The 2017 Ford Edge is the most likely candidate for engine problems as it posts a 26% chance of a $500+ repair involving the motor. That’s quite a bit higher than the 15% average for this metric and correlates with the two most common DTCs in 2017 being engine-related.
As for transmission trouble, watch out for the 2007 Ford Edge. The very first model year. These Edges have a 15% chance of the transmission being responsible for an expensive repair. It’s the highest of any model year and points to the importance of staying on top of automatic transmission service intervals.
