2010 Ford Edge: won't start

Driving on the freeway for about an hour, I got off of the freeway and a couple of stop lights later my car sputtered and shut down. I looked at the temp gauge and saw I was overheated. I received no warning or alerts on my dashboard. I let it cool for few minutes and was able to get out of the road into a parking lot. My radiator overflow was empty. I let it cool some more and put in 1 1/2 gallons of coolant. I started the engine, it started very rough. After a minute of running, coolant started pouring out of the front of my engine. I assume it was from the radiator. The engine shut itself down again and I left the car overnight. I came back the next day and had it towed to a repair shop. He turned the key and the engine wouldn't turn over. It was just click. He said, "that's not good." he attached his diagnostic equipment and a battery jumper. Same result. He said he didn't even need to look at my engine to know it was blown. The error messages on his equipment confirmed it. He put water in my radiator and put it under pressure. Water again started pouring out. He pulled out the oil pan drain plug and what looked like a vanilla milkshake oozed out. He inspected my water pump and confirmed that it had failed. It drained my radiator and my car overheated and blew the head in a matter of minutes, again with no indicators of any kind that something was wrong. I have to replace my engine. I still owe money on it so it's not worth it to trash the car. My car has only 70,000 miles on it. Upon doing research I found a class-action lawsuit against ford for this water pump problem problem. I'm trying to get in on it. Apparently there are thousands of cases exactly like mine and ford will not acknowledge it.

While in motion all the warning lights turned on and a warning beep would go off. It did this for 2 days, took it to get checked they told me a needed a new battery. Bough the battery and I still had same issue. Now the car won't start and the ford retailer wants $125 just to diagnose the car.

When the AC is running, the car will stall out. It has happened in traffic on the high way and surburban streets. When idle and ignition is turned off then on again, the vehicle will not start. After approx. 35-55 minutes the car will then start. Finally, it is happening after longer periods of time. I was parked in a lot for several hours, when I went to start it the car would not turn over. I had to have it towed to my house where it did start again 1.5 hours later. I fear for my children's lives.

Our 2010 ford edge in the past few years has stalled after making a slow turn on 4 separate occasions. During the first 3 occurances the we could the car immediately. The last occurance was last friday after coming out of a slow turn the car lost all functionality and I was able to roll to the side of the road where it would not start again and it had to be towed. When it got to the auto shop it started again and the mechanic could not recreate the problem or find a problem with their computer diagnostics. Needless to say the unexplained engine failure was not fixed. I am afraid to drive the vehicle anymore because of the potential of a serious accident resulting in injury or death.

The car wouldn't start. Seemed to be a fuel issue. Had it towed to the dealer. The service people tell us that the fuel pump has apparently been failing intermittently and overheated - melting the electrical connector. The fuel pump and electrical connector and labor will cost $1,078. It seems to us that this is a dangerous situation and, from what we hear from mechanics, is a known issue with the ford edge. However, only the 2014 model year has been recalled for fuel pump issues...
