![]() ![]() ![]() "Only vehicle out of twenty-four, that I've owned during the past two decades which I've needed to replace on separate occasions, two worn-out front wheel bearings. "loose tire pressure sensor inside tire caused vibration in steering wheel" Brought in to mechanic and entire system needed replacement." "Sway links broken, most likely due to pot holes" Steering linkage (includes rack and pinion) The front shocks were just replaced (no leakage, but some sound and bumpy issues)" We had them replaced (leakage), then had them redone (leakage) about 6-12 months afterwards. "The issue we had was mostly related to high mileage - but the rear shocks went out twice in the last year and a half. "Leaked and needed replacement after 42K miles" This was a substantial repair and per the dealer required us to stop driving to avoid further damaging the vehicle." "My wife hit a pothole or an unadjusted manhole cover and broke the right front strut. "General mileage and use of the vehicle on rough and bumpy roads in the northeast meant it was time to replace shocks and struts" It has not been repaired as yet as I refilled the cylinder with fluid which says will stop the leak. "The steering system made grinding sound and grinding feel. The replacement hose has a piece of rubber inside the clip and therefore doesn't cut into the rubber hose. "My mechanic said that there is a metal clip that cuts into the power steering hose. "minor leaks or seepage at the reservoir or at the pump connection" "The one power steering hose rusted through and created a significant leak." "Tubing for the power steering system developed rust causing a loss of fluid. "I had a leak and need to get a new power steering pump." "When a first applying brakes heat a grinding sound" "There is a louder grinding sound when I first back it out of my garage." "A loud noise, but we could not determine where it was. I think the only thing left is to replace the calipers." "We had the rotors and pads replaced a couple of times but we can't get rid of the squealing when we back up. "pulsing after a very short period of time" "First time in 67,000 miles that I needed brake work" "Pitted from low millage and had to replace front and back. Then they developed a shimmering when brakes were applied. "The brakes started making a rasping sound early on. Problems with noises required changes with back replacement brakes with less than 30% wear" "replacement parts installed did not match quality of OEM parts" "A consistent problem of about once a year since purchase" "Low break pedal, had break system flushed, solved problem which was probably air" "At 107,000 miles had rear rotors turned and pads replaced. "The brakes just gradually wore down and were replaced at my dealer's shop." I decided I wanted the brake service at 90000 miles." They stopped selling the ring so you have to buy the whole axle to repair it!" "Cracked ABS ring on axle causes braking pulsation. "Answer related to prior answer, likely air in brake line" The most recent was when the front axle teeth, which the sensor read, were broken so the front axle needed to be replaced. Edge is EPA-rated at 18/25 mpg City/Highway with front-wheel drive, and 17/23 mpg with all-wheel drive."The ABS light has come on twice in the past four years, first time was a simple sensor replacement. Most significant are engine improvements resulting in fuel economy gains of one to two miles per gallon. And we think it'll satisfy buyers moving from a sedan who will find they haven't given up much in the way of comfort, convenience and driving dynamics.Įdge was introduced as a 2007 model. We think it'll please buyers coming from SUVs who want a rugged look with room for the family and assorted stuff. The Edge has a contemporary look we find appealing. It drives well, with good performance from a modern V6 engine mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. We found the Edge roomy and comfortable with fully foldable seats for carrying larger cargo. All of these vehicles are larger than they look, a result of their slippery styling. Considered a midsize crossover utility vehicle, the Edge competes with the Nissan Murano and Toyota Highlander. In fact, the back seats in the Edge are roomier than those in the Explorer, a benefit of its design. Yet it gives up nothing in passenger and cargo space. Benefiting from an available all-wheel drive and a fully independent suspension, the Edge is easier to control than a truck-based SUV in the snow or on wet, slippery roads. It offers similar advantages over other traditional SUVs. It's about 500 pounds lighter than an Explorer and enjoys an edge of three to four miles per gallon in fuel economy. ![]() The Edge handles better than traditional SUVs while offering almost as much cargo space. The Ford Edge is a midsize crossover sport utility that offers better fuel economy and road manners than similarly sized truck-based SUVs such as the Ford Explorer. ![]()
