Thanks for the info Maavalous1. I too love my Edge but this issue has the potential to be catastrophic if it happens to hit while on the freeway in the middle of traffic with no easy way to get to the shoulder.
Since it first happened, I cannot and will not have my family inside and I will be contacting whoever I need to in order to get this resolved. When this happens again, hopefully it is in an area where I can power off the card and get it towed to a dealership. I will be calling a few of the local dealerships to see if any of them are A) aware of the issue and B ) willing to work with me on getting it fixed (I'll still be contacting Ford directly). Probably a long shot but I am willing to give it a shot since I am within the 3/36K b2b warranty.
