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.
Similar to many complaints about the computer defect impacting the ignition coils. The car ran fine for 60,000 miles, then started shuttering and would not accelerate...3 coils replaced and the problem did not get better. Now having the PCM and other three coils replaced. Someone mentioned that there was an active class-action suit against Ford, I'd be interested in more information if available. The manufacturer clearly knew this was an issue for some time and never issued a recall.
