2015 Ford Edge mileage at failure

449 of the 731 complaints on file for the 2015 Ford Edge give the vehicle's mileage when the problem happened.

Mileage at failure by component, from owners' complaints to NHTSA
EngineMedian 70,000 milesMiddle half 12,000–110,000 milesBased on 142 complaints
Service BrakesMedian 100,000 milesMiddle half 75,000–140,000 milesBased on 53 complaints
Power TrainMedian 80,000 milesMiddle half 18,000–100,000 milesBased on 84 complaints

A component's median is its 50th percentile, and its middle half runs from its 25th to its 75th percentile.

Owners give the mileage themselves, often as a round number, and NHTSA doesn't check it. A complaint that names several components counts under each one, and mileages that can't be right, such as 999,999, or 50 miles on a five-year-old car, are left out.

These figures describe the complaints owners filed. They don't predict when a particular vehicle will have a problem, and vehicles that never had one aren't counted.

Most complaints NHTSA received since May 17, 2021 give no mileage. So that they aren't undercounted, each one received since then that gives a mileage also stands in for those that gave none, which can put a component's median above most of the mileages it is based on.
