If you plan on buying a ford edge from 2017, or anywhere between 2015-18, I implore you to make sure that you buy a used one. Why, because if it has over 100k miles on it, there's a good chance it had a good gen 1 engine in it or already had the cracked gen 1 engine in it replaced with a new gen 2 engine in it that won't crack anytime soon. This is a known problem with the ford edges and other models that come with that specific first generation model inline 4-cylinder between the 80k-100k miles marker, Ford knows about it and a recall should be issued but they won't be doing that anytime soon. So, if you by a ford edge with under 60k miles on it like I did, immediately purchase the 50k miles powertrain warranty at designated ford dealer, and if the car is a CPO get the 100k miles warranty no matter what the miles on it currently are, you no idea if the engine you got is going to crack, so make sure you get the warranty plan that will cover replacing the engine and anything else that goes wrong with the needed number of miles to cover the 80k-100k miles marker; my edge almost made it to 100k miles before it cracked. And because the new engine put so much back pressure on the old transmission, the engine killed the transmission, so I got that replaced too! $205 deductible later, and I essentially got an entire new car, I'll drive the thing till the wheels fall off at this point.

Gelreat car for the most part. I got it used with 125k miles. So far so good knock on wood on engine coolant leak issues. But the only downside and i've never had major bad luck with ford. Except on those junky focus transmissions 2012 to 2018. Well I got 170k miles on it and my flex plate is bad or cracked. My understanding is the issue is cause by torque converter weld stud bolts not welded properly from factory. I have been confirmed by my mechanic that it is flex plate rattle. Whats crazy is there is a csp on it for that same flex plate rattle but im over the 120k mile mark. But other ford edges with my same 2.0 engine on the 2017 year model have a recall for torque converter welds and recalls are unlimited mileage. I think thats what caused my flex plate issue. I understand normal wear and tear but 170k mile when i have taken care of it, that dont seem fair.

Do not buy the 2017 2.0L turbo-charged titanium. It will break your heart and pocketbook! Bought mine used at 75k miles. Kept all maintenance up to date. Initially had problem w door weather stripping on rear doors. Poor design and was repaired right away with a cheap Ford customer support bulletin job. No problem until about 130K. The transmission literally fell apart! Flex plate cracked and needs to be replaced, torque converter needs to be replaced and the transmission pump as well. This is a much more common problem than Ford wants us to know. They have recalled select Edge and MKX vehicles built within a tiny window of time for this problem. Way more vehicles, including mine, are affected than Ford wants all to know. The problem started with an “innocuous” stall as I accelerated from a stop, turning onto a busy 55 mph road. Luckily I was able to pull over immediately onto the shoulder. We could have been T-boned and maybe killed! No problems after that for a couple of weeks and then an awful racket and the shifting/downshifting issues began between 2 and 3k rpms. It would rattle at idle and as I first accelerated, but was quiet as long as I stayed at about 45 mph. There was a terrific revving and racket if the car shifted automatically while climbing or descending even slight hills. The repair is NOT covered under any current Ford program or my extended warranty.
