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 same fuel tank problem I had seems to be frequent among Ford Edge vehicle. This is not only a very dangerous situation, but is an environmentally hazardous condition. Efforts should be made by all of us who have had this experience to urge a recall for the safety of others and the protection of the environment. Please, if you know how to do this, respond to this complaint. It seems the dealership is quite aware of the problem and downplays it to, of course, profit their company for kudos and/or bonuses ignoring the safety of their vehicles' owners. This is a disgusting way to do business. Ford owner all my life - not anymore.
I am so angry with having to put a fuel tank on a car that is only 7 years old. I think that it was faulty from the factory. I feel that the price is also very high for this. When they called me back they said a bearing is also bad in the differential. I am not sure whether it is bad or not I am not smart when it comes to that. I love my edge but I feel that there should be something that can be done for fuel tanks to last longer. I have not ran over anything or done damage to my car.

I can only have this problem fixed by taking it to a Ford dealer and having them replace the fuel tank. This going to cost me about $1800.00
