Dean Caudle Posted April 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 Well clearly jinxed myself as I got rear-ended in rush hour traffic. Almost $4,000 of damage (so far). Fortunately the other guy had insurance so not costing me but will be without my Edge for a little over 2 weeks. Just passed 48,000 miles. Hope there are no lingering issues. I took it to the Ford Dealer I bought it from and they have their own body shop to make sure it got the best care possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macbwt Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 That is almost the amount it cost me when I deer hunt with my Orange Crush. Hope you are alright!!

Dean Caudle Posted April 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 Yeah I'm fine, fortunately I did not know I was about to be hit so I didn't tense up at impact, I think that helps a lot. never bothered me a bit physically. Now the Edge on the other hand..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
javadud Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 I have a 2008 Edge with 140,000 miles. Rear wheel bearings went bad around 55,000. They said it was a design flaw and I got everything rebuilt under warranty. No other trouble. Would like to buy a mustang next year and keep the Edge for the winter time. Hoping to get 250,000 miles out of it. Do you think I am insane to hope for that many miles? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 Considering we already have a 2008 Edge staring down 300,000 miles, I'd say you are insanely sane! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macbwt Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 Nope no chance on the Edge making it to 250,000 miles unless it is an Orange Crush Edge. Then it will go forever!!!

Dean Caudle Posted May 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 Got my Edge out of the body shop good as new. Even better actually as a scratched rear bumper is now a new bumper 49,000 miles on it's way to 200,000 hopefully. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sisaacs918 Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 I bought my 2011 Limited FWD about a year ago with ~80k on it from the previous single owner, and just passed 110,000 miles. Just regular maintenance and a few preventative repairs, and it still drives like a dream! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sisaacs918 Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 110k is doing great. What preventative "repairs" did you do? At around 90k I replaced the CV axle housing for my front wheel drive-- it had torn or worn off causing the metal components to wear against each other. My favorite Firestone replaced them for me, and now it's as good as new! Then around 105k I replaced the spark plugs, because I heard that's about when they wear out. Just things like that. I guess I consider them repairs over maintenance because they were a little more involved than oil changes. I've owned three Fords in my life-- a '93 Bronco, a '10 Focus, and now my '11 Edge, and all of them have taken good care of me as long as I take good care of them. I'm definitely a Ford man for life (plus the occasional Harley)! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
