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.
I had to return to the dealer because after repairing the outer tie rod ends. The brake noise in front and rear continues. This time they sanded the brake pads and did something I didn't understand to the rear rotors. It still is making noise when breaks or wet or if the Edge has sat unused for a couple days. Not happy with the answers I get at the Ford dealership on this noise and I am really not happy that they may have sanded away several miles worth of brake pad!
