5/60k is a good rule of thumb for any maintenance items on the powertrain really.  Fluids or plugs or pcv valve  or ...  If your Edge experiences "normal" driving conditions as defined by Ford, you can stretch that 60K to 100K for most things.  EXCEPT the AWD fluids, particularly PTU.

 

Note that Ford's maintenance intervals for FIRST change are long, but SUBSEQUENT intervals fall back to the 5/60 rule.  So why not do it from the start?  Really, the powertrain, when given regular, basic maintenance should hold up rather well.

I'll probably do those soon then! I'm pretty happy with the powertrain besides the water pump issue. It's really reliable for an American car!

Don't worry, take action! ?

 

Never too early to change fluids.  Especially when it is nused / you are not the first owner.

 

Change:  transmission, coolant, power steering, and brake fluids.  There is potential for saving a lot of headaches down the road.

 

Also consider changing spark plugs at the very least, and cleaning the MAF sensor and throttle body.

Thankfully, I am the first owner. I changed the tranny fluid about 20k miles ago, and I got my brake fluid changed recently. Now all I have to do is change the coolant and power steering fluid. The manual says change the spark plugs at 100k miles, so I'll probably do it around 80k(unless one of you guys recommended to do it earlier). 

I have a 2013 Ford Edge with the 3.5 V6 with a little over 50k miles. Should I be worried about the water pump failing on me? I'm starting to get worried about this since my car is getting older, and now isn't the time that I want to spend a lot of money to fix my car. Does this issue come with time or mileage? Or both?  

That didn't work, unfortunately. I found a YouTube video where someone disconnected the actuator from the arm, and it worked just fine so I tried that, and it worked for me!  I just can't change the temperature anymore.

This is a very common issue.  It's usually the blend doors that have stopped working correctly.  Fortunately the fix (unless something has gone very wrong) is easy.  With the ignition on, press your ventilation power button and your defrost button simultaneously.  Hold them for several seconds.  You may hear a click.  After the click (or ten seconds) release the buttons and press the power button again.  Your system 'should' begin operating normally (with the engine running of course).  If it doesn't, try it again.  I've seen forum reports indicating owners have had to do this multiple times but eventually the doors came around to their way of thinking.

 

I tried that, but it didn't work. I thought we had to do it for 3 seconds so that's probably why it didn't work. I gave up after seeing the tutorials because all of those people had the hard buttons to do it, but my car has the touch buttons, so I thought it would only work on those cars. I'll do it again and  I'll keep you updated!

I have a 2013 Ford Edge Limited (with dual zone A/C), and just today the ac started acting really weird. It would blow ice cold air from the driver side vents, and really hot air from the passenger side vents. Same story with the rear vents. It blows warm (not as hot) on the passenger side one, but ice cold on the driver side. When I would try to change the temperature, it wouldn't do a thing. I'd appreciate it if someone can help me out. Thank you!
