Play Mr Scotty I got a 2006 Ford 500 for my daughter and it is getting hard when she starts going up a hill doing 55 it feels kind of like the transmission is jumping down a gear real hard without her letting off of the foot feed. Any ideas where to start on that
I have a Edge I bought at copart auction. All new fluids and a changed out ptu with new fluid. Runs perfect with 208,000 miles. Going to Uber with it. Got it for $1600 plus about $500 in fees. If it lasts a year I'm money ahead. Lovely car to drive.
@Jonathan-mp32x Mine is all wheel drive and the ptu has yellow writing on it and looks new. I drilled tapped and put new plug in The bottom as directed by youtube posts. So I think Im Good. Thanks
Hey Scotty speaking of Ford products, I have a 2000 Mercury Grand Marquis with 327k miles on it. It was built in Canada. When I moved from Connecticut to Tennessee 14 months ago, I drove this car the 1100 miles to my new home without any problems at all AND going 70 mph the entire trip, the 4.6L V8 delivered 25mpg, which was the stated mileage rating at the time of manufacture. So to all car buyers, don’t discount older cars. There are still some good ones out there..I was lucky my Mercury was a free car, with no mechanical defects at time of acquisition. 😊 And there still are no mechanical defects outside of preventive maintenance. So treat your cars right and they’ll treat you right..
Scotty I started working on cars when I was able to hold a wrench. I started on cars professionally in 1982 at a Pontiac Buick AMC Jeep dealership at the age of 16 I’m 59yrs old now. I’ve been a ASE certified automotive technician for over 30 yrs. Tell me what where the best yrs for auto manufacturers. I say 95 till 2000.
Scotty - My 2022 4Runner TRD Off Road Premium got 23.3 MPG on the first leg of a trip from northern Wisconsin to Chicago at 75 MPH. I was amazed to say the least.
As do most owners, it's actually a pretty decent vehicle l, alot in our Facebook group have miled one or two out, gonna 6 years with mine in March, no issues yet, 60,000 kms, and I run My harder than her I assure you lol
Seriously. Had that happen while on vacation at the beach with my family. Noticed coolant on the ground, popped the hood and noticed the reservoir was empty, pulled the oil dipstick…chocolate milkshake. Fortunately, it had happened relatively soon to when I noticed it, towed it 200 miles back to my local mechanic (thanks AAA!), and they were able to change out the water pump for ONLY $1.4k. Worth it though, because I’ve gotten another 75k miles out of the engine. But keep in mind, i was aware of this issue and checked my fluids religiously (even would send oil samples to Blackstone Labs to check for moisture in the oil), and nothing showed until the catastrophic failure of the water pump. My mechanic friend showed it to me after, and the interior bearing rod just snapped in half and allowed the coolant to dump straight into the engine. It (the water pump) does have a double gasket with two weep holes that should give you a heads up on incremental leaks and is extremely durable otherwise, but man…what a stupid design to save a few inches of engine clearance! Also, the other thing to watch on these cars is if they have the 6F50 transmission…do a search on TSS/OSS issues, extremely common and can cause serious issues if not addressed quickly.
I know people with newer awd explorers with high miles with no serious issues.........and they have no rust..my wife has a 14 escape titanium , no serious issues, and no rust...theyre all maintaned and washed regularly , especially in winter..and were all in mass and NH with s snow and salt
The ptu issue in the awd was a problem with earlier models due to lack of maintenance, Ford said its got "lifetime" oil and never needs changing, they just swapped em under warranty, there's since been a drain hole added to newer models, you can dril and tap your own, some owners have
we have a fwd 2013 edge with 3.5l v6. had it since new. 180k miles. no major issues. we also used to have a '16 escape with 1.6l ecoboost ... nothing but trouble and we got rid of that junk.
I bought a 2018 Ford Edge AWD built in Oakville Ontario because it uses the Lincoln frame. The Lincoln is built at the same plant. No issues. Best car I ever owned. I get 33 miles per gallon on the highway, and that is the larger Canadian gallon.
My wife has a 2010 Edge with about 114,00 miles. Only thing other than normal maintenance, was replaced the brake booster. Runs, rides and shifts like new.
I love my 2010 Ford edge! 200,000 miles and the original AWD system is still going strong. She’s been an amazing trooper for my mom and I since new, and only ever needed all 4 wheel bearings at 175,000 and normal maintenance along the way. 4 sets of tires, 2 sets of front brakes and 1 set of rears, engine oil every 3,000, transfer case every 25-50,000 (depending on driving condition) transmission every 50,000, and differential fluid every 75,000. I could not give this thing any more praise for how reliable she is; hell even the high beam, license plate lamp, fog light, and side marker bulbs are all original from 2010.
Others may have already mentioned this, but the weak link in the AWD Flex, Escape, or Edge is the PTU. The PTU holds less than a quart of 75W-140 gear oil. If you religiously change the PTU oil, it should last. The older PTU models didn’t have a drain plug, so you had to siphon out the old oil. Apparently, the newer PTU models have a drain plug
Scotty as a CN employee, we service the Ford plant in Oakville, Ontario bringing in auto parts from the stamping plant in South Buffalo and pulling out loaded railcars with new Edges in them, I believe the Lincoln MKX's were still built there which then became the Lincoln Nautilus in 2019. We were told 2023 was going to be the last year before plant shutdown for retooling and electrification but now it has been pushed to the middle of 2024. No one knows if and when that will happen since it's all up in the air.
I had a 2007 Escape AWD automatic & had issues with the AWD system & a 2001 Escape FWD 5 Speed & both had 4 Cyl motors & only issue the clutch pedal needed to be replaced. Both were made in the USA!
2007 model... undoubtedly Mazda engineering in the powertrain. I researched the Escape and it holds true in that vehicle. Ford & Mazda had a few good things going back in the day: Ranger/B Series, Fusion/Mazda6, Escape/Tribute, did I miss any?
They all wheel drive version is actually a great car. I’ve had it for many years and it now has 143,000 miles on it. The only thing I’ve had to replace with the drive system is the center support bearing for the driveshaft.
That's what i like about you Scotty you give it to us straight without chaser, LOL, what you said is exactly true about Canadian assembled vehicles but as used vehicles i have found that the body rusts out quite easily , i lived in Canada for some years and i had many friends who literally took their vehicles to Ziebart every couple of years .
The Duratec 35/6F50 is a great combination; barring two very common flaws…the water pump in the engine, and the TSS/OSS sensors in the transmission. Barring those known weak points; if you keep up on maintenance, this setup is absolutely bulletproof otherwise.
I have the same car but i do have the all wheel drive version. I too have the tire pressure sense fault on and the traction control/abs is turned off. Mine runs great and has alot of power,my sunroof is dead but its sealed so I dont care. I am adding a tow hitch to it and gonna get a small cargo trailer to build out and use for camping. I like my Ford Edge and thanks for this video since mine is soo much like it and now I dont have to worry about these stupid lights.
The 3.5 isn't a bad engine. It's way better than GM's 3.6 with its multitude of timing chain problems. The only thing that would worry me about it is the water pump.
Agreed. I have a 17' Explorer with that engine, and I removed the Orange Coolant, and replaced it with the new Yellow Motorcraft coolant with better inhibitors to help prolong the life of the water pump. An Ex Ford tech suggested I do that. Glad I did.
Bless you Scotty for this informative vids. Did anybody tell you you look and sound like Saul Goodman? Maybe you are Saul after he got released many years later
I guess I got Lucky. I used to have a 2005 Ford Escape Limited AWD, and I used it for Lyft, and Uber. Replaced the Transaxle Fluid, and replaced a bad seal on the Transaxle, but never had issues with the AWD system. Owned it for 7 years, until I sold it with 177,340 miles, and It was perfectly fine.
We still have our 2007 Ford Edge, you're right, the PTU or AWD unit is a poor design. We are on our 3rd PTU, it only holds not quite a quart of 75/140 synthetic gear oil & they cook the lubricant and burn up! I started having it scavenged out every year (no drain plug), but they still failed. It now has 277,000 miles on it, it's ready for front CV Shafts and a rear driveshaft (can be expected with this mileage on it).
Currently working on mine has 270000 miles runs great but hard and annoying to swap alternator belts anything really if you have paitence they are great rides
some guy I work with has the Lincoln version of this thing transmission went out a month ago then 2 weeks later then engine out on his newer gmc2500 lol
We still own a 14 edge sport and it just turned 100k and it's been the best car we've ever owned. The only thing I've ever had to do to it was change the throttle body because the butterfly motor went bad and it's a one piece unit with the throttle body. I've also changed the struts and the battery. That's it. General maintenance stuff. But I can't say the same for other ford's I've owned.
My wife has a 2015 Ford Edge and it has been an excellent vehicle. We got it used in 2018 with 19,000 miles and it’s now got just under 96,000 miles and runs like a champ. Front wheel drive and a V6, stay away from those 2.0 Eco Boost pieces of crap. 🇺🇸✌️😎
I have a 2014 Ford Edge with 220,000 miles...has all the same modern features as the brand new cars do and it's paid for! Bought it for $5,000. lol Still runs like a top! Would definitely buy another one even though I've never been a fan of Ford.
Ive got a 2013 chevy impala that i would drive across the country in with its 3.6lfx engine which i keep very well maintained. You just cant skip oil changes with the 3.6 or you will regret it
Scotty, why was the electric front seat moving? Was there a short? Also, since the owner disconnected the ABS system, I doubt whether the customer's car will pass inspection.
My daughter has the same car with 170k mi and it still runs great. No major repairs over the years. They're great vehicles and bought a 2020 Edge for my wife.
My wife proved how SAFE they are 60mph T-Boned a Truck Bad not a scratch on her they turn left in front her SAFE n still driving our 2015 was the new style. 😮SAFE N RUN GREAT ! Really
Scotty, I have a 2012 Ford Edge, 3.5L V6. Runs well, but the drivers door ajar light stays on with the door closed. Cleaned the door latch switch with electronic contact cleaner, but no change. Suggestions?
The Canadian vehicles I've had have been great. The Mexican made vehicles my friends have had... not so much. I dont think they know how to make a wire harness in Mexico.
@Jonathan-mp32x I don't think it as bad as the Chrysler 2.7 v6 which had other problems along with the water pump replacement but still it's very annoying.
@Jonathan-mp32x Suggest you don’t let it go too long. If the seals fail, you’ll have coolant in your crankcase and wipe your bearings out - - good bye engine. Change that water pump before she blows.
When they list the price for a battery-electric car, they should also list the price for a battery replacement (shop cost) and replacement battery (item cost). Not much sense to buy a $20k car when 10 years later, to replace the battery you need more money than what the car is worth. I can't wait for an electric powered car, but so far they are gimmicky toys, not tools of transportation.

The ptu is the key. Ford says they are set for life without a fluid change. That makes a very short life, so you buy a new vehicle.

My 2012 for edge has been the best car I’ve ever owned. I’m a GM guy, but this edge runs amazing!! They made a great car there
You can tell Scotty still has a fond place in his heart for Canada just by the jean jacket or " Canadian Tuxedo " that he wears .

Welcome to Chicago stick to the North Side.
A co worker had one of these many years ago. She drove 45 miles each way to work and said it was the best car she ever owned.
No offence , but women have slightly different way of judging how cars are better than others.

The worst thing about that 3.5 is the water pump in the timing cover timing chain driven
thats true but if you change your oil and coolant on time, it wont eat away at the rubber seals that causes them to fail
Seriously. Had that happen while on vacation at the beach with my family. Noticed coolant on the ground, popped the hood and noticed the reservoir was empty, pulled the oil dipstick…chocolate milkshake.

Good ole "cornbinder" from Imternational Harvestor! Wish I had a scout!!😊
Scotty is a knowledgeable and an honest mechanic.
And there is darn few around!
Quite the rarity.
My daughter has the same car with 170k mi and it still runs great. No major repairs over the years. They're great vehicles and bought a 2020 Edge for my wife.
My 2008 ford edge limited AWD is great
How many miles do you have on you edge?
This one is before the model refresh 2011.
Thanks Scotty!
My wife proved how SAFE they are 60mph T-Boned a Truck Bad not a scratch on her they turn left in front her SAFE n still driving our 2015 was the new style. 😮SAFE N RUN GREAT ! Really
Is the awd that bad in the edge? I found a edge limited awd with 66k miles should I buy it or leave it alone?
Scotty got excited over the burnouts.
Scotty's gardens at home will be growing real good with all that "horse manure" he has around there.😂
The six cylinder turbo engines now only come with all wheel drive.
My 23 year old Toyota has bidirectional power seats. I pull the metal lever and push with my legs.
Scotty, I have a 2012 Ford Edge, 3.5L V6. Runs well, but the drivers door ajar light stays on with the door closed. Cleaned the door latch switch with electronic contact cleaner, but no change. Suggestions?
The freaking water pump replacement is insane about 20 hours to do and cost up to 4k😢
This ford edge has issue of water pump is inside the engine just waiting to leak and ruin the engine on the spot.
My neighbors explorer had that issue. Poor fella lost an arm an a leg to repair it.
I know someone with an old Ford Edge, it has 250,000 + miles.
How do people drive without ABS??? It has saved me from hitting someone multiple times.
The Canadian vehicles I've had have been great. The Mexican made vehicles my friends have had... not so much. I dont think they know how to make a wire harness in Mexico.
Does the FWD have a tow package?
My dad used to work for Ford motor company and he was transferred to Oakville Ontario. To work at that plant. Back then they made the Ford tempo.
Scotty, I'm very glad that the computer didn't crush you in the driver's seat!
At least the manufacturer circled the problem for you.
When (not if) water pump goes, spend more than car worth to fix.....big pass. Should be on Scotty's list to run away from.
Does it have the internal water pump that leaks into the crankcase when it wears out?
Is it hard to replace the water pump?
@Jonathan-mp32x yeah I figured. Surprised that he didn't mention it, i thought this car was the exception somehow.
@Jonathan-mp32x I don't think it as bad as the Chrysler 2.7 v6 which had other problems along with the water pump replacement but still it's very annoying.
Water pump job is closer to $3K now on the 3.5L.
@Jonathan-mp32x Suggest you don’t let it go too long. If the seals fail, you’ll have coolant in your crankcase and wipe your bearings out - - good bye engine. Change that water pump before she blows.
@Jonathan-mp32x the seals are beginning to go. Better plan on getting the job done soon.
Hi Tony in oakville Ontario 😂😂
Do you think the Lincoln MKX is any good from this year?
Same vehicle with an expensive interior upgrade
Scotty is the best POZDRO from Poland ❤
I had the awd for years never ever had a second problem with it and here in New Brunswick I wouldent own anything that's not awd
They need to make a full-size long lasting basic sedan again. I don't know how the cops like going on high speed chases with those top heavy SUVS.
Ontario whoeeee
When they list the price for a battery-electric car, they should also list the price for a battery replacement (shop cost) and replacement battery (item cost). Not much sense to buy a $20k car when 10 years later, to replace the battery you need more money than what the car is worth. I can't wait for an electric powered car, but so far they are gimmicky toys, not tools of transportation.
They push the extended warranty on you and try and get another $3-4,000 out of you
“If you buy this car in the awd version, you’re stupid!” 😂😂😂
How do you contact Scotty? I got a cool story about my Subaru.
got a 2007 lincoln mkx, a couple years ago
"Electronic crap wagons".😃 Priceless.
Ford scares the crap out of me period.
Me too😂
Has always been junk
Me too my last vehicle was a Ford edge2011 limited what a piece of junk I will never buy another Ford ever double 🐦🐦s to Ford
are they all STILL programmed to fall apart at 60,000 miles (or the day after warranty expires)?
Drove every ford I’ve ever had into the ground. ‘98 expedition just got to 280K and I sold it. Just got a new F150. Loving it.
I own a 2013 Ford Edge, I will only buy Toyota or Honda from now on
I wonder how many skid marks are there around Scotty's neighborhood after all those burnout testing hahaha.
