Thanks everyone for the help on this topic! was facing similar problems on my ‘new-to-me’ escape.

Thanks @1004ron.

@1004ron: Yes it is unfortunately. What would you recommend to help reduce this problem? Should I spend money to replace it proactively? Thanks and appreciate your response!

@JoeVic: Thanks for the explanation. That was very useful. What I read about this is that with these transverse mounted V6's, the gasket of the water pump will fail at some point and thus should really be avoided. The cost of replacing the gasket is over 1k, which is scary. If I had to use the car, would changing the coolant to the Motorcraft help?

@akirby: I’ve been trying to confirm that but I haven’t been able to. I know the problem was in the Ecoboost but did the 3.5L V6 also have this problem?

@ChrisW Based on other posts, it seems like you have the same car and would love your feedback!

Its me the topic owner of this post.. Just to add, has anyone faced battery problems with this car? The dealer had to jump-start the car before I drove it which would be a big red flag for me bit it had been snowing for the past few days, which is quite unusual for Vancouver.

Hi All, I am a soon to be first-time car owner and considering purchasing a used 2015 Ford Edge Titanium with 3.5 L V6 engine. Car has been through 180k kms (111k miles). Online reading puts the 2015 model of the Ford Edge in one of the cars to avoid. While there seem to be a fair share of problems associated with the 2.0L and 2.7L Ecoboost engine (which was new at the time), I am wondering if anyone has faced problems with the 3.5L V6. I believe this is a tried and tested old engine? Am I correct? Does anyone here still have a 2015 Edge Titanium with the 3.5L V6? Or have good knowledge about the car's reliability? Would really appreciate any reviews and feedback on buying the car. Also, any tips on what to look out during my inspection with a mechanic? The cars tires and brakes looks to be in good shape. A bit nervous since its my first car and would appreciate your feedback. Thank you!

Hi All, I am a soon to be first-time car owner and considering purchasing a used 2015 Ford Edge Titanium with 3.5 L V6 engine. Car has been through 180k kms. I have read through several reviews of this model and there seem to be a fair share of problems. However, most problems seem to be associated with the 2.0L Ecoboost engine. Wondering if anyone has faced problems with the 3.5L V6. Is anyone still driving this make? Would really appreciate any reviews and feedback on buying the car. A bit nervous since its my first car.
