I'm at 30,000 miles, my fronts tires wear quickly as well and my rear tires look brand new, had my edge a year. I've had to change my front tires about 4 times in the pst year for wearing, and like i said rear tires even have some "hair" left on um! Weird $h!t man!!

____________________________________________________________________

So, I am at 27,000 miles and I have a few issues that need to be checked. Nothing major but here we go, and if you have had these issues please let me know.

 

*Driver seat feels loose. After put into position it has a movement every so often of about a 1/4 inch.

 

*Clank/rattle in rear when hitting little bumps.

 

*Little rattle in passenger door.

 

*Back hatch interior loose and un-snapping.

 

*MY FRONT TIRES HAVE AN UNUSUAL WEAR. MIDDLE THREADS WORN PRE-MATURE AND GETTING VERY SLICK.

 

*At low speeds the tranny jerks. (I know about this)

 

Only one major, others aren't to shabby. Our tires are those cheap continentals. Anyone else have those issues? On a FWD vehicle, when do YOU rotate tires? I have always had mustangs so FWD is new to me .

I feel ya on that!!! Here's a clearer breakdown of EVERY issue I've had so far!

- Annoying jerk, especially while in Traffic, began at 2 months

- Squealing when I'd turn left and accelerate

- Pulling to the left sometimes

- Airconditioning started chipping out, beginning Nov 07

- Accelerated on me in traffic WHILE MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE!!!!!

- Overheated, 4 weeks ago

- Overheated, last week wednesday, electrical default

She's in the shop, but if anything else happens I'll let you all know!

Our Edge was pulling to the right on straight roads. We adjusted tire pressures, but it eventually went into the Service Dept. They spun the strut plates 180* and it solved the problem. Now she drives straight and true on all roads. Took a full day for Ford to get it done.

I HAD THAT EXACT PROBLEM!!! When I'd turn to the left mostly it would squeel when I accelerate!!! My boyfriend and I put oil in her engine and it seemed to have stopped, the thing is her oil light didn't alert us to the fact she needed any oil, which is weird! Her engine light came on and that's why we put in oil? The second month I had my Edge it started to jerk, felt like a transmission problem, and its still doing it! She's in the garage now for overheating!!!! Has anyone tried getting a report from carfax.com on their Edge? I see that there are 2 reports on mine but I can't buy them because I don't live in the USA:-(

I'm new to this forum, but I've had my Edge since Feb 2007. I've got 13,000 mi on it and really haven't had that much wrong until just recently. Someone mentioned they had problems with their locks. Me, too! However, mine just won't UNLOCK sometimes when it's a bit cold out there. (Well, OK, under 10 degrees F....which has been pretty much all of 2008). There are times when I hit the unlock on the key and the lock will go up and down quickly several times, like a machine gun. Other times, it won't come up at all and I have to go through another door and open it from the inside. How embarassing. It's not that the door is frozen shut, the latch just won't release. Our Ford dealer ordered the parts a couple weeks ago but they were on "national backorder". Not sure if that means this was happening alot to other Edge owners. Anyway, it just got fixed on Friday....we'll see how it goes.

 

My "latest" issue (and really, only other issue) is one that I think may be a TSB. The front end will make a horrific noise when I make turn. It sounds like a big steel ship creaking. Luckily, it doesn't do it very long and it does it only once during a driving session.

Well guys, March 30th, 2008 will be exactly 1 year that i've had my Edge, and she's been in the garage for more than 1 week for an overheating problem caused by an electrical default.
