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.
THE BACK FIN WINDOW STRIPPING IS GOOEY AND IT IS COMING OFF. I HAVE CHECKED WITH OTHERS WHO ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. THIS GOOEY BLACK TAR LOOKING STUFF IS ALL OVER THE WINDOW. TOOK TO DEALER, THEY ARE FULLY AWARE OF THE ISSUE. SUPPOSEDLY CHECKED WITH CORPORATE TO SEE IF THEY WILL FIX, AND THE ANSWER IS NO. MY HUSBAND WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST APPROXIMATELY $400.00 TO FIX AND THE "FIX" IS THE SAME MATERIAL THAT IS ALREADY ON THE VEHICLE. I WOULD LIKE TO FILE A LAWSUIT AGAINST FORD FOR THIS DEFECTIVE PART.
