 Yesterday morning I would have told you I love my Edge.  Today it is junk.  We bought our 2011 Edge used with 48,000 miles.  It has been meticulously maintained and lovingly driven.  We typically drive cars at least 200,000 miles and subscribe to the theory that if you take care of the car and replace parts when they need it, it will take care of you for a long time.  Yesterday, two minutes after leaving my home, a light came on warning that my coolant was at a dangerous temperature.  I had it towed only to discover that the water pump had failed and since it is internally located in the engine, it has destroyed my engine.  I will either have to replace the engine, only to risk a repeat of this episode in 50,000 miles or so, or get another car.  After researching this, I have found this is fairly common on the Edge, Flex, Taurus and F-150.  Just to replace the water pump prior to catastrophic failure is over $2000 and they will fail at some point, folks.
