2016 Ford Edge SEL 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6A)

We bought an AWD SEL for my wife with every option. As soon as the car went out of warranty, the Pano Roof, Power Trunk and Power Driver Window stopped working. Took it to Ford dealer who quoted $5300 to fix?!? They told me to call Ford corporate for some assistance. Ford corportate told me that since the vehicle is out of warranty (by 2000 miles), they would not help at all. This car is worthless and a HUGE EXPENSE. Don't make the same mistake we did.

2016 Ford Edge Titanium 4dr SUV (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6A)
5 of 5 people found this review helpful
Over 4 years and 100000 miles: a. 2016 edge is a vast improvement over the 2014 model I traded. b. 4cylinder turbo is much smoother than the regular v6. c. With Michelin tires it is definitely quiet. My friend owns 2018 Lexus RX350 made the comment. She was very impressed with the ride quality. d. Had adoptive steering warning but disappeared after a couple years. I suspect it was a software bug. e. 24-25 averaged MPG. 28-30 MPG on highway. f. Brake system is very responsive. lasted 100000 miles with my driving habit. g. Wonderful frontal collision warning (audio and visual) h. Only repair was a broken water pump. i. Plenty trunk space, even for a Magic Chef 10.1 cf refrigerator bought at Home Depot. Last but not least, I used only full synthetic oil every 8000 miles to keep the engine running smooth and quiet.

6 day Edge Titanium Rental

I just finished a six day rental of a '16 Ford Edge Titanium with the Ecoboost 2.0 4 engine, driving it from south Florida to northern Georgia (mountains), down through the west Georgia boonies where The Walking Dead is filmed, then back south. It averaged 28 - 29 mpg on the open (highway/interstate) road, 22 mpg in town per the fuel economy computer. Not bad - gas mileage is better than a 2013 Toyota Highlander that I drove for awhile. The performance of the Ecoboost 4 engine is pretty impressive, considering the weight of the Edge (4000+ lbs) vs the small size of the 2.0 liter engine, and it does move it along pretty well. However, if you've carrying a load of people & luggage in a hilly area, you’ll sometimes wish you had another 15 ponies and 20 pound/feet of torque on tap. With a full load, this engine in this vehicle gets the job done, but you won’t have a lot of reserve power to spare. To be fair, compared to the POS '14 Ford Edge rental I drove two years ago that had a brutally punishing and miserable ride, the '16 Edge is a big overall improvement from their new Sync 3 system (great!) to the relatively improved ride, seat comfort, braking and handling. It was very strange, however, that this loaded Titanium didn’t have a navigation system!!!! Nearly a $37k MSRP car??? Huh??? This being said… this ’16 Titanium didn't close the deal for my family for a purchase, and here’s why: It rode pretty smoothly and fairly quietly only on the most glass-like asphalt road. I don’t know where some Edmunds reviewers say that this SUV is soooo ‘quiet” – it is NOT, and on some types of macadam and asphalt roads, the road noise is surprisingly LOUD. Obviously, these reviewers must be deaf, happy Ford fanatics, or previously drove Yugos or 1950 Ford pickups. On any other road surface than smooth asphalt, the ride was frequently nervous and bumpy on all but the smoothest of surfaces. The car thumped and bumped over minor broken pavement, you felt every imperfection in the road through the steering wheel and your seat. The road noise from the 19” Hankook 245/55R19 Venus S1 noble tires (set at 35psi per the manufacturer's recommendation) and through the vehicle’s floorpan was a bit excessive, especially since this was the Titanium model. I shudder to think how the Edge Sport must ride and sound with it's even lower profile tires/larger (20") wheels. Frankly, we were surprised and a bit shocked at this after reading all of the glowing reports from Edmunds reviewers about the "smooth ride" on this new Edge. Ummmmmm, NO. Maybe these people think that a SUV/crossover HAS to ride stiffly and with pronounced road noise. No, they do NOT have to be this way. For these reasons, these observations were definitely NOT my definition of a ‘Titanium’ level in my opinion, and the probable deal breaker for a potential purchase. With the improvements in automotive industry suspension and sound reduction technology introduced over the past few years, there is certainly no excuse for Ford not producing a smoother riding and quieter crossover than this new top of the line Edge. Perhaps the Edge SEL might ride a little better (and a little quieter) with it's 18” wheels & tires (I recently learned that you CAN order an Edge Titanium w/18" wheels & tires). If so, a ‘16 Edge SEL could be worth a serious look if you're looking for a quieter and smoother ride. In the meantime, I suggest that Ford needs to talk to Kia, and closely examine a '16 Sorento. I rented a lowly '16 Sorento LX w/V6 a few months ago, and it was definitely a quieter, smoother riding, and faster (V6) SUV than this '16 Edge Titanium, and at a MUCH lower price. Don't take MY word for it - rent one from Avis or Enterprise for a few days like I did, and wring it out. If you own a new Edge, you may be a bit upset after driving one of these SUVs. BTW, the '16 Sorentos in EX & SXL trim are even quieter, more comfortable, and ride about as well as their lower trim LX, despite having 19" or 20" wheels & tires!!! Overall, the new Edge is a bit of a disappointment for a SUV we really wanted to like. Back to the drawing board, Ford – Kia can get the job done with their Sorento, so, you can too. Try again!! <br><br><br><br>

The engine failed at 55K miles. I am told this is a known problem with the turbo engine of the 2016 Edge, as well as recent models. Thank goodness we have extended warranty, but this may get us a rebuilt engine - not a new one. And either will be the same turbo model with the same problem. I’m looking around to trade this in but everyone is afraid of it. I understand. I AM too. There have been minor problems too, e.g. wipers, navigation, Bluetooth and rear foot-controlled hatch. And yes, we still owe on the darn thing. I had hoped they would give us a new car since Ford knew of this problem when we purchased it in Nov of 2016. We’ve had to cancel our vacation (I don’t trust the 100K Fusion I was lent) and out of town trips to my husband’s doctors (cancer patient). Please warn others. AND PLEASE DON’T ENTER ME IN THE CONTEST.

Too many rattles

I’ve owned my 2016 Ford Sport for one year and placed nearly 20K miles on it. My seventh vehicle in my lifetime. Overall I’ve enjoyed driving it, but recently concluded this isn’t a long-term vehicle. It’s been in the shop six times so far. Far more times than any other vehicle I’ve purchased. Four times to fix rattles (plate under the vehicle, one issue with the driver’s console, and a reoccurring issue with the sunroof). Ford warranties only last 3 years/36K miles so if you want this vehicle, I recommend leasing it or expect to spend money as it ages.
