Why does the check engine light come on when I start my Edge?

It's okay if your check engine light comes on when you first start your vehicle. It’s just your Edge firing up its circuits. The dash light shouldn't stay on. If it does, you might want to bring your vehicle in for service.

Why does my Ford engine sound different?

Unusual noises can signal a problem with your Ford Edge engine. Tapping or knocking could mean you need an oil change. A high-pitched whistle could signal an intake leak or misaligned belt. Squealing can be traced back to a loose fan belt, and grinding could be a sign that something is wrong with your brakes — not the engine.

What could damage a Ford engine? [ordered-list-1-item-3-1]Are you unknowingly damaging your Ford Edge engine?

Some driving habits are not so great for your engine. These include driving on a near-empty gas tank, revving the engine while still in Park, or pushing 'the pedal to the metal' before the engine has warmed up. Help sustain your engine’s performance and efficiency by staying miles away from these bad driving practices.

Is it okay to put water in my Ford Edge radiator?

An emergency is the only time you should consider putting water in your radiator. Outside of that, it’s recommended you use a pre-mixed coolant or a 50/50 blend of water and coolant. However, if you need to continue driving your Edge when you’re out of coolant, having water in the coolant reservoir is better than nothing.

What can cause the engine in my Edge to suddenly stop?

Your Edge car engine could stop suddenly due to low fuel, electrical issues, overheating, a faulty ignition system, mechanical troubles, or sensor problems.
