LetsTryaFord

This is a very poor vehicle in my view, just way too many deficiencies I've always purchased domestic including a lot of Fords over the years and can't recall anytime being so disappointed After 12 months ownership of a loaded Edge Limited my list includes; Transmission thump (was fixed after 2 months but has now returned) The whole MFT system has been just one huge headache, almost daily Whistling noise from heating system Vista roof jamming Misaligned driver door Rust spots are now beginning to appear in areas and I'm positive these aren't rock chips This could have been a very good product, it certainly has the looks but looking forward to the day this POS is off my driveway

Mine is a 2011 Edge Limited AWD, 25,000 kms I've found that if you turn the fan on full and gently tap either the drivers or passenger windows to open very slightly the noise will become evident You don't have to have the car in motion so leave the vehicle and the noise seems to be worse on the outside. Press on the window from the outside and the noise will stop...!!! Not sure what the fix will be but obviously its a window seal issue

Yep, me too. After they installed mine I had possibly a week of zero trouble I've given up on this POS to be honest and close to realizing that within a month (after we receive the new update) that we've all been taken for a huge ride by Ford

Below is the comments I had from Ford on Sunday; I think we've all suffered enough, don't you? We're currently working on an upgrade for the MyFord Touch system. This will be mailed to you this spring. It will come on a preloaded USB thumb drive. For more information, check out: http://media.ford.com/article_display.cfm?article_id=35502

Ford has assured me I'll be getting the MFT update which is supposed to end all my issues on my 2011 Limited. That being the worst I should also mention transmission bump, closing sunroof, whistling noises, misaligned drivers door, etc, I really don't have the time to be Fords tester. Too bad as this vehicle had a lot going for it with design looks, size and performance. Ford built this in North America with cheap offshore suppliers is my bet. Very dissipointed...!!!

I believe your supporting cheap Chineese parts there Superdave...!!!

Good point I've often thought after reading some of the comments on here that Akirby and some others on these boards aren't real people, just Ford PR voices covering up all this mess.

My advice would be to wait and see if Ford are really going to fix this MFT mess for 2013 (I've had nothing but problems since day one) End of lease can't come soon enough on my 2011 AWD Limited

Hi Weezer, did you get this resolved? Something similar is happening with my vehicle this morning. You mentioned the rear door but I'm not sure exactly where the noise is coming from, thought it was more from the dashboard area and seems to get louder the faster you go. Looks like another visit to the dealer Thanks

I'm not surprised for one single moment...!!!! Problems with this system have been evident for close to two years now. Do you really believe it takes this long to correct, geez this is not space travel we're talking here No guys we're in this for the long haul with Ford I'm afraid

Well after three visits (and fixes) to my dealer they finally replaced the APIM The screen is definitely more responsive to touch but the troubles with delay and freezing are still there. The navigation has stopped and read "fault" at least 3 times this week and can only be reset with restarting the vehicle...!!! To be honest, all I want is this 50K POS out of my driveway, I've had enough and really can't afford wasting my time going back and fore the dealer. Ford did a terrible job on this system and deserves all the criticism it’s getting Lease end can't come soon enough fo me

Scopio, you have a week left, make the most of it bud. Believe me, the best part about buying an Edge is the waiting, if only I would have listened...???

Welcome to the nightmare called MFT / Sync / ...........

Totally unacceptable..!!

I'm struggling to keep calm some days and not put my fist through the darn thing,. Seems every time the black screen appears is when I need the navagation

Believe me the 2:11 update doesnt resolve my issues, still getting the dreaded black screen at least once a week

I would be interested to know does ....ANYONE... have a perfect system or is this is what to expect with MFT..?? Since I've had my 2011 Edge Limited AWD, the screen is slow, goes blank often, navagation freezes at least once a week with the only way to correct is shut the vehicle down for a hour. I have the "latest and greatest" updated to 2.11 a couple of weeks ago. Really, I'm not impressed

Thanks I'll have to try that. I'm still getting black outs after the 2:11 update but just haven't had time to get it back to the dealer Its the Navigation that stops working but after the vehicle sits for an hour it corrects itself..........weird stuff this MFT

Mine is in the shop today having repairs done to the "banging" issue with the AWD. In fairness to the Ford dealer they were very helpful, obviously wishing to correct any problems. They're slowly getting to all my complaints and I'm slowly getting a little less irritated with my vehicle :happy feet:

Had mine updated from 2.4 to 2.11 yesterday Certainly is quicker, I'm hoping all the frustrations and negative comments I've made about this vehicle are put to rest

Like many others on this forum I loved this vehicle for the first 1000 K, then the Sync issues began and have turned into something new every other day. The navigation is useless, the lag at start up is frustrating (sometimes never does boot-up, until I pull over and start again) Such a shame really as it handles well, great looking and a comfortable vehicle Would I still dump it? Yes, without giving a second thought

I've just about had it with this vehicle, every day seems to be a new adventure Moon roof struggling to close one day, rear end thumping away the next. Todays problem is the dreaded blank navigation screen with message saying "theres a fault" FAULT...??? this whole vehicle is one big fault Ford putting this out on the market when its obvious there are so many deficiencies is almost criminal. They really to to step up and fix this mess Sadly I can't see any help from Ford, numerous problems were mentioned on this forum from 2009's and 2010's. They still are cropping up with 2011's, what does that tell you? Least of my problems is the annoying mis-aligned drivers door, give me a break, this is QA at its worst for how many years..??? End of rant

Agreeded CV27, however 7th wonder it is not, 7th BLUNDER... maybe?

Yep in a heartbeat, guess I'm somewhat fortunate its a lease

I'm experinening many issues that you speak about and have decided after this lease runs out I'll not make the same mistake again. What infuriates me is Ford is just not listening or taking notice of the repairs coming from their dealers. Some of these issues are from 2009 or 2010 model years...!!! You'll find buying an "import" doesn't really solve anything either, Toyota, Audi, Nissan among others that have quality problems on their hands. It's the correcting of these problems I would like to see. I understand offshore sourcing by Mercedes, BMW and more recently Toyota (very red faced and serious about getting back to where they were) is now being considered. "Profits over quality" is about to change throughout the industry maybe...just maybe????
