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.
Is the Ford Edge a reliable vehicle?
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.
Ford Edge 2016
- Date Of Incident: 2024-10-01

- Components: ENGINE
- Summary: Took my car in to get repaired as the heater was not working. Turns out that I am required to have a full engine replacement after ONLY 58,000 miles due to coolant intrusion.

Vehicle year: 2021
We recently purchased our second car from this brand and we got a great price. The ride is smooth and quiet, and even though the engine is a 4 cylinder, it has good pick up even outside of sport mode. The mileage seems pretty good and the seats are very comfortable and roomy. The safety features are also great. While we've only had the car for a week, the tech features are wonderful and easy to use. The interior seems more upscale than some competitors and there's plenty of storage space, including areas under the rear floor. Overall, we're really happy with this car so far!

The outside of this car is nothing special, but don't let that fool you. I was really pleased with how it handles and drives. It has great acceleration and handles very nicely. Plus, there are lots of little extras that make it even better. Honestly, the more I drive it, the more impressed I am.

I'm so glad I waited for the Edge to come out since my lease was up on my 500. I was a little concerned that Ford couldn't seem to get them out of the plant, but I assume caution was the order of the day. The interior is incredibly quiet and the ride is super smooth. Thanks to the new 6-speed transmission, you're only at 1900 rpms at 70 mph, making cruising a breeze. The new 3.5-liter engine is very smooth and provides plenty of punch. The leather front seats are nicely styled with contrast stitching and hold you firmly. The ride is excellent, as good as or better than a top-notch sedan. The exterior styling is strong and fresh, and Ford really got this one right. No joke!

I recently had the opportunity to drive my sister's Lexus for a week. While the car looks nice and has an okay interior, I found the driving experience to be quite mediocre. The soft suspension and poor suspension control made for a bouncy, rocky ride that was truly awful. Even my usually car-loving elderly mother did not enjoy riding in it. However, I was pleasantly surprised when a friend lent me his 2015 Edge for a long weekend drive into the mountains. The car was incredibly comfortable, handled well, and had a very controlled ride. In fact, I found the Ford to be even more comfortable than the Lexus and in many ways felt more upmarket. Kudos to Ford for making such a great car!

I recently upgraded my car from a 2010 Nissan Murano LE to the Ford Edge Limited with the 302A Package. Although I loved my Murano, I had to get rid of it due to an accident. During a rental, I had the opportunity to drive an Edge and was so impressed that I ended up purchasing one! =) While I did consider another Murano, I was looking for a vehicle with more advanced technology. Although I also considered the Chevy Traverse and the new Pathfinder, I ultimately settled on the Edge.
Are you having problems with your Ford Edge?

Hello! I hope you had a great time in Maui! I just wanted to share my experience with the car rental. While the car was nice, I found it a bit challenging to navigate the tight parking spots on the island due to the steering, turning radius, and visibility. However, once I returned to the mainland and drove my trusty 2006 Yukon Denali, I felt much more comfortable. The Edge, being a mid-sized SUV, had hard seats and steering, but it did have a helpful beeping warning system to assist with parking. Overall, it was an adequate car for my needs.

I purchased a limited 2013 used car in the fall of 2017. I traded in a vehicle and deposited $1000 down. Unfortunately, the car was dead on the lot, but the dealer quickly switched the battery. However, very soon after, it died again in my driveway. I had to take it back to the dealer for repairs. After it was repaired, the Sync system failed often, and I called the dealer to report the issue. The salesperson even sat in the car with me and tried to blame me and my phone for the issue. More electrical issues followed, and the dealer had to replace the APIM. While the lights seemed to improve, the Sync system still messed up calls. During one incident, the acceleration stopped as I was merging into lanes on a highway, and the car began slowing down and running in neutral. I was in a panic and had to pump the gas pedal to avoid being hit by a semi-truck. Thankfully, the car suddenly started, and I was able to avoid the accident. I called the dealer later to report the issue. Local drives sometimes felt as though there were lapses in acceleration or almost stalling while in motion, but it was so brief I was not sure if the battery or something else failed. It turns out that a recall for this issue was issued in 2014. I researched a little and saw some recalls for similar issues. I decided to trust the dealer to finish looking up my specific vehicle. The dealer took the vehicle in, but unfortunately, they said no recalls exist. I was disappointed, but the dealer rep returned to me and the mechanic then said, 'I'll try something else.' He returned, but he did not provide any specifics as to what 'something else' was. I drove the car home, but the Vista roof had frequent issues, and I had to tarp the vehicle at night. Unfortunately, the dealer never repaired it sufficiently. A mechanic at the dealership said that the repair is so pricey that most people trade the vehicle in. The hatch seals or door latch caused the door ajar lights to turn on and battery issues.The mechanic wrote a work summary that blamed me for using a bike rack to bring my bike to the shop to ride home. However, the repair was called in before the rack was placed on the car and the ride was smooth. The amenities were also nice. Later on, I tried to call my family via sync, but my car misinterpreted it as the name of the sales manager of the dealership. He called me back and said, 'We need to get you out of that car.' I worked hard to find and print over 100 pages of vehicles I'd consider, as he said he may do a 'buy back' and assured me that he would take care of it. However, at the next sale, he snuck $2300 into my next loan. This car has cost me a vehicle, $3300, stress, and almost my life or any passenger's safety. It is a very maintenance-needy vehicle with possible recalls for brakes, acceleration, and door latches. Despite the beautifully smooth ride, every ride left me anxiety-riddled. The dealer is no better. The Next Edge is slightly better, being a different model from the same year with fewer mechanical issues (but still more than any I have owned in the last 25+ years). However, many of the same recalls were not repaired correctly or never addressed. I would advise staying away or taking out an extra line of credit for frequent service.
Gennaro Lockman 2025-10-09

I wouldn't personally buy a new one, but if it's used with low mileage, then yes. The tires can be expensive and the transmission may require some effort to downshift when going uphill or passing. However, the V6 engine has good power. As for the touch screen controls, they can be a bit frustrating. My advice would be to spend some time memorizing the control menu through the steering wheel remote to avoid taking your eyes off the road. Overall, I would rate it 3 stars due to the touch screen, but it would be a 4.5 otherwise.

I had the Power Take-off Unit (PTU) and the metal in my transmission, oil leak replaced in my vehicle. Although I love the car and its performance in the snow, I have experienced some mechanical issues with the transmission. Recently, while on a steep hill, the car drifted slightly backward and the transmission made a horrible sound, causing the car to shut off and all the lights to come on. While I have not had any issues with other Fords, I am disappointed with the mechanical performance of this otherwise beautiful car.

I purchased this 2020 model in March 2021. The car is quite fast and handles corners well. As an added bonus, my wife and I were able to enjoy a one-day driving experience in Asheville, NC, which was both enjoyable and free with our purchase! While I have never had to have the car towed, I have had to take it in for warranty repairs about six times. However, O'Brien Ford in Shelbyville, KY has been very responsive in addressing these repairs. The repairs included a leaking turbo oil line at 600 miles, difficulty maintaining coolant levels (which was eventually resolved by replacing the radiator after almost a year), and a drivetrain light that would randomly come on (which was somehow repaired after the first year). Recently, the temperature dropped to -7 deg F, causing the windshield wiper motors to fail. However, both were replaced under warranty. I have owned about 30 cars, some costing around $100, and have never had the windshield wipers fail before. Overall, it's a pretty decent car if you don't factor in the 18 hours I've had to spend waiting for repairs at the dealership.
