Well I have to sat that I too am very disapointed in the Edge. We have driven Fords forever and were looking at an import Nissan or the Edge. I made a mistake. Even though almost 100% of the MFT equiped Edges have issues i still bought one. And for the most part the dealer has had ours almost as much as we have. Mine too has a hard shift issue and has 5k miles on it. Has been back 4 times and had 2 APIM computers and three updates. Seems Ford still does not have a handle on the MFT. I should have bought the Nissan. It was cheaper and therer are no known issues. I can pretty much guarntee to anyone who buys a Ford Edge you better like the dealership cause you will spend many hours there getting the MFT worked on. Oh, and now our head liner is falling down over the passenger side front seat. Nice vehicle.
