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.

I am submitting this complaint regarding my 2019 Ford Edge, which now requires a full transmission replacement despite having fewer than 90,000 miles. A major transmission failure at this mileage is highly abnormal for a vehicle of this age and maintenance history. Prior to the failure, I experienced shuddering and irregular shifting, yet the vehicle’s warning lamps did not consistently illuminate to indicate that there was a problem. The lack of warning indicators prevented early detection and contributed to the severity of the issue. I received a repair estimate from Don Seelye Ford in Kalamazoo, MI, totaling $11,534.07 for the transmission replacement and related service. This cost is excessive and entirely unexpected for a vehicle with under 90,000 miles, and it places a significant financial burden on me as the owner. Given the premature nature of this failure, the safety concerns it created, and the extremely high repair cost, I am requesting a full review of this matter and consideration for assistance or coverage.

Vehicle had a studdering problem, spark plugs replaced, dealership said the spark plugs were masking an “underlying issue with the transmission shudder and torque converter and transmission was at the end of its life”. The unknown of the state of the transmission is the safety concern to me and others. The vehicle has been inspected by Ed Morse Ford. There was no indication other than shudder on acceleration, until the dealership looked at it. The shudder recently started end of August 2025, and has gradually gotten worse until taking to dealership (October 13 2025)

The car's back up camera fails (no picture, only snow) when below 40 degrees or above 90 degrees. This has been occurring for years. There is a recall for 2021 Ford Edges for back up camera failures - it should be extended to 2019 or earlier.

My car started jerking when I drive and it would stall. I went to the dealership and at first they stated that it was probably nothing. They told me I can leave it with them but it would take 2 weeks to be assessed. I was responsible for my own rental car during this "assessment period". After the assessment they determined it was the transmission and it had to be totally rebuilt and it would take another 2 week. Despite fortunately being under power train warranty, the dealership would only cover part of the rental for another 2 weeks.

For several months, my vehicle had been shaking while driving and when idle; felt as though the transmission was slipping. When reported to the dealership and after constantly having the vehicle serviced, no issue could be found. Recently the vehicle stalled while attempting to reverse. The vehicle had to be turned off and restarted before the gears could be switched properly. No indicator lights came on before or after the incident. The vehicle was taken to the dealership and diagnostics resulted in the following: "Torque converter shutter gears 4 & 5 slipping. Abnormal signals and solenoid. Metal debris found in fluid. Replacement of transmission suggested." The advisor stated that the vehicle is unsafe to drive until the transmission has been replaced.

Transmission failed due to issue with planetary gear. According to the mechanics, this is not a part that can be accessed or maintained by the consumer. Yet the entire transmission is shot because of it. Cost to repair is $12,000. Ford is paying $5,000. Shouldn't they pay more since it's a defective part? I see reports of transmission issues across Ford Edge models.

I purchased vehicle 4/11/2023 with 41,000 miles. I started to experience concerns with acceleration periodically and clunking in the rear end prior to warranty ending, ford dealership inspector stated that they didn’t find anything. After 80, 000 miles it occurred more often, shuttering between 2-3rmps. Lack of ability to accelerate was a safety concern. A different Ford Dealership inspector reported torque converter clutch stuck open and circuit.Fluid drained indicating debris and heavy metallic and dark, prior to recommended ford manual service.

The vehicle is only five years old with only approx. 47,000 miles on it and we had to have the transmission replaced in September 2024. It's primarily used for driving locally but every year we use it to take a vacation but normally don't put more than 400-500 miles on it during the trip. The Ford dealership we had the transmission replaced at stated it was a factory defect yet we never received any notice about any kind of recall and the dealership we bought it from never mentioned anything about it. Having to have the transmission replaced with so few miles seems pretty odd.

While driving on a 65 mph road the car quit accelerating and the speed dropped quickly. This unexpected change in speed experienced by a young driver almost caused her to be rear ended and others to have an accident swerving around her. The check engine light came on right as this happened. Dealership replaced EGR Cooler but it did not fix the problem. Vehicle is jerking and shuddering during acceleration.

My Ford Edge 2019 only has 68,000 miles and I felt it jerking at 30 mph. I checked with Ford, there is no recall. A transmission shop says the whole thing needs to be replaced because Ford uses cheaper parts on the transmission. Total cost will be $8,000. For a car with low miles. Online forums shows a lot of people have the same issues. Can they be forced to recall these?? Or help me pay for mine to be fixed?

The panoramic Sunroof/Moonroof exploded/imploded while driving at highway speed on interstate 75 in Kentucky. The sound created by the event was terrifying! I thought either a bomb had explode or a high powered bullet had struck the vehicle. A few glass shards got into the cabin, the sunscreen was closed at the time which prevented most of the broken glass from injuring anyone. The vehicle was inspected by a Ford company body shop and one insurance representative. There were no warning or symptoms prior the the failure.
