I've bought a 2018 Ford Edge SEL July of 2021 at Zech Ford (Kansas), it had just a little over 50k miles, within the first month of ownership, engine light comes on (code P0301), I took to the dealership and they replaced the oxygen sensor, everything seemed fine since. This last May, the flex plate cracked, I took to Greenway Ford dealership (Florida) and paid $3,085.36 for the repair, within just an hour of having the car back, engine light comes on (P0301), I immediately took the car back, they kept the car for the weekend, replaced the stream O2 sensor and charged me $105.24, they only charged me for the part, they waived the labor fee since I just had a $3k repair. Now, 2 months later, engine light comes on again for the same code P0301, but this time I can hear liquid running through the dashboard and a lot of white smoke coming out of the exhausts, I popped the hood and see that the coolant container is virtually empty, so I-€™ve bought some and added to it, I took it back to Greenway Ford, left the car there and couple hours later they called me to let me know that the coolant leaked into the cylinder and tells me that my only option is to have the engine replaced at a cost of $8400! This is my only car, I still owe $22,700 and I do not have $8k to get it repaired! And the car has about 94k miles now,

Edge

My 2018 Edge with ecoboost has less than 62K miles. Noticed a rattling noise when I was idled or not accelerating. Noise got louder and worse, seemed to have issues changing gears, began sounding like a diesel when I was idle. Took it in for diagnostics today and noticed the check engine light came on today. Results came back with random misfire code. Turns out there is a crack in the flywheel...which from what I can tell by research is due to manufacturer issues with the torque converter. Why is there no recall for this? it is dangerous and the car is not old or worn out enough to have these kind of issues. Cost to correct is astronomical. Please help raise awareness and get the help consumers deserve.

There is an electrical issue with this vehicle - started at 24000+/- and drained batteries - after replacing 4 batteries - check engine light came on - dealer did pressure check and engine had to be replaced! after replacement, battery was again dead. They cannot find reason for drained battery. This vehicle is unsafe and potentially a fire hazard. I cannot get relief from Ford motor - refused to buy back. Vehicle was parked every time battery was drained.

Edge

  • 9,000 miles
Loss of transmission power, like as if the transmission cant decide which gear to be in, then when it selects the gear it slams into gear so hard that it feels like you have been hit from behind by a truck. This has happened while driving in stop and go traffic, when driving thru a dip in the road, and most disturbingly while driving up a long steep hill.
