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.
There is a Ford Edge recall that covers this. My Ford Edge has been at the dealer for 5 months now waiting for a gas tank. Note - at this time there are 7 other 2006-2008 Ford Edges at the dealership waiting for gas tanks. Mine has been there the longest. They have finally agreed to put on an after market gas tank as a temporary solution, until Ford can provide a Ford gas tank. They have no eta for the Ford or the after market gas tank.
While they have provided a rental (a Ford Escape) in the meantime, I need a vehicle with a hitch and have been unable to get one from them or the rental company they deal with. This is ridiculous - I want my Edge back - and it has sat there for 5 months. How long should someone have to wait for a part that is supposed to be made locally !!!!!
What legal recourse do I have !!!!!! I cannot even trade it in for a new truck - it is not roadworthy until the gas tank is replaced and the dealer can't or won't deal with me until it is fixed.
