The 2013 ford edge was my first car and the worst decision I have ever made. I bought the car as is at 95,000 miles and the problems began after half a year of driving. I had to replace the breaks twice, the first time the brake pads and the calipers, the second time I had to put on two new brake disks. There were always smaller problems with the car. The engine would stall at least once every two months, and a few times the check engine light came on out of nowhere so I would have to pull over and turn the car off and on again. In the wintertime, the backup camera would not work if you hadn't warmed up the car. If you don't come to a complete stop when shifting into drive from reverse, the dash will light up, say something about oil circulation, and fix you will have to go back to park and turn the car off and on. The issue I'm reporting is in regards to the absolutely awful transmission. At 98,320 miles the transmission box failed and caused the driveshaft to roll, creating an awful clicking sound from the bottom of the car. When I brought it to the first mechanic, he told me I would have to get it fixed elsewhere, and his estimated cost of the repair was $3,500. When I brought it to a dealership to fix it they estimated it would cost $7,500 to repair, and at this point that is much more than the car itself is worth. I ended up selling it for $4,700. Do not get this car, or as far as I'm concerned don't get a Ford.
