Prior to taking delivery of this car (new, March 2017) the selling dealer replaced the tail/back-up light assembly on the tailgate because it had moisture in it. After I had the car for about 3 months the moisture came back and I called the dealer. They said it was a know problem and they would get back to me when they had the part to fix it. They never called me and I forgot about the problem. In October 2024, a neighbor told me my right back-up light was out. A couple of weeks later I went to my mechanic to have the bulb replaced. He told me that both back-up lights were out and they were non-replaceable LEDs. The entire light assembly must be replaced before I can get a state inspection sticker. The list price of the unit from Ford (only available from Ford no aftermarket part made) is $1,257.57. The car only has 48,206 miles on it. I think the LEDs shorted out because of the moisture. I called Ford, they said there was nothing they could do for me. I don't believe I am the only person to have this problem. I think Ford should do something because it is a problem they knew about since day one.

I purchased a 2016 Ford Edge and it has been one problem after another. This particular problem, and the last straw, has to do with coolant leaking from my car. After reading several complaints over a period of years it seems to be the same issue with many owners of the same make and model, a crack in the cylinder or motor (Long Block). I also read that Ford is aware of this problem and nothing has been done towards resolving the situation. This cannot be an ongoing issue. What will it take before a recall is made? After paying for several repairs since purchasing the car, I have exhausted all of my resources and can not afford an engine replacement. Will someone please, please, please, hear our complaints and offer a resolution that will not cost us an arm and a leg as a result of the manufacturer's negligence. I am very disappointed in FORD.

The passenger side rear brake hose is leaking severely, causing soft breaks. Making it very difficult to stop. This happened suddenly and did not experience any issues prior to the hose starting to leak. It will be towed to Ford for inspection and repair. We had no warning lamps or messages prior to the hose leaking.
