So far, the 2014 Edge doesn't share the poor reputation of prior model years.

The driver side door sensor/ latch is failing. Door is closed or slammed multiple times and sensor shows errors of: Door ajar, transmission not in park, engine on because it doesn't sense the door being shut. Therefore the overhead light stays on and can potentially drain battery. If continuing to drive with warning it will beep every few seconds. The doors will not automatically lock. When getting out of car and locking. It needs to be shut multiple times so light doesn't stay on and or alarm will not set.
Driver side door latch/sensor malfunction. Due to manufacture date of October 2014 my vehicle is not eligible under current recall for the latch (19N09) however my vehicle is currently at the dealership having the part replaced with out of pocket expense.
Door ajar / transmission not in park sensor is not working properly. Unsafe condition not knowing if door lock system is working properly. Have to stop numerous time while driving to check if door is actually closed and locked. Also will not allow interior lights to go off, and is safety issue when trying to drive at night. Extremely difficult to see due to lost of night vision. Ford motor knows of the issues for years but refuses to correct issue via a recall. The vehicle only has 31,000 miles on it.
Intermittent door ajar warning and cannot lock doors and dome light stays on. Ford has a customer satisfaction program (19N09) for this issue but the dealer told me that my VIN number does not qualify for this even though the door parts are the same part number from 2011 through 2014.
My back up camera is projecting the image upside down when shown on the audio screen in the vehicle. I was backing up when the camera image changed from right side up to upside down.

Door ajar light comes on with driver's side door, even though door is closed. This in turn causes the lights to remain on inside, causing the battery to drain if not noticed. The door ajar light keeps the doors from locking, and can be a safety issue. This has happened many times now.

Touchscreen stopped working. It controls hands-free phone, navigation, temperature, and radio. Ford extended warranty on system, but did not include touchscreen itself, and is charging $1,000 to replace. Touchscreen itself should be recalled. Dangerous if need to make phone call and have to use cell phone rather than hands -free unit, or if relying on system to give navigation directions and it suddenly stops working.

It started at about 45,000 miles, currently have 46,000 miles and it continues ea time the car is started and throughout the entire trip.
