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.
Drops into neutral after stop and will not move forward again until moving selector through park, reverse, drive and then still will not go until you mess with-it a while then may move with the RPM running high. Had similar problem with Grand Caravan.I replaced the transmission input output sensors and problem went away. The national Transmission repair company said nothing was wrong. So much for the expert advice from the professionals.
