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 sunroof started acting up right as I picked up my vehicle after being serviced at my local Ford Store. Upon opening the window a few plastic pieces began to fall down causing the sunroof not completely close. I've attempted Every possible remedy on trying to shut it sealed. Due to this very addressed and known reported issue by consumers, my vehicle was exposed to bad weather that lead to the vehicle drenched in water causing very extreme electrical mayhem! Sparks were flying all around the vehicle resulting in minor car fire! Thank heavens I carry an emergency extinguisher in my cargo area! Happy that I am here to tell this story and you know "ALIVE" thanks again Ford for scaring me away! Never going Ford again.
