A few years ago I got a 2008 Ford Edge and it had tons of problems shortly after buying it. I had an $800 fan replacement done; then the same day it overheated once I got it home. So I took it to Carmax and they offered me 2k for it because the transmission was slipping as well. I loved the look of it as well as the space, so I figured maybe if I got a newer model I wouldn’t have issues. Unfortunately not the case. I got a 2016 Ford Edge titanium and the day I drove it home from the dealership it leaked all coolant and the engine light came on. We added more coolant and the problem went away for about a week. Then the engine light came on again. Basically it needed an entire new engine which costed 7,300$. Luckily I had a great warranty which covered this cost. Apparently this is a common issue in this car. The coolant leaks into the engine and destroys it over time. I am now looking to trade this in to avoid future issues. I don’t think I will ever purchase a Ford again.

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.

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.

This car up until now has been perfect for me. It's comfortable, stylish, with AWD able to go almost anywhere, and it has great acceleration with the twin turbos. I am a driving enthusiast and I like the way this car feels and handles. We have taken comfortable road trips and it can cruise effortlessly at 90 MPH. However, there have been some issues with the car. At 60,000 it makes a chattering noise at a cold start for about 1 sec. I believe it is the tension springs on the timing chain. The dealer said it is common with this engine and it won't hurt anything, it just takes the oil a second to get there. Currently they are replacing the 3rd plastic oil pan, again under warranty. I wonder how much it will cost to have it replaced out of warranty. Now I am thinking of trading it in for a new Edge ST.

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>
