2 days ago my car overheated in a drive through line i had just got off of work i drove home just fine (highway) in the drive through it spewed white smoke/steam out the hood and leaked water from idk where and then the antifreeze/coolant was bone dry i notice days prior my air would get hot when idle or at slow temps it sat for a day then i put coolant in it and drove home (driving fast to get the car home) can anybody steer me in the right direction of what could possibly be wrong and is it replaceable for me to do with like zero fixing experience

2012 Ford Edge Brake Failure

Hello car community im pretty mechanically inclined but theres some things on vehicles im still learning. I normally do my own maintenance and repairs but i believe im forced to go to a shop on this one. I have a 2012 ford edge that has had on and off brake issues for the past year. A year ago my brakes felt spongy and i took the advice of a tech that said to find a gravel road and purposely make it skid in forward and reverse to unlock the solenoids in the abs control module or the hydraulic control unit? To be honest im not entirely sure if thats two separate things or not? Well i figured it was a hail mary moment but it actually worked and brought my brakes back to life for nearly a year now. Well the sponge is back and skidding isnt doing the trick this time. The car definitely will still skid, no abs light that i could see or feel in the pedal. Possibly only the fronts were locking up? To me this seems like the seals are possibly worn in the master cylinder but the abs not engaging is where i second guess myself. The car has 140k miles so im sure parts are worn out. Ive read that these cars are notoriously hard to bleed the brakes and ford never released a proper fix. Apparently the job requires a scan tool to properly bleed the system which i do not own. Does anyone have a rough estimate on what either item may costs for replacement or even help in narrowing down whats actually failed? Thanks for taking the time out of your day, i greatly appreciate any advice and help given.

Hi all,

I currently own a 2009 Edge with 200k miles on it. I’ve put 60k since I bought it in 2021. I’ve done all the lifetime fluid changes. I need to do the transmission again. But I am looking to buy either a used 2024 edge or a new escape or explorer depending on sales this winter. Also looking at a CRV as I grew up in them but have driven/owned only fords. I love my edge and I’m so sad they discontinued it but I have heard people don’t like the infotainment system and have problems with transmission. My transmission blew in my 2011 Escape at 100k but we replaced it and she lasted another 90k before she got totaled by a reckless driver. But I love my Edge but I just don’t know if I can justify the used car price when I can get something brand new and put the money towards that rather than used.

Thank you for the advice in advance!

There is a nice 2024 Titanium Edge with 29k for 27,000 near me.

I've got a 2022 ST-Line with 40,000 miles on her. Just started getting a slight trans vibration when it shifts from 1-2 and 2-3. I can hear it more than feel it and it kinda sounds like a bee buzzing. Still shifts smoothly but I'm wondering if this could be the start of a bad torque converter. Seems to only do this when the trans is hot.

My mom bought a 2019 Edge Titanium new and has only put 32k miles on it in that time. I help her with all her car issues since my dad passed and recently the transmission started the dreaded shudder. Ford said even though it’s low mileage they would offer no discount or warranty to replace it. The dealer quotes around 10k for full replacement. I know I can get a better price from a local transmission shop but is it worth fixing? My mom has another car and could sell this Edge outright as is, just trying to gauge if fixing it and selling or just selling as is makes more sense. The Edge is in otherwise perfect condition, always garaged and spotless inside and out. Was curious if anyone had been in a similar situation

I bought a new Edge ST back in 2021 and I'm just shy/ just over 52k. Within the first month of getting it, it was determined that my Moon roof came with parts missing from the factory and that's why it was rattling when I opened it, and I had to have to fuel neck replaced because I was tripping at every gas pump.

Fast forward to now, I've had the fuel neck replaced a second time around 2023, and I just dropped it off at the ford dealer last week Friday for rattling in my Moon roof again (that started awhile ago but I've just been delaying taking it in because I'm sick of doing it), and I also had some "squeaking" coming from the front passenger side.

I got the call today. They figured out where the rattling in my Moon roof is coming from, they found a mechanical oil leak that I didn't know about, and the control bushings need to be replaced. IS THIS NORMAL???!!! I've had so many other small wacky issues with this car since getting it I've contemplated getting rid of it multiple times, but I literally pay it off next year 🤣

Thoughts? I have the extended warranty because after the issues I was having I wasn't not going to get it, so hopefully most of this is covered.

I’m trying to understand why the 2019–2021 Ford Edge hasn’t been included in Ford’s recent transmission-related recall covering other 2018–2021 models like the F-150, Explorer, and Navigator.
There are 250+ complaints on NHTSA for the Edge with similar transmission issues—shuddering, hesitation, hard shifting, and failures. The pattern seems very similar to what Ford is addressing in the recalled vehicles from the same general timeframe.
In my case, I had a major transmission failure and ended up paying about $9,300 for a Ford-installed replacement transmission.
I’m not trying to rant—I just want to understand if anyone else is seeing the same pattern, or if there’s any known reason the Edge is excluded from the recall while sharing similar complaints and model years.
Has anyone else dealt with this or heard anything from dealers or Ford?

I am looking at a used 2020 Ford Edge Titanium at 70K miles. What issues should I look out for?

Hello Mechanics,

I have been dealing with a leaky power steering leak for over 3 years.
I had been using the Lucas power steering stop leak and it holds up fairly well, so that I don't have to top-off the fluid so often.

So here it is in February and it was freezing cold out.
I drove to walmart and everything was fine.
I come out and get back in the car and drive off, but my steering is so stiff I could barely turn the wheel.

I assume this is a rack and pinion issue?
I still drive it. Yes, it's hard to turn, but easier if I'm moving.

Is there any quick-fix to help this issue, or is it time to junk the car?
It has 300,000 miles and I just want to keep riding until it's flat-lined and ready for the mortician.

So I just purchased a 2019 ford edge se with 82k miles on it from Carvana. What would everyone do with it immediately? Not sure if there is problems with it or not because I think it’s just the iffy 8 speed transmission but it shifts weird. Not rough just weird. I was thinking fluid swap and a look through from a mechanic?

Hello to all my fellow Edge owners!

I come to this sub with a plea for help. I replaced my starter on Wednesday. The Edge drove great for the rest of Wednesday, and Thursday, without any issues. I went to fire it up yesterday morning...nothing. I thought that maybe I got a bad starter, so I started digging in to things. First thing I did was check the relay, and fuse. Relay is good, fuse was cooked, so I replaced it. First try to start, blew the fuse again. I tore things down, pulled the starter and tested it, it's good. All the wiring looks good, no loose connections or or damaged insulation.

The accessories all work perfectly, battery is good, alternator was good when I had a chance to test it when the last starter began to die.

Thoughts? Please help!

Edit: fat fingers and autocorrect

My 2013 Edge LTD 3.5L 6Cyl with 139,666 miles needs:

• a new rear differential carrier
• a new power steering pressure line
• a new power steering pump
• new valve cover gaskets

All in all, that $7,500, which is more than the value of the car.

Would you do it anyway, or would you look for a used car under $20,000? Money is tight right now, and neither option is particularly appealing.
