Used 2008 Ford Edge Consumer Reviews
Great Car with Recent and Alarming Issues
I have a 2008 Ford Edge with 55k miles - 3 Times in the Last year when I have been attempting to accelerate- All of my warning lights turn on - My spedometer gets stuck at zero, and I am unable to accelerate above 5 miles per hour for a significant, and dangerous amount of time. Took car into shop and they were unable to find any issues. Looking online it seems many other people have had the same problem and ford is unable, or unwilling to address the issue. Very Dangerous.

Loved the car for 8 years, but then....
Beware of the the water pump on the 3.5L engine. Search the internet lots of water pump failures resulting in severe engine damage. I loved this car. I purchased it new, no problems until 92K when the water pump failed with no warning. No warning lights, no fluid leaks. If you're thinking of buying one used with a 3.5L, be sure to have the water pump checked out first. I still really like the car, but it also has the takata airbag recall. I am still awaiting information from Ford on when parts will be available.

Excellent Edge
This car has been very good to me. Minimal large maintenance bills. Very comfortable, roomy and handles pretty good.I am 60yrs old and have owned 13 cars in my life and this Edge has been the best that I have ever owned.Very good gas mileage,19mpg city and 23 highway. Would have liked a V-8 engine but the V-6 is ample. Also interior color of black isn't my favorite. Bought used with 97,000mi. Now has198,700mi. Love it!

2008 Edge SEL
Good car over all. Bought it new and owned it now for 4 years. Pleasant to drive. Interior design is a bit poor. I saw a 2012 model and they made a lot of improvements. Gas millage is worse than advertised which is the biggest drawback for me. I get 16-17 mixed according to computer, from day 1.
LOVE my new Edge ! =]
I traded in my 2009 Chevrolet Malibu LT for my new Edge. When I test drove this SUV, I was HOOKED! Awesome performance and very fun to drive. Sporty look inside and out! I feel safe in this vehicle and I LOVE the room!
