Used 2015 Ford Edge Sport 4dr SUV (2.7L 6cyl Turbo 6A) Consumer Reviews
Fun at first! Nightmare when things go wrong!
I had my Ford Edge Edge towed to the local Ford dealership here in Idaho Falls, ID on November 23rd. It is now December 24th and it is sitting at the dealership under a couple feet of snow. I have just made my car payment for my reliable Ford vehicle. Two modules went out that control the remote entry and the push button ignition. I was stranded in the middle of winter with no heat and had to call for a tow. The dealership has been horrible with communication. I was sent to my regional customer service representative who said he would work on getting the part here faster. I was told the part would be here on December 17th. I finally called that evening to find out that the weather has slowed the shipping and it should be in on the 18th. Apparently the mule they are using walks very slow cause the shipment came in last night. It is now almost 11:09 am in Idaho and they still have not located the part. No vehicle for the weekend! Repairs made this year on my Ford Edge: -Main system that runs my climate and radio had to be replaced. -Rails on panoramic roof needed replacement. -Alarm stopped working on automatic tailgate stopped working. -Brake Booster tore. Known problem. -PTU seal leaking and stinks up car. Known problem -Two modules went out on remote entry and ignition. This caused my battery to fry and needed replacement. ****Please read the car complaints forum's before you buy a Ford Edge***** I would not recommend this vehicle to a friend or family member!

Sporty Luxury Crossover
The EDGE Sport has lots of bells and whistles including Front/Rear climate controlled seats and terrific safety features (blind spot, peripheral collision warnings, front/rear cameras, parking assist). Surprisingly excellent, effortless and smooth acceleration from a 4cyl. Sleek body style, keyless entry, remote start and comfort's a plus. Ford's SYNC system is a little daunting to setup, because of the 400K possible voice commands controlling entertainment, climate, comm, and nav systems. The spectacular panoramic moon roof stretches the length of the vehicle. Roomy lighted cargo area with rear seats up (including electric rear seat controls accessible near the hatch) and handsfree lift gate that sounds a safety alarm when opening and closing. It would be nice to have a handstrap on the gate for manual operation and a bumper step, otherwise, it's solid. Lots of USB and accessory ports! The only downside is Ford's 60K warranty. Doesn't cover all electrical. However, I found that the extended coverage was price negotiable. Overall a pretty good value for the $42K price (incl TTL).

Rattle Rattle Rattle
Just bought a 2015 Edge SE that now has 2,000 miles. So far, several things have happened: 1. Tire Pressure Sensor Fault keeps going on and off. 2. Seems my gas gauge must be related to Houdini. I parked the Edge with half a tank and the next morning, a quarter tank had disappeared! (The service guy at the local Ford dealer said it was possible someone had stolen gas. No. The vehicle is kept in the garage 95% of the time. 3. Mysterious rattle in the front right passenger side. Motor Trend magazine said the cabin was "littered with rattles." Seems Ford thinks rattles are a sign of quality. 4. Not getting the advertised gas mileage. This maybe due to break in period. I hope it is. A vehicle should not rattle with just 2,000 miles on it. And the vehicle has only been on pavement, not off road. If Ford does not fix this, then this will be my only Ford and will urge everyone I know NOT TO BUY a Ford. UPDATE: Well, the Edge now has 8,800 miles on it and another problem has developed. There is a noticeable "clunking" sound when the steering wheel is turned to the right. The "clunk" or "thud" can be felt through the floor board as well. I am not the only one who has heard it. My wife has heard the noise and my dad who used to be a Ford mechanic. It will be interesting to see if the Ford dealership hears the noise or says it is normal. I can tell you it was not making this noise when I bought the car. And the rattles continue. Now, there is a rattle behind the instrument console.

Rental good enough to own
Very car like ambience, ride quality and handling. It feels like the center of gravity is much lower than it actually is with flat cornering and a composed ride. Impressive NVH suppression in Titanium edition despite the bigger wheels. Wait for 2016 and Sync3, as the current touch screen is often counterintuitive and as slow as molasses. Good connectivity and power supply options available except USB below center stack is almost impossible to reach. Hands free lift gate leads to cavernous and well finished cargo area. Back seats roomy and with easy ingress/egress. Not sure about structural build quality as you can watch the hood sheet metal vibrating a bit along the power bulges stamped into it, but the cage structure seems quite stiff and protective. Flashy lighting and upscale features. A very good Ford.

Cubic Zirconia in Diamond's clothing
I just leased my 2015 SEL in October. I love the way it drives and handles on the road. However; it has been in the shop twice with electrical issues in a month. The first time was when I tried to turn on the heat and no air came out. It turned out being a faulty pin according to the dealer. The next time was an electrical issue that prevented the car from starting and just about every warning light came on in the process. I'm beginning to question the reliability of this model. I traded in my 2013 Focus for the Edge, thinking that I was getting a better made vehicle , as I had electrical problems with the Focus, as well. To add insult to injury, the dealer (Lester Glenn) has a ridiculous loaner car program where there is a two week wait and only about 3 vehicles, according to the service manger. Are you kidding? Perhaps if there is that much volume in the service department, the dealer should invest in more loaner cars. Also, they should give priority to customers who purchase vehicles at the dealer. FORD= Fix Or Repair Daily! I traded it for a Jeep Grand Cherokee. I will never ever ever ever lease or buy another Ford!
