2013 Ford Edge Body & Structure Problems

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY LESS 60 MPH MY SUNROOF EXPLODED AND GLASS SHATTERED EVERYWHERE. I HAD MY CHILD IN THE CARSEAT WHILE THIS HAPPEN. THERE NOTHING THAT I HEARD OR VISIBLE THAT HIT IT. SO NOW IM TRYING TO GET IT REPLACE AND THE DEALERSHIP NEED TO ORDER THE GLASS AND I NEED TO WAIT. I FOUND OTHER REPORT ONLINE ABOUT THIS HAPENING TO THE SAME MODEL BUT THERES NO RECALL. BUT OTHER RECALL FOR OTHER FORD MODEL AND YEAR HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE.

The contact owns a 2013 Ford Edge. The contact stated that the dashboard was cracked nearby the passenger's side air bag compartment. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was determined that the dashboard needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 178,000.

My 2013 ford edge has the sunroof rails broken . i think because they are made out of plastic. So the only thing holding the front of the glass is some wires to prevent it from the glass from catching air and catching air borne which will shatter the glass. Im really scare to take the freeway.

• What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? The left back door sensor malfunctioned. Yes, it can be inspected once the battery is charged or replaced. • How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? It would not automatically lock the doors while driving. The vehicle is used to transport children. It would say the door is open despite it being closed and locked. The alarm would randomly go off with no one around. • Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? The sensor malfunctioned so much, my battery is now dead. It has not been confirmed by a dealer or service center. • Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? No, it has not been inspected by anyone yet. • Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? The messaging system would randomly tell me my door was open despite it being closed. It became more and more frequent as time went on. Before my battery died, it was happening 3-4 times a night.The issue first appeared in May or June of 2021

I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH 2013 FORD EDGE RECEIVE A MESSAGE ADVISING THE LEFT REAR PASSENGER DOOR IS AJAR EVEN WHEN THE DOOR IS SECURELY SHUT. CHECKED ON INTERNET FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS CITING THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH THE FORD EDGE INVOLVING ALL DIFFERENT DOORS. RECEIVED A LETTER FROM FORD MOTOR COMPANY ENTITLED CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM 19N09 WHEREIN THEY ADVISE OF A PROBLEM WITH THE DOOR LATCH ON THE 2013 FORD EDGE SPECIFYING THE SAME PROBLEM I AM HAVING AND ADVISING THEY WILL REPLACE THE DOOR LATCH ON THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR. IT IS MY POSITION THEY USED THE SAME TYPE SETUP ON ALL DOORS ON THE 2013 FORD EDGE, THEY ARE AWARE OF THE DEFECT AND WANT TO LIMIT THEIR EXPOSURE BY LIMITING THE PROGRAM TO THE DRIVERS DOOR. THERE IS A SAFETY ISSUE OR CONCERN PROMPTING THIS PROGRAM OR FORD WOULD NOT HAVE INITIATED THE PROGRAM AND IT WOULD APPLY TO ALL DOORS ON THE VEHICLE AS EVIDENCED BY MY PROBLEM WITH THE REAR DOOR. I DID CONTACT THE FORD CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP CENTER AND WAS ADVISED THE PROGRAM WAS LIMITED TO THE CONDITIONS LISTED IN THE LETTER. THIS DOOR AJAR WARNING HAS COME UP WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND WHEN STATIONARY.

SUNROOF SPONTANEOUSLY SHATTERED. WE WERE GOING 70 MILES/ HOUR ON THE FREEWAY WHEN IT EXPLODED OUT OF NOWHERE. BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER THREW OUR ARMS OVER OUR HEAD BECAUSE IT SOUNDED LIKE OUR CAR HAD BEEN SHOT AT. THE CAR SWERVED INTO OTHER LANES OF TRAFFIC. MOST OF THE GLASS STAYED BUT WE HAD LARGE CHUNKS FALL INTO THE CAR CABIN. THERE WAS ALSO LOTS OF FINE PIECES OF GLASS FALLING INTO THE CAR. WE HAD A 1 YEAR OLD IN HER CARSEAT THAT HAD GLASS FALLING ON HER HEAD. WE DIDN'T DARE DRIVE ANYMORE, TRYING TO AVOID THE GLASS CAVING IN, AND PULLED OFF AT THE NEXT EXIT.

FRONT PASSENGER DOOR LATCH FAILURE. SYMPTOMS COULD NOT CLOSE DOOR. LATCH MECHANISM WAS FREE TO MOVE, BUT WOULD NOT LOCK INTO PLACE WHEN DOOR CLOSED. DOOR WAS PARKED IN DRIVEWAY, UNLOCKED CAR, OPENED DOOR, ENTERED VEHICLE, TRIED TO CLOSE DOOR. DOOR WOULD JUST NOT LATCH CLOSED. MANUALLY MOVED DOOR LATCH MECHANISM BACK AND FORTH. ON OTHER DOORS, THE LATCH WOULD LOCK INTO PLACE, AND COULD BE 'UNLOCKED' BY OPENING USING DOOR HANDLE. ON AFFECTED DOOR, THE LATCH WOULD ONLY MOVE BACK AND FORTH FREELY. TOOK TO FORD DEALER TODAY. DIAGNOSED AS FAULTY LATCH ASSEMBLY. APPROXIMATELY $250 FOR THE PART, AND $250 FOR LABOR.

REAR PASSENGER DOOR LATCH FAULTY AND EXHIBITS ILLUMINATED DOME LIGHTS, DOOR AJAR MESSAGE ALONG WITH NO DOOR LOCKS AND FAULTY ALARM.

DRIVER'S DOOR UNABLE LOCKED WHILE DRIVING, AND INTERIOR DOME LIGHTS STAYING ON CONTINUOUSLY. DOOR ALARM CONTINUOUSLY SOUNDING.

THE DRIVERS DOOR INTERMITTENTLY DOESN'T RECOGNIZE WHEN ITS CLOSED. THE DRIVERS DOOR AJAR LIGHT WILL COME ON AND THE OTHER DOORS WILL NOT LOCK. THE DOME LIGHTS STAY ON FOR A SHORT DISTANCE.

TAKATA RECALL THIS IS THE SECOND TIME MY 2013 FORD EDGE LIMITED HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM, TWO YEARS AGO WE HAD TO SPEND $650 ON GETTING OUR DRIVER SIDE DOOR LATCH NOW OUR PASSENGER DOOR LATCH IS DOING THE SAME THING WHEN WE ARE DRIVING THE DOOR WILL JUST FLY OPEN WITH NO TYPE OF WARNING. SOMETIMES BEFORE WE START DRIVING IT WILL SAY DRIVER DOOR OPEN. IVE READ MULTIPLE REPORTS OF THIS HAPPENING AND FORD IS YET TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. MY WIFE COULD FALL OUT WHILE I AM DRIVING OR VISE VERSA. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE SOMEONE WINDS UP DEAD AND FORD HAS A LAWSUIT ON THERE HAND.

FRONT DRIVER DOOR AJAR SIGNAL. WHEN STARTING THE CAR, THE DRIVER DOOR AJAR SIGNAL APPEARS WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED. ENGINE ON SIGNAL APPEARS, INTERIOR LIGHTS REMAIN ON, SHIFT INTO PARK SIGNAL APPEARS. DOOR LOCKS DO NOT ENGAGE WHILE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN. SAFETY IS COMPROMISED WITH UNLOCKED DOORS WHILE DRIVING. CLEANING OF CONTACTS DOES NOT ALLEVIATE PROBLEM. FORD MOTOR COMPANY SHOULD RECALL OR REPAIR VEHICLES REGARDLESS OF WARRANTY.

STATIONARY 2013 FORD EDGE DRIVERS DOOR LATCH FREEZES AND WILL NOT UNLOCK. WHEN I DO GET THE DOOR OPEN FROM OTHER SIDE IT WON'T CLOSE AND LATCH. I HAVE TO REPEATEDLY SLAM DOOR HARD TO GET IT TO LATCH. FORD GARAGE IN PAST LUBRICATES THE LATCH INSIDE THE DOOR BUT IT'S A TEMPORARY FIX. DEALING WITH THIS EVERY YEAR.

I BOUGHT MY FORD EDGE FROM A DEALERSHIP AND 4 DAYS AFTER HAVING IT I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY IN THE RAIN AND THE BACK SUNROOF SHATTERED FOR NO KNOWN REASON. I TOOK IT TO A FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT'S INCONCLUSIVE TO WHY IT BROKE

WATER LEAK IN THE CAB OF THE VEHICLE DO TO SEALANT GAPS IN A PANEL ON THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE TO THE POINT WERE WATER WAS POOLING ON THE RUBBER MATS. I SEE THAT THERE WERE PREVIOUS RECALLS FOR THIS PROBLEM HOWEVER MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. I WOULD LIKE FOR MY VEHICLE TO BE CONSIDERED IN THIS RECALL.

WHILE TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE PANORAMIC SUNROOF EXPLODED. NOTHING HIT THE ROOF PRIOR TO IT SHATTERING.

DOOR AJAR INDICATOR KEEPS RANDOMLY COMING ON. DOORS WILL NOT LOCK AND INTERNAL LIGHTS WILL BE LEFT ON. IT DRAINED MY BATTERY AND LEFT ME STRANDED 4 HOURS FROM HOME. TRULY RANDOM TIMES... WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, WHEN PARKED AND MAYBE HOURS LATER AFTER VEHICLE IS IN PARK.

DRIVER'S DOOR STOPPED REGISTERING THAT IT WAS CLOSED, CAUSING "DOOR AJAR" WARNING REGARDLESS OF HOW HARD/COMPLETELY THE DOOR WAS SHUT. IT WOULD RESULT IN UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITIONS, AS THE CAR WOULD CONSTANTLY ISSUE AN AUDIBLE AND VISUAL WARNING WHILE DRIVING (DURING SLOW SPEEDS/COMING TO A STOP), AND KEEP THE INTERIOR/EXTERIOR LIGHTS ON WHEN PARKED, DRAINING THE BATTERY. FORD MOTOR COMPANY IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND HAS PUBLISHED TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN (TSB 14-0011) FOR ITS SERVICE PERSONNEL, BUT HAS FAILED TO TAKE FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DEFECTIVE PARTS IMPACTING A MULTITUDE OF THEIR VEHICLE MODELS (EDGE, EXPLORER, AND FLEX AS WELL AS LINCOLN MK-X & MK-T) FOR YEARS 2011-2014. UNOFFICIALLY, THIS AFFECTS YEAR MODELS 2009-2018, BASED ON INFORMATION ONLINE FORUMS SUCH AS FORDPROBLEMS.COM. THE COST TO FIX WAS IN EXCESS OF $500 AT MY LOCAL FORD DEALER, AND I FOUND IT QUITE TELLING THAT THEY HAD THE PART ON-HAND FOR SAME DAY-SERVICE, EVEN THOUGH MY VEHICLE IS NOW 5 YEARS OLD.

THE BREAK BOOSTER WAS JUST ON RECALL LAST YEAR AND WAS FIXED BY THE FORD DEALERSHIP. IT IS NOW MESSED UP AGAIN AND IS NO LONGER UNDER RECALL. THE PAINT ON THE BUMPER OF MY 2013 FORD EDGE THAT IS ALWAYS CARPORT KEPT IS PEELING.

DOOR AJAR ON DRIVERS SIDE PASSENGER DOOR. MECHANIC ADVISED SHOULD NOT BE AN ISSUE WITH A VEHICLE THIS AGE. I SEE ONLINE MANY CONSUMERS REPORTING THE SAME ISSUE. I FIND THIS VERY CONCERNING AS WE HAVE SMALL CHILDREN IN THE BACK SEAT, AGES 2 AND 4. EVEN OF IT'S A SENSOR ISSUE, IT EFFECTS THE ABILITY TO LOCK THE CAR, AND THE DOME LIGHT OVERHEAD TO STAY ON FOR SOME TIME. PLUS, WHAT IF FOR NOW IT'S A SENSOR BUT LATER THE LATCH DOESN'T WORK? HOW WOULD ANYONE KNOW THE DIFFERENCE IF THE LIGHT IS STILL PRESENT? THE LIGHT STAYS ON ALL THE TIME, WHETHER PARKED OR IN MOTION.
