MY CAR WILL RANDOMLY SHUT DOWN WHILE I AM DRIVING. IT HAS HAPPENED DRIVING IN THE CITY I LIVE IN AND ALSO ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 75 MPH. I HAVE TO PULL OVER AND RESTART THE VEHICLE. THIS STARTED IN NOVEMBER 2018 AND STILL HAPPENS. I HAVE HAD IT LOOKED AT BY THE DEALERSHIP AND FORD HAS SENT FIELD SERVICE ENGINEERS THAT HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND A TROUBLE CODE THAT IS HAPPENING. IT HAS BEEN LOOKED AT BY 2 DIFFERENT ENGINEERS DUE TO THE BBB COMPLAINT THAT WAS FILED. THE CAR IS A LEMON ACCORDING TO TEXAS LEMON LAW BUT FORD WILL NOT RECOGNIZE THE PROBLEM SINCE THEY CANNOT FORCE AND INTERMITTENT PROBLEM TO PRESENT ITSELF. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY HAZARD AS THE CAR HAS STOPPED IN TRAFFIC AS WELL. WHEN IT HAPPENS, THERE IS NOTHING THAT COMES UP, THE DASH JUST GOES BLANK AND THE ENGINE STOPS.

THE POLICE CM AND CHECKED MY CAR AND NO PROJECTILE WAS FOUND. MY PAINTWORK ON THAT DOOR IS ALL DAMAGED WHERE THE GLASS FLEW OUT. LUCKILY NOBODY WAS IN THAT SEAT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AS ITS UNDER WARRANTY AND HE AGREED WITH ME AND SAID HE HAD SEEN THIS HAPPEN BEFORE. FORD WILL NOT ENTERTAIN THAT THE GLASS WAS FAULTY AND HAVE SAID NO TO MY REPAIR. IF YOU POST PROBLEMS IN THE FORD FACEBOOK PAGE THEY CONSTANTLY DELET THEM TO HIDE ANY ISSUES FROM OTHERS. THERE SEEMS TO BE OTHERS ON FORUMS WITH THIS CAR AND OTHERS FROM FORD 'S WITH FACTORY TINTED GLASS HAVING BLOW OUT ISSUES. IF THE THIS HAD HAPPENED IN MY DOOR I WOULD HAVE LOST CONTROL OF MY CAR.

ON JULY 12, 2019 I WAS DRIVING MY 2018 FORD EDGE THAT I PURCHASED ON SEPTEMBER 3, 2018, 75 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE AND MY PANORAMIC SUNROOF EXPLODED. THERE WERE THREE ADULTS IN THE CAR AND FORTUNATELY, NO ONE WAS INJURED, BUT WERE SHOWERED WITH PIECES AND SHARDS OF GLASS, ESPECIALLY THE PASSENGER IN THE BACK SEAT. THROUGH CONVERSATIONS WHILE RECALLING THE INCIDENT AMONGST THE THREE OF US, THERE WAS A LOUD POP AND THEN IT SHATTERED. TO OUR BEST KNOWLEDGE, NOTHING HIT THE SUNROOF. I HAD TO HAVE MY VEHICLE TOWED AS THERE WAS SO MUCH GLASS THAT IT WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. THE FIRST DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT DUE TO SCRATCH ON SUNROOF AND THE AIR CONDITIONER BEING ON, THIS CAUSED CABIN PRESSURE AND ULTIMATELY THE EXPLOSION OF THE SUNROOF. WE DID HAVE IT TOWED TO OUR DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAY SOMETHING HIT IT TO MAKE IT SHATTER. BOTH DEALERSHIPS TOLD ME THAT IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER MY WARRANTY SO I DID TURN IT IN TO MY INSURANCE. I FIND IT IRONIC THAT THEY HAD DIFFERING CONCLUSIONS. NEEDLESS TO SAY, THIS HAS BEEN AN UNFORTUNATE LEARNING LESSON. AS OF NOW, I DO NOT HAVE MY VEHICLE BACK, 16 DAYS LATER. I HAVE EXPRESSED MY DISAPPOINTMENT WITH MY DEALERSHIP AND WILL ALSO FILE A COMPLAINT WITH FORD, BUT KNOW NOTHING WILL HAPPEN. I APPRECIATE THAT I AM ABLE TO FILE THIS COMPLAINT AND HOPE THAT ANY OTHERS THAT THIS HAPPENS TO WILL DO THEIR RESEARCH AND KNOW THAT IN ORDER FOR A CHANGE, A REPORT TO YOU NEEDS TO HAPPEN.

WHILE TRAVELLING IN THE LEFT LANE, OF A THREE LANE HIGHWAY, NEXT TO A SEMI-TRACTOR TRAILER, THE TRUCK CHANGED LANES INTO MY LANE. I WAS FULLY IN THE LANE WHEN HE SIGNALED A CHANGE AND BEGAN TO MOVE OVER. I ACTIVATED THE VEHICLE HORN AND BRAKED HARD BUT, IT WAS APPARENT THAT HE NEVER HEARD THE HORN AS THE OPERATOR CONTINUED INTO MY LANE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE IN THE LAST YEAR. (SAME SCENARIO) (THE VEHICLE HORN IS ABOUT AS LOUD AS A 1965 VW BEETLE.) I BROUGHT THIS FORD EDGE TO SUNNY SIDE MOTORS, HOLDEN, MA. I WAS INFORMED, AND PROVIDED A FORD COMPUTER PRINTOUT THAT THIS THAT THIS YEAR 2018 EDGE, HAD ONE OF THE TWO HORNS DELETED BY THE MANUFACTURER. INSTEAD OF THE TWO, HI/LO HORNS PROVIDED ON THIS AND ALL OTHER VEHICLES FOR MANY MANY YEARS, MY 2018 EDGE HAS ONLY ONE HORN. THIIS HORN IS ABSOLUTELY ANEMIC AND CAN NOT BE HEARD IN TRAFFIC AND I BELIEVE THIS IS AN UNACCEPTABLE, SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. HAD IT NOT BEEN FOR MY SKILLED EMERGENCY EVASIVE MANEUVERS, THERE SURELY COULD HAVE HAD DISASTROUS RESULTS. ( I HAVE HAD MANY YEARS TRAINING IN EMERGENCY VEHICLE OPERATION.) THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD!!!!!

DP26008 · Loss Of Motive Power
Opened Sep 3, 2026 · No close date supplied
Status: open (inferred from source dates) · Engine And Engine Cooling
The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) received a petition on August 5, 2026, requesting a defect investigation into the 2.0 Liter EcoBoost engine on model year 2015-2018 Ford Edge vehicles. The petition alleges that engine coolant intrusion results in a significant loss of engine power, accompanied by an "Engine Coolant Over Temperature" warning message. The petition further alleges that after the vehicle has sat and cooled down, the engine runs roughly and generates a check engine light for a cylinder misfire. This defect petition is being opened to evaluate the issue and determine whether to grant or deny the petition. The petition can be reviewed at NHTSA.gov under ODI number 11754989.
