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.
Hatch gets heavy when wet, cold or frozen. Won't stay up, or will stay up and then fall quickly. Fell on my head and it was really painful, had a big bruise on my head, hurt my neck and it literally almost knocked me out. Now that it's warm out, I thought it would get better, but all of a sudden it is even heavier, I almost can't even lift it. I am expecting and know I will not be able to lift it much longer without hurting myself.
Again, I am thinking we may have to trade in this car very shortly because of all the issues. This car has very low mileage for it's age, we should not have to be dealing with these problems already. I know Ford won't do anything for us, we have two Fords, and they do not take care of their customers, so I know I won't be buying anymore.
