Every time after hard acceleration (engine RPM > 4000), the interior air vents automatically open for 5 to 10 seconds (when the HVAC is off) to let cool air in and then air vents close off. Afterwards, there is really a strong exhaust gas smell fill up the cabin of the Edge St. Really unbearable.

When doing a hard accelerating, for example passing a vehicle or speeding up to enter a highway, a odor like smell like exhast fumes fills the cabin. The odor cannot be seen but it does smell, sometimes the smells goes away quickly and other times it will linger for over 10 seconds at which point I have to open the windows. While normal driving this does not happen. Both my wife and daughter say its bad. I took the vehicle to a Ford dealership and they did nothing.

Rear view camera. The screen went to blue when I put me car in reverse. I backed out of driveway and put car in drive screen went black, then blue. When I came to stop sign the camera came on showing the street behind me. Started driving and camera stayed on while driving. Second stop screen went blue then black. Car is still in drive, proceeded on my way. Camera started flashing between blue, black and showing road behind me. This has happened 3 times once in April, this incident in June and once in August. I did reset to see if that worked and it did for a couple of weeks. With covid-19 restrictions. I am not doing a lot of traveling I can't duplicate it or why it happens, I thought maybe car had to be warm that isn't it. Just when it wants to do it. This also prevents me from using screen for radio or any other controls on the screen. I did report this incident to the dealership where I purchased my car, but never heard back from them at all

On Monday March 9, 2020 as we were travelling North, at approx. 65-mph in the right hand lane of us 41, about 2 miles South of oshkosh.wi, about to exit the expressway, in the rain with the wind blowing from West to East, we experienced a shotgun level explosion going off over our heads (fortunately, the sunscreen was closed so we did not get bathed with glass). We had never once opened the moonroof since we purchased the vehicle in may of '19. I looked out the passenger's side mirror and saw what looked like a swarm of bees blowing off to the right (turned out to be thousands of small pieces of glass from the exploded moonroof). We got the car back home to ann arbor, mi where it was repaired by our Ford dealer. Ford has refused to pay for the repair (even though the vehicle is 9 months old with 16,000 miles on the odometer and still under warranty). Ford claims that something must have hit the roof to damage it. My wife and I were just completing an 8 hour trip in the vehicle where nothing hit the moonroof. There was no damage to either the windshield or to the smaller, rear pane of the moonroof.

I purchased a brand new 2019 Ford Edge with 10 miles on 11/23/2019 from stone mountain Ford (smf) in stone mountain Georgia. Four days later, I went into my garage to get in my car. I noticed the top looked wet... which I thought was strange since it had been parked inside a locked garage all night. I stood on my tiptoes and noticed the roof was strangely cracked with pieces raised up towards the ceiling of the garage. The sunroof had exploded.

I bought a brand new 2019 Ford Edge titanium on July 31, 2019, I have enjoyed the car right up to the moment on October 13, 2019 at approx. 3:30P.M. when my sun/moon roof exploded as I was driving on the highway at 55mph with my adult daughter in the car. I too had the shade closed so we weren't showered in glass. I was so shocked and it took a bit for us to realize what had happened just in time to see a large piece of the glass fly off the top of my car into the air behind me. Thank goodness there were no cars directly behind me. I am more than disappointed in Ford as they are not stepping up on this issue, but rather stated that "something must have hit the sun/moon roof and weakened the glass so it is not an issue that they are responsible for. I know nothing hit the glass and given that it has less then 5000 miles on it, it feels very much like a manufacturer defect problem. After seeing multiple complaints I am even more convinced that Ford should be taking responsibility for this. This was the second car I bought from Ford, the first was a 2014 escape titanium (no sun/moon roof) but I had to have the transmission worked on 3 times and the engine once in the first year. I submitted a complaint to Ford on that and was politely brushed off. Yet I gave them a second chance because I really like the Edge and thought surely it couldn't happen again. Although the issues aren't the same it is very unsettling to be having any issue with my new car. I now feel like I am stuck with a car for the next 6 years that I can't trust. Every time I drive it I'm wondering if it is going to happen again or will it be something else. How many sun/moon roof explosions with potential risk to the people in the car and in the vicinity of the car before Ford takes responsibility for this issue. My opinion of Ford and my local dealership have diminished significantly..

While my mom(who is 82 and it is her car) and I were trying to get items out of her hatch area one of us somehow activated the hands free liftgate. First I heard the chime sound and wondered why it was chiming, then the gate started to come down. I simultaneously tried to push or hold it up as I was pushing my mom out of the way. We both got clear of it, but it completely shut. There needs to be some sensor or something that activates when it feels and object in its path. My mom now will not use her hatch on her brand new 2019 Ford Edge. She had a friend get 26 stiches in her head when her hatch came down on her.

Vehicle horn is barely audible. If on roadway or highway vehicles next to you cannot hear the horn. Vehicle had bracket for two horns but only one is present. Previous 2016 Ford Edge had two horns. Safety isue not having a clearly audible horn. Seems to be a problem with all 2019 / 2019 Edge and Explorer models.

2/5/19, attempted to use parallel park assist for the first time. Following prompts on the display, pulled forward and stopped. Next screen prompted to remove hands from steering wheel, vehicle proceeded to back up slowly and turned into designated space, car accelerated with no time to apply brakes and impacted car parked behind me and stalled. Vehicle speed pushed the parked vehicle 30 ft. That vehicle stopped when it hit a parked car,2 spaces behind it. I called the dealer that day to add the incident to a scheduled servicing on 2/8/19. Serv dept ran diagnostics, no malfunction to the system. A test drive showed parking assist did not sense the curb during parallel parking, but registered for perpendicular parking. Results were unacceptable, it came too close to the vehicle next to it, no prompt to stop and pull forward. He backed into the curb, no prompt from assist feature. Findings were forwarded to Ford motor. 2/17/19, while at a red light, no other vehicles, the light changed to green, and when brakes released, collision avoidance sounded and sensors lit up. Vehicle was not moving. I received a letter that Ford does not believe the subject vehicle qualifies for compensation because the dealership test drove the vehicle and could not be duplicate complaint. 5/29/19, the serv mng explained that another service department verified all sensors and wiring are operational. A technician test-drove it and assured me that everything worked properly. I drove my vehicle to a parking lot, and tried to use park assist. It indicated an empty spot, and proceeded to auto-park. The sensors did not indicate a car already parked there. It gave no warning to stop, I manually terminated the assist. The service dept asked for the vehicle, so a field service engineer could test the system. They concluded the system does not work as it should and no update is available at this time.
