Ford Edge
Model Overview
The Edge is Ford's entry in the mid-size crossover category. This five-seater was high-tech before it was cool, and recent models boast one of the best infotainment systems in the class. Sport and ST trims are performance-tuned variants that stand out in an otherwise bland class of cars. No matter how you spec it, the Edge is a nice driver with useful interior space.

Excellent car overall, ruined by horrible front seats.
September 18, 2019
Titanium
Overall Score
The car shines in almost every aspect, but unfortunately the driving experience as a whole is completely ruined by the MOST uncomfortable front seats I have ever sat in, in any car I’ve ever owned. These seats are specific to the Titanium trim only and while many users have been signaling this for years, it seems Ford chose to turn a deaf ear and it continues to install them despite the increasing number of harsh complaints. The seats are way too narrow even for a slim-fit person, the side bolsters are overly tall and stiff, cutting into the thighs thus making any position really painful after only about 20-30 minutes in the car. Furthermore, the entire seat is awkwardly tilted backwards, so the knees are always higher than the hip, no matter what adjustment one tries. My legs get numb after 20-30 in the car, and that’s when the whole driving experience gets ruined.
Positives:
- Excellent implementation of all “new” safety features,
- Very spacious interior, consistent with all previous Edge models.
- Good handling in sharp turns even on uneven or slippery roads,
- Excellent brakes,
- Impressive power from the 2.0L EcoBoost engine,
- Better than expected gas mileage on highway driving (relative to its weight), even at increased speeds.
- Responsive and ergonomic infotainment,
- Navigation is better than most competitor's,
- Phenomenal LED headlights, making driving at night safe and quite satisfying.
Negatives:
- Horrible front seats making the Edge the most uncomfortable car ever,
- Somewhat rough downshifting which is being felt just before coming to a complete stop as a series of jerks,
- Poor gas mileage in city driving, making the 2.0L engine equipped Edge to burn slightly more fuel in the city than its 3.5L V6 counterpart.
- Narrow sun visors, making them useless when heading towards the sun.

Notification Type:
Safety Mfr
Issue:
On certain vehicles, long-term exposure to high absolute humidity and temperature, combined with high temperature cycling, may eventually degrade the propellant contained in the passenger-front airbag. This could cause the airbag to deploy with more force than normal. If the airbag inflator ruptures, fragments could be propelled toward vehicle occupants or cause damage to the airbag assembly, preventing its proper function.
Safety Risk:
If the vehicle is involved in a crash requiring an airbag deployment, the airbag inflator could rupture and create a risk of injury.
Corrective Actions:
Owners will be notified by mail and instructed to take their vehicle to a dealer to have the passenger-front airbag inflator replaced.
Note: The Canadian climate results in the propellant degrading slowly. This recall is being conducted as a precaution to address future risk. It is expected that all airbag inflators will be replaced before their function would be affected.
Additional note: This recall supersedes recalls 2016-347 (Ford Safety Improvement Program 16S26), 2017-024 (Ford Recall 17S01) and 2018-035 (Ford Recall 18S01). Vehicles repaired under the previous recalls do not require repair under this recall.

Certain ACDelco Advantage wheel hub spindles, manufactured by Bearing Technologies Ltd., contain a defect which may affect vehicle safety. The spindles have studs with oversized protruding shoulders that may make assembling the part difficult with certain aftermarket brake rotors (original equipment rotors are not affected). If this difficulty in assembly is not heeded, the defect may cause a vibration of the vehicle or wobbling of the wheel on which the hub is installed. If a driver does not stop the vehicle, this may lead to a loss of vehicle control.
Affected parts are ACDelco Advantage wheel hub spindles, Part No. 19360602 (BR930676K), sold between November 21, 2016 and October 2, 2017. Parts manufactured with these studs have any of the following LOT codes etched on the face of the spindle: FH38, FJ38, FN38, FP38, FS38, FV38, FY38, FZ38, and HC38.

Certain vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 126 - Electronic Stability Control Systems. Vehicles that were brought to a dealer for service may have received an incorrect software update for the Antilock Brake System Stability Control system. The incorrect software disables the engine torque control of the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system, and if a fault were to occur in the stability control system, including Antilock Brake System (ABS), Traction Control (T/C), and ESC, no warning lamp/indicator would be displayed to the driver. Additionally, no warning lamp/indicator would be displayed when traction control is disabled, or when the Electric Parking Brake (EPB) is applied. A lack of visual warning to indicate these systems are not functioning would be contrary to the requirements of the standard, and could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will reprogram the ABS module to correct the non-compliance. Until this software is available, dealers will replace the ABS module.

On certain vehicles registered and operated in areas where road salt is used on the roadways during winter months for extended time periods (Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland-Labrador), corrosion may occur at the steering gear motor attachment bolts. Steering gear motor detachment from the gear housing could result in sudden loss of steering power assist. This would cause the Electronic Stability Control and Traction Control malfunction indicator lamps to illuminate. A vehicle experiencing a loss of steering power assist would revert to a manual steering mode which would require greater driver effort, especially at low vehicle speeds. A loss of steering power assist could ultimately result in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will apply sealer and replace the steering gear motor attachment bolts as required. If one or more of the steering gear motor attachment bolds are broken or missing, a new steering gear will be installed in the vehicle.
