CarComplaints.com Notes: Say what you will about the styling of the Ford Edge, but the bottom line is owners seem to love this vehicle. That is, of course, except in the case of it's dangerous, worrisome and unexplained issues with random engine stalling.
Our data suggests an early defect trend, as owners of the 2007-2008 models have started posting their accounts of what happens when you're driving down the road and the engine just stops. Some at high speed, some at low speed but always a random shutdown of the engine, electrical and power steering.
Time will tell if this becomes a widespread issue, but there's no drying the seriousness of the problem. With that in mind, we're flagging the Edge with our "Beware of the Clunker" rating until the situation improves.

About These NHTSA Complaints:
This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The passenger side door will not unlock with neither the unlock button on driver door nor the push button on my key fob. All other doors will lock. When my son has a seizure next to me and I pull over to assist, I cannot get him out of the door. He is unable to unlock the door himself of course. While he is having a seizure I have to try to pull him out while he is having his seizure through the driver side door to assist him. This gets very dangerous for several reasons. Especially while on the side of the freeway.
The contact owns a 2007 Ford Edge. Whenever the contact locked the doors the locks failed to engage and the doors remained unlocked. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer to be repaired; however, the failure continued to occur. The current mileage was 15,701. The failure mileage was 15,464.
Door latch stuck on rear door behind driver. I had to continuously lock and unlock until the door lock would unstick so I could close the door. This worries me in the case that an accident would happen and the door would be stuck and I couldn't get my child out.
