2013 FORD EDGE Engine Problems

I purchased this vehicle used in August 2025 from the estate of a friend's relative. The records show it was meticulously maintained and no recall notices have been unaddressed. The prior owner used it infrequently and it still has just under 90k miles. There were no major engine issues when my local repair shop (over 12 years and 3 vehicles) inspected all systems, and the vehicle passed for PA state inspection and emissions. However, driving more, I noticed that the brakes would intermittently become "mushy" or "hard" and overall less responsive. I needed to use a lot of force to fully stop over a longer distance. There was also a hissing noise while braking and sometimes the cabin air fan would blast on suddenly. Then, while stopped at a red light and applying the brakes, the engine shut off and check engine light came on. My mechanic detected O2 sensor...

Since the day I bought my 2013 Edge I have had nothing but problems ranging from Backup Camera always has a distorted image, appears upside down or it will just be blank. For the last year I have had my car looked at, changed everything that could possibly be changed to now my car can be going down the road running 55-60 MPH and the car will just shut down and flash random warnings on the dash but the scariest & most unsafe part is how the steering wheel locks up or I lose power steering making it hard to move or coast off the road to safety. At this point I don't know what else to do. Questions below are asking for dates but unfortunately there are so many dates that my car does this as it happens almost daily so I will put date for the last day...

coolant leak from water pump

Liquid was leaking below the 2013 Ford Edge engine in our garage. A reputable independent repair center checked it out and found it to be the water pump leaking; which is located inside the Ford Cyclone engine. The engine would need to be taken apart to replace the defective water pump. It was explained to me that driving the vehicle may cause water to mix into the oil causing even more problems. I checked with a local Ford service center and was told they only have one person who can do this type of job and it would be over a month before it could be done. I opted for the reputable independent repair center who could do it in a week. The vehicle has been driven only 60,663 miles and is well maintained.

Put car in for regular service, and to investigate burning smell and transmission slippage. Mechanic found that the Power Transfer Unit (PTU) was completely filled with a paste-like sludge. (he has pictures) Mechanic says that the PTU is too close to the catalytic converter, therefore overheating the PTU and literally boiling the transfer fluid. He was able to clean the module, but says there's still a leak around the PTU seal. The work required to replace the seal, would also merit replacing the PTU. BUT, this is a $800 part! The safety risk would have been my transmission completely seizing up and causing an accident due to mechanical failure. The vehicle has had all of it's regular and milestone service work performed. No warning lights went off. I'm on borrowed time with this part and/or new transmission. Will there be a remedy to prevent this in the future?

Break booster with leak noted requiring replacement. Turbo boost needing replacement. After turbo boost replacement, began having a shudder during acceleration between 40-48 mph. Now needing torque converter replaced.

Vehicle will not idle at the correct rpms. Replaced battery and alternator had everything checks by a certified mechanic.

While driving the 2013 Edge Sport/vehicle just stalls out, tool light appears on for a couple of seconds then shuts off, vehicle doesn't accelerate, and then vehicle shuts off. Vehicle does start back up. This happen more than one occasion. Called dealership - Waiting to get my vehicle in the shop. Very dangerous because I was in the middle lane and almost got rear-ended and but myself and my son in danger along with other drivers. No prior engine light or any other light on beforehand.

My daughter was driving the car and the vehicle stalled out. A warning light for low oil pressure came on however the oil was change 1 week ago. This is very dangerous because she was on a very busy highway. Also when putting gas in the car it sometimes will not start.

I took very good care of my car's engine and while driving on the highway the engine block cracked open immediately shutting the car down, almost causing a crash and spilling oil all over the road for no apparent reason. There were no issues with the engine and no check engine lights were on.

Car started shaking when I started to slow down at a red light and then loss power in the road. This continued to happen. Finally engine light came on I took it to get scanned came back 02 sensor.

Driving along normally, the Wrench Indicator light comes on and the vehicle looses all engine power and until you turn the vehicle off, it will only run at about 2 mph. This has happened several times over a period of about four weeks. Each time this occurred , the vehicle began working normally after it was turned off and turned back on. The car was taken twice to a local repair shop in Ocean View DE. In each instance, no codes could be recovered and the malfunction didn't occur while they were troubleshooting. I was advised to take it to a Ford Dealer. We took it to the Boulevard (Preston) Ford dealership in Georgetown DE. It was in their shop for 5 days and they also could not identify the problem. We were told that they ren diagnostics on it and test drove the vehicle twice while it was in...

2013 Ford Edge "Water pump" The Water pump is driven off the timing chain. When the water pump fails it either leaks into the engine on early models or it throws the timing out. The dealer wants $2500.00 to replace the water pump because of all the labor too get to the pump inside of engine. You have to pull the timing chain cover. Remove most of the engine to get to it. When the timing is knocked off from the pump, Valves hit pistons. Now you have to pull heads and replace bent valves. Duel overhead cams. If the pump leaks coolant into engine, Game over! Milk shake! The engine bearings are gone. New Engine! This is without a doubt the worst designed engine out there. They could have made the pump to be driven from the outside of the timing cover from the serpentine belt. It has two...

I was told once that body control module wàs bad then I call to get it replaced and they said it wasn't bad. Windshield wipers go when they want then sometimes they won't work at all. Windows will roll down when rolling up or roll up when rolling down. Radio has been delayed. Sometimes definitely not eco boost. Pushes slower than my grandma's 1999 Buick. Brake boost was replaced in July ànd now again I have no breaks whatsoever I have to drive with the emergency brake

THE ENGINE LIGHT IS ON IN MY CAR. I TOOK IT TO A REPAIR SHOP AND THEY SAID IT HAD THE CODES OF P2196 AND P2198 A H02S HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR IS MALFUNTIONING. WHEN THE REP PULLED UP THE CODES HE INFORMED ME THEY HAD THOUSANDS OF MY SAME VEHICLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I CONTACTED FORD WARRANTY AND THEY SAID IT WAS NOT COVERED. THIS IS HORRIBLE FOR FORD TO KNOW THIS IS A DEFECT ON THEIR VEHICLE AND NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING IT. SO I WOULD LIKE TO LAUNCH THIS FORMAL COMPLAINT. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER FORD VEHICLE AGAIN. THE AIP HAS GONE OUT IN MY VEHICLE AND I HAVE HAD OTHER ISSUES THAT THE FORD WARRANTY HAS SAID DID NOT APPLY. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION WHEN THE LIGHT CAME ON.

1. LOW ENGINE OIL PRESSURE LIGHT CONTINUES TO COME ON AND CAUSE THE VEHICLE ENGINE TO SEIZE UP. CHECKED OIL LEVEL WHICH WAS GOOD AND CHANGED OIL.

IT TAKES A FEW TRIES BEFORE THE ENGINE WILL TURN OVER WHEN I TRY TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. 2. THE BRAKE ISSUE CONTINUES TO HAPPEN DAILY THAT THE BRAKES WILL FAIL AND NOT ALLOW ME TO USE THEM WHILE IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. IT SEEMS TO DO ALRIGHT ON THE FREEWAY OR WHEN I AM AT A CONSTANT SPEED. THEY MAKE A WHOOSHING SOUND AND MAKE THE BRAKES EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO PUSH THE BRAKE PEDAL DOWN AND SOMETIMES IT WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO USE THE BRAKES AT ALL. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO 2 DIFFERENT MECHANICS AND I AM WAITING...

IT ILLUMINATES THE INTERIOR LIGHTS CAUSING DISTRACTIONS AND SAFETY ISSUES FOR ME TRYING TO DRIVE AND OTHER DRIVERS AROUND ME, ESPECIALLY SINCE I WORK 3RD SHIFT AND DO A LOT OF NIGHTTIME DRIVING. IT HAS DRAINED MY BATTERY NUMEROUS TIMES DUE TO IT SETTING MY ALARM OFF INTERMITTENTLY BECAUSE IT ALL OF THE SUDDEN THINKS MY DOOR IS OPEN WHEN I HAVE IT PARKED. I HAVE READ SO MANY COMPLAINTS OF THIS ISSUE. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL BY FORD YEARS AGO AS THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. FORD SENT A LETTER OUT STATING THAT THEY WOULD DO A ONE-TIME COURTESY FIX FOR PEOPLE HAVING THIS PROBLEM, HOWEVER, THEY LISTED REQUIREMENTS FOR MILEAGE AND AGE OF VEHICLE...

HOWEVER, IT WAS ONLY ISSUED FOR 2011-2012 MODEL YEAR EDGE AND MKX VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH 3.5L OR 3.7L ENGINES.
