All production of the first two generations of the Ford Edge is sourced from Ford of Canada at Oakville Assembly (Oakville, Ontario) alongside the Nautilus.
The third generation launched in 2023 is called the Edge L, and was first produced and sold exclusively in China.

Common Ford Edge problems
Based on complaints from owners of Ford Edge cars, several common problems have been reported:
- Transmission Issues:
- Ford Edge owners have reported various transmission problems, including transmission failure, slipping, shuddering, and jerking. The 2008 model year, in particular, had severe transmission issues, with around 20 owners experiencing transmission failure at an average of 80,000 miles. Repairing these transmission problems can be costly, with an average repair cost of almost $3,000.
- Brake Problems:
- Some Ford Edge models, especially those from 2007 to 2015, have been plagued by faulty brake boosters. This issue involves the diaphragm of the brake booster developing tears, leading to brake problems. Additionally, the 2009-2010 models faced a fuel tank defect that could pose a fire risk if left unaddressed. Ford issued a recall for these models to inspect and address the fuel tank issue.
- Power Steering Issues:
- Owners have reported problems with the power steering on Ford Edge cars, often caused by a troublesome sensor. This issue can result in the steering feeling light or heavy while driving, indicating a potential problem with the power steering system. It is essential to pay attention to any unusual steering behavior during a test drive.
These common problems reported by Ford Edge owners highlight the importance of thorough research and inspection when considering purchasing a used Ford Edge to avoid potential issues and ensure a reliable driving experience.
Does the Ford Edge have any problems?
Faulty airbags, bad windshield seals, and fuel tank defect are some of the major issues reported by Ford Edge owners through the years.

The Ford Edge Reliability Rating is 3.5 out of 5.0, which ranks it 11th out of 26 for midsize SUVs. The average annual repair cost is $611 which means it has average ownership costs. The frequency and severity of repairs are both fairly average when compared with all other vehicles.
What years are worst for a Ford Edge?
Q: What are the Ford Edge years to avoid when looking for a used vehicle? A: The Edge years to specifically avoid due to reported reliability issues include 2007, 2008, 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2015. These model years are known for their transmission, engine, and brake problems, among other concerns.
Why did Ford discontinue the Edge?
Ford has officially declared the retirement of the Edge after the 2023 model. This decision is due to Ford's commitment to electric vehicles. As part of its long-term vision, the company aims to focus more of its resources on EV production, and the Edge needs to fit that mold.

Ford Edge 2020
- Date Of Incident: 2024-09-27
- Date Complaint: 2024-10-27
- VIN: 2FMPK3J91LB
- Components: POWER TRAIN
- Summary: Power Train has failed multiple times on this vehicle. It loses power on the highway, reverses when in drive, and does not shift down to make the vehicle slow to a safe speed. This puts me and others in danger because you can not predict that or when there will be a failure that hits a person or other car. This has been taken to a mechanic and confirmed as power train failure in a 4 year old, 100K mile car. Ford claims no recalls even though the same recall exists for other makes and models of the same kind with different VINS. Has thrown multiple codes.
Ford Edge 2019
- Date Of Incident: 2022-04-09
- Date Complaint: 2024-10-26
- VIN: 2FMPK3J99KB
- Components: POWER TRAIN
- Summary: The transmission shifts very harshly from stop and go. It shakes, slips, and shutters while driving. From around 55-60 mph the car shakes and the rpm jumps around like it’s trying shift gears, occasionally the car will jump as if you’re driving on the white bumpy line. When you let off the accelerator the car shakes. When slowing down to stop, the car downshifts very harshly and makes it feel as if you’re slamming on the brakes. I’m not sure what kind of risk this could cause for me or others. Multiple dealers have said that it must be the transmission needing to be replaced. It has not been inspected by a dealer, that’s just what they’ve told me. The only warning light that has appeared a few times is a “drive not available” warning light when shifting into drive, it immediately shifts the car into park when the warning appears. The car started being jumpy and jerky shortly after being purchased in 2022 with 50,000 miles. Reverse also seems to engage harshly causing the car to make a loud pop noise and a slight jolt occurs. The vehicle now has around 78,000 miles.

Ford Edge 2016
- Date Of Incident: 2024-10-08
- Date Complaint: 2024-10-23
- VIN: 2FMPK4J97GB
- Components: ENGINE
- Summary: The 2016 Ford Edge 2.0L EcoBoost has sadly caused us countless issues and extensive $ to repair. The latest issue is the 2020 investigation that revealed a design defect of the engine block and cylinder head, and coolant has been leaking and burning in the engine cylinder, which has lead to me needing a new engine. Unfortunately, the suit displays documented proof Ford knew about it and didn’t disclose it to buyers. This has lead to vast overheating, risking the vehicle catching on fire while in use, burning empty coolant, and a potential for having a blown engine on the highway. We took the car to a trusted shop when the overheating issue occurred and this was our circumstance.

Vehicle year: 2018
Updated Review at 37,000. Most importantly, this car has never needed a repair. It performs above average in every aspect, from its smooth ride to its handling. However, there are a few things that I don't like, such as the automatic engine shut off when the car stops. Fortunately, there is a button that turns this feature off, or you can put it in sport mode to disable it. Although forgetting to do either of these things can be annoying, it only happens once. The car is solid and nothing breaks, at least not so far. It fits right in and has a decent amount of room for a small SUV. You can even fold the back seats down and fit a lot of junk in there. In my updated review at 15,000 miles, I left the old review below. My Edge is powered by the 4 cylinder turbo Eco-Boost, which I may be getting used to, but it doesn't feel underpowered like I wrote in the other review. Don't misunderstand, it isn't overpowered either, but it is powerful enough. When you hit it from a stop, you can feel the front wheel drive torque steer, and I don't like that. However, it can easily cruise at 80 or better on the interstate without any engine noise, and it isn't straining either. It still only averages 22mpg all around and does a little better on interstate road trips. The car has had no maintenance issues. Although I still hate the Auto Engine shut off, to me, it is the stupidest thing ever devised for a vehicle. No doubt, it makes the car slightly hesitant at red lights when taking back off as the engine has to restart.I'm sure it's not Ford's fault, as it's probably due to some government regulation that saves a small amount of gas every year at the expense of a few starters. Although it allows you to turn it off, I usually forget until I feel the engine turn off the first time. If you're a commuter, this is a decent little SUV. Obviously, if you're going to pull a boat or anything, you can't get this since it is front-wheel drive. My Ford Edge is actually owned by the company I work for, but it's for my exclusive use. I've had it for just over a month and have driven a little over 2,000 miles. It drives smoothly and seems like a decent car. The only things I don't like are the 4-cylinder engine, which seems underpowered to me, and the fact that if you give it some juice, the steering wheel wants to go in crazy directions because the car is front-wheel drive. Another thing I don't like is that the engine shuts off at red lights, stop signs, or anytime you stop, which is very annoying to me. Thankfully, there is a button to turn the auto engine shut-off off. However, every time you start the car, by default, the auto engine shut-off engages, so you manually have to shut it off every time you go somewhere. It will remind you to do it, and there is a slight delay while the engine restarts itself when it's your turn to go at an intersection. To me, I would never buy a car with this feature, but my company gets me a company car every few years and doesn't let me pick. I get what I get. Also, even though this car has a 4-cylinder engine, it doesn't seem to get a whole lot better mileage than the Durango V6 it replaced. And no, I don't drive like a nut or anything. The car seems to average less than 20 mpg when driving in the city and around 25 mpg when on cruise control on the interstate at 80 mph.The new Durango is quite similar to its predecessor. However, I do have a minor issue with the small gas tank. Despite the car claiming a range of 400 miles, I find myself needing to refuel after just 350 miles. I miss the larger gas tank of the Durango, which had a range of over 500 miles and was perfect for road trips. Please ignore the price paid as I did not purchase the car myself and have no knowledge of the cost. I had to include a number to submit the review.

Vehicle year: 2015
It's been almost a year since we chose the 4 cyl. and we couldn't be happier with its performance. The 4 responds with impressive torque and carries the weight of the vehicle effortlessly, making our drives from Michigan to Chicago in midwest weather changes a breeze. The only downside is the thin layer of exterior paint used by Ford. It's unnecessary for a vehicle that intends to compete in head-to-head world-class quality to be so easily chipped. However, we still believe that the Edge is a great American choice. We've had the Edge for almost eighteen months now and while we enjoy the solid feel and drive, there have been a few minor issues. The dash lighting at night has flickered a few times and the clock doesn't always update when we move into the Illinois time zone. We've also noticed that the side warning detector has become hyper-sensitive. We hope that Ford's tech guys can locate the issue and fix it soon. Overall, we still consider the Edge a keeper and we're not related to the Ford Family.

Vehicle year: 2015
I test drove the Edge and loved it right away! I have the SEL V6 and most of the packages. I also test drove a Toyota Highlander, but it was noisier and I did not like the steering feel. Unfortunately, I wanted to test a V6 Outback, but there were none within 75 miles. This is my first vehicle with electronic steering, and I must say, I liked it better than a CRV that I drove. The vehicle is quiet, smooth, comfortable, and has plenty of headroom (I'm 6-02). I can't rate reliability, but I've owned four Fords with no major problems. The Edge drives like a heavier sports car with a nice solid feel. I must say, Ford has really stepped up their game when it comes to refinement!

Vehicle year: 2014
I love this car inside out! It's so solid and there's very minimal road noise, which I really appreciate. Although it does slide a little in heavy snow, the AWD kicks in quickly and rights itself. Luckily, I haven't had to repair anything at all and with about 24000 miles on it, I haven't had any problems so far. The V6 engine has good get up and go when you need it. I would definitely recommend this car over and over!

Vehicle year: 2014
I bought my 2013 Edge Ltd back in June of 2012 and have just bumped over 25k miles. I have read some of the worst reviews to see if anything sounds familiar, but thankfully nothing does. I absolutely love my Edge. While I don't disbelieve that some people have had bad experiences, I have had the opposite. I have had no issues with my Mid Life Crisis on Wheels. I did find fault with the software compatibility (WMA files), but that is no longer an issue. While the MPG is off, I must admit that I am not an average driver. I love the power and agility of this car. Sync & MyFord Touch work great, now that I understand it. I read the manual when all else failed. My recommendation is a resounding
Are you having problems with your Ford Edge?
Rod Lind 2025-04-15
Vehicle year: 2007
I purchased my vehicle 9 months ago with 40,000 miles. Although I have experienced some issues with transmission fluid leaks and random activation of traction control while driving at 60 mph, I have taken it to the dealer three times and have been assured that the issues have been resolved. While I am considering trading it in, I am confident that the vehicle is in good condition and will provide reliable transportation for its next owner.
Orlo Howe 2025-04-13
Vehicle year: 2015
I purchased this car in 2015. Unfortunately, after only 9 months, it lost power while I was driving. I brought it in for service and Ford sent it back with a rebuilt transmission after keeping it for 3 weeks. However, just 2 days later, the car broke down again due to a forgotten gasket which caused transmission liquid to pour out. In April 2017, the car lost power once again while I was driving, which was a very scary and dangerous situation. I sent the car in for the second time and, once again, the transmission needed to be replaced. When I first had a problem, I asked for a new transmission or for the car to be replaced, being that it was not even one year old. Unfortunately, they would not comply. I do not feel comfortable driving this car and Ford refused to accept responsibility and to stand behind their product. I asked for the car to be bought back for a trade-in and they gave me the same trade-in value other dealers would give me for the car. The manager at the dealer also priced out a Ford Explorer at sticker for a trade-in. I feel that they are not trying to make a very wrong situation right. To be honest, I no longer trust Ford cars or the Ford corporation. Please think it through well before becoming a victim of Ford.
Coby Rice 2025-04-07
Vehicle year: 2019
I have owned multiple Edge models, including the 2015, and while the 2019 model drives and handles well with a solid yet compliant feel, I have experienced some issues. Despite the powerful Ecoboost engine, I have had heavy clunking under acceleration and sluggish acceleration at times. These issues have been frustrating and even a safety concern, but I am working with my dealer to address them. Although disappointed with these problems, I remain confident in the Edge's potential and look forward to resolving these issues.
Ronny Windler 2025-04-04
Vehicle year: 2017
This vehicle has experienced significant issues, including an engine replacement at 40k and another one required at 90k. The reduced power mode due to engine coolant temps is a safety concern.

After six months and 11,000 miles, I have come to the confident conclusion that this vehicle is not up to my standards. The transmission is the biggest issue, as it hesitates at the worst possible times, such as when changing lanes. Despite having six gears, the constant shifting is noticeable and jarring. Even my old manual 1967 Beetle had a smoother transmission. Despite Ford's assurance that nothing is wrong with it, the car drives very poorly. Additionally, the rear view is obstructed when backing up, which is a safety concern. Overall, this car is underpowered and looks like an SUV.
