When the transmission self destructed in our 2013 Edge, we were caught in a fix it or trade it situation. So based on time and expense we traded for what was readily available on the lot. Unfortunately the dealer did not have a V6 Edge in stock, so we ended up with the 2.0 turbo engine. On the test drive it seemed ok, but not great. Having owned the car for two months now, I really wish we had taken the time to locate a V6. While the 5 mpg increase in fuel mileage is nice, the lack of off the line acceleration is very disappointing. After it builds some rpms, it does move out fairly well, but despite of all the horsepower and torque numbers, it is a slug. Also knowing this has the same GM/Ford transmission as our old Edge, it will be traded off well before 100,000 miles. It has an internal design flaw that is well known for creating havoc when the miles start adding up. Its taken three trips back to the dealer to get the rear hatch to stay closed, but I think it’s fixed for now. Changing the oil and filter is a major pain. No good center lift point for the floor jack, then the entire underside of the engine is covered with a large shield that has to be removed to access the oil drain and filter. Glad I do my own service so I don’t have to pay someone to do that extra task every time, but I am going to buy a cross beam adapter for the floor jack. This may be my last Ford passenger car, as I am disappointed in this one. We have now went past 100,000 miles. Ford replaced the engine under warranty at 50,000 miles due to an internal coolant leak into the combustion chamber. Head gasket or head, who knows because they didn’t look, they just swapped out the complete engine. No other troubles, and we have learned to live with the weak off the line acceleration. It does run strong once you get it rolling and up on boost. While the car was getting a new engine, the dealer loaned us a new Edge. We liked it even less. A dial for a shifter was less than promising and uncomfortable to use. The auto engine start stop when stopping was a nuisance, but we were able to disable it. I managed to get that one (AWD version) stuck in a small snow drift, that our FWD 18 could handle effortlessly. Nope, no more Edges for us, Ford ruined a good vehicle.

I have the SEL with the optional V6. It makes great power. I have the optional 8" screen with the safety package, awesome! With the SYNC3 you can use your smartphone with Waze as navigation on the 8" screen, so no need to buy the navigation. The gas mileage is fantastic for an SUV, 20.1mpg around town. This by far the most comfortable vehicle I have ever owned!

My 2018 Edge SEL has had three significant repair issues in the first 27,000 miles. (1) Improperly installed sunroof that resulted in high-pitch noise at 50 mph and above. (2) Dash screen died and went completely black two times requiring new computer. (3) Crack in engine block resulting in coolant leak into cylinder and requiring new engine. Continued vibration in front left at speeds above 50 mph. Would not recommend this vehicle based on my experience. Update: now at 93,000 miles no complaints other than left-front vibrations continue. Mostly highway driving, 24.2 mpg. NOW at 108,000 miles and no complaints other than continued left-front vibration.

I made the mistake of purchasing a 2018 Ford Edge SEL with the 2.0 Eco Boost Turbo. The car had 28,000 miles and ran fine until it didn’t. At 62,000 miles it shuttered pretty bad. Took it into my very trustworthy local mechanic I’ve used for years and learned I need a complete engine replacement!! Perfect. The term “Planned obsolescence” creeped into my mind right away. 2,000 miles past the 5 year / 60,000 mile mfr’s warranty. Bitter pill. My mechanic told me the engine sounded like a baby’s rattle. $7,000 to replace it with a Jasper engine. His advice to me was sell it bc this engine was not designed to handle the turbo Ford attached to the 2018-2020 models. He told me his supplier in St. Louis, MO had 150 of these engines in stock and selling them like hot cakes. I sold the car before I put 10,000 miles on it. Ford is ignoring they have a problem. There isn’t a recall for this either. I was told it has to be a safety situation for a car mfr to issue a recall. Hello? Catastrophic engine failure isn’t a potential safety issue? The plain fact is it’s just too expensive for them to replace how ever many thousands of Edge engines are failing. I’ve read that there are many of these engines are failing due to coolant leaking into the engines. My mechanic never said this was the problem with my engine although I’m not discounting it as a possibility. I did enroll in a class action lawsuit since I felt like I should do SOMETHING. It’ll be nickels if I see anything from that. Lawyers will make bank but the people that have actually been harmed will see very little. Buyer beware I guess!
