With my 2007 edge I'm having an issue with the power steering system. It is just sluggish when making ultra low speed turns, like into a parking stall for example. Nothinig wrong with the system, fluid is up and no leaks at all. Could be a steering pump on its last legs I guess. Just was wondering if anyone recently has been having this same problem or knows a solution, or if it's just the way it is. I replied to topic I found recently but it was dated 2009 so not that current. Just wanting to get a fresh one out there and see if anyone has any answers. Thanks

Wow old thread but this is my first post. I have noticed the same problem with mine too. Bought mine in October second hand. Sluggish at an idle to turn into a parking spot, if the motor is reved up a little it's easier. PS fluid is topped up, no leaks in the system, tire pressure at specified range too. Wondering if it COULD be tire compound. Maybe a softer tire takes more to turn? Unsure. I'm going to try running some additive in the power steering fluid. Used to be called Bi-tron, not sure if they still produce it but I have some still. It did wonders on my 91 mustang. That era of Ford had whiny power steering pumps, took the noise right away. Maybe it will help lube up the system with this.
