2018 Ford Edge consumer reviews

I have a 2018 Ford Edge 2.0L Ecoboost with approximately 68,000 miles on it. While driving the vehicle on June 12, 2023, the check engine light began to come on and off intermittently. During this time, the vehicle began to heavily shake and began to involuntarily jerk as though it was having issues moving forward. I took the vehicle straight to a Firestone where they ran diagnostic tests for 2 days. They tried replacing spark plugs but said that is not the issue. They recommended taking the vehicle to a dealership. An appointment was made and the car dropped off at a Ford dealership on June 21,2023. After running more tests, the dealership is stating that there is a manufacturing defect with the engine block which has caused coolant leakage into the engine, damaging the engine so extensively that it needs to be replaced. I was quoted around $8,000 for repairs. I have an extended warranty with a 3rd party company who is denying my claim due to the issue being a manufacturing issue. I have done research and found this to be a common issue with this year make and model and that the issue could cause a fire or catastrophic failure. This should be a recall as people can be severely hurt in the event of fire or catastrophic failure. And most people do not have nearly $10,000 to spend to replace an issue that is common and well known at this point. I have been without a vehicle for over 2 weeks now and have no idea if or how this vehicle will be repaired.

Best vehicle I’ve ever owned. Smooth ride and eco boost engine makes it easy to get on highways and around slower traffic. Feels like 60 when you’re going 80. Comfortable and stylish.

Just like other reviews a little over 60k miles, car started smoking on me and needs new engine, what a poc! Now I replaced the engine and my mechanic is telling me that the motor is failing too

I made the mistake of purchasing a 2018 Ford Edge SEL with the 2.0 Eco Boost Turbo. The car had 28,000 miles and ran fine until it didn’t. At 62,000 miles it shuttered pretty bad. Took it into my very trustworthy local mechanic I’ve used for years and learned I need a complete engine replacement!! Perfect. The term “Planned obsolescence” creeped into my mind right away. 2,000 miles past the 5 year / 60,000 mile mfr’s warranty. Bitter pill. My mechanic told me the engine sounded like a baby’s rattle. $7,000 to replace it with a Jasper engine. His advice to me was sell it bc this engine was not designed to handle the turbo Ford attached to the 2018-2020 models. He told me his supplier in St. Louis, MO had 150 of these engines in stock and selling them like hot cakes. I sold the car before I put 10,000 miles on it. Ford is ignoring they have a problem. There isn’t a recall for this either. I was told it has to be a safety situation for a car mfr to issue a recall. Hello? Catastrophic engine failure isn’t a potential safety issue? The plain fact is it’s just too expensive for them to replace how ever many thousands of Edge engines are failing. I’ve read that there are many of these engines are failing due to coolant leaking into the engines. My mechanic never said this was the problem with my engine although I’m not discounting it as a possibility. I did enroll in a class action lawsuit since I felt like I should do SOMETHING. It’ll be nickels if I see anything from that. Lawyers will make bank but the people that have actually been harmed will see very little. Buyer beware I guess!

Bought 2018 Ford Edge Sport. I've had it for a little over a year and I've had nothing but problems. Constantly at the Ford Dealer for something. Can't wait to get rid of it!

My 2018 Ford edge is 4 years old with 85000 miles on it. I have had engine replaced. After replacement of engine, and 500 miles later sensors went off in car. I took it to the dealership and they are saying it could be wheel bearing to wheel sensors. The windshield wiper control switch is also failing. Stay away from this vehicle it will only fail you.

The SPORT with the 2.7L 6 cylinder engine is a really, good suv for the money - NOT the lower trim versions, particularly with the 2.0L 4 cylinder. Those are rental fleet appliances. The SPORT, however, is properly quick. Handling is acceptable considering it sits on a front wheel drive chassis that does awd as a side hustle. The interior design is ok and can be had with a lot of premium features like hands-free parking, adaptive cruise, remote start and a huge sunroof. But it's all about that 2.7L V6 engine.

Steer clear of the 2018 Ford Edge! It will have disappearing coolant and require a $8000 motor replacement. From nearly day one off the lot, the rear taillights have had condensation from a leak that the dealer never would recognize. This vehicle will not last past 100,000 miles and is not worth buying.

Beware, every 2015-2018 Ford Edge with the 2.0 Ecoboost is susceptible to coolant intrusion in the cylinders due to an engineering design flaw in the cylinder wall. This failure can happen at any time and if it does the entire engine will have to be replaced. If the car is past its initial 5yr/60k mile warranty, you will have to pay upwards of $7,000 to get this done. The second the coolant level drops it's all over. Besides that it is a fine car, rides nice and is comfortable. I could just never enjoy owning it with this constantly at the back of my mind. As these start to pop up used with higher miles, pay close attention to the coolant on the 2.0's, though some dealers will top it off so that you don't notice the car needs an engine. If the one you are looking at has a record of getting its engine replaced, it is probably alright as they rarely fail twice. If it never has though, there was probably a reason it got traded.

All 2015-2018 ford edges with the 2.0 Ecoboost are susceptible to coolant intrusion in the cylinders. This can happen at anytime completely randomly and requires a full replacement of the engine. If the car is past its 5yr/60,000k mile warranty, you will have to pay upwards of 6 grand to replace the engine. If the one you are shopping for has a record of getting the engine replaced, it should be fine, they rarely fail twice. But if it doesn’t have any records, steer clear. Many dealers will just fill the coolant up and say they never knew the car was drinking it.
