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 problem is this ....state law requires that you wear a seat belt but I have a driver side seat belt issue .....it started right after I bought the vehicle so that really frustrates me....when it feels like it it will latch....if it it having a bad day it won't latch and the dash board lets me know it....it constantly dings....which is fine really because that is what its supposed to do. But its frustrating and annoying and is a major distraction to me...
I asked the dealership about it and they gave me a dumb answer....they said look to see if there's a dime or change stuck in it....well there isn't...its like there's a clip or something inside that isn't catching and holding it just wants to bounce out. Is there a recall on this situation since it is a state law in PA? or am I going to have to pay for it... the dealer said several hundred of dollars....ugh.
