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.

Edge

Engine shakes violently. Went to drive my vehicle to go to an appointment and noticed the engine ran different. When I started to move the vehicle the engine began to shake violently and it could be felt inside the car. The car then cut off, so I had to restart the vehicle. While driving the engine lost power and could not accelerate. I would remove foot off the gas pedal and the shaking subsides, but when you step on the gas pedal again the engine shakes violently again. Taking car to the dealership for a diagnoses, but from articles online there appears to be a PCM & coils, but no recall available for this reported complaint. The car shakes while I drove on the highway and local roads and while stationary.
