The Ford Edge may be overheating because the thermostat or engine coolant temperature sensor has failed. If the sensor goes bad, the car's ECU or main computer won't monitor the coolant or engine temperature accurately, resulting in overheating. Other common reasons include actual coolant leaks from the reservoir, water pump or radiator hoses. If the car is leeching antifreeze the radiator will malfunction. If the engine's fan has stopped working, the temperatures within the Edge will rise quickly. This can be due to a failed fan clutch, blown fuses, aging motor, low anti-freeze levels or caused by the temperature sensor failure. The cost to have the sensor replaced ranges from $350-$450 in parts and labor.

The most common 3 reasons your ford edge is overheating are a coolant leak (water pump, radiator, hose etc.), The radiator fan, or a failed thermostat.

I have a 2014 with 170,000 miles and it’s recently started with the overheating alert but the first to go was the one of the fans to not work properly
I have a ‘16 ford edge titanium with 61,023 miles. I bought it used at 27,000 miles. The check engine light came on so I went to the dealer for service. They tell me the coolant has leaked into the engine and I need a new engine now. They want $9800 to fix it. I’m shocked as I haven’t driven this car but 40000 miles.
