r/FordEdge

A low thumping sound when driving slow and turning. Seems to be coming more from the rear passenger, but makes the noise whether turning right or left in a circle.

Considering a 2016 Ford Edge Titanium V6 AWD ($14k, 135k km, 1-owner, clean Carfax) for a 4–5 year city commuter. My hard ceiling is $15k under 150k km. Carfax notes a PCM reprogram at 122k, steering wheel swap at 81k, and an axle seal/shifter bushing at 71k. Is this 3.5L V6 reliable long-term, and what specific mechanical issues should I inspect during a test drive?

177k miles, was a good run. Went to leave today and it was blowing white smoke, running on what felt 2 cylinders, and no coolant in the reservoir.

Rip.

Guess I'm car shopping. 😞

I’m writing this just a few minutes after I found out, I have a 2015 Ford Edge and I’ve had it since about 2023. I went to the store about three hours ago and had parked and turned off my audio system with no issues, I just got back home from my girlfriend’s house and I can’t get my stereo control and system to turn on.

I’ve tried power cycling it to reset the connection for Bluetooth, didn’t work. I had tried leaving my car off for a few minutes to fully reset that way, and that didn’t work either.

I’m taking this car to college (which is thankfully 10 minutes from my house) but I still got a salad two weeks and 800 miles of driving for a road trip coming up this weekend. Any advice or insight is greatly appreciated.

The extended warranty on my 2020 Ford Edge ST is about to expire at 75,000. I plan to purchase a new extended warranty but was wondering what is the best way to go? I made the mistake of inquiring at Car Shield and now the calls don’t stop. It’s 2020 all over again. I just wasn’t sure if that’s the best option. Thanks for any input!

Keep in edging

I have a 2013 edge limited. When driving ac works perfectly fine, blows cold and feels good but when idling, the ac blows hot air, I can hear the other fan kick on and cold air blows out but for a short period of time. Yesterday while waiting in kids carline it started over heating, got home let it cool off and checked my coolant level this morning and it was fine. Last year I replaced the water pump. Can someone help

Hi Everyone, I’m very far much a novice (or noob) when it comes to cars so I’m hoping to use your collective expertise! I have a 2016 Ford Edge with heated and vented front seats. Recently, both functions have stopped working at various times, more so the driver seat then the passenger seat. I’m going to try and see if there is anything I can do to fix it before taking it somewhere it I’m not sure where to start with troubleshooting. In full disclosure I’m a very big guy, I’m built in height and weight like an NFL lineman, so I’m also curious after having this car for so many years if I’ve just worn out the seat or crushed a cable due to my size.

Any help is appreciated (and humor about a fat guy in a little car is ok too despite the flair choice!)

Keep getting the dash warning message. But no problems starting after refuel so I don't think its the purge valve. 2013 v6

I have a 2010 Ford Edge. It drives great and I love it. I got it for 7k at (I think) 140,000 miles and have driven it to 160,000 so far. We had to change the breaks when we bought it, and I take it in regularly for routine oil changes. I let it warm up before I drive, try not to wear the transmission/brakes, and overall take pretty good care of it. We did have 1,500 dollars worth of repairs this year because after finding a leak, our mechanic kept finding problems and my family thought it would be better to just fix it all now instead of cause problems later. What’s awesome is that it didn’t even drive differently with all of the things wrong with it, but it’s still not my dream car. I’m hoping to save up for a 4-Runner but am going to be a strictly-budgeted college student here soon, so I need this car to last me through college. How many miles have you guys gotten yours to and how much have you spent on maintenance? I have a $3,000 emergency fund for the car. Is this enough to keep saved for it for now or should I contribute some more? I just want to see how many more road trips and day-to-day uses I can get out of this thing. I love the car, but my parents bought it for me at 16 with no intention for me to have it forever. Also, what are some maintenance/care tips I should know to keep it running smoothly?

I have a situation that I'm hoping that the group can help with.

2011 Ford Edge SEL, 125k (mostly city), dealer maintained until last year. The vehicle started to overheat last month while at stoplights. My new mechanic replaced the thermostat and upper coolant hose. This seems to have partially fixed the problem. Both radiator fans seem to be running while idling with the AC turned on.

Now the vehicle overheats less frequently, but still does so in heavy stop and go traffic and after prolonged driving. Condensation builds up on the new hose and the engine tends to overheat even with the AC turned off, so hot that you can hardly touch the arm that supports the hood.

I've never missed an oil change, flushed the radiator at 60 and 100k, and just replaced the transfer case and driveshaft. I'd like to get a few more miles before my next one. No signs of coolant in the oil or leaking. What do you all think?

My 2019 Titanium Ecoboost 4C is approaching 100k miles, which is when spark plug replacement is recommended. I've read that one of the plugs is hard to get to. Is it an easy DIY job or should I prepare for something more complicated?

After 10 years, my 2016 SEL has passed on to become a "mechanic's special". On a trip from Maryland to Massachusetts, the engine coolant overheating light came on. While I knew it was potentially burning coolant, I hadn't had this issue before. White knuckled it for half the trip and got it to a mechanic in MA. They found coolant in the cylinders, so it was burning a huge amount and overheating. Engine needs a rebuild, but I managed to trade it in before it seized. So my Edge journey is over. I'm now the proud owner of a 2023 Mustang Mach-E GT. It's an amazing car and if you're interested in it I'm happy to share experience so far. Best of luck Edge family!

Ok please help. Bought 2016 Edge brand new with 2.0 turbo. Had all kinds of issues out of the gate but persevered. Lo and behold, at 75k, needed new motor. Manufacturer defect #1. LOL. Praise God, got extended warranty which I previously never did. New motor and we are chugging along quite well for a bit actually. Caught backup camera just in time for the 100k mile warranty to end. Next 100k was great. Yes I am at 200k but just bought new tires, battery, wipers etc. Then heard the dang little rattle and said uh-oh. Car is paid for thankfully but with newish motor and a very seemingly sound car otherwise, should I fix the flex plate issue. Got the quote at $3500 which I expected but scared to run into all kinds of other issues. Question is: anyone had success with basic repair or are there any nightmares where they call you up and say it’s gonna be another $1000. Or maybe you drive the car for a week then something else in the drivetrain gets jacked due to flex plate repair, etc. Any advice or anecdotal evidence greatly appreciated!!
