What is the Best year Ford Edge to buy used? And Common problems 

Nice 👍 Yes, I think more frequent oil changes and coolant drain and fills (with OEM fluid) may help extend the life of the water pump.

You're pushing it with that 10k interval. Better off doing it at 5k and its so easy you can do it yourself and save $$$.

@@micheallking8784 Nice 👍 Keep it forever 💯

I’m glad it helped 👍 Make sure the title is clean and also get it looked at by a mechanic before you buy any used car. You’re not looking for perfection, but you don’t want any major problems. Also, when I buy a used car I try to screen the previous owner. I made a video on how to do that. You may be able to check the maintenance history before you even go look at the vehicle. Check out this video, it can help a lot. Good luck 🍀 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uADJ-f39pvE.htmlsi=_vcMQd7iWFq2qUNk

Thanks bro 👍 Comments like that give me motivation to go forward 💯

Thank you ! That’s cool that you can tow so much with it 👍

Nice 👍

Interesting theory. You could be right 👍 Thanks for sharing this 💯

@@marionhall9641 New cars are so expensive - rehabbing an old one makes more sense than ever 👍

Thank you 👍

Yeap, they are great vehicles. Yours should have MANY more miles left ! 👍

Nice 👍

@@MJ100kthose are very low miles

Nice 👍 Does it have a gas cap? If so, I might start there….

Awesome 👍 Do you not have it anymore? What happened to it?

No problem 👍

@@deion5947 Thanks 👍 Sounds like a sweet ride. Glad you liked the video.

No problem 👍 For your heat issue, is your coolant level ok ? If so, it could be your heater core or maybe a stuck blend door….

Same. Pretty sure it’s the blend motor under the driver side dash. Gonna replace mine this week

Fords are really bad for that.@@RevelationThree20

I have a 2016 with 3.5L. Just over 60,000, having some issues with parking breaks?? Two lights and a bell keep going off.. And two separate messages to the left. Is this an expense repair???

@@TheRabidfox11 Depends on what you consider expensive 🤷‍♂️ I found a video with a 2017 that has a similar problem. In this video there was a problem with corrosion getting in the wiring harness near the rear brakes. In that case replacing the harness solved the problem. So probably a few hundred dollars. That doesn’t mean it will 100% be the same repair or price as your vehicle…. But- perhaps it will be. The only way to know for sure it’s to take it to a good technician and have them look at it. I hope that helps : ) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_MnF9RqgxfM.htmlsi=-mOOJfr8oEKlXWwF

Thanks bro 👍

Nice 👍 one of the last 3.5l engines 💯

Nice ! Should last another 100k at least 👍

Nice 👍 It’s a great vehicle 🚗

Ouch, yeah I prefer the 6 cylinder to the eco boost for this vehicle.

If I were you I’d get a 2015 Ford Edge SE trim (or any trim without the pano roof) because, according to my research, 2015 the last year they used the 3.5 liter engine. If you want more info on the current Edges engine - the 2.0l eco boost - Google - Ford 2 liter eco boost common problems… Then you’ll understand why I recommend sticking with the 3.5 liter lol Just watch the water pump on the 3.5 engine and you’ll be fine. One this channel … once a model and year range are determined… we use a 3 step process that includes the following: 1- Select - selecting the best year range and powertrain for you.. Which in this case is the 2015 3.5 liter 2- Screen - screen the previous owner(s) by looking at the car fax for free online. Here’s a couple videos of how I do this. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-N_Ba-OtMJp4.htmlsi=IAWdpqEMH9pZ6iv- ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uADJ-f39pvE.htmlsi=pDsOMMDmdVFPhdj2 3- inspect - have a mobile mechanic go to the lot and check it out before you buy it. You’re not looking for perfection, but you must avoid huge problems… Excessive rust, accidents ect. Car lots will sell you anything. Anything small that the mechanic finds can be used as leverage to lower your offer to the dealership. Have fun shopping. Let me know if you have any questions 👍

@@MJ100k Wow Thanks for all the info. Much appreciated!

Nice - I’ve been hearing some good things about that model Taurus.. I may have to make a video about it 👍

I just looked up some numbers, and it appears you are correct 👍 I’m seeing high mileage examples for sale online… several over 300k ! I might have to do a video on this Taurus 🤔💯🛠️

@@MJ100k That be great! The only things that needed repair under the hood was a high-pressure power steering line and an oxygen sensor. All which happen after a 100k miles.

@@Chieftain357 No problem. It will take a couple months. There are a few cars in line lol 😆

Nice 👍 Sounds like you’re taking good care of it, should have a lot of life left 🚗

get the PTU serviced.

Just had my timing chain seal replaced and it wasn’t cheep. Was covered by the extended warranty,

@@kevinaddington706 That’s good 👍

Yes the 3.7 is a very similar Duratec motor. The transverse versions of the 3.7 are also affected by the water pump concern in the 3.5L A very rough estimate would be 1,500-2000$ When will it happen: ? IDK - there was a class action lawsuit that was dismissed that claimed it happened as low as 50k. Ford says it’s tested to 150k… So idk when it could happen exactly. See the section on water pumps: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Cyclone_engine Some people think that changing the fluid with OEM fluid often and checking the coolant level weekly could help to see a signal it’s going out… But if it fails it could damage the engine - so if you’re planning on keeping the vehicle for a few years… I would make plans to get that water pump replaced if it’s original. You might as well replace the timing chain and any seals in that area while you’re in there.

@@MJ100k Thanks, Ill keep a eye on the coolant & oil. Ford should be sued for making a motor like that, but I know GM & Chrysler have done It too. I didn't know until I bought It & a friend said I better hope the water pump never goes up

Sorry to hear that… I would get a second opinion if I were you. Believe it or not… Occasionally mechanics will give you a super high quote when they don’t feel like doing a hard job (hoping that you’ll say no) …. and that water pump is a pretty hard job.

What engine do you have?

It is what it is 🤷‍♂️ A lot of people pay close to that for a timing belt job every 100k. One guy on here bought the special tool and did it himself. Took him all weekend, but he got it done ✅ 💯

Not only that, but the fact it can leak in the engine and nuke it is the biggest thing, I'm currently doing the job right now but another problem is the secondary timing chain broke as well, so I don't know if this engine is toasted or what, guess I'll find out

@@hummerguy fingers crossed 🤞

@@MJ100k Yea same here, the car was running rough at the time so we changed the spark plugs and coil packs. After that, we took it for a test drive and about 6 miles later, the car completely dies, it didn't make no weird noise or anything, it just died. This was my mom car on first, after that, she brought it to the mechanic shop and they said it needed a new engine because of the noise in the timing chain. She decided to decline getting a new engine and was going to just get the car scrapped, I decided I'll take it and see what I can do, she got a newer 2.0 ecoboost edge now. So far the things that failed was the "Water pump, secondary timing chain tensioner, and the secondary timing chain snapped. I'm currently waiting on a few more parts till I put everything back together and see what happens. I'm replacing the oil pump as well since I'm in there. I'm hoping this piston/valves didn't get any damage and this engine can go for another 150k. The car is at 154k right now

Is it an OEM alarm or aftermarket?

Interesting- so does it not work at all or is it just not bright enough for you ?

Why not just get a LED 9012 light, it'll be a great upgrade from the OEM bulbs

Hmmm, it probably something that rotates if it only happens at a certain speed range. Maybe- rims, rotors, axels, torque converter

The same problem I have. Brand new tires and twice I made a wheels balance. And no charges (

@@sulemanshafique5119 How long do you plan on keeping this vehicle ? 1-3 years, 3-6 years…. 6 years plus …..

6 + guaranteed this engine is very powerful being a V6 must be maintained

@@sulemanshafique5119 If you have experience doing big jobs like replacing timing belts/chains … then you should be able to handle this job. Just make sure to use the OEM special tool and the directions. If you have never done big jobs like this …. I would go ahead and pay a mechanic who has experience to do this one. While you’re in there - replace as many parts as you can (chain, guides, tensioner, seals etc) just to get them out the way. This way you can keep driving this vehicle for many years to come 👍

@@MJ100k sounds like a plan. I definitely do want to do it myself and if anything goes wrong, I can always then pay a professional to do it. That’s how I would approach it. It might take longer but I’d get the satisfaction of knowing what I put on the vehicle for future repairs.

I believe the recall you’re referring to was for the 2 liter Edge, not the 3.5 liter

Me too lol If you plan on keeping it another 100k… I’d go ahead and change it. 💯

If I bought a 3.5 liter, I’d go ahead and replace the water pump before it fails. I’d treat it like a timing belt interval. New one every 75-85k.

Mine failed, even with a Ford Recall & Ford Motor Co known issue to replace the motor, Conway's Motor Co of Bardstown, KY refused to replace my motor on my 2013 the garage manager quit over this!!

@@jeannie5389 I’m sorry to hear that. Sometimes you can complain directly to the OEM if a dealer refused to cover a warranty or recall. Are you referring to the recall for the fuel pulse damper that can leak ? That one was for the 2.0 liter turbo engine 2014-01-06 Recall no. 14V002000 Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain model year 2012-2013 Edge vehicles manufactured from September 2, 2010, through April 25, 2013, and equipped with 2.0L engines. The fuel line pulse damper metal housing may crack as a result of an improper manufacturing process. A cracked fuel line pulse damper housing may result in a combination of fuel odor, weepage, or a continuous leak while the fuel system is pressurized.

@@jeannie5389 Did you have a 2 liter engine or a 3.5 liter? I believe the recall you’re referring to was for a potentially leaking fuel pulse damper on the 2 liter engine.

Yeap- The water pump is a long job to do on this vehicle. Many shops are charging more for labor these days because of inflation unfortunately. 🤷‍♂️ Also, that sounds like a low price for a water pump. If I were you I’d get a water pump from the dealership parts department. It may cost more …. But this is NOT a job I’d want to have to do twice, due to putting in a cheap water pump.

They quoted me $2,500 so did it myself. 2015 3.5l SE and water pump started leaking at about 100k. Upgraded to a Melling HV oil pump while I was in there. Timing components all looked great and tight so no changes there. Did a new serpentine belt, tensioner as well while I had it off. Very hard job to do at home. Took me 5 days. But total cost was about $600. They would’ve charged $3k for the other repairs as well so saved $2,400

@@RevelationThree20 Wow Nice job 👍

I have a 2011 sel model. It has 150k kms on it. My Edge has been a pretty reliable vehicle. I have done all regular maintenance and change the ptu fluid myself every 2nd oil change.

@@Riezigwhat is ptu?

Interesting - I looked up the Saturn Vue- looks like it does have the Honda v6 as an option. That v6 does have a timing belt though. I’m not hearing good things about the transmissions in Vues.. but they do offer a manual … so IDK. Generally- I think that if you want a Honda engine you might as well buy a Honda lol I’d probably get a Honda CRV, Ford Edge or Togota Rav 4 over a Vue.

@@MJ100k Honestly, I prefer the vue if it has a manual, those things are light since they're made of fiberglass

I was thinking of doing a video on the Ford Explorer lol I’ve been seeing them everywhere lately

Every used vehicle has common problems. You can chose the vehicle with the common problem that you don’t mind dealing with 🤷‍♂️ One guy on here changed his own water pump on one of these… Took him all weekend… but he did it 💯

@@stuuuporman With the cost of a new car averaging 45,000$ The prospect of buying a good used car for 7 or 8,000$ and later replacing a water pump for 1,400$ all of a sudden.. doesn’t seem so bad 🤷‍♂️ One guy on here, took a weekend … did the repair himself and saved a grand 😉 Other used cars can blow whole engines or transmissions for 4-6000$ 👀
