2023 - 2. It is becomes very obvious that something is wrong every time I back up from my driveway at night, the same poorly lit image appears. This a serious issue. - 3. I took it into the dealership where I bought it from. They could see my complaint and even compared it to a 2023 model, the images were the same, dim. The service department reported to me today that they discussed my issue with Ford who had no fix for it nor did they hear of such a complain before and suggested that the brightness on the screen be adjusted which the dealer technician did but did not produce any change to the image. - 4. No warning lights or signs of malfunction appeared on the screen before or after.
