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.

IT HAS HAPPENED MORE THAN ONCE WITH NO PARTICULAR CAUSE. IT SEEMED TO GO AWAY BUT THEN RETURNED AND CAUSED THE BATTERY TO DIE WITH THE GREATEST OF INCONVENIENCE. THE CAR HAD TO BE JUMPED, WHICH SOUNDS EASY BUT WITH THE TRANSPORTING OF LITTLE KIDS AND TRAVELING AWAY FROM HOME ADDS AMAZING STRESS TO THE TRIP. NOW I AM AFRAID TO GO TOO FAR BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHEN IT WILL OCCUR AGAIN. THE DEALERSHIPS SAID FOR $250-$500 WE CAN FIX IT BUT FOLLOWED THAT UP WITH "BUT IT WILL OCCUR AGAIN" WHICH IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. I THINK THAT FORD NEEDS TO ADMIT A PROBLEM EXISTS AND, AT LEAST, RECALL THE VEHICLES AND FIX THEM.
