Wow, thanks for all the feedback! It hasn't happened again since the first two times. I haven't done anything. I'm still on the same tank of gas. I do drive the car every day, but it's only a 10 minute drive to work. I will let you know if it happens again or not. I do love my Edge! Thanks, Jim

Looking to see if anyone else is seeing this. My 08 Edge limited with 4,000 miles likes to die when I stop. It's happened twice in a week time frame. The first time I pulled into a parking place, and when I came to a complete stop the engine stopped at the same time. The second time I was backing out of my driveway and the engine stopped at the same time I fully braked to shift into drive... The gages and idiot lights are lit, but no vroom vroom. History o all 4 rotors replaced due to pitting at <200 miles. o 2 x transmission slippage at < 2000 miles. o 2 x engine dies at stop at < 4000 miles. $32k is a lot to pay for a car with these sort of problems. The cool look does not compensate...

I have an 08 Limited and have had the same slippage problem. I have only seen it two times, and oddly enough it was leaving a restaurant we go to from time to time. So the transmission was probably not cooled down to room temperature. The road had a slight incline. It slipped at about the same RPM and I believe it was from 2nd to 3rd. It happened before I put 1000 miles on it, and it's never done it since then. However now I have a car (4000 miles) that likes to die when you stop. It's happened twice in a week time frame. The first time I pulled into a parking place, and when I came to a complete stop the engine stopped at the same time. The second time I was backing out of my driveway and the engin stopped at the same time I fully braked to shift into drive... Yay, fun.
