2012 Ford Edge SEL with 3.5L V6 FWD-Long Term Report

Technically I've owned this vehicle for 13 years, since I purchased it new in Nov of 2011, as a 2012 model year.

I have been very happy with this Edge for all those years.

She currently has 103,000 miles on her.  Just had a safety inspection performed, along with oil change and tire rotation and air filter/cabin filter.

Master Mechanic states nothing wrong with the chassis or suspension or steering or engine or transmission or brakes or electrical system.

I've had one brake job, one set of tires, one battery, one spark plug change. one throttle body cleaning, one transmission oil change, one engine coolant change, new belts and idler pulley.  I consider this as normal maintenance, as is the case with all ICE vehicles.  A/C has not been serviced, and still blows cold.

I did have a issue with the brake pedal going to the floor with loss of braking effort at around 60K miles.  The dealership had the car for 5 weeks trying to figure out what was wrong.  The Ford Dealership wound up changing the brake booster, master cylinder, ABS unit, ABS computer, and fluid twice.  It was a $1600 bill, and I never really got a good answer as to what was wrong.  The only other repair was a fuel filler tube (no traditional gas cap) replacement.  The brake issue is the only major glitch we have had with the Edge.

The body is solid, no rust or corrosion.  Paint still shines like new.  Interior and carpeting is in excellent condition.

 

I still like my Edge, and I would buy another, but alas, this vehicle has been discontinued after 2024 MY.

 

I've owned lots of Fords over the last 55 years, and this has been one of my favorite ones!
