  1. My 2015 Edge SE fwd 2.0 EB with 150k is needing an engine. Began with a misfire on cylinder 1. White Smoke on startup. And, sweet smell of coolant. Local dealer checked it out. Pressure tested the coolant system and found it leaking into the #1 combustion chamber. $6100 to replace the long block. Never ever had any issues with the Edge before this. Love the vehicle. Perfect size, power, handling, ride. The Escape forums note there is a TSB on this for the 2.0 EB used in the 15-18 escape, edge, fusion and a few Lincolns. Is says it is due to corrosion. Always followed Maintanence schedule. Always at local dealer. Very very disappointed. Used to be a Toyota guy. But, decided to go AMERICAN (I know it is built in Canada). Made the switch to fords a few years ago. Wife has a 16 explorer sport, we have an old F150 for doing things around the house. Her explorer is a little scary with the things we are finding. Funny, our 165k mile 2006 F150 4.6 4x4 is our most reliable vehicle. Hopefully, if you get the corrosion caused misfire your still in warranty.
  2. My company car, a 2012 Ford Focus (that I Really liked) was replaced with a base Edge SE FWD Saturday. I really liked the size and nimbleness of the Focus. Is never really gave me any trouble. It had 160k miles when removed from service. The only options on the Edge are the roof rails and all weather floor mats. After about 100 miles of driving the Edge, it is beginning to grow on me. Paddle shifters on a SUV? Odd, but fun. the Ecoboost 4 cylinder moves the Edge pretty good. The features are very similar to what the Focus had. So, everything but size remains kind of the same. It does not have the nimbleness of the Focus but that is to be expected, going to a 4000lb SUV. For the size and height it does handle pretty well. The base sync is a bit more touchy than the Focus. But, I like that you can press and hold the speak button for 3 seconds and Apple phone Siri will then be communicating with you. Nice feature for the baseSync system. I never checked to see if that was added in the last Sync update for the Focus before it was traded. I drive a lot of miles. 40-50k/year. So, any issues will be posted.
  3. Scrap yard info.... Www.car-part.com. I am not sure if it covers Canada though.
