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.
Non-repairable drive shaft, need to replace the whole thing. Bought a rebuilt with warranty, and car still has symptoms of out of phase or unbalanced drive shaft.
This I guess is not a common problem but it is an AWD vehicle and very expensive. The dealer said it could not be fixed and they had to replace the drive shaft. Part alone is $932.
