My 2021 Ford Edge (101K miles) has stopped cooling on the driver side (passenger side is OK). In 2019, both driver side and passenger blend door actuators failed within a month of each other, but were replaced quickly and easily. The mechanic just checked the driver side blend door actuator and it was fine. He reported that "something else" (can't remember - blend door box?) needed to be replaced and it would require removing the whole dashboard based on the excellent design features of the Ford Edge and it would cost $2000+ A part of me ithinks the best option is to consign the Edge to winter driving and use another car in the summer. However, I thought I would check with the experts here to see if there might be a less expensive repair.

Thanks to both of you. I sold a 20 yo Camry for the Edge and the gas mpg was painful - although I really love the EDGE. You are correct that my city driving is really short trips, so I am paying the price. I am skeptical of additives, so I appreciate someone else confirming that they can be useful. Will give the Techron clean a try!

I have a 2012 EcoBoost 2 L EDGE that I bought new last year (long story). It has a little over 13,000 miles, so is still pretty new. The gas gauge consistently reports better mpg higher that what I calculate when I fill up. The number of "used gallons" reported by the car gauge is at least 1 gal or more lower than what the pump provides when I fill up. So I was thinking I was getting 17 mpg city (which is bad) and I am actually getting 16 mpg (which is worse). I am a little old lady who does not race the car. The dealership just told me to ignore the car gauges (!!) and use something to clear the fuel injectors. Any other suggestions?
