The Flex Plate (flywheel) cracked twice now, First time was at 62,000 miles and second time was at 81,000. My safety was at risk the first time due to the fact I had just entered the Interstate and loss all power to the engine as my oil pan and crankshaft seals also gave way and all engine oil was drained out with no engine oil warning what-so-ever. This nearly caused a Semi to rear end me as I limped over to the edge of the road powerless. The wrench appeared earlier that morning denoting a transmission issue for the first time as I was driving to work, then at lunch time it died on the Interstate with no warning indicators at all. The second time it cracked I was also driving 75mph on the Interstate saw the wrench and heard a loud grinding noise and the engine would just rev up when I pressed the gas. I pulled over safely without issues, but the flex plate cracked again and took out the transmission this time. Both repairs were completed at a Ford Dealership and neither repairs were warrantied or covered by Ford

I own a 2015 ford edge titanium trim. Both panoramic sun roofs have developed cracks for no apparent reason. I believe this is a significant safety issue as I can hear the glass grinding as the car flexes while driving. Each roof panel developed these cracks at different times. In neither instance was the car subjected to unusual or severe driving conditions.

Brakes squeak loudly when the weather is hot or after driving the car for 45 and returning to the car to drive after an hour or two of not driving. The brakes become touchy and bite when returning to drive after the car sits for an hour or so. When stopping suddenly at any time, the brakes bite severely. Pads have already been replaced within the first year. Helped but did not solve the problem. Brakes also feel as if they are grinding when returning to drive the car after it sits for an hour or so, after having drove for 45 minutes or so. At times the brakes will squeak and bite first thing in the morning. Dealer has replaced the pads, noted the biting, but the problem still exists.
