During operation of my 2015 Ford Edge Titanium, the vehicle experienced intermittent loss of acceleration and multiple electronic warning messages. While driving, pressing the accelerator pedal would sometimes result in little or no vehicle acceleration. The RPMs fluctuated abnormally and the vehicle appeared to enter a reduced-power condition. Warning messages included “Hill Start Assist Unavailable” and traction/anti-skid related warnings. Cruise control also became inoperable. The issue created a safety risk because the vehicle would not reliably accelerate during normal driving conditions, including while attempting to maintain speed in traffic. This created concern about merging, crossing intersections, or safely responding to traffic conditions. Additional symptoms included rear lights remaining illuminated unexpectedly and electronic brake-related behavior that appeared abnormal. An independent auto parts diagnostic scan identified low-voltage history codes and a brake switch/brake signal issue. The vehicle battery tested good at the time of inspection. The transmission reportedly showed no faults during the initial scan. The brake switch issue was temporarily adjusted to allow the vehicle to be driven to a repair facility, but the underlying issue has not yet been permanently repaired. The problem has been reproduced during multiple driving events and was observed by an independent service provider. The dealership later advised that no recall currently applies to the vehicle VIN for this condition. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. Prior to the failure, warning lamps and messages appeared intermittently, including traction control, anti-skid, and “Hill Start Assist Unavailable” notifications. These symptoms began before the major acceleration issue occurred and became more frequent over time.

Ford states that the replacement parts are not available and that FORDMOCO parts can only be used and only FORDMOCO parts will be used in correcting the recall by the local Ford service dept. OEM Aftermarket replacement parts are in stock at my local Autozone store. I am not going to take a chance having a brake system failure and accident while I wait for Ford to obtain the brake lines and schedule their replacement, which they said would not be any sooner than September 2026. I will purchase and have the brake lines replaced by an ANSI certified mechanic and then I will file suit against Ford to recover my costs to do the repair and cover legal fees. I refuse to be subjected to an anxiety factor with the fear of a brake failure and a crash for a year, because of a manufacture's negligence and a failure to honor its warranty.

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? The flexible brake hose on my 2015 Ford Edge failed/broke shortly after I purchased the vehicle. The vehicle also began experiencing engine performance issues, including a rough idle and rough driving condition after the check engine light came on. The vehicle and failed brake hose should be available for inspection upon request. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? The broken flexible brake hose created a serious safety risk because it could affect the vehicle’s braking ability and increase the risk of losing control or being unable to stop safely. The rough engine performance also caused concerns about the reliability and safe operation of the vehicle while driving. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? The issue has been observed and experienced consistently while driving the vehicle. The brake hose damage and rough engine performance were noticeable after the vehicle was purchased. (If a mechanic has looked at it, you can add: “An independent mechanic/dealership confirmed the brake hose was damaged.”) Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? I have taken it to the dealership and they said nothing about it but I got it diagnosed at autozone and the code came up right away. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? Approximately 2–3 weeks after purchasing the vehicle, the check engine light came on and the vehicle began running roughly. Around the same time, issues related to the broken flexible brake hose were discovered. Symptoms included rough driving performance and concerns with the braking system

See attached document for complaint. I received notice back in September of 2025 of the two recalls noted above. I have not received notice that the parts are available. I have called my dealer, Huntington Beach Ford and first they said they had the parts for recall 25V572. I took my car in and later in the day was told they do not have the parts. In the meantime, they tried to upsell me on service issues not related to the recall. I have been a loyal customer of both Ford Motor Company and Huntington Beach Ford. I must tell you that my loyalty is being tested. I think this is unacceptable and I would like to know when I can expect to get my car fixed.

On March 22, 2026, I was returning home from a trip to visit my mother in Colorado. The wind in Kansas was horrible on that day. While in the middle of the state, one of the panels around the sunroof on my 2015 Ford Edge CAME OFF of my car and shattered in the road behind me. Moments later, 3 other panels blew off and shattered on the road. I was in shock! Someone could have been killed or severely injured! I am still in shock! The next day, Monday the 23rd, I took the car over to James River Ford near my house and had them look at it. They stated that they had never seen this before. All but one of the panels around the sunroof had come off! They looked up recalls for me, but none were on the sunroof panels. Again, I was in shock. How could a car have been designed such that there was the possibility that the ROOF of the car could come off randomly while driving down the highway? I looked online and there was a lot of talk on how these panels are NOTORIOUS for coming off! There are multiple stories of issues with these panels. I purchased this car used and would have preferred to NOT have a sunroof, but I really liked the rest of the car. In fact, the sunroof did not work properly when I first purchased the car, so I chose not to even use it. Now, to have the panels rip off and shatter on the road is extremely alarming and frustrating! Most importantly, I need to know that Ford understands the dangers of these poorly designed panels around their panoramic sunroof! No “special” sunroof design is worth the dangers that these can cause if they come off. I do not see other vehicles around with these types of panels. I reached out to Ford online on March 23rd and April 2nd. Of course, nothing really came of that, which is why I am reached out and sent them a certified letter. I am extremely disappointed with my vehicle at this point. Fixing it will be expensive, so I may just drive around without panels so that people can see what happen
