A Manufacture defect in the brake light housing cracks and causes water inside the light housing causing the light to be dim, eventually short out, and also flicker and shut off & on occasion. The end result is no brake lights or sometimes working depending on the water damage from the Manufacture defect of the light housing plastic.

The "decorative" piece on the rear liftgate that has the reverse lights is severely condensation and fills with water, which will eventually short out the reverse lights causing a safety hazard and the local dealer fucillo Ford will not repair or replace this unit wants to charge me $1300 to repair and I had complained three times about it while the vehicle was under the warranty. I do not have photos of this next rainstorm I will secure some and forward on.

While driving at night- very poor low beam headlights, if its raining, impossible to see white or yellow dividing line. Very hazardous on two lane interstate highway. Found many similar complaints on other websites. No picture applicable. Suggest a road test on 2016 Ford Edge at night in rain.

The contact owns a 2016 Ford Edge. The contact stated that water would collect inside the entire rear reflector panel lights surrounding the license plate. The water would cause the lights to short without warning. The vehicle was taken to davidson Ford of clay (3690 NY-31, liverpool, NY 13090, 315-860-0096) where the lights were replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to NHTSA to file a complaint. The failure mileage was unknown.

The driving lights illuminate the roads poorly and I've had them adjusted twice in order to improve night driving visibility. Also, the driver's door doesn't latch reliably and I've had it adjust ed twice and now the door whistles. The door ajar light signals the door isn't properly shut. There is poor coordination between the keyless fob and the door unlocking both of these problems are ongoing.

I was driving home christmas night after spending the weekend with family, it was raining hard and windy (20-30mph gusts). While driving with my wipers on at 70mph on interstate 35 South just North of albert lea Minnesota my wiper blades started to get caught in the wind, I heard a slapping noise a few times and then all the sudden as the wipers went to wipe the passenger side blade was lifted by the wind and was dropped on top of the other blade. The latch that holds the blade on to the driver side wiper was blocking the passenger side blade and caused the wipers to become non functional. At this point I was getting very nervous because visibility rapidly diminished because I could no longer use my wipers. I tried turning them on to high and low and they would not work. The wipers did try to "fix" them selves by pulsing a few times but only in the down direction, had they tried to go in the upright direction I think they could have fixed them selves. At this point I had no choice but to pull over in the cold and rain to manually move the wiper arms into a position were they could work normally, mind you I was going 70mph and was not able to see very well to even pull over. On an unrelated note, the headlights in this vehicle especially when the roads are wet are the absolute worse headlights I have ever used. Not acceptable for a brand new car.
