[XXX] [XXX] As you can see in the links above this has been a issue with the purge valve for the Edge . this problem is so ignorable to the driver because they will junk the car and resale it. I cant because i signed papers to buy this Edge I could have did another lease. I decided to buy my this Edge 2021out of 4 Edges Ive leased and this one I should have not bought my(2021). Buying this one with low miles 22,335, and at the most ten days later this particular part (purge valve) not even an opportunity to shop around for a extended warranty went bad. Its not only a problem for ford but then the Lincoln Nautilus that vehicle shows it holds its value $30,000 or more I also consider this vehicle as well during my purchasing process. I convinced my sister to lease her second Corsair 2024. And family of dedicated ford owners ford 150's its hard for me to not tell them this is and issue. my mother scheduled her appointment weeks down late August 2024 for recall her 2021 and the purge valve. The purge valve should have extended the recall to 2021's Edge and others. Im out diagnostic fees, labor, to fix it almost $900.... that is ridiculous INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
