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.
When turning to the right we would notice the AC fan making a distinct spinning noise. When turning sharply to the left, water would leak into the passenger foot-well. Upon inspection the tank that connects to the AC blower was soaked and water was trapped. We were able to access and remove debris that was preventing the tank from leaking it out under the car. We then installed a new cabin air filter to ensure this wouldn't happen again.
Less than a month later this is happening again. We have yet to correct it.
