Body & structure reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

2019 Ford Edge Titanium Rear Lift Gate Glass Shatters. The rear lift gate glass of a 2019 Ford Edge Titanium shattered by simply and normally closing the driver side door without warning or symptoms. There was no impact of any object with the lift gate glass. Rear glass defogging heat was not on at the time. This rendered the vehicle unsafe to drive and cost the owner roughly $1000 to repair. It was not inspected by the manufacturer, but repairs were made by an authorized Ford Dealer. Local news channel ran a news story piece on similar occurrences, so it is believed this is not a random occurrence.

Engine: Severe surging at low power settings, especially during engine warm-up. This surging is not related to air conditioner compressor cycling on/off, or turbo lag. Body: Rear hatch "kick to open" feature often activates suddenly without warning and without a deliberate kick motion by operator. This feature cannot be disabled; only the actuator can be disabled using instrument panel menus. This creates a condition where any inadvertent "open" command using any device will unlatch, but not open, the hatch. This can lead to loss of internal security and/or driving with an unlatched hatch. Thank You

My 2019 Ford Edge was sitting in my garage over the weekend at the end of March. I got in on Monday morning to find my sunroof had shattered. Upon further examination, nothing fell in or on the car. The sunroof had actually blown upwards.

CRIME PROTECTION VS. OCCUPANT SAFETY FOR FORD DOOR LOCKING SYSTEM. FOR CRIME PROTECTION FORD HAS SET, STARING WITH THE 2019 MODEL, THAT THE DOORS CANNOT BE OPENED FROM THE OUTSIDE WHEN THE MOTOR IS RUNNING IN PARKING POSITION. PREVIOUS MODELS DID NOT HAVE THE FEATURE OR THE SYSTEM COULD BE PROGRAMMED SO THAT THE DOORS WERE OPEN AS AN OCCUPANT SAFETY FEATURE. I MAKE THIS STATEMENT AS A LIFELONG SAFETY ENGINEER FIRST AT MERCEDES BENZ AND LATER AT BENDIX IN BREAKS, FOLLOWED BY 25 YEARS AT TRW IN SEAT BELTS, FIRST IN GERMANY AND LATER IN USA. I.E. I WAS HEAVILY INVOLVED WITH NHTSA FOR SEAT BELT CERTIFICATIONS AND IN THE FORD SEAT BELT BUCKLE DEVELOPMENT, NOW STANDARD IN ALL NORTH AMERICAN CARS. I SEE THIS STEP TO LOCK THE DOORS AS A STEP AGAINST OCCUPANT SAFETY AND PROTECTION. A DRIVER, WHICH WAS ABLE TO STOP THE CAR I.E. HAVING A HEART ATTACK, CANNOT BE REACHED FROM THE OUTSIDE BY HELPERS UNTIL POLICE OR FIRE DEPARTMENT COME. THIS MIGHT BE TOO LATE IN A REMOTE AREA. ALSO PARKING IN THE GARAGE AND NEEDING TO MANUALLY UNLOCK THE VEHICLE FOR UNLOADING IS A NUISANCE. AFTER TRYING TO HAVE THE SETTING CHANGED BY A FORD DEALER AND CONTACTING FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE ENDED 5 MONTHS LATER IN A STATEMENT FROM CUSTOMER CONTACT: YOU SHOULD HAVE ORDERED THIS OPTION. -THERE IS NOT SUCH AN OPTION AVAILABLE. SO MY REQUEST IS AFTER ALL NOT UNREASONABLE, BUT THE DOOR LOCK SYSTEM CANNOT BE CHANGED AT A LATER POINT IN TIME. IN CONCLUSION: LOCKING THE DOORS AT ANY SPEED IS A NECESSITY BUT NOT WHEN A CAR IS IN PARK POSITION, EVEN WITH RUNNING ENGINE. LOCKING FOR CRIME PROTECTION IS A MANUAL OPTION IF OCCUPANTS FEEL UNSAFE. *LN*JB

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
