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 this car used. Ran great for months. Recently the dummy lights on the dash all started lighting up. Sometimes they go off again and sometimes they don't. NOW they are staying on anytime we drive the SUV. Just yesterday we noticed the battery had died. Also noticed when I got in the car there was a blue dummy light all lit up on the dash, even before I put the key into the ignition. Think that's why the battery is dead.
Took SUV to Auto Zone, they aid battery has a dead cell, replaced battery. Blue dummy light is still on and isn't going off even when there are no key in the ignition.
SO ANNOYED.
I am disabled and live on a small fixed income. I cannot afford this.
Also have 2 recalls that have no fix at this time. Every time I call the dealership here they are still "waiting on parts".

I will NEVER buy another Ford.
