The Ford Edge might be experiencing overheating issues due to a malfunctioning thermostat or engine coolant temperature sensor. If the sensor is faulty, the car's main computer won't accurately monitor the coolant or engine temperature, leading to overheating. Other common causes include coolant leaks from the reservoir, water pump, or radiator hoses. If the car is losing antifreeze, the radiator may malfunction. An inactive engine fan can also cause temperatures to rapidly increase within the Edge. Potential reasons for the fan's failure could include a faulty fan clutch, blown fuses, an aging motor, low antifreeze levels, or a defective temperature sensor. The cost to replace the sensor typically ranges from $350 to $450 in parts and labor.

The top three culprits for why your Ford Edge is overheating typically include a coolant leak - such as issues with the water pump, radiator, or hoses - the radiator fan not functioning properly, or a faulty thermostat.

I drive a 2014 car with 170,000 miles on it. Lately, I've been getting an overheating warning, and the first issue was one of the fans not working correctly.

Replace the radiator and thermostat, but the issue of overheating persists.

I drive a 2016 Ford Edge Titanium with 61,023 miles on it that I purchased when it had 27,000 miles. Recently, the check engine light turned on so I took it to the dealership for servicing. They informed me that the coolant had leaked into the engine, causing significant damage, and that I would need a completely new engine. The repair is going to cost me $9800, which caught me off guard since I've only driven the car for about 40,000 miles.
