My daughter was driving the car and the vehicle stalled out. A warning light for low oil pressure came on however the oil was change 1 week ago. This is very dangerous because she was on a very busy highway. Also when putting gas in the car it sometimes will not start.

Won't start by model year
What owners say
Suv won't crank when it's too hot (above 90 degrees). Every summer I have this problem. Sometimes it will crank if I put the car in neutral.
Vehicle had brake booster recall 13 no2 done previously. And brake booster has gone out again. Car does not start properly ford will not warranty the repair.
There is a leak/crack in the fuel neck. Every time I refuel the vehicle, it will not start right away. After a minute it will start. The dealer recommended I spend $600 to replace it. Also, driver window is scraping when it goes up and outside decorative panel paint is fading.
Have had lights stay on, come back on or radio turn on in garage after it has been sitting for a while. 10 or more instances of the battery being completely discharged after being turned off in garage for two to four days. There will be no problems for a long time followed by times when every other week there is a problem to having to disconnect the battery every night or it won't start. We have replaced the battery 4 or 5 times and have again on a new deep cycle battery having problems. Also had vehicle shut down at a stop sign in first 6 months to year of life. The dealership said it was some sort of fuel thing that needs to be cleaned every 10,000 miles to keep it from happening again. However, it could easily have been the battery, my wife was driving and is not mechanically inclined. We have had constant battery problems but no further fuel issues.
As I was driving to work, my vehicle stalled on the highway. Without any check engine light or sounds the gas pedal didn't have anything to it, it just went all the way down and then died. The engine would turn, but it's as if gas wasn't getting to the engine and it wouldn't start. I tried a couple times to start it, no success. Still no warning lights. As the tow company was on the way, about 20 minutes later, I tried again and it started. As if nothing was wrong. No vehicles were behind me to hit me when it died and I was able to steer to the shoulder. I went to ford service later on and I was told that since none of the warning lights came on there more than likely is not a code to diagnose the problem, but it sounds like the fuel pump. I now drive the vehicle hoping it doesn't happen again. There is a recall on 2013 ford edge fuel system, but mine is not one to be recalled.
Had the car for a year and never a problem until now. My 2013 ford edge has 43,000 on it. My car will not start (battery is good). Sometimes will click but not start. Sometimes it struggles to start. Sometimes it starts, rattles and then shuts off by itself. I have read horror stories of this particular year of the ford edge. People losing power of car on major highways, cutting off unexpectedly!!! I'm terrified to drive my car. I have 4 kids who often are in my car with me especially now that it's summer time. After reading countless complaints about similar problems and worst, it's time for ford to recall all these cars and figure out the problem before someone gets killed and they have major lawsuit since problems have been documented time and time again. I loved my car until I read all the problems and complaints. I want to get rid of it now but owe too much still on it. So fix the problem ford!!!!! Now.....
The engine will not start when the temperature outside is high (105+ degrees). During the heat of the day, engine will not start (no clicking, no sounds, nothing). Radio comes on, air comes on, I am able to change gears, roll down windows, etc. There are no issues in the morning or evening when the day is cooler. The check engine light does come on only when I am having the issue. Once car eventually starts, the check engine light goes off.
Issue occurred twice in my car within a month. 1st one, I was driving on highway with my family in speed of around 60 mile/hours due to traffic, all off sudden a message pooped up on my screen to park the car. As I was driving inner lane so could not park on shoulder side but parked inner side which was very dangerous. Car lost power and did not start but heater was on with high heat and fan. All lights were off could not switch on emergency lights. I towed my car to local shop in that town to find the issue but they could not find anything. They could manage to shut off the heater and next day it worked but they asked me to take to ford dealer shop. I took the car to ford dealer shop in my town but they also did not find any issue and assure that issue will not happen again and safe to drive. Which was strange to me that without knowing the actual reason how they can be so sure that this car is safe to drive again. 2nd incident was in local street when my wife was reversing the car from the driveway then staring suddenly locked and car got shut off. As car was middle of the road with baby so few people came to help and push the car back into the driveway. My wife tried to start again and car got started. We took the car to ford dealer shop again and again they did not find any issue. Ford gave us car back and make sure that this car is safe to drive.
Shut off engine, pulled out the key, while leaving the vehicle the ignition alarm was sounding like the key was still in ignition. Had to reinsert key pull it out and the ignition alarm shut off. The second time the car would not start untill the ignition was jiggled with key in same.
The brake fluid line on the rear brakes was not allowing brake fluid through therefore causing the rear brake pads to continually stay engaged. The outer rim of both rear rotors was completely charred and burnt red along with the surface of the rotor being completely worn and gouged. I was told by the repair shop that I was lucky they did not start a fire from running so hot. The rear rotors, pads and brake fluid lines all had to be replaced.
