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.

While making a low speed left hand turn, the driver heard a loud bang and the card stopped dead in the road. Upon investigation the right wheel including the disc brake rotor, caliper, and wheel has separated from the transaxle. The half shaft was pulled completely out of the transaxle and the wheel assembly was held onto the car by the brake line and the shock strut assembly. The lower control arm was completely separated from the wheel. The car was completely undrivable at this point and had to be towed.
