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.
Bought car used on a rare rainy January day in Los Angeles. Didn't even think to try AC/heater. It simply did not blow-- did not matter if it was AC or heat, just did not blow. Had to replace blower motor, but even now, it's a really pathetic AC system that takes forever to get cold and does not blow hard.
Update from Nov 3, 2017: I had to replace all my coils & spark plugs (second time around for all but 1 coil-- I found they had all been replaced prior to me purchasing the car, along with the PCM), and interestingly, to me at least, the AC started blowing colder. Or maybe I'm just crazy, but every little positive is a glimmer of hope with this car....
I'm about to list several issues with this car, this isn't the worst of them. But the A/C compressor is difficult to and was expensive to have replaced.
In bumper to bumper traffic A/C will not blow very hard then after you start moving again the a/c will kick back on. DEALERSHIP RESPONSE NOT ABLE TO DUPLICATE
