2012 Ford Edge visibility problems

Filed Mar 24, 2026 · Visibility · NC

Loss of rearview image from backup camera. Intermittent blank, distorted, or inverted image when in reverse. Sometimes says "loss of signal". This reduces the driver’s view of the area behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a backover crash. My 2012 Ford Edge is experiencing the same issues mentioned in 25V572 for the 2015-2018 Ford Edge.

Safety issue regarding door latch and door ajar sensor. Sensor has failed and continues to think the door is ajar which causes the doors not able to lock, and the interior light stays on and causes windshield glare when driving at night. This is a safety hazard as you cannot lock the doors for protection and you can't see properly to drive at night.

2012 ford edge limited: driving down the divided highway at about 65 MPH, with no vehicles in front/next to/ or behind me, the panoramic sunroof exploded and shattered. This was not due to any impact or collision of any type, to include debris, flying pebbles, etc. The sunroof exploded outwards, with the glass pushed upwards. Additionally, the glass was shattered in all four corners. This is a design defect, with documented recalls across many makes/models. This exact situation has happened to hundreds of other people/vehicles whether driving at highway speeds or parked. In every case, the scenario appears to be the same: the tempered glass exploded due to design failures while operating the vehicle under normal / routine conditions. Recall requested.

While driving at less than the posted speed limit, we heard an explosion from on top of the vehicle. Saw glass pieces sliding off roof. Upon visual inspection we saw the vista sunroof had exploded. The glass exploded along the perimeter of the retractable sunroof. The center of the glass was still intact and there was no visible sign of impact. Nothing hit the glass. Given the perimeter glass damage, it appears the glass was compressed inward somehow. This is a vehicle defect.

Luckily the grand kids weren't the back seat the glass stay intact. Took the car to heller ford where we both it and explained what happened. They said they have never heard of this happening before, something must hit it and it is our responsibility to pay for it. We are waiting for the glass to come so poway glass can re place it. Then we will see if ford is going to pay for it.
