Thanks Guys! Appreciate the input. Anyone else think the same...or different?

Hello Everyone, I am currently looking at purchasing an 08' Ford Edge with 60,000km on it. The Edge i am looking at is the FWD (Front Wheel) model. I have taken it overnight for a test drive and everything seems fine. There are a few things i wanted to adress that are of concern. I have read quite a bit on this site that there are transmission problems and there are some power steering problems. When i test drove the car i noticed that at low speeds the power steering causes a noise almost as if it is struggling to steer and it causes a small vibration (making the noise at the same time). Also i am currently getting out of a car that requires quite expensive repairs and i just wanted to make sure that im not looking at a vehicle that will be the same thing all over again (expensive repairs such as transmissions). Any advise or words of wisdom? My first impression is that the vehicle is quite reliable, however i just want to make sure there are not any major problems such as these plaguing the Edge. Thanks, Dan
