What do HATE MOST about your Edge or MKX?

Recommended Posts

And yet... Last quarter... The Edge had one of the highest ratings for loyalty ownership across all vehicles.  RIP Edge after 2023 as Ford doesn't listen to customers.

Not necessarily a hate, but I really dislike the fact that the left gauge cluster panel doesn't revert back to previous screen after using paddle shifters.

It switches over to the round tach, but after it times out, stays on that screen.

My 14 Explorer Sport would revert back to whatever screen it was on previously (usually fuel mileage).

I have a 2017 EDGE SEL. One thing I don't like is when it randomly drops Android Auto while I use the NAV function on my phone or states that the USB device is not recognized.

This only happens when the phone is plugged in and I have used both USB ports, but this nuisance still occurs.

I have a 2009 Limited (fully loaded, almost every option). It has power driver and passenger seats, however, the seat backs are manual. You have to lift the lever and lean forward or back and release the lever to adjust the angle on the seat backs. Hate it! mobdro 2022

I have a 2019 edge st I have two things I don't "love" about this vehicle. The EXPLODER I traded in had power folding outside mirrors I sort of miss those. Two. My sound system doesn't want to play my iPod . it appears to play, but no sound comes out. that's ok, I don't use it anyways.

X2 on the power folding mirrors.

That goofy cubby area in the center console under the dash (in front of and over the power port on the passenger side), with no rear facing access. I don't see how it is useful for anything. Also the center console storage, glove box, door storage...are small. I tried putting the contents of my old 2017 Escape into the same compartments in the Edge, and they don't fit, at all. Only part bigger is the little tray in the console storage area, which was gum, chapstick, pen and pencil.

The only use that ive ever had for it was a place to set a phone (Or other item) that is charging from the power outlet on the side there.

Somewhere in a remote engineering building at the Ford Motor Company, a design engineer sits in the dark, snickering quietly to himself, as he remembers designing that stupid, worthless opening in that console, which has no practical use.

 

Wondering how many people are trying to figure out its use,  when he simply had an argument with his wife and decided to take it out on tbe design of the Edge.

 

Heh, heh, heh.

My 2010 awd Limited gives an extremely smooth and quiet ride with no rattles. Power and gas mileage are excellent for a vehicle of this size, seats and legroom are superb and the premium sound system is very nice.

Must be something you hate about your  car. That IS the object of this post after all. (Can't get off that easily). lol

Maybe that IS what he hates. Next we'll find someone who hates puppies and sunsets.

 

As for me... I continue to hate all the little things that Ford decided to cut costs on... hood insulation, sensors in the rear door handles, good lighting in the cargo area, virtual climate controls, having to fully open the sunshade just to vent the panoramic roof. Coming from a couple recent Fusions, these "little" things take time to come to grips with. I still walk up to my back doors expecting it to unlock... probably the one convenience I miss most from the previous cars (not sure if they were ever available on the Edge).

My 2019 SEL will lock or unlock if I have the fob with me and I touch the top (lock), or put my hand behind the handle (unlock) on the rear doors. Must have been deleted for...2022?

I hate(d) the capped lug nuts. I bought some fairly cheap solid metal chromed ones that are bulge acorn and replaced them all.

They have been on there for 200 miles, checked twice and none have been "loose", I don't think I need to get the super wide bulge ones, I removed some and checked and they seem to seat just fine. Might be tougher if I was starting with a loose wheel and putting the first one on. Only a couple could I get the OEM lug wrench on more than 1/4 of the way on, I had to take my time and wiggle it on to get enough bite to get them off, and it only has 1000 miles on the second set of tires.

Maybe it is the way the 2019+ hood is very visible from the drivers seat, but with a bit of side wind, the hood really shimmies and shakes on the interstate, and on rougher roads. It was bought used, and it shows some signs of abuse, but it doesn't look like the hood has been removed (the EGR cooler work doesn't seem to require it).

 

While the 2015-2018 hood is similar, I don't recall seeing it as prominently when driving them. The one 2014 had a flat hood.

Went from a  2013 Limited to a 2022 Titanium. I don't like the scoop in the hood, it's visually distracting and seems to catch a lot of wind. The ambient lighting no longer has a color selection. The leather feels cheaper than on my 2013. There is no clock on the dash cluster panel, only on the tablet. Arm rest console has even less storage. Glove box opens on the side with a push button. Fuel door requires a push to open and close...sometime I have to push it more than once. Window controls are out of reach so I have to lean forward. There is way too much info and buttons on the window wiper handle/switch. Doors don't have a pop up knob to allow you to manually pull up the lock to unlock; it's just a light that is red or green. The head rests are NOT adjustable forward and back, only up and down.  I'm sure I am forgetting a few other little things.

Well, I decided to look into this more as others haven't reported it.

Looks like I am going to the dealer to get a replacement hood bumper and striker bumper. The striker bumper doesn't stay in place. I found it laying in the plastic tray it contacts when it place.

The passenger side does have a bumper/stop at least
