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.
My car is garage kept always. Has always had regular oil changes and inspections at the dealer. I have been told that this is an ongoing problem with this car and it should be covered or recalled at the expense of FORD. I have been told by the mechanics that this can cause a fire as the fluid is leaking directly on the exhaust. I have also been told that the part is on back order because there are so many problem.
