Really Well Done - 2015 Edge SEL

Waited six or seven months to provide the review. First some thoughts: 1. Opt for the power liftgate. The liftgate is heavy. 2. This is a big car - bigger than it looks. Think about this and be prepared in your garage and when parking. This is our second Edge - we compared Highlander, Grand Cherokee, Audi Q3 & 5, Acura and a few other models. The Edge is premium priced, but we used TruCar as the starting point and then let the dealers fight among themselves so we think we got a good deal. Because of having other Ford products in the past, we researched the seats. We have learned that -- at least for the CUV/SUV -- you always avoid cloth seats if you want comfort and support. The light leather is bad for picking up dye from blue jeans, so we have instructed the dealership to clean them everytime we go in for service -- under warranty. We have had no rattles or squeaks - the only issue is that on an intermittent basis the brakes want to squeak - I can hear the echo when we are in a drive through. Audio is OK - I realize that for x thousand more we could have had far better audio, but we decided to set and hold to a budget and I'm OK with it. (Frustrating that I cannot insert paragraphs in this review - sorry about that - I know it makes it hard to read). Car drives well and is easily quick enough to go on the freeway - our old Edge had the V-6 - this one has the I-4 turbo and it's OK. We got the towing package and have pulled a lightweight trailer and more importantly - the bike rack!!! Car handles very well -- sometimes a little hard to park because it's hard to tell where the front end is. Backup camera is nicely done and evidently is a step above other cameras -- at least per our friends. We have the old MyFordTouch - I have NEVER hand any issues with this system - don't know why Consumer Reports has hated it so bad because it's pretty logical to me. If you have not owned a Ford product lately, be aware there is a large expanse of glass in front of you - but once you get used to that it makes the car feel a little more open. SEL version should have had memory seat for driver, not just power - also should have had power seat for passenger. Rear air vent into passenger compartment works well - also rear seats have some recline to them. When rear seats are folded down, they are NOT completely flat - just FYI. My mileage is good - we are not leadfoots, nor are we featherfoots - it did take a little while for the mileage to kick in - but we average about 26 around town and about 32 on the freeway at about 70 MPH. No rattles no squeaks -- overall I think Ford really did a nice job - and especially with the design. Yes, I would definitely purchase this car again.

Almost perfect

So I traded in a Focus Titanium for an Edge SEL with all of the extra options. I'll start off by saying I absolutely love the look, the ride quality is great, and the 2.0 has great power. I'll start out listing the pros; the hands free lift gate is a really nice feature to have and my wife loves the panoramic sun roof. The Edge drives really well and the base EcoBoost motor has plenty of pickup. The leather inside feels high quality and my wife and I have I issues with the seats as some other owners were saying. Now for some of the cons; the Edge has some noises inside. I have not yet gone to the dealership to ask them to fix the issues but the biggest one is the drivers side door has an air leak somewhere up by the drivers left ear. It's a squeak once you are driving a certain speed. Another noise inside the vehicle is the back seat. The bottom bench cushion has two clips that rattle non stop even when the vehicle is just idling and not moving. I luckily did not have the water leaking like some other owners but I have noticed the hood moves and shimmies sometimes while driving. The only other issue I am having is with a bubble in the drivers side door in the paint. Again, I have not gone back to the service department yet so I cannot comment on how quick ford will help with the issue. Overall I am pleased with the purchase and will be extatic if the issues get resolved through the dealer.

A nice upgrade

Traded in our 2012 ford escape for the new 2015 edge. We actually own a SEL 6 cyl. (But the review wouldn't give me the option). It's a responsive engine, Doesn't feel sluggish. We still aren't getting great MPG. But I suppose that'll come the more we break it in. Has a few blind spots, but that's to be expected with any vehicle... it's still easy to maneuver. Easy to see out of. I test drove the hyundai santa fe sport and it doesn't even come close to the edge! The edge feels more sturdy. I feel it'll last a long while! We have a 4 yr old and it's easy for her to get in and out of the vehicle, she has plenty of room in the back and she loves the cup holders that come down from the back middle seat. We unfortunately haven't taken it on a long drive that's over 2 hrs. But so far the front seats seem comfortable for both me and my husband. We are loving it! Love the close tailgate button.. very handy for me only being 5'3. My only concern is the material they used around the cupholders. It seems to scratch very easily. But other than that, we are very happy with our purchase and plan to keep it for years!!

Failure prone 4-cyl ecoboost engine

Google "Ford Edge coolant leak into cylinder" and by the time you enter "ford edge c" you will see results for the coolant leak problem with the ecoboost engine. I bought one of these pieces of junk and I got a check engine light when it was 3 years old. I brought it in to the dealer and they told me that coolant leaked into cylinder 1 and the engine was ruined. The regular warranty had expired by then but fortunately I had the extended warranty. The Ford dealer repaired the engine, replacing the long block which is pretty much the entire engine. Less than 2 years later, a few months after the extended warranty expired, the check engine light came on again. I brought it into Ford and it was the same problem, coolant leak into cylinder 1 and the engine was ruined AGAIN! This time they handed me a quote of $12,000 to fix the crappy engine and another $1000 to fix the unreliable tire pressure sensors. The ford dealer were completely unsympathetic and unapologetic even though they did the substandard engine repair less than 2 years earlier. Why did the engine fail so soon after the first repair? Did the replacement parts (long block) actually fix the poor design that caused so many coolant leaks into cylinders? Were the parts the same design that failed before and the "repair" just kicked the can down the road so that the next time the engine blew the warranty expired? The kicker is that I had a third-party extended warranty so I could have brought my ford Edge anywhere for the first engine repair. I could have brought it into a BBB-accredited engine shop with a 5-star rating and happy customer testimonials. That is where my ford is now - getting a used low-mileage engine installed. The $12,000 repair quote from ford is utterly outrageous. As if I will spend so much money to have the same people fix the car when they FAILED last time to repair it properly. I will never buy a ford again, I will never bring my repaired ford to the dealer again for maintenance, and I will never deal with West Coast Auto Group again. I hope that my repaired ford will last another 1.5 years until I retire and buy my nice retirement vehicle. Of course it will not be a ford or any brand sold by west coast auto group.

Great except for front seats

The new Edges is a great vehicle except for the plastic base of the front seats. Bolstering is good, but the plastic base sides prevent flexibility in the seat bottoms and prevent comfort on extended trips. Big miss for a great new design
