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 windshield is set at such an angle that the dashboard is reflected on to it. It's distracting, and annoying. I get around the issue by wearing sunglasses. I don't usually need them otherwise.
Driving home from work on hwy 99 I heard a loud pop (sounded like a gunshot) and heard the sound of glass. I pulled off the freeway and discovered my sunroof had completely exploded. I was alone on the road and was nowhere near an overpass where something could have fallen on it. It was a cold day and the heater was on so there was a temperature difference. I drove the car to Ford after calling my insurance company. I was told today that there was no "structural defect" so Ford was not responsible for the replacement. It is 1300 dollars for a new sunroof, 10 days before christmas. After doing some research online I found my car was not the only one to have had this happen. Had the cover not been closed, shards of glass would have rained down on me as well as my son in the backseat. We could have been seriously injured either from the glass or an accident. This needs to be looked into and soon before someone gets seriously hurt or loses their life.
