I bought my 2013 Edge at 147,000 miles. I went through it and made the flex coupler on the exhaust removable. Replaced the ORIGINAL spark plugs 7:26 and coil packs. I then replaced front and rear brakes and bought good tires for it. I run full synthetic oil and change the oil and filter every 5000 miles. I love my Edge , so happy to hear people getting such high mileage out of them
I bought my 2007 Ford Edge SE at 43K in 2013. Aside from normal maintenance like fluids, brakes, and suspension work, it has been nothing but reliable and now has about 176K (due to work traveling). I'm glad to learn about these top 5 problems in case I ever encounter them. Thank you for the video!
Side note: The fuse box that she pulled the cover off also has the 5 digit pin code for the manual unlock on your drivers door. I bought a 2013 Edge a year ago and the Ford dealer was going to charge us $79 to get that #.
I own a 2008 edge with over 327000 kms still in great running condition.I met a retired ford employee who advised me to keep up with oil changes every 3 months and the motor will last another 300,000 great suv
My neighbor is a safety engineer at Ford, his daily drive is always a Edge (3 Edge since I know him). He told me, in his 15 years career with Ford, Edge safety test score is highest amount any vehicles he has ever tested. And he is not only testing Ford vehicles, he also test competitive vehicles. For that reason I bought my 2014 Edge, after 8 years and 80K miles, it is running great.
I used to build these at the Oakville assembly plant, my fathers been there for 22 years and all I can say is that this is a beautiful car if you get it done up with the packages and the 3.5L will last you a long time if you don’t beat on it all day long!!!
I have a 2012 Edge and was getting Evap system leak codes. There's was an evap message on the speedometer screen and after I changed the valve canister, that message went away. But after clearing the codes, BlueDriver odb was still reading evap leak with large and fuel cap loose. Just gave up after that, didn't want to deal with fuel cap parts. Great informative video!
Water pump goes out and it’s game over.motor blown and if the shift solenoid goes out while your on the highway doing 70mph your car will downshift to 1st gear,skid out of control and mess all tie rod ends and ball joints in the front end.(not user serviceable ant there are 3 of them,transmission has to come out of car because parts are internal)a rolling self destruct machine,mine died at 210,000 miles.other than that good car.
I’ve had a 2017 Ford Edge titanium with the 3.5L V6 and I’ve only had to do oil changes on it since having it, bought it in 2018; I also use to drive about 225KM a day and she ran like a charm!!
Had all of them in my 2011. Still love it. Brake booster, all 4 door locks, power steering pump, water pump ($1800), rear toe-in, 8 inch dash screen stays on, it goes on and on. But I just keep fixing 'em. I love the ride, the power, the gadgetry.

Hi 1A Auto, First I want to say thank you for being so helpful to help fix car as an DIYer that I am, and thanks for upload such a excellent video quality for all the videos. As she said in this video I have run with the same issue not finding any information about certain things nowhere. My question is. Do you have a suggestion to have free access to repair manual for my Ford Explorer? I know a lot of subscriptions that I don’t feel happy paying that monthly payment hahahahaha. But there is always I can find the information to locate a hidden component on my car something like it. Thanks guys again for your amazing help and extraordinary video quality!!
I own a 2007 Ford Edge. Radiator fan went out at 150,000 miles but was only $250 to fix. Either than that mainly struts, ball joints, and easier stuff to fix that’s common for any vehicle. At 160,000 miles now hoping to hold onto it for longer. Rust free too
Bought new V6 2009 Edge. My fans went out at 170,000 miles. Mechanic says my year one wire ran both fans, but has been changed not sure which year. When it goes your car is going to need towing. I was towed twice mechanic didnt realize the fans went out. and he thought I had a leaking reservoir the first time I took it in. 180,000 miles once a while the transmission would stick in first for a moment, drained transmission 3-4 times not a big issue, original spark plugs. California car.
Granted I skipped around. But I didn't hear anything about PTU failures because Ford believes that 1qt if gear oil is good for life. It has no built in drain and is crammed next to the exhaust and up against the engine with no airflow. This is a huge problem with all Ford AWDs until they quietly installed a drain plug.
I got my Edge about a year ago with 150k miles on it and haven't had any issues with it. Nothing more than routine maintenance. Love my Edge. Glad i decided to get it and not something else that i would end up hating.
I have a 2013 Ford Edge bought back in September of last year with 35k miles now it has 42k miles and it runs like a top I love it hope to have for many more years to come
Additionally my passenger door open indictor. Stays on until I open & close the passenger door several times. So thanks for providing knowledge about that issue also.
It weeps at the vent, yes? Dealership told me at last service that as long as the fluid level was checked at every service and topped off when needed that it wasn't a huge problem. Is this incorrect?
338,000 miles on my 2007 2.3 Ford Fusion. Only had to replace bad Throttle Body, and yesterday my starter. Only brakes, tires, oil etc.. and other cosmetic things. Cheers Folks!
Always great content and answers, thank you 1AAUTO! My problem is how to reset the climate control on my 2010 Ford Edge replaced the dr side blend door actuator but stlll have a 15 degree diference to passenger side. It is not like the newer one with the power button. I am asking for the exact buttons to hold and press thanks in advance.
She should have mentioned the “Shift To Park” message when the micro switch in the shift mechanism goes bad or the blend door actuators that fail on models equipped with Dual Climate Control. Last but not least, many people have had problems with the PTU on the AWD models simply because it wasn’t made to be serviced.
no ptu mention? that's a big, expensive one. i had a 2011 sel for a bit and it left me with ptsd the house. new fuel pump, new steering rack x3... new rear drive shaft, new flex pipe, the door latch, the vent solenoid, the canister purge... then the ptu blew. i traded that thing in for a mazda 3.
Had a 2013 Ford Edge. Only issue was the rear camera not always turning on when reversing (loos connection). Traded it in and bought a 2021 Ford Edge ST-Line. Super cool vehicle.
We have a 2010 model and the car had 13,000 miles on it when i bought it for the wife, we now have about 120,000 miles and have had none of these problems on our car, she has been very reliable over the years. I change the oil every 20,000 miles as i have 100% full Synthetic Amsoil oil in the car and we get very good mileage as well.
I have a 2008 edge, with 202k miles on it. I got it from my dad with 183k miles on it. He bought it with 24k miles. Besides normal maintenance, it's only had to have the rear hubs replaced.
Hello I have an 2008 also, I've bought it used, I was wondering if the steering wheel it's little bit hard to turn? But it doesn't have any leak of oil
2013 Ford Edge Limited. I have experienced a number of issues with mine and he most expensive fix was the PTU failure with the all wheel drive (over $1000 to fix), Shift To Park, Door Ajar, A/C blowing hot from the passenger side.
250k on a 2011 Edge and nothing but tires, brakes and regular maintenance. Had the door latch issue when new, but brake cleaner and WD40 corrected it and never another problem with it.
2008 Ford EdgeAWD here, 140kMiles, original PTU with Oil changes made easy as follows: * Drill+Tap PTU bottom between ExhaustPipe & TranMt, installed Fumoto10mmDrainValve. * Replaced 1/2"*14 FillPlug on PTU side with 1/2"*14 to 3/8"HoseBarb90 pointed upward. * Removed PTU TopVentCap+Rubber1Way wIth 5/8"Socket+ScrewPick, reveals 3/8"HoseBarb. * Installed two 3/8"OilHoses from PTU HoseBarbs to FireWall between BattTray+FuseBox. * Installed FiberGlassInsulationWrap around ExhaustPipe under ear PTU. * Installed OilCatchCan with FIlteredVent on FireWallTopLip between BattTray+FuseBox. * Refilled PTU 1/2qt=16oz 75w140 HiTemp AmsOil thru above new OilCatchCan+Hoses. * Routinely Drain+Refill PTU at 5kMile\6Mth intervals, along with EngineOil+Filter changes.
Have a 2008 and 2010 Edge with no problems except I can't reset the Traction Control light which is alway on for the 2010. Dealership pulled a little trick to turn off the warning light when car starts. As I drove off the light came back on. Any suggestions? Thanks.
We own a 2013 edge SEL. Once in a while the wrench warning light comes on and the car will run long enough for you to pull over. Turn the ignition off and wait 20 to 30 seconds, restart the engine and it goes back to normal. This problem only appears when we let the engine idle like waiting at the drive through ATM.
It's May 2024, and I plan on buying a 2016 Edge with 93,000 miles on it. Not everything in this video applies, but it's great to see what I should get checked. Thanks!
I have owned 2 of these. I am on my second one. I had a 2012 Ford Edge Limited. Here are the issues I had with that. Issue 1. " Transmission will not shift to park." this was caused to moisture in the transmission boot tunnel. Issue 2. Panoramic roof would not close, this was common on all first gen edges. Issue 3. HVAC dual zone Blender doors failed, Driver side would blow hot air and passenger side would blow cold air. Currently I have my 2014 Edge Limited. Issue 1 PO456 Evap leak. She really did not need to take all those parts off, $30 off brand from Auto zone. Fixed in 10 min. Issue 2: Door Ajar light, kept draining the battery. Issue 3. Loose driver seat, moves on acceleration and deceleration. Good car overall but seems like just shoddy build quality.
How did you fix the problems? I intend buying the exact same model and year.. What do you have to say about the car now? It's nice to read from an end user and particularly someone that knows stuffs. Please reply
Had a problem with the door ajar light. Fortunately, it was a warranty item. Next problem was the electronic throttle control which was not only a common problem in the Edge but the Escape and Explorer as well since they used the same part. This should’ve been a recall issue but Ford likes to screw its owners. Fortunately again, still under warranty when it occurred.
Let's Not Forget how Ford (and others too) mask these TSB's as Customer Satisfaction Programs. Currently one out on 1st Gen Ford Edges for Brake Booster that goes out and you lose brake power. Also problem with ABS Brake Hydraulic & Control Module where it bypasses fluid and you Lose Brakes. Good Luck to All...
Researched the hell out of this vehicle and settled for the 2010 Ford Edge. Bought mine used and loved it. Most reliable of all the years including the 2014 years according to consumer reports data, history and customer satisfaction.
Ugh I just got a 2010 Ford Edge. They had to fix the gas gauge before they gave it to me, 5 days after getting it it ran out of gas again even though it said it was half full. These comments make me feel better though!
I have a 11’edge and giving me transmission troubles.When cold she has to wait until warm up some before it will move in drive.Also we have to reset with a obd to keep it shifting at times.
I figured out a way to change the oil percentage in my 2011 Edge SEL. It's in one of the settings menu. I'll have to look for it when I get in there next time because I can't remember off the top of my head
Not covered here but two problems I've had with my 2013 Limited. 1) Backup camera will randomly not work when shifting into reverse, 2) The display on on MySyc will randomly go dark to its lowest brightness setting. If I open the driver side door while the engine is on, sometimes it will come back on. Otherwise I have to go into settings and reset the brightness level. This can be difficult because it is hard to see the screen to get to settings menu.
There are other problems: - PTU (Power Transfer Unit), which is the transfer case from the gear box to rear differential in AWD models. It works hot, placed in between exhausts, and holds 12 oz of fluid only. When I replaced the fluid, it was black as ink, and stank like hell. When it fails it would cost like $3500 to replace. See the videos by FordTeckMakuloco.
I just had mine replaced, and was told it has “lifetime fluid” and was sealed and couldn’t be fixed but replaced. It was leaking black sticky oil. I had it replaced with a used part and am planning to sell it ASAP. Just had the brakes done ($1000) and now there seems to be an issue with the ABS. So done with this car. Thank goodness I bought an extended warranty but of course it expired before the PTU gave out.
My mom has a 2010 Ford Edge. The water pump went out and it cost a fortune to fix. Because the water pump is internal they have to remove the engine to get to the water pump. Also the timing chain is around the pump so they will probably go on and change that timing chain while the engine is out. And then the catalytic converter went out and had to have replaced. That was last year and now her SUV is missing or slipping. But I was told once a catalytic converter has already been fixed or worked on u will soon have to fix the other one or work on the one that was fixed. She is the only owner of the vehicle, and is very good at the up keep of it. But just thought I would put this out there if someone else has the same issue they will know it's very costly personally I would get rid of it it's way too expensive for me to pay for.
I’d say the number one is water pump fail and when it fails the water goes into the crank case because the pump is inside motor not on the outside. Not a joy to fix 12 hours plus and that’s if you catch it before it destroys your motor. Mine happened on my 2007
The auto self-destruct feature(the internal timing chain driven water pump on the 3.7). Same engine Mazda CX-9 used. Several thousand to repair. True story.
Change the coolant and the engine oil regularly and you won’t have issues with the water pump, there’s a video that Mac T Ford edge did where he explains why water pumps fail
@@Jantonvid "Mac T Ford edge" also had his water pump break down on him. It's a design issue, you might be lucky and it might not ever be an issue while you own the car or at all but it happens. Of course be diligent with your maintenance but do not think that gives you any kind of guarantee the car won't eventually leave you stranded.
man i was in awe at 4runner prices... started looking to other directions... i think i'm going to stay away from edge... sounds like a lot of difficult to diagnose and repair problems.... Phew... almost bought another ford after leaving ford....
I have a 2012 front wheel drive and have a leaking front driver side axle seal. Had the axle and seal both replaced and continues to leak. Any suggestions!
You didn’t mention the most common and expensive problems... cooling fan module goes bad... you have to replace the whole assembly with a genuine oem ford cooling fan assembly or it won’t work.. $300-$400 and very common.. water pump also is very common and costs about $1500 and that’s a cheap quote
200 dollar fan assembly and 9 minutes to change the fans. Water pump change is expensive. However I have accumulated 700,000 miles on 3 Ford Edges with two at or over 300,000 miles and still on the original water pump. Fluid maintenance is important.
The water pump in that V6 is going to blow at any time. I've heard 180-200k is when they like to go. Super expensive to fix and that's IF you manage to catch it right away. If it fails while you're driving around it will ruin your engine by dumping coolant into the oil and you won't even know until it's too late.
@@nodak81 this is wrong. It only dumps coolant into the oil if the bearing fails (not very common). That is usually caused by lack of maintenance. Also the water pump got an updated design in 2011 to fix that issue. If the water pump starts to fail it will leak coolant externally through a weep hole and you will see coolant on the ground. That means it’s time to be replaced.
i have a 2011 edge SEL and had to do the water pump myself. you do need to be a mechanic to do this as it envoles removing the front of the engine covers both valve covers, the passenger side engine mount and having something to hold the engine with and youll have to also redo the timing after you get the chain off. big pain in the ass but i also love the car and its my wifes sooooo theres that.
2008 Edge Limited. What do I do to fix a Data Compass Error message. That will not take a calibration? And another issue with 6 disc CD player that powers up with key off and with opening doors or turning ignition key on? It has 142K on it. Cluster unit 650$.
My low oil pressure light has come on 3 times and the check engine light. But then they both go away. Its throwing an o2 sensor code running rich. But also my battery has died twice. Could the battery be causing the check engine light and low oil pressure lights to come on. It also idles rough at redlight or when slowing down at redlights and that when it will say low oil pressure and the car shuts off. The drivers side back door has been saying its ajar when it isnt and causing my dome lights to stay on for a few min after i lock the doors, or until i get up to around 15 mph then will go off.
How come you guys didn't mention a problem with PTU (transfer case) on AWD. It's a major problem that cost a lot of money, but it can actually be avoided. By the way great video content! Thanks!
Oil life reset is as follows. Same menu left side steering wheel. Settings-then right to adjust-vehicle-scroll down to Oil life reset-hold button in for time it shows
Don't forget issue with ABS model valve getting stuck causing a very soft (but working) brake pedal..... initial fix is to jam on brakes on a gravel road going forward and backward at 15-20 mph 5 or 6 times after the ABS activates it should free the stuck valve restoring normal brake pedal firmness..... Not my ideas but it did work for me
Now this would'a been nice to know before I replaced mine!!!!!! Although I did replace with a unit off ebay from a wrecked vehicle and the fordscan program.
Looked on 1A auto for Low Frequency Brake Dampener. No luck for a 2010 Ford Edge. Brakes making a "frog" noise for want of a better term. Any suggestions?
2011 Edge AWD here. 134k miles. So far, so good. No major problems but the rear cam did go out. Inverse image and loss of caution lines. Replaced with a Dorman and image is fine but no lines. Even flashed the PCM with FORSCAN but no joy. Oh well, at least I have a color backup cam. No mention of PTO/PTU heating problem. Trick is to have the fluid changed every 50k even tho Ford says its a lifetime fluid unit. BS. Find a local shop that will do it. Also, if you want your water pump not to fail do REGULAR coolant changes. Coolant contains lubrication that the WP needs. Got 213k out of my '98 Explorer and sold still running in good shape by doing REGULAR maintenance. Don't extend intervals.
You can absolutely reset the oil life percentage back to 100%, on some Fords there are increments of oil life you can reset it to in the settings menu. Some with KEY ON ENGINE OFF!!! hold the brake and accelerator pedals down
I appreciate the video and concise clear explanations. We have a 2010 Edge that has been nothing but reliable for us. Our first one was a used 2007, and we decided to get a brand new one at the time, we liked it so much. In the meantime, we have imported the vehicle to Canada from the US. The one item we have a little trouble with is DRL. In Illinois, where we originally purchased the vehicle, DRL is not required. This older model does not have the digital dash that provides the means of activating DRL, or deactivating as desired. Where we live now, DRL is required for the biannual safety inspection. Long story short; do you have any advice on a good "fix" for DRL on a 2010 Ford Edge Limited? I would love to hear your thoughts on this. Thank you!
I'm having trouble finding information about why the oil pressure light illuminates after coming to a stop for red lights, etc. and sitting at idle, 2011 Edge. Fresh oil change recently, verified the oil level, no engine noise. The closest I've come to finding a video with information was some MacT guy but his video was specific to 2011 Edge vehicles with the engine off, key switch on. Can you help? Thanks!
2007-2010 is the first generation. the 2011-2014 is the 1.5 refresh. Also note these are not the top five issues. Maybe on this Edge but overall these are not the top 5. The 2007-2010 have a different set up as far as purge valves much different and less failure prone than the 2011-2014 purge valve. Top five for the 2007-2010. Transmission TSS and OSS sensors, Water pump, Wheel bearings, Strut bearing mounts, and PTU. 2011-2014 have different top five issues.
Right. Details matter. How could they not know 2011 (which I used to own), was #2? I hear you about 1.5 but I feel the MyFord Touch alone makes it a full "2".
@@AmsInTheMitten Platform change occurred in 2015 making it a 2.0 redesign. The 2011-2014 was still the same platform and engine set up except for the addition of the 2.0 Ecoboost and 6F35 transmission pairing.
1A Auto makes these videos in order to sell parts #1 and as a public service #2. They want to sell purge valves, solenoids & door latches...parts that they carry. Are they evil? No, but going to the trouble of producing a video they want to get some benefit out of it.

Want to buy one too. The FWD LIMITED version, how's the car fairing now?
Glad this came up. I got the gas cap warning recently.
Never mentioned the PTU on the AWD. Thats definitely top 5 on these.
Yep had (2) replaced and the rear end also had to be replaced
Yup did mine PTU last year $2000
Had the PTU and Rear differential done recently smh
It weeps at the vent, yes? Dealership told me at last service that as long as the fluid level was checked at every service and topped off when needed that it wasn't a huge problem. Is this incorrect?
The only problem I've had with my 2013 Edge (bought New) is the door ajar warning. Nine years and counting :)
338,000 miles on my 2007 2.3 Ford Fusion. Only had to replace bad Throttle Body, and yesterday my starter. Only brakes, tires, oil etc.. and other cosmetic things. Cheers Folks!
I had 2 2008 fusions. That Mazda engine is wonderful. Great cars.
Always great content and answers, thank you 1AAUTO! My problem is how to reset the climate control on my 2010 Ford Edge replaced the dr side blend door actuator but stlll have a 15 degree diference to passenger side. It is not like the newer one with the power button. I am asking for the exact buttons to hold and press thanks in advance.
Pretty and knowledgeable.. nice! Thank you for doing this video.
I have had my 13 limited AWD for 5 years and have had no problems with it but its nice to know what to look at if something pops up
You're one of the lucky ones.. I've had mine for 1.5 and put over $3 grand into it. Good to hear though
She should have mentioned the “Shift To Park” message when the micro switch in the shift mechanism goes bad or the blend door actuators that fail on models equipped with Dual Climate Control. Last but not least, many people have had problems with the PTU on the AWD models simply because it wasn’t made to be serviced.
+kromedge Thanks for the feedback!
I experienced two of the five!! Door ajar and fuel evap
no ptu mention? that's a big, expensive one. i had a 2011 sel for a bit and it left me with ptsd the house. new fuel pump, new steering rack x3... new rear drive shaft, new flex pipe, the door latch, the vent solenoid, the canister purge... then the ptu blew. i traded that thing in for a mazda 3.
Had a 2013 Ford Edge. Only issue was the rear camera not always turning on when reversing (loos connection). Traded it in and bought a 2021 Ford Edge ST-Line. Super cool vehicle.
I've had this problem as well.
We have a 2010 model and the car had 13,000 miles on it when i bought it for the wife, we now have about 120,000 miles and have had none of these problems on our car, she has been very reliable over the years. I change the oil every 20,000 miles as i have 100% full Synthetic Amsoil oil in the car and we get very good mileage as well.
I have a 2008 edge, with 202k miles on it. I got it from my dad with 183k miles on it. He bought it with 24k miles. Besides normal maintenance, it's only had to have the rear hubs replaced.
Hello I have an 2008 also, I've bought it used, I was wondering if the steering wheel it's little bit hard to turn? But it doesn't have any leak of oil
Thank you so much!
2013 Ford Edge Limited. I have experienced a number of issues with mine and he most expensive fix was the PTU failure with the all wheel drive (over $1000 to fix), Shift To Park, Door Ajar, A/C blowing hot from the passenger side.
Same, I had the ac blowing hot on the passenger side for months. Works correctly when it want too...
The oil light settings are in SETTINGS (or should be). I've worked on many a Ford and my wife has one.
I had the door ajar issue. Disassembling the door panel to fix that issue was a nightmare.
250k on a 2011 Edge and nothing but tires, brakes and regular maintenance.
Had the door latch issue when new, but brake cleaner and WD40 corrected it and never another problem with it.

Sue you are doing such a great job, a quick one please.What triggers the service advance trac icon on dashboard of ford edge limited awd 2011?
I have an edge and I fix 2 problem already been having it for 6 years but is a very good SUV
194000 miles in on a 2010.
Great car.
Have a 2008 and 2010 Edge with no problems except I can't reset the Traction Control light which is alway on for the 2010. Dealership pulled a little trick to turn off the warning light when car starts. As I drove off the light came back on. Any suggestions? Thanks.
Great video thank you!!!
+joshua chikumbindi Thanks for checking us out! 1AAuto.com
We own a 2013 edge SEL. Once in a while the wrench warning light comes on and the car will run long enough for you to pull over. Turn the ignition off and wait 20 to 30 seconds, restart the engine and it goes back to normal. This problem only appears when we let the engine idle like waiting at the drive through ATM.
It's May 2024, and I plan on buying a 2016 Edge with 93,000 miles on it. Not everything in this video applies, but it's great to see what I should get checked. Thanks!
People need to clean their motors, awesome video
+The Shield Thanks for checking us out! 1AAuto.com
I have had the evap code did that myself .. And now goin through the door latch prob now .. I just use electronic cleaner every now and then
Do you recommend this car? Want to buy the 2013-2014 limited version. Have you fixed the door latch problem? If yes, how did you go about it?
I have owned 2 of these. I am on my second one. I had a 2012 Ford Edge Limited. Here are the issues I had with that. Issue 1. " Transmission will not shift to park." this was caused to moisture in the transmission boot tunnel. Issue 2. Panoramic roof would not close, this was common on all first gen edges. Issue 3. HVAC dual zone Blender doors failed, Driver side would blow hot air and passenger side would blow cold air. Currently I have my 2014 Edge Limited. Issue 1 PO456 Evap leak. She really did not need to take all those parts off, $30 off brand from Auto zone. Fixed in 10 min. Issue 2: Door Ajar light, kept draining the battery. Issue 3. Loose driver seat, moves on acceleration and deceleration. Good car overall but seems like just shoddy build quality.
How did you fix the problems? I intend buying the exact same model and year.. What do you have to say about the car now? It's nice to read from an end user and particularly someone that knows stuffs. Please reply
Had a problem with the door ajar light. Fortunately, it was a warranty item.
Next problem was the electronic throttle control which was not only a common problem in the Edge but the Escape and Explorer as well since they used the same part. This should’ve been a recall issue but Ford likes to screw its owners. Fortunately again, still under warranty when it occurred.
Let's Not Forget how Ford (and others too) mask these TSB's as Customer Satisfaction Programs. Currently one out on 1st Gen Ford Edges for Brake Booster that goes out and you lose brake power. Also problem with ABS Brake Hydraulic & Control Module where it bypasses fluid and you Lose Brakes. Good Luck to All...
I have a 2010 edge limited. It is great!
+Michael Allums Thanks for the feedback!
Researched the hell out of this vehicle and settled for the 2010 Ford Edge. Bought mine used and loved it. Most reliable of all the years including the 2014 years according to consumer reports data, history and customer satisfaction.
Gracias por el Top5 Ford Edge.
Adoro sus lineas y la marca, aun asi astoy tentado a comprar una Ford.
Muchas gracias a está dama que Dios la bendija
Ugh I just got a 2010 Ford Edge. They had to fix the gas gauge before they gave it to me, 5 days after getting it it ran out of gas again even though it said it was half full. These comments make me feel better though!
I have a 11’edge and giving me transmission troubles.When cold she has to wait until warm up some before it will move in drive.Also we have to reset with a obd to keep it shifting at times.
I figured out a way to change the oil percentage in my 2011 Edge SEL. It's in one of the settings menu. I'll have to look for it when I get in there next time because I can't remember off the top of my head
Jumped time at 29k and needed engine rebuild. Mechanic said it was a "known issue" but no recall of course. Thanks Ford.
What year did u have?
Not covered here but two problems I've had with my 2013 Limited. 1) Backup camera will randomly not work when shifting into reverse, 2) The display on on MySyc will randomly go dark to its lowest brightness setting. If I open the driver side door while the engine is on, sometimes it will come back on. Otherwise I have to go into settings and reset the brightness level. This can be difficult because it is hard to see the screen to get to settings menu.
How do you take care of the camara thing? mine is not working right
Mines works when it wants to. How do you reset or fix it?
@@janmay2516 some say it comes loose try finging the plug and seeing if u can mess with it and plug it back in
Ours turns upside-down randomly.
Wow you're good! Nailed it! One more problem I have is the glovebox latch broke on me while closed. Latch came off and I can't reattach or open. Help!
There are other problems:
- PTU (Power Transfer Unit), which is the transfer case from the gear box to rear differential in AWD models. It works hot, placed in between exhausts, and holds 12 oz of fluid only. When I replaced the fluid, it was black as ink, and stank like hell. When it fails it would cost like $3500 to replace.
See the videos by FordTeckMakuloco.
I just had mine replaced, and was told it has “lifetime fluid” and was sealed and couldn’t be fixed but replaced. It was leaking black sticky oil. I had it replaced with a used part and am planning to sell it ASAP. Just had the brakes done ($1000) and now there seems to be an issue with the ABS. So done with this car. Thank goodness I bought an extended warranty but of course it expired before the PTU gave out.
@@pieterjongbloed904 why would a brake job cost so much on this car? My Range Rover doesn't even cost that much to repair.

My mom has a 2010 Ford Edge. The water pump went out and it cost a fortune to fix. Because the water pump is internal they have to remove the engine to get to the water pump. Also the timing chain is around the pump so they will probably go on and change that timing chain while the engine is out. And then the catalytic converter went out and had to have replaced. That was last year and now her SUV is missing or slipping. But I was told once a catalytic converter has already been fixed or worked on u will soon have to fix the other one or work on the one that was fixed. She is the only owner of the vehicle, and is very good at the up keep of it. But just thought I would put this out there if someone else has the same issue they will know it's very costly personally I would get rid of it it's way too expensive for me to pay for.
Thank you.
+Ross Bowman Thanks for checking us out. 1AAuto.com
Such a helpful channel!
I’d say the number one is water pump fail and when it fails the water goes into the crank case because the pump is inside motor not on the outside. Not a joy to fix 12 hours plus and that’s if you catch it before it destroys your motor. Mine happened on my 2007
The auto self-destruct feature(the internal timing chain driven water pump on the 3.7). Same engine Mazda CX-9 used. Several thousand to repair. True story.

Change the coolant and the engine oil regularly and you won’t have issues with the water pump, there’s a video that Mac T Ford edge did where he explains why water pumps fail
@@Jantonvid "Mac T Ford edge" also had his water pump break down on him. It's a design issue, you might be lucky and it might not ever be an issue while you own the car or at all but it happens. Of course be diligent with your maintenance but do not think that gives you any kind of guarantee the car won't eventually leave you stranded.
man i was in awe at 4runner prices... started looking to other directions... i think i'm going to stay away from edge... sounds like a lot of difficult to diagnose and repair problems.... Phew... almost bought another ford after leaving ford....
Hey Guys, have a question…which way is the air flow on a 2014 Ford Edge cabin filter? Up towards the roof, or down towards the floor? Thanks!
Have you ever tested whether it's really worth it to purchase a Dooxi Car Adaptation products?
Thank you great video.
She is always the best host
I have a 2012 front wheel drive and have a leaking front driver side axle seal. Had the axle and seal both replaced and continues to leak. Any suggestions!
You didn’t mention the most common and expensive problems... cooling fan module goes bad... you have to replace the whole assembly with a genuine oem ford cooling fan assembly or it won’t work.. $300-$400 and very common.. water pump also is very common and costs about $1500 and that’s a cheap quote
200 dollar fan assembly and 9 minutes to change the fans. Water pump change is expensive. However I have accumulated 700,000 miles on 3 Ford Edges with two at or over 300,000 miles and still on the original water pump. Fluid maintenance is important.
One of the best on the road i have 120k on a 2010 limited runs like a top
That’s the best year of Edge to have. I have a 10 with 250,000 miles, never a issue.
Thanks so much for this video. I am considering purchasing a 2012 Ford Edge V6 with 170,000.
+Jayke Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
Plan on getting a 2011 Ford Edge SEL 129 000 AWD this week let me know how it works out
The water pump in that V6 is going to blow at any time. I've heard 180-200k is when they like to go. Super expensive to fix and that's IF you manage to catch it right away. If it fails while you're driving around it will ruin your engine by dumping coolant into the oil and you won't even know until it's too late.
@@nodak81 this is wrong. It only dumps coolant into the oil if the bearing fails (not very common). That is usually caused by lack of maintenance. Also the water pump got an updated design in 2011 to fix that issue. If the water pump starts to fail it will leak coolant externally through a weep hole and you will see coolant on the ground. That means it’s time to be replaced.
i have a 2011 edge SEL and had to do the water pump myself. you do need to be a mechanic to do this as it envoles removing the front of the engine covers both valve covers, the passenger side engine mount and having something to hold the engine with and youll have to also redo the timing after you get the chain off. big pain in the ass but i also love the car and its my wifes sooooo theres that.
2008 Edge Limited. What do I do to fix a Data Compass Error message. That will not take a calibration? And another issue with 6 disc CD player that powers up with key off and with opening doors or turning ignition key on? It has 142K on it. Cluster unit 650$.
My low oil pressure light has come on 3 times and the check engine light. But then they both go away. Its throwing an o2 sensor code running rich. But also my battery has died twice. Could the battery be causing the check engine light and low oil pressure lights to come on. It also idles rough at redlight or when slowing down at redlights and that when it will say low oil pressure and the car shuts off. The drivers side back door has been saying its ajar when it isnt and causing my dome lights to stay on for a few min after i lock the doors, or until i get up to around 15 mph then will go off.
How come you guys didn't mention a problem with PTU (transfer case) on AWD. It's a major problem that cost a lot of money, but it can actually be avoided. By the way great video content! Thanks!
+lega78 Thanks for the feedback!
Currently dealing with this issue now for my 2013 limited AWD 😞
How can it be avoided?
Also has PTU leak issues and problems!
Oil life reset is as follows. Same menu left side steering wheel. Settings-then right to adjust-vehicle-scroll down to Oil life reset-hold button in for time it shows
Don't forget issue with ABS model valve getting stuck causing a very soft (but working) brake pedal..... initial fix is to jam on brakes on a gravel road going forward and backward at 15-20 mph 5 or 6 times after the ABS activates it should free the stuck valve restoring normal brake pedal firmness.....
Not my ideas but it did work for me
Now this would'a been nice to know before I replaced mine!!!!!! Although I did replace with a unit off ebay from a wrecked vehicle and the fordscan program.
I got a 1500lb. sound system in the trunk of my 2014 edge for 5 years now only issue I've had is my aftermarket alternator
Looked on 1A auto for Low Frequency Brake Dampener. No luck for a 2010 Ford Edge. Brakes making a "frog" noise for want of a better term. Any suggestions?
2011 Edge AWD here. 134k miles. So far, so good. No major problems but the rear cam did go out. Inverse image and loss of caution lines. Replaced with a Dorman and image is fine but no lines. Even flashed the PCM with FORSCAN but no joy. Oh well, at least I have a color backup cam. No mention of PTO/PTU heating problem. Trick is to have the fluid changed every 50k even tho Ford says its a lifetime fluid unit. BS. Find a local shop that will do it. Also, if you want your water pump not to fail do REGULAR coolant changes. Coolant contains lubrication that the WP needs. Got 213k out of my '98 Explorer and sold still running in good shape by doing REGULAR maintenance. Don't extend intervals.
Thanks that’s good information
You can absolutely reset the oil life percentage back to 100%, on some Fords there are increments of oil life you can reset it to in the settings menu. Some with KEY ON ENGINE OFF!!! hold the brake and accelerator pedals down
I appreciate the video and concise clear explanations. We have a 2010 Edge that has been nothing but reliable for us. Our first one was a used 2007, and we decided to get a brand new one at the time, we liked it so much. In the meantime, we have imported the vehicle to Canada from the US. The one item we have a little trouble with is DRL. In Illinois, where we originally purchased the vehicle, DRL is not required. This older model does not have the digital dash that provides the means of activating DRL, or deactivating as desired. Where we live now, DRL is required for the biannual safety inspection. Long story short; do you have any advice on a good "fix" for DRL on a 2010 Ford Edge Limited? I would love to hear your thoughts on this. Thank you!
+@TheMrPastry Thanks for the feedback!
What about the water pump ?
I'm having trouble finding information about why the oil pressure light illuminates after coming to a stop for red lights, etc. and sitting at idle, 2011 Edge.
Fresh oil change recently, verified the oil level, no engine noise.
The closest I've come to finding a video with information was some MacT guy but his video was specific to 2011 Edge vehicles with the engine off, key switch on.
Can you help?
Thanks!
oil sending unit and you must not have done a search in the facebook macfordedge group. All the information you want to know about your edge plus!
Just wait til those transmission sensors go

2007-2010 is the first generation. the 2011-2014 is the 1.5 refresh. Also note these are not the top five issues. Maybe on this Edge but overall these are not the top 5. The 2007-2010 have a different set up as far as purge valves much different and less failure prone than the 2011-2014 purge valve. Top five for the 2007-2010. Transmission TSS and OSS sensors, Water pump, Wheel bearings, Strut bearing mounts, and PTU. 2011-2014 have different top five issues.
Right. Details matter. How could they not know 2011 (which I used to own), was #2? I hear you about 1.5 but I feel the MyFord Touch alone makes it a full "2".
@@AmsInTheMitten Platform change occurred in 2015 making it a 2.0 redesign. The 2011-2014 was still the same platform and engine set up except for the addition of the 2.0 Ecoboost and 6F35 transmission pairing.

Hi MACTFORDEDGE, thanks for the comment, understood the generation count. What’s the most favorite issues with 2011-2014?
1A Auto makes these videos in order to sell parts #1 and as a public service #2. They want to sell purge valves, solenoids & door latches...parts that they carry. Are they evil? No, but going to the trouble of producing a video they want to get some benefit out of it.
