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.
2010 Left rear Tail light stopped working. Causes the turn signal on the right to stop working too. When I pulled the light assembly out, the bulb connection had burned and melted the wiring. This is a real fire hazard! I took the car to ford dealer, they replaced the fixture $70 later and said water may have gotten into the fixture to cause a short.
2012 Same thing happens, this time entire wiring harness on rear replaced as well as light assembly, burned the same way.
2013 Same thing again, burned connection on left rear brake light. Only real fix seems to get rid of the car.

Looked like a burnt bulb socked. Replaced light and everything is working fine now. Just noticed the issue when it was saying a turn signal was out.
