oil pan leak on 2.7 eng. Adaptive steering fault

The 2.7 ecoboost is a great engine - but check to see if the oil pan leaking issue has been addressed on the recently built engines. Research it on the web - very common issue on the 2.7 liter motors due to faulty adhesive used on the carbon fiber oil pans on this engine. The pan has to be replaced to repair it. This issue more common on the F-150 truck which has the same 2.7 engine in many of them. The pan oil leak is not seen on many Edges since the Sport version is the only model in 2016 to have the 2.7 engine. The vehicle has been to shop twice for a fault on the adaptive steering system. On the initial shop visit (shortly after purchase) the fault was cured in a few minutes with an upgraded software. The current fault (per the dealer) can only be repaired by replacing the steering wheel - which apparently has all the electronics for the adaptive steering built in to it. The steering wheel replacement has not been completed as of the date of this report due to dealer not having the part in stock. These two issue are unfortunate because I love the car. My wife is not nearly as understanding and wants to "dump" the car now. FYI: for you "do it yourself oil change folks" this vehicle is a snap. The plastic oil drain plug comes right off with a 180 degree twist (and I mean instantly off) - when the plug is twisted the 180 the oil is coming out full bore. Also the oil filter is located up top and can be accessed from under the hood. (but get yourself a 27mm socket to unscrew the filter housing). This engine is designed for the oil to stay up in the engine and not fall to the pan instantly - which means the oil needs to be "hot" and also leave the drain plug out for an extended length of time. The navigation system is less than impressive - Garmin or the iPhone is better.

Porsche Cayenne for way less

I actually test drove the Porsche, Audi, BMW, Lexus and Audi analogues to the Ford Edge Sport. Saved not less than $15,000 (and more like $25,000 for comparably equipped) and the Edge is every bit as much the 'driver's car'. Steering is a little on the light side but extremely responsive. Acceleration is very strong (coming from a current Mustang GT Boss owner and a former Audi S4 owner). Brakes are solid and while I haven't beaten them up too much, they don't seem to fade even under hard use. Fit and finish is generally very good but not quite up to the Lexus or Audi standards. Unless you walk around the car with a ruler though, you probably won't notice any real hiccups. We bought a completely decked out model so it has pretty much every bell and whistle. All seem to work well but you'll need to spend some quality time with either the user manual or your dealership to figure it all out. The major control are straightforward and can be controlled by either real buttons or the touchscreen. I highly recommend the adaptive cruise control. It's a little freaky at first but not having to constantly jigger your speed is a very pleasant experience. My only negative, and it's not a big one, is that we sprung for the 21 inch wheels. They look great but I'm not excited about the Pirelli Scorpion tires. They are a little on the noisy side and I'm not super confident with their wet traction (then again, I live in Arizona so not a big issue here). If I were to do it over again, I'd stick with the 20" wheels and thus protect my rims from curbs. Overall, unless the reliability becomes an issue, I don't think you can go wrong with this car.

So far I am very happy with my Ford Edge. Another coworker bought one the week before me and we've both noted that they are very zippy. The Edge has the power to take off right away which is helpful getting into traffic and is very smooth. The steering wheel feels good and everything seems to be in a place that makes sense. The hands-free technology is great with the bluetooth connection to your phone. You can make calls/receive calls and hear texts without being distracted. The lane assist is helpful and there are so many camera and distance auto-detect features that if you get into an accident it will be your fault not the car's. The distance auto-detection is helpful when pulling into tight spaces like a packed 2-car garage. The quality of the interior is excellent. I think the Ford technology package is better than the Acura's where the user interface is blocky. The kids love the feature to swing their leg under the back to get the cargo hatch to open. My only minor materials issue is some of the plastic edging on the rear door feels sharp and could be smoothed a bit. The heated/cooled seats and climate control is great. Both of my large dogs fit into the cargo area so they never have to sit in the back seat. I felt that I got just a good of a vehicle as the Acura MDX without the cost.

I love my Edge Sport! The acceleration is fantastic. Very Comfortable, easy for an old guy like me to get in and out. The rear camera is now something I cannot live without (I hate driving my other vehicles that don't have one.) There are so many bells and whistles that even after a year I am still learning about them. I live in the mountains and drive it hard and get 19 MPG. Our roads washed out last year so I had to drive everyday up and down a muddy fire trail. It was no problem with the AWD. I only have 3 issues to complain about. The tires that came with it (pirelli) are easy to puncture on the sidewall causing me to have to buy 2 new tires during the past year ($275 each). At 35,000 miles I switched to Aturo tires that I got from Walmart for less than half the price of the Pirellis that rode as well and no punctures for 30,000 miles. I just replaced them with the same. I am still dealing with very slight oil leaks from the oil pan. Ford replaced it twice under warranty. Other than that I love the car. I would buy another one if something happened to this one.

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.
