I got the 2018 Ford Edge
I got the 2018 Ford Edge titanium used at 57k miles. I went there to see about a Mazda! But admittedly wowed by the titanium trim level, just the right amount of space,practicality and good looks.
Not but 3 or 4 days later the check engine light began. Took 5 separate trips thru svc “quick lane”to get a scan and an actual next day appointment. Something definitely wrong as it limped on in.
Total engine replacement, covered under warranty, but new I am told the replacement is the same eco boost. With a 2 or maybe 3 year warranty. This is a 4 year old car and apparently began its life as a rental car and then one other owner who traded in the car about a year later.
Should I refuse to take this car back and pick something else on the lot? Drive it for a year and trade in?
Will the fact that it was “driven like a rental” impact how soon the eco boost crapped out or was it inevitable around the 50 k mile mark?
Should I cut and run or give the new one a chance ? How do I stay confident it’ll make it?
If I could go;back I’d go to a Mazda , Toyota or Honda dealership but they don’t have many options in my area without an hours drive.
