Please Think This Purchase Thru Carefully

Yesterday morning I would have told you I love my Edge. Today it is junk. We bought our 2011 Edge used with 48,000 miles. It has been meticulously maintained and lovingly driven. We typically drive cars at least 200,000 miles and subscribe to the theory that if you take care of the car and replace parts when they need it, it will take care of you for a long time. Yesterday, two minutes after leaving my home, a light came on warning that my coolant was at a dangerous temperature. I had it towed only to discover that the water pump had failed and since it is internally located in the engine, it has destroyed my engine. I will either have to replace the engine, only to risk a repeat of this episode in 50,000 miles or so, or get another car. After researching this, I have found this is fairly common on the Edge, Flex, Taurus and F-150. Just to replace the water pump prior to catastrophic failure is over $2000 and they will fail at some point, folks.

First and Definitely Not Our Last

We bought our Edge with 150k on it and we have put a little over 10000 on it in a year. We love this car. Very reliable and comfortable with good storage space. The only complaints I have is that we didn’t get and AWD in Michigan, the tan cloth interior (not a lot of choice on a used car) and the problems with the touch screen and backup camera that are a known issue with the MyFord Touch. We will be looking at Edges again.

8 years & still love it

I’ve had this car exactly 8 years now and love it. I have had no maintenance issues, other than general schedule maintenance. It has been completely reliable, which is great as a single woman. It’s a very comfortable ride and I have people complement this car all the time. I’ve had friends say they can’t believe it’s eight years old based on the technology I have & how well it’s held up. I was a little worried when I purchased it with the touchscreen, but again, eight years and zero issues. Love, love, love this car! I’m surprised to see there are bad reviews, since I’ve had all positive experiences. But I guess people are more likely to post about negative experience than positive. If I had anything negative to say, there would be two things. It can be a little clunky on the down shift, but only in certain situations. By far this is not the majority of my experience. The other thing is the washer fluid comes out well, but the very bottom left corner of the windshield doesn’t get the liquid. So the wipers tend to just streak in that area. Certainly not a dealbreaker, but I would love if that didn’t happen.

We bought this car new in 2011 and have never had an issue with it, one of the best cars we have ever owned and I highly recommend the Edge is general.

2011 Edge SEL gas mileage

I purchase the edge new in April 2011. With only 1300 miles on the car we took our annual trip from Florida to Seattle WA. on the trip of 4218 miles we averaged 24.98 mpg. On our return trip of 4065 miles we average 26.87 mpg, which is exceptional in my opinion. This was the reason the Edge was purchased. The car is quite and very smooth to drive, the six speed is great when going down grades it automatically downshifts to maintain cruise speed. I drive at interstate speeds but do not use jackrabbit starts, is probably the key to the good mileage I get. The car now has 14000 +miles and the more I drive, the better I like the for Edge.
