Used 2014 Ford Edge SEL 4dr SUV AWD (3.5L 6cyl 6A) Consumer Reviews
Sharp Edge
First of all it's a great car and gets lots of compliments. However, after owning a few SUV's in the past, I am disappointed that the rear tailgate window does not open. It is a fixed window which makes transporting certain items impossible. The Entertainment center is a bit confusing as I have read in almost all the reviews. So, more one has to dedicate time to learning how to use it as well as the climate control. But I'm sure I will love this Ford. Now that I've driven the Edge for several months , the one thing that bothers me is that the field of vision is not what I've been use to in the past. It's difficult to pull into a parking space and have the vehicle positioned right. This may be because the area where the front windshield pillars meet the hood leaves a great blind spot. Even for a person 6 feet tall, it's hard to see each front corner of the car.

Not sure I will buy another Ford
I really want to like my Ford Edge, but it is turning into a lemon. Loved the looks and ride, which is what sold me. 1 month into ownership and one of rear fold downs quit working. Had to take it in to get fixed. Then it started making a large anoying rattle. Took three trips in to get it corrected with a new rear seat. Then my low tire sensor has gone bad. They tell me to just keep filling the tire with air. No help. Two years into ownership, I had a battery die on me at the grocery store on a Sunday. No dealership open. Now the back up camera has quit working. I do not have all the time in the world to sit at the dealer while it gets fixed and it is very inconvenient to be down a vehicle. The Sync system is horrible. Voice commands cause nothing but frustration. Never does what you say.

DRIFTING PROBLEM
I drive a 2014 Edge and will advise others not to buy one. It starts and it runs but has a inherint design flaw with it's suspension. On a right sloping lane it will drift to the right if you take your hands off the sterring wheel and on a left sloping lane it will drift left . A 4 wheel alignment will not stop the drift. Neither will rotating the tires, nor will buying new tires help. Ford is hiding this problem. If you buy an Edge and complain to a Ford dealership about a drifting problem they will patronize you and fill your head with gobblygook untill you finally give up and go away.
