Problem overview

Some Ford Edge owners report experiencing white powder and dust particles blowing from the vents, which raises health and air quality concerns. This issue may stem from various causes, including loose blower manufacturer stickers, evaporator flux flaking off, or degrading insulation and mineral deposits. The presence of fine dust or particulate matter can pose health risks, making it essential to address the problem promptly to maintain good indoor air quality and HVAC efficiency. To mitigate this issue, owners are advised to thoroughly clean the blower, motor, filter housings, and intake vents, as well as regularly change air filters. Ford has acknowledged this problem in several models, indicating it is not isolated to just the Edge but affects multiple Ford vehicles across different years.
