Pugs Posted March 3, 2023 Report Share Posted March 3, 2023 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.

dabangsta Posted March 3, 2023 Report Share Posted March 3, 2023 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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nolan Posted April 21, 2023 Report Share Posted April 21, 2023 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alilbitclueless Posted yesterday at 04:36 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 04:36 PM I am thinking of buying a used, 1 owner Edge with 32K miles, how has yours been since purchasing? I am buying the extended warranty, no matter what though.. Thanks in advance for your time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am buying the extended warranty, no matter what though.. Thanks in advance for your time I bought a 2016 Titanium a couple of years ago, with around 60K I think. I don't put a lot of miles on it, but my son drove it for a while when his car tanked on him, until he got a new one. He put quite a few miles on it. It now has 95K or so, and I have not had any issues with it. I did have to replace a TPMS sensor just recently, but otherwise, routine maintenance. Again, I don't drive it heavily, since I am retired, and it's just me and my wife, and we have another car also. But I have had nothing bad to say so far.

STBEAST Posted 17 hours ago Report Share Posted 17 hours ago Seems like there was a time when extended warranties were a waste of money. Now days an extended warranty is probably one of the best investments you can make. Way too much crap on today's vehicles and guaranteed something will fail.
