CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2016 Edge is starting to show a similar trend to the prior model year of the engine stalling while driving, which owners report is typically caused by low-mileage problems with the throttle body. This is typically considered a safety defect.

Under hard acceleration there is strong smell in the cabin that smells like sulfur it has gotten so bad that I have to drive with my windows open and I carry a carbon monoxide detector because I'm worried about the fumes being toxic. I do a lot of highway driving so most of the times it occurs on the highway it also happen in city driving from full stop.
Car has died multiple times at high rate of speed. Dealer says no codes thrown. Used 3 quarts oil before 5000 miles. Exhaust smoked horribly. Deceleration issues constantly. Last time it died on freeway dealer said throwing codes and engine needs replacing. They have had vehicle since December 14 2016. They tried to replace heads and it blew up engine. Car has less than 9000 miles. Vehicle died multiple times on freeway. Deceleration issues occurred both from full stop and acceleration on freeway entrance ramp. Vehicle has been in shop 3-4 times since purchased in late August 2016.
Both back lights and back mid light compartments are not sealed. The water retains in there that creates electrical shortcut, . the sales man said he saw already several cars with the problem, . my car had at least 1 or 1 1/2 inch high water was in there- all 3 back lights. Danger for car fire and possible explosion from electrical short cut from water in the back light.
Driving down the road and the vehicle suddenly went to idle. Had to coast to a stop on the side of the road. The car was still idling but when I tried to give it gas, nothing happened. I shut the car off, restarted and it worked fine. Approx. 10 miles later, did the same thing. Car only has 9,200 miles. I drive the interstate daily and this is going to be very dangerous if it happens there. Will be at the dealer at 9:00am sharp tomorrow.
