Which Ford Edge years should you avoid?
Going by 14,115 owner complaints filed with NHTSA, the Ford Edge years to avoid are 2013, 2011 and 2010.
- 20132,447 complaints, 3.2× a typical Edge year, most often about the electrical system.
- 20111,803 complaints, 2.3× a typical Edge year, most often about the electrical system.
- 20102.0× the usual share of fires, crashes and deaths for a car of its age (3 fires, 28 crashes, 1 death).
Better bets: among years old enough for a low count to mean something, the 2014 drew the fewest complaints without an unusual share of serious ones.
How this is worked out: each year is compared with a typical year of the same model, which takes most of the difference in sales out of it, and its share of serious failures is compared with every other car of the same model year, because older cars were complained about differently. A year needs 25 complaints to be judged at all. Complaints are unverified owner reports. Full method →
