2014 3.5L Edge waterpump??
 

Hi
I'm looking at a 2014 Edge 115K, 3.5l. How bad are the internal water pump failures? From what I read I'm in the range at 115K for failure bewteen now and 150K..

Any insight would be great

Thanks

They are bad enough that I would never own one. If not caught in time, the result likely would be a severely damaged or blown engine. Very costly to have the water pump replaced unless you do it yourself.
My advice pay attention to coolant level and oil level / condition. 100k or a sudden drop in coolant would be my water pump time for replacement.

As you know, Murphy's Law , kinda states,if it can , it will fail at a most inconvenient time. Knowing the estimated life, I would consider replacing it now when you can pick a convenient time . Nothing like a breakdown out in the middle of nowhere waiting for a tow truck and still having to replace a water pump.
This would definitely be considered "Preventive Maintenance".. How do you feel about that?

Thx for getting back... yeah i dont want to buy a car for 12k with 115k just to out 2to3 k into a damn $200 waterpump, or ripping the motor down in 3 month stupid design....thx again

great 3k for waterpump job!!! Great engineering!

I still scratch my head why engineers would design something like that. They must have been former Chrysler engineers with the 2.7 engine.

As instructors and technicians we blame the engineers. They know better than to offer an unreliable product, it makes them look bad, BUT , who makes the final decision is the "Bean Counters". A penny here and a penny there multiplied by the number of vehicles adds up to quite a saving. That almighty dollar is still what determines which way to go.
