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.
We noticed right away after purchasing our vehicle we were unable to completely fill our gas tank when filling up. We had it back to the dealership for them to look at, they said they had fixed the problem but they didn't. We brought it back in and they replaced a valve cluster, and now the problem has been resolved. This is an American vehicle that was bought in Canada.
