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.
The driver side seat memory switch on the door shorted out causing smoke to fill the vehicle. Husband was able to unplug switch and get a replacement part from the Ford dealership and replace it himself. This was the first incident and thought nothing about it until, the second time it has happened in December of 2016.
Also have had problems with the tail lights/turn signal bulbs blowing out and then melting around them, causing smoke and smell.
