2 Answers
The faults that may occur with the Edge include: 1. Steering system malfunction; 2. Tire pressure monitoring system malfunction; 3. Cooling system malfunction; 4. Anti-lock braking system malfunction; 5. Abnormal noise from brake pads; 6. Electric parking brake malfunction. When any of the above faults occur, the source should be identified and addressed as soon as possible. The Edge is a compact SUV under Changan Ford, with body dimensions of 4585mm in length, 1882mm in width, and 1688mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2710mm. The Edge is equipped with a 2.0T four-cylinder engine and features such as a 12.3-inch full LCD instrument panel, multifunction steering wheel, road speed limit recognition, lane keeping assist, automatic parking, adaptive cruise control, pre-collision braking system, and panoramic imaging.
I've been driving a Ford Edge for several years, and it's had quite a few common issues. On the engine side, the turbocharger tends to have problems under high load, such as unstable power during cold starts and faster-than-normal oil consumption. The transmission exhibits noticeable jerking during low-speed shifts in city traffic—Ford's dual-clutch design isn't very durable. The electronics are problematic too, with the central screen often freezing or going black, affecting navigation and music. After tens of thousands of miles, the suspension system starts leaking oil and making noises, feeling like it's falling apart on bumpy roads. The A/C is slow to cool in summer, with poor cooling efficiency. The braking system sometimes squeaks, requiring checks on the pads and rotors. Most of these issues stem from design flaws or material choices. I recommend monthly checks on oil levels and tire pressure, along with early visits to the shop to avoid major repairs.
