Ford Edge models, especially those with the 8-speed automatic transmission, can suffer from various transmission problems. These problems often occur between 50,000 and 120,000 km. Symptoms include hesitation when accelerating, especially at low speeds, as well as jerking and shuddering of the transmission. In some cases, the transmission can fail completely, resulting in a loss of driveability.
To solve these problems, it is often necessary to replace the VCT (Variable Cam Timing) solenoid, as small debris can jam the solenoid. A software update of the transmission control unit can also help. It is important to change the transmission fluid and filters according to the manufacturer's recommendations to prolong the life of the transmission.

The EcoBoost engines in the Ford Edge can have turbocharger issues, which usually occur between 60,000 and 100,000 km. Symptoms include a loss of power and increased oil consumption. In some cases, the turbocharger can fail completely, resulting in a significant loss of power.
Regular oil changes and the use of high-quality oils can help to extend the life of the turbocharger. If a defect occurs, the turbocharger usually needs to be replaced. It is also advisable to check the turbocharger's oil supply lines and drain pipes and replace them if necessary to prevent oil leaks.
The defective brake booster is a common problem in Ford Edge models from 2007 to 2015. This problem often occurs between 50,000 and 100,000 km and can be caused by changes in driving conditions that lead to a crack in the diaphragm of the brake booster. This can cause an abnormal hissing sound when applying the brake and negatively affect braking performance.
To solve this problem, the defective brake booster must be replaced. It is important to regularly check the brake system to detect early signs of failure. Regular maintenance can help extend the life of the brake components.
The infotainment system in the Ford Edge can suffer from various errors that occur early on, often within the first 30,000 km. Symptoms include a black display, system freezing, reversing camera malfunction and Bluetooth connection problems.
To solve these problems, regular software updates of the infotainment system can help. Restarting the system or resetting to factory settings can help with crashes. In some cases, repair or replacement of hardware components may be necessary. It is also advisable to delete all paired devices and re-pair them to fix connectivity issues.
The timing chain on Ford Edge models can stretch, which can cause a rattling noise when the engine is cold. This complication often occurs between 100,000 and 150,000 km. In rare cases, the chain can also skip, which can cause serious engine damage.
Preventive replacement of the timing chain and tensioner system at around 100,000 km can avoid expensive consequential damage. Regular oil changes are also important to extend the service life of engine components.
The air conditioning system in the Ford Edge can experience problems, especially after about 120,000 km. Symptoms include blowing hot air or not working in warm weather conditions. These problems can be caused by overheating of the radiator and the timing belt drive.
To solve these problems, the radiator and timing belt drive must be replaced. It is also advisable to regularly check the air conditioning system and have it serviced if necessary to detect early signs of failure.
Some Ford Edge models, especially those with the towing package, may experience problems with the tailgate and trailer module. The parking light may remain on when the vehicle is switched off and the trailer is connected, draining the battery. This problem occurs frequently and requires a software update of the trailer module (TRM) by a Ford dealer.
To resolve this issue, the vehicle must be taken to a Ford dealer to perform the software update. It is important to regularly inspect the tailgate and trailer module to check for early signs of failure.
