CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2015 Ford Edge has a trend of the engine dying while driving, which is typically considered a safety issue.
Owners report the stalling while driving problem is caused by the throttle body needing replacement. The problem typically occurs at low mileage & so the issue has been covered under warranty -- although by now, the 2015 Edge is generally past the full warranty period.

At interstate highway speed and without warning, front panel of panoramic sunroof (Vista Roof) shattered, throwing shards of glass upward, rearward, and down into the sunshade. The closed cloth constructed sunshade was the only thing that prevented a barrage of glass fragments from injuring passengers in our vehicle, as the pieces remaining on the top of the sunshade were numerous. There was no warning for this, nor environmental cause that we could see. Incident happened on a rural stretch of highway, so other cars were not impacted. In a more densely traveled area and if the sunshade were open, this could have caused injury. Vehicle is being repaired by a dealer-group-affiliated body shop. Two of the manufacturer's dealerships were consulted and denied this being experienced before. They indicated this was not a repair covered by warranty or extended service contract and referred us to glass or body repair shops for advice and repair.
(First incident) Went to replace wiper blades as they were chattering. Lifted driver side arm and wiper blade fell right off without any intervention. (Second incident) Installed Bosch Icon wiper blades as they were supposed to be the best on the market. My wife was driving home at the start of the blizzard 12/21/2022 in Iowa and once again, the driver-€™s side wiper blade fell off while in use. Extremely dangerous situation for her and everyone else she met on the highway.
The windshield shattered, no collision. Just simply shattered. Cooler than ambient temperatures outside, I was using the rear defrost before the damage accrued.
The contact owns a 2015 Ford Edge. The contact stated while driving 55 MPH in the rain with the windshield wipers set on high, the driver-€™s side wiper blade detached. The vehicle was taken to an auto parts store and the blades were replaced. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or independent mechanic for diagnosis. The failure recurred again with the driver-€™s side blade. Later the passenger-€™s side blade detached. The vehicle was taken an auto parts store and the Rain-X blades were replaced. The contact researched the failure online and became aware of NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V250000 (Visibility). The vehicle was not included in the recall. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to NHTSA to file a complaint. The approximate failure mileage was 55,000.
The apim module went bad and the screen is out in the touchscreen is unresponsive to touch. I can't access the any of the controls and for climate or entertainment or anything. I can't even turn the defrost on to take the keep the windshield form fogging up. The other problem was that the the tailgate will not open and it won't release.

2015 Ford Edge panoramic sunroof has cracked two times since owning the vehicle. I am the original owner of the vehicle. The first time was in 2017. Out Ford dealership would not warranty it because they said it had to have come from a rock chip. This time I just went through my insurance, but it was the same cracks, that just suddenly appear. I didn't hear a rock hit either time. The first replacement sunroof also got really slow when closing and stopped sealing all the way. I have searched online and found a lot of other owners have had the same exact issue. The first time happened in 2016 and then again in 2019.
The headlights on my 2015 Edge are extremely weak on low beam. There is no peripheral lighting at all. I cannot drive at night safely without having my high beams on. This is scary and dangerous.
Sometime over the night the rear glass shattered and my wife's 2015 Ford Edge sport. No one was in the vehicle at the time and the ambient temperature was 50 in our garage. She noticed broken glass on the ground before leaving for work. The rear defrost was not being used and the vehicle was just sitting in our garage. I took quite a few photos and I began looking into other issues with this vehicle to find this is not an uncommon problem. I'm glad she was not driving down the road or on the highway at the time it broke. Glass has continued to fall into the back every time you open or close the door. I'll first contact Ford to see if this is something that is covered before looking into safelite auto glass replacement. The vehicle cannot be driven before this is fixed.
While driving this vehicle, the rear window shattered. I pulled over to check the damage and concluded nothing hit the window to cause this damage. While investigating (online reports and speaking with repair specialists) the cause of this damage may be related to the heating strips (for defrosting) in the window.
My wife was inside at work and the 2015 Edge was just sitting in the parking lot. She got in after work and started the car and boom the back window just shatters. Not remote started or anything. It was about 27degrees F outside. The window literally broke at all 4 corners. I have read there is a recall in Canada for this issue but not one here in the United States. This is a wonderful way to start xmas is with a $600 repair bill since Ford says it's not covered under warranty.
I have a 2015 Ford Edge and as I was driving home last night on the highway, I heard a loud pop. I looked in my rear view mirror and noticed my rear window shattered. I was not involved in an accident and nothing hit my car. I came off the highway and pulled into a parking lot, inspected the rear window and it had began to fall apart. I contacted Ford and there are no open recalls on my vehicle. I did a quick search online and noticed that many Ford customers have had the same issue.
My car was parked in a driveway, not running and I heard a huge loud noise. I walked over to my vehicle and the rear windshield had completely blew out and shattered.

Wavy spider like cracks on the back panel of panoramic sunroof glass with no indication that something fell on it. I cannot be sure exactly when the cracks happened. I leave the shade closed most of the time.

My sun/panoramic roof is spider cracked all the way across the first panel (that sits over the driver) from excess heat. The vehicle has not been parked under trees, overpasses, or anywhere that rocks or objects could fall on top of the vehicle and crack the glass.
2015 Ford Edge titanium panoramic sunroof. The laminated glass started cracking above the front passenger seat while parked. Over the following 2 days (approximately 150 miles of highway driving at 45 -55 mph), the crack extended and divided to form a mass of wavy cracks across the whole glass. Only the exterior layer of glass has cracked at tbhs point but the roof creaks and flexes and will potentialy completely fail at some point. I dare not open the roof in case it fails completely. There are no indications of impact at any point on the roof ("bulls eyes"), and the cracks look to be caused by stress caused by the way the glass is mounted, or how the supporting structure is strengthened (or not) against flexing
For the second time in less then 2 years our panoramic sunroof has cracked completely. Not just a single crack but the entire window has cracks. The first time the Ford technician said he could see where a rock or something hit the window. Well I have not taken this in yet but I'm sure it will be the same excuse. I am not sure when it cracked as we don't always have the sunroof open and don't always have the shade open either. So how and when it occurred are not clear. I know that we never heard anything that would have made us want to check to see if it was ok either. The strange thing is that the windshield had a couple of small little star shape cracks that have never gotten worse in the 4 years we have owned the car. But the sunroof seems to crack very easily.
