New 2020 Titanium owner - did I make a mistake?

Recommended Posts

Greetings. We just purchased a 2020 Edge Titanium with ~ 33K miles. I had done some research on the Edge prior, and have a few friends who own Edges that love them. But now I'm seeing talk about issues with the engine, transmissions slippage, etc. It is a certified used car, so I have some protection. Just wondering what you all have experienced, especially those with the 2020 and with higher miles. Did we make a mistake?

 

Thanks for all the feedback. It will be much appreciated.

The coolant intrusion issue was supposedly fixed for the 2019 model year for the Edge. I think most of the issues with the transmission are related to the 6F35 (harsh shifting, flex plate breaking) which was last used in 2018 in the Edge.

 

While the 2019+ engine does have some new things (the EGR cooler), the 8 speed transmission has been around since 2019 (in the Edge, since 2017 in some other vehicles) and I haven't seen any trends of high failure rates or issues.

 

I personally bought a 2019 at the end of its powertain warranty and felt good not opting for the extended warranty that was over 10% of the purchase price. It already suffered the EGR cooler failure, the PCM update done and the cooler replaced.

Bought it new.  2019 Ford Edge SEL.  So far so good, haven't had any problems.  But only have 28,323 miles on it so far.
