We have the same issues with our 2010 Edge. about 35000 kms on it now.
It seems more prevelant in the colder temps, and now that it is getting cold it's getting worse again.

When crossing an intersection, the vehicle will start to cross, then hesitate for a few seconds, and then BAM, you would think someone has rear-ended you and across you go....very scary, especially if someone is coming up to the intersection from the side and you are trying to get across.

I am going to contact our Ford dealer this week.
