The Ford Edge is a range of crossover SUVs manufactured by the Ford Motor Company. Introduced for the 2007 model year, the Edge is the first mid-size CUV marketed by Ford in North America; the model line is currently in its second generation. Deriving its name from a trim package of the Ford Ranger, the Ford Edge is positioned between the Ford Escape and the Ford Explorer within the Ford product line.

Sharing its underpinnings with the Ford Fusion sedan, Ford has also produced the model line as the Lincoln MKX (since 2019, the Lincoln Nautilus). The second generation is also marketed by Ford of Europe, positioned between the Kuga (Escape) and the Explorer PHEV.

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.

Latest 25 complaints

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.
Ford Edge 2016
  • Date Of Incident: 2024-10-01

Latest negative Ford Edge car reviews

  1. Winfield Swift 2025-05-29

    Vehicle year: 2017

    I purchased a 2017 Sport in Ruby Red from Ford and I must say, the color is absolutely stunning! Although, after driving 4K miles, I noticed a few squeaks and rattles which was a bit disappointing. On the bright side, the sound system with 12 speakers was fantastic and the turbo engine was totally awesome, going from 0-60 in just 5.7 seconds. The car handled curves great, but I did have some trouble with the 21 inch wheels being hard as a rock and prone to pot hole damage. I decided to purchase 19 inch Ford OEM wheels and the ride was so much softer without sacrificing handling. However, I did notice some noises popping up all over the place. The fit and finish was not perfect, with body lines being off and a ticking sound from the climate control sensor that drove me batty. I really wanted to love the vehicle, but unfortunately, there were just too many disappointments that detracted from how nice it was. On the plus side, the rear seat leg room was great and the cargo space was ample. As a tall person (I am 6'4

  2. Geovanni Abbott 2025-05-28

    Vehicle year: 2019

    I purchased a car on 11/23, but unfortunately, it came from the factory with a broken touchscreen. Although the dealership replaced the screen, I still had issues with Apple CarPlay. After a few more attempts to fix the issue, the AWD Malfunction warning occurred. I took it back to the dealership, and unfortunately, the problem persisted even after they replaced several parts. Despite my frustration, the dealership did send an engineer from Ford to help resolve the issue. However, after 51 days in the shop, with no estimate on when it would be fixed, I requested a refund or a replacement vehicle. Although it took some time, Ford Motor Company eventually bought back the vehicle from me. I am now driving a Chevy Blazer AWD and am very happy with it. I will not be purchasing from Ford again.

  3. Carroll Vandervort 2025-05-28

    Vehicle year: 2008

    I apologize for the inconvenience, but I must say that the Edge falls short in comparison to the Mountaineer in terms of engineering. There are some issues with the fuel injectors and exhaust that result in a considerable amount of noise. Additionally, driving with the windows open above 30 MPH is not recommended due to the extreme wind noise from the vista roof diffuser. The vehicle also tends to hunt for lower gears at highway speeds and hangs on upshift. Both the braking and gas mileage are subpar. Water buildup under the tail light lenses is also a concern, and it would be helpful to have some tie downs in the cargo area. Lastly, the AC vents do not direct air high enough to clear heat from the ceiling. I would suggest test driving the vehicle at highway speeds before making a purchase.

  4. Andy Russel 2025-05-24

    Vehicle year: 2017

    My 2017 Ford Edge is currently in the shop and I have been informed that it requires a new engine due to a broken timing chain. Despite experiencing issues with the car since I purchased it, such as back taillights leaking water and a coolant leak during Christmas, I am disappointed to learn of this latest problem. Unfortunately, the cost of a new engine is $6000, which I cannot afford as I still owe $14000 on the car. While this has been a frustrating experience, I remain confident in my decision to purchase a Ford and believe that this is an isolated incident. I will work with the dealership to find a solution that works for me.

    I have always been a fan of the Ford Edge Sport's exterior design. It looks amazing, especially in red. The wheels are a standout feature that really make the car look stunning. My car is fully loaded with every option and they all work well together. While I don't use the lane departure warning system much, it is a useful feature. However, I do have a few concerns with the vehicle. Firstly, the seats are uncomfortable and can cause discomfort after about 45 minutes of driving. Secondly, the glass is not as strong as it should be, as I had to pay over $1500 to repair a crack on my Vista Roof and over $850 to repair the windshield due to all the features built into it. Lastly, the upgraded Sony Sound System is not as clear as I had hoped. Despite these issues, I still enjoy driving my Ford Edge Sport.

    This is my 3rd Ford Edge and 2nd 4 cylinder! I have been very happy with all three (2008, 13 and now 18)!

    I recently purchased the Edge with the 302A package and it only had 5 miles on it. Now, after completing 1000 miles, I can say that the ride has softened a bit, which I personally prefer. Although the difference is not significant, it is noticeable to me. One of the things that I really appreciate about this vehicle is that we no longer have trouble having someone sit in the front seat when a rear-facing car seat is behind them. This was a problem in our previous vehicles, but not anymore. Recently, I took a 5-hour trip from Dallas to Little Rock with almost no elevation change. I was able to achieve 22.3 mpg on the way back, with an average speed of 75 mph, dry roads, and little to no wind. I also noticed a significant increase in mpg when I dropped my speed from 80 to 75 mph. This leads me to believe that it is possible to achieve 26 mpg at 60 mph once the engine is broken in more.

    I hope you're doing well! I just wanted to share my experience with my new vehicle. I've only had it for less than a month, but I'm already loving it! It's definitely an upgrade from my 2011 Edge. The interior is fantastic, with comfortable leather seats and a great radio. The acceleration is also really smooth and peppy. Overall, I'm really happy with my new SUV and it has definitely met my expectations so far.

    Hi there! I hope you're doing well. I just wanted to share my experience with my 2009 Ford Edge limited FWD. I've had it for 10 years now and it has been a reliable companion, covering 95,000 miles. At around 55,000 miles, I had to replace a backup sensor which cost me $500.00. However, during a 4,000 mile road trip at around 80,000 miles, the car performed great! Living in Florida, we use our AC all year round and it has been working perfectly fine. Unfortunately, about five days after we returned from our trip, the AC compressor and alternator failed at the same time, which cost me $2,300.00 to replace both items. Other than regular maintenance, tires, and batteries, I haven't had any major issues with the car. Overall, I think it's a great car and it still looks new!

    After spending $50K on a fully loaded Titanium, I was disappointed to find out that I had to purchase a printed owner manual from Helm. It left me feeling like we were starting off on the wrong foot, and unfortunately, I still feel that way. It's frustrating to have to sit in the car with the engine running, wasting gas just to figure out the complicated Sync 4 system. Ford used to have a motto
