   The panoramic sun roof has cracked suddenly due to stress. There was no damage or fracture due to an impact from a rock or other outside projectile. The glass roof has simply begun to fail due to stress. I am having this issue repaired next week, but I have taken pictures for documentation. I was able to find forums online where numerous people have complained about this issue with what appears to be years 2015-2017 Ford Edges.

   (First incident) Went to replace wiper blades as they were chattering. Lifted driver side arm and wiper blade fell right off without any intervention.

Extremely dangerous situation for her and everyone else she met on the highway.
