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.
I did not take the first occurance seriously. But I took the car to the Ford dealership where it was purchased after this second experience. They ran diagnostics and could not replicate problem. They checked with Ford and other dealers to see if anyone else had a similar experience or if it had been reported elsewhere. Not help to fix problem. Still happening.
Will be driving along with radio turned off. With no warning or interaction, the radio turns itself on to a local station and the volume is very loud. Scarey, irritating and distracting.
