The differential gave out last summer and I had to come out of pocket to fix. Randomly just broke and mechanic informed me that the issue was one that other ford edge owners were having and that it was on the ford or the federal safety agency bulletin and that there’s potential it could be a recall, I personally never reported it, now that my car has 2 other recalls I thought to give the website a check and inform about the Issues I had with my ford edge sport 2016. I believe i was put at risk because the car kept clunking and on the route home trying to keep up with highway speeds the car kept thrusting not really allowing me to match pace of traffic which in itself can be the cause of an accident. And not there was no warning indication on the dashboard prior or after it happening, didn’t know what had happened until I brought it to the mechanic.

The contact owns a 2016 Ford Edge. The contact stated there was a loud clunking sound while opening the front driver's side door. The vehicle was taken to the local body shop to be diagnosed, and the contact was informed that the front driver's door interior spot weld had become unsecured, and the door needed to be re-attached and re-welded. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The local dealer was not yet contacted. The failure mileage was 52,000.

We are the original owners of the 2016 edge. At approximately 48,000 miles, we heard a popping noise in the front suspension which progressed to a loud squeaking sound on bumps and turning. The local dealer could not duplicate the problem. At 54,000 miles, the vehicle started darting on uneven road surfaces (rapid shifts in directional stability, often changing lanes without warning). The local dealer said there were no tsb's on that problem and did not find a problem(!). I raised the front suspension myself and found the drivers ball joint almost ready to dislodge from the control arm. I replaced the lower control arm myself (I am a retired auto instructor) following ford's recommendations. After an alignment, the vehicle drives considerably better but somehow not perfect. Note that there is still a clunking in the front suspension but there doesnt appear to be anything loose, although the passenger side lower ball joint appears to be looser than what I would expect for that year vehicle with that mileage (now just at 57,000 miles.) this is a very dangerous condition which certainly should not happen on a vehicle with that few miles

Throttle body failure - while driving on the freeway, there was a clunk sound and a wrench symbol appeared on our display and the car lost all power. We could not accelerate and had to carefully coast to nearest offramp. We tried to restart car and it did turnover but the same problem repeated after about one minute. It appears this is a common problem with a variety of ford models. No recall on our vehicle. Extremely dangerous issue.
