• FORD EDGE IGNITION COI...
So I have two ford edge now. I have kept lots and lots of used car , all brands. Nothing impressed me more than the 2010 ford edge, bought 154000 miles now after driving another 20000 miles and no issues. I went out bought another 2011 ford edge with 130 k miles. So, I have done regular maintenance all fluid changes, coolant, transmission, engine. Drives like new. So here is my 50 cents, older model ford edge is the most under appreciated suv ever. This thing is better than a Toyota better than a honda. I am not lying, it is. Why edges fail, because people don't do simple maintenance and keep running till they end. So go out look for a ford edge from people who care about their cars, edge will never disappoint. Thanks for making this video, your research is spot on.
Thank you 👍 Yeap, the Edge is very underrated 💯
I have a 2013 3.5L 181,200 miles. Great, reliable vehicle. No major issues. Brake Booster replaced around 170,000. Be cautious of the water pump as it runs off the timing chain. Thinking staying on top of coolant/radiator maintenance and regular oil changes (I do Mobil1 every 10k miles) may increase longevity of the water pump…I’ve not had any issues from that standpoint
Nice 👍 Yes, I think more frequent oil changes and coolant drain and fills (with OEM fluid) may help extend the life of the water pump.
You're pushing it with that 10k interval. Better off doing it at 5k and its so easy you can do it yourself and save $$$.
I just bought a 2013 with a 3.5 V6 motor all wheel drive and the thing is just a rocketship 150,000 miles paid 7000 for it. The only thing it needed when I bought it was an alignment and an oil change, and it’s like brand new whoever owned it before me took like extremely good care of it, the ride is great and I’m a big guy and it is a lot of room for such a little car. I love it.
Nice 👍
My 2013 Edge 3.5 SE has 227K miles; I inherited it with 224K. The engine runs like new, does not leak or burn oil. Only issue is that 3 times, without warning, the brake pedal becomes soft and goes down to the floor - it has to be pressed very firmly for the car to stop. Ford changes the brake booster for this known issue but many owners say it does not fix the problem and that the culprit is the ABS module, which is expensive and Ford does not replace under their customer satisfaction agreement. The water pump location worries me because it is inside the motor and will damage the engine if it leaks. The car rides nicely, feels solid, and is powerful.
Nice 👍 So did they replace the brake booster?
I have a 2007 first gen and she's been super good to me and very easy to work on.
@@micheallking8784 Nice 👍 Keep it forever 💯
This is just the video I needed. Checking one out tomorrow, was nervous about the high-ish mileage but now not so much!
I’m glad it helped 👍 Make sure the title is clean and also get it looked at by a mechanic before you buy any used car. You’re not looking for perfection, but you don’t want any major problems. Also, when I buy a used car I try to screen the previous owner. I made a video on how to do that. You may be able to check the maintenance history before you even go look at the vehicle. Check out this video, it can help a lot. Good luck 🍀

I have a 2015 Edge with the v6, no turbo. No problems up untill now, have no heat inside the cab,cool not hot, so I will figure this out, but so far so good. Thanks MJ
No problem 👍 For your heat issue, is your coolant level ok ? If so, it could be your heater core or maybe a stuck blend door….
Same. Pretty sure it’s the blend motor under the driver side dash. Gonna replace mine this week
Fords are really bad for that.@@RevelationThree20
I have a 2016 with 3.5L. Just over 60,000, having some issues with parking breaks?? Two lights and a bell keep going off.. And two separate messages to the left. Is this an expense repair???
@@TheRabidfox11 Depends on what you consider expensive 🤷♂️ I found a video with a 2017 that has a similar problem.
In this video there was a problem with corrosion getting in the wiring harness near the rear brakes. In that case replacing the harness solved the problem. So probably a few hundred dollars. That doesn’t mean it will 100% be the same repair or price as your vehicle….
But- perhaps it will be. The only way to know for sure it’s to take it to a good technician and have them look at it.
I hope that helps : )

I have a navy blue 2011 Ford Edge limited w/ chrome 20" wheels and chrome trim. 6 cylnder. Milage just hit 130,000 and still runs like new. I keep it showroom quality. I have had it 3 years and the only problem that i have had was the backup camera and my panoramic sunroof. The sunroof issue was solved when i got a new battery. The rubber is off track slightly on the right side. It just needs to realigned and greased and it will be fine. Overall a great car. I love it.
Yeap, they are great vehicles. Yours should have MANY more miles left ! 👍
I think the problem with coil packs is not changing your spark plugs in time. I have 220K miles on my 2008 Edge 3.5L & never had a problem with a coil pack.
Interesting theory. You could be right 👍 Thanks for sharing this 💯
I have a 2013 Edge SEL AWD V6 3.5ltr. and it's awesome! A solid, quiet ride, good handling and all around great vehicle. Dislikes are the sync system and I have had to replace the front struts three times! Fuel mileage isn't the best, but that wasn't a factor for me. I definitely have the water pump checked often and do all the scheduled maintenance.
Nice ride 👍 Question- Did you replace the struts with OEM or aftermarket?
Good research and report! I have a 2019, ST with 2.7L motor with AWD. ST has a 5,000 built-in towing hitch, which I use for a boat trailer. The AWD S mode is cool when pulling the boat out of the lake. I love watching the intelligent AWD meter automatically engage all 4 wheels.
Thank you ! That’s cool that you can tow so much with it 👍
I appreciate all the work you do
Thanks bro 👍 Comments like that give me motivation to go forward 💯
Recently got a 2014 ford edge with 17k miles and I love it so far. Can’t wait to make it preform even better.
Nice 👍
@@MJ100kthose are very low miles
I loved my 2008 ford edge 186000 miles with a 3.5 engine fwd wheel drive. Great vehicle. No problem
Awesome 👍 Do you not have it anymore? What happened to it?
Just got a 2013 SEL with 97k on it. I need to do the tune up on it but it drives great. I have that pano roof but it doesn’t work. Really don’t care about that. Enjoyed your video and gave you a thumbs up. Only think I’m still getting use to is the gas mileage lol. My previous crossover was a 4 cylinder. It got totaled
@@deion5947 Thanks 👍 Sounds like a sweet ride. Glad you liked the video.
I have an 11 limited. I dont like those awd models. Its just more things to break. Paid $5000 for it last year. 162k. I love how it drives. And love the extras it has! My favorite part of the car is the sunroof and the stereo! I did replace the panoramic sunroof sliders (common problem) Did it myself. Needed a new front wheel bearing. Also did myself. Right now the only issue is a evap small leak code. And sometimes i get a message on the dash "check fuel inlet" or something like that. (common problem). Im planning to replace the purge valve. See if that helps
Nice 👍 Does it have a gas cap? If so, I might start there….
I own a 2013 Edge Limited with the 3.5 I have about 115000 so far. Good to hear the high mileage potential. I love having the Sony stereo with factory amp. Sounds amazing but I don't think its available in base models. Thanks for all the digging.
No problem 👍
I have a 2017 w/2.0 Ecoboost. Pretty good overall except at 61,000 I had to replace the engine because of a cracked block. TSB#19-2172. 1,000 miles out of warrantee and no help from FORD so I spent $6,000 plus for repair.
Ouch, yeah I prefer the 6 cylinder to the eco boost for this vehicle.
Bought a 2014 Edge new. It has had no major issues. The oil has been changed at around 7500 miles each time. Changed the plugs around 2 weeks ago.
@@roncherry814 Nice 👍
I get a little over 25 mpg. It actually drives and rides good
@@roncherry814 Yeah they are good vehicles. 👍
Just bought a 2016 Edge with the 3.5. It replaced a 2008 Ford Taurus X with 225,000 mi. Never had a problem with the engine except the AC compressor at 200k. Hoping for similar reliability with the Edge.
Nice - I’ve been hearing some good things about that model Taurus.. I may have to make a video about it 👍
2009 Ford Edge with 160,000 miles. 2WD, 6 Cylinder, 3.5L. Bought it 1 year old with 9,000 miles. It's a beast! My major repairs have been axle, tie rods, shocks, struts all in the 85,000 - 125,00 miles range. Interesting to see your video and learn it truly is a good car. Keeping it, but in the market for a newer car and looking at Ford Edges again. Came across your video researching if the newer models are as reliable. Was looking at 2021-2023. Any input or links to share on this?
If I were you I’d get a 2015 Ford Edge SE trim (or any trim without the pano roof) because, according to my research, 2015 the last year they used the 3.5 liter engine. If you want more info on the current Edges engine - the 2.0l eco boost - Google - Ford 2 liter eco boost common problems… Then you’ll understand why I recommend sticking with the 3.5 liter lol Just watch the water pump on the 3.5 engine and you’ll be fine.
One this channel … once a model and year range are determined… we use a 3 step process that includes the following:
1- Select - selecting the best year range and powertrain for you.. Which in this case is the 2015 3.5 liter
2- Screen - screen the previous owner(s) by looking at the car fax for free online. Here’s a couple videos of how I do this.

czcams.com/video/uADJ-f39pvE/video.htmlsi=pDsOMMDmdVFPhdj2
3- inspect - have a mobile mechanic go to the lot and check it out before you buy it. You’re not looking for perfection, but you must avoid huge problems… Excessive rust, accidents ect. Car lots will sell you anything. Anything small that the mechanic finds can be used as leverage to lower your offer to the dealership.
Have fun shopping. Let me know if you have any questions 👍
@@MJ100k Wow Thanks for all the info. Much appreciated!
2011 SeL 3.5 no major issues just a abs pump replacement and batteries. Runs like a top bought at 25k miles now has110k I may buy another with low miles and keep truck in I love it.
Nice ! Should last another 100k at least 👍
Any issues that u know of on the 3.7L, that sport trim model just looks amazing 👌🏼
The 3.7l is pretty similar to the 3.5l. So you have to watch out for the water pump like the 3.5. 👍
At 355 thousand miles, putting 1600 in it would be no biggie. Better than a car payment!
@@marionhall9641 New cars are so expensive - rehabbing an old one makes more sense than ever 👍
Great content
Thank you 👍
Nice review, please guys don’t be stingy with the likes
Thanks bro 👍
Got a 2017 SEL 3.5 L 70.9K has been a great car so far. AWD
Nice 👍 one of the last 3.5l engines 💯
Got a 14 limited awd 3.5L. It has 99k on it. Doing coils/plugs on my own. Coolant/brake flush soon. Only issue is an oil leak on the timing cover. Change the oil every 5k.
Nice 👍 Sounds like you’re taking good care of it, should have a lot of life left 🚗
get the PTU serviced.
Just had my timing chain seal replaced and it wasn’t cheep. Was covered by the extended warranty,
@@kevinaddington706 That’s good 👍
My Taurus has the same 3.5 engine, that engine is rock solid. 14 years old and still purrs like a kitten. Unable to get an Edge, check out a 6th Gen. Taurus. Such great advice in the video!
I just looked up some numbers, and it appears you are correct 👍 I’m seeing high mileage examples for sale online… several over 300k ! I might have to do a video on this Taurus 🤔💯🛠️
@@MJ100k That be great! The only things that needed repair under the hood was a high-pressure power steering line and an oxygen sensor. All which happen after a 100k miles.
@@Chieftain357 No problem. It will take a couple months. There are a few cars in line lol 😆
Just bought a 2013 sport edge brake problems really bad master cylinder bad brake caliper sticking $105,000 mi $4,000 since January 24th to July 24th with the 3.7 trying to hold on to it but eventually it's going to have to go
@@roberttillman5943 Ouch - Yeah a lot of people don’t know you’re supposed to flush your brake fluid every few years (in all vehicles) That helps prolong the life of. Brake components.
CHANGING THE REAR SPARK PLUGS IS A VERY BIG PAIN AND TIME CONSUMING. ALL 3.5 + 3.7 ENGINES. FINIS PAX
I have a 2013 3.5 l v6. It has 155,000. I bought it at 86,000. It was well cared for. And I have maintained it well too. I never had a problem with it until last week a coolant leak. My mechanic said the water pump is leaking. Because it's powered by the timing chain it would be over 3k to fix. But wait there's more...there is a second leak near the transmission. He said he has never seen leak there before. I would need to go to Ford to fix that. He told me it's not worth fixing. It would likely be over 6k to fix both leaks. I'm sad I really like my Edge. I recently read 2013 typically only last 150,000.
Sorry to hear that… I would get a second opinion if I were you. Believe it or not… Occasionally mechanics will give you a super high quote when they don’t feel like doing a hard job (hoping that you’ll say no) …. and that water pump is a pretty hard job.
🥂🍺👍😎Own a great used 2007 - 235,000 mile Edge. Need left fender and driver door. Thanks, from deer living in my area.
Nice 👍 It’s a great vehicle 🚗
That 6 cylinder with the water pump in the timing chain drive is a deal killer. 12-1400 dollar charge for a water pump is crazy.
It is what it is 🤷♂️ A lot of people pay close to that for a timing belt job every 100k. One guy on here bought the special tool and did it himself. Took him all weekend, but he got it done ✅ 💯
Not only that, but the fact it can leak in the engine and nuke it is the biggest thing, I'm currently doing the job right now but another problem is the secondary timing chain broke as well, so I don't know if this engine is toasted or what, guess I'll find out
@@hummerguy fingers crossed 🤞
@@MJ100k Yea same here, the car was running rough at the time so we changed the spark plugs and coil packs. After that, we took it for a test drive and about 6 miles later, the car completely dies, it didn't make no weird noise or anything, it just died. This was my mom car on first, after that, she brought it to the mechanic shop and they said it needed a new engine because of the noise in the timing chain. She decided to decline getting a new engine and was going to just get the car scrapped, I decided I'll take it and see what I can do, she got a newer 2.0 ecoboost edge now.
So far the things that failed was the "Water pump, secondary timing chain tensioner, and the secondary timing chain snapped. I'm currently waiting on a few more parts till I put everything back together and see what happens. I'm replacing the oil pump as well since I'm in there. I'm hoping this piston/valves didn't get any damage and this engine can go for another 150k. The car is at 154k right now
I have a 2013 SEL with the V6 that I bought brand new. It just turned 236,000 miles today. I am at the point where I need to make a decision. The AWD transfer case (?) is leaking and needs to be replaced (quoted $2600) and she needs new tires (would be the third set - only buy OEMs) at $1500. The suspension is getting a bit rugged and I don't know how much it might be to tighten everything up. Otherwise I love this vehicle and would keep her forever but my daughter hates the car, says the AC smells. Priced a "new" 2024 at $38K and it still has that truck-like ride. Had a few coil issues, and the driver door lock recall, but no major problems. Sell or keep? What's your advice? I saw many 2013's listed FSBO with high mileage. Maybe buy a replacement?
@@rukiddnhon Did you have to replace any coil packs or the water pump yet ? If not… at your miles - those repairs will need to be done eventually - and they are expensive. With all the other things wrong - I would go ahead and trade in that Edge now. So you can dodge those issues. But I wouldn’t get a new 2024 Edge. I’d get a 2018 (or older) Edge. 2018 is the last year they put the 3.5 liter engine in the Edge. I don’t want the new eco boost turbo engine. You can find a great 2018 for around 20-23 thousand. I would get one without the pano / glass roof.
Here’s and example of one - you don’t have to get this one lol
It’s 20,000$ with 41k miles and the 3.5 liter engine. I’d take this all day over a new eco boost for 40,000$ lol

How to buy the BEST used Ford Edge. Shop Smart ! Save Time and MONEY
czcams.com/video/5OUcDzMhlkk/video.html
Just picked up a 2014 Edge sport FWD and it has no issues other than the alarm randomly going off. Still trying to figure that out.
Is it an OEM alarm or aftermarket?
I liked the video. I have a 2013 Lincoln MKX with the 3.7 V/6. Isn't this basically the same motor ? Do you know on average miles when the water pump goes up, because that looks like a real expensive repair? Also every thing on the motor looks like It would be a costly repair. Hope this motor holds up as good as the 3.5.
Yes the 3.7 is a very similar Duratec motor. The transverse versions of the 3.7 are also affected by the water pump concern in the 3.5L A very rough estimate would be 1,500-2000$
When will it happen: ? IDK - there was a class action lawsuit that was dismissed that claimed it happened as low as 50k. Ford says it’s tested to 150k… So idk when it could happen exactly.
See the section on water pumps:
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Cyclone_engine
Some people think that changing the fluid with OEM fluid often and checking the coolant level weekly could help to see a signal it’s going out…
But if it fails it could damage the engine - so if you’re planning on keeping the vehicle for a few years… I would make plans to get that water pump replaced if it’s original. You might as well replace the timing chain and any seals in that area while you’re in there.
@@MJ100k Thanks, Ill keep a eye on the coolant & oil. Ford should be sued for making a motor like that, but I know GM & Chrysler have done It too. I didn't know until I bought It & a friend said I better hope the water pump never goes up
One other issue is on my 2011 SE with the basic headlight projector type there is no bulb upgrade and the OE sucks bad
Interesting- so does it not work at all or is it just not bright enough for you ?
Why not just get a LED 9012 light, it'll be a great upgrade from the OEM bulbs
ALL 3.5 + 3.7 FORD ENGINES HAVE THE WATER PUMP BUILT INTO THE ENGINE. IT TAKES ABOUT 11-12 HOURS TO REPLACE AT AROUND $2000. ANY TURBO CHARGED ENGINE TURNS OUT TO BE JUNK. OVERTAXING A LITTLE MOTOR TO PRODUCE BIG MOTOR RESULTS, IS A DISASTER. FINIS PAX
I have a 2014 3.5 FWD bought it 55k miles and now I have 105k on it . Purrs like a kitten.. only thing I changed was a $40 sensor. Im nervous about the waterpump though
Me too lol If you plan on keeping it another 100k… I’d go ahead and change it. 💯
Have a 2014 Ford Edge limited 3.5 liter front wheel drive just peaked 103,000 miles very reliable only needed to change the alternator at about 102,000 miles I went ahead and changed exhaust manifold gasket and O ring for intake throttle body and clean throttle body as well pulled spark plugs just needed a good scrubbing clean them as for the famous water pump in the event it does Fail I plan on doing the repair myself of course it will take time fingers crossed hoping it's possible probably best to inspect the timing chain and its tensioners and replace all those as a package what are your guys's thoughts should I go ahead and replace timing chain and water pump ahead of time or keep it rolling until it gives out what is the proper way to approach this conundrum thank you
@@sulemanshafique5119 How long do you plan on keeping this vehicle ? 1-3 years, 3-6 years…. 6 years plus …..
6 + guaranteed this engine is very powerful being a V6 must be maintained
@@sulemanshafique5119 If you have experience doing big jobs like replacing timing belts/chains … then you should be able to handle this job. Just make sure to use the OEM special tool and the directions. If you have never done big jobs like this …. I would go ahead and pay a mechanic who has experience to do this one. While you’re in there - replace as many parts as you can (chain, guides, tensioner, seals etc) just to get them out the way. This way you can keep driving this vehicle for many years to come 👍
@@MJ100k sounds like a plan. I definitely do want to do it myself and if anything goes wrong, I can always then pay a professional to do it. That’s how I would approach it. It might take longer but I’d get the satisfaction of knowing what I put on the vehicle for future repairs.
I have and love a 2017 Ford Edge. Have 92k miles, and just found out that I either get a new motor or a new car. What do you know about the coolant getting into the 2nd cylinder and gluing the sparkplug to the motor. Removing it cracks the motor.
What engine do you have?
My 2013 blew up, had a Ford manufactory engine recall & Ford Motor Co would not fix it, his garage manager quit over it!!
I believe the recall you’re referring to was for the 2 liter Edge, not the 3.5 liter
what about those water pump replacement cost $1600 that is labor ,pump $36?
Yeap- The water pump is a long job to do on this vehicle. Many shops are charging more for labor these days because of inflation unfortunately. 🤷♂️
Also, that sounds like a low price for a water pump. If I were you I’d get a water pump from the dealership parts department. It may cost more …. But this is NOT a job I’d want to have to do twice, due to putting in a cheap water pump.
They quoted me $2,500 so did it myself. 2015 3.5l SE and water pump started leaking at about 100k. Upgraded to a Melling HV oil pump while I was in there. Timing components all looked great and tight so no changes there. Did a new serpentine belt, tensioner as well while I had it off.
Very hard job to do at home. Took me 5 days. But total cost was about $600. They would’ve charged $3k for the other repairs as well so saved $2,400
@@RevelationThree20 Wow Nice job 👍
I have a 2011 sel model. It has 150k kms on it. My Edge has been a pretty reliable vehicle. I have done all regular maintenance and change the ptu fluid myself every 2nd oil change.
@@Riezigwhat is ptu?
Love my 2014 sport awd but notice a slight vibration between 55 and 60 otherwise smooth ride. New Michelins didn't cure it
Hmmm, it probably something that rotates if it only happens at a certain speed range. Maybe- rims, rotors, axels, torque converter
The same problem I have. Brand new tires and twice I made a wheels balance. And no charges (
I'm too familiar with the 3.5 engine and the waterpump that located inside. I agree it a good engine but if that waterpump fails it will put coolant into the oil it's just a very short matter of time.
If I bought a 3.5 liter, I’d go ahead and replace the water pump before it fails. I’d treat it like a timing belt interval. New one every 75-85k.
Mine failed, even with a Ford Recall & Ford Motor Co known issue to replace the motor, Conway's Motor Co of Bardstown, KY refused to replace my motor on my 2013 the garage manager quit over this!!
@@jeannie5389 I’m sorry to hear that. Sometimes you can complain directly to the OEM if a dealer refused to cover a warranty or recall. Are you referring to the recall for the fuel pulse damper that can leak ? That one was for the 2.0 liter turbo engine
2014-01-06
Recall no.
14V002000
Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain model year 2012-2013 Edge vehicles manufactured from September 2, 2010, through April 25, 2013, and equipped with 2.0L engines. The fuel line pulse damper metal housing may crack as a result of an improper manufacturing process. A cracked fuel line pulse damper housing may result in a combination of fuel odor, weepage, or a continuous leak while the fuel system is pressurized.
@@jeannie5389 Did you have a 2 liter engine or a 3.5 liter? I believe the recall you’re referring to was for a potentially leaking fuel pulse damper on the 2 liter engine.
I looking at the saturn vue 2004-2007 honda engine someone told me 2006 2.2 engine is good so i dont know lol
Interesting - I looked up the Saturn Vue- looks like it does have the Honda v6 as an option. That v6 does have a timing belt though. I’m not hearing good things about the transmissions in Vues.. but they do offer a manual … so IDK. Generally- I think that if you want a Honda engine you might as well buy a Honda lol I’d probably get a Honda CRV, Ford Edge or Togota Rav 4 over a Vue.
@@MJ100k Honestly, I prefer the vue if it has a manual, those things are light since they're made of fiberglass

I was thinking of doing a video on the Ford Explorer lol I’ve been seeing them everywhere lately
Well, you glossed over the poorley designed 3.5 water pump issue. It will cost $1400 to $1600 to get it replaced. Worse, if it leaks, coolant will mix with the engine oil, and you know what that means. YIKES!
@@stuuuporman With the cost of a new car averaging 45,000$ The prospect of buying a good used car for 7 or 8,000$ and later replacing a water pump for 1,400$ all of a sudden.. doesn’t seem so bad 🤷♂️ One guy on here, took a weekend … did the repair himself and saved a grand 😉 Other used cars can blow whole engines or transmissions for 4-6000$ 👀
I would not have one because of the internal water pump i think that will make people buy something eiles 2000 dollarwater pump change out is not good
Every used vehicle has common problems. You can chose the vehicle with the common problem that you don’t mind dealing with 🤷♂️ One guy on here changed his own water pump on one of these… Took him all weekend… but he did it 💯
“NONE” is the best year since that engine has to be pulled out to change a bad water pump. Serious engineering failure. It appears they can go for a long time, but it’s not if, it’s when. Thanks for the info though, they are nice otherwise.
Thanks for your comment. The water pump job is difficult - however, my research is showing that the engine does not need to be removed from the vehicle to complete the repair. It has to be dropped down a few inches to access the crankshaft pulley bolt. But the entire engine does not need to be removed.
Here are several videos showing the repair below. Some people in the comments were able to complete the repair themselves. But yes, it is a difficult repair. 💯
