CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2015 Ford Edge has a trend of the engine dying while driving, which is typically considered a safety issue.
Owners report the stalling while driving problem is caused by the throttle body needing replacement. The problem typically occurs at low mileage & so the issue has been covered under warranty -- although by now, the 2015 Edge is generally past the full warranty period.

9/28/2022 after tire rotation, the mechanic notes "Technician noted lug nuts are swelling. Should replace at next tire rotation. $10 per nut plus labor" ALL FOUR TIRES
After experiencing a flat tire on an Interstate, we discovereed the Ford-supplied lug wrench could not fit over the lug nuts without the person helping laying across a lane on the interestate and kicking the lug wrench over the lug nut. And, then, disengaging the lug wrench took extreme effort. The person helping me could have been killed by traffic ignoring the position of my car. There is ample reference to the lug nut problem on Google'd Web pages. The lug nuts on our Edge have not been inspected, yet. No warning lamps apply to this problem.

Lug nuts were two piece and fell apart after a few years. Unable to remove tire for rotation or flat tire with standard wrench Dealer called lug nuts-€swollen -€œ One piece lug nuts are available and purchased by me.
According to Bob Tomes Ford in McKinney, Texas, they are unable to rotate the tires on my vehicle because the lug nuts are swollen and would have to be cut off and replaced to fix. This leaves me with an unsafe vehicle and an inability to change the tire should I have a flat.
The factory installed lugs nuts have become swollen and now the lug nut wrench which is provided by Ford does NOT fit the lug nuts! If I tried to change a flat tire I would be unable to do this since the lug nut wrench does NOT fit the lug nuts!!!!
According to local dealership, a common problem with lug nuts swelling. Dealer couldn't remove wheels and rotate tires in accordance with tire mfg. (Goodyear) guidlines.
Lug nuts could not be removed with manufacturer's lug nut wrench, after a tire deflated while driving on interstate 75 in Kentucky. The wrench would not fit over the lug nuts. An aftermarket lug nut wrench would also not remove the nuts (21mm was too small; 22mm was too large). The lug nuts on the wheels are original manufacturer installed nuts. Car had to be driven on the flat tire to service center for wheel removal, destroying the tire in the process.
The wheel lug nuts swell up so that a 21mm wrench wont fit and a 22mm wrench is too loose. The lugs are a two piece construction and what happens is the inner piece ca roads and swells the outside piece. Dealer says all 20 nuts have to be replaced at a coast of $200. Ford has had this problem for years ! my nephew had the same problem on his 2011 F-150 Ford truck.I called Ford customer service and they gave me a claim number cas-17162485. This is a safety issue because if I get a flat tire my lug wrench is useless and I would be stranded. Please look into this problem, talking with the Ford service tech.at the Ford dealership this has been a ongoing problem for years
