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.
I had a blinker go out so I had my fiance replace it. When he took the lens off the wiring it was all melted together. Not in just the one light but in all 4 lights. I do not know what kind of safety issue this is but it worries me. I have two little ones that are always with me and I do not know if this is something that can catch fire. I pray that it doesn't. As stated in posted about me A/C-heater I will never own another FORD!!!
Every time we have a heavy sand storm or car wash, most the warning & chimes lights are going on such as; air bags, ABS, brake system, parking brake system, stability control system, speed control system, master light switch, fog lamps-front, battery, low tire pressure warning, door ajar system... etc.
It's happened around 15 times since i bought the car. First time I send the car to the dealer workshop & the kilometer was just 2000 KLM. Since that time it's continuously happened after each and every sand storm or car wash.
I understand from the dealer maintenance supervisor that the problem was due to the battery. So, they change the battery. Then it's happened again & they change the instrument cluster (speedometer). It's happened again ... and again ... and again & no clear solution for such likes this problem.
After a while, I discover that every time I send my car to the dealer workshop, it's coming older and older & I'm losing my money. All what they are doing is plug-off the battery connection & then plug it in again (system reset). After the reset everything will be fine and return back to its normal state. So, I do it by myself for several times to solve the problem temporary because I need the car.
I'm tired & exhausted financially & physically since I'm always losing my time in the dealer workshop & my money since I have to rent a car to do my business for almost 5-7 days while the car under maintenance.
So, I want a help….
