NHTSA has 44 owner complaints on file for the 2024 Ford Edge[1]. The recall count for this year is 2[2].
Most reported problems
Here is how the complaints on file split by component group, biggest first.
- Unknown or other. 9 complaints[5]. These reports do not fit a named component group, so the label is broad.
- Electrical system. 8 complaints[6]. In the stories we read, owners describe a weak horn, a seat heater that overheated, an infotainment screen that froze or went black, a power liftgate that closed on its own, and dash warnings that came with a loss of power steering.
- Back over prevention. 7 complaints[7]. Owners describe a rear camera that freezes, goes dark or keeps showing its picture after the car leaves reverse. Some also say they are waiting on parts for a recall repair.
- Power train. 5 complaints[8]. Owners describe the car rolling the wrong way when shifted, a gear that would not engage until the car was restarted, and shuddering at lower speeds.
- Air bags. 3 complaints[9].
- Seats. 3 complaints[10]. Owners describe a loose rear bench, a noisy power seat motor, and head restraints that sit too far forward.
- Exterior lighting. 2 complaints[11].
- Latches, locks and linkages. 2 complaints[12].
Recalls
Newest first. Each recall covers only certain vehicles, so not every 2024 Edge is necessarily included.
- Back Over Prevention › Software (26V124), March 2026. About 849,310 vehicles are potentially affected across every model and year the recall names. The recall names these risks: a crash. Dealers do the repair free of charge.[13]
- Back Over Prevention › Software (25V315), May 2025. About 1,076,138 vehicles are potentially affected across every model and year the recall names. The recall names these risks: a crash. Dealers do the repair free of charge.[14]
Fuel economy
EPA ratings depend on the engine and drive. Annual fuel cost uses EPA's current fuel price assumptions, not prices when the car was new.
| Version | City / highway / combined MPG | Annual fuel cost |
|---|---|---|
| Edge AWD, 2.7L 6-cyl turbo, Automatic (S8), Regular, All-Wheel Drive[15] | 19 / 25 / 21 | $3,200 |
| Edge AWD, 2.0L 4-cyl turbo, Automatic (S8), Regular, All-Wheel Drive[3] | 21 / 28 / 23 | $2,900 |
| Edge AWD, 2.0L 4-cyl turbo, Automatic 8-spd, Regular, All-Wheel Drive[16] | 21 / 28 / 23 | $2,900 |

| Engine | Horsepower |

| 2024 Ford Edge with 2.0L 4-cylinder[18] | 245 hp |

Should you buy a used 2024 Edge?
The complaint record for this year is small and spread across many groups[1]. The biggest single group is a catch-all label, so it does not point to one clear weak spot[5]. Electrical and rear camera reports come next, and they are worth checking on a test drive[6][7]. Air bag complaints are a smaller group, yet all 3 mention a crash[9]. These are unverified owner reports, so treat them as a prompt to ask questions and not as a verdict.
