Engine

2.0L EcoBoost I4

• Coolant Intrusion into Cylinders
  • Description/Symptoms: Coolant leaking into the cylinders, leading to white smoke from the exhaust, rough running, and eventually engine failure. This is often due to a cracked cylinder head or block.
  • Solution: Replacement of the engine, as the damage is often too extensive to repair.
  • Estimated Cost to Fix: $5,000 - $8,000+
  • Recalls: None Found
• Turbocharger Failure
  • Description/Symptoms: Loss of power, whistling noises from the engine bay, and potentially check engine light illumination. This can be due to oil starvation or bearing failure within the turbocharger.
  • Solution: Turbocharger replacement.
  • Estimated Cost to Fix: $1,500 - $2,500
  • Recalls: None Found

3.5L V6

• Water Pump Failure (Internal)
  • Description/Symptoms: Overheating, coolant leaks, and potential engine damage. The water pump is located internally, making replacement labor intensive.
  • Solution: Water pump replacement, which often requires significant disassembly of the engine.
  • Estimated Cost to Fix: $1,000 - $2,000+
  • Recalls: None Found

2.7L EcoBoost V6

Transmission

6-Speed Automatic (All Engines)

• Harsh Shifting/Hesitation
  • Description/Symptoms: Rough or delayed shifts between gears, especially when cold. May be accompanied by a “thunking” noise.
  • Solution: Transmission fluid flush and filter change. If the problem persists, valve body replacement or transmission rebuild/replacement may be necessary.
  • Estimated Cost to Fix: $200 (fluid flush) - $3,000+ (transmission replacement)
  • Recalls: None Found

Suspension

• Rear Suspension Noise
  • Description/Symptoms: Clunking or squeaking noises from the rear suspension, especially when going over bumps. Can be caused by worn stabilizer bar links or bushings.

  • Solution: Software updates. If software updates fail, replacement of the APIM (Accessory Protocol Interface Module).
  • Estimated Cost to Fix: $100 - $1000+
  • Recalls: None Found
• Power Liftgate Malfunction
  • Description/Symptoms: Power liftgate not opening or closing properly, or making unusual noises. This can be due to a faulty liftgate motor, struts, or sensors.

Summary

The 2015 Ford Edge has a few common issues. The most severe issues are related to engine problems, particularly coolant intrusion in the 2.0L EcoBoost and potential internal water pump failure in the 3.5L V6, which can lead to costly repairs or engine replacement. Electrical issues with the MyFord Touch system can also be frustrating. While other problems such as suspension noises and power liftgate malfunctions are less severe, they can still require repairs. The overall cost of ownership can be increased due to the potential for these repairs.
