Some Ford Edge owners report experiencing starting issues or the vehicle dying while driving without any diagnostic codes appearing. Common causes include a dead or weak battery, which is frequently cited as a reason for these problems. Additionally, issues with the starter or alternator may contribute to starting difficulties. Corrosion on battery terminals or cables can also hinder the starting operation, while a loss of high voltage spark at the spark plugs may be another underlying factor. Owners are advised to check battery health and connections, test the starter motor, and verify the condition of the alternator and fuel system components when troubleshooting. Repairing a dead or weak battery is usually an inexpensive fix, but addressing starter or alternator issues may incur higher costs. Regular maintenance and prompt repairs are essential to prevent such issues and ensure the Ford Edge operates smoothly.
