Top 5 Problems Ford Edge SUV First Generation 2007-14

[@lennygerard1609]

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

[@edwardx4979]

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!

[@doowoppapa]

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

[@chelsea7xhf]

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 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.

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 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.

I know this is an older post, but I have a Lincoln 2013 MKX (Same as Edge) and I have had the Evap issue and the brake boost issue. Nothing else has gone wrong. Wonderful SUV great drive and power. I perform regular maintenance at the Dealer and always use full synthetic oil, it's more expensive but worth it. Don't forget to change the PS fluid, transmission, and coolant. All the fluids are important. I do the oil every 5K and the other fluids every 25K. Currently have 96K on it. Goal to reach 200K. Great SUV to have...

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.

[@bkucinschi]

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.

[@pieterjongbloed904]

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.

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.

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.

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.

[@toddc4677]

In the V-6 models, the number one issue is the faulty water pump design. It can not be replaced by the average person and it is a $3k repair due to its internal location. These are very prone to failure .

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...

[@kristigritton1474]

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.

[@nodak81]

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.

[@michaelchristopher8266]

@@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.

[@davidkanoff110]

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.

[@mark902]

[@mississippimotorsports3286]

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

[@MACTFordEdge]

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.

[@MA-jx6in]

How about the internal water pump anyone know that these model have that when it goes it just trashes the motor

[@agger838]

Yeah, run far away once powertrain warranty runs out. It's a known issue. On transversely mounted applications the 3.5L/3.7L Duratec engines have the water pump inside of the timing cover, the water pump is driven off of the timing chain. What happens is that the water pump fails, and dumps coolant into the oil pan, this ruins the main bearings in very little time. In the worst case scenario the water pump seizes and the engine jumps time, and valves get chewed up. But generally the water pump failure alone will do the engine in anyway.

[@MACTFordEdge]

2007-2010 have a single thin and single sprocket driven water pump. 2011-214 have double width chain with double sprocket. I drove my 2008 Edge 3.5 to 285,000 miles and the original water pump. My current 2011 Ford Edge 3.5 is now at 303,000 miles with the original water pump. Coolant change frequency and synthetic oil changes are key. I have accumulated over 700,000 miles of combined mileage on 3 Ford Edge 3.5 duratecs. Maintain the fluids and they run forever.

[@pelotas56]

Water pump is indeed a weak point on this engine. But beside that it's a bullet proof engine with good maintenance and care. My flex pushing 195k original water pump still pumping. For sure a water pump replacement is on my list this year, just for a peace of mind.

[@hopalongjohnny9797]

If its the same engine as the ecoboost trucks i wouldn't take the coyote instead. That being said a water pump change on a truck would be much easier

[@larryacosta3465]

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.

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

[@justinbuford8539]

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.

[@catsanctuary17]

Jumped time at 29k and needed engine rebuild. Mechanic said it was a "known issue" but no recall of course. Thanks Ford.

[@AimieNeish]

What year did u have?

[@TheBandiscool2]

How common is the backup camera failing?

[@jony9959]

Bought mine with a camera that would go off & on, and paid $650 for a new one 🙄

[@BryceBurgeson]

Jennifer Walsdorf Mine did lol 2013 edge. Had it fixed. They are bad for back up cams.

[@sassiijaneen1206]

Yessss

[@TheCRYSTALLURE]

Bryce Burgeson Damn I have a 2013 rn. And the camera just went out a few months ago. I just left it alone. Because I thought about fixing it on my own but I’m not sure anymore.

[@jamest3552]

Backup cam has been bad on my 2011 for awhile. Ordered a replacement for $170, hopefully it is reliable. I've read that the backup assistance lines may not work, we'll see. 🤞

[@TheJason13]

The oil light settings are in SETTINGS (or should be). I've worked on many a Ford and my wife has one.

[@mikemoore825]

I have a 2010 edge bought it in 2014 had 30 thousand miles on it so far no problems. I didn’t have the code to unlock the door on the keypad, Ford dealer told me it would cost 50 dollars for them to scan it to get the code but I opened the fuse box and there’s a little card there with the code on it, that’s probably what the dealer would have done

[@1AAuto]

+Mike Moore Thanks for checking us out! 1AAuto.com

[@dw924]

We had the same issue when g/f bought hers. Found the tip regarding fuse box somewhere in the manual, I believe.

[@steelmusic2]

The only problem my edge ever gave me was that the tire sensor warning keeps turning on. Don’t know what to do, but that’s it!

[@quintongraham5432]

im thinking about buying a 2007 one with 92,000 miles on it and i test drove it and i heard the shocks in the back messing up and they are going to replace them also it was water dripping from under it and they said it was from the ac but it was a decent amount of water. I looked under the hood and it had some rust on the parts but the vehicle drove good. Im no mechanic but should i be worried about this

[@fireonhigh2294]

Yes. Run!!! I have a Flex with the same engine. The water pump is inside the engine driven by the timing chain. You should be able to see if water or coolant is leaking by the alternator. Also check the oil for coolant.

[@williamchaplick4227]

@@fireonhigh2294 nothing wrong with little milk shake 😋

[@patrick1564]

Transfer case goes on these I’ve had to replace also the AC has issues there’s a couple more main ones if you look into it but the top one is that gear box

[@curbyourjingoism]

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

[@manlyj]

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

[@jotieangbenia4307]

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?

[@loud865]

Had to change the brake booster twice already within like 50k miles

[@melbanfield1]

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.

[@NathanKemp]

I had the door ajar issue. Disassembling the door panel to fix that issue was a nightmare.

[@michaelallums6534]

I have a 2010 edge limited. It is great!

[@1AAuto]

+Michael Allums Thanks for the feedback!

[@benjasamu6694]

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.

[@armandoromano7194]

VERY GOOD EXPLANATION IN ARGENTINA THERE ARE FEW WOMEN WHO KNOW ABOUT VEHICLES. AND ALSO A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN.

[@markmeador]

I had my door latch on the drivers side rear. I just bypassed the switch with a wire. That solved the door ajar and interior light staying on but the interior light wouldn’t come on when you opened the rear door. Ford should recall this thing because everyone of these Edges have these fail.

[@philiphapeshis1226]

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.

[@joshmccray2405]

On the oil life reset you can do that anytime not just when it's at 10%.go to settings and then to oil life reset.

Brake cleaner the hell out of the driver door latch then silicone spray the hell out of it. That fixed mine twice.

[@rubenzuno951]

I'll try that on my cadillac trunk because it keeps saying trunk open and is not so most likely the sensor is stuck thanks for the tip😉👍

Brake Clean? That stuff takes paint off.

U forgot the water pump that is inside the timing chain cover🤬

[@666dynomax]

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....

[@lega78]

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!

[@1AAuto]

+lega78 Thanks for the feedback!

[@sagenosnibor9173]

Currently dealing with this issue now for my 2013 limited AWD 😞

How can it be avoided?

I have a schedule to drive test one a 2013 edge, any advice and what to look/check for?

[@contactpq]

I just bought a used 2007 Edge with 136k ... bad pressure power steering line ... are these lines a regular issue with the Ford Edge?

[@HiddenCreekHomestead]

Yes they rot out. Mine gave way on me on the Highway, 40 miles from home at 11pm. That was a fun ride

[@connorpayne2671]

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

[@ericac6054]

Im having issues with passenger door ajar switch sticking and leaving interior lights on....can i pull the interior light fuse to stop this problem....cant afford to fix the latches in every door?

[@LeeKobe1]

We have a 2015 Edge, with just over 100,000 miles, in which we just had to replace the engine. Main engine crank oil seal was pouring out oil. $6,000. I also have a 2014 Ford F150 that's had transmission problems since buying it new in 2015. We've taken meticulous care of both vehicles. We'll never buy another Ford.

[@redfalcon4469]

What about the water pump ?

[@poorboy3136]

I have a 2010 ford edge. With the ac on the passenger side only gets cold. The driver side is hot. I changed fuses, actuator door and even reset the computer. The filter is clean an the blower motor works fine. I made sure the actuator was working correctly and still only cold air on passenger side. I have manual controls for the ac. Can anyone help?

[@erict1144]

Blender actuator

[@pablito2164]

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!!

[@charliejohnson5978]

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.

[@ajiritrustanthony5716]

Do you advise a first time car owner to buy this car?

[@WilliamPatton-g4z]

My 2014 sport awd has a slight vibration at 55mph. New Michelins didn't fix it. Can't find answer on web

Yes had to replace the booster on my 2008! About to do the purge valve.

[@MattTaormina-y2k]

I have 150k on my 2007 Edge… so far a rack and pinion replacement, oil change every 5K one thing for sure is flush and replace coolant every 30 k minimum… that will help avoid a water pump issue… I’m changing the fluid in the PTU soon… you have to suck it out with a big syringe… no drain plug 😮 terrible design… but I love the car otherwise ❤
