DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH AND 2010 FORD EDGE COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. I HAD NO WARNING, ALL GAUGES WERE OFF, NO POWER, AND NO HAZARD LIGHTS. FORD HAS HAD THE CAR FOR 10 DAYS TRYING TO FIX IT. THEY HAVE PUT 200 MILES ON IT AND BROUGHT IN A FORD ENGINEER (SPECIALIST) TO TRY AND LOCATE AND FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, CANNOT FIGURE WHAT CAUSED IT AND HAVE NOT REPLACED NOR FIXED ANY PARTS ON THE CAR. THEY WANT TO RELEASE THE CAR BACK TO ME TO WAIT AND SEE IF AND WHEN IT HAPPENS AGAIN. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE AS THIS CAR HAS A KNOWN SERIOUS SAFETY DEFECT WITH POTENTIAL CATASTROPHIC CONSEQUENCES. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2010 EDGE LIMITED FOR A GIFT & THE NEXT DAY I NOTICED THE STRONG ODOR OF ANTIFREEZE COMING FROM THE HEATING SYSTEM. MY WIFE ALSO NOTICED THE SAME ODOR WHEN SHE DROVE IT CHRISTMAS DAY. SHE HAS TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER IT WAS PURCHASED FROM & THE LOCAL DEALER & BOTH SAY THEY CAN NOT FIND ANY PROBLEM. IT IS VERY NOTICEABLE WHEN THE ENGINE IS COLD, THEN COMES & GOES THROUGH OUT THE DAY. BEING A MECHANIC FOR OVER 35 YEARS TELLS ME THE HEATER CORE AND OR RELATED COMPONENTS HAVE A VERY SMALL COOLANT LEAK. WE HAVE TO CRACK A WINDOW OR OPEN THE SUNROOF WHEN THE HEAT IS ON TO LET THE FUMES ESCAPE OR YOU CAN STAND TO BE IN THE CAR. *TR
